Pastor Presbyterian Chur,
Another Big Mt. Ayr Case to be Tried
y - Va. NJ IIenn = st"'7

There will probably be another
full week of the Decatur county dis
trict court occupied at the next term
Of court which meets in August, in
the trial of another big criminal
case which has been sent here from
Mt. Ayr. The case is that of State
vs.: George W. Kelley, who was in
dicted for rape, ,andsafter a hard con
test over the matter Judge Maxwell
last week granted the defendant a
change of venue. The defendant
who is a man about sixty years of
age was indicted on the charge of
rape and his attorneys alleged that
he could not secure a fair trial in
Ringgold county on account of pre-
judice against him. He was one of
the Mt. Ayr men who were acquitted
of the charge Of conspiring to defeat
justice at the last term of court held
in this city, an indictment having
been returned against him and his
attorneys Spence & Smith, charging
that they tried to induce the prose
cutting witness in the rape case
against Kelley to leave the county
and not appear against him for a
money consideration, but on account
of flaws in the indictment the case
was taken away from the jury by
Judge Maxwell who instructed the
jury to return a verdict of not
guilty. -:

He Starts Out Right.

Mayor Foxworthy is starting out
right, as will be seen by his procla-
nation published elsewhere in this
issue. He gives notice that all the
alleys in the city must j.. be cleaned
up at once, as we'll as all pig pens.
He also serves notice on owners Of
chickens that they must keep their
chickens at home SO that they will
not annoy and destroy the gardens
of their neighbors. And finally he
gives notice that the ordinance pro-
viding for the punishment of those
fellows who persist in splitting on
the sidewalks, in stores, stairways
and other places will be strictly en-
forced. We are glad to see the new
mayor take this stand. The city or
dinances in regard to these matters
have been ignored and are violated
every day. Mayor Foxworthy pro-
poses to enforce them, and in this
matter he will have the hearty sup
port of every good citizen. We are
glad to see him take this stand on
these matters. He will make some
people mad, but if as he says,
all persons will look alike to him,
he will have nothing to fear in the
end. Let every one help the mayor
in this matter, and we will have q
much cleaner and better city.

MORE SCHOOL ROOM
Special Election Called to Vote on
Issuing Bonds for an Addition {
to hiQh School Building.

The voters of the Leon school dis
trict will have an opportunity e
vote on the question of issuing bonds
in the sum of not to exceed $4,000
for the purpose of building an addi-
ton to the Leon High School. The
election will be held on May l7th,
end at this election both men and
women will be allowed. to vote, the
question of issuing schools bonds De-
ing one of the questions on which
women are allowed to vote IN this
state.
For several years the Leon schools
have been crowded to capacity, and
it is absolutely necessary that some
provision be made to take care OF the
increased attendance, and the board
has been considering the question OF
what to do in the matter for some
time. A few weeks ago a public
meeting was held at the opera house
and it was the unanimous opinion OF
those present that the school board
should 60 ahead and make provision
for properly caring for the school
children. After mature consideration
the board decided to submit the
proposition to issue bonds Of not TO
exceed $4,000 for the purpose Of
erecting and equipping an addition
to the High School building.
1t is absolutely necessary that
something be done, for the schools
are now SO crowded that a number
OF the pupils are only allowed to at
tend school half day, and the prop
osition should be carried by unarl-
imous vote. If the addition is no:
voted for it will be up to the school
hoard to rent additional rooms away
from the school buildings to take
care OF the pupils and this would
involve big expense as extra teach
trs would have to be employed and
the rent of suita bic buildings would
oe a great deal more than the annual
interest on the bonds.

To Push McGinnis for Congess.

A meeting of number of the
leading democrats of Leon was held
in this city last Thursday evening to
take steps to actively push the can
didacy of Hon. V. R. McGinnis for
congress. Those who were present
We're unanimous of the opinion that
McGinnis is the logical and strongest
man in the district to make the race,
J. l.. Mendenhall was elected to man-
age the preliminary campaign, and
nomination papers were sent to each
county in the district and manv Of
them have already been filled with
signers and filed. From all parts
of the district. come letters of en-
couragement and it looks as if Mr..
McGinnis would receive the united
support Of the democracy of the dis
'trict. And he will if nominated
make a splendid campaign, and who
knows but what the eighth district
will again be represented in congress
by democrat. There is no telling
now lightning is going to strike in
political circles this year.

A Word to Evening shoppers.

In conversation with one of Leon =
leading merchants We learned that
gradually number of shoppers have
drifted into the habit of doing their
shopping late in the evening. The
stores of Leon close at 8 o'clock and
the merchant said that nearly every
evening customers drop in at his
store just at closing time, when they
are all ready to close up. OF course
they cannot close and turn the GUS
toners out, and by the time the first
customer is waited on others drop in,
and the result is that the proprietor
or clerks are kept on, duty an hour
or more after the regular closing
time, The merchants and clerks
have long hours anyway, and the
buying public should try and do their
shopping before eight o'clock in the
evening. -: sfs

WIRELESS CALLS GREAT SHIPS
TO RESCUE OF TITANIC.

Boston, Mass, April 16.-The
manner of the Titanic's encounter
with the icebergss and it's frantic ap-
peals for aid through the medium
Of the wireless is known by the SER
lies Of messages sent into the. air,
the later and more vital facts of the
fate of the passengers is shrouded in
a mystery the gradual clearing of
which seems to be revealing an un-
paralleled sea tragedy.
The Titanic was on it's maiden
voyage. When it found itself among
the icefields on the Grand Banks the
vessels sent call after call to the hur-
rying liners Of the upper roads-the
Cunarder Carpathia, the Virginian
and the Persian of the Allan line,
the great Baltic, the "Good Samari-
tan of the Atlantic" and the big
Germans that were plowing their
way between the continents.
Ships Race to Aid.
IN The Carpathia and the ,Virginian,
wheel in their course, raced to the
aid Of the Titanic.
It has been many years since the
world was left in such suspense and
dread as followed the first faltering
calls for help from the crushed YES
sci. At 1880 on Sunday night the
sVirginian, speeding on its way to
Glasgow, picked up the White Stars
Marconi signal of distress that clears
the air of all lesser messages. The
wireless operator of the Virginian
caught the cry for help: a
Have struck an iceberg. Badly
damaged. Rush aid" 4 --
Baltic Rushes to Aid.
Seward and landward J. G. Phil
lips, the Titanic wireless man, was
sending the appeal for help. The
wireless was working unevenly and
blurringly. A word or two, scatter
ed phrases, now and then q connect
ine sentence, made up the messages
that cent : thrill Of apprehension for
thousand miles east, west and
south az the doomed liner.
