and Treasurer Of the negro lodge Of
Knights Of Pythias, and at at certain
meeting his books and accounts were to
be audited. without being aware that
Jones was in the room, the Chairman of
the Auditing Committee made some re-
marks casting reflections on the method
OF bookkeeping used by the Secretary
and Treasurer, and rather broadly insn-
uatcd fraud. A wordy quarrel followed,
the Chancellor Commander ordered all
the members to take their seats, which
Jones refused to do. The Chairman OF
the Auditing Committee seized largo
wooden AK, which was a part Of the
lodge paraphernalia, and started toward
Jones who, retreated to the apte-room.
The Chancellor Commanded descended
from his position at this Iuncture,
wrested the AK away from the Chairman
OF the Auditing Committee and renewed
the attack upon Jones, who was still in
the ante-room, apparently no longer
beligerent. As the Chancellor Com
mander approached, brandishing his az,
Jones pulled pistol and shot him dead.
The Supreme court reversed the case
and stated that the defendant should be
allowed to show defense, even though
he originally provoked the quarrel.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Blrmlngham's Chief of Police Is a Guest
Of Greenwood Relatives.

Col. W. q. Weir, Chief of Police Of the
city Of Birmingham, is in the city, the
guest OF his brother.in-law, Mr.. G. W
Vance.
Col. Weir is a wise man. All men who
occupy high official positions are sup
posed to be wise. Certainly Birming-
hams high Chief is "wise' in a great
many ways. For instance, he says that
Greenwood is easily the greatest town
in the world, with a future second TO no
city of its size beheath the skies.
Birmingham people would no doubt be
a little jealous il they knew that the
genial Colonel was engaged in boosting
Greenwood. His official head might be
in jeopardy. But, as we have said be-
fore, he is "wise' all right, and will
keep mum" when be gets home.
Col. Weir and party of local sports
men, headed by City Marshal c. j. Nc
Bride, left yesterday for a hunt in the
swamps near Greenwood.

The case OF W. B. Jones VS.. State was
reversed In the Supreme Court last ev-

given for the prosecution in the lower
court which contained fatal error, the
defendant being denied the right to
prove self defense. Jones was charged
with murder In the lower court trial,
and the circumstances Of the killing are
rather humorous. Jones was Secretary

Would you read from the book Of

For 1886 years the great tree grew
peacefully No man may tell what
happened beneath its mighty limbs.
Nations were born and died while the
sequoia drank the rains and breaihed
sunshine and added slowly to its
stature
In l441 there was another fire, and
Is9 years were required TO hide the
scars In 1880 there was another
bur1 which avs completely healed

Isn't that wonderful record?
These mighty California trees are the

The number Of these trees is limit

felled for timber purposes. Some
have been destroyed by hre. through

They are as truly a marvel as is
