THE VALDOSTA TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBERS12, 1905.
BODY OF MRS. ROGERS _
| BURIED AT OLD HOME.
Something of the Terrible Crime for
Which 8he wee Hanged on Yeeter*
day.
Hooslck Falls, N. Y. *yec. 9—The
body of Mrs. Rogers, executed at
Windsor, V'ermont, yesterday was
placed in a vault at St. Mary’s ceme
tery bore and the interment occurred
at six 'this morning in the presence
of the family The body was taken
from the train before the depot was
reached ,ln order to avoid the crowd
at the stAtlon.
8tory of her Career.
Mary Malile Rogers became a wife
at the age of sixteen, a murderess at
nineteen and was hanged when only
twenty one years of age.
She killed her young husband while
kissing and caressing him, after hav
ing secured his consent for her to
tie his hands “Just for fun."
Her case has been in court three
years .during which time she (had
twice been face to face with tho gal
lows, each time being reprlved.
It is estimated that in all her peti
tions more than half a million women
of the United States have attached
their signatures. A new petition con
taining 43,000 names was presented
Just before her execution.
In declining to stop the execution
Friday, Governor Bell said: “I know
of no law that is not as much for a
woman as it is for a man. For me
to meddle in this case would place
me as executive of the state of Ver
mont in a ridiculous position."
Mrs. Rogers cunningly planned the
deatn of her husband and fiendishly
and treacherously executed it. She
Bent for him to come to see her. They
had boon separated. She promised
to remain with him, nnd whllo she
kissed him, she tfed his hands, chlo
roformed him and rolled his body
Into the river, forging his namo to n
note In which It was stated that ho
had killed himself. It was tho hand
writing that led to tho wife’s arrest
and conviction.

Scandalous Story Told of Member of
North Georgia Conference Without
Giving any Names.
Atlanta, Oa., Dec. 9.—A report has
reached Atlanta that a well-known
and prominent minister—a member
of the Methodist conference that met
recently at Newnan—has eloped with

♦•ffort to locate tho pair It Is said
that while the conference was in ses
sion the minister referred to noti
fied Bishop Duncan that he wished
no appointment for the ensuing
year, and that In consequence of his
request none was given him. About
a week ago the minister left the
placo at which he was located, telling
his friends that he was going to one
of the smaller towns, and that In
stead he went to Atlanta, where he
drew out of a bank $800 deposited
there to his credit. About the time
he left the place at which he was lo
cated the woman in question disap
peared from her home.
The report is that the pair have
left the state, and havo gone to New
York. Tho affair has created quite
a sensation in the section of the
stato concerned, where the parties
are well known. The minister has
boon a member of the Methodist con
ference for fifteen years.

We are a race of workers.
Work requires brain, nerve, energy.
We glory in achievement.
To work and work with might and main, good
food is absolutely essential.
Although nearly every one eats soda crackers
sometime, yet there are a few people who do not con
sider their true value as an article of daily food. But
itisnowa recognized and established fact that the soda
cracker contains the most tissue, fat and muscle forming
elements of any article of food made from flour.
Great as is the value of tha common sods
cracker, yet it is small in comparison to Unoocfaf
Biscuit—the most wonderful soda cracker ever
baked, and of which nearly 400,000,000 packages
have been sold.
Uneeda Bisculti the food of power,
transmitting as they do the elements so vital to our
well-being, may in very truth be called "The Dynamo
of the American People."

San FrftbraK’Dec. 7.—Capt. A.
C. Uaker^toa^tM; steamer Raleigh,
who haa bfeen detached for several
months to study commercial and po
litical conditions in China, was a pas
senger from tho Oriont.
"It is nonsense," said Capt. Baker,
“to talk of the boycott dying out.
The commercial situation in the
south of China is absolutely at the 1
mercy of the guild. There aro 71 v-f,
these, they control trade with an
Iron hand, and they have given or
ders not to handle American goods, j
"Not only tho Australians, but the;
Japanese are also taking advantage
of the boycott to get our business.
Cotton mills arc being built in Chinn
by Japanese. With cheap labor ard
no transportation charges they are j
in a position to drive us out of the i
field. They will also develop the steel |
ore of Korea and probably the oil j
and steel business there will be ta-j
ken over by tho Japanese. [
“The only thing that could raise I
the boycott would be to rescind the j
Chinese exclusion law, and this will >
not ue done. It looks as though our j
business relations with Chlfia Were
doomed. The boycott Is /getting
worse every day there."
