Early this morning there passed

McInnis Draughn, wife of Mr.. Andrew
D. Draughn, a prominent lumberman
and bank director at the family resi-
dence on River avenue. Mrs. Draughn
had never been very strong since an
operation a year or SO ago and was
taken suddenly ill Monday with acute
indigestion. She BECAME rapidly
worse and although several physi-
clans and her devoted family exerted
every effort, the frail thread of life
snapped this morning, before even her
Draughn, could reach here from Balti-
more, Nd, where he was attending
the college of physicians and sur

and McInnis families are very promi-

1855 in this city, and was the daugh-

Martha fairfield, pioneer settlers OF
this county. She was married on
June IA, 1888, in this city.
Although she cared little herself for
the social world, she made her home

MYSTERY ABOUT
 DEATH OF GIRL
Coroner Holds EhOl0r0f0rm Killed Hel Body Found in Lake-Was
 Engaged.

1 Ashevlle, N C., Sept. 13.--A eofo= of Miss Myrtle Hawkins, of Tender sonville, resulted in verdict that the young woman came to her death as the result of chloroform administered by an unknown party or parties.
 Local police are cooperating with officers of Hendersonville in working out the mystery surrounding Miss Hawkins death. It is stated by a relative of the woman that a man in she Hendersonville vicinity is sus- pected of having administered choloro- form to the girl. probably while in the woodland near Lake Osceola, in which she was found dead
 The body was found floating ill the lake, face downward, at the time it was found by several boys who were fish ing in the lake.
 Physicians and others who examined the body are said to have declared that it had never been submerged in the water It is also asserted that physi- clans state that the lungs contained no water, thus disproving the theory of drowning that was at first sug- gested.
 A relative of the woman states that she was engaged to Hal Cooper, a prominent young business man, of Johnson City, Tenn, but that he is ill no sense suspected of having been responsible for her death, either di- rectly or indirectly. The wedding was expected to occur at an early date.
 Asheville police officials are retic- ent about giving out any information las to the developments in the case further than that Hendersonville man is suspected of having murdered the girl.
 The suicide theory is not given ere dence.

OCTOBER F WILL BE OCCASION FOR BIG CELEBRATION OF
 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HERE
JUDGE KERWIN'S IDEA
Pine Bluff Council May Join With Lit tie Rock in Observing the New
 Legal Holiday.

The local Knights of Columbus, known as Council No. 1153, will in all probability celebrate Columbus Day on October 12.
 This event in Arkansas was made possible through the efforts of Judge E. J. Kerwin, of this city, who, while acting as Representative from Jeffer= son county in the last legislature, among the many bills he passed, Ae introduced and passed House Bill No. 1. designating October 12 of this and each succeeding year as Columbus Day in Arkansas, making it legal holiday. Judge Kerwin was at that time the state deputy of the order in Arkansas The bill was signed by Governor Donaghey on June 2.
 Twenty-four Of the states of the Union will on October 12 this year celebrate Columbus Day. The bill, as passed simply commemorates the event of the discovery of America and the ulSCofPTeI. some years dSO lue Congress of the United States pass ed an appropriation of $l0oo00 to build a suitable monument at Wash ington, D. C, in conmemoration of the man and the event as pertaining to the North America continent. This magnificent monument will be uh- yelled at Washington on October F of this year. It is a just tribute paid to the great voyager at that time, who amid difficulties, as narrated by history, entities him to recogni- tion by the people of the country he discovered. Arkansas was of the twenty four states the nineteenth to make it holiday. If the local Knights do not celebrate by themselves they will possibly join either Little Rock or Fort Smith as this is the first time they will have had an op- portunity to celebrate the day.

District President Rchey of This City Addresses Letter to All Interest
 ed in Rig Gatherin@.

A letter went out from the office of D. w. Richey. district presiden. of the Jefferson County Sunday School Association, addressed to superintendants, secretaries, Sunday School workers and pastors, making the important announcement that the annual County Sunday School Con- vention will be held at Sherrill Oct. g and 10
 In this letter Mr. Richey encourages his constituents by the declaration that the organized Sunday School is the greatest character moulding force in American to-day. He cites as one great proof the fact that Temper ance was not taught in Bible schools prior to the year 1890, little more than 20 years ago. The Prohibition wave began simultaneous with the teaching of the evils growing out of the liquor traffic, and has steadily progressed since that time until to- day more than forty million people in the United States are living in ter ritory where the legal sale of in- toxicants are prohibited.
 The letter further reads. When the present generation of Bible school students reach maturity, the Prohi- bition wave that has been steadily encroaching on license territory, will sweep the entire United States and shake the very foundations of cor rupt society"
