 His sanity.

Ray Minette, Nov. 5.-(SpeciaL)--The iurv in the Greene Foley case after be- ing out since Saturday evening. re- turned a verdict in favor of Foley just before the court adjourned tonight.

 The contest in this case has been to the Supreme Court of the State twice and has been in active litigation for almost four years. Out of this ease grew an attempt to have MT. Foley in- dicted for a supposed attempt to bribe a jury here when Sheriff James M. Armstrong, now dead, was in office
 The amount involved in the suit was something more than s10o0O.
 J. F, Smith will be tried Friday be- fore a jury in the Circuit Court at which time 1t Will be determined whether he is sane or not. He is the man who killed Stuart McRae. of Mo- bile7 at Daphne on Labor Day

 VO4E AT OYSTER BAY.

Washington, Nov 5.-President Roosevelt cast ballot S4 at 9:55 o'clock this morning, at Oyster Bay, thus reg istering his choice as to two Asseci- ate Justices of the Court of Appeals.

The stay in the village was only sufficient to al- low the President and Secretary Loeb to vote.
 The President reached Washington at 6:l6 o'clock tonight.

THOMAS IS SENT UP
NEGRO DOCTOR or ANNIsrON GETS
 THRESs YEARS.
Judge Coleman Comments From Bench On Practice of Friends Who
 Tried To influence the

Anniston. Nov. 5--(Special.) )--C. B. Thomas. the well known negro drug gist and physician convicted last week of criminal practice. was today given q sentence Of three years at hard labor bv Judge Coleman, of the City Court.
 Counsel for the negro made an earn est. appeal to the court that the sem tence should be only the minimum. two years. but Judge Coleman declined to modify his order.
 Judge Coleman briefly reviewed the case and agve some of his reasons for insisting on the sentence which he had imposed. Touching upon Thomas's statement made at the trial he frank ly confessed palpa ble disbelief of some parts of 1t as entirely unreasonable.
 He said that he had been approached outside the court room by number of intelligent friends of the negro. both white and black, and asked to limit the sentence to only two years. This, he said, was something that had never happened before in his experience as judge. and while he made no criti- cism of the friends of the negro and their interest in his welfare. he, as the court. could not consent the opinion that the offense committed was not very grave.
 He said he had weighed the matter very carefully and had sought to avoid establishing the opinion that he was seeking to oppress Thomas because he was leading character among the ne- groes, or that the court could afford to wink at such offenses.
 However" said Judge Coleman. 'tf any white physician In this town Is ever convicted before me of such an of fense, say here and now. shall cer- tainly give vim the limit of the law"
 Thomas has quite an extensive estate in the city, said to be worth $40. 1000 to s5o,O0o, with a lucrative practice among the negroes.

! Pensacola, Fla. Nov. 5---(Special.) )--- Papers found in a saloon today reveal ed the identity of the man who was asphyxiated in a boarding house last week as John Crick. Of Red Hill. Ky, and although the remains were buried in the potter's field after being held for two days for Identification. the brother has been notified and if 1t is desired, the body will be, ,exhumed anld shipped to Kentucky.
 From letters and cards it was learned that the man was a locomotive fire- man and a member of the Railway Fire mons Union.

people who had used them and been benefited by the wonderful discovery. Last night another large audience gathered and listened to the splendid entertainment afforded by the vaude- vile and black face artists on the platform.
 More than dozen persons who had been benefited by the use of Plant Juice and Plant Juice Liniment volun- tarily came forward to the platform and gave testimony in endorsement of the wonderful discovery. No such suc- cess has ever attended the introduction of remedy in this section of the State and a list of testimonials embracing some of the most prominent men in this city and surrounding country has been secured by the proprietor of this line of remedies.
 The Plant Juice Eminent continues to do it's work wherever used. Another splendid horse which had been put out of business by badly sprained hind leg, was given vigorous and thorough treatment with Plant Juice aceompan- jed by the proper application of the massage. with the result that the ami mai is now at work as well as If noth- ing had ever happened to 1t. This is but one more of dozen cases in which the liniment has been used effectively for this injury, and in every case enecting a permanent cure.
 But the real triumph over disease such as is common to mankind at this season of the year has been served by Plant Juice. These cases are not con fined to any particular class of people or disease. but reports have been made so general as to afford a settled con- viction in the minds of those who have used the remedies that there Is some- thing new under the sun. and that its value in the home is almost beyond estimation.
 For the present week the manage ment has prepared entertainments for every night of a most interesting char acter, being an entire change of pro gram from the last week.

CAME MANY MILES FOR AID
But It Was an Unnecessary Trip as Colonel Dillingham; Fills Mail Orders
 Promptly.

The fame of the Dillingham; medi- Elnes. 'Plant Juice" Plant Juice Lini- rnsnt," ''PIant Juice salve" and Plant Juice soap." is fast spreading over the length and breadth of this section of the State. Last evening a gentleman stepped up to the platform where the Dliingham lecturers were at work on Court Square. and asked for three bot ties of Plaint Juice.
 After he had been supplied he was particular to state that he had trav- eIed eighty miles from distant point in an adjoining county to this city for the express purpose of obtaining a supply of this wonderful remedy. He stated that a neighbor of his who had been ailing for a long time had been here the early part of last week and obtained a bottle of Plant Juice from Colonel Dillingham;. Ills symptoms were almost exactly similar to hls own, and the bottle had so completely cured shim that he felt no hesitancy in be- Iieying that the treatment would be equally good for him. He bought three bottles so that he could help his neigh bors and friends. ....
 Colonel Dillingham; explained to the gentleman that he need not have gone to the trouble and expense of making so long a trip, and that in future an order by mail or to the druggists would receive the same prompt attention as a personal request. Already a large number of mail orders have been re- ceived by Colonel Dillingham; from this immediate section and in each case shipments are promptly made. It is suggested that where several parties desire the remedies. clubbing party can be made up and the remittance sent under one name, to save express age, and insure prompt delivery. The mail order business is in spsciaI charge of one of the men 'here. and is given the promptest attention.
 All day yesterday Colonel Dillingham; and his assistants were kept busy sup plying private applications for the rem sdies and listening to the reports from
