IT WAS A TERRIBLE GANG.

The Rise and Fall OF the sImsItes-A
Bloody Record.
"The Sims gang Is wiped out" Such is
the tenor of the latest dispatches from
Choctaw county, Ala, and the adjacent
section Of Mississippi. All are gone; the
details run: -Four or five were shot dead,
nine or ten were hanged, including by ons
account Laura and Beatrice, daughters of
Bob Sims, and all OF Bob's sons and broth
ers, and a few others disappeared" in
ways not related. Take it all in all, 1t is
the most dramatic, horrible, incredible,
and altogether unexplainable Of recent
American tragedies.
1t began soon after the civil war with
the expulsion of old Bob Sims, a brave vet
eran of the Confederate army, from the
Methodist church for general recklessness
of speech and demeanor. He was n rugged
and muscular backwoodsman, an orphan
reared no one knows how, with n deal Of
native shrew dness and a wonderful gift
of CAB" but of a wild, unbalanced intellect.
He preached n compound OF Mormonism.
communism and anarchism, and soon had
some sixty followers-a terror to the whole
community.
All who offended him had to suffer. He
cut out the tongues Of cattle, cut off their
hoofs, shot horses and avenged himself in
many other ways. He manufactured
moonshine whisky and SO the federal au
thorities got after him. His gang rose on
the officers, killed one and badly wounded
another, but one of the Simses was killed
in the fray. The daughters, Laura and
Beatrice, went to the governor and tried to
make terms for their father, but threatened
vengeance on all their enemies. The cul
mination came one night when several
neighbors were gathered at McMillan's
house and store.
The Simses went with a wild band Of
fanatics, set the house on fire by throwing
burning balls of cotton and turpentine,
and as the inmates fed for their lives men,
women and children were Unfortunately
shot down The details are horrible. John
Mcmillan leaped the fence with "A child in
his arms and was shot through the body.
Old John Kennedy, with his grandchild in
his arms, reached the woods and there was
shot through the heart. Josephine McMil-
Ian, with a baby brother in her arms, was
shot down in the road and beat the grass
and weeds around her in her death strug
giles, while the baby lay screaming by with
three buckshot in his leg. All aroun the
burning building murder was in progress,
murder such AS only savage Indians have
heretofore lone in America, and all this
time the Sims gang yelled and b~lasphemed
in language too horrible for publication.

instantaneous hit with the audience by his
chuckling laugh. That chuckle was ir
resistibly contagious and always put the
audience in good humor-it seemed to be
so spontaneous and apparently was so easy
for the actor to do.
It occurred about thirty times during
each performance, and 1t killed poor Dean
Far from being his natural laugh, it was
wholly artificial and the hardest of hard
work. 1t was n great strain on his throat
and lungs, and made him always IN Easy
prey to bronchial and pulmonary diseases.
He caught cold while he was in Cincin-
natl and coughed terribly. One of the
spasms OF coughing brought about death
by the heart trouble from which he had
long been a sufferer.
Mr.. Dean was one of the most accom-
plished actors OF old men parts on the
stage. He had during his thirty years in the

Three were shot dead and many badly
wounded, including Miss Belle Mckenzie.
A child of seven years, but slightly
wounded, was thrown into the flames and
literally roasted to death. The people rose
rs one nan and besieged the cabin of Bob
Sims. He and his gang defended it with
Spartan heroism, shouting defiance, sing
ing their peculiar songs and even playing
the,fiute in the intervals of the battle. A
six-pounder ann was brought, however
and they had to yield; and then the hang
ing followed. Bob Sims, Will Savage and
Tyree Savage were hanged first, on the
same oak tree, with" the rope from Neil
Sims well. Then n general hunt for the
others began.
Neil Sims, n negro outlaw named Hur
ton and u few others had got into the
woods, but II few were captured. The de
tails are not given-they disappeared"
Then "A neighbor who had witnessed the
night attack at McMillan's made oath thai
he had seen Laura and Beatrice Sims In the
attacking party cheering on the men, and
their fate was sealed. Lynching of women
is such "a revolving matter that a denial
has been published, and it is even claimed
now that one of the Sims men, Bob's broth
err Neil, escaped.

Nearly every one has a certain vein OF
savagery lurking beneath the veneer of
civilization, and for that reason many eau
casians voluntarily return to the primitive
life Of long forgotten ancestors. A mis-
sionary, who has arrived on the coast from
the interior Of Africa, says hat one Of the
Europeans who took part in the disastrous
battle between the Zarewsky expedition
and the Wahehe natives, is now a prisoner
in the hands of the Wahehe. Scattered
through Africa are white men who are in
bondage or have voluntarily taken up their
residence there. DR.. Nachtigal's servant
is an example. He deserted his master in
the Soudan, and at last accounts he was
living near Lake Tchad, the only white
man in that part of Africa.

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency OF
the disease to result in pneumonia. pro.
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur

has failed to discover a single case that

pneumonia. Fifty cent and 81 bottles for

Southern farmers corn is one oe tho
most troublesome and expensive of
all the grains to cultivate. To grow
1t successfully requires long and close
attention, the season of its culture
ana harvesting stretching from Feb
uary to November.
With the same expense of cultiya-
ten and labcr generally put into a
barley crop, the barley will be worth
largely more to the Southern farmer
than the corn crop gives on our
average land, while the period of cul-
tlvatlon and harvesting embraces only
few days each in the fall and sum-
mer.
One Of the great advantages barley
mas over corn is that it enables the
FARMERS to dlspo Sc of the employment
ana feeding of hoe hands through the
iohg' months OF summer. Another ad-
vantage lies IN the fact that one Of the
most valuable features Of the barley
crop comes III the rich pasture, or soil
ing, which the plant affords in the
winter time when green food is scarce.
and important. Experiments made
:! aS VI out HlOSb progressive farm
ers 10 Georgia in the cultivation of
oafley show that it can not only be
grown with great success as u grain
crop here. but those experiments have
demonstrated clearly also that it is
one OF our most valuable plants for
solllng purposes.
The season of the year is now ap-
preaching for sowing barley. We
would advise our planters who have
not heretofore had experience IN
growing the grain to plant few acres
as an experimental crop. The ground
should be well prepared, well fertiliz-
ed and plowed deeply /; and then the
grain sowed very thickly and harrow

or moving machine can easily run
over it.-M. 7. d., IN Houston Post.

BARLEY.

Barley as a regular grain crop is but
little known i'll the South. 1t is,
however, one of the standards i'm va
rious parts of the world. in she old
world especially. All over the Pacific
coast of North America; the grain is
extensively grown, taking the place of
our Indian corn as an element of food
for horses and other live stock ON the
farm or ranch. The California crop
of barley is immense, there being, as
a rule, no corn cultivated in that State
except ON small scale III few iocali-
ties, and then the product is coufined
almost exclusively to the roasting ear
patch. Not one horse in thousand
in California knows what corn is.
1t is little remarkable that our
Southern people have so long neglect
ed this valuable grain. 1t is more
valuable as horse food than CORE,
and it is far more easily cultivated.
There is also more economy in grow
ing barley. With the majority OF our

A New Method Of Washing.

A method of Washing is being ex-
tenslyely adopted in Germany and
Belgium. One of its special advant-
aSes is that it counteracts the i'll ef-
tects of soda, which is much used in
Europe upou linen. Two pounds of
soda are dissolved in three gallons of
Wator, aud to this is added tea
spoonful of turpentine and three LIQUID
ammonia. When the mixture has
been we'll stirred the linen is steeped
In 1t for two or thee hours. During
the operation the vessel is closed as
tightly as possible. and afteIward the
clothes are washed out and rinsed IN
TIE usual manner
The soap and water may be used
again with the addition Of half tea
