Williams Was Murderer of Sena
torjHopp. Secured Iron Bar and
Held Officers at Bay until a
Dash of Ammonia Overcame
Him.
Birmingham, Ala., July 27. Last
night when Sheriff Orean of Culman
county, accompanied by several dep
uties,entered the jail here to secure
John Williams, the aged murderer of
Senator Hoop, who was to have been
hanged at Culman today, Williams
seized a section of the iron pipe which
the prisoner, had torn loose from a
sewer connection in the cell and threat
ened to kill the first man who attempt
ed to enter.
Williams said he rftilized that the
removal from the Inrmingham jail
meant his death and as he had to die
anyway he might as well die on the
spot as elsewhere. Not one of the offi
cers dared to enter the cell.
Finally, a quantity of amonla was
secured and dashed on the prisoner
through the bars. The fumes of the
dr'ig overcame him and the officers
were able to handcuff him.
However, his resistance caused such
a delay that the officers missed the
night traia on which they expected to
take Williams to Culman. This gava
th» condemned man's counsel an op
portunity to secure a writ of habeas
corpus and an order for inquiry into
Williams' sanity.
Troops slept on arms all night, hav
ing been ordered by the Governor to
accompany the sheriff anu the prison
er to Culman to preserve order.

tee:
Salisbury, N. C., July 27, 1906
Hon. C. H. Cowles,
Wilkesboro, N. C. -
Dear Sir: —On the 7th instant Hon.
R. N. Hackett, Democratic candidate

JUDGE PARKER ON CAMPAIGN
Discusses Political Situation in New
York State—Talks of Mr. Hearst and
His Prospects.
Utica, N. Y., July.—Former Judge
Alton B. Parker, in an interview, dis
cussed the coming state election. He
declared the Democratic party was
rich in men who could fill the office of
governor and mentioned a number but
omitted Mr. Hearst. When asked for
the reason of the omission, Mr. Parker
said that Mr. Hearst had declared he
intended accepting the nomination of
the Independence League and that if
nominated by that party it would be
on a platform expressing the prin
ciples Mr. Hearst believes in and that
there would be no deal or bargain
with the leaders of any political ma
chine.
Mr. Parker was reminded of the cur
rent belief that representatives of the
Independence League had been openly
- striving for the control of the Demo
cratic caucuses in order to secure del
egates to the Democratic convention
favorable to Mr. Hearst and that some
such delegates had been elected; and
that the League was organized to com
pel the Democratic party to accept Mr.
Hearst as its nominee.
Mr. Hearst is too shrewd a man"
said Mr. Parker, "to believe it possible
that the Democratic convention will
ever be made up of delegates so ab
solutely pussilanimous as to surrender
to one demanding that the party
deliver up to him the honor and power
he covets, or suffer defeat"

MRS. VIOLA MARSHALL.
MRS. MARSHALL
SUFFERED WITH
SYSTEMIC CATARRH.
PE-RUMA SAVED HER.
Mrs. Viola Marshall, 1117 East Jack
eon street, Springfield, 111., writes:
"Two months ago when I sought
your advice, and you told me that /
was suffering from systemic catarrh,
I had gotten so bad that I could not
bear the jolt of walking and had to lie
down most of the time.
•' 1 began taking your Peruna and now
I feel like a new woman.
"I can w.slk just as far as I please
without feeling any fatigue and I have
taken only three bottles of Peruna.
"I shall never cease praising Peruna,
nor thanking Dr. Hartman for his kind
advice."
Systemic catarrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always un
derstood, and therefore not correctly
treated.
Whatis needed is an internal catarrh
remedy which exerts a healing effect
on the mucous membranes of the entire
body.
Such a remedy is Peruna. The sin
cere letters of those who have expe
rienced its benefits in such cases are
evidence of its medicinal value.
" CONVICT PATIENT _ IST~CAUGHT\
Did Neal Martin Rob Store Same
Night He Fled From Hospital.
Neal Martin, the convict-patient,
who escaped from the Good Samaritan
Hospital about 1 o'clock Thursday
morning, has been caught, and is being
tried this afternoon before 'Squire S.
H. Hilton, on a charge of robbing Mr.
Neely Dunn's store in Steele Creek the
same night.
It would have been necessary for
the patient to have traveled mighty
fast to have reached the store before
day, as it is six or seven miles out in
the country and this is what the court
was struggling with this afternoon.
The negro wag found with a large
quantity of sardines and other edibles
and a quantity of tobacco and towels,
also some lead pencils and other ar
ticles.
He was arrested by Tom Hall early
Sunday morning, and brought in for a
hearing this afternoon. If a case Is
made out against the negro it will
no doubt go hard with him as he is
serving a term on the county roads
now, or should have been had he not
so unexpectedly left the hospital
Thursday morning at 1 o'clock.

MOCKSVILLE PICNIC.
A Big Crowd at the Baptist Orphan
age Picnic at Mocksville Yesterday.
Yesterday was a good day at Mocks
ville. lit was the 17th annual Sunday,
school pinnic of the Baptists of Da- (
vie county, in behalf of the Thomas-!
ville Orphange.
They have a large board arbor, which i
will hold two thousand people and it'
was estimated there were fully that j
many people on the ground. Rev. C.'
S. Cashwell, who is now the pastor of
the Mocksville Baptist church was the
toriginator of this picnic, and he has
made it a great success. |
Gov. Glenn had promised to be pres
ent, but official duties prevented his
attendance. H& sent as a substitute,
Mr. S. H. Eller, Esq., of Winston-Sa
lem. President M. L.» Kesler with a
chapter of orphans was present which
added greatly to the pleasure and en
joyment of the occasion
Mr. J. H. Tucker, Esq., of Asheville,
Rev. J. M. Dunnawy, of Spencer and
Rev C. A. Jenkins, of Statesville, were
also on the program, but failed to
attend.
Speeches were made by Rev. M. L.
Kesler, Mr. S. H. Eller and Rev. R E.
Neighbor, of Salisbury.
President Kesler spoke on "What
the Orphanage Stood For," emphasiz
ing the importance and worth of a
child and that the orphanage was to
save them from wreck and ruin and to
develop in them good and worthy char
acters and to implant in their hearts
aspiration for things noble and good.
He outlined the work at Thomasville
and some of the improvements in pros
pect.
He was followed by Mr. S. H. Eller,
who for about three fourths of an hour
made a most excellent address. Mr.
Eller appologized for Gov Glenn's ab
sence and his inability to take his
place.
He congratulated our State and peo*
pie for the work we are doing for
the orphans in bounds, quoting from
the official record that there were
"eleven hundred orphan children be
ing cared for in the various orphan
ages in the State; 1018 of which were
white and the rest colored." He com
plimented the Thomasville Orphanage
as leading in this work with 313 chil
dren. Mr. Eller dwelt upon Universal
Liberty, Universal Education and Uni
versal Opportunity, as being the one
thought of the American people, and
emphasized the power of prejudice
which had its foundation in ignorance
and the power of Education, and ex
pressed himself as favoring* compulso
ry education when it could not be
had otherwise, I
iug the rights of individuals as fixing
He incidentally hit at trusts as us
urping the rights of individuals as fix
ing wages and thus destroying individ
ual and personal liberty. Also he
touched upon the rights of women and
the new divorce law which he had
championed through the Legislature.
In order to reach the noon train his
address was curtailed to the regret of
the vast audience present.
The afternoon was taken up by an
address from Rev. R. E Neighbor, of
Salisbury, on "Soul Winning," and in
consideration of a proposition to a
proposition 'to transfer this great ar
bor to Thomasville for its annual meet
ings.
Mr. Neighbor caught the audience
at the start and for about forty min
cmfwyp mw fpymfwyp fwy wyp yp p
utes held them as "spell bound" by
his intense enthusiasm and pertinent
and striking illustrations of his sub
ject. Those who have heard George
Stewart can get some conception of
Mr.Neighbors style and manner of ad
dress. To the mind of the writer he
is the livest wire on religion he has
run up with. He took for his text
Prov. 11:30 and emphasized Heart,
Life, Intellectual and Will preparation.
Mr. Neighbor is simply a cyclone In
speech and he makes his hearers cry
and laugh at will without at all seem
ing to try to provoke either.
Altogether the day was most delight
ful and from the collection and refresh
ment stand a handsome sum was real
ized. The Baptists support the or
phanage at Thomasville by regular col
lections for the churches and Sunday
schools. The exercises at night con
sisted of an entertainment by the or
phans and a general lawn party. The
possibility is that the great arbor will
be transferred to Thomasville.

Geneva, July 30. —A girl of thirteen
—lsabelle Laugel—has proved her
elf an intrepid and skilful moun
uineer by climbing the Aiguille de
a M., nearly 12,000 feet high.
This peak, one of the most diffi

r: nge, has very seldom been ascend
ed since the death of Mummery, the
English climber, who first reached
its summit.
Isaoene Laugel, who is a French
girl, made the ascent without any
assistance from her guide. Her feat
must be reckoned better by far than
that of the Zermatt girl, of seven
teen, who made the first ascent of
the Matterhorn this season, which
