IN the flames of burning fagots, piled
high by hundreds of citizens, Tom

negro. was burned at the stake here
at a late hour yesterday after having
confessed to one of the most atrocious
crimes in the history of north Mis-
sissippi, the assault and murder Of
Mrs. Carey Whitfield, on August 10
last.
Before the torch was applied Clark
stated that he deserved his fate.
Last August Mrs. Whitfield. the wife
OF well known citizen, was found
dead in her home. Investigation
showed that the woman had been as
saulted and her head practically sew
cred from her body. razor having
been used In the bloody work.
Several suspects were arrested. but
in each case an alibi was proven. A
committee of twelve citizens were
named to continue the search for the
murderer and these men have been
very active in their work. On Mon
day last 1t became known that Tom
Clark, negro living near here, had
had trouble with his wife and the
latter threatened to disclose the sec
ret OF a crime.
Officers apprehended the woman
and she told enough to warrant the
belief that Clark had murdered Mrs.
Whitfield.
Clark was brought before the COM
mittee of twelve in Corinth and Anal
ly confessed to the murder and also
told Of other crimes that he had com
mitted. He said that several years
ago he killed two men on an excur-
sion train in Mississippi. He told Of
an outrage perpetrated by himself
upon negro woman.
Clark said he had covered up his
tracks in way to deceive the Of
ficers OF the law.

FoRGER PLEADS GUILTY.
Fled to the West, but Returned Think.
IND He Was Safe.

West Union, Sept. 25.-Prominent
among the criminal cases on the dock.
ct for the term of the district court
held here by Judge Hobson during tina
past two weeks was that of the state
VS.. l.. J. Barnes on two indictments
for forgery. one note of $4,000 held
by the bank at Arlington and the
other 9 note for $4,000 held by the
Aetna State bank at Oelwein. These
indictments were seven years old, and
1t is not probable had Barnes remained
in the west that an effort would have
been made to bring him back for trial.
But he concluded a few weeks ago
that the clouds had all rolled by and
that he might safely return to the
old home. When the case against
him was called he pleaded guilty. He
has not yet been sentenced.

TOWER FOR GERMAN MISSION.
Transferred from the Russian Mission

Berlin, Sept. 26.-President Roose-

ambassador to Russia. to succeed Mr..
White as ambassador to Germany.
Notifications of this decision and that
Mr.. Whites letter of recall had been
issued by the state department have
reached the foreign office here.
The appointment of Mr.. Tower had
been expected here for several weeks.
AS he was passing through Berlin
six weeks ago he gave a hint to one
or two OF his friends that he might
be transferred to this court. Mr..
White will probably not have his fare
well audience with the emperor No
vember Z, his birthday, as had been
previously arranged, because his ma.
jesty leaves November for England.
The retiring ambassador, therefore, Ia
not likely to present his letters Of re.
call until about the middle Of No

ment of Charlemagne Tower as am.
bassador to Germany to succeed Mr..

The old time treatment Of catarrh
was In the form of inhalers. washes.

remedies were used with greater sue

form We're inconyenient to use and like
all medicines in liquid or powder
form lose their medicinal properties
when opened or exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics. Red
Gum, Blood Root, etc. which kill the

strictly scientific and modern, because
all authorities are now agreed that ca
tarrh is a constitutional blood disease,
and local application can have only
transitory effect.
The use Of inhalers, douches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience,
and can in no wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given in tab
let form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and kill
cstarrh germs right where they are

A prominent lawyer and public
speaker Of Pittsburg says: Il have
been troubled with catarrh of the head
and throat for twelve years. In this
climate it seems impossible to get rid
of 1t. The continual dropping of mu-
Gus from the nose into the throat
caused irritation and hoarseness, Sc
riously interfering with my public
speaking. 1t took me an hour or more
of coughing, gagging. expectorating
and sneezing before / could settle down
to my work, and this condition gradu-
ally brought on catarrh of stomach
causing loss of appetite. poor digestion
and a foul breath, which annoyed me
exceedingly. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
took them for two months and was as
tonished TO find how quickly they
cleared my head. throat and stomach
and / have no hesitation in recon-
mending them. They are not only
pleasant to take, but they seem to get
at the very root of the trouble, be-
cause since using them have had no
trace of catarrh."

They can be carried in the pocket

BANK SUIT At TENNILLE.
Mr.. McCrary brings Suit Against Mr..
Witham's Bank.

Tennille, Ca, Feb. much interest
is being excited locally and generally
over the suit filed Wednesday by j. B.
McCrary of Atlanta against w. S.
Witham, president of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Tennille and some
thirty other banks scattered about
over the state. j r. McCrary is a
brother of j. A. McCrary, formerly
cashier Of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank here.
The suit is in the nature of an in
junction and charges that w. S.
Witham has IN his possession, five
shares of the East Atlanta Land Com
pany stock, which is the property Of
j. B. McCrary, and which it is charged
Witham took from a private drawer OF
j. A. McCrary in the bank here, while
McCrary was sick some months ago,
and without his knowledge or consent.
Demand has been made upon Witham
to give up this stock. which he refuses
to do. The stock was to be sold to-
morrow to satisfy "a claim which
Witham claims to hold against Nc
Crary, and the suit is brought to en-
join him from such action. Judge
Evans before whom the suit was
brought. issued a restraining order, and
the case will come up for a hearing in
Sandersville on Feb. 10.
Some interesting charges are ex-
pected to be made in the trial Some
months ago j. A. McCrary was dis
placed as cashier of Witham's bank
here. Last week, the bank filed a suit
against McCrary and also against his
brothers firm, Moore & McCrary Of
Atlanta. McCrary has a great many
friends in Tennille. He is represented
nv Kino and - A
i. W. Hardwick of Sandersville.
Witham organized the bank here
scme seven or eight years ago. 1t has
oeen very successful, and in a few
years had a surplus as large as the
capital stock. Witham organized the
Tenniue cotton mill I'm 1900. and held
Tor a year or more, the position as
nnancial agent He resigned this posi-
ton some year or more ago, when the
mill was about TO be placed in a re-

to take up the matter with the stock
holders. Many of the stockholders of
the mill look upon this as the only way
Dy which the mill can be operated by
the stockholders. The mill cost about
Sll5,0OO, and is in readiness for opera
ton. Nearly all the stock Is owned
by local parties. The Savannah Cot
ton Investment Company. OF which NJ.
B: Lane is president owns a large
slice of the stock. Its operation would
mean great deal for the business peo-
pie OF Tennille. Many OF them put all
their earnings OF a lifetime in IL. ana
so TAR, they have had no returns from
their investment and the ht1gipaeq ~
the town has been somewhat depressed
for the past year on that account.

inst.
The state Normal School opening
was more satisfactory than even the
president and faculty had anticipated.
There were over 100 teachers answer
ed to the first roll call That number
was twice as large as The opening at
tendance a year ago. 1t is especially
encouraging that such a large and
ever-increasing percentage of those
entering in the schools take the full
years course intead of the ten-weeks'
course. This gives the faculty much
encouragement.
President BransoY will endeavor to
secure more free scholarships during
the year. The new Departments re-
