New York's Independent Vote.

Whatever the outcome of the extraordi-

have followed the successive steps in the
alignment of the contending forces that
the principle OF independence in local cleo

Gated situation. There is more unfettered,
untrammefed independence to the square
foot in the imperial city today than in any

Farley Gray Convicted.

AS will be seen elsewhere in the
report of the proceedings of the
District Court, Farley Gray, who
was Oh trial last week, Tor the
murder of Tom Clair, was convict.
ed of murder without capital pun.
ishment, which means that be will
be sentenced to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for the term of bis
natural life.
The trial was concluded and
case submitted to the jury last
Thursday night, who were unable
to agree until Friday night. The
principal testimony against him,
and we presume that upon which
the verdict of the jury was based,
was given by Jim Dansey, himself
indicted and whose trial for the
same crime is fixed for this week.
This murder was one Of the most
brutal aud atrociois in the history
of the criminal annals of this Par
ish, the victim, a resident of the
Hemphill nelghborhood and man,
Of family, having been enticed into
the woods on the LIST day of last
October, under the pretense OF
hunting hogs, where he was shot
to death in the back with a Win.
chester rifle and his body covered
with leaves.
His mysterious disappearance
was noted at the time, but his de.
composed body was not found uu-
til the 10Th of the same month,
two weeks after he had been known
to leave home. Public sentiment
in the neighborhood of the occur.
renee has been arrayed against
both Gray and Dansey, the major.
ity of people believing and public.
ly expressing the opinion, that the
murder was jointly committed by
them.
Gray was ably defended by
Judge James Andrews and prose
cuted by District Attorney Phanol
Brazeale with equal ability.
Gray is quite a young man and
unmarried. Dansey, the other &C
cnsed, is also young man, bu1
has a wife aud one or two children
While the case has been trieG
and verdict of guilty rendered, tn.
prosecution was powerless to show
any motive for the commission Of
tue murder, although it may dc
velop Oh the trial of Dansey. Gray
was tried at the November term o

Loose clothes and downy cush
ions bring only a negative sort OF
comfort to tue woman who is suf.
fering with some disease or de.
rangement of the organs distinct
ly feminine. Some clothes and
some positions make the pain and
the discomfort seem less. Per.
haps the nerves are most affected
and this in turn disturbs the di.
gestion. Nothing will ever COM
pletely relieve but a radical cure.
The start of so-called "female COM
plants" may be a very slight thing
Indeed. 1t may be that in the be-
ginning some small hygienic meas
ures would stop the trouble. Ger.
tainly at this time, a little bit OF
the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse,
it is harder to cure, but still it can
be cured. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will positively cure
any trouble of this character. 1t

affords lasting relief to a woman
whose natural modesty has kept
her from consulting physician.
