COL. FITE HEADED
FOR CENTURY MARK
To The Banner:

To The Banner:
In your issue of last Friday, think
it was, was a notice of the death Of
/ Col Hume R. Fields, in which the
writer said that Col Fields was the
last Confederate colonel from Tennes-
see. In that statement he made a mis-
take. There is at least one other Con-
federate colonel living, namely Col.
John A. Fife of Lebanon, Tenn, who
was Colonel of the Seventh Tennessee
regiment and commanded the regi-
ment from March, 1863, up to and
including the fight at Gettysburg,
when he was captured, and was in
prison from that time until March,
1865
Col. Fife was born on February 10,
1882, and will be 90 years old on the
10th of next February, and is still
hale and hearty and active as 16
year old child. He has made no ar
rangements to leave this country I'M
til he reaches 100 years of age, and
on that date he expects to drink some
peach brandy made in 1845 by Mr..
Austin and given to Col. Fife in 1888,
by Mr.. Austin's daughter, who was II
years of age.
Colonel Fite has the bottle labeled
to be drunk by him when he is 100
years of age, and if unfortunately he
should die before that date to be
drunk by his most worthy next of kin
when he should be 100 years old.
Respectfully,
r. X. MILLER,
Lieut.. Co. D, 7th Tenn. Reg, Lebanon
The above news article concerning
Col. John A. Fife was taken from the
June 21st issue of the Nashville Ban
ner, and since Col. Fite lived in Car
thage for many years prior to his re-
movaL to Lebanon the article relating
to his good health and happiness will
be read with great pleasure by
hundreds of friends throughout this
section. Col. Fite is president of the
Smith County Bank of this city, and
he retains his citizenship in this
county by coming to Carthage and
casting his vote in all elections. Re
Gently Col. Fife came to Carthage to
attend the sessions of the District
Conference of the M E. Church and
one of the interesting features of the
conference was the religious exper-
fence given by Col. Fite Here's hop
ing he himself may drink that peach
drip"

SUDDEN HALT
IN P0NZI CASE
To Determine Whether the
Trial Was Legally
Begun
CASE POSTPONED
TO NEXT MEETING
The Defendants Attorney
Claims Action Has Been
Made Null

Boston, May 27.--Trial of Charles
Ponzi in the state courts while he is
federal prisoner was suspended to-
day to enable his counsel to confer
with Attorney General Allen and Fed
eral Judge Hale on the question of
whether it was legally begun yester-
day. The doubt developed was strong
enough to cause the case to be post
poned until next Tuesday when Judge
Hale will take it up again.
The question came on the conten-
tion by Ponzi's counsel that their ap-
peal from Judge Halls decision denying
their habeas corpus petition acted au-
tomatically as a stay on all proceed
ings. Judge Hals. in granting an appeal
had stipulated that no stay of the
state proceedings should result. He in
dicated to-day that because of the
question which had arisen over his or
der granting the appeal, il. left Ponzi
no recourse but to stand trial. To this
William H. Lewis of counsel replied
that he could file petition for injunc-
tion every day and make continual
postponement necessary.
To-day's proceedings were preeipitat
ed by request on Judge Hale from
the attorney general for withdrawal
of the appeal. over night consideration
having led him TO question whether the
states right to try Ponzi for larceny
under existing circumstances was en-
tirely clear He had understood, he
said, that Attorney Lewis by his ap.
peal was willing to let the question of
the legality of the proceedings rest
with the appeal itself. Instead, it de
veloped that Mr. Lewis contention was
that the proceedings begun in the state
court were null because of the auto
matte provisions of the law suspend
ing all proceedings when appeals are
taken in habeas corpus cases.
If his point were accepted by the
higher court il might make void all
prosecution Of Ponzi By the state.
The federal sentence of the former
promoter is one of five years for using
the mails to defraud, while the many
indictments in state courts charging
larceny from his investors would eS-
pose him TO multiple sentences extend
ing over many years.
