have got an auction sale and we'd
ding ceremony mixed in the fol
lowing way:
William Smith, the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah Smith,

about one mile east of here, in
the presence of seventy guests,
including the following, towit:
Two mules, twelve head of cattle.
Rev. Jackson tied the nuptial
knot, averaging 1880 pounds on
the hoof. The home of this
charming bride was tastefully
decorated with sewash clam
spade, one sulky rake, one feed
grinder, one set of double har-
ness, nearly new, and just before
the ceremony was pronounced
Mendelssohn's inspiring wedding
march was given by one milch

MANY KILLED
AND WOUNDED
FROM TRESTLE INTO RIVER
Broken Axle on Engine Causes
Terrible Disaster on Atlantic
Coast Line Near Ocil1a, Ga.

Ocilla, Ca, March 25.-Seyen
persons were killed and more than a
dozen injured when train No. o5,
known as the Dixie Flyer, and run
ming between Chicago and Jackson
vile, Fla, was wrecked on the
trestle over the Alapaha river, near
here, at 7:2o o'clock this morning.
The first and second-class coaches
and the first Pullman sleeper went
into the river, carrying away about
400 feet of the trestle.
According to the reports of some
of the passengers who came to
Ocilla, the wreck happened without
any warning and was caused by the
breaking of an axle on the engine
when midway of the long trestle.
The coaches in the river are about
ten feet under water and II is said
the list of the dead may be increased
when the debris is cleared. Seven
bodies had been recovered by noon
and the injured were brought here
and will be sent to the Atlantic
Coast Line hospital at Waycross,
Georgia.
First reports of the wreck were to
the effect that the entire train went
into the river and that forty were
injured.
The scene of the wreck is in a re-
mote section of the state and it was
several hours before accurate infor-
nation was obtainable.
Relief trains have been sent to
the scene from Waycross, Upton
and Willacoochee and it is stated
that it will be thirty-six hours before
the tracks are cleared for traffic.

NAY YET
ABOLISH
IN OFFICE
LIVE STOCK
INSPECTOR
MAY Be CUT BY STATUTE
Committee Seems to Favor Doing
Away With This Office And
Pot Duties Upon Others

Nashville, March 25-The joint
legislative agricultural committee
may recommend the abolition OF
the office of state live stock in
spector. The idea of many mem
bers of the committee is to dc
away with this Office and place
the inspection of all live stock
directly under the supervision OF
the commissioner of agriculture
himself, authorizing that official
to employ inspectors when neces-
sary, such inspectors being requir-
ed to have knowledge of veterina-
ry surgery. The committee be-
lieves that this change would mol
only be a saving financially, but
that the proposed new system
would be more effective than that
now IN force. vi course the abb
olition of the Office of state live
stock inspector would mean abol-
ishing all existing deputyships
under the state inspector.
Two years ago the Legislature
appropriated $4,000 for the main
tenance of the West Tennessee
experiment station. There was
so much delay in locating that
station that the money was never
paid over and consequently re-
verted to the state. The commit
tee will recommend that this
money be paid. Generally speak
ing, the report of the committee
will be favorable.

NEW BALL GROUNDS
SOON BE IN READINESS

President Copcnhaver of the ball
club was up in the mountains looking
for crooks yesterday, and instead found
one of the straightest youngsters that
ever split rail, but who throws the
crookedest out-drop you ever saw.
That maens he's pitcher. We saw
him. Furthermore, we shook hands
with him. Hence, we are writing
with our left hand, and dosing our
right with soothing syrup. Said pitch
er answers to the name of Otis Sim
onds. Otis is a whale of a feller. We
climbed up on garbage can and ask
ed him if he didn't think it was fine
day, He sasd he hadn't noticed, but
would take our word for it. Otis also
has big muscle, red face and wears
clothes like an ordinary human being.
He is signed up to play with our team
this season. Bully for Otis.
The new ball grounds will be ready
for fun about the lst of May. The old
sinkholes and tunnels in the outfield
have been filled, the diamond made as
smooth as new cut gem, and the
seating capacity is probably sgreat
enough to hold even double header
crowd. Practice will begin about the
last of April, and from all accounts it
will be snippy work from the start, as
nearly all the men signed thus far say
they are in fine trim already. We real
ly feel like predicting something, and
darned if we don't. Will give you said
prediction later.

WARDEN
ENGLISH
ENDORSED
COMMITTEE
RESOLUTIONS
URGE HIS REINFORCEMENT
Condition of Branch Prison Highly
Praised and Committee is
Greatly Pleased
URGE HIS REAPPOINTMENT

Nashville, March 25.-The peni-
Tertiary investigating committee at
its session recently made more prog
ress with its report, an important
recommendation being that guards,
wardens and other officials be sub
jected to civil service examination
before appointment. They official
ly endorse Warden English at the
Brushy Mountain prison and asked
Governor Hooper to reappoiI him.
Another recommendation was that
convicts be worked not over ten
hours per day except on the farm in
harvest time.
The endorsement of Warden
English follows:
To His Excellency, Gov, Ben
w. Hooper: The following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted by
the joint penitentiary investigating
committee (which is composed of
regulars, independents and republi-
cans(, on Thursday, March 23,
1911:
Whereas, we, the members of
the joint penitentiary investigating
committee, after making a thorough
inspection of the prison system in
Tennessee, and the record of the
various officials connected Herewith,
take pleasure in commencing for
your consideration the appointment
of the Hon. w. F. English for the
position of warden of the branch
prison at Petros. In making this
recommendation we do so solely on
the ground of his merit, business
ability, honesty and extraordinary
humane treatment he has accorded
the prisoners.
Since he has been acting as
warden his record is clear and per-
feet in all things. He has the re-
spect of every official connected
with the prison, and is loved by ev-
cry prisoner under him.
We make this recommends
ton voluntarily and without the
suggestion or solicitation of any one,
believing it to be to the best interest
of the state, and knowing that his
removal from the prison will be the
greatest loss that could happen to
=.

ELECTROCUTION;
PAROLE SYSTEM

The joint committee of the legis-
lature on amendments to the GRIM
inal laws, have adopted two bills.
One of these provides for the cleo
trocution instead of the hanging of
all condemned felons, the electrocu-
tions to take place at the main pris-
on.
The second bill provides for a pa
role system. The bill creates pa
role board composed of the governor,
chairman of the prison commission
and warden of the penitentiary. Pa
roles may be granted after the pris-
oner has served one-third of his sem
tence. The committee will prob
ably not report a bill providing for
the indeterminate sentence system.
The committee has also reached a
tentative agreement as to the text of
juvenile court law, but this bill has
not yet been entirely completed.
A bill amending the boys reform
atory act of 1909 will also be report
ed by this committee.
