was hanged committed on

had warrants
for the arrest of certain
them Sylvester Barrett
and Jerry Cobb, who had
general disturbance and as-
parties on the highway.
The constable summoned par-
ties to assist in making the
rests, and they went out to look
for them. Lovitt was standing
on the back of a in which
were his father and Dr. C. C.
Joyner, when they met two

demanded the to
halt, as he had warrants for
them, and as he stepped off the
buggy one of them shot him.
The officer lived but a short while
after being shot- The

the night.
Judge B. F. Long was holding

true bill for murder against
Barrett aid Jerry Cobb,

set for Thursday, Jan 25th. The
trial came to an end Friday
when the jury returned a
of murder in first degree
against Barrett, it being proven
that he fired the shot that killed
the officer, and a verdict of
in second degree against
Cobb.
Barrett was sentenced to be
hanged on the 16th of February,
and Cobb was sentenced to the
penitentiary for years.
Both appealed to Supreme
court, hut later the appeal for
Jerry Cobb was withdrawn and
he is serving his sentence-
Barret's appeal was heard
by the Supreme court at the rail
term when the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed. Gov-
Glenn then set Nov. 15th
as the day of execution, but at
the request of parties who were
trying to get a commutation of

The prisoners in jail,
including Barrett, were given
their breakfast at the usu hour
this morning, about by
Deputy Sheriff S. Dudley.
Barrett ate heartily and seemed
to re his breakfast. As soon
as this was over Sheriff Tucker
entered the cell of the con-
man and read the death
warrant to him. Barrett dis-
played no emotion whatever
after the reading.
The Reflector reporter inter-
viewed Barrett to ascertain if he
wished to make any statement,
but he replied there was nothing
he could say. He conversed
calmly, and while realizing that
death was only a few hours from
it had no perceptible effect
on him. He knew it was coming
and expressed a readiness to
meet it. Barrett said the officers
had been very kind to him, and
they said Barrett had been a
good prisoner, never giving them
the slightest trouble. The only-
request he made this morning
was for a drink of liquor and the
sheriff got it for him-

old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing

The Way to Rest.
To understand how to rest is
of more importance than to
how to work- The latter
can be learned easily; the
it takes years to learn, and some
people never learn the art of
resting. It is simply a change
of I cones and activities Loaf-
may not be resting. Sleep-
is not always resting. g
down for days with nothing to
do is not restful- A change is
needed lo bring into a different
set of faculties and lo turn the
life into a channel. The
man who works hard finds his
best rest in playing hard. The
man burdened with care finds
relief in something that is ac-
yet responsibility.

preaching at every service. This
opportunity was given in the
