NEW LIFE
For All Ailing Men

Men are frequently heard to
exclaim: "If l could only live
my life over again. how happy
would bel"
Such expressions frequent
ly come from those who real
ly ought to begin the journey
of life anew. They are weak
and respondent, unfit to
struggle with opponents who
are strong and able mentally
and physically.
Such unfortunates' can OBJ
tain a new lease of life by
placing themselves under the
treatment of DIR. MEYERS
& CO, the eminent and sue
cessful specialists for men.
These physicians stand
without a rival. They cure
annually thousands of cases
of nervous debility ard its
disastrous results. All con-
tracted ailments are also
quickly cured. Contagious
blood poison at any sage,
contracted or inherited, driv-
en- forever from the system.

 Several white frosts have fallen within the last week, but none that killed vegeta- tion.
 The fields are still white with cotton, and the opinion among planters is that the cotton crop will not all be gathered, but a good deal of 1t will be left in the fields to be destroyed by the stock and bad weather. Cotton seed has fallen in price from II cents to cents per bushel, and as the seed is about all that the negro gets 1t Is doubt ful whether he will continue to pick his cotton.

NOT A FUGITIVE.
Mrs Botkin's Attorneys Score a Poi.t t
 in Preliminary Hearing.

San Francisco, October 4.-The superior court, five judges sitting, has decided that Mrs, Botkin, accused of the murder of Mrs. Cunning and her sister, Mrs. Joshua Deane, of Dover Del, Is not fugitive from jus tice from the state of Delaware. The court holds that the flight from justice must be actual not constructive. Mrs. Botkin was remanded to the custody of the chief of police. The decision was unanimous.
 Under the decision if Mrs Botkin is to be tried for the murder of Mrs. Dunning the trial will take place in this state.
 There yet remains the question of whether or not Mrs. Botkin can legally be held for trial here under section 29 of the penal code, which gives among persons lia- ble to punishment under the laws of this state: ''All persons who commit, in whole or in part, any crime within this state" Upon the construction of this section Judge Carroll Cook alone will hear arguments. So no final order wa made on the writ to- day. Judge Cook merely ordered contin- uance until Saturday.
 The court, in holding that Mrs. Botkin cannot under the law be extradited, simply decides that the legislature has unfortu- nately omitted to provide for just such cases as that of Mrs. Botkin. Under the law, as it now stands, she is not fugitive from justice, having never set foot in Della ware nor is there any way in which she can be extradited.

NEGRO LYNCHED
 NEAR LAFAYETTE Accused of the Murder of Char ley Holmes, His Landlord. BODY RIDDLED WITH SHOT Protested That He Did Not Kill MT. Holmes, But Admitted to Hid. ing the Body in Creek
 Large Mole.
BODY RIDDLED WITH SHOT

Lafayette, October 24-(speciai)-Satur- day night at 1 o'clock a large party of | armed men entered town, stole the jail key from it's secret hiding place in the sheriff's office, quietly entered the jail and took therefrom a negro imprisoned just three hours previously and hung him to tree d mile and half north of town on the Ere donia road, and then riddled his body with balls.
 The nesro's name was John Anderson He was arrested for killing Charley Holmes of Fredonia, a village twelve miles north east of this place, and was landed in jail by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Pate Saturday night at 10 o'clock MT. Holmes was farmer in the prosperous community sur rounding Fredonia, a man about 40 years old, and leaves a large family of eight or ten children, most of them quite young.
 John Anderson was a negro tenant of MT. Homes, and they had falling out in their settlement last week. the dispute being over the item of pair of shoes, which involved about 40 cents. The negro got mad and left MT. Holmes place. MT.
 Holmes was missing from late Friday evening, when he had gone down to his lot, until Saturday morning, when his body was found by his children hidden in the hole of a creek about mile from the lot He was evidently struck in the head by an axe, then choked to death, and the trail of the murderer to the hiding place of the body showed that he stopped many times to rest
 The negro Anderson went to MT. Holmes home Saturday morning and asked the dead mans little boys where their father was. They said they did not know. He said, s''Well, tell him I am coming back this evening and pay him that 40 cents." When the negro was arrested Saturday he confessed to the hiding of the body but said that white men did the killing and paid him $25 to hide the body. No faith was put in his story, and lynching party was made up it is supposed in Fredonia, though it is rumored that thirty more from West Point, Ga, were in the party. The finding of the jail house key in it's secret hiding place in the sheriffs desk is a peculiar cir cumstance.
 The body was cut down and placed in coffin at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Quite a large crowd visited the spot during the day. The body contained about fifty bullet holes. The negro's forehead, if 1t cenld be said that he had any, ran almost straight back from the brow, and his head was very small indeed, but larger and more bulgingf behind the ears.
 The fresh tracks around the jail and court house yesterday morning indicated a large crowd of lynchers. .a... ,afsss z.s#i.
