So far as is known to the authori-

demonstration would be made by the

County Attorney Cook were in the
car. They took the frightened negro
by roundabout route to Sheriff Bau

Earl frankly confessed the murder
and laughed while he told the story Of
the revolving crime.
"He did my brother dirt while he
was sick there and besides he was
against Johnson in the Jeffries-John
son fight" That is the only excuse
Earl offered for taking the life of the
old war veteran.

T. r. FOR WILSON?
Colonel May Not Oppose Democrat II
Taft Is Nominated

New York, Aug. 26.-The outlook, of
which Theodore Roosevelt is contrib
uting editor, prints in it's current edi-
ton an eulogy of Gov. Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey.
Henry B. Needham, who when Col
Roosevelt was president, ranked as
one of the official press agents of the
administration, is the author of the
article.
New York politicians are wondering
if there is a political significance to
this fact.
Col. Roosevelt, since the defeat of
his candidate for governor at the last
election, Henry l.. Stimson, now a
member of President Taft's official
family, has refused to take any part in
republican politics in this state. The
man whom he most bitterly denounced
at Saratoga, William Barnes, jr., is
now chairman of the republican state
committee, and If Roosevelt wants to
go to the next national convention he
will personally have to ask them for
that honor.
