 T was miserable for whole year until started on Tanlac.n he continued. 1T had stomach trouble and loss of appetite and just couldn't relish anything to eat. But the worst part of it was the mean way I felt. I was out of sorts almost all the time and I didn't have any life or energy I tried to brace up but l just couldn't do it. My work was burden and I took no interest in life.
 q heard this Tanlac talked about a lot around town and everybody said it would put new life in man so decided to try it. Well, my stomach eased after I had taken only few doses and began to take a new lease on life. took three bottles in all and now I feel well and full of life once more.

ON
 DEATHbED TELLS
 OF MURDER DONE
COnfesses to Crime 25 Years Ago for Which Another Came Near Dying on
 the GallOws

Columbia, Miss, March 10.-It was re- vealed by the sheriff's office here today
 that Joseph Beard, who died of pneu-
 monia last Sunday, aged 60,. on his farm
 near this city, confessed on his death bed,
 that 9 years ago he and two other men murdered William Buckley, in this sec
 tion, for which crime Will Purvis, who now resides in Lamar county, Mississippi escape death by hanging only because the moose about his neck slipped after the trap had been sprung.
 According to the story, Buckley and a brother, revealedd to the authorities in-
 formation concerning secret band of
 white cappers,' who operated in this
 section more than quarter of a century
 ago, and William Buckley, shortly after wards was shot to death from ambush. This was in 1892.
 1 Purvis was convicted of the murder, after sensational trial, and was sem fenced to be hanged. The execution was to be public and hundreds were present to witness. But after the trap was sprung, the moose slipped and Purvis fell from the scaffold unharmed. Many of the spectators, superstitious over the thwarted execution, induced the authorl- ties to place Purvis in jail and an appeal to the governor resulted in commutation of his death sentence to life imprison- ment Several years afterward, Purvis was pardoned.
 Beard. attaches of the sheriffs office said, first confessed his part in Buckley S murder to member of religious sect, which he recently joined in order to clear his conscience. Later when Beard was convinced he was dying Of pneumonia, the authorities were notified. Beard, it was stated, gave the names of two other
 men who he said participated with him in the murder and the authorities said they knew where to locate them, but declined to say whether any action against them was contemplated after the long lapse of years. brother of the murdered man, N. P. Buckley, lives near Columbia.

Washington Reunion Plans Are "CryStullizing" Despite Biz BLunder Asking Funds
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

it's plans of entertainment, or withdraw 1 it's invitation.
 1t is the desire of those in charge of the proposed reunion in Washington that there be no discussion of the situation. It is said that plans are rapidly cry stallizing, that the coming to Washington of the old soldiers of the south will prove 10 be an epochal event characterized by the further healing of wounds, and that the old soldiers themselves will be happy in beholding the capitol and other public buildings. Equestrian statues of federal soldiers whom they overthrow in hun dred battles will also make their appeal, it is probable.
 At any rate, the committee is again at work, and the indications are that there will be money in abundance.
 THE PLANS FAIL There is no question, however, but that the committee expected large contribu- tions from the south. Tn the first place, patriotic appeals were made through southern ewspapers-appeals which un- der ordinary circumstances would cause southern sons heartily to respond. In the second place. John Temple Graves wrote enc of his most transparent sob stories a poetioal fantasy which began with an appeal to chiva1ry and concluded with an appeal for money. But inasmuch as both plans apparently encountered failure the committee, nothing daunted, is continuing it's preparation.
 For various obvious reasons there is a question as to whether or not the re- union on this side of the Potomac will prove a success. However, between this month and June. much work will be accomplished. The publicity Committee is composed of those southern newspaper men who accepted the invitation to serve and everything, ostensibly, Is southern, including the well known railroad.

Washington, March 10.-(Special)-De spite the wave of indignation rolling in from the south because the national capi- tai is calling on the southern states to furnish money for the entertainment of Confederate veterans, plans for the re- union are. in the language of those in charge. rapidly crystallizing.'
 For the entertainment of the veterans, Congress appropriated in round numbers $2000o. Each southern state has been urged to add $1009 or more to the sum appropriated by the government. It be- gins to appear that no southern state will produce the money requested. Local ly, there is disappointment, but the southern viewboint is beginning to be recognized.
 Montgomery shocked the local commit tee. As is recalled. the citizens of that city were so indignant because the capi- tai of the nation displayed signs of weak ening in it's enthusiasm, that they in vited the veterans to gather there.
 THE BLUNDER ADMITTED
 The local committee then realized, 1t is said, that some one had blundered. It finally dawned on the committee that southern cities had in previous years shculdered the entire burden of entertain ment, and would not hesitate so to do again. As a result, the local committee is appealing to the business men of Washington to respond with patriotism. Washington invited the veterans, and the veterans, though with some misgving, accepted. It is being realized, as a result,

 Hear Highway Speaker

Huntsville, March 0-(SpeciaL) )-Field Secretary Weaver of the Washington Ma tional highway, was entertained at a banquet in the parish house by the peo- pie of Huntsville last night, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. Joseph J. Bradley was toastmaster and MT. Weaver was the only speaker. He described the details of the organization which has been formed to promote a great transcontnental automobile high way extending from Seattle to Savannah and pascing through northern Alabama from Memphis to Chattanooga. He said parks and will intersect every national highway that has so far been projected.

means tagging since these complet- ed articles have been disposed of. Already the various committees are at work on other consignments.
 The comfort bag committee have places for the one hundred and six teen completely filled ones and are working hard on another set al- though as yet they do not see the way clear to have them filled with the list of articles required. Any one wishing to fill one can call at Red Cross headquarters and leave either their check or take a bag The bags so far filled are all going to Flagstaff boys-either on the border or in the cantonments while the new ones will probably go to the men next called in the draft. We'll be ready boys and you may have the satisfaction of knowing Flagstaff filled your comfort bag.
 The Shakespeare Club, as an or ganization, has as yet done noth ing for the Red Cross but they have a plan on foot which will perhaps realize a sum sufficient to help with these bags.

Red Cross Makes Big

Shipment. ..
 Few realize the immense amount of red tape and regulations that attend the shipment of Red Cross consignments. While the three large boxes for the base hospital at San Francisco have stood ready for inspection for a week-the &C., tual work of shipping, or rather, preparation for shipment, consum- ed some little time.
 Quite interesting is it to hear Mrs. Porter, who had this work un- der her supervision, tell of the prep aration. The three boxes contained over six thousand completed arti- cles and were respectively, one of surgical gauge, one of hospital lin- en and the third of muslin surgi- calls. Each article was duly tab bed and an invoice sheet placed within of the contents of each box. The outside markings were all reg ulated as well, showing big red crosses as we'll as the usual ship ping markings.
 No little time was required to make them come under these ne- cessary specification.
 Mrs. Hemperly assisted Mrs. Por- ter in the packing as we'll as tab iating the articles on the type writer. While this shipment is Flagstaffs first, it is well to re- member that all this has been done since the 24th of July and to con- slider too that the work is by no
