Ex-Gov. Uokk Smith will de liver the literary address at the close of the public schools at Byromville, Doolv county, on May 18. 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.
