by Mr.. Bilbo, who held the cen

or more, making his usual
speech. This is the first time
the lieutenant governor has ap-
peared on the platform at this

we'll pleased with the crowd
that greeted him, numbering
according to county official
who made careful count OF
every one present, about ESQ,
and estimated about 125 voters.

WEDDING OF INTEREST.

A long expected wedding and
one Of interest to many friends
of both contracting parties was
quietly solemnized at the home
of the brides mother, Mrs. Ger
trude Davis, Tuesday at II O.
clock, when Miss Emma Pear
son Davis, a charming young
lady of Pisgah, became the bride
of E. C. Baker, of Wilburton,
Oklahoma, member of the fac
ulty of Oklahoma School of
Mines and Metallurgy. The
ceremony was read by the Rev.
Mr.. Fixes. pastor of the Bran
don M. E. church.
The wedding was solemnized
in the presence of the immedi-
ate family and unusually i'm
pressive was the service which
made one the futures of these
two popular people.
Mrs. Baker is the only daugh-
ter of the late w. f. Davis, one
of Rankin's most substantial cit
liens and a very prosperous
planter. She was reared in this
county and has always been
most popular in her immediate
circle, also in Jackson where she
has spent much of her time in
the past few years with her
aunt, Mrs. G. w. Prichard.
The bride was gowned in a
severely simple tailored costume
and in her young loneliness was
a fitting mate for the noble
young fellow whose fortunes she
is to share. Immediately after
the ceremony they left for the
home of the groom's parents.
Mr.. Baker is the eldest son of
A. G. Baker, of near Brandon.
He was for several years a mem
Der of the faculty Of Mississippi
A. & M. College, but is now To-
Gated in Oklahoma.
After a six weeks stay in Chi
cago and other points in the
north the young couple will be
at home to their friends in their
home in Wilburton, Oklahoma.

that gamble in the night, roar

yers, sharp financiers and sharp

CHARGED WITH
AN AWFUL CRIME

tNS uhbb 49, OtssuH@
| Constable Hiram Smith, of
Beat l, came to Brandon Satur-
day having in custody Major
lG. Rogers, who he turned over
| to Sheriff Robinson with nit
timus from Justice of the Peace
IJ. f. Williams for commitment
without bail on charge of MUIR
dering his 3-year old step-daugh-
ter.
| Several stories are in circula-
ton concerning the affair, but
| the mildest make it the most
heinious crime that has been
committed within the borders of
Rankin county for many years.
ISome of the neighbors claim that
Rogers whipped the child to
! death because of some infraction
of household discipline. That
| his chastisement was unmerciful
and objectionable, and that the
Inquest jury which was sum-
|moned by Justice Williams was
of the opinion that Rogers was
the direct cause of the child's
death, and that the community
was so incensed and so outraged
at the awful crime that lynching
was freely discussed and mar
rowly averted.
Others from that community,
however, say that Rogers admits
whipping the child for disobey-
| inc him, but that the chastise-
ment was not unmerciful, nor
did it in any way contribute to
its death.
! With these conflicting stories
| in circulation the editor of The
News called on the prisoner at
the county Jail yesterday, and
obtained his version of the affair,
which is in substance is as fol-
lows: That he had been mar
ried twice; that his first wife
was the mother of four children,
all of whom are living with him;
about three months ago he mar
ried his present wife, who was
the mother of the dead child,
thought to be about three years
old; he believed in administer
; ing the rod for the correction of
his own children and did SO
| freely; that as head of the house
he also controlled the little girl.
On Monday before the death of
his step-daughter he gave her a
whipping for crying. He adj
. mits that it was severe punish
ment, but that he had no idea nor
. intention of inficting permanent
injuries. He says that on last
Friday he was left in charge of
the children while his wife was
. doing some family washing; the
little girl was guilty of some in
fraction of his rules, and he a.
gain whipped her, claiming this
time to only hit her twice; and
that soon after he struck her she
became deathly sick and began
to vomit, whereupon he called
his wife, and within an hour or
! two the child was dead. He
sent to Florence for coffin and
was going after his motherin-law
himself when he was arrested
and brought to Brandon, and
placed IN Jail with a charge of
:. murder hanging over him.
Justice Williams was called to
hold the inquest, and he sum,
moned the usual number, and
after being empaneled, and hear
ing all the evidence in the case,
and the testimony of Drs. Wat
| son and White, who had been
called in to examine the child,
rendered a verdict that it came
to it's death at the hands of NJ.
G. Rogers, who had whipped it
| SO numerically that internal IN
juries had been made, and
death quickly followed.

Another motor road through Abb

south-probably Marion or Wichita
was favorably discussed. The Clay
Center motorists are willing to as
sfst in marking between that city
and Abilene. A large amount of north
and south travel would be brought
through Abilene by this plan. The
county commissioners are also to
be urged to mark the county roads.
A committee, C. M. Harger, c. F.
Bath and w. T. Triplett, was named
to work on these projects.
The club will have busy year

PUMPING OUT SPRING
MADE THE WATER MUDDY

That India-rubber water that
poured out OF the water faucets sun
day is not to be permanent COM
modify. Work was begun Sunday
morning to pump the water out OF
the big spring SO that break in It
a few feet from the bottom could
be repaired. AS a consequence m1d
at the bottom of the spring was
stirred up and sent through the
mains. Therefore a good many Abb
lene folks gasped with astonishment
when in place OF the clear water
that ordinarily .rushes out, black
fluid oozed out Of the pipes. Bow
ever, the water cleared up later IN
the day.
Work will be begun tomorrow to
fill with cement crevice which has
broken in the spring and has been
causing the waterworks department
worry for several months. Just how
long this work will take or how dil-
ficult 1t will be Is hard to say, but
the operation will be successful.
Before the cement work is done
cofferdam must be built to hold back
the river. Yesterday when the water
was pumped out until it was only
three feet in the spring, the pressure
of the river was stronger than that
of the water in the spring and asa
consequence some river water was In
the mains yesterday.

The American steamer Evelyn which

AMERICAN STEAMER SUNK BY MINE
OFF GERMAN COAST, CREW RESCUED

cabled that the steamer Evelyn and
her cargo OF cotton bound for Bre-
men "had been blown up at Bor-
kum," Just off the coast of Germany
hut that the crew had been saved.
The cause-submarine or mine
was not given in the dispatch.
After a conference with President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Am
bassador Page at London and Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin to make
an exhaustive inquiry as to the
facts.
At the German embassy was point
ed out that the accident might have
been caused by mine, as Germany,
sorely in need of cotton, would have
no object in torpedoing a vessel lad
en- with such a cargo for German
consumption.
1t virtually was conceded here
that If the cause of the accident was
proved to be mine there probably
would be no ground for diplomatic
action by the United States, as the
laying of mines is not prohibited by
any international convention now in
force.
The omission from Consul Fees
cablegram of any mention of the
cause has introduced an element Il
speculation.
