bama.
ADMISSION, Ala, May II. = Three
negroes, Will Carter, Jim and Berry
Roden, were lynched Monday at
Childersburg by a mob, who swung
them to tree and then riddled their
bodies with bullets.
Carter and the two Roden boys en-
tered the house of d. C. Bryant, of
Childersburg, 30 miles south of Annis-
ton, Saturday night and brutally
beat Mrs. Bryant, and then as
saulted her while she was un-
conscious. The fiends were not known
until late Sunday afternoon, when the
colored girl who cooks for Bryant
made statement, giving her part in
the affair and the names of the three
negroes. All day Sunday a large posse
hunted for the negroes, but no clew
could be found until the negro girl con-
fessed.
The posse at once started in search
of the three negroes and found them at
a negro hut half mile away. The
evidence of the girl was not consid-
cred sufficient without some cor
roboration, so they were locked
up in the Childersburg jail. They
were confined there with strong
guard to watch over them until Monday
morning, when they were taken before
Mrs. Bryant to give her chance to
identify them if she could. She recog-
niZed Carter but did not know
the others, as she did not see them
while they We're in her room Satur-
day night. AS soon as Mrs. Bryant
identified Carter, he and the other two
were rushed off to railroad bridge
near by and swung to one of the tim
bers. While dangling in the air their
bodies were riddled with bullets.

SENATOR BARBOUR. pressed, as with
Group, and asked him to send for ply

Senator Barbour lay down and died
within ten minutes. The physician
pronounced the cause of death heart
failure.
There was no premonition of the
tragic end. In 1886, while in Europe,
Senator Barbour experienced a similar
attack, but it soon passed away. Last
week at the races he complained of a
similar feeling, but it was not severe
enough to disturb him any nor cause
him to abandon any of his du-
ties. He was in the senate Fri
day as usual and in the morning
attended a meeting of the commit
tee on the affairs of the District of Co
lumbia. Senator Barbour left no i'm
mediate family. His wife's sister, Miss
Dangerfeld, presided over his house,
hold, and brother resides in Culpep-
er, Va. Sergeant-at-Arms Valentine,
of the senate, is in charge of the funer-
al arrangements.
[John s. Barbour was born in Culpeper
county, Virginia, December 20 1920; pursued a
course of study at the University Of Vir-
ginia, and graduated from the law school
there in 1912; practiced law in his native
| county, and went to the legislature from
| that county in lsi7, where he served four
consecutive terms; was elected president OF
| the Orange s. Alexandria railroad in 1885,
| and held the office until the road was alb
| sorbed by the Virginia Midland in 1888. Mr.
| Barbour was member of the Forty.seventh
| Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth congresses and
succeeded Mr.. Riddleberger in the senate In
| 1889. His term senator would not have ex
| pired until May 3, 1895. Mr.. Barbour has re
sided continuously in Washington for grea,
many years, and was as highly esteemed by the
people of this city as he was honored by the
| CitiZens of virginia.

Breaking Up a Witness.

In no way can barristers better display
their acuteness than by seeing at glance
the character Of the witnesses they are
about to examine and by treating them
accordingly. Erskine was famous al
this. In case in which he was en-
gagged commercial traveller came int
the witness box dressed in the height of
fashion and wearing starched white
necktie folded in the Brummel fold. In
an instant Erskine knew his man, though
he had never seen him before, and said
to him, with an air of careless amuse-
ment, "You were born and bred in Man
chester, | perceive" Greatly aston
ished at this opening remark, the man
admitted that he was. Exactly" OBJ
served the great cross examiner, in a
conversational tone; II knew it from
the absurd tie of your neckcloth."
The roars of aughter-coming from
every person in the court, with the sim
gle exception of the unfortunate witness
which followed this rejoinder COM
pletely effected Erskine's purpose, which
was to put the witness in state of agi-
tation and confusion before touching on
the facts concerning which he had come
to give evidence.-London illustrated

The Color of ChameleOns.

AS chameleons become tame they
change color less rapidly, showing the
habit is protective and to render itself
less conspicuous. Indeed the power of
assuming the color Of it's surroundings
is the only protection these helpless
creatures possess. Mr. S. d. Bairstow
informs me that he was watching a cha
meleon on shrub when wild bee or
two came out of a nest close by, and i'm
mediately the chameleon dotted its
bright green dress and became nearly
black, and therefore inconspicuous
Their turning white at night may find
reason in the predominance of shining
foliage in the South African trees. The
leaves of most trees and shrubs glisten
under the bright stars and the moon
light and so appear white. A chameleon,
without reasoning on cause and effect,
sees bright white leaves and initiates
them.-Cor. Forest and Stream.
