SAFE FROM FEVER
CASES IN HOMER, LA, DIAGNOSED
 AS MALARIA.
Telegram from Dr. Irion Reassurea President Sanders of State Health
 Department-small Apprehen- sion Now Felt From Pest.

Louisiana has had another slight yell low fever scare but in the long run 1t amounted to nothing. Four suspicious cases examined by the Louisiana State Health Officer. Dr. c. H. Irion, proved to be suffering from malarial fever, and not yellow fever.
 Dr. W. H. Sanders, State Health Of- ficer. yesterday received telegram from pr. Irion. telling him of the re- suit, of these cases examined at Homer La. They were reported to the Board of Health of that State as suspicious, and experts were immediately sent to make the examination.
 Under the new system of publicity in force since the epidemic of last year, a case of yellow fever would be made public as soon as 1t is found. Even the suspicious cases are reported together with the result of the examination.
 The belief now obtains throughout the South that Louisiana will pass through the summer without any fur ther appearance of yellow fever.

Bad Weather InJures Cotton, Not the
 Pest.

BuO Weutnef AmJuFes COttOus NOt the
 Pest.
 A Montgomery County farmer brought to The Advertiser office yester- day paper sack of decayed cotton bolls, which some of his neighbors feared evidenced the presence of either the boil weeyil or some other destruc- tive insect. It was the consensus sof opinion. however. among those who ex amined the decayed bolls that their condition was not due to an insect but to decay and rot, brought about by bad weather.
 The decayed bolls were only another evidence of the fact that the cotton crop in Alabama is disappointing in the extreme. The crop two months ago was as fine as 1t has ever been in Ala bama at that season. but now the out look is very discouraging. It Is said that the cotton on the lands between Montgomery and Union Springs Is the poorest ever borne by that land. And throughout Montgomery County, talk of poor crops is heard.

brought into court it was announced
that the jury had found him guilty
of the crime charged and that his
punishment should be fixed at in.-

The attorneys, however, will not
permit the case against Landers to
be dropped and they propose to carry
it to the supreme court for a de-

tion OF the evidence in the case OF

overcome by feelings of remorse and
a desire to unbnrden himself. made
a fall aud complete confession of
the crime OF numbering James Burke
on July l6, the Statement heing
made in the presence of the state
attorney and the sheriff. This FIRMLY
fixed the guilt Of the accused and
there was no room for doubt of his
conviction, the confession only MAX
ing the case against him all the more
conclusive.
In the evening a session of court
vas held, at which time Simons s.
Bradford, the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT, made their pleas. They
did not during the afternoon offer
to put in any evidence, but relied
solely on imp1essing the jury in a
way to make the best appearance
for their client. States Attorney
spangler summed up the evidence
presented before the jury. Judge
Smith gave his Instructions to the
jury in a clear manner, and at 8 80

the verdict was presented to the
court by its foreman, Geo. Book, jr.

PENDANT guilty, and fix the penalty
at imprisonment for life in the peni-
tentiary."
Vey listened to the reading of the
verdict without tile slightest trace
OF emotion as be saw himself cut of
from the world for the rest of his
life. He was taken to his cell In
the Jail to remain until taken to
