MURDERED BY A MoD.-The follow
ing particulars of the killing of Henry
,Waldrop by q mob near Griffin, Ga, on
last Thursday, are given by the Atlanta
Constitution:
About two years ago Henry Waldrop
married Miss Julia Heard and settled
down on his farm four miles from Griffin.
They invited the brides young sister
Ella, then about twelve years of age, to
live with them. The trio lived happily
together until last July was about ex-
piring. One cventful day-and one fatal
to the happiness of that married couple
it seems that Henry and Ella met in
the kitchen and held brief conference.
At this critical juncture, Henry's wife
entered the kitchen and forthwith pro-
ceeded to disperse the meeting. Henry,
of course, invoked the art of persuasion,
but his wife promptly scorned his appeals
for reconciliation, and so Henry left his
home and angered help-meet and came
to Atlanta. In day or two he was fol-
lowed by the blushing Ella, who Joined
him in his quarters near the cotton fac.
tory on Marietta street. he was carried
to Griffin and two indictments were
found against him and released on bond.
The following from Griffin gives. the
sequel to this affair. Under date of the
18th our correspondent writes: "Yester-
day Sheriff Bridges, accompanied by o
bailiff and another party, re.arrested
Waldrop on a possessory and q peace
warrant, and started to the city with him,
wien after night the Sheriff was met by
crowd of fifteen to twenty persons,
jerked from his buggy and disarmed.
The mob took Waldrop off short dis
tauce and shot him three times, killing
him instantly. The Sheriff set to work
to ferret out the perpetrators, and report
says one party has been arrested, but it
being some eight miles distant, have
not learned the truth of it. An inquest
will be held and the facts then devel-
oped. There is little sympathy for Wal
drop, whose conduct to his family and
the little girl is considered very out
rageous, but every effort will be made to
ind out the slayers, as our people are
greatly opposed to anything savoring OF
mob law"

The guest offered the blessings at the

interviewed him on the subject. "What

"Why, a blessing. Don't your tater ask

A FARMERS HOUSE IN CHINA

their Chinese traits of countenance, the

A number of Tangoats were stretched
upon the ground sleeping, having arrived
in the morning with number Of sheep
for the market town of Liang Chu, to the
west.
The buildings, in lieu of possessing an
inner and outer wall, consisted only of a
quadrangular courtyard. On the upper
side was the dwelling house, with large
open windows. On each side of the
doorway the women of the family sat
sewing and mending clothes. Mules and
ponies were engaged in the open space

The Census of the State.

The Supervisor of the Census in the
Second District of South Carolina has
furnished statement of the returns from
the counties composing his district,
which he does "not give as absolutely
correct, but which he believes to be near
iy so, and the most accurate statement
that can possibly be obtained until the
official count is made in Washington" !"
By this statement the total population of
the Second District, comprising the
Counties Of Aiken, Barnwell, Beaufort,
Charleston Colleton, Hampton, Lexing-
ton, Orangeburg and Richland, is 344,-
8S1, an increase of 107, SAT, or more than
forty-fve per cent. since the census of
1870.
The population of Charleston County
is 102,S53 of which the city contains
50,O43 and the county $3.50. The pop
ulation of Columbia is 10, ,037, and Of the
rest of Richland County 1861.
The population of the First District is
392,034, an increase of 85,730, 'or nearly
twenty-eight per cent. since the census OF
1870. The population of the Third
District is 259, 9,909, an increase of 1852,
or forty-two per cent. since 1870. This
gives the State a total population of
996, 1924, an increase of 291 ,2l8, or'more
than forty-one per cent. since the census
of 1870, and gain of II ,679 since the
Radical State census of 1876. In the
five years from 1870 to 1875 the increase
in population was 219, ,539, or more than
thirty-one per cent, and during the five
years from 1875 to 1880 only 71,679, or
over seven per cent. According to the
census of 1876 the average yearly
increase Of population for the five
preceding years was 49,907. By the
present returns the average yearly in
crease since 1870 has been 29,121. And
since the census of 1875 the average
annual increase has only been 1885.
The figures given in the following table
may vary little by the "of1icial count at
Washington" but the population of the
State will not be greatly reduced from
this estimate, nor will the ratio of in
crease fall below forty per cent:

USES OF BUTTERMILK.-Dathe the
face in buttermilk, sour of course; it is
not quite agreeable we know. Take a
soft rag and dip in a cup of buttermilk
and wash every part of the face, neck
and hands. If there has been greater
exposure to the sun than usual, after
washing the face well, squeeze out the
cloth and just wipe the skin off, and let
it remain without washing till morning.
You will be astonished to see how soon
the frecklcs and tan disappear. For
keeping the hands and skin soft, there
is nothing equal to buttermilk. When
cne gets burnt with the hot sun, one
OF two bathings in buttermilk will cause
the smarting to cease, take out the in
fammation and render it comfortable
quicker than any remedy ever tried.
There is something in the acid contained
in the buttermilk that does the work.
When one has stained fingers with Ell
thcr berries apples or nuts, it will re-
move the stains almost Immediately. It
is particularly cooling to the skin.
You will never try any other lotion for
beautifying the complexion after using
tn. buttermilk if you can obtain that.

More than Public Honors.

A man died in Boston few week
since, who never held a public office
neither was he rich, nor of high socia
position. Yet more that thousant
merchants were present at his funeral
and that, too, in the busiest hour o
the day.
Strong men, rs they passed by tn
bier, wept and stopping, kissed the fac
of the dead.
"Why do you weep?" asked one o
q negro.
"He fed and clothed me-" was th'
sobbing reply, "when I was in dis
tress, and has ever been brother tt
me-"
A tremendous old woman came hob
bling up to the coffin to look for thu
last time on the face of the man who
had saved her from a life of dissipa
tion and crime.
A young man followed her. He haC
been raised from the gutter and snatch
ed from ruin by him over whose life
less form he wept.
When friends and kinsmen had pass
cd before the silent bier, there came
clerks, laborers and seamen, whom the
dead man had employed. They were
there because, knowing him better than
all others. they loved him.
The man thus mourned was Deacon
Franklin Snow. Thirty-three years be.
fore he had come to Boston a poor or.
phan boy. His first service was in a
fish house, at a salary of two hundred
and fifty dollars year.
Though poor, he had brought with
him valuable capital. He was. a Chris
tian, with a pure spirit, in sound
body. Though his own master since
he was fourteen, he had no evil habits.
His employers had taken him on pro-
baton; they soon found that they need
ed both his influence and his services.
He, on his part, valued them because
they. taught him correct business princi-
ples.-

ever presented. Thousands of such
crafts were presented by all sorts of per-
sons. Not one, if sent by the Master,
ever had Deacon Snow to say, "No
funds"
So active was he in business that he
seemed indifferent to recreation. But
had one holiday each week; it was the
holy day of the Sabbath. "B.ot out Sun
day." he once wrote to friend, "and
half the pleasure of my life will be gone,"
On that day he recreated himself.
His life was filled up with little deeds
of service. His was great heart, which

"and I ought to try and save him."
