Bright's Crime.

Bright, the man lynched, lived in the
northwestern part of the county and
was exceedingly jealous of his wife
One morning she started toward the
spring for bucket OF water. Bright,
gun in hand, left the house and a mo-
ment later the children heard a shot
Bright returned shortly and said that
Mrs. Bright had been shot He again
left the house and did not return. The
children found the dead body of their
mother and gave the alarm.
After the Murderer.
The farmers hurried to the scene of
the tragedy. Quickly party of pur.
suers took the trail of the fugitive
uxorcide At each mountain pass the
party of hunters received new recruits.
Soon the woods were full of armed men,
on horseback and on foot, armed with
Winchesters, shotguns and revolvers,
bent on capturing the murderer at
whatever cost The pursuit was swift
and sure. Every ravine and cliff where
the fleeing criminal might hide was
searched. No terror-stricken fugitive
from justice could escape that army of
men who pressed so resolutely on his
heels The murderer was run down
and captured, taken to Forsyth and
lodged in Jail.

Feeling Against the Mob.

There is very strong feeling over the
killing of Williams, and some of the
mob may be killed before another day
passes. Officer Williams had not
drawn a weapon when shot, being en-
gagged in the mere task of removing
his prisoner from the room, trying to
get out of door before the mob would
reach him.

Sought Vengeance.

Saturday crowd of unusual size
gathered at Forsythe to hear the pre-
liminary trial of Bright The express
sion was clearly written on the faces
of many of the citizens of the county,
who remained in town all day Dep
uty Sheriff Williams had the prisoner
in charge.
The courtroom was crowded with
interested listeners and the prelim-
mary hearing was progressing quietly
when a mob of about 100 men, all well
armed and with determination to
avenge the wife murderers crime
written ON every face, surrounded
the building in which court was
being held A deputation twenty-five
strong was sent into the courtroom for
the prisoner As they made their APP

ensued, and most of the spectators,
anticipating trouble, beat a hasty re-

Demanded the Prisoner.

The spokesman Of the deputation
demanded that the prisoner be turned
over to the men. Williams refused and
tried to reason with them, urging them
to allow the law to take its course.
The justice of the peace be-
fore whom the hearing was be-
ing held also pleaded with them to
withdraw and to respect the law. The
deputation, however, was dead to rea-
son and insisted that the prisoner be
turned over to the impromptu court
outside the court room Still Williams
declined to give up his man, who all
this time looked as if he knew his hour
had come.

Finally the delegation, spurred on by
shouts of impotence and cries of"Hang

without, made rush for Bright and
his guard. Williams drew a brace of
revolvers with which he was armed
and was about to fire when rife shot
rang out and he fell dead at the pris-
oner's feet The shot had penetrated

Bright Lynched.

The rest of the work of the mob was
quickly done. Bright was quickly
seized and dragged out of the court
room A rope was unceremoniously
placed around his neck. One end vas
swung over the limb of a pine tree on
the mountain side within half a mile
of the courthouse and he was swung
up. His body was riddled with bullets.
Confessed to the Murder.

Floral Decorations for the Table.

For table decorations the most novel

of Neapolitan violets and Marechal Mel
roses, or flame color and black. The
new flame" tulip is exceedingly lovely
and has a delightful fragrance, which
is not the case with all it's sisters. Sin
gle candles in straight silver candle
sticks are promising to reign supreme
for short time at any rate, and every
possible bit of old plate can be brought
out and used for flowers, sweets and
fruits
For those who want to utilize their
own greenhouse flowers on every oc-
casion, a charming arrangement, es.
pecially where the white china service
is used, is to fill all the pots With palms

small cask, which he endeavored to
open. By dint of much biting he en-
larged the bunghole so that he could
insert paw; then he held the cask on
one arm and kept the other paw busy
in rapid journeys thence to his mouth
But this method of getting at the con-

standing erect on his hind feet, he in,
serted his nose in the barrel, and then
his head. Now, hears nose is so

PLAYED WITH LIVING CARDS,
A New Form of Musical Whist for Public
and Charitable Entertainments.

ana Cnar1CaDl6 entertainments.
Four players take their seats. A
large square cloth stretched on the floor
represents the top of the card table, and
the players sit, each on one square. The
cards then enter, dressed in appropriate
costumes The dresses can be made as
simple or as elaborate as may be desired
The aces and court cards should be the
tallest performers, and the kings.
queens and knaves should be made up
so as to suggest the well-known appear
ance of those cards. The pip cards
need only wear tabards, indicating
their value. School children. who can
be easily drilled, make very good pip
cards, the threes and twos being of
course selected from the youngest.
The cards should first go through evo-
lutions, accompanied by band or piano,
to express, in dumb show, shuffi ing,
cutting and dealing, and should then
sort themselves in hands and suits in
trent of respective players. This must
be rehearsed until the actors know their
parts or they will get into inextricable
confusion.
The play then begins as at whist, each
player indicating in turn a card, which
advances to the center, stepping to mu-
sic. On the completion of trick (four
cards in center) the winning card leads
the others to one corner of the table,
where they form in file; and SO on for
the other tricks, closing up when six
tricks are made on either side. At the
conclusion of the play the score is an
nounced by scorer trained for the pur-
pose, and the tricks of the winning side
lead off in triumph those of the losing
side, the cards retiring in procession. -
