Mary Davidson Victim of Tea
Anna Evans Knife

While the fair grounds were
crowded Saturday night, Tea
Anna Evans plunged a knife into
the throat of Mary Davidson
and the latter fell to the earth
mortally wounded and expired
within few minutes. Both
women are negroes and formerly
lived in Houston.

that those in company with the

life of one had been taken by the
hand of the other.

. wound. the Evans woman left
Immediately, but surrendered to
the officers about A o'clock Sum

dead woman was taken to the
home of friend near by.
Tea Anna Evans and Mary Da-
wilson. we are informed. were
the two negroes who were
brought to Tupelo in the spring
of 1913 and lodged in Jail as
probable accessories to the mur-
der of Mrs. John C. Williams in
Houston, for which crime Dwell
Rucker, negro man, was burned
at the stake in Houston on the
9th of May, 1918. They were
witnesses against Rucker and it
was deemed advisable to remove
them from the county and they
were brought to Tupelo for safe
keeping. The grand jury that
investigated the case failed to
indict the women and they were
discharged from the Lee county
Jail and did not return to Hous-
ton. -
The cause that led up to the
tragedy is not known.
The body of Mary Davidson
was taken to Houston for burial.
Tea Anna Evans is in Jail and
will be given a preliminary hear
ing Monday before Esq. C. W.

Never Brighten a Child.

Says the Italian physiologist, Mos SO: Every ugly thing told to child. every fright, every shock given him will remain like minute splinter in the flesh to torment him all his life long" Doctor Barker in quoting this statement with approval adds: The mother, the nurse, the maid and the servants still frighten the. child with tales of the bogy-man, of goblins or ogres, of witches and of wizards. Doctor Barker urges that instead of thus stimulating fears, the wise pa rent will endeavor to teach the child to be courageous and not to have a fear of the dark or of thunder or light ming. or be afraid of being alone. Ger tain fears common to childhood, he says, are easily overcome, especially through the example of courage set by the parent. nurse or teacher. There are cases, however, in which fears are a symptom of disease. Thus, young girl brought to Doctor Barker because of a distressing fear of burglars in the house" was found to be suffering from goiter. Children who suffer from night terrors" often have adenoids With the removal of this growth. . slight operation. the might terrors" disappear.

CARPET WEAVING IN PERSIA
Proeess Seems Tedious, But the Pro auction 10 Celebrated Through
 out the World.

Generally speaking, tho carpets of India can never excel those of Persia, as the materials used in the former are not of the same superior quality as those employed in the latter country. The wool of which many of the best carpets are manufactured is obtained from Kashmir. Sometimes carpets which are mistaken for silk are really of an extremely fine quality of wool known as "pashm." This Is obtained from the goats of Kashmir and grows close to the skin, being protected by the long and coarser wool. It is as smooth and lustrous as silk and Is used for the beautiful soft shawls for which Kashmir is famous. Peculiar methods are employed by the Indian weaver in converting his original de- sign into a textile. Instead of work ing from colored drawing or diagram, the weaver has the pattern translated on paper into rows of symbols, each of which expresses the number of stitches in his hand, the head weaver sits be- hind his subordinates and dictates the pattern to them, one row at time, all through the breadth of the carpet. These weavers-generally quite small boys-sit in front of the warp strings and tie in the requisite number of stitches of each color as called out to them by the reader from his ciphered scrip. These boys, who perform the actual process of weaving the pile, fol- low day by day the dictations of the head man, knowing nothing of the pat tern they are preparing, but gradually building up in a mechanical way the carpet on the strings before them.

BrIand as a Debater.

M. Aristide Briand, whose admira- ton for MT. Lloyd-George has just been confessed in the London Chroni- cle, taught himself readiness of speech on the Congers' Hall system. His plan was to haunt the Paris cafes and for an hour or two engage anyone who cared in political discussion. He strove with the enemy for the sake of the argument. putting forward difficulties which he did not always himself ac- knowledge in order that he might hear what could be said on the other side. The result of his system was to make him one of the most formidable men in the chamber.

SECURE SLEEP IN DAY TIME
Case of Some Plants, According to Botanlsts.

Clover shuts its leaves before rain and at night, bringing two of its three leaves face to face and folding the third over the top. according to the Scotsman. The young blossoms are also carefully sheltered by inclosing leaves, which move forward in the evening and warp them around.
 There are two plants in the garden whose flowers sleep by day-the night blooming stock and Lychnis vesper- tina. The former is withered and shriv. eled in daylight, but expands and ex- hales a vanilla-like odor at night. The Lychnis Is white. and in bright sun. shine every flower closes and hangs Imply down. As the sun sets, the En- dymoin plant awakes expectant of the moon. The dropping .calyxes raise themselves and slowly expand their flowers; 1t visibly ceases to droop and fade, and the plant which almost died by day is adorned anew. It's sister. the red Lychnis, shines by day, and Is called the diumna, but this white one has long left the beaten ancestral path and has become vespertina.
 As it opens small flies appear and visit 1t; the calyx is of that reddish hue which they approve. The surface which attracts flies shows the same dull red in it's leaves It IS not rarity. but few have seen it's blossoms opened.
