c. A. Kirke Dead

Charles A. Kirke died at Perry
Fla, Tuesday night.
Yesterday morning telegram
was received by his wife and daugh-
ter here announcing his death the
night before.
Mrs. Kirke left for Perry this
morning. She made all preparations
and started to take the 3 p. m. train
yesterday, the first train after the
telegram announcing his death, but
learned at the train that she would
be delayed at Monticello, Fla,
twelve hours and could reach Perry
as early by leaving this morning.
Mr.. Kirke was one of the first
settlers Of Fitzgerald, but for the
last five or six years he had spent a
great deal of the time on the road
conducting a rubber stamp business
he had established with headquart-
ers in Chicago. He had gone to
Perry only few weeks before his
death from Tallahassee where he
had spent more than year
Mr.. Kirke was not appreciated
generally on account of his high
prejudices and cratic nature. He
was a man of education and high
ability, blue bIooded and high strung.
He was nephew of General Robert
E. Lee and associated with him in
his younger days. He was sixty
two years old.
He leaves a wife and one daugh-
ter ten years old who have the
sympathy of the good people of this
community.

Perry B. Owens, the barber, is
laid up for repairs, the result of q
collision in which he was chief suf-
ferer, Tuesday evening.
Perry and Fitz Hugh Lee had
been out looking for their part OF
of the quail, and after receiving the
birds started to the city. They were
useing a special on the main line
without lights OR fog horn and en-
countered an extra that put the
burch in the ditch, as you might
say.
Mr.. Lee is considerably bruised
but still in the ring" he had liked
to have been quite still enough for
the undertaken but he continues to
undertake to use his razor on the
faces of his long suffering patrons.
Mr.. Owens is in bed, bad off and
may not be able to get off for some
days yet.

Cashier Meeks Shoots Him.
self

Spurgeon Meeks, the young and
popular chashier of the Irwinville
bank shot himself through the head
with suicidal intent at his home in
IIrwiinville yesterday morning about
z O'clock.
There Is some speculation as I'd
the motive of the act of course the
first thought that suggested itself
was the account with the bank he
manages almost single handed, then
their is rumor that domestic trou-
bles caused the rash act, but he was
recently married and there is no
knowledge of infelicity.
The young man is still alive altho
he has an ugly wound in the right
temple, the bullet piercing the brain.
There is some chance Of his recovery.
Mr., Meeks is also agent for the F.
O. and B. R. r. at Irwinville and
very popular in this section.

Lisbon, November 2.-The new

tionary outbreak, has been dismiss
ed.
The crew of the cruiser ADMINISTER,
which also fired upon the home of
King Manuel, has refused to leave

these demands.
A secret committee representing
an element dissatisfied with the
course of the nhw government has
been planning a revolution for some
time. There also are troubles in the
provinces, where the people refuse
to recognize the governments ap-
pointees to positions Of trust, be-
cause they say the new officers are
incapable. Disorders in the prov

FUND FOR TAFT'S JAUNTS

Opposed by Democrats Because of
Frequent Absence From Washington
Washington, May president
Taft's journeying about the country is
to be made the subject of debate in
the house when the sundry civil bill
comes up for consideration in that
body.
The measure contains a provision
appropriating s25, 900 to defray the
presidents travelling expenses. I'm
der ordinary circumstances this
amount would not become available
until July L, the beginning of the new
fiscal year. At the request of Mr..
Carpenter, the presidents secretary,
the appropriation is to become i'm
mediately available"
Democrats will oppose this sundry
civil item, using this provision in a
partisan way to inform the country
that the president spends too little
time in Washington. 1t will be
charged that Mr.. Taft has spent more
time away from Washington proper
tionately than any other president.
