COXY ARMY FOR LONDONLetter Sent to King Edward Detailing the Wants of the Unemployed. London, June 17.?London is to have its Coxy army. It is to start from Leicester. Several attempts have been made to enroll the Coxeyites and start from Leicester, about five hundred men enrolling. This latest program is considered more dangerous. The following letter has been sent to the king: - "To His .Most Gracious Majesty, King Edward VII: j "May it please your majesty: We, your most faithful and loyal subjects of the ! Leicester unemployed workmen, beg to | acquaint your majesty of our great sufferings from want of employment. "We have suffered long and patiently, and as there is no immediate suggestion of our sufferings being lessened, we make bold to present our complaint in person to your majesty, knowing how deeply you have been interested in the housing question and other matters concerning the welfare of the poor. "Many of us are old soldiers, and took an active part in the late South African *war. "We are reduced to the extremes of misery and want. We are unable to fulfill one of the first duties of husbands and fathers, namely, to provide for our wives and children. "In our sorrow we turn to your majesty, as father of the people, and humbly ask you to receive us and use your kindly and powerful influence in our behalf. "I am, on behalf of the Leicester unemployed, your dutiful and humble subject. "George White."

As the detective seized him Brown reached for his big pistol and had it almost drawn when Fttzpatrick placed bis own revolver at Brown's bead. "All right partner," said Brown. "You've got the drop.

Morris of Karoos county, Tex? and who is also charged with the murder of Sheriff Dick. Glover of Gonzales county and Deputy Sheriff EL Schnabel, also of that county, says the St Louis Post-Dtepatch. With only a few days Intervening before his removal from the county Jail at Columbus, Tex^ to be placed behind the dark and forbidding wails of the state penitentiary at Busk, Oortez COBTEZ OOSTLSfUBD TO VUU wedded a pretty and young Mexican senorita. Tbe bride was Miss Bstefado Garza, tbe daughter of Joes and Moneta Garza, respected peopte of Manor, Tex. Tbe happy couple, through tbe good graces of Sheriff W. EL Bridge, spent their honeymoon in tbe upper tier of cells of tbe coooty >ab at Oofcsibus. Cortez is under sentence of life imprisonment for tbe murder of Sheriff Morris. Tbe sentence has been aOrmed by tbe court of criminal appeals, and as soon as tbe mandate is reoeived from that court by Sheriff Bridge tbe prisoner will be ton. from his bride and conveyed to tbe penitentiary. The separation will be forever, as there is small chance of tbe convicted man leaving tbe prison alive. Be is now about forty years oM, and tbe crime which be committed was so atrocious as to preclude any possibility of his ever being pardoned. Life prisoners are even denied tbe privilege of writing or receiving letters, and all visitors to them are debarred. He will be as completely abut out from all sight and beariDg of bis bride of a few days as if be were in bis grave. That fact is tbe great shadow over tbe honeymoon of die couple. They say they dread tbe separation, which both know must soon come, more than they would death Itself. Tbe marriage of the Gam gJM and Cortes was unexpected to her dually and friends. She bad mat Cortes few n*naa Wam tha torrfhk* rrtmss with MUIW WAV* V www ? ? which be Is charged were committed, but no one knew that she bad a feeling of love for him. She followed the case through Its many phases closely, and her unusual Interest in the prisoner attracted the attention of her acquaintances. She finally made known to the mother of Cortex that she lored the convicted man and would like to see him. A meeting was arranged, and the couple had a long conference in the jail. Cortex proposed marriage and was accepted. Miss Garza returned home and prepared for the wedding. A few days ago, accompanied by the mother of Cortex, she came to Columbus and told Sheriff Bridge that she wanted to marry the prisoner The sheriff assented, and the cert Ply was performed in the corridor of the jail by J.

Mansfield, county judge, In the presence of Sheriff Bridge, Mrs. Bridge and Conrad Byeg* _ / )f fir*t ? pretty if not pretti jgies I ever had on room. :rg. b* The Cortez case is cme of the most remarkable in the criminal annals of Texas. He lived in Karnes county and was looked upon as a peaceable and law&biding citizen. In the early part of 1901 a series of cattle thefts took place in that section, and Sheriff W. T. Monte started to round up the thieves. He found evidence that pointed to Qregorio Cortes and his brother, Bomaldo Cortes. They were in a room in a Mexican shack, and when they learned the object of the visit of the officer they opened fire on Mm Sheriff Morris returned the fire and fatally wounded Bomaldo Cortez. Gregorlo Cortes continued to fire, and one of his bullets struck the officer and killed him. The murderer fled. The news of the crime quickly spread over to adjoining counties and caused intense excitement The murdered officer was widely known and very popular. A posse soon got on the trail of Qregorio Cortes. He was pursued through the mesQuite brush into Qonsales county, where the trail was taken up by Sheriff Dick Glover of that county and a posse of deputies. They located the fugitive in a wagon bed near a Mexican shack and surrounded the spot for the purpose of effecting his capture. Suddenly Cortex opened fire upon thorn, and, Jumping from his place of concealment, he fought his way through the force of armed men and -?1? Tt? fKte floht Rhpriff aymi otui^CU. u - -???

Murray, the negro ex-Congressman, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant issued by Magistrate Harby, charging him with perjury. The warrant was issued as an outgrowth of the charge of forgery for which Murray was tried, convicted and sentenced to the chain gang more than a year ago. It is a matter of common notoriety; an appeal was taken to the 8upreme Court from the verdict of the Sessions Court, which appeal is still pending. When the warrant was served on Mur- ' ray Tuesday he immediately arranged to give bond for his appearance for trial at the next term of the Court of General Sessions and he was released.?Sumter Item. It begins to look as if Norway and Sweden are really going to have a scrap. The Norwegian army is massing on the border of 8weden, the Swedish navy is maneuvering and the government of Sweden has proclaimed the four ports of the nation under martial law and foreign warships are excluded from them. It is a very foolish disposition on the part of the two Scandinavian kingdoms. "Mark Twain whs visiting H. H. Rogers," said a New York editor, according . to The Pilgrim. "Mr. Rogers led the humorist to his library. 'There,' he said, as he pointed to a bust of white marble, 'what do you think of that?' It was a bust of a young woman coiling her hair, a very t graceful example of modern Italian sculpture. Mr. Clemens looked at it a moment and then he said: 'It isn't true to nature.' 'Why not?' Mr. Rogers asked. '8he ought to have her mouth full of hair pins.' said the humorist." / Dr. P. H. Mell went to Washington Monday at the invitation of the Southern 1 railway, to make arrangements for a special "Farmers' institute car." Dr. Mell's idea is to have a car especially fitted up with apparatus, exhibits, etc., which will be carried over the State, stopping at stations long enough to give special instructions and information to the farmers. Specialists from Clemson will go along to give this information. This will eertainly result in great good to the agricultural interests of South Carolina. It is to be hoped that Dr. Mell will succeed in making arrangements to " carry out the plan. H. M. GRAHAM,= ATTORNEY-AT-LAW BAMBERG, S. C.
