JOHN SMITH DEAD.
One Of the List Murderers Called to
Answer Before the Judge Of all
the Earth.

john Smith, charged with COM
plicity in the List murder, and
one of the three Smiths for whom
Gov. Vardaman has offered 500
reward each, died of typhoid few
er at the home Of his father, Brunt
Smith, near Gum Grove, Mon
day night.
John Smith, in common with
others implicated in that murder,
had been dodging the officers and
lying about in the woods ever
Esince the FrankIins and Will Por-
ter were arrested and placed in the
county Jail, and is alleged to have
brought on his fatal illness by this
kind of exposure. DR.. Parsons,
| of this city, was called to see him,
during his dying hours, but be
was then beyond the power of
medical aid.
He leaves young wife and sew

MalTECApS WORKING An OLD TRICK.

Tn keeping with their general
character and shady, coWardly
methods, a late tact taken BY the
white caps in this county IS to
write anonymous letters and no
ltices to State witnesses and per-
sons they fear as such, threaten
ing them with dire and awful ven
geance If they do not emigrate, or
dare to 90 on the witness stand
and testify to what they know
about the white cappers and their
crimes. They are losing faith in
their Infamous cath (binding their
members to perjury holding their
crowd together and pulling those
guilty Of criminal acts out of the
clutches Of The law, and so they
are threatening to visit the death
penalty, dire and bloody, on those
they fear as State witnesses.
In attempting to work this old
trick of criminals at bay, the
white cappers seem to forget that
they are only emphasizing the
laWless character of their organi-
zation and the greater necessity
for the law officers and all good
citizens breaking it up and send
ing its leaders to the scaifold or to
the penitentiary. Fortunately the
State has too much testimony and
too many witnesses who can not
be intimidated by cowardly anon
ymous threats, for such efforts to
defeat the ends of Justice. Indeed,
it's more than likely that some of
these letters, so evidently written
for the purpose of intimidation,
rather than as a warning of real
danger, will get their authors into
deeper trouble than they now find
themselves.
Men love darkness rather than
light, because their deeds are
evil, = said He who spake as never
man spake. How true this is Of
the white cappers. Perjury, MUIR
der, coWardly deeds and threats
in the dark are their stock in
trade by which they hope to pros
per and escape justice, but such
methods will not save them this
time from the just penalty of their
crimes.

HIGGINS TO GET THE PRIZE
VIII Probably BE the Republican Nom

Saratoga, y. Y, Sept. II. - Unless
the forces behind the candidacy of
Lieutenant Governor Frank W. Hig-
gins change position before Il vote is
taken there is every indication of his
nomination by the Republican state
convention TO head the state ticket as
candidate for governor But one name
is mentioned in opposition that of ex-
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. All
talk of a third candidate has been
abandOnedand thecOntcst lies between
these two men. Governor Odcll and
his friends are outSpOken i'm their adj
yocacy Of Higgins. and i'm a poll claim
to have 900 votes assured in his favor.
The conventions total vote 81.
Senator Platt and Woodrun'S advo-
Gates do not by any means admit this
situation. and allege most cmphatical.
ly that they will carry the fight 10 the
floor of the convention. Many believe.
however. that Higgins will be the
unanimous nominee of the convention.
The final decision of the Higgins adj.
Vocates to insist upon the nomination
of the lieutenant governor was arrived
at in conference held in Governor
OdelFs quarters at which were present
all of the leaders i'm the
Higgins movement. The nomination of
lieutenant governor probably will be
offered 10 the Kings county men.
