eIDDLE WON'T TALK.
Present INCUMBENT Has Nothing to
Say.


Say.
Mayor Biddle would have nothing
to say today regarding the recent de-
velopments. He stated that he was
letting the other people do the talk
ing. However, it is evident that the
Biddle supporters are getting some
comfort out of the withdrawal of Mr..
Latta, as many Of them openly assert
that their ticket will be put in with
whoop. They claim that much of the
Latta strength will be thrown to their
ticket, and that they will profit by his
withdrawal. The Biddle forces are
we'll organized and in splendid fight
ing trim. They show capable general
ship. There are many rumors as to
who will be the next city marshal II
Mayor Biddle is elected, also as to
who will succeed Chas Hatcher as
city attorney. The concensus of opin'
ion Is that w. ]. fowler will be APP
pointed city attorney and 1t is ru-
mored that Tom Friel may be named

TIE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

In consequence of the great KIND
ness and generosity accorded the
Kings Daughters at their dinner on
first Monday. the Guided Circle wish
to express their deep appreciation to
all, who aided them in their enter
prise. The work of this circle, since
it's organization has been to care for
the needy and suffering in our com
munity, having always received album
dant material aid from the people in
general. b. donations at Thanksgiving
and also by individual gifts during
the year.
Four years ago Home for lncura-
bles was taken as our state work. 1t
was located at Memphis, because the
circles there raised more money for
it. 1t was for the benefit of this laud-
able institute that we recently gave
the dinner, that was so well patron
lied.
We feel sure that all who aided in
this good work will be gratified to
know that their contribution has gone
to assist the good women who have
charge of the Home in providing for
the incurable sufferers. There are
sixteen patients there, the oldest
woman of II, the youngest a little
cripple girl of years. Five of the
number are there free of charge, the
others have $500 per month paid for
their support by friends and circles.
The Guided Circle has one patient
at the Home for whom an entrance
fee of $4,000 was paid, and five dollars
is sent each month for his support.
The Home stands as monument to
the untiring efforts and devotion to
the causes Of thirtyseven circles OF
the Kings Daughters in Tennessee,
who are endeavoring to aid and COM
fort those lives continuing so little
sunshine.
A touching incident in the expert
ence of the workers in Columbia was
the donation of an incurable herself,
who said she wanted to give all that
she had which amounted to seven
cents, another contributed of her mite
which amounted to four cents.
In four years the Kings Daughters
have bought and equipped this home,
and have paid all except the last note
of one thousand dollars, which is
more than covered by the receipts
from the recent tag day in Nashville.
A bonded issue of sixteen thousand
dollars, made in June, 1908, was paid
in full before June, 1909, which put the
Kings Daughters of Tennessee on rec
ord as good financiers, and also shows
that the work is generously support
ed.
The home containing twenty rooms
is well situated, has a good garden
and orchard, cows and poultry. AS
1t has proved blessing to those who
are living under its roof, so may 1t
be to those Who through their good
ness and generosity have made the
work possible. Especially to those
in our own town we wish to express
our gratitude and thanks for answer
ing our plea, For Christ's Sweet
Sake and Charity"

ROBERT H. GUEST.
Has Served City as Mayor and Long
Been Member of County Court.

Has Served City as Mayor and Long
Been Member of County Court.
Robert Fl. Guest, who now heads the
Law Enforcement ticket, has long
been in the public service, and has
given much of his time to looking
after the welfare OF his constituents.
In 1905 he ran for mayor on an indie
pendent ticket and was elected by an
overwhelming majority Two years
later he again ran for mayor and was
defeated By DR.. Biddle, the vote be-
ing $40 to 100. In this contest the
full vote OF the city was not brought
out. as is evidenced from the present
heavy registration, which is estimated
as about 1000 for the city, and is
in excess of 400 for the Ninth dis
trict. This year there are more negro
voters registered from the Ninth dis
trict than there were votes cast for
either mayoralty candidate in the last
election. Mr.. Guest made a splendid
record while mayor, and is said by
some to have been the best mayor the
city ever had For twelve years he
has been a member of the County
Court, and has always discharged the
duties of the position with ability and
fidelity. He has friends by the hun
dred, and will certainly prove most
formidable candidate. This is the
first time that Mr.. Guest has ever ran
for mayor at the head of full ticket.

TRAGEDY IN GEORGIA
\ WHITE MAN AND NEGRO ARE
 KILLED.
Negro Was Defending His Hosase Against Posse of White Men-- Killed Member or Posse
 Before Being shot

Shellman. Ga, April 10.--The finding of a portion of e white mans skull in a pool of blood in . negro capin here today. and of the body of the negro owner of the cabin. Alfred Ivcrson, behind his bed. has completely mystt- fled the local police oficiais.
 After investigation they learned that posse said to be headed by four white men entered Iverson's cabin last night and shot him. The only theory developed by the police as to the evidence of a white mans death is that Iverson defended his cabin against the posse and shot one of the attacking party. whose body was af- terwards carried away by hts com panions and concealed. No reason for the killing of the negro has been learned.
 The scene of the tragedy Is in the country about five miles from SneIl- man. The negro. Iverson. had been employed on a farm and had quit ms employer. According to the story of Iverson's wife, the men went to the cabin about midnight last night for the purpose of whipping her husband. She was compelled to hold their horse, which was attached to a buggy. while the posse approached the house. and that when Iverson refused to open the door, was was forced and a fight en- sued. A single barrel shot gun with an empty cartridge was found beside Iyerson's body, and 1t Is supposed that be uAed that to shoot the white man. His wife says that after the fight was over at the house, the men. none of whom she knew. put the dead man in the buRRy and drove away.
 The Identity of the dead white man has not yet been learned.

Jemison. April 1e.---tspeciai.) )---The postofiice at this place was robbed some time last night The robbers worked an entrance through the front door of the offiee by boring the lock loose from the outside. They then broke open the door leading from the lobby into the office. The lock on this door being common. knob lock. was easily broken.
 The robbers evidently were well- acquainted with the situation of the ofice and they had either secured the combination of the postoffice safe or else they were expert safe openers, as the safe was opened and robbed with out being broken.
 Marks on the outside of the front door showed that measurement had been marked on the door so that they would know exactly where to bore the holes in the door so as to loosen the lock.
 The blacksmith shop of c. c. Ray was broken open and the tools that the robbers used to effect an entrance to the postoffices was taken from this shop.
 The robbers took nothing only the cash they found. They left all the stamps so far as has been ascertained, scattered over the office. and some of the small change that was in the stamp drawer was left.
 They secured s121.
 Postmaster Collum has wired the ir- spector and he is looked for at once to Investigate the robbery.
