tence to pay the penalty of death
There seems to be some chance that
the Rawlins boys may obtain a respite
or commutation of sentence but the
case of the father already carried to
the highest tribunal In the land ap-
pears hopeless
The excution of the father his sons
and their negro accomplice will mark
the etid of one of the most merciless
and deadly feuds ever recorded In the
annals of this country These men were
convicted for the murder of two llttlq
children Bob and Annie Carter in an
attempt to exterminate the family of
W L Carter
Carter and Rawlins had been power-
ful revival preachers in the Methodist
churchy About twenty years ago they
married Into wealthy families and set-
tled on adjoining plantations The
Rawlins family comprises three boys
and two girls Carter had one son and
three daughters
The quarrel between the two fam-
ilies originally started among the chil-
dren and was a most trivial affair But
Uhe ciders took It up and then began
the feud Finally the trouble reached
the fighting stage and It was mutually
understood that trouble must ensuo
whenever members of the two families
chanced to meet
One evening the cattle In the Carter
barn made a rumpus Bob and Annie
two of the children ran out to learn
the cause of the trouble Carter had
reached the porch when he saw the
children shot down hymen armed with
shotguns Suspecting that It was but
the forerunner of the murder of the
whole family he ran Into the liouso
and barred the door The children had
been murdered outright To still their
dying cries the murdeiers had ground
their heels Into the childrens faces
and kicked them until their ribs were
broken All night long the murderers
besieged the house hoping for an op-
portunity to kill the occupants Mrs
Carters hair turned white In the night
and the lest of the family became
nervous wrecks
On the strength of a statement mado
by Moore the negro the crime was
charged against Rawlins and his sons
Moore and another negro named Tur-
ner Rawlins was In another town on
the night of the murder but was ar-
rested on Moores claim that he had
plotted the crime Moore said tho
instructions were to kill every member
of the family and to burn the house
He said he had been paid 100 and
that lie and Turner were given per-
mission to keep all the money that
might be found in the building They
were tried with the result that the
elder Turner his sons Milton and

the football season of 190C practically
closes today A review of the season
shows that tho sport this year has
claimed fewer than a dozen victims

those of former years and go to prove
pretty conclusively that while the new

Injuries the number of fatalities is
greatly lessened No fntallty is re-
corded among the players on the big
university and college teams Tho
deaths have been confined almost en-
tirely to the scholastic ranks

So at least the people of Valdosta be-

the other of the attractions postponed
But the way things look at present it
appears very probable that the whole
program may be carried out accord-

ganization but prevents it from becoming another church
It restricts its management to thosoNchurch that have found by experience that they can unite
without controversy or friction in the doing of religious work This enables it to teach tho Bible and
to make practical use of Christian forces for helping young men It is not exclusive Any moral man
