CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
Man Who Pretended to Be Clergyman at
Fake Wedding.

James Guimond and Joseph Larocke
are in st. Johnsbury Jail under serious
charge. They were arrested for conspir-
acy and are now awaiting a hear
ing.
1t is alleged that on the End of
last July Larocke and Miss Carrie Gotta
were married, the ceremony having been
performed by Guimond, who had care
fully curried himself to look like cler-
gyman and look as priestlike as possi-
bic. @The bridal party" left for Canada
Immediately after the Ceremony" and
| in the course of events the deception
was discovered and trouble followed.
Larocke abandoned the girl whom he
had "faked" into marriage with him,
and last week, thinking that the whole
thing had blown over, returned to st,
Johnsbnry, where he obtained work.

the authorities, who had warrants for
his arrest, and he and Gnimond were
promptly placed in custody. Peter Com.

The Brandon news., 1905-02-09

Mr.. BrJa in his Commoner, thus
calls attention to a tariff iniquity: !:
American tanners now import hides,
tan them and export them and get q
rebate amounting to practically the
full duty upon the hides. If the
hides are tanned and the leather
worked up by the leather workers of
this country the tariff is not rebated.
This means that American shoe manu-
facturers must pay more for their lea
ther than their foreign competitors
and naturally tho enhanced price Of
the leather falls upon those who pur-
chase the shoes. In other words, the
duty ON hides in connection with the
re bates, puts q premium on enchanced
prices in this country and is an in
ducement to ship abroad and sell at .
lower price than is charged the Ameri-
can consumer. Why should not
American weaIeTs Of shoes be treated
as fairly by the tariff as the foreign
Wearers Of American made shoes?''

JUDGE ALONZO G.. MAYERS
DEAD.

This honored, beloved and widely
known citizen lies dead at his home in
Brandon. where he has lived for
half century.
On the 9Th of next month he would
have reached his Saith year.
Judge Mayors was native Missis-
sippian, proud of his state and people.
His father was Virginian and came
to Wayne county in an early day, and
was time and again honor5d by the
people of that county. He married
Miss Cole, the daughter Of we'll.
known farmer, and the subject of this
notice is the eldest child of that
marriage. Before he reached his ma
jority, he was admitted to the bar and
became the law partner Of the late
Hon. John Watts, who was afterwards
Judge of the Circuit Court for many
years. Subsequently, while practi-
cling his profession at Raleigh the
late Judge Henry Mounger retired
from the Circuit Court bench and re-
sumed the practice of law at Paulding
when Mr.. Mayors became his law
partner.
While resident of Paulding he
was married to Miss Lizzie King, a
daughter of the late Andrew King, of
Rankin county, who died some four
years after their marriage. At the
age of 81 years he was married to Miss
Mamie McLaurin, daughter OF the
late Judge Daniel McLaurin, Of Gov
ington county. By this marriage
four children were born to them
Mrs. Olin Green, Meridian; D. M !.
Mayors, of Brandon; Henry Mayors.
of St. Louis, and Mrs. Lewis Dantzler,
of Moss Point.
While young man he was an
ardent Whig during the existence OF
that party and was nominated as the
Whig candidate for Congress against
Gov. A. G. Brown, but declined to
make the race.
Gov. Ropt. Lowry read law in the
office of Judge Mayors and when ad-
mitted to the bar, became his law
partner, which firm was continued
until Judge Mayors was appointed to
the Circuit Court bench of the Eighth
judicial District, which position lie
filled for twenty two years.
Judge Mayors was not only a law
student, but devoted much time to his
miscellaneous reading. Cultured, full
Of information, with fund of humor,
he was appreciated as gifted, enter
tanning and ccmpanionable gentle
man.
He left to mourn his loss, his chill
dren, his brother, Col. P. X. Mayors
of Scranton, his sister, Mrs. Mary
Everett, and his sweet Christian wife,
who was his helpmeet through sun
shine and storm, and many devoted
friends throughout the state.
Judge Mayors was an old land
mark. He loved the beautiful, loved
the right, loved his church and was
| true to his friends. A noble man, a
generous gentleman, was Judge Alonzo
| Mayers, Peace to / is ashes.

crat, and a member Of the Methodist
church. He was beloved throughout
the State. In Brandon he formed at
tachments that his friends will ever
cherish. A true Southerner, noble,
chivalrio and fearless man, a learned
jurlst and brilliant attorney, his loss
Is keenly felt.
