ThEREsuLI OF msRI1.

when anything stands q test of fifty years
among discriminating people, it is pretty good
evidence that there is merit somewhere. Few, II
any, medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the prog
ress Of BRANDETHs PILLS. which, after a trial of
over fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and
most effectual blood purifier, tonic ard Alternative
ever introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit and that BRAN
DETH's PILLS perform all that is claimed for
them is conclusyely proved by the fact that those
who regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them the longest.

WELLER'S MURDERER
IN THE CUSTODY OF SHERIFF.
BROWN OF HOLMES co.
RIe Did NOt Know What He Was
Doing When He Fired the Shot
that Cost the Deputy Marsha His
I.ife-BunXIing Officers, Etc.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 16.-Un-
ted States Marshal Mizzcll rcCeveda dis
patch to-day from the acting Attorney
General at Washington stating that the
department of justice would use every
effort to capture and punish BrownclI,
the murderer of deputy marshal Weller,
and authorizing him to offer a reward
tpr the apprehension OF the fugitive.
This was unnecessary, however, for
Browncll surrendered last night to sheriff
Brown, ofIlolmcs county. The accounts
Of the affair as told by the officers who
were present are very conflicting. One
says: we aroused Browncl and told
him he was wanted outside. Browncl
HrosC and walked ont ON the gallery
where he observed the presence of the
other men. He dashed back into the
house and made Il break out
Of another door. There he was con-
trontcd by Weller who fired his pistol,
vounding Browncl in the shou! !cr.
The latter then returned the fire, his bull
let taking effect in WcIlcr's head.
Upon surrcndcring himself to the
sheriff last night Browncll said he
did not know what he was doing
when he fired the fatal shot. He
said he had been suddcny aroused from
his slumbcr at night by a mob of men
who did not explain their business wit h
him He thought they intended to muir
der him and he ran to save his life. Then
he was shot and was SO badly scared
that he did not grasp the situation, and
SO he fired i'll return. II he had known
they were officers, he would not have
resisted. Officers Mcleod and Turvin
say they are Contidcnt that BrOwncll re
sisted under misrepresentation as to the
real condition Of affairs. He was not
told the nature of their mission to his
house. I}rowncll is looked upon at his
home as Il pcaccablc law abiding citizen.
Public sentiment is against the officers
for the bungling which resulted in the
death of one good man and the probable
ruin OF two happy families. The treas
ury department hasordcrcd special agent
Chapman from Atlanta to make full in
vcStigation Of the case, and he left here
iOr WcStvillc tonight.

General Miller was seen yesterday and

The Farmers State Alliance on Thurs

1t is almost supcrtluouS tor us to say
anything of gentleman whose merits
are So well known to the people of North

recognized as in the front rank Of the
progressive farmers in the State.
Gifted by nature with an intellect of
rare power, and cultivated by course OF
protracted study, he entered upon the
pursuit of agriculture accomplished
at all points tending to secure
chosen business. That he soon
mastered the principles on which suc-
cess depends might well have been cx-
pcctcd, and for years he has been esteemed
not only as one of the first sons of North
Carolina in intelligence and character !;
but as one of the most successful of the
practical agriculturists in the State. He
has given agriculture and the various
matters of peculiar interest to the farm
ing community much thought, and lie
will bring to the discharge of his duties
as President of the Alliance a mature
Judgment, an extensive range OF i'll
formation, and an earnest purpose to
achieve all that is possible to he achieved
for the amcioration of agriculture i'll this
State.
