Although some nervousness is per-

ISOLATED Press learns the Emperor has
already expressed a determination to
punish whoever is responsible for the

Watson Now Says Lamb Had Moth
ing to DO with the Killing.

Watson, the negro who is confined in
the county Jail on a charge of killing
Garrett v. Chamberlain at Kirkwood,
and who few days ago confessed that
he was the murderer, has made anoth-
er statement. which differs somewhat
from the first one. In his original con-
fession Watson stated that white
man by the name of A. G.. Lamb, who
is a prominent citizen of that commu-
nifty, had given him the rife, and told
him that If he did not kill Chamber
lain, he lamb. would kill him. Now
the negro says that that part of his
statement which refers to Mr.. Lamb is
not true, and says that Mr.. Lamb had
nothing to do with it.
Mr.. Lambs hearing has been set
for tomorrow. His friends are con-
fident that he will get out of the trou-
BILE with little difficulty.

serious charge of arson hanging over
him and a 5000 bond, which he failed
to give, Jesse Harrington, a young
white man of Phenix City, Ala, has
been carried to Russell county Jail at
Scale, Ala.
Harrington was arrested by the Gil
rard, Ala, officers for disorderly con-
duct on the street. About 2:S0 o'clock
Sunday morning persons who reside
near the Girard Jail were awakened
by the screams of the prisoner calling
for help. They fastened to the Jail
and found the building enveloped in
smoke. The fire was put out before
very much damage was done. The bed

the cell the prisoner became alarmed,
as the flames were getting beyond his
control He was trying to burn hole
through the door so as to escape.

Reasons For First Voters.

A young man asked for some good
reasons wyh he should vote the Re,
publican ticket. A man of National
reputation has given a few of them,
viz:
First: You should vote the Repub.
iican ticket. because the record of
that party for the fifty years of its
existence has been so uniformly hon
orable and consistent that It is to-
day a crown OF glory to every man to
say that he was one of its founders.
ana has continued to act with il to
this day. 1t is a privilege 10 any
young man to come into such an in
heritance No other party has exist ted
but its honora Bile members have at
some time or other been obliged to
admit that its principles were vicious
and its candidates unworthy of their
support.
Seconds: You should vote The Re
publican ticket because the party is
opposed TO free trade and free silver,
and has consistently stood for protec-
ton TO both labor and capital
Third: You should vote the Repub-
Iican ticket because that party was
organized to make the Land Of free
men, free soil and free speech. Hav-
ing thus accomplished its purpose. if
is the party best fitted to serve them.
Fourth: You should vote the Repub-
'lican ticket because a man is known

PARTY SHOWN UP IN IT'S
TRUE LIGHT.

Any one listening to the speeches
of State Senator John j. Cornwell the
Democratic nominee for governor
would think he had been an advocate
| of the bills of the Tax Commission.
Mr.. Cornwell claims that he was an
original tax reformar. He asserted
this in his speeches at Clarksburg and
at Wayne, and doubtless elsewhere.
He bases his record as an original
tax reformer on two facts. First, that
he voted for bill in 1899 to tax e>,
press companies. The bill was I'M
constitutional and was vetoed by the
governor The bill was copied from a
law passed in Kentucky ten years ago,
which was declared unconsti Gu tional
by the Supreme CourS of the United
States. The same law was passed in
Indiana and also declared unconsti-
tutional by the same high court.
Second, that he INTRODUCED a freso-
luton in the Senate in 1880 request
ing some committee to inquire woeth-
err any State taxes could be taken off.
He was SO in earnest about It that he
says he never heard of the resolution
after that

reformer resulted in-11othing-
