suitable for the use Of the British cav
airy in South Africa. The British gov
eminent has buyers all over the United
States looking up horses and mules for
its armies in South Africa. Casualties in
battle and disease has crippled the mo-
bility of the army by destroying its
horses and the armies are unable to move
with any degree of speed as a result.
When it became evident that thousands
of horses would be required the British
government at once looked to the United
States to supply the need. Animals of
great bottom and soundness are required
and it was to the west that the buyers
came. The superiority of Kansas horses

also.
The British buyers. since they have ar
rived IN this section, have time and again
expressed their surprise at the fine ami
male bred here and pronounce them
exactly what they need and better than
those to be offered elsewhere.

Huntsville, March 24.-(Specialj-L. G. Daughty of Atlanta, agent for the Leslie Magazine syndicate of New York, commit ted suicide at late hour last night in room 26 at the McGee hotel by taking a large dose of morphine. Dependency, caused by protra spree, is responsible for the rash deed
 Daughty came here from Florence last Tuesday and registered at the McGee He spent the greater part of his time in oed and only left his room at all to procure whiskey He kept this up until yesterday morning when he dressed himself and came down stairs for few hours, then return dng to his room. At Il o'clock last nignL his friend, Norwood, of Atlanta, found him in his room in stupor. Doughty was ac- cused of having taken something but stoutly denied the charge until physician was summoned and told him that he might as well acknowledge the truth. The dy- ing man stated that he had taken twenty grains of morphine during the morning. This was apparently untrue, because if taken so early, the effects of the drug would not have lasted until night. The man sank into stupor and died few minutes after his condition was discovered.
 Doughty left several sealed letters and notes addressed to various persons. Two notes were left unsealed. The following was addressed to Dr. J. H. Price, Rooms 46 and 47 Grant Building, Atlanta:
 .lDear Doctor: 1 have broken my prom ise to you in regard to drinking, and you can guess my fate. If Bob Ingersolls doc- Urine is O.

Don't be harsh in your criticism, and remember me to Tichenor, our presi- dent, F. Meyer, James Levy, OsBunnan and Overfield With best regards,

Durban, March A.-It is learned from an authentic source that the Boer leaders are aware that they are beaten, but think they can hold out from four to six months, within which time they firmly believe for- eign intervention will force Great Britain to grant favorable terms, including inde- pendence They expect Germany or the United States to intervene The mission of Messrs. Wolmerans, Fischer and Wes- sels to Europe Is to hasten this, so far as iermany is concerned.
 The Boer plans include stand at Kroon- stadt, the Vaal river and other points, eliminating in the defense of Pretoria, which has been prepared for a siege. The ranges of the guns have been tested, mines tlave been laid and the forces In the field have not allowed themselves to be cut off with their heavy guns, which are needed dn the forts of Pretoria. The majority of the Transvaalers are ignorant of the gray- ity of the situation, and though tired of remaining so long from their farms, will fight hard, believing that their liberty and property are at stake, and confident of ulti- mate success.

 One of the sealed letters left by Daughty was addressed to Miss Ortiz at Dallas. The young lady was a very dear friend, and many letters passed between the two. It is supposed they were engaged to be mar ried. Daugf.y carried more than hun dred of her letters in his valise.

ceedings. To this Captain Dimmick agreed with this understanding, the Bingham men placed their list of delegates in the hands of the deputy sheriff, who ordered his ten deputies to clear the hallway of the second floor before opening the court room doors as agreed. After this had been done, the Vaughan leaders held hurried horseback caucus and failed to deliver their list of delegates to the deputy sheriff.
 The sheriff had announced that he would allow no meeting to be held at the court house If there were to be difficulties Then a number of reasonable propositions were made, to none of which the Vaughan peo- pie would agree, so the Bingham side claim.
 While both sides were discussing with the sheriff how best to get the delegates into the hall, United States Marshal Bryan, @ Vaughan supporter, addressed a remark to J. c. Leftwdch, the negro receiver of public moneys, a Bingham man, to which Leftwich replied. This brought on a diff ficulty between them, when Leftwich was struck over the head with pistol and shot in the heel by Hoyle Bryan, son of Mar shal Bryan.
 Immediately after this the Vaughan lead CTS hurriedly withdrew to Dorsett's hall. where they held meeting while the Bing- ham delegates convened at the court house steps and held regular convention, selected delegates to the state and district conven- tions. passed resolutions endorsing Presi- dent McT<inley's administrations instructed the delegates to the state convention for J. H. Bingham for chairman of the state executive committee, and elected J. w. Giles chairman of county executive com mitteo.

The Life Insurance Company Receives
 Verdict

Meridian, Miss, March A-The cele- brated case of Mrs. Lillie Stewart and Guy Jack, of Scooba, Miss, vs. the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Insurance Association of New York, for the recovery of $10,000 on the life of Chrales T. Stewart, who was poisoned, and for which crime Dr. W. H. Ltpscomb, his family physician, was con> yicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, and who died while serving sen- tence, ended this afternoon in a verdict for the insurance company
 The evidence in the case clearly showed that Jack was guilty of conspiring against the company for the amount of the policy. Jack was indicted jointly with Lipscomb for the murder of Stewart, but was ac- quilted. He was the beneficiary by the death. of Stewart.
