APPEAL TO GOVERNOR.

Jackson, Miss, July IAN appeal
has been made to Governor Brewer
in behalf of S. L. Johnson, the house
boat murderer, whose death sentence
was affirmed by the supreme court
a few days since and the date of ex.
ecution fixed for August at Port
Gibson.
Johnson killed his travelling COM
panion Elston Brewer, on Missis-
sippi river houseboat at Vicksburg.
The two men were engaged in a
drunken row prior to the tragedy.
There were two trials of the case,
the first death sentence being revers'
ed because the lower court had ad
mitted incompetent testimony.
Johnsons second trial took place
at Port Gibson, the case having beer
carried to Claiborne county on g
change of venue. The Rev. T. B. Hol
loman, well-known member of the
Methodist clergy, has started the pc
tition asking Gov Brewer to commute
the death sentence.

DAINTY FOOD
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink.

Our best physicians of the present |
day seek to cure patients by the use of
food and right living, rather than
heavy drugs, and this is the true meth
cd, for only from food can the body be
rebuilt.
Many people, after living on poorly
selected or badly cooked food for a
long time, and when their ailments be-
come chronic. expect the doctor, with
some magic potency, to instantly re-
build them.
This is not possible. The only true
method is to turn as quickly as can be,
from poor food to good, A young lady
in Ohio says:

nerves, stomach, lun.s, ETC., but none
of the treatments gave me relief.

lants, but they were of no effect.

Several indictments are expect

ed.
The explanation given SO far is that
the book was found in the law office
of J. d. SCARBOROUGH. of Laurel, who
was killed on the streets of that city
last year. His books and papers were
being looked over and this important
book found and carried to Taylors-
vile. The book is badly mutilated,
more than half of the leaves being
taken out, which leaves it practically
worthless to the county.
The record contains many important
features relative to bond issues of the
county and a search so far fails to
show this part of the record intact.
More than 400 pages in the beginning
of the book are gone while others fur
Their on have been cut out. 1t was this
book that blocked the auditing of the
county records last year as no account
could be had of the several very i'm.
portant records and acts of the coun
tvs finances and orders of the board
of supervisors.

Since Last August, It Is Thought
Ex-Ray Picture Solves
Mystery.

Little Carl Andrew, 2 year and 8
month old son of Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Pierson OF this city, is playing
around at home with screw an inch
long tucked away in one Of his lungs.
He will be operated Oh within the next
few days and the piece of hardware
will be removed.
Carl Andrew swallowed the screw
about the middle of August last year,
his parents believe, and has been car
rying it around ever since.
About week ago he caught cold
and the doctors examined him and
we're led to believe that the child
was suffering from consumption. An
X-ray was brought into use and the
photo revealed the screw in the child's
lung.
Apparatus has been sent for and as
soon as it arrives the operation will
be performed and the child will not
be burneded with, the screw or any
longer.
