Daughter Kills Her Father.

Lula Richardson fairfield, daughter
OF John Richardson, of Sumrall, trav-
eled 30 miles across the country from
Sumrall to Puryis to surrender herself
and TO answer for the killing Of her
father, which she claims was done in
order to save her mother and hel self
from bodily harm. 1t seems that Rich
ardson became enraged at his daughter
for having married fairfield, and COM
PEELED her to return TO his roof Then
be proceeded TO a6use the girl and his
wife. He went into Ills yard to get
stick with which to chastise the women.
Upon his return he was met in the door
by his daughter, who had procured the
family shotgun. She warned him not
to come in with the stick, but he con-
tinued to advance. The girl fired, but
aimed at the floor, to frighten him.
Still he came on. This time she fired to
kill. The charge entered the mans
stomach, producing death in a few
hours.

Apropos Of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union, it is quite in.
teresting to note that the organization
will be well represented in the legisla-
ture, as 1t is understood that some fifty
odd members Of the law-making body
are also members of the Farmers
Union. A casual study of the member
ship OF the house Of representatives
shows that more than one-third belong
to the order, while there are good
few in the senate, probably a hall
dozen. This means that the eyes Of the
members Of hundreds of locals in the
organized counties will be kept on their
lsw-making brethren at the capital. and
that every published vote will be closely
scanned. Every loyal member of the
Union declares himself in favor of his
brother in the legislature voting, not
just for the good OF the order" but
for the good of the people of the State,
for which they claim the Farmers
Union stands. They claim, too, that il
radicalism and faddism should be de-
veloped during the session it will not
emanate from the Farmers Union
members who pride themselves on their
feeling of State pride and conservatism.

GOVERNMENT GIVEN POWER
To Punish Persons Guilty of Intim-
idating an Alien.

Washington.-Representative Sher-
ley today introduced a bill so amending
the Federal statutes that the United
States shall have authority to punish
"any person guilty Of conspiracy to
iniure or intimidate an alien. The law
as it stands provides for Federal pun
ishment OF ANY citizen" Of this coun-
try merely.
THUS, said Mr.. Sherley, discussing
the bill, "in the case Of the Mafa in
Louisiana, the United States was called
on by the Italian government for in
demnity on account of Italians slain,
but this government was powerless to
punish the guilty, they being amenable
to state law only. The same circum'
stances obtained in the later auti-Chi'
nese riots on the Pacific coast, Where
the government is responsible to Other
governments for acts Of conspiracy
such as mob violence, the power to pun
ish the guilty should be centrally
vested

WILL DEMAND WNDICATl0N
Admiral Brownson Tells Why He
Quit Navy Service.

Washington. Rear Admiral Brown
son will demand court Of inquiry or
will resign from the navy. This is the
opinion of officers Of the navy in view
of the denuncistious of the late chief of
the bureau Of navigation by the presi-
dent. Admiral Brownson's friends are
Of the opinion that it is only by such a
court or by action taken by congress
that Admiral Rrownson could be vim
dicated,
1t will be recalled that there was such
endless crimination and recrimination
in the case of Rear ADMIRAL Winfield
SCOT srhiey Us the here Of Santiago,
that he was at last induced to accept
the court of inquiry as the proper
method OF right,ng himself and his
record before the public. Admiral
Brownson is charged substantially with
being a disturber OF the peace of the
navy department and disloyalty to his
superior.
These are the grayest possible charges
outside of criminal suggestions and it
would not be surprising if Admiral
Brownson we're to seek yindication as
soon as the official documents have been
issued
While a very large part of the cor
respondence so far given out relates TO
tbe justification Of the president, there
has been no Official statement of Brown
son : side Of the controversy.
