CARTER.


Mr.. ID. T. Carter died on the
train near Hollow Rock, Tenn.

ried grief and desolation to his
dear ones at home east a gloom
over the entire town, for all felt
that in his death Oxford had lost
one OF her most universally es-
teemed and respected citizens.
Coming here a young man, Mr..
Carter had spent the best years
of his life, and by his upright
dealing with his fellow-man. had
achieved not only financial sue
cess but also, the full confidence
OF the people. He had many po-
sitlons Of trust and honor be-
slowed upon him and was faith
ful and true To them all. He ex-
tended the helping hand and kind
advice to al who sought mis- aid.
and many friends in the humble
walks of life will miss him.
There has never been a greater
outpouring OF citizens Of the town
anu surrounding country to hon
or the memory of = departed
friend and neighbor. The fune-
raj services We're held n the resi-
denee on Sunday afternoon at
- O'Clock. 4 devoted wife. 4
little son and daughter, have tn
heartfelt sympathy Of the CON-
munlty in their great bereaye-
ment.

Georgia Negro Gives
Brownsville Facts
Boyd Conyers, of Monroe,
Confesses Shooting.

Washington, Dec. Ia. President
Roosevelt sent a special message to
congress today, covering fully the
Brownsville investigation. 1t was
thru the confession of q Georgia
negro, Boyd Conyers, of Monroe,
that the the main facts were estab
lished.
This message consisted largely of
correspondence bearing on the af-
fair, and the report made by Spec
ial Officer Herbert j. Browne, in
CONJUNCTION with Captain w. G..
Baldwin. In transmitting this cor
respondence to congress the presi-
dent says:
E'This redort enables me to fix
with tolerabl defniteness at least
in the criminals who took the lead
nj the murderous shooting of pri-
vate citizens at Brownsville. 1t
establishes clearly the fact that the
colored soldiers did the shooting;
but upon this point further record
was unnecessary, as the fact that
the colored soldiers did the shoot
ing has already been established
beyond all possibility of doubt.
The investigation has not gone far
enough to enable us to determine
all the facts, and we will proceed
with it; but it has gone far enough
to determine with sufficient accu-

Large Crowds at
The Family Theatre.

The team of Morris and Maddocks
are drawing larger crowds to the

big hit with the patrons of this
popular place of amusement.
All who visit the FamilyTheatre
this week will undoubtedly get
their moneys worth for it is one of
the snappiest shows of the season.
Mr.. Frank Maddocks is an old
favorite here and continues to please
at any performance. Mr.. Morris is
one of the cleverest comedians ever
seen in this city and provokes
much fun with his songs and witty
sayings.
The act by Morris and Naddocks
closes the show and is full of snap
and ginger leaving the audience in
good humOr.
The pictures and Illustrated songs
are the best seen at the Theatre
for sometime and no one should
miss seeing the show this week. 81.

Madri-Gras.

Fitzgerald's most unique show,
the Odd Fellows Mardi Gras, has
passed into history and really
leaves pleasant taste in the
mouth. 1t was modest but vrigi-
nal, clean, interesting and pleasing.
Everybody seems to have been
more than satisfied; promoters,
patrons and the public generally.
The prizes given away to the
patrons consisted of a city lot and
a writing table. Miss Nina Weaver
drew the lot and Mrs. Willifred G.
Lane of Valdosta, drew the writ
ing table.
The competition between the
booths established by the merchants
of the city, was sharp and inter
esting. Three prizes were offered
for the best displays. Simon Bros
| won the first prize. They had
! unique and attractive booth, stock
! ed with toys, movingtrains nd troll
| ly cars. They exercised exception
al taste in the display of dolls and
toys.
The second prize was won by
the Central Meat Market, which
for the four days kept on exhibi.
ton an attractive assortment of
fresh meats and a complete butch
er's outfit, as bright and as clean
as new dollar. Ordinarily a butchers
display is much more difficult than
one of toys and pretty goods and
wares but Mr.. w. V. Church sue
ceeded in not only winning a prize
but winning the applause of hun
| dreds of visitors.
Mr.. L. 0. Tisdel's grocery display
! was awarded the third prize. He
had splendid display of groceries
and served coffee, the celebrated
"Rising Sun" brand.

Away from

Washington, Dec. 14.-Senator

ment to the bill providing for the
re- enlistment of then negro troops
discharged without honor because
ofalleged participation in the ARRAY

new measure to establish a tribunal
consisting of retired army officers,
naming these officers in the bill,
before whom evidence may be sub
lnitted as to the guilt of the defend
ants, and before whom the defend
ants themselves might appear to
answer to charges. The measure
is so drawn es practically to take
out the hands of the executive and
give to tribunal adnointed by
congress full authority to consider
the Brownsville question and by
it's findings, provide for the re en-
listment of the discharged negroes.

HUGHES AS HIS
FRIENDS SEE HIM

The Rev Dr. Howard Russell, the New
New York superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, who, in the closing days
of the campaign, used the great influence
of his position to turn the temperance
vote of that state to the Republican
party, and the hundreds of ministers in
that state who, in spite of the fact that
they had for years professed to be Pro-
hibitionists, went into their pulpits on
the Sunday before election and de-
nounced the Prohibition party on the
strength of DR.. Russell's letters and be-
sought the people to support Hughes
these, and all like them, are respectfully
referred to an editorial which appeared
in the Syracuse Post Standard on Tues
day, October 81 one week before the
election The Post-Stdndard is owned
by Senator White, who was running
with Mr.. Hughes, being the Republican
candidate for lieutenant-governor. The
editorial in question quotes at length Mr..
Hoyt of Auburn, the Prohibition candi-
date for comptroller, who stated very
clearly the objection of the Prohibition
lists to Governor Hughes in that he is
not a total abstainer, has been opposed
to the enforcement of law concerning the
saloon and during his campaign made
personal liberty" speeches. The Post
Standard then says:
Mr.. Hoyt, like other Prohibition

from having a principle and standing
for it. When party of men are will
ing, year after year, to throw away
their votes" it argues the possession
of something that appeals to the pub
lies sense of loyalty. Our history has
been made by men who were willing
to throw away more than their votes
for their principle; our history is
glorihed by the names and deeds of
men who threw away their reputa-
tons, yea, their lives, for principle
and party that seemed to be in a
hopeless minority. Right or wrong, it
is the standfastness, the steadfastness,
that counts. The politicians know
this. And when they can get an in
dorsement of any candidate or any
principle of the older parties they
know that the claws of the independ-
ents have been safely trimmed; that
their influence is gone.
The same paper holds up to scorn the
LEGGED temperance and Christian people
