Crazy About witchcraft.

ATLANTA, June 3-William Esmond,
one of the wealthiest farmers of Murray
County, Ga, and a man of considerable
intelligence, has gone perfectly crazy
over witchcraft. he employs number
of hands, and has never shown weakness
except on this one subject. He came
home few evenings ago and discovered
a green stick standing against his door,
which some one had left there on purpose,
and before it could be moved he ntinto
convulsions. 1t is said that few marks
made on the ground in front of his door,
if given peculiar turn, are sufficient to
keep him from entering by the front
door for two weeks. His family are
intelligent, well educated people, and it
is a continual scource Of modification to
them to see the head of the house acting
in such manner.
It is said that when he was child,
being an orphan, he was cared for by an
old negress who for a long time had lived
on his fathers plantation and who imbu-
ed his mind so thoroughly with the
superati tions of her race that he has nev.
er been able to overcome her early
teachings. He is good conversationalist,
presents splendid appearance when
dischsrging the duties of host unless
the conversation happens to turn on
signs and omens, when he Immediately
