She was woman peculiarly endowed
with those beautiful traits OF char

Knox is survived by two daughters,
besides numerous other relatives who |
have the deepest sympathy OF the en-

CLIPPING FROM
ATLANTIC REVIEW
CAPTAIN HARRISON JOHNSTON or CO.
LUAHUS, HOL0S RECORD As OLDEST
SURF BATHER IN ATLANTIC CITY
TAKES DAILY SURF BATH

The following from the Allan
tic Review will be read with in
terest by many personal friends
of Mr.. Johnston here in his
home town:
TO take a daily ocean bath at
almost the age of one hundred
years is the custom of Harrison
Johnson, visitor from Mississip-
pi, who holds the record in point
of years among all the hundreds
of thousands of bathers who
have or are enjoying the surf.
And not only is his age remark
able, but every time he takes a
dip in the ocean he is accompa-
MED by his son, and his grand
son, and his great grand son. the
party representing four genera
tionS.
Mr.. Johnson's exact age is
95 years, and in spite of that
fact he takes dip daily in the
surf, and returns from the bath
in a perfect glow of health.
Accompanied by his son, c.
A. Johnson, his grand daughter.
Mrs. Eugene L. Brown, and his
great grand son, Master AtweIl
Johnson Brown. Mr.. Johnson
the elder is stopping at the Ho-
tel Raleigh, and early every
morning as regularly as clock
work goes to Jeffries' Imperial
baths, and from there takes his
daily dip.
Owing to the cool weather
earlier in the spring members
of his family advised Mr.. John
son to defer the bathing until
midsummer, but on June 18th he
determined the surf was warm
enough and he has not missed a
single day dip since then, and
seemed to enjoy today's sport
in the surf better than the dip
yesterday.
Il would not humor myself to
such a whim as not bathing until
July. 1t would make me ten
der" said Mr.. Johnson, when
of his family tried to
dissuade him from the vigour ex-
ercise of the surf. -

SMITH CASE
Up AGAIN
ATTORNEYS FILE SUGGESTION OF ERROR
WITH SUPREME COURT IN SMITH
LAURENT CASE
A VERY LENGTHY DOCUMENT

Jackson, Miss July 20. The
attorneys for Chas. r. Smith,
the slayer of E. A. Laurent, who
is under life sentence for mur-
der, and whose case was affirm
ed by a majority of the supreme
court on appeal, have filed their
suggestion of error, a document
consisting of some hundred and
sixty pages, which is now in the
hands of the members of the
court, each judge having been
provided with a copy. The gist
of the suggestion. as gathered
from a cursory reading of the
bill of exceptions, is as to the
courts rulings on the point of
delusionalin insanity and the law
bearing on that point, and the
further point raised as to reliev-
ing the prisoner legally from the
responsibility for his act.
The attorneys were hard at
work on the document for sew
eral days and only completed
their task late yesterday evening.
and the case is now out of their
hands on the final round.
Under the rules of the court
their honors can either decide
the matter at once or some time
during the present week or else
they may let it go over until the
next term in October. The i'm
preston prevails that it will be
decided this week, and if that is
done the next step will be to
transfer Smith from the
Lowndes county Jail to the peni-
tentiary-tha is provided the
court, or a majority thereof.
overrule the suggestion of error.
If sustained then it will mean a
respite for a year or so longer
for the wealthy defendant at the
bar.
