This story scems unbelieveable here in Florida where this remarkable weman is greatly admired and profoundly respected, end we are glad to see in the Tam- va Tribune that Mrs. S. S. Moore, president of the local chapter of the! The | Daughters denies the report. Tribune says: “Mrs. Moore said that she has no doubt that the report which was cir- calated was the malicious work of two or three members of the U, 1), C. who envy frence in Sister Carlotta's prom- the chapter, She also gays that the same women who she suspects in this case attempted to injure Sister Carlotta's standine, The sister was advised to sue thera for slander, but refused to attempt redress because of her position jin the church.” B — WISEACRES SEE TROUBIE AHEAD FOR CONGRESS.
