TARPAUL|N HIDES
NEGRO EXECUTION
ADAMS SHERIFF AND SuPERVIS.
oRS DECIDE ON STRICT
PRIVACY.

-Natchez, Miss, Dec. %. - On ac-
count of the unpleasant notoriety
caused by a recent public hanging in
Mississippi, P. w. Mulvihill, Jr.. sher-
iff of Adams county is exerting him,
self to make the execution of Ed.
Walker, negro murderer, as private
as possible.
Walker will be hanged in the Jail
yard in Natchez some time today. The
exact hour has hot been announced.
When the black cap is adjusted on
Walker and his hands and knees
bound, the scaffold and trap will be
covered entirely with taupaulin; not
even the sheriff himself will see him
the moment the trap is sprung.
When the question arose as to
whether the execution should be pri-
vate, or public, every member of the
board of supervisors unanimously eX-
pressed themselves in favor of pri-
vate execution.
Walker, as is the case with most ne
groes before execution, has professed
religion. He has been attended by
ministers of not only his own race
but white as we'll. One of the white
ministers who went to see Walker was
attended by choir Of white singers.
The negro was convicted of killing
his wife and mother-in-aw at Beverly,
this county. The chief witness for
the state was a siX-year-old child.

SALVATION ARMY
NEEDS ASSISTANCE
CAPT. M'AFEE, IN AN APPEAL FOR
CHRISTMAS FUNDS TODAY,
TELLS WHY.

Donations for the Christmas dinner
to be given to the poor of Hattieshurg
at noon Saturday, by the Salvation
Army, are coming in slowly, according
to Capt j. W. McAfee, in charge of
the local branch of the Army, and a
second appeal to the women of Hat
tiesburg to assist by sending in pies,
cakes and any kind of food, either
cooked or uncooked, was issued to-
day
Cast off clothing also is wanted.
In his appeal, Capt McAfee says:
"The time for doing this work and
making preparations for the dinner is
very short. The reason we did not
begin it sooner was because we ex-
pected our successors to arrive here
any day, and we did not want to in
terfere with their plans. No success
sors came, however. On the contrary,
we received orders from divisional
ueduqudItS IS W ItHidll until AFTER
Christmas.
"We will give a spread dinner at
the old Lomo theatre on Front street
at 1890 o'clock Saturday We will
thank the contributors if they will
send their gifts TO our office over this
building, as we will be too busy ar
ranging for other things to call for
all of them.
eve want the poor of Hattiesburg
to be looked after this Christmas, and
we hope the entire city will help us
in this work"

BROTHER DEAN HAS INVENTED
A SELF-FEEDING, SELF
MILKING cow.

Dear Sir: I have been greatly
alarmed about this great crop diversi-
hcatiOn movement and have written
some of the great editors to go slow
on it, or they might make diversified
farming so alfred attractive they
might get some of the Bankers or
Railroad magnates, or even some of
the Editors, including themselves so
deluded as to try the thing. And
now, 10 and behold, l see they have
you fired up to try it on caterpillar,
tadpoles, elephants, &c. You and I
being good friends I hope, after
reading that I became more alarmed.
I fear you might not succeed with
that small diversiication, so I have
a novel scheme and perhaps we can
cooperate and both get vastly rich.
I tell you right now l have got Lor-
ing Brown beat to q fragile on a
breed of cattle, and I think my
scheme will beat Coca-Cola all to
pieces, at least it has no poison in it.
Now + tell you what your part is to
be III this scheme. You see it will
have to be advertised, so you've got
the paper and if you don't get too
busy with your elephants I think
you are the man for the place.
Details of the scheme, have been
for several years breeding up stock
of cattle to give 4 gallons of milk
per day. They invariably suck them
selves, but it only takes one-half the
mich to do them; they therefore
need no feed, so we get two gallons
clear. Talk about your 400 per cent
on LOO acre farm and be both
cred to death with 40 to SO poor
shiftless tenants.
You might begin advertising for
me right away, as l think by the
time those poor tenant farmers who
McCord & Co. got 10c for their cot
ton get able to buy some of my fine
stock l will have a supply for them.

voted husband.
One Of his greatest ambitions in
his last days was to live to see the
principles of which Thos. +. Watson
advocates prove to the people that
truth chushed to earth will rise
again.
His youngest son, Marion c. Wells,
gave up his position with the Bank
ing Company, and returned home to
be with his father in his last days
and look after his business. For
more than twelve months he has been
unable to leave his home but very
little, having suffered for a number
of years with rheumatism and later
with Brights Disease.
Mr.. Wells was 50 years old and
leaves a widow and five children.
Three sons and two daughters. Mrs.
Wells whose maiden name was Miss
Mollie f. Inman is from one Of the
best known and highly respected
families of Burke County, Ca His
three sons who survive him are:

DEATH OF GEO. D. WELLS, OF
SUNTMERTOWN. GA.

On December 10, 1914, The JEFF
fersonian and it's Editor, Hon Thos.
E. Watson lost one of their most de-
voted friends in the death of Geo.
D. Wells, known as Uncle George by
his friends, and they were many.
He was man that advocated the
principles Of which Thos. E. Watson
has been fighting for as strong as
any man in Georgia.
He was a man that we might class
as typical Watson man, and he
was not ashamed of it; but proud of
the fact he was a Watson man, and
stood for the principles which
Watson advocated. Ever since the
Nineties the enemies of Thos, e.
Watson and his publications knew to
be mute when Uncle George was
around. He had word for every
body no matter where they hailed.
Mr. Wells, or Uncle George, as
we knew him, was one Of our best
and most energetic citizens. He was
highly respected citizen, a good

Dear Sir: I wish to say that The
Jeffersonian is the grandest paper
published in the South, it seems to
be the only paper printed in the
South that tells the whole truth
about how the National Government
has gone back on the Southern
farmer. [ must confess, Mr.. Wat
son, that before my son subscribed
for your paper and I began reading
the wonderful truths, that | was
against you, which was brought about
by listening to your political enemies.
But I thank God that I have been
convinced that you are always right
and speak the truth through the
columns Of your paper. I believe in
the year 1916 through the good your
paper is doing there will be a great
political change throughout the
South. I wish to say that I would
be glad to have a chance to vote for
you for President of the United
States. I feel that you justly de-
serve just such honors. l am your
sincere friend.

Two days later he came in with

YORK CLERGYMAN, AS TO
LEO FRANK CASE.
Mr.. Walter Laidlaw, Sect'y.
New York City.

Mr.. Walter Laidlaw, Sect'y.
New York City
Dear Sirs: Your circular letter
with following names attached;
Chas. A. Eaten, James Farrar, Frank
Oliver Hall, J. Lewis Hartsock, New
ell Dwight Hills, John Hams Holmes,
William Pearson Merrill, Charles H.
Parkhurst and Junius B. Remensyn-
der, received, contents carefully
noted.
Will say in reply to same, that I
consider such action on your part
a gross insult; first to the State of
Geaorgia Of which I am a citizen,
and second to the courts both Su-
perior and Supreme who had access
to all the facts and evidence in the
Frank case, third to me personally
as law abiding citizen of the above
named State, fair minded man and
a Minister of the Gospel, living in
close proximity to the scene of the
crime and the trial, and having
through the entire course of same,
kept close tab on every development.
Should in any way indulge in the
course prescribed in your circular
letter, | would deem myself I'M
worthy the name of citizen of Geor-
gia.
No man of any nationality, indicted
for such a crime as Leo M. Frank
committed, according to the law and
testimony has ever received at the
hands of the law of this State or any
other States, fairer trial than did
he, and had he been a man without
money and influence he would have
long since paid the penalty for the
crime of which he was fairly and le-
gally convicted.
The stand that you have taken in
this case, to my mind and to the
mind of the citizenry of Georgia,
constitutes nothing short of con-
tempt of court, and under less ag-
gravated circumstances, has been SO
treated by the State of which l have
the honor Of being a citizen.
The very idea of you, a set Of men,
living in a remote State assuming
the auth GRITTY to dictate to the courts
and citizens of Georgia, and also
to the Federal courts is utterly ab-
surd. If you only knew what inAu-
ence such action on your part was
having in the State, I feel sure you
would hush.
Personally, I shall use what voice,
pen, and influence l possess to see
that the law is indicated and that
justice is melted out to the man who
took the life Of little Mary Phagan.
Yours for law and order.

BY CONGRESSMAN
Representative Moore of Penn
syIvania Speaks at Fort

A stirring address was delivered
last night at Fort Shafter by Congress-
man J. Hampton Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, speaking at the evening serv-
ice held by Chaplain William Reese
Scott of the I'd Infantry. -...
Practically the entire garrison at
Fort Shafter turned out to welcome
the congressman and to listen to and
applaud his heartfelt words in encour-
agement of and appreciation for the
soldiers in this frontier" work of the
United States army. He said in part:

on every tongue, l want to tell you
men that you are not forgotten; al
though some of you are, like myself,
5000 miles from home. The business
men of the country are thinking of
you, in a different way today than
they did a few weeks ago; the minds
that extol and prize peace are now
turning their minds to you, thinking of
you, trusting to you to maintain the
great Christian ideal: your mothers,
sisters, families, are wondering and
uttering their prayers lest you should
be called in the awful maelstrom of
war; don't think, men, that you are
