After the shooting the negro hurried
to the home of j A. Winfrey Jr., who
owns the plantation adjoining the SeY-
mour place on the West and was ar
rested by Mr.. Winfrey and held for the
sheriff until he was notified and had
time to go after the prisoner an hour
or two after the shooting. Brooks was
placed in Jail here but was held only
few hours when Sheriff Jordan left by
automobile for Memphis where he
placed his prisoner in the Shelby county
Jail.
Feeling has been intense here since
the sad afray and according to rumors
there have been evidences of an attempt
to secure the prisoner and summarily
punish him. The sheriff, however
eluded the indignant citizens and reach
ed Memphis safely with his prisoner.

acted as ushers. Mrs. C. w. Crawford
rendered the beautiful strains Of the
wedding march, and entertained the
large gathering of people who filled the
church before the arrival of the we'd
ding party.
The bride wore a blue suit and carried
a bouquet of lilies of the valley and
bride 8 roses, entering upon the arm of
her father who gave her away. They
were preceded to the altar by the maid
of honor who was dressed in a gray
tailored suit and carried bouquet of
LaFrance roses.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Stone of this
city and during her residence in Som
erville has made many friends among
the younger set where her affable and
gentle ways have won the warm esteem
of large circle of friends.
The groom is son of Capt. H. C,
Norman of this city and has grown to
manhood right among our people. 1t
can be truly said that there is no more
sterling character among the young
men of this community than he. He is
graduate of Vanderbilt University law
school and is associated with bis father
in the practice of law at the bar of this
city. His entire life among the people
here commends him as worthy of the
high esteem in which he is held and the
splendid confidence which his friends
impose in him.
The wedding which was a most beau
tiful one is but one of the indices which
point to useful life for these two
splendid young people and they have no
more earnest we'll wisher than is the
writer of these lines.
Immediately after the wedding cefe-
mony the bridal party left Somerville
for trip of few days, after which
they will return to Somerville to make
their home.

R. L. Day and P.W. Hawkins
Killed by Negro.

On last Monday night occurred one
of the most deplorable tragedies which
Fayette county has ever suffered. R.
L. Day, one of the leading planters and
business men and best citizens was shot
thru the body with shot gun at short
range and was instantly killed, P. W..
Hawkins was shot with a Winchester
rifle in the back and lived but a few
minutes, and LIN. Carter. another prom
inent planter Of this vicinity, was shot
in the abdomen with shot gun, but
his wounds are not considered danger
GUS by Drs. Boals, Morris and Albright
who attended him.
Tom Brooks who lived on the Sey-
mour place four miles north of Somer-
vile and joining the plantations of R.
L. Day and l.. N. Carter created
trouble recently, beat his wife un-
mercifully, and left to reside with
another woman. He made frequent
threats of white people and has been in
several scrapes with negroes. The
wife of Brooks called on Mr.. Day for
help and the party named with several
others went to the Brooks house on the
Seymour place which is operated by
Mr.. Day on Monday night with the in
tention, so it is said of making Brooks
leave the plantation. He was directed
by the party to send the woman with
whom he had taken up out of the house
which he did, and as soon as she was
out he began firing from the darkness
within the house with double barrel
shot gun, the first shot taking effect in
the abdomen of Mr.. Carter. The next
shot fired killed Mr.. Day and when Mr..
! Hawkins stopped to pick up the body
of Mr.. Day the negro, having no more
shells for his shot gun, picked up his
Winchester rifle and fired one shot into
Hawkins back, which feled him to the
ground and he died soon afterwards.
The dead bodies were not recovered
for several hours. 1t IS said that the
negro woman followed to Brooks after
Hawkins fell telling him to come on
that We've got them alp. Mr..
Carter was quickly carried 20 his home
a mile away and the physicians named
above were summoned and arrived
shortly in automobiles and dressed his
wounds which they think not serious.

 At tho time when the application was made for patent to this claim, along with fifteen others which com pose the entire group located by these men, the Juneau land office held a charge of fraud against the claims, and with the exception of the Freemont claim, held that no mine had been opened.

Christmas, the festival observed in the Christian church on the 25tn day of December is in commemora- tionof the birth of Jesus Christ. No certain knowledge of his birthday existed and the date was not fixed until the establishment Of the first churches. Probably England makes more of Christmas than any other country. Everybody joins in the festivities. Members Of families which for the whole year have been far separated come home for Christ mas. h England the universal Christmas bird has been the peacock. The boar's head Is also typical in the country. The large Nule log burns brightly and it's warmth and light is radiated from every beamin

WHY THERE ARE NO MAN
 ANGELS

The Ceutralia Hub has often Wor- ried about the absence of man angels" in the pictures and paint iugs. and after some mye5tiga- tion it gives the reason for the dis crimnation to it's readers:
 Always was a bit puzzled as to why the picture books and artists and story-teIlers always depicted an angel as something with form and face Of feminine fetchingness, sur rounded by snowy wings of wOndrous winsomeness, and in an attempt to get at the bottom of the puzzle ] started out iu the Serlock Holmes ing business on my own hook, and found out that when the church needs a new carpet the pastor calls on the Ladies Aid Society for it, and when the deacons get behind with the pastors pay check they cal on the Ladies Aid Society, and when the mortgage on the place of worship falls due it is the Ladies Aid Society that comes to the rescue and beats the sheriff out of a job. and on sunday when the pastor goes into the pulpit to point the way to the land of angels and perpetual life he,usuaIly faces an audience of mostly women, and the mid-week meetings are the same thing, only more so, and l have de- duced that the reason no one paints a mQn-angel is because there ain't no such animal, and now what pug zIes me is what they are going to do with the men preachers"

to visls the country seat of some squire or lord of high position. In the morning all the household at tends church and sings, Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men," On this day all people are of the same rank; there is no class distinction. When they are all gathered in the great hall, they joke, tell stories play games, in which all the old people join and live their young lives over. The Christmas dinner is served with great ceremony, the head butler bringing in the bOar's head on a silver platter.

Altogether Q day thus celebrated Is one of long remem- bfa.ce. DeyonsbIre, England, not

 CT and his son stand beneath the
 oldest and best apple tree, both
 b ling a jug of cider, and sing
 folk songs. After passing the elder
 around to the audience, they betake
 themselves home to a good supper
 and much merry-making. Long ago. in Merry England" one of the joys
 of the children on Christmas morn ing was going about from friend to
 fri nd singing happy carols and
 greeting all whom they met with
 "A Merry England to yOu!" This
 custom is still kept up n a few
 parts of England. It Is from old lIotker England, Chat we get our cheey greeting. In Germany the
 Christmas tree is the chief joy of
 the children. They think that when Eve ate the forbidden apple
 the leaves of the tree shriYeled
 and turned into green needles; al-
 So the bark and whole tree be
 came a dark green. Hence the
 origin of the Christmas tree. In Belgium the children hang up their
 stockings on Christmas Eve and at the first peep of day the next morn ing are out of bed to see what
 gifts are left for them. In France, the little people, instead of hang Ign up their stockings, place their shoes before the fire place. And
 in Holland the children are al
 ways sure of a happy Christmas, for that is the country from which santa Claus halls under the name
 of Kris Eringle. The children of Sweden and Denmark do not depend
 on santa Claus to distribute their gifts; but bundle them up in all sorts of queer bundles, some times covering them with hay, sometimes cotton or wool and sometimes strips of different col
 ored cloth. Then they start out bright and early Christmas morning

THEORIES OF TRADE

The marked and singular char acteristjc of the present admmistra- ton, in it's contempt for what the old law writers called any plain, speedy and adequate remedy" for existing evils, is Illustrated anew in the recommendations of Secretary Redgield for laws to prevent the "dumping" of foreign goods upon this country at the end of the pres ent war,
 It may be pointed out that when MT. wilson was a candidate for president, and when 1Ir Redfield was supporting him for that posi- tion, both gentlemen were endeay- bring to convince the country that a low tariff was the precise thing needed to bring Us to the highest degree of prosperity. Both descapted at length on the great advantage of the consumers Of the country which would come when under the benign influence of a freer trade tariff, they could pur- chas foreign goods at prices much cheaper than it would be possible for the American manufacturer to produce them.
 Now, fortunately for the coun- try, both of these gentlemen have temporarily thrown their pre-elec- tiou theories overheard and recog- nlze the imperative necessity of pre- serving the American market as far as possible for the American pro ducer. But they have not reached the point when they are willing to confess fully that their past tariff theories were mistaken, Their ob- Iecticn to the tariff in the pas, was that it prevented dumping, which ;bey thought desirable. Now they recognize that dumping would be an evil, but refuse to turn to the tariff as the remedy although it was the efficient remedy of the past, as well as the feeder of the treasury. They will feed the treas ury with direct taxes upon the pro duets of American industry and try to prevent dumping by the em- pirical remedy of attempting to extend our antitrust laws into for eign countries, a remedy impos- sible os application and of doubt ful value at best.-seattle P.-L,
