4 CarrOlton (Ga.) special says: Some
time ago there lived in this county negro
named jim Hay, who had a daughter. Mar
garet. married to Mark Attaway. and 4
son, Berry. The old man raised his family
well. amasscd little fortune OF 5000, and
was IN every respect a worthy type OF his
race. when dying preacher named Rober-
son. who practices yOOdoOi,m. tried 10 eX-
elcise his art. but was resisted by Margl-
get, who had no faith in such methods.
This made the coriuyer very mad, and be
went on yOWing Ice wOuld get even WIFI
them vet. Two weeks AGO Robertson had Il
new revelation As 10 how TO get peep into
things unknown. Hequietly succeeded in
gaining as believers both Berry Hay and
Mark Attaway. lie then went to Margaret
and told her that unless she gave him
help from her share OF the estate he would
part her from her husband. she drove him
out Of the house as her answer. The old
man called in the next day, when be knew
the brother and husband would be At home,
and proposed, by his incantatiOns, to dis
close to them great secret. no less than
that the old man, jim Hay. had been poi-
soned. The experiment was made TO the
conju-er's satisfaction.
"W hoeyer is afraid to touch this cup"
said the old man. "iS the one who poi
sOned the dead man." The TWO men
touched it to show their innocence, bu.
the woman would not, rs she did not be-
lieve in such things. THAT shows that
she done it," said the coniuror in trl-
umph: "yOu all can zee for yourself
They then turned her out OF the house,
saving they did not want any one in the
house VINO would kill her own father.
Thus the cdict has gone forth among the
negroes that the poor woman must not be
given shelter because she murdered her
father. The colored people believe b!indly
in the old cOuiuror.
