Newspaper Page TextJOURNAL, ESTABLISHED 1866. YUk 45, IN LITTLE ROCK, ARK. General Gordon Fixes the Time of the Reunion for May 16, 17 and 18. The Annual Reunion of the Con federate Veterans will be held this year in Little Rock, Arkansas. Mrs. R. L. Nesbpitt, who is Vice President for Georgia of the Confeder ate Southern Memorial Association, has received the following from Gener al George W. Gordon: Headquarters United Confederate Veterang, New Orleans, La , Decem ber 3d, 1910. General Orders No 7. I. The General Commanding an nounces that, according to the custom heretofore in force, which leaves to the General Commanding and the Depart ment Commanders the fixing of the date of the Reunion—the Twenty-First Annual Reunion of the United Con federate Veterans will be held in the city of Little Rock, Ark., on May 16, 17 and 18, 1911, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, those days having been named by our host as satisfactory. . The city of Little Rock will be able to show very little of a Confederate nature to the gallant men who are 800 n to be her guests. She passed in to the hands of the enemy soon after the breaking out of the war, and was thus eevered from her sisterg, and lost the opportunities of those more fortu nately situated. But the patient en durance of hardships by her noble women in the manner characteristic of the Women of the Confederacy show ed that they were worthy to rank with other sections of the South. The brave sons of Arkansas, sepa rated from their loved ones by insur mountable barriers, manifested on every battlefield of the war that courage and fearlessness in action which has F'”‘made the name of the Confederate a synonym of all that is grand in the character of a soldier; and which caus ed General Hardee to speak of an Ar-| kansas regiment under his command as the ‘*bloody Seventh,’”’ than which there can be no higher praise, Did any State give to the cause a braver, abler, nobler soldier than Pat R. Cleburne, whose reckless action at Franklin won the plaudits of the world? or Hindman? or Reynolds? or Pike? or Govan? or Cabell? or Stand waite and the other Indian warriors who stood by our cause so steadily throcughout the unequal struggle? | The State and city have shown their fidelity under trying conditions as meriting the highest honors, and the refined and hospitab'e people of the ‘‘Queen City of the West’’ will enter tain the United Confederate Veterans in a manner equal to the best of the past. As this is the first meeting which has been held in the Trans- Miseissippi Department for number of years, the General Commanding hopes that the attendance may be very large 111. The General Uommanding with much pleasure announces, at the re quest of its most energetic president, Mrs. W. J. Behan, that the CONFED ERATED SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION will hold its meeting at the same time, 111. The General Commanding sin- cerely hopes that the press of the en tire country will endeavor to create an interest in the coming meeting, and to this end he requests that this Order be published, and editorial comment made thereon. By command of George W Gordon, General Commanding. Official : Wm. E. Mickle, Adjutant-General and Chief of Staff. FOR RENT—One 6-room and one 4- room house, Lawrence street,—Mrs. H.

H. CLAY. From the Atlanta Journal. It is reported as altogether probable among those who are in touch with the situation, that the movement to elect E. H. Clay, son of the late Alexander Stephens Clay, and mayor of Marietta, to the vacancy in the United States Senate left by the death of his father, will soon assume definite shape. It is stated that the annoancement of Mr. Clay for his father’s unexpired term may be looked for at any time, The suggestion has been made that Mr. Clay is not eligible for a seat in the United States Senate because of the law which requires that every sena tor be at least thirty years of age be fore he can qualify. Though Mr, Clay is not yet thirty years old, hewill celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of his birth on the 8d of next October. And as the new senator will not qualify until December 1, he A "SPOTLESS TOWN” Civic League Will Send Wagons Over the City after Trash Friday. The Civic League has appointed Fri day, February 3rd, as cleaning-up day for the town. All citizens are asked to co-operate in this movement. Mayor Clay has given the use of the city dumping grounds and wagons. Messrs, Anderson, Hicks and Brown will aid by each giving the use of a team and the Civic League will hire several wagons, Three wagons will go the round of the square and the residence streets, The merchants are asked to have all rubbish that may have accumulated in the rear of the stores placed in barrels or boxes out in front for the wagons to remove. All lot owners are asked to do the same, and the wagons as they come along the streets will empty each barrel that is ready for them This work will be done by the Civic League without any charge to the property owners, The men on the wagons will have directions to clean the streets of all trash, waste paper ete. Let every one help in this work Fri day and make Marietta a ‘‘Spotless Town.”’ Farmer’s Union Meeting, The regular meeting of the Farmers Union will be held on the first Tues day in February at the court house. Business of importance will be trang acted. All members are invited and urged to be present, . . R L. PYLANT, | . County President. AND COURIER. MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1911. will have attained the requisite age before that time. The movement to back Mr, Clay has been growing with considerable rapid ity thronghout the Blue Ridge circuit, over which he hasYpracticed law since his admisgion to the bar. He has been urged to enter the race for soklicitor general of the circuit, but his friends and his father’s friends insist that he make the race before the legislature this summer for the unexpired term of hig father. It is said that many mem bers of the legisture have already ex pressed their desire to honor the memory of Senator Clay by voting for his son to succeed him. Mayor Clay is serving his second year as Marietta’s chief executive, He was elected by the largest majority ever known in Marietta’s political history over two of the most popular and prominent men in the city. Trial of William M. Cox’ Set for February 20th. The trial of W. M. Cox, of Austell, for the murder of Dr. J. R. Sewell in Atlanta, has been set for the third Monday in February, the 20th, and it is expected that Cox will be removed from the jail to the courthouse on a cot and that the trial will take place. He will be represented by Clay & Mor rig, of Marietta, The readers of the Journal and Cou | rier are familiar with the particulars ‘0! the killing and the attempted sui cide of Cox. The wound which he in flicted in his head caused paralysis and he is now regarded as an imbe cile, It is probable that the defense will eandeavor to show that Cox was insane at the time of the killing, He had two aunts, an uncle, two first cousins and a gecond cousin to die in the asylum at Milledgeville. They were commit !twi to that institution from Cobb { county. ' TO SUBSCRIBERS. I | Look at the label on your i paper. If you are a year behind, or nearly so. renew at once.

James M. Kimmons, a Baptist preacher, was tried for killing Carter lLingerlelt on Christmas Eve and was ‘convicted of voluntary manslaughter. ‘He was sentenced to eight years on the ‘Sute Farm. Kimmons is fifty-one years of age. The trial consumed four] days and half of four nights and the | jury was out twenty-six hours. { Lingerfelt was nineteen years old. | The preacher had preached against | drunkenness and had gone before the Grand Jury and bad Lingerfelt indict ed for disturbing public worship. | Evidence was introduced to show that Lingerfelt had made threats against the preacher and had said he would kill the old man on Christmas Eve. Kimmons and his brother, Bunyan Kimmons, and his son, James, and | son-in-law, a man named Scruggs, went to the church on Christmas Eve and when Lingerfelt came out Kim- | mons and his brother began ghooting | at him. They were all walking arse- | nals, Kimmons’ son-in-law having bought three hundred rounds of car triges the day before the killing. Bun yan Kimmons escaped and has never been arrested. Kimmons’ son and son-in-law entered pleas to carrying concealed weapons and were fined one | hundred dollars each. Kimmons was | represented by Clay & Morris. Col. | Blair assisted the Solicitor-General. | The case of Pinson who killed! Whitaker was also tried. They had | fallen out over a land line, Whitaker is_sgaid to have been advancing on | Pinson with a knife when Pinson kill ed him with a shot gun. There were no witnesses to the shooting, all the evidence being circumstantial. Pinson was found guilty of voluntary man slaughter and was sentenced to eight years. He is fifty-seven years old, He was represented by Col. Blair, Carl Welborn and T. A. Brown. Clay & Morris assisted in the prosecution. During the trials the court house was crowded to suffocation. There was a most touching scene when Judge Morris sentenced the two old men to the state farm. Both *were men of prominence in politics, one a Democrat and the other a Republican. As the sentence was pronounced there was gearcely a dry eye in the court house Even the lawyers accustomed to pathetic scenes, wept with the others, There would have been another trial | but for a rather remarkable escape. ! Buck Ratcliff was under indictment for the murder of a Baptist preacher | named Tom Sanford, The killing was done in a free fight and Ratcliff was under a $5,000 bond. Judge! Morris ordered the Sheriff to go after Rateliff and bring mim into court. Ratcliff has a brother who is six feet three and a typical mountaineer, He outran the Sheriff and two teams {for twelve miles and the two brothers got away together, When they reached the river, the taller man took the other on his shoulders and waded the stream. They got over into Fannin and evaded the Sheriff. Ratcliff will, however, probably appear for trial at | the May term of the court Clay and Morris are his attorneys.
