NEGRO WHO WAS FOUR TIMES
REsPITEO FINALLY PLACED
ON THE GALLoWs.
Made Short Talk Before He Was
Hanqed-Negro Preacher Thanks
People for Allowing Law
To Take lis Course.

BAXLEY, Ca, Sept. 11.-Neal Ryals
a negro, was legally hanged today for
assault upon Mrs. Oyersueet, an aged
lady, last spring. Just before the
drop fell the negro made a talk as
serting his innocence.
A negro preacher attending Ryal
thanked the white people for allowing
thaaIaw to take its course.
Ryals was tried and convicted last
March, but his execution has been de-
layed from time to time on account Of
a motion for a new trial which was
decided against him b. the supreme
court and then by an appearance be
fore the prison commission, and finally
before the governor He has had sew
eral respites in order that all OF his
claims could be considered.
His attorneys were confident Of a re-
versal of the sentence by the supreme
court purely on the ground of INSULT
cheney 'of testimony, but all efforts to
save his neck failed
Although the history of this case
has been given to the public it Will
be of iuterest to many to hear it
again. On aSGertain Monday morning
last September negro named Nancy
Brown went to the home Of Mr.. Mar
vim Oversueet. near Surrency, and
by his conduct .insulted and frightened
Mrs. OyersTeet.
Woman Blinded With Sand.
She reported the matter and Nancy
Brown was sought by a mob and would
have been lynched but for the fact
that he made sure Of his escape. On
Friday afterward, Mrs. Oyerstreat was
alone on her front porch, when negro
suddenly rushed upon her from behind,
and as she attempted to look around,
he threw sand in her eyes, preventing
her from seeing him, and Otherwise
brutally. assaulting her, leaving her in
an unconscious condition.
When he threw the sand in her eyes
he id. i told you I would get you
if ycu told on me" or words to that
effect She naturally thought from his
language that the negro was Brown,
whom she had reported ON Monday be-
fore. Hence she told that it was Brown
who assaulted her and on that report
the governor was asked TO offer re-
ward for the capture of Nancy Brown,
and the request was granted. One or
two days after the assault it was
learned that Nancy Brown was about
20 miles away at the time of the as
sault and Immediately the crime was
charged to Neal Ryals.

WHAT THE
KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Us Strong And Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
OF impure matter daily. when unhealthy
some OF this impure matter is left in
the blood This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism. govt. gravel, disorders
OF the cyesight and hearing. dizziness.
irregular heart. debility. drowsiness,
dropsy. deposits in the urine, etc. But
ii YOU keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
Levi o. Cameron, living in Elkton,
Md. says: II used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they acted very benehcially
in my case They helped me TO such
an extent that | have not felt any
symptoms Of kidney trouble since TAX
ing them about month ago"

Big Crowds at Munger & Longs

Munger & Long, the big department
store of Camden, have requested us to
extend to the people of thisY connt their
appreciation for so many OF their outof-
town friends being present during their
Anniversary week which closed Saturday
The big store certainly looked at It's best,
with greater display OF merchandise than
ever. Everything needed in the spring re-
quirements seemed to be on hand at Mum
ger & Longs at attractive prices, and COM
ments on the tasteful manner in which the
store was decorated for the occasion wera
very numerous.
There is no use denying the fact that
every season, people are realizing the folly
of the old custom Of going over to Phila-
delphia, when the best merchandise of the
world is to be>found right at Munger &
Longs store, and, naturally, for less cost
on account Of their lower expenses. The
store is now ready to supply the clothing
aud outitting demands for the entire
family, as well as to supply the various
necessities that bring comforts in the inner
furnishings of the household. Won't be
long now before there will be railroad
station right at Munger x Longs door, hut
meanwhile, all trolleys make convenient
connections for the benefit of out of town

GOV. FORT PLIES VETO.

Governor Fort vetoed bunch of schemes
Of ths legislature last Monday, among
them being the scheme to relieYe banks
from certain taxation. In killing this law
be said
This is an act for the taxation of shares
Of national banks belonging to residents Of
this state. The object and purpose OF this
bill is admittedly to ascertain and fix the
amount of each share Of stock Of such a
bank for the purpose Of taxation, by adding
together the amount OF the capital, surplus
and undivided profits and then by deduct-
| ing therefrom the assessed valuation Of the
real estate Of the bank, together with all
property which it holds which is exempt
from taxation, and which forms part of
its invested capital and undivided profit,
and dividing the remainder thus obtained
by the number Of shares Of stock which
constitutes the capital Of the bank. If
there be enough valuation in the real es-
tate and the securities exempt from taxation
to offset the entire value of the stock of the
bank, there would be,ln that event, in this
state, no tax upon the shares of national
bank stock in the hands OF the holders
thereof
"Any act which seeks to accomplish this
result, in view of the very large amount OF
ratables arising from this class Of personal
property in our state, should receive serious
consideration before it IS made law.
That there is injustice in the present
method of taxation many believe. That a
basis can be found for the taxation OF this
class of stock which shall be just and reas-
enable have no doubt, but cannot bring
myself to believe that either the public in
terest or the welfare OF the interests that
advocate this bill will be promoted by its
becoming law
This message accompanied II. 290.
sThis act amends section | OF the act ap-
proved April 8, 1903 The act of 1908
authorizes the board having control of the
finances in any state to issue bonds of the
city to an amount not exceeding five dollars
for each inhabitant OF the State for the re-
paving of paved streets. This bill before me
would increase this power of bonding to
seven dollars for each inhabitant OF the
state.
81 think the whole principle of this bill
is vlcious.p
Senator Leavitt's prison will bill, got
the axe for these reasons:
81 am unable to give my approval to this
bill. It appropriates 1925, 900 for new
wing to the state prison for the confinement
therein of female prisoners. am opposed
to further expenditure in this direction at
at the state prison.
''The establishments of a rsformatory for
women in this state is urgently demanded
by the best thought of the time, and its ex-
pense need not exceed the appropriation
herein suggested !"
The bills changing the time Of the expir-
alton Of the Office of Surrogates ssheriffs and
County Clerks, the Governor vetoed be-
cause these officers haye fixed term under
the constitution, and By these bills these
terms would be extended. This legislation
is Questionable on principle, and can only
lead TO litigation and contests, the Governor
says.
