BoURLAND's CHANGE OF BASE

Bourland's change from gubernato- rial aspirations to that of attorney general does not signify that Davis will offer for third term. It simply means that he, Davis, is pledged to support T. 0. McRea for governor and could not support Bourland, hence Bourland's switch. Now, Jeffie, old boy, what will you do with T. Hadden Humphries whom you have promised to support for attorney general? Give him the dirty shake, we suppose-and by the way, without any regrets on our part--as he halls from Berry's stronghold and can'treturn any favors for your support. Oh, welll it is with us a case of flight dog, fight bar; No dog of mine thar" Sic' lem, Tige. Marianna Courier.

FAMOUS LAND CASE
 BEFORE SUPREME COURT.

A case of unusual interest comes up for hearing in the Supreme court Monday. Sixteen years ago Spott Gibson, an old citizen of Woodruff county, died and left valuable plan tation of about 1, 1000 acres. His di- vorced wife and one child, a daughter, survived him. About two years be- fore his death his wife had secured 8 divorce and been granted alimony and the maintenance of the child. Two years after his death a brother and a sister of Gibson, B. s. Mcdonald and Octavia Mitchell, brought suit against the guardian of the child for the pos- session of the property into which she had come. The contestants for cause of action set up the averment that the girl was not the daughter of the deceased and for certain physical reasons could not have been. Upon the prosecution of their case they were awarded the land and have been ill possession ever since. The child has since attained her majority, hav- l ing been about 5 years old at the time. She is now Mrs. Sallie Rankin of New Aport. Last year she took an appeal eo the Supreme Court from the decis- ien of sixteen years ago, the statute ofNmitations not having run against it o4 account of her minority.
 A notion was made by the appellees to disniss the appeal, but this was overrued. The act of 1899, governing appealssn certain cases, and involving the prinSples at issue in this case, is as followss amendatory to section 1927 of the digAt:
 "An appsal or writ of error shall not be grante1 except within one year next after thu rendition of the judg- ment, order os decree sought to be reviewed, unless the party applying therefor was an Alfant or of unsound mind at the tinistpf it's rendition, in which cases an apAeal or writ or err TOT may be granted So such parties or their legal representatives within six months after the remdS'a of their dis abilities or death"
 There is now an esAte valued at about $1Oo,Ooo involved besides a. large amount of back Nxes Me- Donald, the original contestant, is dead, and his two childreA are the principal ones now interestAa in the case. Col. J. w. House dS Little Rock represents the heirs and Gus tave Jones of Newport reprAsents Mrs. Rankin.

 On Wednesday, Oct. 1, the old gem tleman in company with the two boys was in Augusta inquiring as to the time of departure of the train for Bald Knob, stating that he was going to Newport for the purpose of selling pearls, and according to the boys, left, instructing them to make every thing in readiness to drift on down the river. The boys did as they were told and came to town Thursday morning to meet their father and after waiting several hours went back to their boat and drifted down the river, expecting to meet him between here and the mouth stopping at various points un- til they reached DeVall's Bluff, where they were arrested.

WANTS THE CONTRACT.

Little Rock, Oct. 20.-George w. Donaghey was in the city yesterday MT. Donaghey is one of the members of the old board of State capitol com missioners appointed by Gov. Jones.
 The plans were submitted to an ex pert in Philadelphia by the commis sioners to ascertain if the building could be erected for S1,000,00O, the limit prescribed by the act. The opin- ion of the expert was that the final cost of the building would exceed $1 100000. However, he praised the plans very highly and said that by the substitution of some cheaper mate rials the building could be constructed for the price named.
 Since this report the matter has been at standstill and no efforts have been made to continue the work.
 Mr. Donaghey believes, though, that the building can be erected from the present plans with the materials spec flied for the $1 100000, and as an evil dence of his sincerity he is willing to take the contract at that price. 1t was stated this morning by state house official that MT. Donaghey went to the governor yesterday afternoon and told the chief executive that he would build the new State capitol for $1 ,O0O, 1000, provided the State would furnish the same amount of convict labor agreed to in the original law authorizing the erection of the build- ing. MT. Donaghey left yesterday evening for his home and could not be seen in reference to his proposi- tion, but it is stated by those with whom he talked that he made in effect the offer to the governor as outlined above, with probably some few addi- tional details or notifications.

to some other city with her. This he
would not do.

MURDER OF MISS JENNETT

walk and talked for while, the girl urg
ing him to abandon his family and leave
the city with her. He then whipped out
the hatchet and struck her in the head.
When asked why he mutilated her so,
Miller said he had no recollection of any
thing after the first blow until he found
himself wfping the blood of his hatchet
on the grass in the vacant lot.
This In brief, is the story of the crime.
Throughout the narrowing recital Miller
was remarkably calm, betraying no emo
tion and but comparatively slight nerv-
BUSINESS.
At first he denied any knowledge of the
murder and later told the officers they
undoubtedly thought themselves clever,
and he would therefore, leave II to them
to prove that he was guilty. But he be-
ban to weaken when he had been on the
stand about twenty minutes. 1t was then,
when he was being closely interrogated
by Mr. Hunt as to when he had last seen
Miss Jennett, that he turned suddenly
upon Captain Baker, who sat where ht
could look the prisoner full in the face.
Look at that man." cried the murder
er, dropping his eyes before the stead!

| pierce me through and through"
A shudder passed over him and he hum
his head for second time. Then raising
it with considerable effort he glanced a

without foundation.
Some of those who are in close touch
with South Africa believe that ten days
may eiapse before a definite conclusion
is reached. In the meanwhile the pres
ence Of such representative Beers at
Klerksdorp and other factors create an
all-round hopeful feeling. This was re-
fiected on the Stock Exchange In the ad-
vances of consols and kaffirs. Up to
11:20 a. M the government had received
no official news bearing out the state
ments that peace had been arranged.
In the House of Commons at midnight

leader replying to a question asked by

eral leader. declared that the government
had no information concerning the peace
runaors and that there was no foundation
for them.

Rumors Are, However, Denied BY
President Spencer of Southern
and the President of the
Louisville Stock Exchange.

Louisville, KY, April 11.-Louisville and
Nashville was the feature of toftay's stock
market as it was yesterday, but today the
rumors that a corner had been estab-
lished to squeeze shorts gave way to re-
ports that the stock was being bought
in order to secure control of the com
pany. The corner theory for the advance
in the shares was dissipated by a state
ment from President Keppler of the Stock

ton to corner the Louisville and Nash

be available to borrowers

heavy transactions in the stock to indi-
cate that any one was buying for con-
troll and nothing could be learned as to
the identity of the supposed purchasers
except that the speculative world con-
nected the movements of the stock within
the last two or three days with the an
nouncement made on Monday by the
Louisville and Nashville directors that
the company had acquired a majority
interest in the Atlanta, Knoxville and
Northern railroad. which when completed,
will run from Knoxville to Jellico. The

this purchase put the Louisville and
Nashville road into competition with the
Southern railroad between Cincinnati,
Knoxville and Atlanta. The Southern
is a property with which j. p, Morgan
g. Co., are connected and today 1t was
reported that Southern interests desired
a controlling interest In Louisville and
Nashville. The reports, however, were
denied by Samuel Spencer, president of
the Southern. who said he knew nothing
of such intention on the part of his road
Late in the day ]. s. Bach & Co. made

lowing cablegram to the Rothschilds:
