" , - Another Effort to be Made to Indnoe Governor Glenn to Coram uto tbe Sentence of Freeman Jones. 8peclal to The Observer. Durham, Dec. f 1 One ether ap peal Is to be made to Governor Glenn to save the life of i Freeman Jones, who la now under sentence of death and Is to' die to-day week unless something Is don to save him. These appeals are not Intended to monop olise the time of the Chief Execu tive or to worry him, but kaere sre moss who feel that It will be, an in justice to take the life of Jones for this crime and his attornsys are anx ious that the Governor should set all the facts. This case Is unusual In that the Ju rois, before tfney left the Jury room with the verdict, decided to appeal to the Governor to save the life of the negro. Under the evidence and ths charge ' of the court they say that there was nothing to be-done but to return a verdict of guilty of burg lary. All this was discussed. The Ju rors then asked the court what ef fect a recommendation for mercy would have and the court said nons so far as ths oourt waa concerned, but It would be a faot to go to the Governor If an appeal for executive clemency waa made. Then it was agreed to return ths verdict and to ask for this clemency. Yesterday one of the Jurors, who was on of the leading men on that Jury mad an affidavit that It was generally sup posed by the Juror that a recom mendation of this kind would hav the effect to get a change In the sen tence. He says further that If this bad not been the general supposition of those trying fine case that, not withstanding the fact and law they would have been against such a course, that tlhere were those on the Jury who would never- have agreed to tbe verdict that mean death. These facts and others are to be laid before the Governor to-morrow and a final sand last effort will be made in-behalf of the negro man. This Is the nearest that Durham county has ever come to a hanging. It naturally arouses a grsat deal of Interest - There are these who say the negro man who lays his hand in violence upon a" white woman should die.' There are a great many who do not believe that this negro should die, believing that he went to tine . home where the nusband of the woman-had been engaged In the. business of sell Ins; whhkey Illegally for the purpose of getting whiskey. He was evidently drunk at the time. Freeman - Jones Is not a vicious looking negro, Hs has never been In crim here so far ss f can learn.- He Is tneea and sub' missive and contends now ttrjat-lf .he did the crime charged that he has no recollartion of It : On t&ese grounds ml oThsrs ' the nnai appeal will do mads Send Nro.

E. NATURAL DETECTIVE FORCE. Why Man'wbo Commits Crime In Alaska Cannot Escape. Washington Post We have a better detective force In the cold country than there Is in the States," remarked Governor II. P. Hoggart, of Alaska, ' "That detective force Is nature. When a man oommlts a crime in ths State - be has - many places to hide, and he often manages to evade the authorities forever. If one of our peo- fle who does something wrong be leves the climate of some other coun try will better suit his health and he make for that country he undertakes the Impossible. All we have to do Is to sit and wait There Is only one way out of Alaska, and that Is by coming to ths coast, and when the criminal comes to ths coast hs Is sure to be caught "So well has the United States Sig nal Corps done Its work In Alaska that we have a telegraph line to every mining camp of Importance, and when a man takes leg ball all thsr Is to 'do Is to telegraph to the coast towns, and the authorities wait for the man. It would be Impossible for tbe poor fellow to try. to get away by any other route than the ooast because be would never live to relate his experience. , . "On the other side- of the -coast range - of mountains are vast plains, stretching for many hundreds ef miles, wholly uninhabited. On. account of the haste with which criminals gener ally leave there 1 no time in which to provide an adequate outfit-If such a thing were possibl. "But it la seldom that It la neces sary to make use of this natural de tective force to track wrongdoer.

The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave ui our daily dose of sulphur and mo lutmes every spring snd fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier." tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fasnloned retnedv was not without' merit The Idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the benefi cial effect Of sulpinur In a palatable conoftitrated form, so thut a single grass is far more effective then a ta ble spoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and ex periment have proven that tne best sulphur for medicinal use Is that ob tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul phide) and sold In drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wa fers. They are small chocolate coat ed pellets and contain tne active med icinal principle of sulphur In a high ly concsntrated. effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur In restoring snd maintaining - bodily vigor and healtn; sulphur acts directly am he liver and excretory organs and puri fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste mate rial. ' , Our grandmothers knew this when thsy dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and fall, but ths crsdlty and Impurity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse then On disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated prep arations of sulphur, of which Stu srt's Calcium Wsfers Is undoubtedly the best and most wldoly used. They are the natural antidote for the liver and kidney troubles and cur constipation and prlfy the blood In a way that often surprise patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wllklns. white experi menting wllift sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any othsr. form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troublrspeclally when resulting from constipation or malaria, I hav been surprised at the reeult obtain ed from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from bolls and pim ples and sven deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen, them dry up and . disappear ln four of" five days, leaving -ths akin dear and smooth. Althousvt Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is a proprietary article and sold by druggist and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so ssfe and dellable for con stipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially la all form of skin disease as this remedy. ., , , . At any .rat people who are tired of pills, cathsrtlc and so-called bloo "purifiers" will And In Stuart's Cal cium Wafers a far aafsr, more pal atable and effective preparation, i Rend your, name and address 'to day for a frsd trial package and see for yourself. r F.
