NEGRO KILLS SELF

Assaiiant of Constable Simmons o Barbour County Cuts Throat With Razor When He
 is Captured.

Eufaula, June 22.--(Special )--Edxar Jordan, the negro wanted for wife murder, who shot Constable Simmons near Clio last Thursday evening. has committed suicide by cutting his throat with razor.
 The negro was closely pursued by Sherin W. M. Teal and others of the county and sought refuge in a cabin on the plantation of James Steyens three miles from Louisville. The house was surrounded. when Sheriff Teal advanced with his pistol present- ed. ordering him to throw up his hands.
 The negro promised to do so if Mir. Teal would not shoot. He then asked the Sheriff what he would do with hirn and if 1t would so hard with him. The Sherin responded that he knew noth- tng of the seriousness of the Georgia crime, but the matter of shooting Con- stable Simmons was not so bad.
 The Sheriff was further interroRated as to what he thought would be done with him and reference was made to Constable J. 3. TeaPs bravery who pursued him Thursday. but who failed to hit him.
 The negro then suddenly sank back in the room and drawing razor from his pocket cut his throat from ear to ear, completely severlng the juguinr vein and died almost instantly.
 An examination of the body disclosed that the negro was untouched by eith- CT of the constable's shots in the melee of Thursday, although they came fn such close contact that Constable TeaIs mustache was burned by the powder.

 Republicans here do not know Con- gressman Sherman. News of hts nona~ ination for the second place on the ticket was followed invariably by the query. "why, who's Sherman" The nominations did not arouse any en- thusiasm here and small crowds who stood about the newspaper bulletin boards accepted the result with ahso- iutely no demonstration.

 And now there comes forward an- other element to raise its protest against Secretary Taft. Labor is dis satisfied. The negroes are dissatisfied. The nomination of sherman with his slush fund record. his connection with the Hartman contributions of 1904, his presidency of trust, is declared by Western State delegates to mean hard fought battle, throwing in doubt the rock ribbed Republican States of the West.
 The feeling in Iowa Is most bitter.

The President, In ter this condition through the nomina- tion of Mir. Deliver for the vice-Pres- idency. The Senator declined point blank. Then the place was offered to Governor Cummins, and his friends en- tered an indignant protest.

The resultant nomination of Representative sherman is the worst that could be made. say the Iowa men.
 The delegates from Wisconsin, Min nesota, the Dakotas. Kansas and Ne- braska say the same thing.

sponse to her prayer. She moved amongst he guests forgetful of herself; of her strange attire. The strangers wondered at first, till they came to un- derstand that she was the Lady Boun- tiful who had stretched her helpful hands to them. The whole castle was lit from cellar to tower and humming like a hive.
 In the general disposition of rooms stephen ordered to be set apart for the rescued swimmer the Royal Cham Der where Queen Elizabeth had lain. She had a sort of idea that the stran- ger was Gods guest who was coming to her house; and that nothing could be too good for him. Some great weight seemed to have been removed from her Her soul was free again.
 At last the rocket-cart arrived. com ing with mighty stress of cracking whips and clash and chatter of shifting wheels. of jingling chains. and shouting voices, and a vast following of men. women and children.
 The rescued man was still senseiess. but that alone did not seem to cause much anxiety to the doctor, who hur- ried him at once into the prepared | room. When, assisted by some of the other men, he had undressed him, rubbed him down and put him to bed | and had seen some of the others who had been rescued from the wreck. he sought out Lady de Lannoy. He told her that his anxiety was for the mans sight; an announcement which blanch- ed his hearers checks. She had so made up her mind as to his perfect safety that the knowledge of any kind of Ill which had come upon him came like 6 cruel shock. She questioned Mir. Hil- ton closely: that he thought it well to tell her at once all that he surmised and feared.
 That fine young fellow who swam out with his horse to him, tells me that when he neared him he cried out that he was blind. I have made some inquiries from those on the ship. and they tell me that he was passenger name Robinson. But not only was he
 not blind then, but that he was the strongest and most alert man on the ship. If 1t be blindness 1t must have come on during that long swim. It
 may be that before leaving the ship he
 received some special injury--indesd

The party press insisted and reiterated that the Secretary of War could not carry In- diana. It pointed out in scareiines and sober editorials that the negroes would never stand for the Secretary of War. that organized labor would not accept him, that Roosevelt Republicans did not like him because he was an un- dsrstudy of the President and that anti Roosevelt Republicans would have none of him because his strongest points were those copied from his chief; that he was neither . conservative nor a radicai--in brief. that he would not do and that his nomination should be prevented at any cost

 If you win be so goodr' she an- xwered. At that moment the crowd carrying the senseiess man began to appear over the cfif, coming up the zigzag. The doctor hurried towards him; she followed but at little dist ance, fearing lest she should hamper him. Under his orders they laid the patient on the weather side of the bon fire 50 that the smoke would not reach him. The doctor knelt by his side. An instant after he looked up and said:

 As she was speaking she had taken the bridfe of her horse. One of the young men stopped and held his hand; she bowed, put her foot in 1t and sprang to the saddle. Tn an instant she was flying across country at full speed, In the dark. A wild mood was on her, the reaction from the prolonged ag. ony of apprehension. The gale whis- tied round her and now and again she shouted with pure joy. It seemed as if God Himself had answered her pray CT and given her the returning lifei The fervor of her joy was so all-eui- braeing, that she felt as if some at least of the bitter past had been wiped out.
 By the time she had reached the cas-. tie the wild ride had done Its soothing work. She was calm again, compara- lively; and her wits and feelings were her own.
 There was plenty to keep her oceu- pied, mind and body. thence on. The train of persons saved from the wreck were arriving, and clothes had to be found for them as well as food and shelter. She felt as though the world were not wide enough for the welcome which she wiahed to extend. Its ex- ercise was sort of reward of her ex- ertions; a thank offering for the re-
