WILL ENFORCE
ANTI-HOG LAW
THE CITY AUTHORITIES ARE DE"
TERMINED TO KEEP PoRkERS
OFF THE STREET.
New Plan Will Be Tried And
Loose Swine VIII Prove
Expensive.

The city officers are going 70 put
stop to hogs running at large on the
streets and the owners of these wan
behring's hogs had best take warning
1t is not only violation of the city
law. but of the state law as well to
allow hogs to run at large, and viola
tors can be taken on either city
or a state warrant or both. Hereto
fore the city officers have attempted
to simply empound stray hogs, and
when the owners of the hogs ap"
peared, they were simply assessed
with the pound fees. 1t Is difficult
matter to drive hogs, as any one who
has tried it will testify and the small
pound fee did not make it worth while
for a man to run himself to death II
catch long-legged, stubborn shoat-
In addition the fee was so small that
the hog owner did not mind paying
1t on the rare occasion when hog
was caught.
From now on a new plan will be
followed. Instead Of empounding the
hogs, the owners will be arrested and
fined. The first case came up Tues
day when Ed Hawkins, coiored, was
arrested on the charge. Ed was fined
$s.75 and paid down the money. The
officers will make thorough search
Of the town now and wherever stray
hog is found the owner will be ascer-
tanned and arrested.

WOMAN'S HEAD
FOUND IN BOX
REMAINS or BETTE MARTIN
CAUSES EXCITEMENT ON
EMBARGO STREET.
WAS BURIED NEAR THE SURFACE
Dogs Dug Up Alleged Evidence
of Foul PIay.-End Of
Inquest

Much excitment was aroused on
Embargo street Tuesday when
the head Of a negro woman was
found in a topless box, resting in a
shallow hole in a vacant lot near the
side walk, just back of Mrs. fuckers
stable. A crowd gathered quickly
and an investigation proved that the
head was that of Bette Martin, which
was cut off the body by County Health
officer Dr. ]. L. VOORHEES,, at the
grave on Bear Greek. 1t will be re-
membered that jury of inquest went
out last week to examine the body
and see If the woman came to her
death through foul play, her husband
being in jail at the time charged with
her murder. Dr. Voorhies was given
permission by the woman's brother to
cut the head of and bring 1t to town
for expert examination. 1t was I'M
derstood at the time that after the
examination the head should be re-
turned and re-interred with the body.
The colored undertaken, Andrew
Morton. was employed to exhume the
body. and after the head was cut on
he re-interred the body, and was paid
by the county for this service. II
appears that after the examination
DR.. VOORHEES, gave Morton the head to
RENTER. When the head was found
this morning, Morton was placed UNI
der arrest, 1t developed that the
head had been buried only few inch
es under the ground and had been dug
up by dogs and the top of the box
torn off. Morton told the officers that
the box containing the head was sit
ting in the back room Of his undertake
ing establishment and that Albert
Davis, colored, who works for him,
finding the box, carried it out and
buried 1t in the vacant lot
Morton told a Herald reporter THIS
afternoon that the head had never
been given to him and that ne knew
nothing about it. That DR.. VOORHEES,
gave the head to Albert Davis and
Davis took it and buried it where
found. He stated at the time that
the head has since been taken to Bear
creek and re-lnterred.
Ii is the concensus of public opin-
ion that 1t is time this woman's head
was being given rest.

REAR ADMIRALS
MUST EXPLAIN
CALLED ON TO TELL WHETHER
THEY CRITICISED THE NAVY
DEPARTMENT.
Probably Not Be Given Over
Ten Days to Respond to
Order. :

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The navy
department has asked Rear Admirals
Bowman H. MacCalla and George
Melville (retired) whether they were
reported correctly in interview In
which they severely criticised Secre-
tary Metcalf and the management OF
the naval bureaus. The policy OF the
department in the cases Of Melville
and McCalla is well defined. They
will not be required to answer for
probably ten days, as the reply Of Ad-
miral McCalla has gone by mall.
Pending their answers it is expected
that the report OF Rear Admirals
Converse and Caps, which was or
dered by the President to ascertain
the truth or falsity of the Reuterdahl
charges. will have been handed to the
President.
n the findings of Converse and
Camps should be refutation OF the
charges Of Reuterdahl and all the
other officers, and Of all who have re-
peated them, it is patent there Will
be a sensational shake-up in the
navy bureaus. If, on the other hand.
the allegations of Reuterdahl should
be shown to have reasonable basis,
the government for the present at
least, would cease its inquiries as to
Melville and McCalla.
The Melville and McCalla cases
will. Of course, be closed at once II
they repudiate their alleged inter
views as effectively as Rear Admiral
Goodrich, who was also recently quot
ed in severe criticism of the navy.

LESSON FOR THE YOUNG men

In MS magu1uc6uI ou1OBy W uAOVotb
e. Lee, at the First Methodist church.
Sunday, DR. T. A. Wharton said in
part:
1T was man not born under our
southern skies who said Of Gen. Lee:
He was the most perfect man have
ever met. General Lord Wolseley Is
a name known wherever the English
tongue is spoken AS the head of the
English army for long years and
military critic and essayist, his judg-
ment of men and things commands
the attention Of the whole world. He
sums up his judgment of Gen. Lee In
these careful words: His clear,
sound Judgment, his personal courage
his genius for war, his absolute de-
votion to his state, marks him out as
a man to be remembered forever by
all Americans His amiability OF dis
position. his sympathy for all in sur
fering or pain, his love Of children,
his nice sense of honor, his genial
courtesy. endeared him TO all who ever
met him. Never shall ! forget his
sweet winning smile, his clear, honest
eyes, that seemed to look into your
heart while they searched your brain.
have met all the great men Of my
time. but Lee alone impressed me
that was in the presence OF man
cast in a grander mould and made OF
finer and irmer metal than all other
men, He Is stamped upon my memory
as man apart from and superior to all
other men, and with whom none whom
have ever met and few Of whom
have ever read are worthy even to be
classed.'
Gentlemen, this is not the word OF
a momentary enthusiasm, nor the love
blinded prejudice of war comrade.
You have listened to the calm, delib-
crate verdict Of history speaking her
latest word.
For nearly half century this man
we love has been under dercer
light than that which beats upon
throne. The thoughtful world has
been searching through every incident
of his life, they have analysed every
motive of his heart, his every public
and private utterance and even his
most intimate correspondence, ana
the man does not breathe who dares
to say that one single thing has been
found In him that even hints OF dis
honor.
Eyes. there is one thing and one
thing only. There are still here ana
there those In disreputable isolation
who say that Lee was traitor to his
fiag-that he was false to his soldiers
oath of loyalty to the nation.
Against this infamous charge no
southern man has any need to hurl
his challenge. A generous foe STANDS
ready to give such venomous lg-
noramus all the afternoon he needs.
AT this point, DR., Wharton quoted
numerous authorities of New England
origin to prove that modern scholars
ana students of history, even those OF
altogether union bias, now admitted
that the weight of the argument nad
turned to the Confederate side. Con-
