NEGRO WOMEN
 HELD FOR MURDER

Meridian, Miss, November 1.-(Spe- cial. .)-M. l.. Atwood, a white man, was
 killed this morning during a fight with two negro women, Liza Henderson and
 Julia Woodward, who live just to the
 rear of Atwoods store on Thirty-ninth
 avenue and Sixteenth street. The shoot
 ing occurred about 10 o'clock this
 morning and Atwood's death was all
 most instantaneous.
 Both negro women were placed under
 arrest and at noon today were confined
 in the city jail. The Henderson woman
 has a bullet wound in her right arm
 and a deep cut over the right eye,
 where she was struck in the face with
 the pistol. The trouble was the result
 of Atwood's efforts to collect a groce~y
 bill from Julia Woodward, who was in
 her yard when the collector arrived
 The woman became very insolent and
 Atwood went home and secured his pfs- tol. Returning to the negro's house he found the woman in company with her mother catching chickens in the yard. He demanded the fowls in pay ment of the debt and being refused, it is said, he struck the Woodward wom- an over the cad with a pop bottle. Both women then attacked the man and a fierce fight ensued. The younger of the two women struck the collec- tor terrific blow upon the head with a brick which felled him, his pistol go- ing off as he fell. The ball passed through his abdomen, killing him in- stantly.
 Hearing the shot, Red Ballard, a clerk in Atwood's store, rushed to the scene of the killing and held the wom.
 en until the police arrived.
 No inquest was held and the dead man was removed to his home on
 Eighth street. The negro woman, Julia Woodward, when seen at the Jail, was very nervous over the affair, and con- fessed that she believed the blow she dealt the man with brick had caused his death. Atwood is man
 more than 50 years of age and was born and reared in Meridian.

cial work being done under her super vision No one was more interested than she in the subsequent and more complete development of drawing and the manual arts,'' continued Miss Smith. And visit ors to the school were always shown ex- hibitions of this department with great pride"
 So this was the commence of your work?" said l." and now for the develop ment.''
 Several years afterwards, of course,, you know, I went to Paris to study and when I returned" said Miss Smith, f'the first friend I had to visit my studio was Miss Mary" her interest still as keen and alert in my work as when I was a pupil at the Powell school. l shall never for get her cheerful greeting as she entered my studio and saw me fully installed at my work. She exclaimed: I knew you would accomplish something" and just think how sweet that was to me--to know that some one had been watching my ca reer and believing in my ultimate success from the very beginning, and waiting faithfully until had accomplished some- thing. So, with this in my heart and mind an incentive always before me for the best within me to become manifest. you can easily imagine how happy has been my work in the painting of this portrait-a work of love of one whom I loved very dearly"
 When the monument to Miss Cabalan,. memory was suggested shortly after her death were you not one of the originators of the idea?' I inquired
 'Of course, my story was only ona of many, else where would the ready re. sponse have been found with the nublic .o erect monument to her memory ?,, said Miss Smith. You know somewhere Macaulay has said that, A country with out monuments is country without his tory'' so while many men of many minds are ousylng themselves making Birming- nam the greatest city of the south, oth- CTS Of us are perpetuating through our monuments, portraits and other lovino tributes the memory of a southern woman to whose lot fell the happy task of dem onstrating the executive possibilities of her sex. One

 heart. "'
 Than which no worthier tribute could be paid,' l suggested.
 Exactly, and so with the city's great friend and teacher, whose heart was as true as her head, and whose charity was as broad as her learning" said Miss Smith. with great affection;" nothing is to be left undone by faithful work CTS who can honor the name of Mary A. Cahalan'-whether it be in the form of a library for the use of the hundreds of our city's children, monument, that he who runs may read. or the portrait in the halls of the school, where daily she performed her duties and which 1t seemed only yesterday she vacated-and beyond and above all. the living expres- sion of loving friends. who cherish and honor her memory
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-11-02

No name has ever been held in more reverence, no influence has ever been felt more wholesome, no life has ever been perpetuated In more hearts within the city of Birmingham than that of Mary A. Cahalan.
 Even since her death her rare attributes of mind, heart and soul have continued to dwell in the community where she was permitted to demonstrate in her love of the beautiful, the good and the true, without pretense or ostentation, all that her heart prompted her to teach to those who came within her jurisdiction, and there will be few if any who will not be interested to know that ere long within the walls of the Powell school, where for many years she reigned su- preme, hers by divine right of leadership. a portrait which has been executed for her family and which her many friends will be accorded the privilege of seeing on next Thursday afternoon at Miss Ed ma Smiths studio
 And what more fitting or more sweet than that this perpetuation of her gentle character should be done by one of her pupils-one among the many hundreds of young women whom Miss Cahalan taught-and to whom the name of Miss Mary" as she was familiarly called, sug- gested all that was womanly and tender and sympathetic and gentle.
 Miss Smith has achieved notable suc- cess in the portrait she has done of Miss Cahalan, and many competent critics have pronounced it the best work she has ever wrought in her artistic career.
 q am glad that my friends are pleased with the portrait of Miss Mary " said Miss Smith, as I chatted with her few days ago, sitting in her attractive little studio, where the softest of lights shed their effulgent rays over the familiar face and form, giving it an almost life-like reality "The opportunity of painting this portrait has been a great pleasure to me, since you know I trace the com mencement of my work to her infu- ence.''
 l,I understand that it was she who par ticularly discovered your talent and whose suggestion was responsible for the development of it later on,'' observed.
 .I cannot tell just how this encourag- ment was first given to me, so often the things most worth while to ourselves are impossible of description, but suffice 1t to say that it was something perma- nent," said Miss Smith.
 Were your first lessons in art with Miss Cahalan?" I asked.
 "Oh, yesH said Miss Smith. my first efforts in drawing were made while in the Powell school. You know drawing in the public schools was always of the greatest interest to Miss Mary" she. in fact, having taken the first definite steps toward making it part of the daily work. At this particular time all the pupils in the school were largely dependent upon her ideas and much of the so-called 'spe-
