Breaks Routine Work

The Peabody incident broke in upon a
day of routine work as many committees
and officers read their reports Mrs. y,
b. Tate. the treasurer-general, pleased
the delegates with a detailed report of
finances, chief of which was that there
is $4,000 In the treasury. Other reports
showed the organization in good condition
and growing.
Giving a prize for the best essay ON the
confederacy has met with great favor.
and after 1t was announced that Miss
Hortense Herman of Baltimore had won
the 1913 prize of S100 for her essay ON '"rhe
Rank and File of the Confederacy," it
was unanimously voted to offer the same
prize for next years contest.
From all appearances now the two can
didates first mentioned for the office of
president-general will be all that are in
the race 1t is said that many of the
delegates are leaning toward Mrs. Daisy
McLaurin Stevens of Mississippi in her
race against Mrs. n. L. Ella, of Virginia.
1t is said that this is because the Vir-
ginia delegation is anxious to return Mrs.
c. b. Tate as treasurer-general and
many do not believe two general officers
should be elected from the same state.
Want Little Politics
That the daughters want only politics
that concern their own organization was
evinced again to-day when the minutes
of yesterdays meeting We're read. When
the secretary noted that the convention
had refused to receive greetings from a
suffragist convention also meeting in New
Orleans, a cheer broke out in the con-
vention hall. This was taken up generally
and it was some time before the secretary
could proceed with her reading.
Social features continue to take much
time of the delegates. Tonight they were
entertained at the French opera,
Mrs. Thomas NJ. Owen of Montgomery,
Ala, president-general of the Women's
Auxiliary to the Southern Commercial
congress, addressed the convention on
what her oganization is doing to have
some of the forts at the Panama canal
named for southern heroes. BY resolu-
tion the daughters heartily indorsed the
plan and later a resolution was adopted
which provided that each division presi-
dent of the daughters urge her repre-
sentatives in Congress to further the
plan.
A singular honor was bestowed upon
Mrs. l.. III. Raines. who resigned today
her position as custodian general OF
crosses of honor. She was elected to the
office of referee of crosses of honor for
life term. This office was created for
her largely as testimonial of her work
in the former office. She reported that

Thurman Duffield Dead

The wounds received by Thur
man Duffield the young man who
was shot while trying to arrest
the Sampson women for the
shooting which occurred Eon
Walker several days ago. proved
fatal, and on Wednesday morning
at two O'Clock the brittle thread
of life was cut and he was launch
ed into eternity.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Duffield received a terrible wound
in the arm and shoulder. a full
load of shot from a twelve-guage
shot gun entering his arm at the
wrist and lodging in the shout
der. At the time it was feared
that his arm would have to be
amputated. but it was not sus-
pected that the wound would be
fatal until a day or two ago. when
tetanus or lockjaw set in. All
the skill the science of medicine
affords was brought to play, but
in vain.
Thurman Duffield was a son of
A. w. (Fleet) and Jerusha Duff
ield. His father, one of the
prominent citizens of the upper
West Fork Valley, died several
years ago. His mother still sur
wives. He is also survived by his
wife and two small children, and
the following brothers and sist-
ers; Curt, Scott and Adelaide
Duffield, all of whom reside near
Minnora; and Mrs. C. A. Jarvis,
of this place, Mrs. G. C. Knots,
Mrs. C. V. Shawver, Misses FL
sic and Bjna Duffield, of Min
nora.
Although the young man had
been a little reckless in the ear
lier part of his life, he was never
bad and for the past several
months he had been leading an
upright, useful life. He was
generous to a fault, honest and
straightforward, and the news of
his bad condition and death came
as painful shock to his friends
who were legion.

Aged Citizen Seriously Injured
John j. Mathews. an AGE,

John j. Mathews, an aged
and respected citizen of this
county. residing on I.eafbank,
was seriously and maybe fatally
injured Sunday afternoon. He
was out walking around his farm
looking over his livestock, when
a vicious ram charged on him
and struck him in the side, knock
ing him to the ground. No bones
were broken, but internal iniu-
ries were inflicted that, on ac-
count Of his advanced age, may
prove fatal. Drs. Dye and Nor
ford were called and rendered
medical attention that relieved
him of much suffering, but he is
still in a precarious condition.
Mr.. Mathews is about 70 years
of age and is a confederate vet
eran of the Civil War. He is one
of the counCy's most highly re-
spected citizens, and has many
sincere and true friends who re-
greet to hear of his misfortune.
