Larkin Lynchsa.
A Colored Man Put the Moose Around
the Fiend's Neck.

A Colored Man Put the Moose Around
the Fiend's Neck.
Jacksonville, Fla, July l2.-An
Ocala special says that a negro
named Robert Larkin was lynched
shortly after noon today by the citi
zens of Citra and vicinity, for ravish-
ing Miss Fannie Alexander last Mon
day noon: She is a refined young
lady, eighteen years Of age, Of the
highest social connection and stand
ing. She was returning to her home
near Citra from the post Office, when
Larkin suddenly sprang from a
thicket, seized the horse by the bride
and dragged her from the buggy.
At the point of a cooked pistol, he
forced her into dense woods and
there accomplished his purpose.
Four different negroes have since
been taken into custody blythe lynch
ing posse, but none of them were
identified as the assailant.
Today Larkin was captured and
taken before Miss Alexander, who al
nee recognized him, and his features,
clothing and general appearance
tailed exactly with the description
which she had previously given.
Larkin was at once strung up to
a tree and his body riddled with bull
let's. Ii was a negro who put the
moose about the culprit's neck when
he vas swung off.
Larkin had been a petty thief and
all round crook about Ocala for a
year or two past, and had frequently
been sent to Jail under the name of
White. The lynching is generally
justified by whites and blacks alike.

Don't Miss This Crop.

About the middle of this month or
a little later plant a fall crop Of Irish
potatoes, if the season should be
suitahl-Ihe small potatoes saved
of the first crop make the best seed
for this crop. Before planting they
should be wilted and sprouted. For
this purpose spread them in a cool,
dry place, such as a barn floor, or
under a shed or house, and when
they commence to sprout they are
ready for planting. Plant the whole
tuber. Prepare the ground thor
oughly; free It from all grass, and
lay off your burrows from two to
three feet apart. No strawy manure
must be used-only well rotted-and
this applied broadcast. Plant on a
level and don't ridge up. A mulch
of two or three inches deep of fine
straw will be of great benefit to keep
the ground cool and moist.

What Shall We Drink?

When the rays of old Sol are boil
ing down at ninety degree rate, the
air like the breath of q furnace and
everything hot, dry and dusty, the
natural desire of the average human
is to drink. But, what to drink?
there's the question.
The serious effect of an over in
diligence in ice water is we'll known.
The thousand and MT cheap gassy
beverages are known to be more or
less injurious to the health, while the
mineral waters OF known purity and
healthfulness are a luxury beyond
the reach of but few. What shall
We drink?
A beverage to meet the require
ments, must, first Of all, be absolutely
pure and n~on-alcoholic. 1t should
possess a medicinal element to coun-
teract the effects of the heat and keep
the blood pure and the stomach
healthful. In order to be palatable
and refreshing, it should be sparkling
and e~ffervescent. Last but not least,
it must be economical and within the
reach of all. A beverage that fully
meets all of the above requirements
and one that is entitled to more than
passing mention is Hires Root Beer,
manufactured by the Chas. E. Hires
Co., of Philadelphia. This prepare
ton has been analysed by the highest
authorities and pronounced by them
to be free from any deleterioas sub
stance and absolutely n~on-alcoholic;
while all physicians acknowledge its
health giving qualities. 1t has a de-
l~icious, appetizing flavor, is full of
snap, sparkle and efferyescence, and
is without a peer as a refreshment.

That is the question now when the

That will be the question until the

No Jurisdiction.

That Was The Decision of Judge
Ernest Gary.
Judge Gary in delivering his opin-
ion, said that the demurrer admitted
the allegation. of the petition relates
to the appointments a dispenser a
writ of prohibition would not lie. If
the Board had attempted to appoint
FIVE dispensers for Richland county
by TIE
Act, then prohibition would lie, but
as they had appointed only one it
had not exceeded its Jurisdiction.
The Board of Control were the
sole judges of the facts upon which
they had acted. In appointing a
dispenser the Board was pursuing
the line OF their duty, and jurisdic.
ton as to the facts lies with the
Board of Control. The court, there
fore, had no power to grant the writ
of prohibition.

issued:

hear and determine this cause, it is
ordered hal the demurrer be sus-
tanned on the ground of the want of

School for Women and the Dispcn-

Ben Tislman, and should he enter
the United States Senate he would
accomplish something. He would

awake, aud it is my firm belief that
his fertile brain would soon enable
that august body to find a way to
