Forty i'ivk white men and be
tween 1.10 and 145 negroes were
entombed in N T o. 3 coal mine at
Palos last Friday night as the re
sult of a terrific explosion. Palos
is 40 miles west of Birmingham,
and the mines are owned by the
Palos Coal and Coke Company.
Hon. \V. B. Smith, for twelve
years Clerk of the Superior Court
of Hall county, died at his home in
Gainesville last Sunday morning at
2 o’clock. He is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Hattie I.ucile
llowell, a relative of lion. Clark
Howell, of Atlanta, and six chil
dren .
Agricultural conditions are
not nearly so bad as reported just
after the recent cold spell. Cotton
has been injured to some extent in
many sections, and replanting in
some sections has been necessary,
but other crops are not thought to
have been damaged to any appreci
able extent. It is the opinion of
many that the peach crop was ben
efited by the cold weather of April.
Col. C. C. Duncan, one of the
best known and most prominent
men of Houston county, was found
dead in his bed room at liis home
in Perry Monday morning at 9
o'clock. Col. Duncan was Judge
of the City Court of Houston coun
tv at the time of liis death, was
prominent politically and socially,
and was for many years a leading
member of the baptist church of
Perry. He was 70 years of age
and leaves a family.
Erecting magnificent tomb
stones to our departed wives and
mothers, with beautiful and endear
ing inscriptions of love chiseled
thereon, show a proper feeling of
respect, but oftentimes the depart
ed ones might still be scattering
sunshine among us if words of love
had been spoken and deeds of love
performed while they were journey
ing through this vale of tears. —Ex.
The proposal for the people of
the South to erect at Washington a
monument to the “old black mam
my” is a pleasing and commenda
ble one. But we agree with the
Washington Post , that the monu
ment should commemorate “uncle”
as well as “mammy.” “Let the
two be wedded in fame,” snys the
Post, “as they were in the simple,
pure, lovable life of their probation
on earth.”—Macon Telegraph.
Two of the four negroes in jail in
Atlanta in connection with the
Druid Hills tragedy have made con
fessions implicating the whole quar
tette. In addition, the officers have
some very strong circumstantial ev
idence, and it now seems certain
that the outlaws who killed Motor
man Brown and desperately wound
ed Conductor Bryson will soon be
punished in a manner commensu
rate with the enormity of their
crimes.
Fireman William Kent, who
was thought have been seriously
injured at the time his companions
were dashed to death in the wreck
of the auto fire engine in Macon
last Friday, is now thought to be
out of danger. A subscription for
the relief of the families of the dead
and injured firemen has been start
ed, and as Macon never does things
bv halves, it is safe to predict that
the loved ones of those who met
death and injury at the post of duty
will be amply provided for.
Some ugly features have devel
oped in the murder case of W. M.
Holland, night watchman at the
Thurmond street plaat of the At
lanta Coal and Ice Company, who
was mvsteriously assassinated on
the night of April 8. Mrs. Hol
land. wife of the murdered man,
and D. R. Phillips, a railroad man.
who is married and ,has a 10-year
old child, will have to face the seri
ous charge of complicity in the
murder. Six people, all white, are
now under arrest in connection with
the crime.
Judge Andy K. Calhoun, of the
Criminal Court of Atlanta, has in
creased the price of carrying pistols
unlawfully from SSO or $75 to S2OO,
and warned offenders of this char
acter that they may expect no
mercy in his court. If all the
judges in the State would follow
THE JACKSON ARGUS.
the example set by judge Calhoun,
and the violators of this law were
made to see a heavy fine or the
ehaingang staring them in the face,
the reprehensible practice of pistol
toting, which has become so alarm
ing, might soon become a thing of
the past in Georgia.
WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.
Woodman, spare that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
In youth it sheltered me,
And I’ll protect it now.
'Twas my forefather’s hand
That placed it near liis cot;
There, woodman, let it stand,
Thy axe shall harm it not!
That old familiar tree,
Whose glory and renown
Are spread o’er land and sea,
And wouldst thou hew it down?
Woodman, forbear thy stroke;
Cut nor its earthbound ties;
O, spare that aged oak,
Now towering to the skies!
When but an idle boy
I sought its grateful shade;
In all their gushing joy
Here, too, my sisters played.
My mother kissed me here;
My father pressed my hand—
Forgive this foolish tear,
But let the old oak stand !
My heart-strings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, old friend !
Here shall the wild bird sing
And still thy branches bend;
Old tree, the storm still brave!
And, woodman, leave the spot!
While I’ve a hand to save,
Thy nxe shall harm it not.
[ —George P. Morris.
