VIII Lanier who escaped from the

set for his execution, has been captured
in Georgia An exchange says:
Lanie- is one of the State most cele.

Of the Jail at Aberdeen on the 18th day
Of April just four days before the date
set for his execution, and succeeded in

Lauier comes from a family of crimi
mails His father and one brother are
now serving sentences in the Mississippi
penitentiary, and only few days ago
Jim Lanier, the brother, achieved con
siderable notorety by escaping from the
Randolph plantation, in Washington
county, aud making a trip to jackson
for the purpose Of complaining to Gov.
ern0r Longino that be was being cruelty
treated by the guards. The Governor $
investigation showed that there was
little or no grounds for the complaint,
The murder for which viii Lanier
was convicted was one of peculiar cold
blocdedness and atrocity. Together
with his brother, they killed the Biddle
brothers in Monroe county during the
latter part CT the year 1899. Charles
Biddle, mere boy, being hardly Ii
years of age, was killed with a clnb by

Roundup Bales open TO COM
petition.

While the American Cotton Company
is always in the market for r6undlap
bales, it has no prior claim on cotton
baled by this process. Any responsible
cotton buyer can buy roundlap bales at
the GIN and handle them with profit,
Roundlap ginners follow the custom Of
the neighborhood they serve, and as
nearly as possible comply with the pre-
ferences of their patrons, buying in the
seed, ginning for the seed and making
cash settlement Of balances, or ginning
for custom, and paying the highest
market price for seed. They have sep.
arate hoppers for each battery of gins,
so that farmers who want their own
seed for replanting can obtain 1t pure.
Custom bales can be stored or taken
home or sold on the spot. Held round
lap bales are always salable at their full
market value. Farmers. or local mer
chants, or bankers who desire to hold
cotton, can carry it in roundlap bales
the same as in square bales. While it
does not advice holding, the American
Cotton Company is prepared to make
liberal advances on roundlap bales.

He regretted that he could not accept
the nomination as he lacked twenty-six
days Of being five years resident of this
city as required by the charter. This was
q great surprise to the delegates. The

ground that he voted in the affirmative.
The motion for a reconsideration was then
put by Chairman Riordan and Delegate

claimed that Mr.. Samueis having voted in

the point of order. Mr.. Samuels tried to
stay the decision by saying he had made
