1t seems that the sudden death o.
Assistant United States District At
torney Buchanan, which recently oc
Cured in Oxford, Mississippi, has
caused another delay in the work Of
closing up the deal for the property
on which the Federal building here
is to be erected. Mr.. Montgomery
came here in March to examine the
title of the McQuown property at the
corner of College and Sixth streets.
which was selected by the treasury
department as the site of the pro-
posed structure, and told Mr.. Nc
Quown that he would hear from him
later regarding the matter. Soon
after Mr.. Buchanan's death Mr.. Nc
Quown's attorney, Col. c. L. Lincoln,
wrote to the treasury department re-
garding the matter, and in reply re-
ceived a letter stating that no report
on the title had ever reached the Of
fee of the secretary of the treasury.
AS matters now stand. it seems
that another man will have to be sent
here to examine the title, and it may
be several months before any defin-
tie decision is finally reached.

A SAD TRAGEDY
AT CARROLLTON
JNO. PARKER, WE'LL KNOWN IN
COLUMBUS. KILLS FRANK
II. THEROU. PROSPER
Gus TIMBER MAN.
The killing Occurred Last Tuesday
and is the Result of Family
Troubles-Pub1ic Opinion
Exonerates Parker.

deplorable tragedy took place
near Carrollton, Ala, last Tuesday,
when Mr.. John Parker, of the firm
| of Robinson & Parker, shot and kill
| ed Mr.. F. B. Theron, a well known
| timber man living in the Carrollton
neighborhood. The killing resulted
| from an alleged intimacy between
Mrs. Parker and the dead man. Mr.
Parker and his wife separated about
| two weeks ago, and Mrs. Parker went
to the house of her brother, Mr.. Lem
McKinstry, to reside. On last Tues
day Parker visited the McKinstry
homestead for the purpose, so it is
said, of effecting a reconciliation with
his wife. When he arrived she was
not at home, and having learned that
she had gone for walk he followed
her. Parker had proceeded but
short distance up the road when he
saw his wife in company with The
rou, and pulling out his pistol he
fired on the man, killing him in
stantly.
took his wife to the home of her
brother and then proceeded to the
undertaking establishment of Mr.
Spencer Curry in Carrollton. He told
Mr.. Curry that he had killed Therou,
and after telling him where the kill
ing occurred suggested that he take
charge of the body and prepare it
for burial.
All the parties concerned are very
prominent in the business and social
circles of the community in which
they reside, and the shooting natur-
ally created intense excitement there.
Parker, as stated above, is a mem ber
of the firm of Robinson & Parker,
and is very we'll known in Colum bus.
His wife is a member of a prominent
Western Alabama family, being the
daughter of the late Hon. o. L. Nc
Kinstry, who was for many years
probate Judge of Pickens county. She
is refined and highly educated lady, |
who has stuck by Parker in numer-
Gus trials and vicissitudes, and the |
pOSItIOu III WHICH she mas /
been placed by the shooting awakens |
universal sympathy. Theron, who
was a French Canadian, had been |
living in the Carrollton neighbor- |
hood for several years, and seeming
ly enjoyed the confidence and esteem
Of all who knew him. He was be-
tween thirty-five and forty years of
age, and leaves a wife and several
children.
Mr.. Parker was arraigned before
Mayor Latham at Carrollton at four
, o'clock Thursday afternoon. The de-
iendant was represented by Messrs.
Curry and Robinson, and after listen
ng to the testimony, which was to
he effect that Mr.. Parker was forced
o shoot Theron in order to avenge
lis wife's honor, the mayor found
lim not guilty and dismissed the
.ase

The Pensacola Road.


/ vile, Ala, was in the city the past
/ week. Mr.. Coleman is one of the
| leading citizens of the Pickensville
country, public spirited, and is very
much interested in the building OF
the Memphis & Pensacola Railroad
subscribing literally to that enter
prise. Mr.. Coleman keeps an ear
open all the time for news from this
road. and always gives the Colum bus
people the benefit of the rumors that
reach him from time TO time
Upon the occasion of his recent
visit here he stated that he was as
sured by travelling men from that
section that work on the road from
Pensacola. Fla, to Andalusia, Ala,
a distance Of nearly eighty miles,
was actively in progress, and this
much of the road will be completed
and in operation before the present
year is over. While this particular
piece of roadbed is intended to be
part of the line, its construction does
not mean, necessarily, that the whole
road will be built right away, for
the Andalusia extension gives the
people of Pensacola connection with
another system, other than the L. &
N, and that is the main reason why
this part of the work is being rushed
to completion.
A significant circumstance which
comes to Mr.. Coleman by rumor is
that the surveying party is in the
field making permanent location of
the line, and it is stated that they are
in the Demopoiis neighborhood en-
gagged in this work. If this report
is true it is encouraging to the peo-
pie of this section for two reasons;
first, that the location of the perma-
nent line by the surveying party is
indicative of the fact that work will
soon begin, and coming to Demopolis
would show that the original plans
of the projectors TO build the road
to Columbus would be carried cut
Columbus has never subscribed to
this enterprise, although West Point
and other cities in Mississippi have
done so. That the builders of the
road realize that this city will sub
scribe, there can be no doubt, for
once convinced that the line viii be
built, the people of this city and
county will make any reasonable !
concessions and subscriptions in or
der to assure the road being brought |
to Columbus.
The Memphis and Pensacola road |
is a project in which the people of |
this city feel a deeper interest than |
IN all others. for it's construction will +.
mean the making of a great city
here. For that reason any rumor
developments in this di-
'ection is of supreme interest.

man who has ever held the ONCE of
State superintendent of education.
He was appointed to the Office by
Governor McLaurin on September
IT, 1898, to succeed Prof. A. A. Kin
cannon, who resigned to accept the
tute and College, and it is somewhat
of a coincidence that he now retires
from the Office of superintendent of
education to succeed Prof. Kincan-
non at that institution, the latter
having been recently elected TO the
chancellorship Of the University of
Mississippi.
During his nine years incumbency
of the Office of State superintendent
Prof. Whitfield has waged contin-
uous and aggressive campaign for
the betterment of the common school
system, and he has succeeded in hav
ing the rural school term heightened
by more than two months each year;
better salaries paid to teachers, high
er professional standard required for
those employed in teaching work,
numerous new school houses built,
and local tax levies made TO support
the schools. He is the author of
many of the school laws now on the
statute books, the past four legisla-
tive sessions having given pronpt en-
dorsement to his suggestions, and it
was due to his earnest recommenda-
ton and counsel that the legislature
Of 1900 enacted the uniform school
book law.
Prof. Whitfield is native of the
county of Rankin, which has pro-
duced more good politicians and sue
cessful public men than any county
in the State. He is the eldest son
Of Robert Allen Whitfield and Mary
Fftzhugh Whitfield, whose ancestors
came from England in the seven
-eenth century and located in the
Carolinas and in Virginia. Henry
Whitfield was born on a farm near
Brandon on June 20, 1868. His ia /
her, who is still residing in that /.
county, is a member of the Baptist I
church. The youth attended the Fan |
lin high school under the instruction /
If the late DR.. L. T. Fitzhugh, after /
ward president of Belhaven College. |
He entered the Mississippi College /
n December, 1885, and was gradu-
tied with a B. \. degree in 1894.
Dhe college course OF Prof. Whitfield
vas not continuous, for he was COM
oelled to work alternate years to
,rocure the means with which to
Inish the course of study.
After leaving Mississippi College
'rof Whitfield taught in. the public
chools of Rankin county about five
ears, and was principal of the
'teens Creek high school. one of the
est institutions in that section of
he State. for about six years, leay-
ng that place when he was appoint
d superintendent Of education in
82S. He was elected for a full term
n 1899 and reelected in 1908, each
ime without opposition.
Prof Whitfield was married on
-uguest 25, 1897, at Steens Creek,
} Miss sary Damper White, daugh-
7r of DR.. and Mrs. William Henry
White, and they have three children.
Le is prominent in the fraternities,
elonging to a large number of or
ers, and his career in the Office of
tate superintendent of education has
lown him to be man of rare exec
tive ability and force of character,
hose work for the ST. re has been =,
inestimable value.

At the beginning Of Fridays game
things looked easy for Columbus, but
appearances are ever deceptive, and
what looked like a victory for the
DISCOVERIES finally resulted in their
ignominious defeat, Jackson having
won the game by a nine to nothing
score. Watson started in to pitch for
the visitors, and Wright's men had
easy walking to the bases. They
had the bases full in the first inning,
with every prospect of one, and pos
sibly two of three, runs, when Wat
son relinquished the pitchers box
to Robinson, who retired the side
before a single Columbian scored.
Wright also worked two pitchers, |
but neither one proved impregnabIe |
to the onslaught of the visitors. |
Meredith, who since coming here
from Webb City has been playing |
great ball, started in to pitch for the |
locals, and the rooters in both grand |
stand and bleachers felt sure that he |
would win his game, but it was an /
off day for Meredith, and the slug I
gers from the city Of blind tigers
md "benched" politicians batted him

fifth inning, giving place to Casey,
Who pitched the remainder Of the
game. Casey started out well, but I

risitors continued TO increase, three
'uns having been made after he en-
cred the box.

Not a Single Columbian Touched the

Runs on Yesterday.

Inability to hit Chrisman caused
the Columbians TO lose the opening
game with Jackson on Thursday af-

secured by Jackson in exchange for
the illustrious bug" Raymond sent
the pigskin hurrying and scurrying

three hits were secured during the
progress of the game. These were
made by Huber, Wright and Ar

a single runner even went beyond
the third bag.

locals, and barring a sporadic ten
dency toward wildness pitched a very
good game. The Blind Tigers got
their claws, or rather their clubs, on
nine of his balls for hits that were
good enough to be recorded as safe
ties in the official scores, and he al
lowed four Of the Jacksonians to
walk to the pie counter, which in
baseball parlance is known as first
base, but Whee1er's work on the
whole was rather good, and had the
locals been able to connect more ef-
fectively with Chrisman's curves they
might have won the game.
