DEATH OF MRS. JEFFERSON

Davis in New York Tuesday night
will cause much sadness Throughout
the south, whese she was so uni
versally loved and venerated. The
people of the south have never
wavered in their love for all that
pertained to Jefferson Davis, and
in his widow they felt they had a
tie that still bound them 20 the man
who was so long the idol of the
southern people.
When Mrs. Davis gave up her
residence in the south and made
her home in New York it was
matter of great grief to the people
of every southern state. But Mrs.
Davis, while ever loyal to the south
and southern people, was OIL. north
ern descent. While she was born
in Natchez, Miss, her grandfather
was Richard Howell, who COM
manded the New Jersey troops in
putting down the first rebellion
that arose against the American
government, and was afterward
governor of that state. 1t is stated
that her residence in the north was
purely for the sake of her health.
Her winters were passed in New
York city and her summers gener-
ally on the New England coast.
Mrs. Davis was about 80 years
of age at the time of her death, and
was married to Jefferson Davis Feb.
25, 1S45, being his second wife.
She was with him during all the
troublous time that he was at the
head of the i'll fated southern Con
federacy, and also when he was
captured after the hegira from
Richmond. During the first year
of his Imprisonment she was not
permitted to be with him in For
tress Monroe, but the second year
she was permitted to share his cap
tivity.
After the release of Jefferson
Davis from prison, the couple went
to England, where they remained
several years, and upon their return
made their home in Memphis. |
Tenn, where they resided until |
1878, removing from that city to
Miss, where they made
their permanent home. Mrs. Davis |
acted as her husband s amanuensis
when he wrote his Decline and |
Fall of the Confederate Govern
ment, and after his death wrote a
variety of magazine and newspaper
articles.
OF the six children of Jefferson
Davis hut one survives, Mrs. J. A.
Hayes of Colorado Springs, Colo.
The name of Jefferson Davis has
been perpetuated in his grandson,
Jefferson Davis Hayes, who by
enactment, has had his
name changed to Jefferson Davis.

DOWN CANYON

CULDESAC, Idaho. Aug. A.
The bodies of c. A. Johnson, Gust
Resell and Andrew Olson, who
were killed by a delayed blast on
the Northern Pacific extension,
have reached the city. They were
found 200 feet down the side of the
canyon from the point where the
fatal explosion occurred. Oscar
Olson, the foreman, received a
fracture of the skull, a broken leg
and decorations of the face, but
is expected to recover. The per-
sonal effects of the dead men
which have not yet been brought
in will furnish the only clue to the
whereabouts of the relatives.

DURHAM, Natal, Aug. 4.-Re-
voting, wholesale killing has been
going on in Natal and Zululand for
two months. The country has been
turned into a great human slaugh-
tering field. Between May and
July 5, 1928 blacks were killed, the
British losses not amounting to
more than 80.
There are 10000 whites in Natal
and Zululand, which is under the
Natal government, and 100000
blacks. The blacks have revolted
against what they consider unjust
taxation and are on the warpath.
Thirty thousand Zulus have taken
the field, swearing not to suspend
hostilities until they exact conces-
sions from the Natal government.
Opposed to them are 5000 white
soldiers. Fighting has been almost
continuous since the first part Of
May, but the Zulus show no signs
of yielding.
The utmost savagery prevails on
both sides. The blacks tortue all
their prisoners, and the white
troops are out to kill and do not
spare the wounded.
The Zulus, armed only with asse-
gals or old muskets, can never get
near enough to the troops to do
much damage. The latter, with
their Mausers and quick firing guns
are able to pour into the blacks a
deadly fire at long range.
The Natal government declares
that it is only by this barbarous
method of slaughter that the blacks
can be held in check, and a fear
full massacre prevented.
Natal attributes the real respon-
sibility for the present uprising to
the black American missionaries
that work in Zululand and Natal
They have formulated the doctrine
of Ethiopianism, which means in
this particular instance Natal and
Zululand for the blacks. Young
Zulu boys are sent to be edhcated

COURT RECORDS FOR MARCH
SHOW THERE HAVE BEEN
NINE DIVORCE SUITS.
WERE THIRTY MARRIAGES
This Basis 1t Would Indicate That
Nearly One Third of the Unions
Are Unhappy.

From the appearance of the Wayne
Circuit Court Docket, it seems that it
is very nearly as easy to be divorced
as it is to be married In this county.
During the month of March, nine di-
vorce suits have been filed and all
of them, with more from February
will be heard in the April term of
court.
Nine divorce suits in one month
may not look SO very formidable but
when the whole year is taken. with
March as an average, the figures
show that over 100 couples seek d.
vorce each year in Wayne County,
and most of the divorces are granted
During the twenty-eight days Of
this month about thirty suits have
been filed in the Circuit Court. With
nine of them divorce suits, it shows
that nearly 33 per cent of the Courts
time is taken up in separating per-
sons who are unhappily married.
There have also been about thirty
marriage licenses issued during the
month, and If all the divorces are
granted, figures show that one third
of the marriages In Wayne County
are rank failures.

HER EVIDENCE.
SUIT IS NO SURPRISE
Suit viii Come Up In Circuit Court at
Latonia, KY. - A Sister.in.Law of
John Locke.

Mrs. Sol. Locks, wife of the Wayne
County man who is now serving time
at Michigan City, has brought suit for
divorce In the Circuit Court at Lato-
MIA Kentucky. Mrs. Locke is a sis
ter-inlaw of John Locke, the daring
criminal who was recently captured
in San rancisco.
During the trial of tn Locke family,
and of Sol Locke, last summer, Mrs.
Sol Locke testified against her hus.
band, and 1T was partly through her
evidence that he was found guilty of
larceny. There did not seem to be
much affection between the couple
then and the divorce suit in Kentucky
is no surprise.
Mrs. Locke is former Wayne
County woman, having been born and
always lived near Hagerstown.
