Wife Finds Body o! Her Husband.

Concord, Ca, December 28.-The
dead body of j. A. Park, a young
farmer whose home is near Neal, was
found in the road, near his home, by
his wife this morning.
He left home yesterday morning
about 9 o'clock, and not returning
last night, his wife became uneasy,
and being still absent this morning
she started out to search for him.
About two hundred yards from the
house she came upon his body, which
was cold in death, he having been
murdered some time during the
night. a heavy stick was found
near the, body, with which the mans
head had been crushed to a pulp.
There is no clew to the perpetrator
of the crime. Robbery is supposed
to have been the motive, as not a
cent was found on the body, while it
is said he had forty of fifty dollars
when he left home yesterday.
PARKS ASSASSIN LYNCHED.
Neal, Ca, December 29.-Herbert
Simmons, a negro, was lynched here
to-day for the killing of j. A. Park, a
white man, and one of the commu-
nity's best known citizens. The
crime was a horrible one, and took
place on the night of the 9th in
stant. Mr.. Park was going to his
home from this place and when ap-
preaching the house he was knocked
down with hand-stick and his skull
crushed. After coroner's jury had
rendered their verdict that Park
came to his death at the hands of
Herbert Simmons, colored man liv-
ing near, the prisoner was started to
Zebulon jail Enraged citizens
thought best to meet the ends of
justice by taking him from the officer
and hanging him to the limb of a
tree. They also riddled his body
with bullets.

Girl Jumps to instant Death.

A woman 81 years old, known as
Cecil Hall, jumped from third
story window in New York last
Tuesday and met instant death. Her
act created commotion in the
neighborhood, where, it was declared,
the girl was screaming for hel p when
she was seen to fling herself in a
nude condition head foremost from
the window. The coroner took
charge of the matter and immedi-
ately gave it as his opinion that the
girl was not a suicide, but had been
detained against her will and was
attempting to escape. Later he
modified his statement somewhat,
pending further investigation. The
woman's clothing was found scat
tered about the room from which
she leaped.

ber II in the rooms of the Arlington
Club, his head being nearly severed
from his hcdy ~ either knife or a
hatchet. John Griffith, marine
engineer, was arrested almost imme-
diately after the assassination and
charged with the crime. The victim

rooms by Griffith, who was seen a
few minutes thereafter leaving the
place by e rear entrance. Feeling

COUNTRY IN STORMS GRASP.
Storm Swept from the Rockies to New York.
Worst in Fifteen Years.

Chicago, December 2S.-One of the
most severe storms of recent years
has been raging through the terri
tory lying between the Rocky Noun
tains and the Great Lakes since early
yesterday morning, and has caused
much trouble to street Car compa-
nies, railroads and telegraph COM
panies. In its extent the storm was
the most widespread of any during
the last fifteen years. Counting the
fog as a acomponent part of the storm,
it stretched clear from the Rocky
Mountains to New York and from
Winnipeg to New Orleans. The
fatalities reported here as due to the
storm are three men killed.
Reports from Kansas City were
that the storm extended from Mis-
souri, as far south as the Indian Ter
ritory and was accompanied through
out its entire length by high winds
and snow drifted badly.
The late reports from Wisconsin
are that the, storm was the most
severe ever experienced in that Sec
tion of the country. Damage in the
city of Madison is estimated at $780,
600. In Indiana the damage done
by the storm was especially heavy in
the oil fields, where fully 500 der.
ricks were blown down and all ope-
rations suspended. The loss on der
ricks alone in the neighborhood OF
Muuice is placed at 100000 and at
$4,000 around Portland.

Lucky Cop to Mine Gold.
[Greenville News.]

Police officer Cureton is consider
ing the development of the gold
mine which was discovered sometime
ago on his place in the Tiger river
section of this county. He owns
about sixty acres of land, and on one
large hill several veins, rich with the
yellow ore, have been discovered.
Mr.. Cureton has a number of large
nuggets which were found lying on
the surface of the ground after a
rain. He also has several pieces of
loose rock which are full of gold.
One of the wells on the place is
0drGed with this rock, and Officer
Cureton thinks that if the curbing
were removed at least 500 worth
would be secured. The gold veins
are located near the mines formerly
owned and operated by the McBees

South have at last carved out their
emancipation from the czar-like
dominion of Wall street.
Listen to no proposals from buyers,
except when they offer you 10 cents
per pound spot cash for, your cotton.
When prices advance sell your cot
ton slowly, and do not at any time
rush it upon the market. Those
who are strongest in the South had
better carry over 100000 bales of
this crop and reduce the acreage for
next year so per cent than sacrifice
cotton at present production. The
interstate cotton convention which
is being called to. meet at New
Orleans on January "a, 25 and 26,
will devise ways and means for pro-
tecting the producers in the future
from the ravages of speculation, and
also definite plan by which the
acreage can be positively reduced
for 1903. Every farmer who can
attend that convention throughout
the South ought to do SO. The
round-trip rate from all points east
of the Mississippi will be only one

Gates of appointment to every farmer
who desires to attend as a regularly
authorized delegate from his State.
The head officials of the Cotton
Gro wers' associations and other agri-
cultural organizations in the differ
ent cotton States also have this
authority. Sell no cotton for ninety
days, and the "bears" will be put out
of business and the South will have
been redeemed, and King Cotton

Congressman l.. f. Livingston, of
Georgia, is leading fight at Wash

present method of making crop re-
ports. Col. Livingston hopes to
have Congress sustain his efforts "to
obtain all sources and kinds of infor-
nation upon which the Department
of Agriculture based it's recent re-
port as TO the acreage and poduction
of cotton" Applauding Col. Liv-
ingston, the Atlanta Constitution
says among other things: GA statis-
tical guess which cost the farmers Of
the South millions of dollars and
which had several similar disastrous
precedents must not go unchallenged
by those who have the South's well
fare. 80 close to heart" The fight
Col. Livingston is making is good
one and he should receive every
assistance possible from the Southern
farmers. He merely asks them to
endorse his demand for an investiga-
ton of the way in which the crop
estimates are arrived at.

LIFE SENTENCE MAN ASKS FOR PARDON.
Senator Tillman Asks Governor to Investigate
Case OF Geo. Ennis, Sent Up for Arson.
[The State, December 2s,l

[The State, December 49,
With Christmas came request to
the Governor for pardon for a life
sentence man who is now in the
State prison. The man is George
Ennis from Barnwell county. The
request came from Congressman Yes
passion Warner, of Illinois, chairman
of the house committee of revision
of laws. The matter will be investi-
gated by the Governor. The letters
in the case are as follows:
Gov. d. G. Hayward.
Dear Governor / enclose you q
letter which explains itself. The
writer is member of Congress from
Illinois and very fine gentleman
and it seems that this man in whom
he is interested is at least worthy of
having you examine into his record
and into the circumstances of the
crime and see whether he is being
held in prison unjustly or at least
longer than the crime would warrant,
supposing him to have been guilty.
Please look this up and do what you
can as personal favor to me and
oblige, Yours sincerely,
b. r. Tillman.
The letter enclosed is as follows !:
My Dear Senator: You will re-
member that spoke to you yester-
day in relation to one George Ennis,
who is now serving a life sentence in
the penitentiary in South Carolina.
Ennis enlisted in the Federal volun-
teer army st the commencement of
the Civil war in my county, where
he then lived, and where his people
now reside. AT the close of the war
he settled in South Carolina, in what
county ! do not know, and was after
wards indicted for setting fire, as l
am informed, to small shed con-
tanning mule. The shed and the
mule were burned. Ennis was tried
and found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged and on the recommendation
of the Judge and the prosecuting at
torney who tried him, his sentence
was commuted to life Imprisonment.
Ennis insists that he is innocent,
and it has since been ascertained that
some other person, colored, l believe,
set fire to the shed.
Ennis has now served in the peni-
tentiary more than 25 years, and 1
submit that his punishment has been
amply sufficient, even though he did
set fire to the shed.
His relatives live in my home
county, Dewitt county, ILL.,, and he
has not a relative or friend of my
knowledge in your State.
If you will kindly ask your Gov
ernor TO have Ennis's record in the
penitentiary examined, and it he
finds that his conduct has been good
and the circumstances justify, /, as
well as his many friends in Dewitt
county, ILL.,, where you certainly
know you have many friends, will be
sincerely gratified.
Very respectfully,
V. Warner.

STRAIGHT Facts.

A whole lot of fancy phrases can be
written about remedies, but it takes
facts to prove anything-good straight
facts. And the strongest fact you ever
heard is that Tannopiline is the best cure
for piles on the market. 1t cures abso-
lutely. Has healing, soothing effect
from the start.
All druggists have it for 81 jar. Ask

This made quite hit with the rec

invited out to dinner one evening q
series of conundrums were passed
around.
"The divine saw his chance. and he
asked the same question: why is a
