IN JACKSON.
FOUNDER MILLSAPS COLLEGE

Bishop Charles Galloway, the
most prominent man in Metho-
dism. passed away at his home
in Jackson yesterday morning at
5 o'clock, after a short illness
with pneumonia. The passing
away of this brilliant man will
be a distinct loss to Methodism
as we'll as to the country at large.
Bishop Galloway has for years
been president of the board of
education of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South. He was the
founder of Millsaps College at
Jackson, and gave much of his
valuable time to the promotion
of the cause of education.
He was styled the foreign min
lister of Methodism, and was sent
abroad frequent tly and visited of
ficially in Canada, England, Ire
land, and also in the Orient, as
we'll as South America.
Rev. I. w Lewis, of this city,
left yesterday for Jackson, to be
with the bereaved family.

them on Sundays. He had
promised them a picnic, and the
one arranged yesterday was for
the benefit of this Bible class
and the expense of it was borne
by Mr.. Anderson himself.
The bodies were found side by
side near the shore of the lake,
and Mr.. Anderson's shirt was
badly torn, indicating that a
struggle had taken place in his
effort to save young Boyd.
They were conveyed TO this
city by Undertaken Hardy, who
prepared them for burial, and

veyed to his home in Lowndes
county, leaving on the 10:40 A.

bodies.
The funeral of young Boyd
took place here this afternoon
with appropriate services at the
orphanage and interment in Ce-
dar Lawn cemetery. He was
also from Lowndes county,
where his mother is said to still

BUCKLEY PRESIDING
DOCKET IS VERY LIGHT ONE

The Spring term of Circuit
Court convened in this city Mon
day morning, Hon John L. Buck
ley presiding. In his charge to
the grand jury the Judge paid a
beautiful tribute to the citizen
ship of this community. He said
that the people of Lowndes coun-
ty in most instances were law
abiding. Judge Buckley advised
the jury to do the ir duty and
thereby carry out the law

lieves the disregard of the law

greatest menaces to the people
of the country, and he urged the

The sad intelligence of the
death of Mrt. M. O. Lindsey, nee
Lanier, which occurred in Mobile
on Monday night, was a shock to
her many friends in Columbus.
She was sick only a few days and
her death came after an opera
ton which was performed on
Monday. The body was inferred
in the Lindsay burying place in
Mobile at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The bereaved have

friends in this city.

leave on the afternoon train.
The Postal Savings Bank situa-
ton was the subject of Mr..
Teter's remarks. He is violent
ly opposed to the establishment
of such banks. He believes that
as soon as the banking business
is under government control it
would mean the downfall of the
nation: and thinks that banking
business should be controlled by
private corporations. He said
that the need for savings banks
had been misrepresented, as
practically all the banks had
their savings departments,
which practically furnished all
the advantages offered by the
Postal savings banks.
The afternoon session was
opened with an address by Pres
ident Oscar Newton. He began
by giving a brief history of the
Bankers Association of Missis-
sippi. Next a report of Secre-
tary B. w. Griffith was heard,
after which Hon. G.. A. Johnston
gave the report of the Execu-
tive Committee, following this,
Mr.. E. L. Rice of Memphis,
Tenn, cashier of the Trust Com
pany was introduced and de)iv-
cred an interesting lecture on

Reports from the vice-presi-
dents in the eight congressional
districts of Mississippi were then
received. All these reports
showed business in the state to
be in a wholesome, healthy con-
dition.
A telegram was then read from
B. H. Holder, president Missis-
sippi Travellers Association, re-
questing that this convention
make no requests of the differ
ent railroad companies to reduce
rates. No action was
taken on the message.

have such distinguished guests,
he spoke of the national advan-
tages of Mississippi, and urged
the bankers 20 do .heir part ca

Mr.. Whitfield does believe in
waiting for foreign capital, but
thinks that we have men in our
midst with brains and money to
develop the country, who should
take advantage of the golden op-
portunity. Perhaps there is no
man in the State better posted
in regard to the conditions and
advantages of our people than
MIR. Whitfield and his talk be-
fore the bankers was timely.
Hon. j. w. McGrath respond
ed, in well chosen words. In
behalf of the bankers he said
that they were happy to be in
beautiful Columbus noted for
distinct individuality. Among
other interesting things he ad-
vised the bankers to be more
liberal with the farmers and to
give them every chance to make
money. He suggested that it
would be a good idea to make
the farmers notes payable in
March or April instead of Octo-
Der or November, in this way
give them a chance to hold their

LOWNDES COUNTY
BOYS DROWED
Mr.. AUGUSTUS ANDERSON STUDENT At
MILLSApS COLLEGE DIES WHILE Try
ING TO SAVE LlFE0F ORPHAN BOY
FROM THE JACKSON NEWS.

Jackson, Miss, May 9.-Mr.
Augustus Anderson, age "a,
popular theological Student at
Millsaps College, and Willie
Boyd, age II, an inmate of the
Methodist Orphanage, were
drowned in the Country Club
Lake, five miles southeast of
here at 1:35 yesterday afternoon,
the exact time being fixed by
the time Mr.. Anderson's watch
stopped. The bodies were not
recovered until about z last
night, after five hours dragging
with a drag net. 1t was a case
of a man giving his own life in
an effort to save another.
Mr.. Anderson had taken a
party of fourteen orphan boys to
the lake for a picnic and there
were eight of them in a boat,
which capsized. All but two of
the boys saved themselves and
Keith Williams, a son of Super
intendent w. NJ. Williams, was
saved by two other boys, Melvin
Jones and Marcia Firth. Mr..
Anderson, who was some dis
tance away, saw the danger of
young Boyd and swan out to
save him, but was so exhausted
by the time he reached him that
both went down together, he
being unable to swim with the
boys arm locked around him, or
to loosen his hold.
Mr.. Anderson lived at May
hew, Lowndes county, and was
one of two brothers at Millsaps.
He was president of the sopho-
more class and leader in the Y.
M. c. A. and other college work.
A large number of Millsaps stu
dents went out to the lake to aid
in the search for the bodies, ac-
companied by President .Murrah,
of Millsaps.
The drowned man was most
popular around the college,
where he was a great moral
force, and his death is a heavy
loss, especially to the Y. M. c.
A, in which he was most active.
His brother, Mr.. G. G. Anderson,
is grief-stricken over the occur
renee and has the united sympa-I
thy of the student body, as well
as great number of others who
were fortunate enough to enjoy
his personal acquaintance.
Willie Boyd, the youth who
was drowned with Mr.. Ander-
son, had been in the orphanage
eight years, having been re-
ceived when quite small. He
was one of the brightest and
most promising boys in the in
stitution and was a favorite with
the teachers and management,
as well as the other inmates.
Mr.. Anderson had been a great
friend of the boys at the orphan
age, which is located only short
distance north of the college and
had made a practice of conduct

sixty head of steers in the outbreak

DAWSON CHARGED WITH
EMBEzzLEMENT WHILE CITY
CLERK; FILED SATURDAY
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Complaint was filed In Justice Ken
nedy's court Saturday night by Al
derman E. C. Hiatt charging L. D.
Dawson with misappropriation of the
public funds while acting as city clerk
The complaint alleges embezzlement,
falsifying the public records, theft
and various other crimes in connec-
ton with the taking of money that did
not belong to him, the proof of which
will be sufficient to send the defend
ant to the penitentiary.
The amount OF Dawson's shortage
as city clerk Is not yet known, and
probably never will be. owing to the
difficulty of its establishment from the
books and accounts, but 1t Is believed
to be considerable, probably greater
than his defalcation as deputy county
treasurer. Alderman Hiatt fixes the
sum at $3.50 in the complaint, but
there is reason to suspect that II Is
several times that amount. The ex-
animation of the books now being

good deal of crookedness on Dawson's
part, particularly in receipting water
bills. and some surprises are likely
when the report of the examiners is
made. The investigation shows that
Dawson began his peculations in June,
1907. less than three months after his
election to the city clerkship. and
that they continued nearly two years.
