burg, Miss, whose devotion to him
through life has been a song of full
notes, and the husband has been no
less a lover than a great preacher and
teacher of men. Three daughters and
two IONS blessed their welded life, of
whom all survive, except the eldest son,
who contracted in childhood an illness
from which he suffered until young
manhood. The youngest son is DR.. E.
H. Galloway, now city physician of
Jackson, Miss.
As a member of the Mississippi con.
ference Bishop Galloway served a num-
Der of appointments, including Port Glib
son, Yazoo City, Jackson and Vicksburg.
While pastor at the last named place
he was exposed, in 1878, to the great ep-
demic Of yellow fever, which in that year
ravaged the entire Mississippi valley. He
was himself stricken, after weeks Of Wis.
itation among the sick and dying, but he
rallied miraculously to live thirty Won
derful and active years.
In 1882 he was elected editor Of the
New Orleans Christian Advocate, then
a paper of wide and influential circula-
ton. For four years he sat on the tri.
pod, and during these years his fame ex-
tended to every part of the church. When
the general conference of 1886 came on
he was elected bishop by a remarkable
vote, being but 81 years of age, the
youngest man ever elected to hat Of
flee in the Southern church.
Was Foreign Minister.
Bishop Galloway fairly won the dis.
tinction, worn by DR.. Coke, the bishop
Of the church, that of being styled "The
Foreign Minister of Methodism." He
was sent more frequently abroad than
any other bishop of the church, and
served in all these capacities with such
effectiveness and ability as to make him
not only the best known, but also the
most influential personality in Universal
Methodism. In Canada, in England, in
Ireland, in the Orient repeatedly, and in
South America he visited officially as
the bishop and head of the church, and
everywhere left the impression of his
great personality and the memory Of his
Incompatible power as q preacher and
public teacher.
He opened the great ecumenical con.
ference in the City Road Chapel, in Lon.
don, in 1901, with a sermon, the power
and eloquence Of which was achoed to all
lands where Methodism had adherents.
It is still a pulpit classic among the peo-
pie called Methodists.
The great civic and reform move
ments Of his state and the country at
large felt the impulse of his adhesion
and advocacy. He was president of the
Mississippi Prohibition Association, and
the effective system of prohibition laws
now in operation in Mississippi is large
ly the result of his wise advice.
A Distinguished Author.
As an author Bishop Galloway achiev.
ed no little distinction, though it was

celled. As a writer, on varied and time

President Taft Arrives.
Just at ten o'clock Wednesday
morning the booming of a 21-gun sa.
lutte by the Charlotte artillery notified
the people that President Taft had
arrived on his special train. Nearly
all the inhabitants and the thousands
of visitors were at the station, and as
Mr.. and Mrs. Taft alighted from their
car they were greeted with a mighty
roar Of applause. A special recep
ton committee took the distinguished
guests in charge and conducted them
to the Selwyn hotel, where they were
welcomed by Gov. Kitckin, Senators
Simmons and Overman and the mayor
of Charlotte.
After meeting all the committeeman
and their wives, Mr.. and Mrs. Taft, to-
gether with Mrs. Stonewall Jackson,
the governor and mayor and other
distinguished visitors, were escorted
by a guard of old soldiers to a review
ing stand and witnessed a great pa.
rade of all the military and civic or
CARNATIONS that could take part in the
celebration.
Mr.. Taft Speaks Twice.
A second installment of the music
festival in the Auditorium was
graced by the presence Of the city's
guests, and then all returned to
the reviewing stand, where President
Taft delivered an address, His words
were listened to with close attention
and frequently ELECTED loud applause.
|. Later in the afternoon the president
made a speech to the colored people
and the students of Biddle university.
From 8 to $50 in the evening Mr..
and Mrs. Taft held a public re-
ception in the parlors of the Sell
wyn hotel and shook hands with thou.
sands of people.
Military drills, band concerts and
other entertainments were provided
for the crowds all Wednesday after
noon and evening, and the great cele-
bration closed in a blaze Of glory.
Old Controversy Renewed.
The people OF North Carolina, whose
proudest boast has been that their an
cestors were the first Americans to
throw off the yoke of British rule, now
rejoice in the feeling that President
Taft has recognized the justice Of
their claim, but the century.old con-
troversy has broken out afresh. Many
historians refuse to accord to the pho.
neers of Mecklenburg county the
honor that Is thus accorded them.
These historians allude to the story
as the Mecklenburg myth" and
thereby arouse the anger of North
Carolinians.
According to those unbiased investi.

LACK OF EVIDENCE
 IN THE JENSEN CASE THE DEFENDANT WAS ACoUIT-
 TED PROMPTLY. Difference Between Sporadic Liquor Selling and Business of
 Liquor Selling.

The case of J. H. w. Jensen. pro- prietor of the Tivoli garden. charged with selling liquor without license. was tried yesterday in district court and a verdict of acquittal was quick ly returned. The case was pushed by members of the anti-saloon league against the advice of District Attorney Bullard. who discovered that the only direct testimony to a violation of the license law was furnished by single witness who would swear that he had bought two drinks of liquor there one day last June.
 The lscense of the defendant had been revoked more than a year ago and he testified yesterday and proved bv witnesses that he had disposed of to them. all of the liquor hei had on hand though it was shown that he had bought liquor at the same places at a higher price. But that the defend- ant testified was for his own use. All the liquor he said, used at his resort was brought there by the people using it.
 IL was shown in the course of the trial that about midnight. many auto mobiles and cabs carrying merry car goes had been going from Phoenix to the garden and the defendant was asked what attractions he had there

 The ducks by this time were just overhead. Cassou straddled a branch and without so much as giving sin gle pittying glance at Driscoll, gur- gling in the waters beneath. opened fire.

 When all that was left of the flock of ducks had flown away. Cassou climbed out of the tree and moored Driscoll to a landing place. It is said that George Driscollfs language as he emerged from the Icy water was as picturesque as a Turner sunset.

' that would. invite these crowds. He replied that he was engaged in poul- | try raising and that there was much shade of which picnic parties availed themselves
 In the argument, District Attorney Bullard made this statement a point of attack in his allusion to the picnic parties which at midnight sat amid the umbrageous surroundings. sheltered from the fierce rays of the moon. awaiting the growing of that proud bird of warning. the Oprington rooster, and the clucking of the little red hen.
 This was sarcasm. but it was not evidence.
 Other witnesses testified that they had often visited the gardens and took their drinks with them. and various cab drivers said that they had visited the gardens frequently in professional capacity but none of them had ever seen any drinks sold there; their fare always had enough with them to quench an ordinary thirst.
 So. the only evidence that had a direct bearing on the case WAS that of the prosecuting witness, who testified
  with lady" he had visited the gar den and bought two drinks.
 In his instructions. Judge Kent re- minded the jury that the defendant was not on trial for running disorderly house: he was not on trial for selling liquor without license. but that he was being tried on the charge of hav- ing engaged in the business of selling liquor without a license.
 The fact that he had sold one drink or two drinks did not establish the fact that he vas in the business of liquor selling. There were other ways in which that might be established; it might be done without positive testi- mOny- that he had ever sold drink The question before the jury was whether the evidence that had been submitted was to show that such a business as had been alleged was be- ing conducted by the defendant.
 The jury was also advised that since

Governor R. F.. sloan and party of Phoenix Nimrods returned yester- day afternoon. after two days duck hunting outing on the Florence reser- voir. There were more than 200 birds in the game bag they brought back with them
 Those who were in the party with the governor were Joe Cassou, w. l.. Pinney. George Driscoll. r. A. Thar aldson, C. O. RuclIer and R. A. Kirk They left the city Saturday night and had two full days sport. beside little additional shooting yesterday morning before their return.
 Many of the ducks were brought down by Governor Sloan. He proved himself an expert shot. as well as a most agreeable companion. on a hunt ing expedition. With a single excep- tion, there were no accidents. though the governor wore the skin from his knuckles on account of the heavy re- coil of his gun. The exception Oc- cured Sunday. just after the party started out on the lake for the first days sport. Four boats were ob- tained and the men were soon rowing about. looking for shady hooks from  which to shoot. In one boat were George Driscoll and Joe Cassou They rowed craftily along the banks. which were lined with mesquite trees Other members of the party were on the other side Of the lake.
 Cassou and Driscoll got snugly be- heath the branches of an overhanging tree and in this secluded and shel- tered spot waited for the ducks. For d few minutes they smoked their pipes in silence. Then the first birds they had seen came in a flock. circu- lating overhead. The branches of the tree were in the way and Cassou stood up to get a better shot Inadvertently. so he declares, he stepped on the side of the boat.

be done between the state line and the
Dixie quarry, and that the cost OF
Transporting material from the site
donated at Waitsburg would be far
more expensive to the taxpayer in the
long run than buying or Teasing ,n
Dickson tract near Dixie.
Appear Before Commissioners
A committee of some 20 men. MEM
bers of the Walla Walla Commercial
club and representing the commercial
interests, of. the county waited on the
board of county commissioners this
afternoon in regard to the purchasing
Of the rock quarry at Dixie. After an
hour and a half of deliberate discus
sion. the commissioners would give no
direct answer saying that they would
delay their answer until tomorrow
The proposition Of the committee
from the Commercial club is that the
state geologist has recommended the
rock quarry at Dixie as one worthy
of state support, and the state has
made the proposition that if the county
will purchase the quarry the state will
furnish the convict labor for the build
ing of macadam roads throughout
Walla Walla county. The building of
such roads is one of the ways in which
the property Of the county may be
able
TIE cost of the Dixie quarry is $3027
such a quarry should be established
at Dixie the saving in freight rates
would more than pay the cost price
by the building Of only ten miles
road. The commissioners were not in
favor of the proposition on account of
the fact that they believe that it was
mt the wish of the majority of the tax
payers that such a purchase should be
made
The lease which the county holds on
the land will expire on the 9Th of this
and if the county does not offer
to buy the land by that time all
chances of ever being able to estab-
lish a convict camp for the purpose of
building county roads will have passed |
away
