hood was spent near her home and
many friends has said. she had no
enemies. Her ambition to be independ-
emit and self-supporting carried her to
iou u po'i impair jared She e was coascien
tious and painstaking in her work, and
ever manifested Kindness toward all.
On Sept. l, 1882 she was united In
marriage to Fayette McMullen OAR
nell, and removed from her native town
to Richmond, where she had spent the
remainder Of her happy married life.
rshs was always KS a loving. faithful wife
panion and family were ever first in
her mind denying herself. that they
might have.
During her last sickness, which last
ed only a week, she showed a patient
resignation to the Will of God and a
confidence that all was well. She
1onged to live for the sake of the dear
day of February, 1920, being 55 years
and l day old. She leaves husband,
two daughters, two sons. 8 grandchild-
rem, one sister and two brothers, who
are bowed down with grief
Nothing is sufficient in this sad hour
to appease the anguish of a great grief
err the broken hearted today does give
comfort, and gently beckons the tear
blinded eyes from the scenes Of earth
to the eternal home where there is no
more pain or death and the loved one
is happy with her Savior.
n precious one from us has gone
A voice loved is still,
A place Is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
God in His wisdom, has recalled
The boon His love had givNn
And, though the body slum $ here,
The soul is safe in Heaven =
We loved her, yes, we loved her
But angels loved her more,
And they have sweetly called her
To yonder shining shore
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said: Come"
And with farewell just spoken
She calmly entered home.
The home circle is broken
For Mother-has gone
And left her dear husband
And children to mourn.
But If we are true to the trusts that
are given
We will meet her again
In the beautiful Heaven.

I'm Aero Club Circular
Suspended Governor Said to
Have Used Wrong Tactics
in Fighting Merger

A circular signed by twenty officers
and governors of the Aero Club Of
America was mailed yesterday to the
members of that organization, in which
it was charged that Henry Woodhouse,
the suspended governor, had used I'M
fair tactics in fighting the plan to
merge the club with the American Fly
ing Club
Notwithstanding the fact that Fly
ing' IVES the official publication Of
the club" the statement reads, "Mr
Moodhouse took an unfair advantage
OF his position as its editor to print his
charges in full, with comments, in the
August number, which, at the expense
OF the club, was sent to the members
of the club, in an effort to force his
individual will upon his fellow gov
errors and the members of the club.
II was most unfair on his part to print
his charges without affording us an
opportunity of likewise printing an
sswers thereto. However, he has had
his day in court, and after full hear
ing the court has decided against him )"
The circular urges the members to
send in their proxies to the board of
governors. so that the merger can be
assured of success at the special meet

DOUKH0BOUR MAY
 NOT BE ADMITTED

| Washington. February 2o.-(Special)- The labor department, judging from 8 statement by John w. Abercrombie, for mer president of the University of Ala bama, who is acting Secretary of Labor, l looks askance at the desired admission into the United States of Canadian farm CTS of a religious sect known as Douk- hobour.
 While the department makes no ad- verse ruling in advance. it declares the necessity of this sect presenting itself to immigration officers at the American bor- der and there taking it's chancs for favor able action. Dr. Abercrombie states, how evcr that certain members of this sect who previously sought admission were re- jected.
 Frank w. BoyiSin of Mobile has been active in securing the opinion of the de-
 partment, for it is understood that mem ners of this sect in great numbers were preparing to settle on 25,000 acres of land
 T South Alabama, in counties contiguous 10 Mobile The fact that these people are excellent farmers and fruit growers ap-
 pealed to MT. Boykin. Nevertheless Dr.
 Abercrombie expresses doubt that they
 would become good citizens. He declares that the Doukhobours are Russians of the anarchistic persuasion to the extent that they do not believe in government
 that they do not believe in fighting and
 will not fight, and that, being vege-
 larians, they will eat no meat He adds
 lfat periodically they make pilgrimages
 in accordance with religious rites, and
 that on these pilgrimages men,, women and children divest themselves of all clothing.
 He therefore doubts that they would
 fit in" with the conventional customs
 and habits of South Alabamians Mir
 Boykin is coming to Washington next
 week further to inquire into the handi-
 caps respecting the admission of these
 people.

HEARST KNOCKS DOWN HIS MAN OF STRAW

Washington, February 20.-(SpeciaI)- William Randolph Hearst, in applying for an injunction restraining the United States shipping board from selling thirty former German vessels until the condi- tions of sale had been approved by con- stituted authority, set up, with elabo- rate preliminaries and wide publicity. a man of straw, and proceeded with the art or Dempsey to knock him down again
 The shipping board. according to it's chairman, John Barton Payne, called for bids on the ships in question, the finest of their kind in the world, including in their number the Vaterland. the George Washington, Kronprinzessin CeciIie, Amerika- Kaiser Wilhelm, President Grant and Kronprinz Wilhelm, but had no intention of accepting the bids unless they were meritorious, and unless ap- proved by constituted authorities.
 But Mir. Hearst. proceeding through his newspapers, represented MT. Payne as a former attorney for Wall street interests endeavoring to dispose of these ships valued at 800, 100000 to an Anglo Wall syndicate for $2S,00o,0oo. He discarded MT Payne's statement that all ships sold. were disposed of under condition that they would be sailed under the American flag, and in trade routes designated by the shipping board, by declaring off-hand that Wall street and Great Britain wou:1 find a way, in the immediate future, to set aside such thrilling obstacles.3
 Before the court Mir. Hearst was repre- scented by distinguished counsel. including Joseph w. Folk, erstwhile governor of Missouri, and attorney for . Egyptians seking relief from "English oppression,~ Gen. Samuel T..

 Washington, February 3o-(Special.)-A republican Congress, so economical in an election year as to suffer the criticism O. many real statesmen, has done the marvellous thing of creating an office and filling it with a democrat.
 The office is that of special House mes senger. and it pays s125 per month plus 1.-the generous bonus received by all clerks. The democrat selected is James Clark, ida
 The appointee is a very venerable and lovable gentleman, and he has served for many years as a special policeman The duties of this position were too arduous, and the republicans permitted hIs eiec- tion to softer, though an equally unnec- essary. position.
 Today MT. Clark is thanking Represen- tatlve Blanton of Texas and Represen- tative Upshaw of Georgia for his ap- pointment These soGtherners made speeches in his behalf, and the reasons cited by them so completely swayed the judgment of the House that it voted generously despite the politics of the man at issue.
 MT. Blanton said 'Mr. Speaker, it is an extraordinary circumstance when any man appreciates attention paid to his wife by some other man. But l am sure that there is not a married member of this House who sat in the Sixty-fifth Congress who does not highly appreciate the cour- teous attention paid to his wife by Mir. Clark in finding her heats in the gallery" To this MT. Upshaw, the Georgia twhirl- wind,'' added his dulcet note: Mir. Speak
