LOSING HIS APPETITE
Solitary Confinement Beginning
10 Tell on Brozier Smith.

Solitary CONTINENT is beginning
to tell on Brozler Smith, the negro
wife murderer, who is condemned to
die on the gallows March p.
He is not so gay and clipper as
he was when he had the privileges
of the run-around in the eolOred
quarters downstairs and was allow
ed TO associate with other prisoners.
Since bis removal to the death
cell he is becoming detected and in
spite of the fact that Sheriff Minnick
supplies him with the choicest Wand
he eats but very little, Brozier
says he has no appetite and does
not care for anything to eat.
Besides the reporter and officers
Brozier has but few callers. With
the exception Of his mother none Of
the members OF his race have visit
ed the condemned man. His mother
has been to see him once The
meeting between the two was devoid
OF ant sual scene. The two talked
together a few minutes In the pres
ence Of the death watch, and after
his mother had gone Brozier said he
didn' I want To see her any more. He
has expressed the hope that none of
his folks will visit him again. He
has not yet been visited by a minis
ter OF the gospel and should one call
1t Is doubtful II Brozier would con-
sent to see him.
Upon the reporters last visit 10
the death cell he found the CON
demned man In rather an uncom-
municative frame OF mind. He
showed no inclination to talk and it
was olny by a good deal of suasion
that be would answer the reporters :
questions. He took a protfered cigar
aud after lighting it putfed ii with
apparent satisfaction After watch
ing the curls of smoke ascend up
ward and pass cut through the bars
Brozier veutured the remark that il
was pretty fair weed. Ia reply -
the reporters questions Brozier
said be had had no callers since his
confiument Ia the death cell He
did not know what steps bis attor-
neys had taken in the matter of APP
plying To the governor for com
mutation Of his sentence. He SAID
they had not been to see him since
the sentence Of death was passed on
him by the court. Brozier has not
bad shave for several months and
thick stubby beard covers his face
When asked by the reporter why he
didn't have his whiskers removed
before his execution, he replied that
tt cost money Ia get a shave and Just
at this particular time he was short
on coin. This was the only refer
ence made to has impending doom.
Joe Beck has been placed on day
watch. and from him the reporter
learned that Brozier spent most ot
his time during the day watching
the people pass along the street.
The guard said the prisoner talked
but very little. Occasionally dur
Ing the day he would pass few
words with Mag Love, the uegress,
who occupies a cell Just across the
hall from him.

HANCOCK CASE
Decided in Favor OF L. & N. r. R.

In the case of j. L. Hancock
VS.. the l.. d N. r. r. which was
tried at Madisonville last Friday
judgement was rendered for the
defendant.
The plaintiff bought a ticket
at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, to Slaugh-
tersville, KY, March 3, 1908. In
order to reach Slaughtersville he
had to change cars at Guthrie,
KY, and at that point attempt
ed TO board the first train reach
ing there which passed through
Slaughtersville, and which was a
train not scheduled to stop at the
latter point. The conductor re-
fused to permit Hancock to ride
ride to Slaughtersville on that
train, and Hancock sued to re-
cover damages for his failure to
go to Slaughtersville on that
train. The defense was that
this was one of the fastest trains
of the company, not scheduled to
stop at Slaughtersville, or at but
few of the more important points
between Nashville and Evans
vile, and that the contract for
transportation which Hancock
made with the company only per-
mitted him. to travel from Guth-
RE to Slaughtersville on train
that stopped at the latter station.
The court decided this question
in favor of the railroad company
and denied Hancock a right of
recovery, holding the regulation
of the company to be a reason
able one.

KENTUCKY WEATHER
CAREFULLY WATCHED.
Some We'll Known Men and Women Of
Every pfofession Included in the List
Of Official Observers.

The Louisville Herald, in
speaking of the Kentucky wealth
err observers has the following in
its issue of Jan. 18th.
"Among the sixty weather OBJ
servers in Kentucky, there are
men and women of every station
of prosperity and learning, from
a nun in Catholic academy to a
millionaire"
Speaking of Mr.. Jno. B. At
kinson, President of the st. Ber-
nard Mining Co., of this place,
the writer continues:
"Mr. Atkinson is not a weather
observer for the money there is
in it, because the position from
the Government, which he is fill
ing, pays no salary. But as a
large land owner and as a man
interested in Hopkins county in
dustrial and mining enterprises,
he wanted the weather reports
and other data that is sent every
day to the voluntary observers,
and he decided to apply for the
position.
1.-THE weather reports from
darlington are sent with scrupu-
lous care, and when the Presi-
dent of the coal company is out
of the city, one of his assistants
sends in the information to the
Central Weather office.
Mr.. Atkinson is only one of a
number of rich Kentuckians who
help make up the report of Ken
lucky weather, which is tele-
graphed about the country twice
day from Washington.

GEORGE E. EVANS
Says he Will not Resign General Mana.
sership Of l. & N.

The report that George Z.
Evans, general manager of the
Louisville and Nashville, had re-
signed came last night in u tele-
gram from Nashville says Mon
days Courier-Journal. The re-
port was to the effect that Mr..
Evans would be succeeded by B.
M. Stark, superintendent of the
Southland North and Birming-
ham Mineral division Of tie sys-
TEN, with headquarters in Bir-
ingham. Mr.. Evans was seen at
the Gait House, and said:
81 have not resigned and have
no intention of resigning. This
is the first l have heard of the
report, and if any one expects
me to resign l shall have to dis
appoint him at present."
Mr.. Evans has the reputation
of being one Of the most astute
railroad managers in the South,
and the report that be is to re-
sign is generally discredited. Mr..
Stark, who is mentioned in the
report as his successor, is also
one of the most capable men in
the service of the Louisville and
Nashville. He has been with the
road for years, and before going
to Birmingham was superinten.
dent of tie Nashville terminals.
He established the system which
is in force there, and his work
has stood practically without
change since his transfer to the
more responsible position in
Birmingham.

French Wines Said to be Mostly limitations.

Lexington, KY, January 16.-
Revelations of the impurity of
foods in Europe are made by
Prof. Robert M. Allen, secretary
of the National pure food assoc
citation, in his report. Prof.
Allen has just returned from
London, Berlin and Paris, where
he had been sent by the associa-
ton to secure representation of
European scientists at the pure
food congress in st. Louis during
the Worlds Fair.
Prof. Allen said so per cent. of
the French wines and 80 per cent.
of their champagnes are eithere
authorizations or limitations. The
wines and champagnes are adul
terated with new alcohol, color
ing matters and acids deleterious<
to health. This assertion is based(
npon the analyses of 10000 we'll
selected samples of wines and
champagnes. M

ELlZABETHTOWN
Said to b, the Largest Mule Market in
the State.

Elizabethtown is rapidly forg-
ing her way to the front as a
mule market. During last week
there was not less than fifteen
mule buyers there from all points
in the South and every big
market in the South was repre-
sented. The sales of mules there
last week amounted to at least
$50, 900, which is very large
business for one week. Before
the season is over somewhere be-
tween fifteen hundred and two
thousand mules will be shipped
from there. All the mule dealers
are feeling extra good over the
market as large profits have been
realized on all the sales. The
top Of the market so far has been
paid to Goodin d Kimble of
Tonleville, and Bond, of Vine
Grove. They each sold a car
load for 5000 a head. Of course
they were extra fine and large
ones. Just now the feeders are
securing all the territory within
a hundred miles or Elizabeth
town in search of mules, but
very few are to be had.

WILL HANG.
Holland, Carney and Finch Have
Had Sentence of Death Pass
ed on Them.
MERIwErHER IS NOW ON TRIAL.
Charles Finch, the third of the

negroes put on tria at
Hopkinsvillc for the MUIR
der Of the unknown white man
near Penn broke on November IA,
will hang if the verdict OF the
Jury is enforced. A verdict of
guilty was brought in, fixing the
penalty at death. One man stood
for half day for life sentence,
but he finally came over to the
other eleven and agreed to vote
for death.
Frank Carney and George Hol-
land, the two men who actually
did the killing, were convicted
and a death verdict returned in
the case several days ago.
The trials have been conducted
rapidly and there has been no
undue haste. Ample latitude is
given the defense in each case,
but the evidence for the prison
ers is manifestedly a tissue of
falsehood and at variance with
the confessions made by all three
of the men who have been tried.
THE MERIwETHER CASE.
The trial of Frank Meriwether,
another of the negroes was en-
tered into Monday and by IL 80
the Jury was made up.
Meriwether is defended by r.
N. Lander and +. Ii. Ford, the
colored lawyers. The same at
torneys for the Commonwealth,
who conducted the other cases,
will have charge of this one.
The jury is az follows:
T. j. Word, j. w. Rogers,
Will Gilkey, j. w. Crabtree, r.
A. Haddox, f. 4. Quarles, w.
L. Meacham, F. B. Cobb, j. w.
Weldon, @. E. S. White, w. I.
Renshaw, ID. j. McCord.
The witnesses are the same as
in the other cases.
Meriwether is the man who
Holland said in his confession
struck the sleeping man with the
bludgeon that crushed his skull
and really killed him, before his
throat was cut by Holland.
There is hardly any ground for
doubt that Meriwether will re-
ceive a death sentence, like the
others already tried.
SHOCK KILLED HIM
Gus Jesup, an aged colored
man, died suddenly at the home
of Robert Glenn, COL, near Dow
ner's nursery, last Wednesday
night, says the Fairview Review.
He was the father Of George
Holland, who was given death
sentence at Hopkinsville on that
day for numbering the unknown
white man near Pembroke. He
heard the news shortly after the
verdict was returned, and it is
supposed the shock of the news
that his son was going to be hung
caused his death. SOUS" as he
was called, was a peaceful, quiet
negro, and was well thought of
by the white people who knew
him.
