Curtis lett to be Hanged.

Cynthiana, KY, September 24.--
After a trial, lasting eight days. the
jury in the case of Curtis Jett,
charged with the murder of Town
Marshal Thomas Cockrill, at Jack
son, KY, July 21, 1902, Tuesday
evening, rendered verdict of guilty
and fixed the punishment at death.
When the jury entered the court
room, after agreeing on verdict,
quiet reigned for few moments.
JetL mother had gone away earlier,
under the impression that no verdict
would be reached. The reading of
the verdict did not affect Jett, but
his brother was very much distressed.
Elijah Mckinney served as foreman
of the jury, and, after the delivering
of the verdict to the Court, the jury
was polled. The death sentence was
then read to Jett, after which he was
given over to the custody of the
deputy sheriffs. This has been the
second trial of Curtis Jett on the
charge of murder. In the first trial
for the murder of j. B. Marcum,
Jett and Thomas White were SEN
fenced to life imprisonment.
The jurors agreed among them
selves not to divulge the proceed
ings in the jury room. One juror,
however, stated that for four ballots
eleven jurors voted for the death
penalty and one for life sentence.
All agreed on the fifth ballot.

COLONY OF FRENCH PEOPLE
Select Location Near snmmeNsIle, on the
Southern Railway.

- ~. = > 1. ( Il .
Press mention has been made from
time to time regarding the efforts of
the Southern Railway Company to
induce French Canadians to locate
in a colonyat some available point
in the South. A large and free
tract of arabic and timber land, we'll
watered, and susceptible of crop
production, fruit culture, dairy and
stock farming, etc., near Summer
vile, S. g., twenty-four miles north
west from Charleston, was the prop
erty finally selected as point of
beginning.
The land and industrial agent of
the Southern Railway visited these
people in their New England home
towns on several occasions, and adj
dressed large meetings of them,
gathered for the purpose of hearing
his exposition of the Southern con-
ditions and opportunities. In July
last large delegation of these peo-
pie visited South Carolina and were
afforded every means of informing
themselves by personal investigation
and inquiry, as to the real induce
ments to be found in the historic
and hospitable region of old Charles
ton. Other places, too, were shown
to the delegation; but 80 extensive
tract of land, peculiarly well situated
and adapted to colony purposes ap-
pealed very strongly to them, and
they returned to the North with i'm
pressions most favorable.
Several meetings have since been
held in New England, and many
French Canadian farmers, business
men and expert artisans have sig.
nified their intention or their hope
OF locating in the South. A Catho-
lie church, to be presided over by
most estimable and indefatigable
rector; a parochial school, super
vised by the rector and his assistants;
store for the convenience of the
colony, and various structural fea-
lures, will in due time rise upon land
vacant and unpopulated, but waiting
only upon just such an enterprise as
the Southern Railway representatives
have long since contemplated.
The people who are to make their
homes on the broad acres thus held
in reserve are practical, sturdy and
worthy, not only as class, but indi-
vidually. They deserve the kind in
terest of all our people, and without
doubt they will prove themselves val
liable citizens and desirable neigh
bors.
An advance party of these home
seekers left Washington on Septem.
Der II. They will be followed from
time to time by other parties or
families, and as they arrive at Sum-
merville they will proceed to erect
their homes and clear up, plant and
stock their farms. With the advent
of spring it is believed that quite
settlement will have been formed,
and it is not improbable that it will
rapidly grow and expand into ham
let and a apopulous surrounding com.
munity of progressive and prosper
GUS farmers.

The question as to the prophet

The question as to the propricty
of physicians advertising in the
newspapers came up before the meet
ing of the Virginia Medical Society
at Roanoke, Va, the past week.
The society clearly defined its posi-
tion by the declaration that in the
future physicians may place business
cards and advertisements of private
hospitals in newspapers. In Char
lotte it does violence to professional
ethics for newspaper reporter to
even mention doctors name in con-
nection with a case, no matter of
what Importance it may be.-Char-

of this sudden cessation Of the work of

road is not definitely known. 1t is stated.
however. that a mutual understanding or
agreement has been reached between the

railroad building in this state. at least
not for the present. Chief Engineer r. A.
Thompson of the railroad commission is
sued a statement on January l of the

less than COO miles of railroad construct
ed in this state during the first six

new track built during the period named.
There will be very little new track built
