Two Men.

Bill Brown is dead Upstairs in grief
His widow weeps. while down below
The neighbors now in charge Of things
Are softly moving to and fro.
And now and then come men to speak
Their words OF sympathy and cheer.
To sound the praises Of poor Brown.
And place their roses on his bier.
Across the street Tom Smith plods on.
Alone. unaided in his fight.
To keep his wife and children clothed
He has to hustle day and night.
A word Of praise would do him good.
He's hungry for bit Of cheer.
But all his neighbors take their flowers
To decorate dead mans bier.
Brown doesn't know what's going on,
But poor Tom Smith across the way
Turns to his wife and sadly says:
I'll have a lot Of friends some day.
Some day you'll hear my praises sung.
And men will bring me roses red,
They'll all ru sh up to boost poor me
The minute that they hear I'm dead"

GERS of this city and section are today
securing the mountains around Ashe-

lone bandit. who last night held up
and robbed the express car OF a South

from his campaigning to run into At

prospective commissioners.

Il find the people acutely interested

farmers are looking well to the ques-
ton of who shall be the next commits
sioner of agriculture. l believe | shall
be elected, for l am the only real farm

at all for farmer in our scheme of

Mrs. Jones Refuses to DivuIge
Motive for Killing Young
Nashville Widow.
DEAD W0MAN'S BABY SON
ONLY WITNESS TO TRAGEDY
jealousy, Caused by Neighbour
hood Gossip as to Divorce
Case, Theory of State.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. 16.-
While relatives and friends today be-
stirred themselves to obtain bail for
Mrs. Leoia Jones' the Nashville woman
charged with killing her rival, Mrs
Alva Frances Cave, a comedy young
widow, counsel for the accused took
their first steps in preparation for the
prisoners defense.
1t is believed that the commonwealth
victing Mrs. Jones, because no one
save the two-year- old son of the dead
woman saw the shooting. Mrs. Jones
today refused to make any statement
CARRIED in spotless white, the pris-
oner sat in her cell today, showing
neither fear nor excitement. Her only
perturbation of mind arose over the
grim barred room which soiled her
snowy garments.
Jealousy caused by neighborhood
gossip is the motive which the prosecu-
ton will try to establish. Charges made
by Mrs. Jones in a suit for divorce last
year, in which Mrs. Cave was named as
correspondent, will be introduced tO
show the mental attitude of the prison
er toward the victim.
The shooting of Mrs. Cave may result
in double tragedy, owing to the pre-
carious state of health of Mrs Sophia
Leinhous, mother Of Mrs. Cave, who
collapsed when told of the killing. She
is at present under the constant care of
physicians.
Owing to the prominence of the fam
lily of the slain woman, the case has
aroused high interest throughout the
state . Mrs. Cave was the daughter-in-
law of DR.. R. Lin Cave, pastor of the
Woodland Street Christian church Of
this city, chaplain general of the United
Confederate Veterans and former pas
tor Of the West End Christian church
in Atlanta. He has a brother in the
ministry in ST. Louis. For a number
of years he was engaged in educational
work in Lexington, Ky.
Mrs. Cave was 80 years old. Pa
thetic circumstances connected with
the case are that the dead woman
leaves two small children, son aged
two and a daughter aged five.
