A very happy. event and one
which will long be remembered by
those present was the wedding OF
Mary Elizabeth Nelson and Char
lee q. RydelI ON New Years Day
at the home Of the bride.
When the last strains of Lohen-
grin's march had failed away, Rev.
William Kerry pronounced the
marriage ceremony in the pre-
sence of about eighty invited
friends. many OF whom had been
school day playmates of the bride.
In gown of purest white, IN
which simplicity and elegance
were wonderfully blended, the
bride was charming, and the
groom looked exceedingly happy
in his conventional black.
After the ceremony the guests
were invited to partake of a most
bOuntiful dinner prepared aud
served only as one well versed in
the Scandinavian art of cooking
eau prepare.
After an afternoon of music and
son, the guests departed Wishing
the worthy Young couple many re-
turns Of the happy day.

Operation. to Start on p.m.B.

We are glad to learn that the
P-M-B people are making arrange
ments to again start proceedings
on their property near Summit
vile. Mr.. Carpenter manager of
the Pass Me-By went East short
time ago and met with some of
the moneyed men of his company
who agree with him that this pro-
perry Is too valuable to lay idle.
Our understanding is that the new
capitalization will reach 81, 200, 900
and that n large milling plant will
be erected during the early sum
mer. Milling men aud expert
intercollegiate affirm that the first
vein cut IN the tunnel will alone
make of this property valuable
mine.
If the editor may be allowed to
express an opinion he would say
that the management of both the
Pass Nelly and the AsiatIc pro-
pertles have certainly gotten the
courage of their convictions and
have unhinchingly faced and over
come any and all hardships
through the strength of their
faith in the future production of
the territory held by them.
1t takes executive ability and
honesty of purpose for any man to
manage proposition successfully
where number of different peo-
pie are Interested. L. G. Carpen-
ter is especially strong along these
lines, never overestimating the
probabilities of his companies

cause of his desire to save the lives
of his children, whom he declares
innocent of the crime, and in order
to avoid further alleged suffering
and persecution, j. G.. Rawlins, for
mer clergyman and condemned and
sentenced murderer, has sent the
following letter to Governor Ter
rell
~ respectfully urge your excel.
lency not to interfere with the
speedy execution of the death sen.
tence. ! am tired of the whole
business, and ] want to be hanged
as soon as possible"
Rawllns and his three sons, Leo
nard, Milton and Jesse. were con-
victed for completely in the murder
of Willie and Carrie Carter, chill
dren Of w. L. Carter, with whom
Rawlins had had trouble for years.
1t is claimed that the actual
shooting of the children was done
by ALI Moore, negro, who con-
fessed that Rawlins had paid him to
do it. At the trial Moore claimed
that at the last minute his nerve
had failed him and he maintained
that Milton and Jesse Rawlins had
fired the shots that killed the Car
ter children.
On the night Of June 10, 1905. the
Carter children were shot down in
the yard of their fathers home,
about 10 miles north Of Valdosta,
and 1t is alleged that an attempt
was made to kill the rest of the
Carter family. The girl was almost
instantly killed and the boy died
about sunrise the following MORN
Ing. Moore was arrested at Staun-
ton, 80 miles north of here two
days later. Rawlins had been in
Vladosta on the night of the crime.

rested and convicted.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-While
the government has had its hands
full in the last year especially with
prosecutions of the trusts and the
railroads, some of the most i'm
portant cases are .sNll pending. In
the compass of a newspaper arti-
Gle it is hardly possible to do more
than simply name them.
One of these that the west par
ticularly is interested in is known
as the Eads bridge case, begun in
November, 1905. 1t is an action
against the Eads and the Mer-
chants bridge companies, maintain
ing the only railway bridges across
the Mississippi river at st. louis.
1t is charged by the government
that they are in a combination to
control transportation, and to levy
unreasonable charges to the great
detriment Of business on both
sides of the river. Special counsel
has been engaged, and the case is
ready for trial. Reports reach the
department that the mere starting
of the suit has resulted in sub
stantial concessions by the COM
panies.

special federal grand jury called in
Tennessee to consider evidence
which the department has been col

This combination of the manufac-

south, it is claimed, has been able
to take $40,000,O00 more in a single
year from the planters than the
members separately would have
been able to do. The action of the
government has resulted in a drop

pastor of the church. He got into
trouble there, and the conference
dropped him. Later he had some
trouble over some land records in
Douglas, Ga, and finally when we
bought adjoining farms here he
claimed some of my land.
l arranged matters so that Carter
could not bother by land any more
Then he began prosecutions of all
kinds. Seeing that | was against
him he tried to get rid of me. He
threatened to make me leave here,
and finally had me put under a
$1,000 peace bond, claiming that I
had shot at him. That night l went
home in the most trouble | had
ever been in. Next day l was told
there was a plot to get me in trou-
bic and collect the bond.
On the night of June 70, when
the negro came to me and offered
to put Carter out of the way If
would give him 800, | made what
now seems a very foolish trade, but
tortured as | was, | said, Eyes, get
rid of him, but be careful not to
hurt any of his family" and l will
say right here that | am as sorry
those children were killed as is
any man. AS to Carter, was too
troubled to realize anything.
One thing l do know; my boys
had nothing to do with the crime,
for kept it secret from them;
but they were arrested and the
trial was more like legal mob,
for excitement ran high.
Can you wonder that | want to
die, when / know that death will
expose what has been done against
my innocent boys? l know, if they
hang me they will hang the negro
who did the crime, and reason
teaches that the negro will confess
on the gallows, and then my boys
will be free.
After the trial my wife and two
little girls were turned out of doors
and we had to sell what we had to
pay loans and the peace bond. l
want to be hanged at once, for am
suffering and starving in Jail, and
see no hope for anything else. I
believe this the only way to show
that ALI Moore alone is guilty.
| have very little hope in the
world to come. l believe the malice
have against Carter and the Of
ficials who have done me and my
family this terrible wrong will car
ry me to hell. I have tried, but
| cannot forgive them unless they
acknowledge the wrong, and the
bible says if We don't forgive men
their trespasses, ours will not be
forgiven.
This last part Is what l am dread
ing. l believe the bible, and It con-
dennis me. l know l have got to
meet it, and ! know the ones who
did this wrong have got to meet 1t.
We will all be tried before a Judge
that is just and a jury that cannot
be deceived with lies.
l hope that all who read this will
watch this case to the end and see
If have not told the truth.
Very honestly,
