z. Church, South, was in the
city Wednesday afternoon and
night, the guest of Mrs. Dabney
Lipscomb. Wednesday evening

and full of enthusiasm for the
cause she advocates. By an
array of facts and figures she
showed the vast achievements

every way gifted and made
many converts to the. Society.
1t can be safely predicted that
the home Society will at once

STEAMER HARD CASH
VISITS COLUMBUS
LARGEST BOAT THAT PLIES TOMBIGBEE
RIVER RETURNS TO MOBILE
WITH CARGO OF FERTILIZER

The Steamer Hard Cash, -
owned by the Birmingham and
Gulf Railway and Navigation
Company and which navigates
the Mobile river, made her first
trip to Columbus Thursday after
noon at two O'CLOCK after a years
absence from this city.
The boat left Mobile last Sunday
morning under the control of
Captain w. H. Gray. Mr.. S. A.
Cosper, Sr, and Mr.. S. P. Gray
acting as pilots; Mr.. Peter Jack
son, first engineer; Mr., Charlie
Ford, second engineer; Mr.. S. A.
Casper. first mate: Charles Mil
Ter, second mate; H k. Hybart,
first clerk; Peyton Bryant and
Mr.. Lavelette, second clerks.
Quick time has been made by
this boat considering the large
number of landings. before
reaching Columbus.
The steamer left Friday morn
ing at eleven O'Clock for Mobile,
ladened with a cargo containing
about one-hundred n d fifty
tons of fertilizer from the Ref
uge Cotton Oil Company, thirty
tons of which will be transferred
to the boats on the Warrior
river. Fifty bales of linters
which go to Philadelphia will be
transferred to the Mallory Line
in Mobile and twenty tons of
Horse feed besides a large
amount of sur dry freight is to
be taken to different stations
the river.
The Hard Cash" is one of
the largest boats that pioughs
the Tombigbee and it is rumored
that it will make ten day trips
down to this city.
The steamer New Haven, an
other well-known, but small
boat, landed in Columbus Friday
afternoon loaded with a cargo of
cotton seed. She left yesterday
about 10 o'clock for points down
the river.

COMMENTS On
RECENT TRIAL
WHERE TIE SO-CALLeD ALMIGHTY
DOLLAR" FAILED OF ITS PROVERBIAL
INFLUENCE.
CREDIT DUE MISS SMITH

1t is quite a delicate task to
write of an affair of widespread
interest where public opinion
claims the right TO divide. For
tunately, for this one occasion.
the writer is not related by blood
or marriage to either of the par-
ties most concerned. He is about
as unselfsh and impartial in the
recital as it is possible for the
average human to be. And yet
he has convictions and County
and State pride. He can't recall
an instance in the past half CEN
tury W h ere the so-called
almighty dollar" failed of its
proverbial influence on the judg-
ment of twelve American citi-
zens. Nor can he now recite
an instance where the plea. and
seeming proof of insanity, failed
to do its deadly work in pervert-
ing the ends Of justice
In the famous trial just passed
due credit is sought to be given
the Judge and Attorneys for
both the defense and prosecu-
ton. The opinion of laymen is
that they did all in reach of legal
learning and judicial manage
ment. Credit is due Miss Estelle
Smith for persistent devotion
to her father. She has given
another proof that the love and
devotion of a true woman ranks
next to that of the divine. The
silver lining on the dark cloud
that has shadowed her life. in
the fate of her father, can be
seen in the fact that the COM
munity, without exception. be-
lieves her an innocent aud pure
woman. While it was in proof
that Mr.. Laurent was uniformly
chaste and decorous in his asso-
citation with ladies, it is also be-
lieved that Miss Smith would
have resented any ungentlemanly
act on his part, had he departed
in the least, from his customary
nOlifapaCc
While the verdict affects many
it brings to some a comfort not
otherwise possible. 1t has won
the admiration of the entire
country. We are all the prouder
of our great County and State.
Twelve average citizens have
broken the record Of the juris-
/ prudence of this country. All
honor to them.
A Citizen.

SMITH. sMoTHERs.

Thursday afternoon, February
Is, DIR. John G. Smith and Mrs.
Annie Smothers, of Bankston,
Ala, were married. There was
a touch of romance about this
conjugal affair. Mrs. Smothers
was on a visit to her sister. Mrs.
b. F. Baker, her cousin, Mrs,
j. Z. Clardy, and other relatives.
The doctor, in company with
Miss Baume Smith, pursued his
coveted one. They had a mutual
agreement and upon his arrival
on the Southern train drove to
the Second Methodist Parsonage,
where in the presence Of friends
and relatives, DR.. NJ. H. Wells
pronounced the solemn words
that plighted their faith and
honor the one to the other.
After looking at the sights of
Columbus they hied them to
their Alabama home. Kindly
wishes for a pleasant journey
through life accompanied them.

There is some speculation as

found time to pose for so many
pictures in those times when
cameras We're almost unknown
and the brush and easel took so
much time.
