Court of Appeals sustaius Suffrage.

Hopes of opponents of women's suf-
frage were blasted Tuesday, SO far as
Mary land courts are concerned, when
Judge Offutt delivered an opinion in
the Codrt of Appeals, affirming the
right of women to register and vote.
Application for registration was
made 10y two women, Mrs. Caroline S.
Waters and Mrs. Mary D. Randolph,
the latter colored, in the Seventh Pre-
cinct OF Eleventh ward, of Baltimore
city, and their right to registration
was protested by Oscar Lesser, who
brought the test case, individually,
and as representative OF the Home De-
Tense League. Powerful forces arrayed
against women's suffrage united to
break down the amendment.
The Court upheld the procedure by
which the case was brought to its at
tention.

Agricultural Notes.

We have no facilities for storing
wheat, but we can get together and
ship our wheat in carload lots and
thus save several dollars on our crop.
We can store our wheat in the
elevators at Baltimore for a small
charge that will not be as much as the
toll taken by the rats OF Charles. II
we cannot thresh our wheat Immediate
ly, it will pay us big interest on our
time to stack It carefully.

IN MEMoRIAM

In sad remembrance of my daughter,
IRENER AGNES BROOKS, who de.
parted this life June 81, 1921.
The month of June once more is here
To us. the saddest OF the year,
Because it took from us away,
My dear daughter, one year ago,
today.
Never one moment forgotten,
Never shall memory fade,
For sweetest ties will ever linger
AROUND the grave where she is laid.
She fought the fight, she kept the faith.
Her fame shines brigh. and etear.
Her memory lives in all our hearts
Which will hold it ever dear.
A loving sister from US has gone,
A voice We loved is still,
place is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be filed.
Nobly at her post she fell
My sister, kind and true;
Beloved by all who knew her,
And kind to all she knew.
Sleep on, dear daughter; in Heaven,
rest;
We all loved you dearly, but God
loved you best.
tie sent an angel and took you away;
we are all still praying to meet you in
Heaven some day.
BY HER MOTHER AND SISTERS.
In loving remembrance of my dear
husband, JOHN ROBERT BUTLER, who
died at his home near Berry Saturday,
May 18th, 1921, after long suffering
of tuberculosis. He bore his suffering
with Christian fortitude to the last.
He leaves to mourn his death, a
wifes three daughters, two sons, two
sisters, one brother, and host of rel
atives and friends.
The loss of this good man is severely
felt by his family.
His precious footsteps are still,
But when God sent his power, he bowed
unto His will
He lived for many years on Mr.. viii.
lie Willett's farm, near White Plains.
Recently he moved to Mr.. Robert Rob-
inson's farm, near Berry, and only
lived a few months.
He was well known colored man,
and we'll liked by all who knew him.
He died in the prime of his life, be.
ing only 50 years of age.
His funeral took place Monday, Mag
goth, at st. Paul's NJ. E. Church, near
White Plains.
His pall-bears we're Messrs. Stephen

SOUTHERNER HELD
 FOR KILLING MEN
Charged With Staying Alleged Peons II Bodies Recovered By Au-
 thorities Thus Far.

Monticello, Ga, March Estate authorities were planning today to push their investigation of alleged peonage practices in Jasper and New ton counties following the recovery Of two more bodies of negroes from the Alcovy river here making a total of II bodies found since the authori- ties began an investigation of peon- age and murder charges against John Williams. d Jasper county farmer The last two bodies found yesterday were chained together and weighted down with rocks and iron precisely as were the first three previously re- covered from the river.
 Appointment of Attorney Gen. Denney to take charge of peonage investigation into the two counties was being considered today by Governor Dorsey at the request of Solicitor Campbell of Newton county. Follow ing coroners verdict yesterday at the inquest over eight of the bodies, declaring the slain negroes met death at the hands of Clyde Manning, a negro employed by Williams and naming Williams as an accessory, Judge Park of the Ocmulgee circuit was awaiting orders from the gover- nor today to call a special term of the Jasper county superior court and
 bring tho two men before grand jury.
 Manning. who led the authorities to where the bodies were recovered, declared in confession that the II negroes, five of whose bodies were found buried on the Williams plan tation Saturday and three previously in the Alcovy river, were slain, five at his own hand with an axe, in or der to prevent them from testifying in peonage charges against Williams.

FIREBUGS ALARMING
 LONDON CITIZENS
Scotland Yard Organizes Flying Squadron to Scour City for r
 These MiScreantS.

London, March 2S.--A campaign of incendiarism in various parts of the country is assuming such proportion that the authorities of Scotland Yard are mobilizing fleet of motor cars and lorries to rush men to any point where there is call for their serv- ices. This plan is similar to one adopted here recently when many in- cendiary fires were set in London.
 The Evening Standard asserts that further Sim Fein plots to destroy farm buildings on the outskirts of London have been discovered. Special detectives were posted last night out side of government buildings and No. 10 Downing street, the official home of Premier Lloyd George. and special precautions were taken by the Bank of England. -s.+-

STILLMAN CASE IS
 MORE COMPLICATED
Wife Said to be About to Name Sec ond Wonlan-Both Sides Re-
 ported Weary.

New York, March 2s.-The shock that Mrs. Anne Urquhart Potter Still man administered to her husband and his attorneys by filing counter charges against James A. Stillman's action for divorce, naming Florence Lawlor Leeds, the chorus girl, is to be followed by another set of aff1davits from Mrs. Stillman.
 Just what the nature of this second motion by the wife of the banker will be is a mystery. From one source comes the hint that it will have to do with another woman. Another re- port says it will have to do with Guy Stillman. the boy whose legal status is the real contention.
 Further speculation has it that it will be the first owe by either side to ask the court to issue discontinu- ance orders. It is more than mere rumor that the lawyers on both sides have reached the stage where they are willing to get together and ask the court to call the whole thing off This interpretation of the coming mo- tion from Mrs. Stillman's side of the case is that Mrs. Stillman's lawyers are to make the break toward discon- tinuance and that the divorce fight will be over so far as New York is concerned.
 Unless there is a change in plans ii is considered likely that Mrs. Stillman will take up her temporary abode in Nevada, or in the state of Washing ton, and begin action for divorce that will not be contested.
