CONVICTED OF MURDER
OF MILES BARNETT.
j. ID. Troy Was Found Guilty After
Trial at Brunswick.


Brunswick, Ga, June 1O.-J. D. Troy,
one of the Americas negroes charged
with the murder of Miles Barnett, also
of that city, was convicted in the Su-
perior Court to-day and sentenced to
serve ninety-nine years in the peni-
tertiary, the jury recommending him
to the mercy of the court.
The case was a hard fought one on
all sides. and the attorneys for the de-
Tense tried to establish an alibi. The
other negro, Cherry. who is also charg-
ed with being a party to the murder,
will not be tried until the December
term of the court.
The murder for which Troy was con-
victed was heinous one. He came
here on an excursion from Americas
with Barnett On the train Barnett
displayed quite a large amount of
money, something over $1,000. A day
later he was found a few miles from
the city with his neck broken.
officers worked on the case and
finally succeeded in locating a hackman
who claimed that he carried Barnett
and the other two negroes out to the
cypress mills. and returned with only
the two who are charged with the
murder. The hackman was the most
important witness for the state, as
the defense introduced a number who
claimed that they were with Troy on
the night of the murder.
1t is understood tonight that the ne
gro hackman, who is in Jail. has brok-
en- down after learning the result of
the trial, and says he did not take the
convicted man out in his carriage, but
so testified for fear he might be pun
ished.
The case is attracting considerable
interest in the city.

APPEAL FOR ARKANSAS.
Cotton Seed Wanted, But the Gov
eminent Had None.


Washington, June i0.-A strong APP
peal for advisory assistance for the
people in the fiood-stricken country in
the West reached here to-day in a
telegram to the Department of Agri-
culture from Representative Charles C.
Reid of Arkansas. He wired as fol-
lows:
Almost the entire Arkansas river
bottoms inundated. Probably all the
cotton crop destroyed 1t is extremely
late to replant. Can you suggest the
kind of cotton seed that mature early
in the fall and where it may be obtain
ed? 1t is contended that cotton plant
ed now will not mature. Please fur
nish as early as possible any informa-
ton or suggestions you may have of
value to us. The loss to this country
Is the biggest ever known. Many fam
lilies are destitute"
Acting Secretary of Agriculture Brig
ham Immediately conferred with his
assistants and later Col. Brigham tele-
graphed in reply that he regretted that
the department cauld not furnish the
seeds, and said:
IF the local seed is planted imme-
diately by the 18th, there is possibility
of getting a crop, but the chances are
against it. 1t is difficult to procure
seed from here in time to make a
crop"
Col. Brigham then suggested two va
rieties of cotton and added: There is
better chance to secure crop of corn
If planted by July l. Consult with the
experiment station at Fayetteville re-
garding the advisability of planting
sweet potatoes and especially cowpeas.
There is always a good sale for cow
pea seed"

AMBASSADOR MCCORMICK
is NOT COLDLY TREATED.

st. Petersburg, June 0.-Ambassador
Mccormick says the story is absurd
that he has been coldly treated by Rus
sian society because, as a part of his
official duties, he takes care of Japan
csc interests or as a consequence Of
the supposed friendliness in the United
States towards Japan.
The story may have been derived
from the fact that the lease of Lauch-
tenburg palace, where the ambassador
has been living, and where the offices
of the embassy have been for six
months, expires July 1. and has not
been renewed. Prince Kozebu rented
the palace to Mr.. Mccormick last Sep
TENDER as an accommodation until July
l. at which time the Prince desired to
reoccupy it. AS the date for the ex-
piration of the lease approached the
Prince offered to renew it, but Mr.. Nc
Cormick did not care to do so.

During the last four years Miss KIM

and she was unable to look after her

many things, and this is the reason
Mrs Culliton was chosen to be her
trustee and executrix. One who had
known her for many years says that
she never heard her mention Mr.. Whit

weeks before her last illness. Then

STRANGE ROMANCE
IN 100000 WILL.
Courtsbfp and Engagement TO
Woman who Left Him n Fortune.

Harrison whittemore Tells OF
Courtsbip and Engagement to
Woman who Left Him n Fortune.
From the New York Herald.
Boston. Mass, May 2S.-With the
death of Miss Elizabeth C. Kimball is
brought to light the story of a court :
ship and betrothaI of nearly fifty years
ago. Why she should have left nearly
all her property, estimated at about
sec, 900, to Harrison Whittemore, of
Dorchester, to be held in trust for him,
and at his death to be distributed
among various churches and missionary
organizations, is explained by her 10y
atty to the only man she ever loved.
BY her will Miss Kimball, who was
sixty-three years old, practically cuts
off thirty-one cousins and other rera-
tives so that Mr.. Whittemore, sixty
seven years old, married, and the faith
er of a family, may share in the bene-
Ats Of her estate so long as he lives.
Equally remarkable is the fact that
Mr.. Whittemore is as much surprised
as the heirs are chagrined. In his
school days he met, wooed and won
the woman who remained true to him,
only to have the pretty little courtship
shattered for a reason not generally

step is sprightly and his eye clear.

tears.

Little Rock, Ark, June 10.-A spe-
cial to the Gazette from Rector says:
Early risers in Rector this morning
saw an efffgy of Gov. Davis hanging
from a pole in conspicuous place.
This expression of apparent disap-

Mart Vowel, who was executed for
the murder of William Lovejoy, from
the gallows came from an unknown
source.
Attached to the picture of the Gov

with care, as the picture was a very
good likeness of the Governor.
The picture was taken down and
burned soon after its discovery.

TURN OVER TIME.
When Nature Hints About the Food

When Nature Hints About the Food.
When there's no relish to any food
and all that one eats doesn't seem to
do any good then is the time to make
turn over in the diet for that's Ma
lures way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years l followed
railroad work. much of it being office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest, and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants these together with the sed-
entary habits were not long in giving
me dyspepsia and stomach trouble
which reduced my weight from eos
to $50 pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more 1 ate the
poorer l got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much / had eaten.
Then l commenced a fair trial of
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how
a small saucer of ii would carry me
along, strong and with satisfied appe-
lite, until the next meal with no sem
sation of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
II have been following this diet
now for several months and my inn
prove ment has been so great all the
others in my family have taken up the

Che Foo, June II, Noon.-Letters re-

at Port Arthur state that applica-

authorities to allow the Norwegian
steamer Sentis to take foreign non
combatants away from Port Arthur. 1t
is thought that the Russian authorities
will grant the request. The fact that
the application has been made would
indicate that the entrance to the har-
Dor of Port Arthur is at least partially
clear, as the Sentis is a large ship. She
has been at Port Arthur ever since the
