BIRDSONG GIVEN
LIFE SENTENCE
WILL GO TO THE PERITENTIARY F0h
LIFE FOR MURDER OF Or. PITTS
AT HAZELHUhST.

Hazelhurst, Miss, Dec. 15.-
Today at 11:30 DR.. T. B. Bird
song was sentenced to serve the
rest of his life in the State peni-
teatiary for the murder of DIR.
A. B. Pitts last Thursday after
noon in his own Office.
The courtroom was filled with
people who had come to witness
the developments of the case.
DR.. Birdsong was brought in and
was seated a little to the right
of the Judges rostrum. Mrs.
Birdsong, his wife, and his moth
er and his sister-in-law entered
and took seats inside the bar.
After a consultation among
the attorneys lasting for
several hours, the attorneys for
the defense made a proposition
to accept a verdict of guilty with
a life sentence. Then followed
a long consultation among the
friends of DR.. Pitts family and
attorneys for the prosecution.
1t was some time before the con-
sultation was over in regard to
accepting the proposition of the
defense.
The Pitts family finally agreed
to the proposition under condi-
ton that the attorneys sign a
document binding themselves
never to sign a petition of par
don CT use any influence toward
same.
The verdict of the jury at the
close of the trial was: "We, the
jury, find the defendant guilty
as charged, and fix his punish
ment at life in the State peni-
tentiary."
Judge Potter pronounced the
sentence upon the man.
DIR. Birdsong said in answer,
Il have little to say, your honor,
except that | so deeply regret
this affair that, if by giving my
life I could restore the dead doc
tors / would willingly do it
this minute. That's all. E"
DR.. Birdsong will remain here
in jail for a few days before
leaving for the penitentiary.

Rev. 7. w Lewis

Grenada is always interested d
in Rev. T. w. Lewis and family
and will be glad to know that he
has again been signed a station
in this Conference. 1t will be
recalled that Mr.. Lewis has
been the financial agent of Mill
saps College for the past two
years. There were some very
hattering demands for him in
some of the most important sta
tions in the Mississippi Confer
ence but Mr.. Lewis preferred to
remain in his old Conference.
He is man of comprehensive
thought, a popular preacher and
a lovable character.
He goes back to the First
Methodist church at Columbus,
a station at which he rounded
out a four year period about four
years ago. May heaven continue
to smile upon his work and up
on him and his excellent family,
Grenada Sentinel.

CARRIERS CAUGHT.

Constable Abe Lofts, while
taking his Sunday afternoon
drive, had the pleasure last Sun

GAIETY R0LLAWAY
ATTRACTS CROWD
MONDAY Nl6HT WAS A BIG ONE FOR
THE RlRK---THE "6REASED PIG"
GOT CAU6HT.

The Gaiety Rollaway rink was
the scene of the largest crowd,
last Monday night, that this
place of amusement has wit
messed this season.
The attraction was the
Creased Pig, which was caught
by Mr.. Woodfin Gardner.
The next speciality will proba-
bly, be the Steeple Church
race" and a large crowd is ex-
pected to be out this night.
The large crowds that are at
tending this place of amuse-
ment is no doubt greatly due to
the skillful instructor that the
rink management secured at
the opening this season. The
Gaiety Rollaway is indeed fortu-
nate in having the services of
Mr.. H. B. Gist. from Pittsburg.
Penn, as this intructer, for he
has proven to be a fancy and
trick skater. and with his
sleeve full' of many different
features creates quite a deal of
amusement among the crowd.

Mr.. c. M. Barnett.

All that was mortal of this
splendid specimen of manhood
was laid to rest in Friendship
Cemetery, Wednesday morning.
The funeral having occurred
from the Catholic church by
Father Zeorg at 1870 o'clock.
Mr.. Barnett had been a suffer
er for four months, being first
taken sick at Tupelo. He was
carried to Battle Creek and there
received every attention known
to medical science without any
signs of improvement. He ex-
pressed a desire to come home,
having utmost faith in his ply
sician here, consequently he was
brought to Columbus, where he
has had the attention of skilled
physicians and attentive nurses,
but nothing seemed to alleviate
his suffering until death came at
$50 o'clock, Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Barnett was a native of
Kentucky, but as a travelling man
he was favorably known by near
ly every one here. He was ex-
ceedingly popular all over his
territory, and was a man whose
faults, if any, were very few.
The writer regarded him as a
warm friend, and feels deep
personal loss in his death.
Mr.. Barnett was not only pop
ular with his acquaintance but
he was held in high esteem by
the people for whom he worked,
as is evidenced by the fact that
the manager of his house was
with him for several days before
the end came, being present at
the funeral.
The deceased leaves a heart
broken wife, who has the deep
est sympathy of a large circle of
friends throughout this State
and in her old home, Louisville,
KY, and also two sisters, Mrs.
Rebecca Marks, of Bairds. KY,
and Mrs. Lille Shawn, and three
brothers John Barnett of Fore
man, Ark, Jim Barnett, of
Owensboro. KY, and F. V. Bar
nett, of Eureka. Cal.
The following friends acted as
pail bearers: Messrs. Walter
Weaver, Joseph Donoghue, Ru-
pert Richards, w. B. Harring-
ton, John T. Woods and NJ. A.

Marrying Mary.

AIIlOuS Tile I1OIlQdy NlSIIOIS "
the city will be Mary Montgom-
cry, the much married young
lady in the whirlwind musical
comedy 'Marring Mary
Miss Florence Gear, who plays
the part of Mary Montgomery,
will be accompanied by twenty
other young ladies who will as
sist her in showing how easy it
is to marry.
Marrying Mary" the musi-
cal play in which Florence Gear
and a large singing company
will be seen at the Columbus
theatre on December 26th. is the
latest presentation of the divorce
question. Mary Montgomery,
the heroine, three times married
and divorced, is still in the mar
ket, a charming, entertaining
young woman, as vivacious, CO.
quettish, jaunty as a May yep
hyr. She encounters Ormsby
Kulpepper, vice president of the
Anti-Divorce League, and as
sists him in the passage of his
bill through Congress by using
her powers of fascination over
one of her ex-husbands, Senator
Bunchgrass, of Utah, for the
purpose. That the majority of
the characters have views upon
the subject is seen by the speech
of the Rev. Thorley Throckmor-
ton, in charge of the most fash
ionable parish in Newport.
Ormsby, who is arguing for his
anti-divoree bill with Throck-
morton, says: Wouldn't it be
better to discourage all mar
riages for time until you can
find out who is married to whom?
Take your own parish in New
port for example. Yes, I"
answers Throckmorton, every
summer one is confronted with a
new Observation-Disclosures.
TIE same facas out in new re-
lations. Just as one becomes
accustomed to ones parishioner
as Mrs. Smith, she has become
Mrs. Jones. It's confusing!
Play Better Than Book.
The dramatization of "The
Traitor" by Charming Pollock
and Thomas Dixon, Jr., is an
other illustration of the fact that
ofttimes a play is much stronger
than the book upon which it is
based. Although Mr.. Dixon's
latest novel has been widely read
and greatly enjoyed it will be
far more popular in its dramatic
setting. While the characters
are the same the dramatic fea-
lures have been natut ally accen-
tuated and elaborated and many
new and stirring ideas have
been added to the story. This
dramatic sequel to The Clans
man" is said to be a far greater
play than its widely-discussed
predecessor. The Traitor"
will be the attraction at the Co
lumbus theatre, Dec. "A.

EIGHT CLUBS
ARE POSSIBLE
NATCHEz MAY SECURE FRANCHISE IN
COTTON STATES LEAGUE THIS SEASON.

Names likely to be presented for
Cotton States presidency are d.
s, Compton and Frank eastman,
Of Vicksburg, P. S. Merrill of
Jackson and John H. O'Neil of
Meridian. Mr.. Compton served
two terms as league president
and gave satisfaction. Mr.. Cash
man was league secretary, and
10 man in the State is more
thoroughly acquainted with the
great national game. Mr.. Mer-
rill is president of the Capital
City Baseball Association, and
while in no sense an aspirant, it
is believed that he could be in
duced to accept Iifc honor If
rendered. Mr.. O'Neil is presi-
dent of the Meridian association,
and has been connected with the
league organization ever since
Meridian was added to the cir
cult. Either of the four gentle
men named would make d good
president.
Despite the spirit of pessim-
ism occasionally expressed, the
situation around the circuit is by
no means discouraginq. 1t is
true that none of the local asso-
Citations have engaged their man.
ayers for next year, or given
other indications of intention to
get in the game, but these mat
ters will doubtless be looked after
at the proper time.
AS the date for the league
meeting approaches there have
been no developments to justify
the belief that the circuit will be
enlarged to eight teams. Hat
tiesburg is not in a position to
ask for franchise on account of
the fact that it is impossible to
secure a suitable location for a
baseball park. Selma. Ala, is
out of the question on account of
inaccessibility. Monroe. La, may
make a fight to retain her fran
chise, but the directors will
doubtless declare a forfeit and
award the franchise of Monroe
to Natchez, thus giving the
league a more compact forma-
ton.
Meridian and Vicksburg are
both up against the question of
securing new parks, but the To-
cal associations have sites in
prospect and have received as
.surances that the grounds can be
obtained on reasonable terms.
Jackson will retain her present
park location in the rear of the
old statehouse. No change will
be necessary at Columbus, and
the schedule for Gulfport will
provide for an equal division of
games with Biloxi, the franchise
now being jointly owned by
those two towns.
In event Natchez secures a
franchise the question of playing
Sunday ball in that city will not
come before the league directors,
but will be left with the citizens
of that place to decide. If Sun
day ball is decided upon the
board of directors will, at the
spring meetings direct that the
schedule be arranged with this
end in view. Vicksburg will
doubtless continue Sunday ball,
although there is a growing SEN
timent in that city against it.
