fishing free rural route to
serve the people of that section.
1t will be recalled that a petition
was fled from that neighbor-
hood but nothing has been heard
from it and is supposed that the
department regarded it as i'm
practicable as it had to cross a
creek and had other obstacles
to overcome. Mr.. Harris is in
terested in another route which
will obviate these difficulties and
as soon as it is petitioned for it
is believed that it will be inspect
ed and established.

EIks' Memorial.

Sunday was Memorial Day in
the order of the Elks throughout
the United States and over

Of the dead. It was thus OBJ
served in Columbus The men,
bers of Columbus Lodge No. $50,
3. p. o. E., gathered al their
beautiful home on Main street
and with their relatives and
friends spent an hour in this
beautiful service.
The home was appropriately
decorated for the occasion. In
the center of the front room the
altar was erected and upon it
rested the Holy Bible, the flag
of our country and the EN- blem
OF the order, while innumerable
flowers surrounded the whole.
A large number of friends and
relatives of the deceased mem
bers filled the room when the
services began.
The ritualistic memorial SER
vice was read by Messrs. z. P.
Landrum, r. E. Mahon. Walter
Weaver, S. B. Johnston, Irwin
Kaufman and 2. w. Maer and
appropriate music was sung, af-
ter which Rev. Robt. w. Barn
Well was introduced for the ad-

Gin Burned.

The Refuge Cotton Oil Compa-
ny suffered a serious loss last
Monday at eleven o'clock when a
fire was started in it's gin plant
and before the flames could be
extinguished lad suffered a
81, 900 loss. The fire originated
in one of the gins and is suppose d
to have caught from a match
in the seed cotton. The press
boxes, the condenser and other
machinery was damaged, while
the gins were also slightly dam
aged. Mr.. Mcclure estimates
his damage at about two thous-
and dollars, which is completely
covered by insurance. 1t will be
some time before the damage
can be repaired.
The firemen got out in good
time and reached the fire in an
incredibly short while. They
got a good stream to work
and saved the building and other
valuable machinery. Fortunate
ly the wind was from the South
and the mill was not at any time
in danger.
In attempting to board the fire
wagon as it passed him Chief
Wakefield painfully injured his
foot and has been laid up ever
since. He expects to be out be-
fore the week is over, however.
An alarm was turned in from
the Third ward at an early hour
yesterday morning caused by the
burning of a servants house in
the rear of Mrs. Hutchinson s
residence on College Street.
The department an wer e d
promptly and extinguished the
flames before material damage
was done.

The Hearon Murder.

Mr.. L. 2. Laudrum and Capt.
Jas Hudson, chief of police,
left on the west-bound Southern
passenger train yesterday morn
ing for Greenwood, Miss. where
they went to attend the pre-
Iiminary trial Of J. It. Cannon,
who is held in that city under
the charge of murder. The pre-
iminary trial promised to BE an
interesting one. Cannon has en-
ployed McClurg & Gardner as
attorneys for his defense and the
case promises to be vigorously
contested. The trial was to oc-
cur before Mayor Win Varda-
man. brother of the Governor
elect and great interest was
manifested in it.
There have been few develop.
ments in this tragedy since our
last publication. From Mr.. Ian
drum, who went to Greenwood
Saturday. and from Capt Hud
son, who accompanied him, it is
learned that the so-called insult
which Hearon is alleged to have
offered Mrs. Cannon Is the sole
cause of the killing. This oc-
Cured way last July at the time
the woman was experimenting
the shipment of her household
goods to Tuscaloosa. The de
fense will attempt to set up the
claim that the dead man made
an insulting proposal to the wO-
man Mr.. Landrumhas Il letter
of Gannon's written last July to
Mr.. w. B. Hopkins, of this city,
in which he complained of the
ungentlemanly conduct of Mr..
Hearon and in which an apology
was demanded. GannOn's de
fense is that he had just cause
for the killing. HearOn s dying
statement, cOrrObOrated by wit
nesses. is that there was no such
cause. Hearon stated that he
never saw the man who killed
him before the shooting and
never knew any member of his
family.
1t is a singular occurrence,
but Cannon. upon his arrival at
Greenwood, went to the home Of
a man named Carr. Carr is a.
policeman and it is said that
Cannon told him that he intend
ed thrashing a man Instead Of
Carr arrestipg him he accompa-
MED the murderer until he near
ly reached the depot when he
left him but soon resappeared
after the shooting. 1t was re
ported in the city Monday that
Mayor Vardaman had justly sus-
pended Carr from police duty.
a telegram from Mr.. Landrum
to THE DISPATCH last night
stated tnat Cannon had been
bound over to await the action of
the grand jury under a fifteen
hundred dollar bond.

Death OF Mrs. A. 6. EasIeY.

On November 30th, 1903, at
9 80 a. M, Mrs. 3. A. Easley,
wife of the late Hon. A. @. Eas-
ley, fell asleep in Christ TO rest
from the labors of a long. WELL
spent life until the bright spring
morning of the Resurrection
when, answering the welcome
summons of the Blessed One in
whom she trusted, she will come
again to meet the beloved ones
left behind for a season.
This estimable, good lady was
born in Morgan county, Ala. =.
Oct. 22nd. 1888. hence was 65
years, one month and eight days
old. Notwithstanding her long,
painful illness she was conscious
to the last, conyersing with her
children and grand children who
tenderly and affectionately gath
cred around her bedside. The
distinguishing traits of her char
acter were mOdesty, sweetness
of temper and loyalty. Her in
fluence, which was bOundless,
was more like the enchanting
gentleness of the moon than the
blazing sun, and all who were
fortunate enough to know her
felt her influence for their good.
While rarely heard or seen in
public, so quiet and modest in
disposition, she was an active,
living example of true Christian
womanhood. nobility of mind and
pu, ity of heart. Like her Lord,
she lived not for self but the
good of others and the glory of
her beloved Master.
Mr.. and Mrs Easley were sue
cessful in life in the truest sense
of the word. Living consistent
Christian lives, such were their
exam pies and teachings that they
lived to see all of their children
mem bers of the church they
loved so we'll. In the stormy
days of the sixties they began
life together, poor financially but
rich towards God; and as their
children reached maturity, by
the blessings of God, they were
enabled to provide each with a
comfortable home and cOmpe-
tency; and themselves ample
provision for their deserving
old age. We thank God for such
noble lives and examples, and
feel safe in saying the world and
all who knew them are the bet
ter for these two having lived.
The good mother in Israel leaves
to mourn her loss six children,
eighteen grand children n d
countless friends.
Sleep sweetly, thou hand maid
of God; rest peacefully till sum-
moned to thy eternal JOY in the
heaven of heavens of the Father.

Communicated.


Mr.. EDITOR: I have read with
much interest your article on the
Stonewall factory investment by
the citizens Of Columbus. I
agree with you fully that the in
vestment of $500. 900 90 in a New
York factory located in Coium-
bus would have increased the
population largely and been
worth many thousands OF dol
lars to this com immunity. .
1 will tell you the reason why
our people go out of Colum bus to
invest in factories and enter
prises. You know we built a lit
tie factory here-a very small
one. We thought we were ex-
empt from the tax collector for
ten years by act OF the legisla-
ture. The town and county re
spected the law Of the legislature
and did not tax il for ten years,
but after the expiration Of the
ten years the State Revenue
Agent called on US. The town
and county still refused to 60
back on their former action, but
the State still persisted in back
tax claims. They did not get all
they claimed but got a small porr
tiOn only. Now we come to the
cream of factory values. This
little factory had worked up and
had bought machinery and put
up buildings which COST over
S187. 100000 but worth only So
10000 when the State. county
and town all jumped on it with
both feet for taxes. The county
and town taxed it at full valua-
Jion; they wanted and collected
some $4,000 the first year they
got a chance at it and passed
some orders that l am ashamed
to call attention to but one
must be mentioned. One was
requiring the factory to close mp
the openings IN their water
pipes that were left open to re-
ceive the surface water on Mil
itary street and requiring the
factory to extend the water pipe
to MOOre's Creek and also pro-
llibiting the use of the streets for
laying water pipes, both Of which
were as indispensable for the
factory as the engines, without
first getting a permit from the
mayor and council with many
other annoyances, showing very
clearly they did not want an in
dustry of that kind. But we are
a most liberal people; we have
borrowed money! suppose
about all we could-and built
an elegant structure for the
United States postoffce and as
[ understand furnish it with
light, water, ETC., and all at the
towns cost. The government
furnishes its own postofice in
some places that have less than
six thousand people, but we are
rich as long as we can borrow.
