lYNCHlNG AVERTED.
Man Who Killed Fayetteville Police
Hustled Out of Town.

Fayetteville. Tenn. May "a
lynching was narrowly averted here
today by the timely work of officials
who slipped off ON the o'clock train
today for Nashville with Charles H.
Waddle, who murdered Policeman
Pleas Nevis last night at 10 o'clock as
he sat in front of McElrey's store
reading newspaper. The crime was
the most brutal ever committed in this
county. Waddle was hunted all night
by officers. and this morning. realizing
that he could not get way, surrendered.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict
of murder, willfully, maliciously,
premeditatedly and with malice
aforethought by Waddle. Witnesses
testified that he walked along to where
the policeman had his chair tilted
back reading by the electric light
within, and without a word beat his
head into a pulp, smashing the plate
glass in his bloody fury.
The people were at first borrow
stricken. but this morning showed
that grim and determined men had
decided to give the murderer dose of
his own medicine, but they were
cheated out of their victim by the
officials.

Charles Jones, of I19 North College

the use of Browns Oil Ointment. He
says: III have been sufferer with piles
since 1882: have tried many different
kinds of medicine and spent lots of
mon,y. | get better results from Brown
Oil Ointment than all others by large

Rufus Benson, Fennville, Mich.
writes: "The great big assured eczema
on mothers side that had been there
nearly fourteen years was all healed
and completely cured in three week by
Browns Oil Ointment. 1t stopped the
pain In her side so that she slept well

NOT GUILTY..
Verdict Reached in Cases Against
Connor, Fish & We'll and
Cammins.

Nashville May 10.-The Government
has entered verdicts of not guilty in
the cases against j. Fl. Conner, Fish
& We'll and W. j. Cummins, who were
under indictment charged with aiding
and abetting W. w. Lea, individual
bookkeeper of the First National Bank
in abstracting and misapplying the
funds of that institution.
This action by the government was
taken under circumstances that are in
themselves complete vindication of
those concerned, removing the charge
that has hung over them for over a
year, and wholly generating them,
lifting every ground for suspicion that
might have Oeen entertained. 1t is
established beyond doubt that Lea,
in his endeavor to conceal his manipu-
lation of the Connor Brady account.
held out credits that should have gone
to W. J. Cummins, J. d. Boiling and
Fish & We'll; that they were not
credited with deposits in order that
balances might be better maintained.

War Claim Question Uppermost in
Methodist Conference.

Dallas. Tex, May 9-It developed
today that the Methodist war claim
question will raise a much larger
disturbance in the General Conference
than II was thoughI possible after the
blows that were dealt the opposition
at the body and that the agitation will
not cease even with the final battle,
which will probably be fought next
week IN open Conference. Nothing
else Is talked of and sensations are
arising every day that are shaking the
delegates like ice baths
All efforts To settle the troubled
waves of dissensioD nave proved abor-
tive. Notwithstanding the conserya-
tives have II majority of more than
two TO one. Ii is clearly evident that
the minority is well organized and its
leaders resourceful while the other
side has no definite organization and
thus far has won every fight only be-
cause armed with seemingly incontro-
vertible facts.
Bishop Morrison, under question of
privilege, addressed the Conference,
protesting his ignorance of the con-
tents of the Senate letter and denying
that it met his sanction or expressed
his sentiments. This statement was
a startling sensational.
Bishop Wilson stated Thursday that
the letter was read before the whole
college and that the agreement was
that it be read as an appendix to the
Bishops address.
In 1899 Bishop Morrison, in a written
communication, protested against the
action of the other Bishops on the war
claim, the first time in the history of
he church division had ever &C.
,urred. 1t is thought here that he will

Doubt and Devotion.

Thomas has many followers in hi
doubt; how few in his devotion He
saw through a glass darkly, but he
felt with his heart the heart of God,
and doubling, he went in the way
of Christ. Our doubts we cannot control,
but our love may be freely given, and
he who loves and follows in life and
service is the true disciple and will
find the way of God leaoing through
unknown dangers to the Cavalry of
suffering and finally to the Olivet of
ascension into the presence of God. -

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion
impaired, with little or no appetite, nc
ambition for anything, and a feeling
that the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that during
winter, there has been an accumulation
of waste matter in the system. Her.
bine will remove it, secure to the secre-
tons O. right exit, and by its tonic eff
feet, fully restore the wasted tissues
and give strength in place of weakness.
