Death Sentence of the Slayer of
 Five Affirmed

Jackson, Miss, July 12.-The state supreme court today affirmed the sentence of death in the case of Chas. Marshall, convicted of the killing of Bob Miller and three members of his family at Amory, Miss, and setting fire to their home. Marshall will be executed August 20. In reviewing the case the court characterized the crime as %one of the fiendish brutally, un- paralleled in the criminal history of the state."
 The chief witness against Marshall was Pearl May Miller, IA years old, only survivor of the Miller family. She testified she saw Marshall enter the house late at night, when the vic tins were asleep. She hid behind 1 a door and then crawled into an attic from which, she said, she saw Mar shall kill her father, brother, sister and an infant of the last named, and said to be Marshall's own child. The first three were shot to death and the child was killed by blow on the head as it. crawled across the floor. Marshall she. said, then poured coal oil about the house and set fire to it.

ANOTHER VIKING SHIP.

Remembrance of the romance that
 been thrown around the lives of
 he hardy and intrepid adventure of Inc north countries come back to us
 ith the report from Copenhagen that
 X Viking ship had been discovered in X inc Bay of South Alesund, says the Stommercial-Appeal. We remember .he traditions of these Scandinavian
 3ea rovers who took their frail barks ai|p and down the shores of Europe and Rkho even dared the mystery of the Hreat uncharted sea with no other
 nide than that furnished by the sun,
 he moon and the stars. It is the
 ccond relic of the kind found in the = mt few years, and the discoveries
 nake us uncertain whether to wonder
 he more at the courage or the su- siblime waith in their own powers of sblime faith in their own powers of .Norsemen.
 21 Only few years ago Viking ship 1was found imbedded in the ice off the coast of Greenland. It was the sfource of wonder at the time that lssuch small craft, propelled entirely < by oars in the hands of it's crew,
 should have gotten so far from the
 Scandinavian home. But the discov- ffry gave plausibility to the tradition Athat the shores of America were vis- ited by these adventurous spirits from s&he north 500 years before Colum- bus sighted land in the West Indies. 3Of course these traditions are too dim And too shrouded in mist and mystery ito deprive the Italian navigator of {Any of the credit for his exploit. They Sdo give point, however, to the history Ithat the business of discovering 9America is a continuing and devel- |oping enterprise.
 Germany made the latest discovery |of America in the good year of our Lord. 1917, and, if we mistake not, 'there will be another discovery in the mild and mellow days of next Novem- her. Those who believe that the Knitted States has an immortal destiny md dutv in the matter of world peace ire guiding the ship of hope as Co., lpnbus did, regardless of the num- Alings of mutiny of those who have neither the vision to see nor the heart to fulfill sacred pledge. And we feel sure that land will be sighted on the first Tuesday after the first Mon day of next November.

CarsOn's Speech Features Orange
 Day Celebration

Belfast, July 12.-The celebration of Orangemen's day had as it's great feature the customary parade, and in addition, notable speech by Sid Ed ward Carson, Ulster unionist leader whose pronouncement on the situa- tion in Ireland was looked forward to eagerly.
 Sir Edward minced no words and the enthusiasm reached climax when he declared, in efefct that the govern ment had failed to govern Ireland and that if it could not protect Ulster the volunteers would reorganize and Ul- ster would take matters into it's own hands.
 Every hamlet, village and town in Ulster had some kind of celebration and reports tonight are that all pass ed quietly evep in Londonderry, where the two factors are represented as ready to renew fighting should the military forces relax vigilance.
 Belfast was heavily guarded by sol diers.
 Those in England who hoped that a conciliatory note might be struck in this celebration will be sadly disap- pointed. There was nothing concilia- tory from the inscriptions on the ban ners across the streeets denouncing the Sim Fein to Sir Edward Carson $ declaration that the people of the south would of their own volition have to hang those guilty of political murders before Ulster would even consider union, which the sponsors of the home rule bill have said they hoped for.

WITNESSES CALLED
BEFORE GRAND JURY
CITIZENS FROM EVERY SECTION
ASKED CONCERNING NoN.PAY-
MENT OF DOG TAX.

Witnesses from every district in the
county have been summoned to ap-
pear before the grand jury to tell
what they know concerning the nom
payment of dog taxes in their respec-
tive communities. 1t is expected that
as a result Of the investigations by the
grand jury during the next week or
two. indictments will be returned
against hundreds of Maury countians
for nonpaymcnt Of this tax.
There is an increasing popular de-
mand that the dog tax law be enforc-
ed as the value Of the law is realized.
Last year the dog tax not only paid
for all sheep killed by worthless dogs
in he county, thereby stimulating the
sheep industry, but also added hun
dreds Of dollars to the school fund OF
the county.
