OBES Jury Recommends Mercy in Forsyth Case —Other Cases Tried There FORSYTH, Ga., Feb. 19.—This was criminal weelfr in the Monroe superior court and most of the time was taken up in the trial of three murder cases.

Searcy, Jr. Mattie Lou Harris, one of the negro women, was convicted of the murder of John M. Barnes, one of the most popular men in Monroe county. Barnes who was a bailiff in Russellville district sought to arrest Hehry Harris, the husband of the convicted woman, who had raised a disturbance at a negro meeting near Russellville. The evidence for the state showed that Mr. Barnes was shot in the back by the negro woman. Hen ry Harris, who was first said to have killed the bailiff, was killed later in the day, while making an attack on another white man. RacheaelJ ackson, another negro wom an, was convicted of the murder of Trnest Jordan, a negro man in her own home. Hob Wimbish, • charged charged with the murder of Will Head, both negroes, under a plea of self defense secured an acquittal. A case that attracted considerable at tention was that of Albert Smith, charg ed with the burning of the bam of W. D. Thurmon, a prominent' farmer with whom he worked. The evidence, however, failed to sufficiently connect the negro with the burning and he was acquitted, and by a jury composed al most entirely of farmers. • PREPAREDNESS!

MARIETTA, Ga,, Feb. 18.—Memories of the famous Taft " 'possum dinner/’ given in Atlanta several years ago to President Taft, were refreshed in Mariet ta Wednesday night.

It was one of those dinners that can only be given In the south, and the courses were excellent—partridges and •possum being the chief attraction. 'Possum was as new to Mr. Blakeslee as It had been to President Taft, but he took right to It. After the dinner the negro servants were heard discussing the guest of honor. One of the servants was heat’d to talk something along this line: "Marster Newt sez dat Gfen’l Blakeslee cum frum one ob dem north’n states whar de Yankees cum frum, an’ whar day don’t hab no ’possums. Jdaybe he do, but he sho can eat 'possum an’ taters jes lak we folks down heah what wus raised wld ’possums.

Calomel is quicksilver and acts like dynamite on your liver Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It’s mercury; quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into youi system. . When you feel bilious, sluggish, con stipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist aells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson’s LiVer Tone, which is entirely vegeta ble and pleasant to takd and is a per feet substitute for calomel. It is guar anteed to start your liver without stir ring you up inside, and cannot sali vate. Don’t take calomel! It makes yod sick the next day; it loses you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give It to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn’t gripe.—(Advt.) 6. WISH LOTT SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT Aged Defendant Is Too Weak to Stand When Sentence Is Pronounced (Special Dispatch to The Journal) DOUGLAS, Ga., Feb. 18.—This morn ing Judge J. I. Sumineral passed sen tence upon G. Wash Lott, age 65, who was convicted of murder for killing his son, W. L. Lott, at West Green, on March 25.

The defend ant wept bitterly when sentence was pronounced. None of his children was In court at the time. The defendant will be held in jail un til his motion for new trial is heard, and his case is appealed to and passed upon by the supreme court. The court also sentenced three ne groes, one woman and two men to life imprisonment for killing other negroes. The jury is still out in the case of Maggie Haskins, charged with killing her preacher husband, and a mistrial is likely as the jury have had the case eleven hours already. INDIGESTIDN ENDED.
