for the murder of Will McKissack
Alex Connor was arrested on
Thursday between five and six
o'clock and Hays was placed un-
der arrest Friday morning about
three o'clock by Sheriff Trapp,
assisted by Will Robins, pointed
unmistakably to these parties as
being connected with the affair.
When arrested, Alex Connor
made four different statements
as to the killing and implicated
Lavelle Hayes. On the assemb-
ling of the grand jury Friday
morning an indictment was re-
turned against both negroes and
and they were arraigned upon
the charge, each entering a plea
of not guilty. Not having means
to employ counsel, Judge Sykes
appointed G. P. Long and Guy
W. Mitchell to defend them.
A severance was granted and
Alex Connor was placed on trial
A jury which was COM
posed of the following was soon
empanelled: L. S.. Livingston,
M. 0. Clark, Jim Nicholson, G.
G. Bruton, P E. Mccarthy, E.
A. Edge, Bob Westmoreland, J.
w. Hill, Ivy Barnett, Bud Dabbs,
Will Raspberry, Will Hunter. D.
w. Robins was placed on the
stand and related the story told
him, Sheriff Trapp, j. M. Witt,
and R. F. Robertson by Alex
Connor. He stated that he, Alex
Connor, and Lavelle Hayes went
out ahead of McKissack and
waited for him at the we'll on
the Tupelo and Fulton road; that
when McKissack came and
turned down to the we'll, that
he stood in the road and Lavelle
followed him and as McKissack
stopped to get drink of water,
Lavelle struck him with a rock
that he had picked up while
crossing the levee. McKissack
then asked why he was struck
and was told that his money was
wanted. Lavelle then went
through his pockets and secured
the money. Alex assisted Mckis-
sack on his horse and he went
east while the two negroes re-
turned to town, each going to
their homes. The next morning
Alex stated that they met in the
alley back of Charlie Slack's bar
ber shop where they divided the
money. Counsel for the defend
ants presented the case in the
best light possible but tie District
Attorney tore to shreads the
claims of the defendant. The
jury retired and within a few
minutes verdict of guilty as
charged was brought in, there
upon the court sentenced the de-
fendant to be hanged on Oct. the

Sight ofEyo Destroyedby Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse e-In Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried CutiCura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and half old was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time sho was nothing but Q yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so We let him try it about a week. One morning VIC discovered a little yellow pimple on one Of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since 1t was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 1, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help 1t. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well. that proved the same, only ho charged SlO more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. 1 saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so went and purchased Q set of Cuticu-a Remedies, which cost me Sl, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve
 nent, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if ve had used Cuticura in time I am confident that lt would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co.,, N. r., August IF, l9O6."

JUNEAU JOINS IN PROTEST

Juneau" says the Record of that city, should join with Skagway and other towns in Alaska in demanding Of the goyerumen, better mail service. The people of auy state in the union would rise up in riot if they were treated as .udiTereutly as we are in this respect. Nothing will be done to remedy this criminal negligence unless we rss up and assert our riA hts. Ger tainly the government should be will iug Co do her part in the development oi a possession producing revenue for the mother country right from the very grass roots of her civilization. No other country iu the world has paid her own way as Alaska has.
 "But the effort made should be a united one aud the matter presented ID a manuer that will command the respect of congress. Probably the best way IS for the city council to take the matter up and cause a public meeting to be held that the reason for our indtGeaeuJ treatment may be de6ai,eIy determined. The question of better mail facilities iu Alaska is one of more importance than that of territOr- ial government, and it one half of the attention was given the mail question that has been given the home govern meDt question, tre Humboldt would DO, sail away from Seattle with four days mail lyIog in that office for Alas ks. The Skagway Alaskan is far greater paper than ever before for the simple reason that 1t is making grea, fight for better mail service for Alaska"

OF the various books which consti-
tute the Bible as we have it the time
and manner of their collection is I'M
certain and obscure The selection of
the canOnical books is mentioned as
early as 100 3. C. But earlier di-
visions Were made and at much later
dates the matter was still in dispute
The Old Testament it should be re-
membered has three currents of in
fluence-the traditional lore of the
priests, the teaching of the prophets
and the religious life of the more en-
lightened people. Each of these re-
suited as might be expected in in
creased difficulties when it came to
the point of cOdificatiOn Different
versions Of the Old Testament became
necessary at a very early date, chiefly
because the Jews in the west adopted
the Greek language while even in Pal
estine the old Hebrew was gradually
supplanted by the Aramaic tongue
Perhaps the most remarkable in its
history was the Alexandrian version
commonly known as the Septuagint
(meaning the seventy or the version
of the Xxx.
The chief seat of the Hellematic
Jews was in Egypt and here it was
that this miraculous version was COM
piled. PtOlmey Philadelphus. ruler of
Egypt during the second century A. D..
summoned, according to the story, sew
enty-two Palestinian scholars. These
he shut into seventy-twO different
cells, each with a scribe, to prepare
from the existing data a Bible in
Greek. When the task was finished.
according to the story. the translation
of each was found to be absolutely
identical with all the others in word
and letter Hence this compilation is
often referred to as the Miracle of the
Septuagint Another writer has it
that the scholars were put two in each
cell thus making thirty-six transla-
tons instead of seventy-twO.
Concerning the chronology of the
New Testament there is even today
much argument, and many theories
