BOB BROWN MUST HANG
GOVERNOR JELKS REFUSES TO
 COMMUTE SENTENCE.
Judge Evans Who Tried the Case Says Negro Should Die-He Killed J. c. Mcleod in
 Barbour County.

Governor Jelks yesterday declined to interfere with the sentence of the Circuit Court of Barbour County, and Boh Brown. the negro who killed J. c. Mo Leod white road overseer near Bates vile, in September, will be hanged in the jail yard at Clayton tomorrow.
 It will be recalled that the murder of Mcleod caused considerable excitement at the time. He was road overseer and had warned the negroes living in the vicinity of Batesville for road service. work. Mcleod was called away and left negro in charge of the work. When he returned the negro reported to him that brother of Bob Brown had refus- ed to work and had acted in an insolent manner Mcleod reprimanded the negro and a personal difficulty ensued. Mcleod had his hand in the collar of the negro when Bob Brown struck him on the head with a hoe. The skull was broken into thirteen pieces and Mcleod died almost instantly.
 Brown fled and was pursued several days. many citizens of Barbour County joining in the chase. Mcleod was re- aarded as one of the best citizens of the County and sentiment against the negro was so strong that 1t was said he would be iynched if captured.
 Several days after the crime was com mitted Brown was captured in Russell County. He was quietly brought to Montgomery and lodged in jail for safe keeping. fudge A. A. Evans of the Third Judicial Circuit, declined to Order special term of the court to try the me- gro, giving as a reason that he did not propose to have the negro legally mob. bed In 4 other words, Judge Evans thought it best to wait until the anger of the community had cooled
 The negro remained in jail in Montgom- cry until his trial at the fall term of the Circuit Court of Barbour County. Judge Evans, in a letter to Governor Jelks. de- clares that a. fairer- or more impartial trial was never given citizen of Ala bama and that in his opinion the ver- dict of the jury should not be disturbed. Brown was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged January 2.
 The friends of Brown have been par ticularly active in trying to get the sen- tence commuted to life Imprisonment and an earnest appeal was made to the Par donirg Board which met yesterday It is said that two members of the Board favored recommending to the Govern or that the sentence be commuted an3 that the third member of the Board posittS J. ly declined to endorse a recommendation. CEder the circumstances the papers n the case were sent to the Governor with out recommendation.
 Governor Jeks having recently return ed from Eufaula was entirely familiar with the circumstances of the murder of Mcleod and as soon as the record reach- ed him he wrote across the margin of the sheet Refused This simple word carried with 1t the last chance of hope for Bob Brown and he will be hanged tomorrow.

Seven reasons why "old 4Father" Rye is the best whiskey:-
 It is pure, old, rich and mellow, and is never bottled until it is 15 years old.
 It stimulates and invigorates.
 It is aged by time and, therefore, it is natures pleasant tonic. It con- tains no foreign sweetening matter and, therefore, does not ferment or make sour stomach.
 It does not burn when you drink it, thereby proving that it is chemi- cally pure.
 It is aged by nature, viz., light, heat, air and age It was drank years ago by our Forefathers, and they knew pure whiskey was the best.

Lay Like Dead for Ten Days.

The York Pa. Gazette, of February Essays:
Mrs. Rudolph SENT, of 1873 North Grant
street, several weeks ago, while confined to
bed from severe. spell of sickness, suffered
such exeruciating pain that she went into a
comatose state, in which she remained for a
period of ten days.
During the entire period of ten days the
afflicted woman neither tasted nourishment,
moved muscle nor showed any outward
signs of life.
Last Friday morning while the husband of
the aflctedwoman was standing by the bedside
of his sick wife he was startled to see her open
her eyes and say: 81 have been far away,
and / am going again soon, but before | do
go want to see my babies"
The children were hastily summoned and
the first sight of her little ones seemed to inn
part new life. She continued to improve in
health and last evening her attending physi-
clan had hopes of her ultimate recovery.
