MINISTERS LEFT OUT, TOO
They Will Have to Pay Full Railroad
Fare This Year Just Like
Everybody Else.

/ Ministers, like editors, will pay
full railroad fare this year.
1t has been the custom with rail-
roads for years to grant ministerial
permits which entitled the holder to
reduced rates on the roads. Under
the new rate law, which prevents
the giving of passes, the roads will
not be allowed to grant these per-
mits. At least one road, the A. B..
& A., has so interpreted the law.
Local agent McMullen, of this road,
has received a communication from
General Passenger Agent McFadden
stating that all ministers must pay
full fare after Jan. l.
This is a severe blow to the col
ored ministry" said local railroad
man in discussing the matter today
THE railroad 'demit' was one of the
chief emoluments of the colored min
isters office. Without it, | fear there
is going to be a material sluffing off
in the number of local eXhorters. 1t
would surprise the average man to
know the number of these preachers.
Many of them are only known pro-
fessionally to the passenger depart
ments or ticket agents of the roads.
The new ruling is going to be a
severe blow to them. "-Moultrie OBJ

HISTORIC BRIDGE is DOOMED
A WASHINGTON LANDMARK OUT
GROWS IT'S USEFULNESS.
structure Over Which Thousands of
Soldiers and Refugees of Two
Wars Crossed Is Soon
to Be Replaced.
to Be Replaced.

Long Bridge, the historic old
wooden structure across the Poto-
mac, connecting link between Wash
lngton and the south, is to be torn
down A modern steel bridge has
been completed to take it's place.
The work of demolishing it has
already been begun. With the
bridge will go one of the oldest
landmarks around the capital. Every
period in the history of the capital
draws some of its interest from the
framework which is now disappear
ing.
In the war 1912, when it was re-
ported that the British fleet was APP
preaching the capital, thousands of
volunteers from southern states
rushed across the bridge to defend
Washington
In the civil war the first soldiers
OF the federal army to enter Virginia
crossed the bridge. For many days
after the outbreak of hostilities in
1861 a company of Rhode Island
soldiers guarded the Washington
end while the Washington Light In
fantry occupied the Virginia end.
May 23 of that year Captain Pow
ellis Zouaves crossed the bridge into
Virginia and sent the confederate
pickets into Alexandria,
On the day of the battle of Bull
Run thousands of men from the fed
eral army, routed and disorganized,
retreated to the capital by way of
the bridge, followed almost to the
Potomac by the confederates. The
roadway of the bridge on that day
was blocked with the fleeing union
soldiers and horses and carriages of
officials at Washington who had
driven into Virginia to witness the
battle.
Veterans of the Army of the Po-
tomac under General Meade, May
23, 1865, marched across this
bridge to their homes in the north
On the following day the victorious
thousands of the Army of Tennessee
and Georgia, with General Sherman
at their head, entered the city.
The Long Bridge was used by the
Southern Railway, the Chesapeake
& Ohio, and the Atlantic Coast Line
for southern traffic. The bridge
was originally opened May 20, 1909,
and cost 100000. 1t has several
times been destroyed by freshets and
ice.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LORD
AND is VERY WELL PLEASED
WITH THE ARRANGEMENT.
Hardware Merchant of Minneapolis
Admits the Lord to Silent Part
ship and Gives Him
Share of Profits.

H. 0. Roberts, hardware mer-
chant of Minneapolis, was distrust-
full of his fellow-men as business
partners, so he drew up a written
agreement with the Lord This was
in May, 1898. The inscription he
wrote on the fy-leaf of his ledger of
each succeeding year was this:
Il promise, as the Lord shall pros
per me, | will act as his steward and
give to him as follows: If / make
$1,000 annually, 800; $1,000,
$3.50; $4,000, $500; $4,000, 1925;
$4,000, $1,000; $4,000, $500"
Roberts claims that he has pros
pered by carrying out his agreement
until he has reached the last men
toned figures. He says he has no
desire to go back to his old methods
of doing business before he made the
agreement and, in fact, would be
afraid to do so, for he is certain that
his present business would never
have grown to its proportions if he
had continued along the old lines
Mr.. Roberts holds that the Lord
needs not only preachers and mis-
sionaries to help him carry out his
work, but that he needs practical
business men as we'll.
Il take an invoice the first of
each year." said Mr.. Roberts, and
balance accounts with the Lord,

GOVERNOR PAROLES WOMAN And MAN
ANNA VAUGHAN QUARTETTE Oh
CONVICTED MURDERERs FREEDOM
KILLED JARED ENGRAM CHRISTMAS DERAUCH.

Governor Jelks of Alabama has
granted paroles and pardons to
number of prisoners who were con-
fined in the Alabama penitentiary,
among them being two who were
convicted of the same crime, the kill
ing of Jared Engram, a citizen of
Stewart county, in Eufaula, on
Christmas night, seven years ago.
One of these is a woman, a notorious
character who lived in Dawson, and
the other is a man. The woman is
Anna Vaughan and the man is Scion
Moore.
The killing of Engram and the
subsequent trial of four persons who
we're indicted for the offense was
one of much interest throughout this
section at the time. In granting
paroles to Scion Moore and Anna
Vaughan, who were sentenced May
.9. 1901, TO imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for thirty years, Governor
Jelks reviews the trial in eXplana-
ton of his act. He says.
"Solon Moore was charged togeth-
or with one John Brazier, Anna
Vaughan and Gertrude Howard with
the killing of a young man named
Engram on Christmas night, 1899.
The evidence before the jury was
circumstantial There was a denial
that Engram was killed, or indeed
that he was dead, the identity OF
the found body being disputed, as
is set out in the recommendation OF
the board of pardons attached. the
defense. while denying the identity
of the body, held that If the BODY
found was the right one he mad
killed himself, and undertook to pro
duce evidence that Engram mad
threatened a number OF times 10
commit suicide. While there was no
direct or verbal evidence that En-
cram was killed in the house on the
trial of the four convicted parties,
there was on the trial of another
norson indicted in the same case
testimony from a woman of noto-
lions character that the homicide
was committed by the four above
named persons. This woman, one
Maggie Powell afterwards made
affidayit denying the truthfulness OF
her former oath. Maggie Powell,
however. according to unimpeacha-
HE witnesses, was of such a charac-
for that her statements before the
court or out of court were worth abb
solutely nothing.
The singular part of the case,
e the narties were guilty, is the
,,iformitv of their story through six
[-nars they were separated in the
1Tison camps since their conviction.
They have been talked to numerous
limos and by numerous parties, and
oacb of them have always maintained

RUSSIA is LOOKING FOR WAR
Preparations in Progress for Another
Conflict With Japan. Says 1t
Appears Inevitable.

Russia, as we'll as the United
States, expects to be involved in an
other war with Japan, which has
never stopped preparing for hostili-
ties since the peace of Portsmouth.
Japan has now more troops, more
ships, more guns and more forts
than in 1905, and her railroads have
also been extended for strategic pur-
poses.
Russian agents in Japan report
that a conflict appears inevitable, ow-
ing to Japan's desire to add to the
fruits of her victory.
A high Russian official in Berlin
says: THE japanese believe they
have not had their moneys worth,
and think they ought to have the
whole of Saghalien, and the Amur
region, and a heavy indemnity"
They believe that Russia would
be easily overcome, but Russia is
preparing to meet the danger. Her
budget is balance and her securities
have improved. When the Duma
meets loan of 100000 will
be contracted to be spent on the ar
my and railroads. The program for
the renewal of the fleet will be post
poned, except as regards torpedo
boats for coast defense"
Meanwhile Japan has spent Rus
sias contribution of $84,000,000 for
the support of Russian prisoners in
japan on munitions of war from
EnUIand and GERMANY

His death was shocking. He arose
IN the morning to go to his work.
and after smoking a cigarette com

landlady wanted to send for a doc

fix him. 1t did. He fell on the bed

During the past two months he

if indeed they could have been con-
nected with any homicide at all
There was tremendous demand and
has been for the same treatment for
Moore and Anna Vaughan, but the
sentiment has not been so unani-
nous, the last two being considered
much more amenable than the form
er.
IF one is disposed to believe that
the disputed body found was that
of Engram; that he was killed at a
certain house on Christmas night of
1899 and by the four parties who
have suffered punishment, and if one
is further disposed to believe the
consistent statements of the widely
ments made through six years, all
to the effect that they knew nothing
of the killing, he at least can very
reasonably assuage from the evil
dence that the killing was not pre-
meditated, but the result of a drunk
en- row. In such case it would seem
that Moore and Vaughan have suf-
fered sufficiently. The warden who
has had Moore in charge for the last
several years speaks in the highest
terms of his conduct, saying that
he has been as truthful and trust
worthy a person as he has had to
deal with.
Anna Vaughan is now an old wo-
man. She was convicted in 1901 of
the murder of Mr.. Jared Engram
She was jointly indicted with John
Brazier and Gertrude Howard, who
were parOled two years ago, and So
Ion Moore. She could hardly have
been more guilty under the evidence
than the other three parties named.
She is broken in health, has tuber-
culosis, and the physicians say to
keep her in confinement would short
en- her life"
The two prisoners were paroled
subject to their future law-abiding
conduct.
