DEATH OF MRS. OULD.
Funeral Will Take Place From
Brothers Home.

The large circle of friends of Mrs. Jesse
Bright Ould will be shocked to learn of
her sudden death on Saturday evening at
Roam Mountain. Tenn.
Mrs. Ould was Miss Sue Britton. daugh-
ter of the late Col. A. r. Britton. and was
greatly beloved here in this city. where
her life was spent until her marriage. She
had a host of friends because of her heau-
tiful character and bright and sunny dis
position. Three years ago she was mar
ried to Mr.. Jesse Bright Ould, son of the
late Judge Ould OF Richmond. Va. and
since that time has lived in Tennessee.
Although not in her usual health for sew
eral months past, no thought of any
serious trouble was entertained until
within the last few days, when the end
came quickly.
Her husband and her sister. Mrs. W. a.
Gait. were with her at her death. and ac-
companied the remains to this city.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of
Mr.. Alexander Britton, 1896 S street. a
brother of the deceased. The service will
be conducted by Rev. Herbert Scott
Smith of st. Margaret's Church. of which
parish the deceased was formerly MEM
ber The interment will be at Oak Hill,
but will be private.

FIND BODY IN WOODS.
Authorities Think John Denny, Jr.
of Media, Pa, Was Murdered.

MEDIA. Pa. October 26.-The body of
John Denny. jr.. aged twenty-three years.
was found in a wood near Upper Provi-
dence yesterday under conditions which
strongly point to murder. large hole
had been torn in the lower portion of his
face by charge of shot.
Denny started from his home In this
place Friday to go rabbit hunting. Ac-
,companied by another man. he was seen
going toward the woods where his body
was found late Friday afternoon. The
suggestion that he was the victim of an
accident or shot himself is discounted by
the fact that his gun and ammunition
and all of his valuables had been taken.
An old cap and several shattered twigs
were picked up in front of the body.
These bits of wood. the authorities say,
show that the charge of shot came from
some distance and not from Denny's own
gun.
An examination of the wound in Denny s
face seems to indicate that two charges
struck him and that the shot was not of
the size he used. The police have ar
rested three negroes. who admit they
talked with Denny early Friday after
noon. but they declare they know moth
ing of the shooting.

Mr.. Bryan had expected to reach the city
early but through missing train in Jer.

and 1t was damp but intensely enthu.
siastic crowd that greeted the democratic
presidential candidate when he arrived.
Rain was falling heavily but neither
the crowd nor the speaker appeared te
give much attention to that, and after
the cheering had subsided Mr.. Bryan
wrapped in a raincoat and with his
slouch hat pulled down on his brow
launched out on his speech. He urged
those present to vote for William Hughes
the democratic candidate for Congress ir
this district. telling them that when
take my seat in the White House next
March, shall need just such representa-.
tives as Mr.. Hughes to uphold my poll
cies." There could be little real gooC

Ocratic President unless there also should

Mr.. Bryan attacked the policy of the
republican camp aign managers in declin-
ing to publish campaign contributions un-

in favor of the election of United States
senators by the people. denounced the
republican platform as standing 70:

platform as declaration of principles
which means something and which will be
put into practice when he is elected.

Paterson, N. j., in order to keep his WORD
with the people of that city. given las,
Saturday morning. that he would return
and nake them a political speech.
The democratic candidate arose at {
o'clock this morning and thought he
would have ample time to get to Jersey
City and board the Erie train leaving
there at 7:1O o'clock. but in that he was
mistaken
The day promises to be a busy one for
Mr. Bryan. His program provides for ar
address before the Woman's Democratic

and Mount Vernon: a reception and din
ner at the National Democratic Club in

1T has been my pleasure to have
often had the privilege of discuss
ing with President Roosevelt
number of the fundamental ques-
tions of right. justice and moral
and social uplift. Included in
these discussions were the invasions
of personal rights and human lib
erty by the courts in the injunc-
ton abuse. 1t is true that the Pres
ident has not always fully agreed
with my contentious. but he has
never until the publication of his
latest utterance hinted. much less
charged, that anything which | ad-
vocated was lawless. unfeeling des-
potic, brutal. or wicked: and yet
the rights for which the workers
of our country contend. and which.

him during the past several years

on me Is too thinly veiled 10 de-
ceive any one. He strikes over my

passed. the Louisiana led the second line

Joel ChanGter Harris, 1ameu lne
world over as Uncle RemuS, died at
his home in At
Thouohts on lanta July 3. AS
"Jmcle Remus." writer of human
interest it is safe to
say that his works are more read
perhaps than those OF any other
of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. They have been trans
lated into every tongue, and rep
resent as a whole a closer study OF
man than was ever given by any
author of his time. There was
subtle something about Mr.. Harris
that was beyond the knowledge of the
average man. He could get closer
to the heartstrings and play upon the
gamut of human emotions more GER
tainly than any of your modern
writers of romance or history. his
own life represents the human S1de
the tender, loving things of life, and
so he became in a way the subject
of his own creations. In other WORDS
he always studied himself and wrote
of himself His kinShip with human
nature was absolute. He was child
of nature, and from this fact sprang
the inspiration of his famous Uncle
Remus" stories. He was such COM
plete nature-product that when he be-
gan to unfold he was unaware OF the
process that made his naturalness
such a force in the literary as we'll as
the unliterary world. Mr.. Harris never
wrote for fame. He never WoOed the
goddess of renoWn; she made no APP
pealS to him. He went on always be-
ing himself in his works, and could
not even appreciate his own power.
His was the unconscious influence
which he exerted. 1t made him for
ever walking in a halo of his own
creation ''Uncle Remus' was easily
the first of his school of writers among
all those in the world. In fact, it
cannot be said that he represented
any school, except that which he him
self created.
His loss to the world is the greatest
since Dickens He left enough to

Since Dickens. wonder that
one man could
have thought out so much. Ever
since he was born he was writ
ing His prolifcness and YER
satility were remarkable. AS pr1n-
ter's boy in the old "Countryman' Of
flee at Eatonton, Ga, he was all the
while writing. From the first he was
good writer He never did anything
poorly. At Forsyth, on the old Monroe
Advertiser" he was a quality mana
quality writer. TO this day Georgia
never produced his equal He was al
ways a well-spring of good humor,
and went through life creating good
feeling and good fellowship. on the
Savannah Morning News he edited
a State news column which became ia
nous. He was always saying bright
things in it, His ability as pointed
paragraphist soon gave him great
State reputation. Upon the occasion
of the writer's reaching his twenty
first birthday, his father had given
him a party which was commented
upon by the local paper at Griffin.
Harris, seeing this, wrote the follow
ing comment after saying that he
had reached his majority: Strange
that a man to be twenty one must be
twenty, too" This was in his earlier
days, his salad days, so to speak, when
