For the Earthquake Suffers

The greatest disaster of moder
Times has befallen southern Italy
and Sicily. The world is draped
In mourning. Two hundred thous.
and souls have been swept into
eternity without a moment 3
warning. Two millions of HUI
man beings are left totally bereft
OF every earthly possession. Earth
quake, fire and tidal waves have
swept the country, leaving moth
ing but death and destruction
In their wake. The scenes are ap-
palllng. The conditions are indie
Scrlbable. Famine and disease
add to the horrors produced by
the earthquake. The whole worlt
Is called upon for help. Ten cents
will keep one person alive for
one day.
As a section of the great state
OF Kansas we have been and are
now signally blessed and favor
ed with goodhealth, good seas
ons, good crops, and good com
mercial conditions. We owe a big
debt to. the suffering and dying
on the other side of the world.
Had we been living in Messina,
or Reggie, the catastrophe woult
have been ours.
Let us help them. Let us help
them quickly. Let us help them
literally. Let us help them &C.
to the measure of our |
ability to help.

Baskins, the negro who murdered
Rev. w. T. Hudson, pastor of
the Baptist church here, Satur-
day, was taken from Jail this
afternoon and hanged to a null
berry tree at 2:26 O'Clock. a
crowd of 500 or more people,
whites and blacks. witnessing
the lynching. 1t was a quiet and
orderly affair, not a shot being
fired and only one man objecting.
Deputy Sheriff Wilkerson, who
was overpowered and his two
pistols taken from him, after
which he stood by and looked
on at the neatness with which
the murderer was dispatched.
During the afternoon practically
everybody in town, men and wo-
men and children, visited the
scene Of the lynching and viewed
the dangling body.
1t took a subterfuge to get pos
session of the negro. While all
were Of one mind with regard to
the lynching-that it ought to
take place none wanted to
storm the jail to secure the
prisoner. After counseling
among themselves for awhile a
plan was agreed upon. Deputy
Sheriff Wilkerson was sent away
on an errand, some of his init
mate friends informing him that
his services were needed in an
other part of town to stop dis
turbance. City Marshal J. w.
Pratt was dispatched to the NJ.

scent. This got all of the peace
officers out of town except the
jailor, who the crowd overpow-
ed and took their prisoner away
with the above result.

And, whea the Angel comes
again with great wakening
light" to write the names of
those who loved their fellow
men" and whom love of God
had blessed" " his name like Ben
Adhenis; may lead all the rest.
He lowered among us like
some majestic cedar of Lebanon
that had shouldered up through
the mist and clouds of earth to
bathe its silvery crown in the
ef'ulgent radiance of Gods eter-
nal sunlight.
He was by heredity, education
and racial alignment a Hebrew
Of the Hebrews and could not
accept the Christ as the Great
High Priest after the order Of
Melchizedek, the promised Mes
siah, but he was Christ-like in
that he was without guile"
and went about doing good. "
If 'ye shall know them by
their fruits, " if the chief end Of
man is to glorify God do His
commandments, if to visit the
widow and the orphan in their
affliction is true religion and un-
drfiled before God, if the poor
in spirit, they that mourn, the
meek, they which do hunger and
thirst after righteousness, the
merciful, the pure in heart and
the peacemaker are blessed, who
but a fanatical bigot, will doubt
that our beloved Brother is heir
to all the beatitudes and that
guided by the transcendent
light of Shekinah, his spirit has
winged It's flight through the
Golden Gate into the Holiest Of
Holes, and now rests with the
Saints in Abraham 5 bosom.

MISSISSIPPI BEAUTY
CONGRESS AT MOBILE
CARNIVAL TO Be IN MOBILE FEBRUARY
2I--23.---6REAT SPECIALITIES FOR
MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA BEAUTIES
CONTEST CLOSES THE 18th

Hospitable old Mobile proposes
an addition to it's Ma~di Gras
Festival this year that is proving
of more wide spread interest
than any similar event hereto
fore proposed by the quaint old
Mother of Mystics. "
The Congress of Beauty, in
which the leading cities and
towns of Alabama and Missis-
sippi have been invited to parti-
cipate, is most unique in its con-
ception and word comes from
Mobile to the effect that the
affair will be on a most gorgeous
scale. AS there is nothing that
can interest the public more than
a beautiful woman, it is not to
be wondered at that all of the
towns which are to select
Queens are on the quivive as to
the outcome of the contest for
selection of their Beauty Queen,
In a number of instances these
Queens are being selected by
popular vote and where this
method has been employed, the
voting is very lively, one Missis-
sippi town having already cast
upwards of fifty thousand votes
in the contest.
The Mobile Carnival Associa-
ton propose to pay the railroad
fare for the round trip and 10 en-
tertain the several Queens at the
leading hotels of this city during
the Carnival. The Committee
having the natter in charge has
planned elaborate entertainments
for these visiting Queens, in
cluding receptions, automobile
parades, dances, a banquet and
a final Coronation Ball, when the
real Queen of Beauty will be
chosen from among the various
contestants by a committee of
artists who will be non-residents
of the states competing. This
Coronation Ball and crowning of
the Queen of Beauty will not in
terfere with the usual crowning
of the Carnival Queen which has
always been one of the leading
social events of the city, indeed,
all of the features Of this years
Carnival are to surpass in bril-
liancy those of prior attempts.
The electrical illuminations, the
arrival of the Emperor. the Civ
ic and Military Parade in his
honor, the public recognition of
the Queen and the presentation
of the keys of the City to the
Emperor, the gorgeous parades
OF the Mystic Socities, the Coro-
nation Of the Queen, the band
concerts and the presence in
Mobile Of the u. S. Torpedo
Boat, Flodlla, viii furnish events
of unusual interest to the thous-
ands OF visitors who will attend
from the two states.
This city viii send a partici-
pant and with her Court and
Chaperone many people are ex-
pected to attend the festival on
Feb. 21-22-23.

LAWYERS BEGIN ARGUMtn.
IN SMITH TRIAL TODAY
Case of C. R. Smith Drawing TO Close Specialists Claim
that Smith is Suffering With PaanOIa.
EXTRA DAiLIFFS ARE KEPT ON DUTY.

Miss Emily Connell, of May
hew, teacher in the Barrow
Memorial school was the
first to take the stand Tuesday
morning when court opened at
$50 o'clock. The witness stated
that she first noticed indiffer-
ence of her uncle, Charles r
Smith. for six or eight months
past. She mentioned several
peculiarlities which she had
noticed in Mr.. Smith. She told
of a visit he and his daughter,
Miss Estelle, made to her home
a few years ago, and how he OBJ
jected to her seeing young men.
No questions were asked by the
state.
The next witness was Mrs.
Dupree, sister of the defendant.
She was asked by the defense
whether she had noticed, and at
what time, a change in her
brother. c. r. Smith? She an
swered: Il have noticed a great
change in Mr.. Smith, it was
about three years ago. l met
him in Artesia last December
the 28th, and when / passed him
he seemed not to even notice
me. :"
Mr.. Bon billiard, a travelling
salesman, next testified that he
had noticed a change in Mr..
Smiths actions, one time being
on Jan. 14th when he met HIM
at the depot in Artesia, and
that he was asked by Smith
three different times the same
question. and he answered each
time.
The state questioning the wit
n ess in regard to the above time,
he was dismissed.
Mr. Bob Mitchell, justice of
the peace in Artesia, was next
to testify. Mr.. Mitchell said:
4 saw Mr.. Smith about thirty
feet from the depot after Mr..
Laurent bad been shot, and
asked him what was the matter.
and he said: "Hel e l am, have
shot man through family af-
fair. " And he told me to go and
see if Laurent was dead. He
also asked me to go with him to
a phone, which / did, and he
talked to Mr.. Landrum, who was
in West Point, and to his daugh-
ter, who was in this city"
The state then questioned Mr..
Mitchell in regard to the bond
which was given Mr.. Smith at
the first preliminary and of Mr..
Smiths insanity at that time.
Mr.. w. L. Ellis, who lives in
South Columbus, was the next
witness called and told of an in
stance where he knew of an idiot
in the McGee family, who was a
brother of Charles r. Smiths
mother.
Mr.. J S. Styles, first cousin of
Mr.. c. R. Smith, revealed sew
eral instances that he knew of
in regard to insanity in the
Smith and McGee families.
Judge Newman Cayce, who
had represented Smith in law
professions, told the jury that
he had noticed something out of
the ordinary with the defendant
for six or eight months, and for
the past few months he had no
ticed him being nervous and
restless at times when he would
visit his office.
Mr.. w. L. Smith, of Penn,
formerly an overseer on Smiths
farm, said that he did not re-
member of ever having an un-
pleasant word with Mr.. Smith,
not even the time the trouble
