Mr.. EDIToR-I read a communication
in your paper about city or county court
about to be showed on the people before they
know it. am satisfied that Mr.. Hardage,
a man whom / voted for and respect, is
not doing the wish Of the people if he has
passed that hill 'Objector" was right in
his piece. | would like to know myself
who is the daddy of the bill and what body
of our citizens said they wanted county
court, ] have talked TO my neighbors and
they are opposed to the bill, and say that
we have no need for it, and, as Director
says, il must have been gotten up to suit
the convenience of somebody who wants a
soft place" Let our brother AlEsucemen
speak out in their meetings and say II they
want this county court TO be sitting every
two or three months i'll the year at big
expense of Judges salary, jurors fees,
bailif' fees, sheriff's and other officer S
fees. ESQ they mustn't grumble i. their
taxes are raised to foot the bills

LEFT HANGING ALL DAY.

Walter Asbury, colored, alias
Berrian, was lynched at Pooler, ten
miles west of Savannah, early Sun
day morning for assault upon Lula
Kissman, a 17-year-old German
girl, Saturday afternoon. The as
sault was made upon the girl at her
home in the center OF the town
while the family was away. She
was beaten in the struggle with her
assailant, but she successfully re-
sisted him. Her clothing was torn
from her body. Her face was terri
bly, beaten and gashed. One eye
was closed. The fnger-prints of the
negro were on her neck and cheeks
were torn and bleeding. Her neck
was so wrenched that she was I'M
able to turn her head. The floor
and furniture were covered with
blood, and the girls hands were
bloody where she fought her asEail-
ant. Her cries attracted a colored
man, who was near by, and rescued
her from her assailant's clutches.
Asbury sprang through the door
and escaped. In the next house he
knocked down a woman and seized
a double barreled shot gun and fed
to the woods. In an hour the whole
town was in arms, and mounted
posse started in pursuit, About mid
night the negro was found at a low
dar ce, about mile from the scene
of the assault. He was taken back
to the girls house, and she identi-
fed him as her assailant. His
clothes were covered with blood
from the encounter with the girl.
He confessed the crime and beg
ged for mercy. Three hundred
masked men hurried him to an open
field near the railroad, where he
was strung up to tree and riddled
with bullets. Across his bedy was
pinned paper with the inscription:
''This is the way we protect our
homes"
Asbury asked for time to pray
and it was given. He begged that
word be sent his wife. The body
was lett hanging all day. The au-
thoritles attempted to interfere and
prevent the lynching, but the mask
ed crowd was so great that they
could do nothing.

The Athens Chronicle is coming
to the front as the narrator of queer
things. Its latest is this, quoting
its informant: ''Last week | pur-
chased lot of watermelons from
countryman, and sent them home.
After l had eaten all the melons
but one, and having an appetite
that demanded more, / placed this
one on the table and cut it. I'm
aglne, if you can, my surprise when
L found there was no heart to the
melon, but it had smooth opening
on each side. By placing the two
halves together, | could see that the
space was made by something round.
| began to look around to try to
discover what could have made
the place, when right under my
nose, on the table lay a small snake.
1t was of a light green color, about
16 inches long, and had a horned
head. | never saw, or heard of, one
like it before. The rind of the
melon was perfect, and it could not
have crawled through it. The near
est | can guess at it is this: 1t must
have been a very small snake when
the melon was in bloom, and got in
one of the blooms, and when it de-
veloped into a small melon, the
snake went into it." The Chronicle
thinks the above to be the hugest
snake yarn that it has ever heard,
but prints it as fact, on the au-
thority of one whose veraclty it
would not dare question.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

The most important question
concerning the Brown-Sequard elk
If is not as to whether it will put
new in a man, but as to how long
that new life will last. There is a
kind of elixir that will make a war
ricr of man weak and gentle as a
woman, and rejuvenate his system.
But the trouble is the elixiration or
exhilaration does not last long
enough. Then comes the hopeless
reaction that leaves the aged a
month or two elder by morning
than he was at the preceding mid
night. Probably the wonderful
new elixir is but another one of
those abnormal stimalants, like the
alcoholic or various narcotics, which
rouse for a brief interval brain to a
more vigorous thought and body to
quicker motion. The rule that has
generally been held to apply to
human vigor and vitality is that the
higher art strives to abnSrmally
stimulate the body the lower nature
drags it down in resentful reaction.

DEADLY WEAPONS.

Too many men carry pistols. If a
man does or says something you do
not like, shoot him. The time was
when it was thought honorable for
combatants to settle their differences
with deadly weapons. Daniel O'Con-
nelllkilled D'Esterre; JamesStewart
killed Alexander Boswell; Andrew
Jackson killed Charles Dickinson;
John II. Benton killed Mr.. Lucas;
Mr.. Graves killed Mr.. Cilley; Aaron
Burr killed Alexander Hamilton;
and even Dewitt Clinton exchang-
ed five shots with John Swarthart.
But those days are far gone by, and
any attempt to revive them ought
to meet with the anathema of all
decent society. But they were not
so bad as this frequent shooting in
our time without any Introductory
civilities, which would give man
chance to make his will and say
good-by to his family. There is,
evidently, among certain educated
and we'll. TODD men an impression
that they can right their wrongs by
mansluaughter. There are those
who think it looks brave to carry
pistol. Now, | will undertake to
say that any man, who lives in a
well-defended city and is afraid to
go out and come in without firearms,
has not the courage of sheep. If
called to go out on the borders of
civilization, or as an officer of the
law to explore the haunts of a great
city, deadly weapons may be an APP
propriate accompaniment; but he
who in peaceful times and in a we'll
governed neighborhood carries dirk
or pistol has the spirit of murder,
whether or not he commits the
crime. In all the history of the
world SANDER was never bafled, nor
was honor indicated, by taking the
lite of another. Do not think that
by violence you can adjust anything.
Keep your heart right and your
life right, and you are independent
of the worlds bombardment. Snap
your sword-cane and throw your
derringer into the river What
chicken-liver instead of heart you
must have that you must be armed
to walk the streets. 1t you are
afraid to go down the road unarmed
you had better get your grandmoth-
er to go along and defend you with
her knitting needles. There is a
certain kind of man who ought new
er to have pistol in his pocket or
under his pillow, or anywhere in
the house, from garnet to cellar,
and that is the young man, or old,
who has violent temper. To say
nothing of a revolver, it is danger
Gus for you to have so much as
percussion cap or ramrod. You
carry pistol when suddenly, in a
moment of insane fury, you may do
something you may be sorry for
through time and through eternity.
With such temper as you have, to
carry a weapon of death is as un.
wise as to put gun powder and luci-
fer matches in the same box. The
orderly citizen in our orderly neigh
borhoods in the next hundred
years will need no firearms. Ten
lives are lost every year through
the accidental discharge of firearms
where there is one life saved by be-
ing armed. This complete puppy
ism that cannot live without being
armed with deadly weapons ought
to be spanked and put to bed be-
fore shutdown. Dewitt Talmage.

An Encamnment of Lans.

AT Tromsoe, the sheltered capital of
northern Norway, our steamer remained
just long enough to allow us TO visit an in
teresting camp of Laps and their rein
deer in the neighborhood. The company
visited had pitched their tents on the
side of the mountain, and abont dozen
or more seemed to live comfortably
enough in space we might portion off
for so many hens and chickens. Both
men and women were remarkably short,
seldom more than four feet high, with
eyes wide apart and fiat, expressionless
faces.
They wore reindeer garments, with
leather boots up to the knee and bright
colored hats in the form of sou u'westers on
their tangled locks. At our request the
men called loudly TO the Lap-in- Chief,
who was waiting for summons upon the
hills to bring down his herd of reindeer,
and very soon the cries of the dogs and
the rattling of the horns of the deer were
to be heard, as the beautiful creatures
answered to the call of their master and
bounded down the hillsides toward us.
The patriarchal Lap, after we had made
few vain attempts at exchanging courte-
sizes, signifed he expected a handsome
donation for his trouble, and ON saying,
'good-bye," we noticed that the Nor
wegian sailors who accompanied us each
gave his coin in turn, it being considered
unlucky 10 part with the Lap without
