*10 TELL WHO ARE QUALIFIED.
MR. BERRY SMITH’S
TRAGIC DEATH
He Hits Four Children Residing in
Macon—Funernl in Columbus,
Registration closed last night, and
those whose names are not on the lists
will not be allowed to vote in the com
missioner's election on the 13th.
After the lists are purged, it is
thought about 3,700, white and black,
will be qualified to vote. There were
3,900 names on the books in the last
general election, and all of these who
stand all right with the tax collector
are entitled to vote this time, but it
is thought several hundred will fall
away because of the unpaid tax 41 last
year.
Three thousand white people have
registered this year, many of whom
were registered for the last general
election. Two hundred and seventeen
negroes have registered, but some of
these will be disqualified, because their
taxes for last year have not been paid.
How many will be stricken on this ac
count cannot yet be stated, however,
as a great many of the 11. fas. are out,
and there is no way to hear from them
until the registrars get to work.
Mr. Derry H. Smith, formerly of
Phenlx City, Ala., but whose children
reside in Macon, was taken last night
to Columbus from Memphis, Tenn..
where he met an unusual death a day
or two ago. Mr. Smith went to Mem
phis recently to take a Job at the iron
works there. While repairing some
ammonia pipes at anjee house he was
overcome by the fumes from the am
monia, due to an explosion which re
leased the gas. and died from the ef
fects. He leaves a wife. His children.

OTHELLO.
Shakespeare's Masterpiece to Re
Given nt Crump's Park.
..On Monday evening our theatre-go
ers will have the pleasure of witnessing
for the first time a Sheakespear^an play
at Crump’s Park. The announcement
of Othello was received with much sat
isfaction by our theatre-goers, as John
D’Ormond’s reputation In the role has
preceded him. The Memphis Appeal 1 of
eb. 6th says: “John D’Ormond aa
Othello, thrilled a packed house last
night and demonstrated the fact that
s a Shakespearean actor of the
first rank. A powerful voice, perfect
physique, mobile feature*, and a keen
ntelligence all combine to render his
interpretation of the Moor well-nigh
perfect. Agnes Fuller as Dcsidemona
beautiful -and her appearance in
the council chamber in the second act
provoked a storm of applause. In this
c ha rater she la Meal and her Desde-
mon.a wilt-long remain a pleasant mem
ory. The costumes were*.beautiful and
appropriate and the supporting com
pany good.

the Gentlemen Have Been Ail Justed

All differences between Mr. Lewis A.
(Wood and Capt. Rolf Sims, so far as
their business trnsactions are con
cerned, have been settled, and the
court has dismissed the case.
As to the charges made by Mr. "Wood
against Mr. Sims, Involving personal
relations, nothing has been said or done
so far as the public knows, but the
attorneys for each side have held sev
eral conferences recently and suc
ceeded In bringing about a settlement
of their business differences that were
perfectly satisfactory to both parties,
and now the matter is dropped so far
as the courts are concerned.

SAYS THE NEW
ORCHESTRA IS FINE
A man with a great big gun created
a small sensation on Mulberry street^
yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Just
as a loaded car turned into the switcA
the Consolidated line in front of the
Lanier, a shot was heard, and a voluinb
of smoke swept through the car. Each
passenger looked at tho others, and
wore an expression of astonishment.
They had never heard of a hold-up at
such a time and place, and they knew
the shot was not the report of a tor-
oedo.
A man below medium size stood on
tho ground near the car, his face a lit
tle whiter than any other in view. Ho
hesitated for a time, and then, stoop
ing, picked up a big pistol from the
ground and walked across the street
to tho Blde-walk, carrying the deadly-
looking weapon In his hand. IIo didn’t
seem to bo looking for anybody to as
sociate with, and as nobody knew what
his frame of .mind was or how his pis
tol had fired, people were not rushing
up to Join him Jn his walk. In a few
seconds after he started out, ho\v l 6ver.
Officer Holloman started In pursuit,
nnd. overtaking him, received this ex
planation:
*’I was going to the pawnshop to see
what I could get on my pistol. I wns
carrying the wpnpon in my hand, and
had it set on the safety. As I went
to get off the car I dropped It, and it
fired.’*
Nobody was hurt. '

GOUROCK, July 27.—The Shamrock
II.. accompanied by the Erin, sailed at
10:20 o’clock this morning for New
York. Great enthusiasm was displayed
a.s tho challenger departed.
Capt. Sycamore desired to go out un
der canvas, ns he was favored with a
light easterly wind, sufficient to keep
the fiags streaming in the direction
the yachts had to sail. The challenger
cut a strange figure with her stunted
spars and scanty canvas aa she lay
ready to start. At 10 o’clock Sir
Thomas Lipton and Mr. Watson, de
signer, boarded her, and a few minutes
later the challenger’s moorings were
slipped, her head sail broken out, and
the Shamrock II. started on her voyage
across tho Atlantic. Thousands of
people gathered along the shore and
on the pier of Gourock and greeted the
yacht’s departure with a great outburst
of cheering, again and again renewed.
Hats and handkerchiefs were waved,
guns saluted and steam whistles and
siren? shrieked.
Sir Thomas Lipton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Cum-
braes, when he returned on a tug.
