STOCKHOLDERS HOLD
IMPORTANT MEETING
DIRECTORS ELECTED FOR YEAR
IT is THE INTENTION OF THE DIRECTORS
TO MAKE 1910 FAIR GREATEST IN
HISTORY

The stockholders of the Mis-
sissippi and West Alabama Fair
Association held an important
meeting at the court house Tues
day morning, presided over by
Mr.. G. w. Evans, president.
The following directors were
elected for the ensuing year:
Messrs. C. w. Evans, +. G.
Han ldy, F. P. Phillips, S. B
Bradford, w. S, Muslin, J r.
Randle, DR.. John Oliver. and
DR.. f. M. Vaughn. The officers
for the year will be elected at
next meeting to be held at an
early date. Mr.. Evans will no
doubt continue to serve as presi-
dent. 1t is rumored that DR..
Oliver will not serve as secre-
tary any longer, but will devote
his time in the upbuilding of the
interest of the fair.
The exact dates of the fair
will be decided upon later. 1t is
the intention of the directors to
begin early and make the fair of
1910 the greatest in the history
of the association. To do this
the hearty cooperation of every
citizen in Northeast Mississippi
and West Alabama is needed.
By beginning in time this inter
est will be aroused and this is
what the directors mean to do.

Mrs. Martha Hearen.

After an illness of short dura-
ton, Mrs. Martha Hearen passed
peacefully away at her home on
South 4th street, early Sunday
morning. Her death was the
result of paralysis, this being the
second attack.
Mrs. Hearen was 81 years old.
She was born in Pickens county,
Ala, and when quite young was
married to Mr.. w. H. Hearen,
whose death occurred nearly a
year ago. She was a consistent
member of the Baptist church
and always considered it a privi-
lege to be able to attend every
service. She was gentle and
transformations, but always ready
to administer help and comfort
to those in distress. Her life
was indeed a beautiful example
for the two heart broken daugh-
ters who survive, Mrs. NJ. H.
Yerby of this city and Mrs. E.
O. Davidson of Oneonta, Ala.
Mrs. Davidson came to the city
several days ago and was at her
lother's bedside during her last
hours. Mrs. Hearen leaves
brother, Mr.. r. M. holland, of
this city, and many other rela-
tive to mourn her death.
The funeral occurred at the
family residence at A O'Clock
Monday afternoon, Rev. w. A.
Hewitt conducting the services.
The remains were inferred at
Friendship cemetery, beside her
husband. Many beau
tiful floral offerings were sent in
remembrance. The following
were the pall-bearers: Capt.
w. E. Pope, Mr.. d. R. McClary.
Mr.. ]. w. Gardner. Mr.. H. C.
Warfeld, Mr.. John w. Jones
and Mr.. Myrick Cox.

Young Man Robbed

Mr. Calvin Wooten, an employe
Of the Columbus Dispatch, office,
was held up in East Columbus last
Saturday night, near the Indepeu-
dent Oil and Fertilizer works. AS
Mr. Wooten neared the mill me-
gro confronted him with a gun
and ordered him to throw up his
hands AS Wooten was unarmed
there was nothing for him TO do
but obey While the gun was
pointed in his face, a second negro
searched his pockets and relieved
him of his money.
1t seems that three negroes were
in the party and all they were af-
ter was the money. The robbers
have not as yet been identified, but
if they are discovered they will
get the full penalty of the law.

Mrs. HALLS Letter.

Jackson, Miss, April 5. Mrs.
Roby Hall, wife of the proprie-
tor of the Lemon hotel, whose
name has been connected fre-
quently with the disclosures in
the Bilbo- -Dulaney bribery case
anent the election of Senator
Percy, gives out a long state
ment tonight in which she re-
pudiates a statement previously
made to District Attorney Nc
Neill connecting Dulaney with
the bribery charges, and says
she was so mad and excited she
could not tell what she was sing
ing.
Mrs. Hall declares that Ser a
tor Bilbo offered her $1,000 to tes-
tify that Dulaney had offered to
bribe him, but she refused. She
further states that Bilbo tried to
borrow money from her, and
that Representative Cowart tried
to get her to negotiate a loan
from the Percy side for his vote.
The testimony of Mrs. Hall has
added zest to the senatorial in
vestigation which is still on.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
JOHN 7, CARTER, WHO KILLED Or. WR

FOR NEW TRIAL OVERRULED

Aberdeen, Miss, April 5.-John
I. Carter, whose trial on a charge
OF murder in connection with the
killing of DR.. w. p. Wendell has
been in progress fer a week, was
declarded guilty of manslaughter
late today and tonight was sem
fenced TO serve 20 years in the
state penitentiary, the maximum
penalty. The imposing of the sem
tence followed the overruling of u
motion for a new trial. Announce
ment was made by the attorneys
for Carter that the case would be
Immediately appealed TO the SUI
preme court
Because of the prominence of
the principals and the many SEN
sational features incident to the
killing of DR.. Wendell, the trial has
been closely followed and has
caused much feeling. Notwith-
standing the finding of the jury
was received with but little att
tempt at a demonstration and this
was quickly suppressed
The defense set up by counsel
for Carter was chiefly the "un-
written law" although it was also
contended that he acted i'm self
defense. The shooting occurred
in the lobby of a local hotel, the
immediate result of a controversy
between Carter and Wendell in the
apartments of Mrs. Carter. So i'm
tense was public feeling toward
the end of the trial that court Off
ciais deemed it advisable to search
for weapons those who attended
the hearings

ACCIDENT SUNDAY AFTERNOON

What came near being a
serious accident occurred on Sun
day afternoon, when Mr.. Bob
Sims with his wife and four chill
dren seated in a wagon were
crossing the Williams bridge
over Magbee creek about 5 miles
east of Columbus. The bridge
gave way, the wagon, team and
family all were precipitated into
the creek, a depth of Is feet.
Mr.. Sims had unusual presence
of mind and by great effort res
cued the entire family. Mrs.
Sims and little daughter, Maudie,
Z years of age, received painful
injuries. Their escape from
drowning is nothing less than
marvellous and while one horse
was drowned and the other
slightly injured, Mr.. Sims is to
be congratulated, and his friends
all are rejoicing with him and
his family that they escaped
with their lives.
Mr.. Sims and family reside on
Mr.. Walter Cooper's place east

BASKET FACTORY DESTROYED

located at Wyeth City, Ala, was
totally destroyed by fire about z
O'Clock Sunday evening. Mr.. D..
R. Saunders, of this city, who is
president and general manager
of this factory, which is owned
by a large company, left Monday

had only been rebuilt and in
operation for about three months.

Their earnest cooperation encour-
ages me to continue as an active
candidate for the grand prize dia-

Der and enthusiasm of her
friends, and if she does as much

doing for her, she will figure in
the distribution of the prizes.
The publication of vote coupons
will be discontinued. The can

the double vote offer and will be
able to devote all of their time to
the work of securing subscrip-
tiOns.
It. has been decided to post
pone the boys contest until the
school vacation begins. All
votes secured by the young men
will remain to their credit and
the boys will have a contest all

school duties do not conflict with
the work of securing votes.

The stimulating effect of the
double vote offer and the oppof-
tunity to win a solid gold Swiss
watch is seen in the energetic
work now being done by the
young ladies in the big contest.
The leading candidates will
probably be overtaken by a num-
Der of the others as a result OF
the double vote offer, as it will
be possible for those previously
Indifferent to secure as many
votes as the leaders now have,
and with only half as much
money.
Contestants who do not take
advantage of this offer will find
themselves in a serious position,
as the really ambitious ladies
will do their utmost to make vic
tory certain this week.
Several of the workers are
doing good work in the effort to
win the special prize solid gold
Swiss watch, offered by Buder
Bros, to the lady securing the
largest number of subscription
votes before A p. m. Saturday.
The Columbus ladies were not a
little surprised that Miss Hart
man of Crawford should have
carried off the special prize hon.
ors last week, and they don't
wish to see the gold watch get
away from them this week.
Miss Lille Eichelberger, the
popular representative of the |.
l. and c. in the contest, is max
ing a remarkable race and win
ming friends every day. She
was not far from the winner
when the silk dress was awarded
last week and her friends are
helping her to win the gold
watch this week.
Miss Fannie Dismukes, one of
the most popular of Columbus
