and a rope just the size of a bell
cord around his neck.
"The most of the men wanted to
lynch Rankin, but a few, among
them Mr.. w. V. Lowe,the foreman,
tried to argue to them that it would
be best to give the man up and let
him be dealt with by the law.
"What Mr.. Lowe said did not
seem to have any effect on the men.
In few minutes Mr.. Lowe went I
up to see Mr.. Tyler, and while he
was away the men took Rankin out
and down the track toward the
bridge.
"Woody Allison, a flagman, was
also there and tried to get the men
to give up Rankin, but they drove
him away with threats"
Later, Friday gave Coroner Nc
Brayer the names of Erwin Allison,
T. Nj. Bumgarner, w. H. Mayo
and Brooks Moore, as parties who
talked strongly of lynching.
THE BODY FOUND.
Officers were searching all night
for Rankin, whom everyone sup
posed to have been lynched. No
track whatever could be found of
him.
This morning, however, Deputy
Sheriff j. nj. Morgan and Officer
Caleb Leonard went down early an d
took up the search. They went up
to Carriers bridge, crossed over and
came down the river, searching ev-
erywhere. They found nothing un-
til they got down to the Sulphur
Springs road, when, on looking
toward the hill to the road, they
discovered the body of man sus
pended from the limb of a tree.
The officers ran across the fa1
and climbing the hill found Ran

{ tree is tall white oak, on the cres

Broad, several hundred yards wes

without regard 20 class or condition. 70
shepherds at Bethlehem, TO wise men
in the east.
=. The interest the angels take in
mans salvation shows the awful danger
OF sin, the greatness of salvation, and
the value OF the soul.

HELPFUL THOUGHTS.
1t has been objected to the Gospel
that 1T was not possible that the In
finite God. having created countless
worlds so immense that this world Is
but grain of sand to them, should
select this little obscure corner of the
universe rs the place where His only
Son should become flesh, live and die
Tor the salvation of the minute inhab-
itants thereof. Even Christians feel the
power OF the difficulty. But note ()
the opposite aspect of creation. The
microscope reveals thousands of living
creatures perfectly formed and cared
for in drop of water. There are one
hundred thousand million million mil
lion atoms in n cubic inch of gas, each
one perfectly made. Now, il God Is so
great that He can care for each of
these, how much more will He care for
the immortal souls He has created? (2)
1t is altogether probable that the work
OF redemption for the universe is done
in this world; that here is raging the
great battle between good and evil, for
all worlds and all times But the lag
nitude of the issue has nothing to do
with the size of the battle field. Who
counts the inhabitants of Waterloo, or
Bunker Hill, or Sebastopol in order to
learn what was done in those battle
fields? (3) The sympathy and thought
OF family always goes forth most
freely to the helpless, the sick, the
wandering ones So it is in the great
family of God. All the good in the
universe naturally turns to this lost
and sinful and sorrowing world.
