SLAYER IS STILL AT LARGE.
Report that Negro Had Been Lynched
Was Not True.
Hawkinsville, Qa., Jan. lo. —'Martin
J. Smith, who was shot twice on last
Thursday hy one Tom Rollorford,
died Saturday night at 8 o’clock here.
Rollorford is a negro about 24 years
old. and' is known to be a bad char
acter.
Telephone and telegraph wires have
been freely used 1 since that time In
the endeavor to locate Rullorford, and
searching partied are now scouring
the country for the murderer.
The re-port, reaching here that he
had been caught and lynched, is stout
ly denied by some of the searching
party who have returned to go in an
other direction.
A large reward for Rullordfo-rd’s
capture is now being made up by citi
zens. and the governor will be asked
to offer a reward aiso.
Considerable indignation is aroused
over the murder, as Mr. Smith was
one of Pulaski’s most well to do farm
ers, and a man of high standing among
his neighbors. v
Dead Body Mangled.
Atlanta, Jan. 15.—With a package
of clay which she had secured for
her breakfast held tightly in her hand,
the dead body of Charlotte Jenkins, a
r.egro woman.. 50 years old. was run
over by an outgoing river car near
the corner of Bellwood and English
avenues Sunday morning at G o’clock.
Owing to the sharp curve where the
car track runs off of Bellwood avenue,
the motorman was unable to see the
body lying before him until too late to
stop the ear. The coroner was noti
fied and an in-quest held, andi it was
determined that the woman had died of
heart failure and had fallen across the
tracks.

Cotton Letter.
Americup, Ga , Jan. 15.—The South
ern Cotten Association has completed
its labors and tbe world is robbing its
eyes trying to realize what has been
To bold tbe balance of this crop is bad
enough, from the standpoint of con
sumers, but to still farther curtail the
small acreage which yielded during
tbe past season less than 10,500.000
bales is tbe most serious possibility tbe
industry has faced since the Civil War.
In fao*, it is so serioas that arguments
pointing out the impossibility of firm
ers carrying out either proposition ure
listened to half-heartedly. At present
rate of oonsumption 12,000,000 bales
will be needed to fill the world’s wants
the coming season. An average crop
on an aoreage of 25,000,000 would be
only 10,000,000 bales. Here is ample
room for anxiety on the part of the
spinner. He knows the limited capac
ity for inorease for India and Egypt,
and he knows also the danger that an
tnsnffioient monsoon might oot short
the Indian yield 500,000 bales. If the
farmer is in earnest, the coming season
will have to face a supply far short of
ri quirements and prices must advance
to a figure which will make the enit fit
the cloth. This is the possibility
brought up by the action of the con
vention, and we mast confess it is a
serious one for the spinner to contem
plate. The movement of tbe crop will
attract nnasual attention during the
remainder of the month and February.
The amount in sight to date is already
49,000 bales behind the ten million
crop of two years ago,and by March Ist
it will probably be running on a basis
of 9,800,000 bale orop. Os course com
parison with the single year ot 1903 04
will hardly be convincing, but before
March Ist comparison with the two 10,-
700,000 orops of three and four years
ago will be reduced to a basis of a 10,-
500,000 crop, with possibilities of still
farther reduction. Liverpool due 2to

ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE.
Final Chapter Is Closed in Sensational
Floyd County Case.
Rome, Ga., Jan. 15. — The acquittal
of Vincent T. Sanford of the charge of
murdering George Wright, is the final
chapter in one of the most sensational
cases ever tried in the courts of Floyd
county.
Two homes wrecked', one woman left
a widow, another cast off by her hus
band, whom she has herself bitterly
denounced, each now seeking to secure
a divorce from the other, one man
killed, and another, though acquitted of
murder, left with the stain of a fel
low man’s blood on his hands, are some
of the results of the tragedy.
Hr Was Tender.
“Young Mr. Softy paralyzed Dr. Sim
ton when he went to be vaccinated,”
observed Gaswell to Dukane.
“How was that?”
“He asked the doctor to put him un
der the influence of anaesthetics.”

CONDITION IS HOPELESS.
Not Believed that Marshall Field Will
Recover from Malady.
New York, Jaa. 16. —It was admit
ted at the Holland house where he is
a patient, ill with pneumonia, Monday
morning l , that hope for the ultimate re
covery of Marshall Field, the Chicago
merchant, had been abandoned-.
The physicians in attendance, how
ever, refused to commit themselves
beyond l the statement that Mr. Field's
condition was less favorable than on
Sunday.
At 9:15 a. m. Monday the following
bulletin on the condition of Marshall
Filed was issued by his physicians at
the Holland house:
“Near the end of the seventh day
of the disease, Mr. Field’s condition re
mains critical. There ia as yet no 1m
provement. Walter B. James, E. B.
Janeway, Frank Billings, physicians.”
When this bulletin was issued Mr.
Field’s pulse varied between 60 and
120.
At 11 a. m. Monday Stanley Field,
nephew of Marshall Field), said his un
cle’s conddtlon was hopeless and that
his death appeared only a matter oJ
hours.
Mr. Field was conscious at that time
and all of his relatives who are here
were at his bedside by his request.
Henry iH. Rogers, Paul Morton and
Mrs. Roswell Miller called to see Mr.
Field Monday.
The area affected by the pneumonia
was not increased, but the danger ol
exhaustion very great.
The following bulletin was issued
by Mr. Field’s physicians just after 3
o’clock Monday:
“There is no change for the better
in Mr. Field’s condition. He contin
ues to grow weaker.”
LYONS’ HEAD FALLS FIRST.
Georgia Negro Loses His Place as Reg
ister of the Treasury.
Washington, Jan. 15. —President
Roosevelt has announced the appoint
ment of W. T. Vernon, principal of
Quindaro institute, at Quindaro, Kans.,
to be register of the treasury in suc
cession to Judson W. Lyoiuj. Charges
were preferred against Vernon, but
they were not sustained by the inves
tigation made by the direction of the
president.
Lyons was at the White Hou*~e and
Learned from the president himse
that there was no chance of his re
appointment to the office he holds.
The fact that Lyons is Republican na
tional committeeman from Georgia did
not save him. Vernon, of Kansas,
had the indorsement of Booker T.
Washington.
This turn down of Lyons, coming
coincident with the announcement that 1
Rucker is to lose out and that De- (
veaux at Savannah is to meet the
same fate, means that no negroes are
to hold important federal offices in
the southern state® where it is possi
ble to find a reason for putting white
men in'their places.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the
Best Made.
“In my opinion Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is the best made for bolds,”
says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Porterville,
California- There is no doubt about its
being the best. No other will cure a
cold so quickly. No other is so sure a
preventative of pneumonia. No other
is so pleasant and Base to take. These
are good reasons why it should be pre
ferred to any other. The fact is that
few people are satisfied with any other
after having once used this remedy. For
sale by all druggists.
A good reputation is like a good wife
—hard to get, pleasant to keep and
jealous of divided affection.
