PAY TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF DAVIS
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES.MARK THE
BIRTHDAY OF PRESIDENT
/ OF CONFEDERACY
STATE NEWS IF INTEREST
Brief News Item* Gathered Were and
There From All 8ectlons
Of The 8tate
Atlanta.—Due and loving tribute
was paid to the memory of Jefferson
Davis, president of the Southern Con
federacy, at a meeting in the senate
chamber at the state capitol on June
3, his birthday, the exercises being
participated in by Confederate Vet
erans, Daughters of the Confederacy
and the Confederate Womeh’s Associ
ation.
Hooper Alexander, United Stateq
district attorney, was the orator of
the occasion, and the program includ
ed a number of Southern songs and
recitations.
In referring to the speech which
Mr. Davis made in Atlanta in 188ft on
the occasion of the unveiling of the
Ben Hill monument, which now stands
in the rotunda of the capitol, the
speaker declared that much of it was
pertinent to political conditions to
day.
He said that Mr. Davis, who had
been hampered in his policy and
abused by members of the Confeder
ate congress, paid a very feeling trib
ute to Hill, who, as a member of the
Confederate senate, had not allowed
personal animosities or selfish con
siderations to influence him, but had
unswervingly upheld the hands of the
administration in its tremendous
tasks.
While the orator did not mention
any n^mes in his application of the
speech of Mr. Davis to present politi
cal conditions, the allusion to the se
nior senator from Georgia, with whom
the- district attorney has broken en
tirely, was too patent to be missed by
any of the audience.
He declared that Mr. Davis was the
most maligned man who ever lived
with the possible exception of Jesus
Christ. In the twenty years of his
retirement following the war, male
dictions of the vilest character were
poured upon his head and his own
people scarcely dared defend him.
“Then cam© the invitation to leave
his home on thej banks of the Missis-
el ppi and make a trip through the
South to Richmond, stopping at vari
ous cities en route/ ’he said. “Such a
triumphal firogress has never been
given any man in this or any other
country. Our people liped the route
of his Journey in thousands, and it is
a literal fact that the railway over
which he traveled was almost paved
with flowers strewn by the children of
the South who gathered along his
path.
“I, witnessed the ovation given him
in Atlanta, and as one of the mar
shals of the occasion had a good op
portunlty to judge the size of the
crowd, and I can say that I have never
seen such a mass of people as came
from all parts of the ejate to honor
Mr. Davis on that day.”
Sheriff Of DeKalb Catchea Slayer
Decatur.—Sheriff J. A. McCurdy has
returned from Detroit, Mich., where he
went to get Russell R. Black, wanted
In connection with the death of’J. W.
Webb, a deputy sheriff of DeKalb
county, and for thA wounding of R.
P. House, another deputy. Black is
being held at the city jail in Decatur
pending further investigation* which
were started immediately after the
arrival of Sheriff McCurdy and his
prisoner. It was stated that Deputy
Sheriff House had seen Black and
had identified him as the man that
did the shooting. Webb and House
were shot in Druid Hills on the night
oi March 16, 1919. They were pase-
ii.g through the section in an auto
mobile late at night when they came
across an automobile standing along
side the road. Deputy House stated
after the shooting that they had or
dered the driver of the car to get out
while the,y examined the automobile,
when the shooting occurred.
Negroess' Body Borne By Whites
Macon.—The unusual spectacle of
white men acting as pallbearers at
the funeral of a negro woman was wit
nessed here at the funeral of Bettie
Comer, who had been a servant in
the Holmes family for thirty-six years
and who had nursed each of the young
mefl who bore her body to the grave.
The pallbearers were the three sons
and three nephews of Dr. and Mrs.
W. R. Holmes. Bettie Comer was a
niece of William Yopp, better known
a* “Ten-Cent Bill,” who has gained
a state-wide reputation for his Inter
est in the veterans at the soldiers’
home in Atlanta.

Attorney Mltglng From Albany
Albany.—Charges against Guy' - (X
Buckner, a young attorney of Alb*
ny, and the fact (.hat he had disap
peared from his home here, were
brought to light when a warrant wan
taken out against him by W. L. West,
who charges that he sold property
against which there was a lien. It is
stated that there are other charges
against him which have been held in
abeyance pending his promised re
turn to the city. Search had been
made for Buckner ever since his dis
appearance about two weeks ago, but
nothing was heard from him until the
town marshal of Jackson, Ala., report
ed that he was there. Request was
made that the Jackson officer send
Buckner back to Albany under escort
of an officer, but it was stated that
there was no one there by whom he
could be accompanied. Thereupon
Sheriff O. F. Tarver of this county
went to Jackson, but when he arriv
ed there he found that Buckner had
been released and again disappeared.
Buckner is married and has a wife
and two small children here. He was
regarded as having excellent pros
pects in his profoselon, and it is
known that he was entertaining ambi
tions to represent Dougherty county
in the legislature, having stated pri
vately that he would enter the race
next September.

the centenary fund of the North Geor
gia conference, as well as other large
donations from different sources. An
effort hud been made by certain in
