Polocksville,, N. C, Sept. 14. Hon. F. Q. Simmons, father of United States Senator F. M. Sim mons and owner and proprietor of a large landed ewtate five milee from this place, was murdered in a dense wooded game preserve on his place Saturday morning. The crime is one of the most dastardly and brutal In the history of Jones county. The scene of the murder Is about a half mils from the Simmons homestead, in a thick wood extendi!? down to the south bank of Trent river. The body was found Sunday morning about eight o'clock lying face down ward and partially on the riicht aide. The It ft hand was clasped to his breast and his forehead was resting on his right arm. A load of No. 4 shot had entered his left breast. A negro named Alfred Dauiels, alias Moses Hardin, has been arret ed and la in Jail at Trenton awaiting the finding ol the coroner's ury, which la in session this afternoon at the Simmons borne. The officers are alter another negro, Dump King, who la suspected of complicity in the murder or attempt to conceal the body. It is thought here that King will be captured in a few hours. Mr. F. O. Simmons was 77 years old last March. 8ince the death of his wife, nearly three years ago, he has lived practically alone on his flue old country estate, having with hliu only a hired housekeeper. Uv ' log on the plantation-are -ottmber of tenants and farm hands, Mr. Sim mons was proud of his game reser vation, which is said to be one of the finest in this section of the State. He kept his land posted and all oyer the place he had signs put np giving notice to that effect. There was one . of these signs painted on a large board within a few rods of where the fatal scene was enacted, j Friday morning shooting was heard la the same body of woods and Mr. Simmons went out to Inves tigate it He saw the party hurry ing away as he approached, but he could not get near enough to tell who it was. On Saturday morning there was more shooting, and Mr. Simmons again went to investigate. Some of - the tenants beard a gun shot and later heard a voice calling, but paid slight attention to It. They were not sure that it was a cry of distress. Mr. Simmons had intend ed to come to Pollocksvllie and sell some cotton that day, and when he did not return home to dinner it was not at once considered cause for much alarm. Later in the after noon, however, a searching party made a tour of the woods he had en tered that morning. No trace of him was found, and it was surmised he bad possibly boarded the Trent river boat for Newbern, About forty men Instituted an- other search Sunday morning, and starting near the Quaker ; bridge. formed a line and started down the . river. About eight o'elock the body was found not more than a hundred , yards irom tne river jymg near a ' dartree in the position already de scribed. ' An examination showed that 18 '. No. 4'ahot hud stiuck him; most of them centering about the left breast. - Mr. Simmon gun vim found lying about twenty-flve fret from his body and (here was evidence that he had cau h-d mofttof tb is dmtance. Some of ttnw in the searching party think he lived several hours after being , ehot. The , leaves on the ground ware disturbs! in a way indicating that he had moved to keep in the : ehmlo of a tree as the sun rose high er. Nothing la known or what pass ed between Mr... Simmons; and the trespasser upon his game forestsThe single shot was all that was heard The stories sent out that he was shot Crce times and afterwards clubbed Cn the head are untrue. , Tm& was a smouMcricg volcano Ct wrath In tha larp crowd standing Cml the Siinnaor.9 homrctcal lu dny, At!'.f'r?n"'l"8 inf- tf' ( i ' i I .. , r . i ' sf-JucJ, t'-.o I''' f fcrcw 6'.r in the minds of the bynstandert as to the guilt of the man In custody, and not a few such subdued exclamation as "a rope and a limb la in order next" were heard. And there were remarks of this kind from men who had every appearance of possessing the nerve to lead in such an under taking. There were also men there who discouraged hasty action and urged their neighbors to let the law take its course. ; Standing in the shadow of the old homestead, the house where he was born Just fifty years ago, struggling beneath the weight of the cruel burden so suddenly laid upon him and in sight of a newly-made grave, Senator Simmons to-day proved himself every inch a iaw-ahidinar man. With the fullest sense of the cruel outrage In his mind and with tears in his eyes, he saw the subdued storm of indignant wrath brewing among his dead Cither's devoted neighbors and went out among them taking them by the hand and calling them by familiar names, plead with them not to allow any violence done to the prisoner. At his personal so licitation the chairman of tha board of county commissioners Issued an order to the sheriff to remove the prisoner to Craven county jail for safe keeping and protection. The remains of the deceased were interred in the family burying ground near the houae,this afternoon 2 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted in the home by Rev. W. II. Rich, pastor of the First Bap tist church of New Bern. A large eoncourse of friends were present from all parts of Jones and adjoining counties to pay the last tribute of re spect to a departed friend. Mrs. F. M. Simmons, Mr. and Mrs.! A.Mahler and Miss EllzaSim- mons, of Raleigh, went to attend the funeral, and the ladles will remain a few days before returning to Raleigh. Mr. Mahler returned home to-day. New Bern, N. C, Sept. 14. The cototwN Jury inthe .case of HQ. Simmons who was murdered on Sat urday in Jones county, reached a verdict at 8:80 o'clock to-night The verdict was that Mr. Simmons came to his death from wounds inflicted by parties unknown. Circumstan tial evidence points to Alfred Dan- els, a negro, who is now confined in tail. LIST OF LETTERS Remaining In Postoffice, Golds- boro, Wayne County, N. C, Srpt. 12, 1003. MEN'S LIST.

Boston Transcript, The telegraphic announcement the present week that well known New England woolen mills are about to extend theuse ef mercerised cotton in their manufactures will cause no sur prise to those who have followed the trend of affairs In wool and worsted manufacture of late years. The use of combed and carded, cotton yarns that have been treated with caustic soda, which is the basic principle In mercerizing, or lustering,to take the place of the silk stripes In fancy goods as well as a substitute for worsted in making the entire fabric, has grown apace the past two years, and is evidently meeting a want that has been nnsupplied heretofore. Mention was made in these columns some years ago of a consignment of Clay worsteds that. were sent here by the Bradford manufacturers In whlchj there was no particle of wool, warp and filling alike consisting of long staple cotton, so manipulated in the weaving and finishing as (o deceive even the expert buyers. Large numbers of lightweight evercoats were said to have been made from the material, and found a ready sale In this and other markets. The domestic manufacturers are do ing now what the English makers did then, -but are extending their field Into the lighter weight goods for men'B wear. The coming fall and winter will witness a larger out put than ever of these cotton fabric designs for the slothing trade. DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH I ..... Cure Catarrh By Nature's Own Method Every Breath of, Hyomei Brings Relief. Nearly every ene whohaa catarrh knows how foolish it Is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Temporary relief may be given, but a cure seldom comes. Until recently your phyiiclao would have said the only way to cure catarrh would be to have' a change of climate; but now with Hyomei you can carry a health giving climate in your vest pocket and by breath- ng it a few minutes foar times a day soon cure yourself. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pock et, a medicine dropper and a bottle of liyom c I. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be ob tained for 50 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her method of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. ; J. H. Hill A Son have sold a great many Hyomei outfits and the more they sell, the more convinced they are that they are perfectly safe in guaranteeing to refund the money If Hyomei does not cure.
