MARRIAGE FOLLOW8 TRAGEDY.
L. C. Edenfield and Miss Carter Were
United After Tragedy.
(From Tuesday** Daily.) *
Another and entirely new chapter
in the sensational development of
Miss Leffle Carter and L. C. Eden-
field, at Millwood, last Wednesday,
which, it is alleged, resulted in the
shooting causing the death of one
man and the probable fatal wounding
of another, came this morning when
relatives of the couple formally an
nounced the couple's marriage. The
tragedy put an end to the attempt of
the couple to • elope.
Following the announcement of
their marriage a report states that
the young groom will surrender him
self to the officers this week and
stand trial on the charge of being im
plicated in the Wiling.
In the shooting, which, it Is charg
ed, resulted from an effort of rela
tives to thwart the elopement, Emory
Wilson, son of D. A. Wilson, was
killed and A. J. Little was probably
fatally wounded.
John W. Carter, who, according to
the post-mortem statement of Emory
Wilson, fired the shot that resulted
In Ms diaih. was arrested and is
being held for the action of the
grand Jury.
Relatives of Miss Carter objected
to her marriage with Edenfield be
cause of her youth, she being not
older than 15 years, and not -for any
prejudice or ill feeling toward Eden-
fleld. It Is said that Miss Carter was
sent to the home of her brother, J.
W. Carter, at Kirkland, to attend
school, thinking that it would be
best for her to be away from young
Edenfield, whose home was near
Bickley.
A party of young men, it is report
ed, was formed to help the prospect
ive groom secure possession of his
brlde^to-be, and make a runaway
match of it. The attempt resulted
in the shooting affray in which the
two young men were wounded.
Miss Carter was taken from the
home of J. W. Carter at Kirkland
during Mr. Carter’s absence. Word
got to Pearson to Mr. Carter and. par
ties made efforts to stop the run
away.
John Carter, who, it is charged,
fired the shot that killed Wilson Vast
Wednesday, has made a statement,
it is reported, that he shot in self-
defense as Wilson fired upon him
first. A special term of Coffee coun
ty superior court may be called to

Women Drunk and Flflhtlnfl.
The new drink among the negroes,
known as "Three Minutes to
Twelve.'' seems to be having a pretty
bad effect upon some of the women.
A number of arrests have been made
among them for fighting and curs
ing. and this morning there were
three in the city prison to answer to
the charge before Recorder Varne-
doe. One of those arrested yester
day was Julia Dudley, who has “been
there before many a time.’’ Two
were arested this morning on Florida
avenue for being drunk and fighting.
Both negroes denied their guilt, but
each said the other was guilty.
. ain't done nothing,” they said,
"but she did. She was sho' quarrel

cer Hill arested the women on a
complaint of neighbors.
(From Tuesday’s Dally.)
Secretary Newman of the Harvest
Home Carnival Association, has
ranged for the exhibition of the fam
ous miracle painting, the Shadow of
the Cross. ' hat created such a furo:
of comment at the Jamestown exposi
tion, and at other places where it
has been seen by the public.
Examined by scientists, artists and
theologians, it still remains one of
the unexplained mysteries of the age.
In the Shadow of the Cross was
painted by Henry Hammond Ah!
who studied and painted In the 'art
centres of the 'Old World for many
years, devoting his talents mainly
general subjects.
In September. 1896, he returned
America, his native land, and estab
llshed his studio In a New England
city, where for some time he painted
principally portraits and landscapes,
Acting under the Influence of some
friends, he turned his attention
religious subjects, among others,
commenced painting a full length
figure of Christ, his object being
produce an ideal portrait of the
Christ-man. At first he did not suc
ceed in attaining his Ideal; and the
canvass stood a source of trouble
and vexation to him.
All in rain, however, until one day
the artist was suddenly Impressed
with the realization that he had at
last conceived the Idea sought after.
Immediately rising, he painted the
wonderful countenance of Christ
which is seen In this painting.
Not long afterwards, the artist hav
ing to go to his studio at night for
some sheets of music, was astounded
to discover on entering, that his pic
ture could be distinctly seen In the
dark, and that Christ appeared to be
walking in pale moonlight, while
above and behind could be seen
cross.
His first Impression wee that the
moon was shining through an open
window: upon the picture, and .that
the''cross was'a shadow^ Ho sot»
discovered a strange cross, in connec
tion with this picture and as he had
used only well-known pigments, he
soon realized that the strange qual
ity of his picture was beyond his
power to explain. He was so pro
foundly Impressed that he refused to
finish It, and the picture remains un
finished to this day.
Officer Killed a Mad Dog
There was a mad dog scare In Val
dosta last night about midnight, or
a little before, a pointer dog making
his appearance on the streets suffer
ing with the rabies. The dog attack
ed everything that came In sight and
Is said to have bitten a number of
dogs near the city, it having come
in from the country around.
The dog woto a badge of Moultrie
and probably came from that city, as
no one seemed to know the animal.
Officer Presley got after,. It and
shot the animal near the McKey
building. Later In the night Officer
Jacobs came along and found the
dog still alive. He ended Its suffer
ings by shooting It again.
Taft may get as many votes In
Georgia as Yancey Carter received,
but we doubt. Georgians do not like
"my policies.”
Col. iC. P. Goodyear Coming.
Col. C. P. Goodyear, of Brunswick,
will deliver an address in the court
house here next Friday night on the
Issues of the day. Col. Goodyear Is
a republican and will speak in the
Interest of Judge Taft for preslden
He Is an enterprising citizen of
Brunswick and is quite an attractive
speaker.
He will be given a cordial hearing
by many Valdostans, who will walk
up to She polls next Tuesday and vote
with all of the emphasis possible
against Judge Toft, because they be
lieve that he Is not only the candi
date of an Intensely sectional party,
but that he Is an exponent of the
policies of about the biggest fraud
and most exquisite hypocrite that the
political opportunities of this country
has ever developed.
Wide Range of Temperature.
The most remarkable thing about
the weather we are having these
days Is the wide range of tempera
ture. There Is a variation of from
thirty-five to forty-five degrees near
ly every day. Yesterday It varied
*thlrty-e!ght degrees, the lowest tem
perature being 48 and the highest
86. Monday of last week showed the
widest range of the year, or forty-five
degrees. It ranged from 45 degrees
In the morning to 90 degrees in the
middle of the day.
Our fleet has left Japanese water
Intact, but the Japs probably have a

No sense in running from one doctor to another! Select
the best one, then stand by him. No sense either in trying

to it Ask your doctor about Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for
throat and lung troubles. Sold for nearly seventy years.
No alcohol in this cough medicine. J7c:Ayer Co , Louxlt, KfeH.
Why try this thing, that thing, (or your constipation? Why not Mick to the
old reliable family laxative—Ayer’s nils? Ask your doctor if he approves this advice.
