Poems Read, Scotch Cakes Eaten
and Hot Scotch Drunk.
The members of the st. Andrews
Society met in their rooms in the Hus-
sars' Club last night and celebrated
the 145th birthday of the greatest
of Scotch bards-Robert Burns.
Nearly fifty members of the society
were present to drink silent toast to
the great Scotchman. For over a hun
bred years it has been the custom
of the st. Andrews Society to celebrate
the birthday of Bobbie Burns. The
celebrations are Enthusiastically
Scotch.
The memory Of Burns is toasted, his
poems are read and recited, Scotch
songs are sung, Scotch cakes are eat
en-, hot Scotch is drunk and fitting trib-
ute is paid in speech and story to the
Scotch bards that no other comes into
the reckoning.
Hot scotch Was Brewed.
A steaming kettle sat by the presi-
dents side. and hot Scotch was brew
ed as only native Scotchmen know
how. 1t was a jolly gathering of men
famed by birth for not knowing joke
when they see it, but in fact, not d
thick-headed lot, that sat around the
long table in the societys room for
three hours and told stories sang songs
and cracked jokes that would upset
the staidest of men. President William
F. Train presided.
Rev. DR.. ]. d. Jordan delivered a
short address eulogizing the great
Scotchman whose birthday annivers-
airy was being celebrated. DR.. Jor-
dan spoke of Burns early days and
of his character i'm later life. He re-
ferred to him as the greatest of Scotch
men and one of the greatest of all
poets of any age. He spoke for a
quarter of an hour and was loudly
applauded.
Tam O'Shanter" Was Read.
After the silent toast to Burns, Judge
Henry McAlpin read his famous Tam
O'Shanter." The members followed
with the song Tam Frew" and Queer
Folk O. the Snaws." From then on
song followed song, story followed
story only the hot Scotch intervening
with an occasional sandwich and
Scotch cake Among the song sang
by different members of the society
were: Scots Wha' Haze" Bonnie
Dundee" Annie Laurie" Some
body" and My Bonnie Meg"
There were several happy speNches,
reminiscent of meetings of the st. An
drews Society. AS the clock struck ~
a toast was drunk to every member
Of the society from the Bobbie Burns
cup. and joining hands around the
table they sang "Auld Lang Syne."

Chas. stafford, Alleged Murderer or
Brown Evans, Gone to Texas.
Bicycle Officer C. T. Christie has re-
turned from Cameron, Screven county,
where he went the latter part of last
week with the hope that he might
be able to apprehend the slayer of his
wifes nephew. The much wanted
man is Charles Stafford, and he is al
legged to have shot and killed Brown
Evans in Screven county on the even
ing of Dec. "a without provocation.
When the officers got hot on his
trail it is said. he induced his younger
brother Grover Stafford. to surrender
and tell the officers that he was the
guilty party and that he shot Evans
in self-defense Grover Stafford ac-
cordingly presented himself at the
sheriff's office and confessed that he
had killed Brown Evans.
The search was then abandoned un-
til after the elder brother had been
given sufficient time to make good his
escape, and the younger brother then
told a different story. He said that
his brother Charles had threatened him
If he did not come forward and sur
render in order that he might make
good his escape. The sheriff Of Screw
en- county, however, is still holding
Grover Stafford until his brother is
apprehended.
After travelling all day Saturday and
up until late Sunday afternoon Chris
tie finally located the house given as
StaffOrd's hiding place. but the man
was not to be found. His wife and
child were living in the house with
Stafford's father-in-law, but from the
best information Christie could gather
the elder Stafford boy has gone to
Texas.
