LUKE SANDERS GUILTY
THE JURY RECOMMENDS THAT
 HE HANG.
Negro Blacksmiths of Marion Refuse to Make shackles With Which to Secure Prisoners-Wil-
 son e Co. Closed.

Marion, May 16.-(Special. 1.-The jury in the case in the State vs. Luke San- ders, charged with being implicated .n the murder of Will Mullen, the road overseer, returned a verdict this morn- ing of guilty and recommended that he hang.
 Luke Sanders showed considerable nervousness when the verdict was read, while his brother, John Green Sanders, convicted last week, received the sen tence with apparent indifference. Col onel Tendon who deIended John Green says his connection with the case clos ed with the trial at the bar and no appeal will be taken on his part. Col onel B. Nj. Allen left for his home in Birmingham before a verdict was reached in Luke's case and 1t is not known what action he will take. Juogs Moore will pronounce the sentence to- morrow.
 The murder of Mullen was foul in the extreme. and the convictions Of the two conspirators meets the general ap- proval of the whites. While there Is some little dissatisfaction among the negroes there has been no demonstra- ton further than a refusal by the blacksmiths of the city, all Of whom are colored. to make, or allow to be made in their shops, shackles for the prisoners to secure their confinement in jail. As a result, the white citizens have advertised for a white black smith, guaranteeing a good patronage to the right man.
 The grocery store of J. c. Wilson & co. was closed by the sheriff today. It is claimed the firm owes some $2,Oo0 house rent and the stock is attached to secure the rental. .

VINCENT KEITH HANGED
NEGRO DIES ON sCAFFoxD AT
 TALLADEGA.
Was Convicted of the Murder of John Houston at Chi1dersburg. Confessed His Guilt and
 

Talladega, May 1e.-<Specisl.) -vin- cent Keith, . negro, was hanged In the county jail yard this morning at n o'clock. Life was extinct at 11:i0 Keith mounted the gallows with the coolest of nerves, not displaying the least bit of emotion or fear before go- | ing to his death. He made short talk from the jail window to . large crowd standing on the outside and also one on the scaffold, expressing a willingness to die.
 The execution went of like clock work.
 Several negro preachers held re- liEious service with the executed man this morning, in which he took a great interest.
 The crime fer which Keith met death was a brutal one. He killed John Houston, another negro. at Childefs-l burg. for the purpose of robbery. He struck his victim with hickory stick for the sole purpose of obtaining few dollars which he had on his person. Both negroes resided at Chfidersburg.
 Keith acknowledged his guilt and said his punishment was just. He had received much comfort from the Scrip lures. and the negro ministers who have held religious services with him.
 He was executed on the same gal-' Jews on which Ebert Curry gave up his life. Sheriff Edwards sprung the trigger.
 Keith spent a fairly good night last night Along toward morning he was heard singing songs and praying. He remained firm until the last. and joln- ed freely in the singing, having an ex- ceilent tenor voice. There was no bravado in his manner apd he admitted that he was guilty. In his last remarks he said: T hope that each of these present will meet me in heaven. ! am very sorry for what I have done but the time has come for me to leave the scene of my many dismeanors.s During the last moments Keith's friends sung Nearer, My God, to Thee"
 The Sheriff of Calhoun County was present to witness the hanging. tegeth- CT with three ex-sheriffs of Tailadega County.

Made a New Woman of No.

During three years I was frequently attacked with severe spells of sickness; many of these sick spells kept me in bed. dangerously i'll, from three weeks to three months. under the constant care of the best physicians of Kansas City. The doc tors never told me I had anything the matter of my kidneys but did not know for sure.
 Some doctors pronounced my case gall stones. and said could not live without q surgical operation, to which I would never consent. A friend suggested 1 try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. 1 began to take Swamp Root regularly, and when I had used only three 50-cent bottles I felt fine and was able to do more work than I had done in four years. It has made a new woman of me. I have had only one slight attack since I began to take Swamp Root, and that was caused by be- ing drenched with rain and catching cold. Stomach trouble had bothered me for years and had become chronic. I am new A years of age and feel much younger than I did ten years ago. I freely give this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered as 1 have"
