After returning home from visit
to Cairo, Editor Tnos l.. Joy. Of the
Centralia Sentinel, in his paper Of
May 18th, wrote: "Cairo Is now
booming as she never doomed before,
and is ahead Of all the rest Of us in
rapidity Of growth. She has shipping
advantages unsurpassed by any city.
and yet has fewer manufacturing N
dustries than many cities of half her
size. What Cairo needs is $1,000
worth of iudicious advertising Sha
nas organized a Business Mems Asso
citation, and they are now getting w
some neat folders advertising Calro's
many advantages"

Richmond, Va. Nov. 15.-Governor
Mann today declined to interfere in
the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
and the young wife-murderer's last
hope Of escaping the electric chair on

Attorneys for the condemned man

announced his determination not to

tanned by the Supreme court of Ap-
peals. A petition had been presented
to the Governor praying for q respite
of at least thirty days for spiritual
preparation.

verdict of guilty, figured in the effort
to save the prisoner today. Although
this affidavit sworn to before Walter
c. Balerston, notary public of Wash
ington, d. c., ON October "a, was
shown to Gov Mann, it was not filed
with him and apparently had little eff
feet on the future course of the execu-
tive.
In this affidavit, which Paul Beat
tie repudiates, he is alleged to have
said that Henry Beattie made no con-
fession to him subsequent to the MUIR
der. When newspaper reference was
made on Saturday last to the exist
ence of an alleged affidavit, Paul
Beattie went to the police headquart-
ers and made sworn affidavit that he
signed no paper while in Washing
| ton.
The fact that Gov. Mann did not
ask that these papers be left with him
was accepted as meaning that he had
already made up his mind.
