MIGRANTS MUST GET BUSY
The Remains of Mrs. J. w. Mallory Are Laid to Rest at Anniston-John B. Knox Wins Prize in the
 Golf Tournament.

Anniston, January 25.-(Special. )-Tired of life, it is said, Miss Willie Graham, an employe of the Robinson cotton mill, and Leo Gilbert, young man well known in the city and elsewhere attempted sui- eide Sunday night, the former by the use of carbolic acid and the latter by swal- lowing an ounce of laudanum. Gilbert almost succeeded in his purpose, but Miss Graham made a failure of her attempt.
 Whether the two attempts were in any manner connected could not be definitely ascertained, though it is said by some that the two were sweethearts and that when it was believed that Miss Graham had accomplished her own destruction Gill bert chose to follow her in death and went to Wilkes drug store and purchased an ounce bottle of laudanum which he swal- lowed.
 Gilbert says the attempt of the girl to end her life had nothing to do with his own act, but that he was simply tired of life because of so much trouble he was having and wanted to put an end to 1t.

ASHLEY'S DEATH IS
 STILL 4 MYSTERY Left Dance In Company With
 K. K. MCMahan COMPANION DISAPPEARS Coroner Is Investigating case-Bids
 
Coroner Is Investigating case-Bids for New Building at Gadsden Are Called For-Building Is
 Generally Active.

Gadsden, January 5.-(special.)-very little additional light has been shed on the Ashley murder through the investiga- tion of the coroner. Some of the witnesses wanted were not to be found, so that the investigation was postponed, and the evil dence thus far secured has been kept se- cret
 It is known, however, that Ashley left the dance which he was attending with a man named K. K. McMahan and was never seen alive afterward Ashley was a married man and on Saturday took his wife to the home of her father, Peter Shortnancy, while he in company with other members of the Shortnancy family went to a dance at the home of w. M. Quinn in Coates Bend He stayed there until about 10:3O and then left for home in company with McMahan.
 The other members of the Shortnancy family left the Quinn home about mid night and a short distance from their own home came upon the dead body of Ashley, who had of course been killed but short hour before. He had bullet hole in his head, and there was evidence that he had been dragged some distance As the two men were in a buggy this might have occurred by struggle in the vehicle or he might have been dragged some distance after being killed to hide some clew of the crime.
 As McMahan has not been found the natural suppostion is that he is the mur- derer Various theories in support of this hox haa aAx nrt til McMahan is found or proof furnished that he did not meet like fate as Ash ley the crime cannot be definitely laid at his door.
 The coroners jury will probably be called together again tomorrow, and the mystery of the case further probed. So far as known at this time young Ashley was a man of good habits and had no personal enemies, and if McMahan Is not the guilty party the crime is one of deep mystery.
 Notice was published today calling for bids for the construction and equipment of the new federal building for this city. The notice sets the first day of March as the time of opening the bids and it Is presumed that construction will begin shortly after this date if the weather conditions are favorable for making the excavations.

PURGE of Blood. Outlines.

Tangipahoa parish has had an
unenviable reputation for many
wears for being the dark and
bloody ground" for many family
feuds, and of many distressing
murders, transformations and 9th
err crimes, growing out Of these
feuds. But it will be admitted
that the limit has been reached
in the circumstances attending
the assassination of the Breeland
family, early in the week. Bree-
land, his wife, and married step
daughter, Mrs. Joe Everett, and
baby, we're iourneying from Llv'
ingston parish where the pa
rents had been to move the
young woman after her recent
widowhood, caused by a feuc
killing. They were fired upon
and all but the baby killed. From
Breland, who lived until passers
by on the road found him, it Il
learned that the murderers de
liberately took Mrs, Everett
baby from her arms and thel
killed her.

EIectiue School Boards.

4 The people are acknowledged
to be competent to elect thelr
President, Governor, other state
officials, Legislators both state
and national, their sheriffs, as
SCISSORS, police jurors and con-
stables. But in certain quarters
it is still iealously cOntended' by
implication at least, that it is not
safe to trust them with the Sc
lection of their local school direct
ors. Although the people In
Louisiana have lately acquired
this High Right and Privilege, 1t
is evident that it is relinquished
to them most grudgingly. Why 1t
should be cOntended that the till'
ing of these offices should be at
tended with more risk and diff
entity than the office of President
of the United States, or Governor
of Louisiana, and why the Ordi-
nary voter possesses quaIltlca-
tions for the selection of the lat
ter officials but not the former,
are questions pulling to the
average observer. 1t is a fallacY
presented by the practical poll,
ticians so pertinaciOuSly that by
mere dint of iteration and reiter'
alton the people themselves are
almost convinced that it is true
like the beautiful robe OF the
Chinese Emperor, which Hans
Christian Andersen tells of il
one of his stories, and which eX
listed only in the imagination o
the deceitful weayers and tn
too.credulOus pOpulace.
It seems to be the last jealOusI!
fought-for stronghold of auto
cracy, and can only be eX

is therefore what rules Rome.
We are moved again to thes
observations, since, last week, a
most simultaneously in two {
the daily papers Of the metropoI
tan press, there appeared arg
ments against electing Scho
boards, because of the rece1
troubles in several of the paris
es over school matters, and fro
which it was adiudged that Il
old way was the better, since II
elected boards had shown such
capability for bringing petty pc
ties into their deliberations.
