When asked had she rer visited Brown's home, the wolan said that she had not been lere in at least two weeks, but ould not say what she went there >r. It is believed by tne authorities lat the mother of the dead baby ave birth to the infant in the big old >g house in which Brown lived, and lat she either killed it herself and 3t Brown to bury it, or else he kill1 it for a compensation of some >rt and buried it after taking its fe. However there is no positive roof against either person held. Yesterday the cpunty physician exnined the Waldrop woman and this iorning another examination will be eld.

Carter of the Euphradian society with his oration, "The Criminal and Our Responsibility." The Southern Oratorical association, organized in 1891, has as members eight Southern universities. To be selected to represent one of them in their final contest is regarded as the highest intercollegiate oratorical 1 honor which can be won by members oi meir siuutriu uumes. The association will hold its contest on May 4 at Vanderbilt university. Mr. Carter left Tuesday for Vanderbilt.
