TWO LAND CONTESTS.
A Homesteader Who Had Never Lived
on His Land.

United States Land Register Fraser
and Charles F. Gardner. Receiver,
have rendered a decision in the case
Of Thomas Porteous and others, min
eral contestants, against Jerome w.
Matthews, agricultural claimant
The case was a rehearing, involving
the character of some land near West
Point, Calaveras County. The Regis
ter and Receiver find that since the
date of the last hearing valuable min
eral discoveries have been made in
the North Star quartz mine location
by the contestants, making that part
Of the homestead location more valua-
BILE for mineral than for agricultural
purposes. 1t is therefore decided that
the contestants obtain the mining loca-
ton, and that Matthews have a patent
for the remainder of his homestead.
They have also decided the case of
onno ]. Belcher, contestant, against
the heirs of John B. Smith, deceased.
The homestead entry was contested,
and the evidence showed that Smith
curing his lifetime never did establish
an actual residence on his land, and
that he owned and lived on an adjoin-
ing tract and although he built cabin
on the land, he never lived in it. The
decision, therefore, is that the heirs Of
Smith have no legal claim on the land
and that the entry should be Cancelled,
and Belcher should hav e the preference
right of entry thereafter.

Young men of the league, when you

Young men of the league, when you
go to the polls vote for temperance;
vote for the principles of prohibition,
and for the best government on earth.
The great body of Epworth Leaguers
throughout the United States should
have a working organization on this
line. The league, with it's strong young
men and women, should lead the tenn
perance army. Old men become con-
servative-lacking in enthusiasm and
force The young must fight this bat
tie, and in this work, as in any impor-
tant movement, we should be practical
mot simply advancing theories or
looking to that which is beyond our
attainment The following are only a
few of the many ways in which the
league can do practical work along
this line:
First-We should see to it that each
member Of the league is pledged to
total abstinence. This pledge may
prove safeguard to some young man
or woman when for the first time as
sailed by the influences of society.
Second-Temperance should be given
place on the regular league pro-
gramme.
InlrU-PuDl1c temperance meetings
may be held under the auspices of the
league and the pledge circulated for
isigners
The suggestions just offered were
given US in the "Epworth Herald"
The greatest temperance force in the
world to-day is in the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor, and the
Epworth League. The Y. P. S. c. E..
is seizing it's opportunities in many
places. The league must not be in the
rear. Let us organize California at
once. Let committee be appointed
here to-day for aggressive work.
The fathers of the churches are striv-
ing to get together for this same end.
Let us join hands with them, and in an
unbroken phalanx of Methodism, young
and old. move upon the saloon, and as
the men who had made the Temple a
den of thieves skrank away before
the mandate of our Christ, so again
He shall conquer, and 1.-The work Of the

When asked what he thought ought to
pc done with respect to the tariff ques-

the proper thing for this convention to

The substance of the plank" he con-

sufficient to meet the needs of the gov
eminent economically administered and
SO as to protect the industries of this
country against the pauper labor of Eu-
rope. The tariff of 1884 is the best plat
form the democratic party has had since
the war, and every fair man is in favor
of that kind of a tariff
AS to Cuba, there is some difference

anything about 1t or not. The sentiment
Is that a declaration in favor of Cuba
Will prevail. l think whatever is said

pAUGHDRILL CONVICTED.
The Jury Says That He Shall Suffer Death for
the Murder of Commercial Traveller
Bates.

Col. S. W., John, attorney for the pros
ecution in tie trial of Daughdriil for the
killing of j. 1. Bates, which closed in
Gadsden last Saturday, received yester-
day morning the following telegram:
"Gadsden, Ala, July 6.
IS. w. John, Birmingham, Ala:
"Daughdrill convicted of murder in the
first degree. Sentence, death.
HUBERT II. DAVIS,
solicitor"
AS will be remembered by the State
Herald readers, on December l. 1895,
Colin Daughdrlll shot and killed Joseph
l. Bates in Gadsden. The two men were
strangers to each other, Daughdrill living
in Gadsden and Bates a travelling sales
man in the employ of the Riosler-Gaul-
bert company, Louisville, KY Bates lived
in Montgomery and was member OF the
Alabama division of the Travellers Pro-
tective association. He was in saloon
in Gadsden for the purpose of selling the
proprietor some TASKS, when Daughdrill
entered and interrupted the conversa-
ton, and when Bates informed him he
was busy Daughdrill began abusing him
and finally pulled his pistol and shot him.
The occurrence created SO much excite
ment that Daughdrill was removed to the
Jail in this city for safe keeping, where
he remained until his trial, which came
up last week.
The indictment was preferred against
Daughdrill at the spring term, 1896, of the
circuit court of Etowah county, and on
account of the application of defendant
the cause was continued to a special
term, which began June 49, The trial
lasted all the week and the jury retired
at o'clock Saturday night last.
The state was represented by Solicitor
Hubert T. Davis, Messrs- Goodhue and
Sibert of Gadsden and Col. Sam viii
John of Birmingham; the defendant by
Messrs. Pope & Standifer of Gadsden,
HARRISON & Davis of Fort Payne and
Mr.. Underwood of Rome, Ga.
Daughdrill also killed Yard Master
Armstrong Stewart in the Alfalfa yard
of the Rome and Decatur road some
years ago, for which he has never been
brought to trial.
