travellers along the road just as
they got this side of the bridge,
were met by q CHASTITY sight-ane-
gre man suspended from a limb,
who apparently had been dead
some hours. A piece of paper
pinned to his back bore these
words: "Our women must be pro.

long to the neighhorhood in which
he was hung, and as he was un.
known the supposition was that
he had been brought some dis.
tance. HIS crime can be guessed
at from the words written on the
paper.
Since the above was in type we
learn that the crime a-nameless
one-was perpetrated on a little

the negro was in charge of a con.

a band of men took him from the

We have reached the conclusio
on the railroad question that cou
petition is more effectual than 81
pervision. Railroad companie
will always become selfadjustin
where the former prevails, an

The Beacon man overlooks til
fact that railroad pools exist. TIL
town of Aberdeen thought it ha
competition when the |. G. Branc
reached that place, but was astol
ished to find that her freight rate
were increased instead of bein
diminished. The railroads coul
agree upon pooling rates at con
peting points easier than the
could compete, hence they poole
their interests and put up til
freight.-Chickasaw Messenger.
One of the actions of the presel
Board of Supervisors upon wbic
