counties of his judicial district and

To the People oe Pakagotjld:
Owiog to tbe misfortune I have
sustained m getting my arm broken
I deem it best to withdraw from the
race for city marshal. It is doubt
ful if I would be able for some time
to discharge the duties of the office.
I want it distinctly understood that
I do net take this action in the inter
est of any other candidate. My op
ponents are all my friends and are
good men and I shall take no stand
for any one of thensr'^ly action is
the result oj^ny own/judgment and
has not been Suggested by any one.
I take thisfodportunity of thank
ing tbe friends who have assured me
of tin rjgenerous support^and regret
that my misfortune impels me to
withdraw from the race.
I will ever retain a warm place in
my heart for those friends who have
given me their support.
Respectfully,
Walter Potter.
A “Jag” Tablet.
Newspaper reports say that by an
invention of II. C. Obendaugh of
Bmgbampton, N. Y., each man can
now carry his drinks in his vest
pocket. Obendaugh, after long
study, has perfected a whiskey pal
let. By a process of distillation and
compression the finest brands of
whiskey can be compressed and car
ried like pills. The discovery will
prove a startling one to the distillers
and a puzzling one to United States
revenue officials, who are called upon
to stamp the product of the stil'.
The basis of the pellet is procured
by moulding the component parts of
alcohol. The pellets can be dissolved
in the mouth, leaving ail the taste
and effect cf liquor.
Hopkins Corrected.
We wish to state that the-use of
our names by Mr. J. T. Hopkins in
his tirade against Judge W.C. Jonts
published in Saturday’s Daily Soli
pious was entirely without our
knowledge or sanction. We weie
approached on Friday last by Dr.
W. A. Sims who stated/lbtft Mr3
Hopkins would R^y ioyVip Photic
of any physicians who enoorsed his
pcsitien aud wouldgoto the Photo
Studio. To thia/w®/positively de
clined and also stated that in our
opinion it was a political scheme iL
tended to damage Judge Jones for
PP^ppPPiliiPj^otbe very 1
JSBBBmrise. Mr. Jones is serv
fourth year in Con
||||||Hree terms, or six years, in
and three terms, or eigb
HP^ars, in the Senate. He is a
nemfcer of the most important com
mittees cf that body—Minority Con
ference, Finance, Indian Affairs and
several of less prominence. He has
taken a conspicuous part in debate
of the tariff, money and colonial poli
cies of recent years, and has been an
future presidential campaigns. He
was chairman of the National Demo
cratic Committee in 1896 and again
in 1900, Whether he is to be again
elected will depend largely upon who
is the presidential nominee. It is
considered very likely that another
chairman will be chosen. The rer
lirementof both Vest and Joees next
March will remove two of the most
conspicuous figures on the Demo
cratic side, men who for many years
have taken a leading part in the
most important legislation enacted
by Congress.

JONES’ WAR RECORD.
Ex-Confederates of Greene County
Find a Flaw in It*
J, R. Gossett of Mtprrnaduke, who
has been a Jones man, is now for
Clarke on uccount of Jones’ war re
cord. He was reading the senator’s
yyar record as written by the sena
tor himself and got to the place
where the senator said he was taken
sick at Corinth and with a number of
others was sent to the hospital at
Memphis.
Esq. Gossett says that at that
time Memphis was in the hands of
the federals and that he personally
kaows that the confederate sick and
wounded were sent to Tupelo. In
support of this he introduces B. F.
Frields of Marmaduke as a witness.
Mr. Frields was a member of the
fifth Tennessee, was at Corinth at
the same time Senator Jones claims
to have been there and he bears out
the statement made by Esq. Gossett
that Memphis was in the hands of
the federals and that no confederates
were sent to a hospital in Memphis,
but were, instead, sent to Tupelo.

Gen. Leonard Wood wants the
government to raise the wreck of
the Maine from the mud in which
she is embedded in Havana harbor.
He says that not only are there
sentimental reasons for raising the
wreck, owing’to the fact that, accord
ing to common belief, the remains
of forty or fifty American sailors are
within the sunken hulk, but that
the heavy steel structure is also a
menace and obstruction to nav
igation in haftbor of Havana, and
it is a duty to the Cubans to remove
it.

Mrs. Own by Dead.
Mrs. Jim Ovvnby died yesterday
afterneon at one o’clock, at the home
of her mother, Mrs. Jim Pruitt, near
Rector, death being due to the ef
fects of pistol shot wounds inflicted
at. the h mds of her husband, Sunday,
March 16th.
Ownby is yet incorcerated in the
Greene county jail and will be forced
to answer to the charge of wire
murder, at the next term of circuit
court.
As previously published in the
Soliphone the young woman was
shot three times; one ball entering
the back of her head and fracturing
the skull, another in a shoulder, and
the third in the left side, the bullets
being from a 38 caliber revolver.
She was partially paralyzed from
the effects of the skull wound, but
the one inflicted in the side seems to
have more directly caused her death.
Dr. Weighart, of Rector, was her
attending physician and he was
hopeful of her recovery until compli
cations arose a few days ago.
The other details of the tragedy
were as given in these columns
last week.
The funeral and burial arrange
ments could not be ascertained to
day. '.'.i :tS' n

DE. OLIVE SOI.DEE, Editor. *jp
The W. C. T. U. met on Tuesday
in regular session, at the residence
of Mrs. Donaldson. There was a
good attendance and an ■ interesting
meeting. The usnal devotional
exercises were a little more impres*
sive than usual, the subject of
prayer and scripture reading being
“Our Calling,” The business routine
occupied the time until the gracious
hostess appeared with plates which
we found gave promise of a delight*
ful lunch immediately following.
Another surprise awaited the com
pany. When it was known that a
photographer was waiting to pre*
pare a permanent remembrance fop
the members gathered at this pleas
ant home.
The committee on resolutions pre
sented at this meetiug, the following
which wore unanimously adopted.
Whereas; our sister aud beloved
President Mrs. Collier, has suffered
bereavements in the loss of her dear
father who, ripe with years, has
passed to the other side of vision.
Therefore; Resolved that we, her
white ribbon sisters, tender to heir
our sincere sympathy and condoienco
anrl that we commend her tn fha
care of the Father of all whose heart* -...
is touched by earthly sorrow, and
whose fatherly protection and bless*
ing will not be denied to any of His
dear children.
And, whereas;our sister Mrs. I.N.
Gideon bus been called so sadly to
pass under the rod of affliction, first
in the loss of her beloved tn >ther,
and yet before her return from the
distant grave of that mother, the ,/
message was scot of the terrible
desolation in the home here.
Therefore, resolved that we tender
to her and her children our deepest
sympathy in the loss of mother - -
and in the benumbing grief of widow*
hood fallen upon her by the sad and
sudden death of her husband in th®,.|i
prime of manhood:
Resolved, further, that we comy/il
mend her to the care of the widow's
Friend that as the months of bereave- |
meat pass slowly away shd may •
again see the glimmer of hope’s '
promise and realize the sadly sweet" if
assurance, that “Earth hath no
sorrow, that Heaven canuutcure.” . -i
Resolved that a copy?, of these
resolutions be spread upon the record
of the minutes of our Union, and
that a copy be furnished our sister
Mrs. Collier and Mrs. Gideon, and :
that a copy be sent to eaoh of out* |$
papers with a request to publish. • - r
