SIDNEY LANIER'S
BROTHER IS DEAD
HcLIF" LANlER, ONLY BROTHER
Il OF THE GREAT POET, DIES
Bl AT MONTGOMERY.

Clifford Lanier, the brother of the
beloved southern poet, Sidney Lanier,
died at his home in Montgomery, Ala,
Monday evening.
Speaking OF his death the Atlanta
journal Of yesterday says:
News Of Clifford Lanier's death was
received in Atlanta Tuesday morning
ly Mrs. Robert Z. Park, a cousin of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Lanier. and
Of Clifford Lanier. Captain and Mrs
Park were lifelong friends of the
Lanier family during their residence
in Macon.
Fur some time Mrs. Lanier has
been in falling health. Last summer
nc and his wife visited Asbury Park,
N. j., and other resorts, in hopes Of
regaining his strength. On their trip
honeward Mr.. Lanier suffered a re-
lapse. On reaching home, however
he rallied and ten days ago his con-
Gitlon appeared most favorable His
death will come with a shock of grief
to many Georgians and to all who
cherish the name of his poet brother
Funeral services and the interment
will be held In Montgomery. If it is
possible to reach that city in time,
captain and Mrs. Park will attend the
funeral
Clifford and Sidney Lanier were
inseparable comrades throughout the
civil war The poet, indeed, declined
promotion in order that he might not
be separated from his young and only
brother. Like his brother, Clifford La
nier was a man of great literary ac-
quirements and of artistic inclinations.
For a number of years he was super
intendent of the public schools in Au-
gusta. He was about 60 years old at
the time OF his death. He was born
in Macon"

JUDGE PARKER
AF TER LTNCHERS
CHARGED WARE COUNTY JURY
TO INVESTIGATE RECENT
DOUBLE LYNcHINo.

Waycross. Nov. AT the begin
ming of his able charge to the grand
jury today, Judge Parker stated that
he came to court under very adverse
circumstances. He has not been well
lately. to the regret of his many
friends throughout this section of the
state, but said he felt it his duty to
be present and talk to the grand jury
little. He made the usual charge
in reference to the carrying of con-
cealed weapons, saying that this was
nefarious practice and one that
never led to any good.
Judge Parker then took up the reck-
less disposition on the part of so
many in the various sections Of the
country to take life in direct disregard
to the constitution and laws of the
country. He mentioned the night rider
raids in Mississippi, Tennessee. and
other states, and brought the matter
near home by telling of those in
Georgia. MY heart bleeds continu-
ally as look at the conditions as they
prevail all over our land today" said
Judge Parker There is q reign Of
lawlessness over tins country such as
you nor 1 have ever heard Of before.
You can scarcely pick up a newspaper
but what you see mention of some
act of lawlessness. It's anarchy, gem
tlemen. that's what 1t is"
But the saddest thing of all Is that
blot upon this blessed city of ours,
The blacklist page in Waycross his
tory has been written in innocent
blood taken in the shadow of Ware
county's courthouse, some few months
ago. At the time one of the negroes
taken from the officers was not charg-
ed with any serious crime, and it has
developed later that neither of the
two negroes lynched at Waycross was
guilty of the charge brought against
them Isn't 1t time a halt was called?
Isn't It time to sit up and take no
tice? Just as sure as men get their
own consent to take life illegally com
munism will follow in the wake OF such
! anarchy az certain as daylight is fol-
lowed by darkness"

Aged Alderman Dies From Stroke of
 Paralysis.

Meridian, Miss, January 11.-(Special.)- Alderman W. B. Hawkins, age 75, died at his home in Meridian today after a con- finement of week or more as the result of a stroke of paralysis. He had been a member of the Board of Aldermen, repre- senting the Southside. for the past seven years His funeral will be held from the family home tomorrow morning.
 The jury in the case of J. F. Morrell, the man arrested and tried for the alleged embezzlement of $7OO from the local trades council still have the case under deliber- ation with no prospects of verdict to- night The jury has been out 60-odd hours and still Judge Cochran believes that they will yet render verdict The jury seems to be equally as sanguine that they can not agree on a verdict.
 The grand jury brought in 20 indict ments today, making 42 for the week. Strange to say, the grand jury has not yet brought in bills of indictment against Webb and Frank Key, the Kemper county brothers, who shot J. F. Davis, their brother-in-law, to death on the streets of Meridian October 15. It is understood that the jury examined number of the witnesses at the beginning of their sit ting and true bill has been expected every day during the week.

MATTERS

 UneasineSS Exists
TROUBLES ALONG BORDER
British Minister To China Feels Con fident of Satisfactory Solution of the Problems Affecting the
 Stability of China.

Pekin, January 1.-The Chinese gov ernment has been persuaded to sign the projects for the Tien Tsin- Chinlziang and the Che Kiang railroad loan and it is announced they will go through while the agitation in these provinces which has attended the rights recovery move ment, is in temporary abeyance The recent edicts from the throne against agitation have not had a conclusive ef- feet, but they have brought about a change for the better in the tone of the comment appearing in the native press. Certain members of the government are doubtful of the ultimate outcome of the measures adopted by the throne they re- sent some of them and they are not con vinced of the sincerity of the government in extending the oppressive measures to the provinces. There is even talk today among some high officials that in any other country would be considered as pre- saging revolution. China has at present eight questions on her hands aside from her negotiations with Great Britain and Japan. Four of these matters seriously threaten her sovereignty. According to some observers here, the government ap- pears to be growing weaker, but this evidently is due to the fact that her con- tentions with the powers and her inter- national difficulties have come up at one and the same time and she has failed to make use of abilities of Yuan Shi Kia, who complains that his hands are tied and powerless.
 Indo China has repeatedly sent wa inc fD Dal af lap olxr. ing the revolutionary movement on the Tong King border, where the course pursued by the rebels has provoked troops from Tong King, which is French possession, to cross over into the Chinese province of Kwang Si Against this, the foreign board has pro- tested and the French minister here M. Bapst, has replied with adequate as- surances.
 Sir John N. Gordon, the British min ister to China, is today sanguine of sat isfactory solution of the West river diJ- faculties. This trouble arises from tho prevalence of pirates on this waterway, which Great Britain is now patroling with a small fleet of gunboats. Sir John has been particularly hopeful, in- asmuch as the province of Kwan Tung has conceded claim of so, 900 taels for party outrages.
 The course of action followed by Great Britain with regard to Manchuria is expected ultimately to determine whether a power other than the Japa- nese will be permitted to find invest nent in that territory.
 The evacuation of the Chumbi valley, in Tibet, by British troops. is being de- layed, among other things, by the nc cessity of settling the question of whether Tibet will be included in the provisions of the Anglo Chinese treaty concerning Tibetan trade It is hoped that Tibet will be admitted to this agreement and that an understanding to this end shortly will be signed.

TAFT ANSWERS QUESTIONS.
Visit To New York Embraces Confer
 ence on visayan Railway,

New York, January n.-Secretary of War Taft, who came to New York yester- day to deliver an address at Cooper in- stitute last night, spent the forenoon to- day in the downtown business district. He was at the office of his brother, Henry Taft, at 40 Wall street for several hours in conference with interested parties con cerning the Philippine railway situation. Among those who took part in the con- ference were c. M. Swift of Detroit, president of the Visayan Railroad com pany of the Philippine islands; William Solomon of William Solomon x Co.,, and J. G. White of J. G. White & Co., both contracting firms, and Cornelius Wander bilt
 When l1r. Taft came out from the con ference he said to the reporters that the Visayan Railroad company had under taken the construction of a railroad line with the understanding that the gov ernment would issue 4 per cent bonds as a subsidy. The company has completed thus far between 30 and 60 miles of road, and they have received from the govern ment s50O,0 in bonds. The conference, he said had reference to a second issue of the bonds.
 Secretary Taft said his present plans provide for his return to Washington to- night Asked if politics would have any place in these meetings, the secretary replied:
 'Well. at the present time you know it is pretty hard for me to talk with anybody without the conversation drift ing to politics. At the same time. my conversations today will be of such substantial nature, that I hardly think the general public will be interested in their tenor"
 "Mr. Secretary said his interrogator. ''it was reported from Washington that Nthe President has stated that you will receive the nomination for President on the first ballot
 Well" the secretary replied. with a laugh. 'you know President Roosevelt has said nothing that could be believed as coming from him unless his signature is appended to it. If President Roosevelt says thing. it is so; but if he does not say thing, it is not so. So, with regard to the announcement from Washington, you should see that the authorization is appended.

WEST END MAY
 BUILD ICE PLANT
Citizens Plan To Take This Means of Assuring Themselves of
 Adequate Supply.

Several citizens of West End are plan ming the construction of a small ice plant at that place. The plant if built will have capacity of ten tons per day, which 1t is believed will be sufficient to supply the needs of that community.
 Quite good deal of trouble arose last summer between the residents of West End and the ice deliveriers, the residents claiming that the drivers not only gave them short weight but were very in solent. and in many cases refused to sell them ice Owing to the trouble the talk of building small plant, sufficient to supply West End arose and the probabil- ities are that it will be built within a very short while. It will require about sl5,0OO to construct the plant and this will be sold in shares of S100.
 A great deal of difficulty was eXperl- enced by those people who live a block or two away from the car line, which runs out Tuscaloosa avenue, in securing ice. The regular wagons of the com- pany refused to leave Tuscaloosa ave- nue, except in rare instances, and the residents on First, Second Third and Fourth avenues had to depend on make shift peddlers The matter was com plained of bitterly but there was 10 re- lief
 The men who will construct this plant will keep several wagons in West End and the attempt will be made to cover every part of the town.
