Jasmis Lamar Pays the Death Penalty
for Murder.

Darien, Ca, June 0.-JasmisoLamar
(colored) was hanged here to-day. At
1885 o'clock Lamar was photographed,
being anxious to send his picture to his
family At II o'clock the sheriff called
to him that everything was ready, and he
went upon the gallows. Lamar had
nothing to say and the black cap was ad-
justed, the benedictiOn was pronounced
and the drop fell at II 10 o'clock At
II :22 the doctor pronounced him dead
The body was then cut down and placed in
a pine coffin. Before the cap was put
over his face, Lamar raised his right
hand to heaven several times. Only
the officers, the preachers. news
paper men, his attorney and a few
friends saw the hanging, although a great
crowd had gathered. The gallows was
enclosed so that no outsider could see in.
LETTER FOR THE SHERIFF.
Just before he left the cell he wrote the
following letter to sheriff Bailey:
In Jail, June 50, 1893.
"Mr. Thomas A Bailey:
Dear SRI write to let you know how
much like you. hope that the Lord
win bless you and that you may not get
mad with me. You have treated me as
kind as you could. The Lord will bless
you. Please don't think hard of me.
You have feeling for me, but
the law holds you to your duty and prom
Use. You are a good man and hope that
after my death you will give up the Office
You are merciful man and God will
bless you for your kindness to me some
day Mr.. Bailey, don't think hard Of me
if you please sir.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
The crime for which Lamar forfeited
his life was one of the most cruel and
brutal murders that is known in the an
mails Of crime.
On November %, 1898, a crowd of col
ored men were engaged in the notorious
game of " skim" a game that has caused
more blacks to lose their lives than any
other 1t was about o'clock, and those
in the game were mostly men that came
down from the up-country on RATS of lum-
Der. They are always met here by few
sharks who try and relieve them of
their money. Archie Bird, the now
dead man, owed James Lamar fifty
cents, for which Lamar asked, and as
Bird refused to hurry up, Lamar
pulled forth his bulldog and fired
twice in rapid succession, the balls taking
effect in the body of Bird, who fell; and
as the man who had then received his
death wound was falling, the murderer
shot again, inflicting another wound.
Lamar instantly took to the woods and
made Off in the direction of Lau-
rens county. The shooting oc-
CURED about one-half mile from
the city limits. The news
spread rapidly, and as soon as the fact
was made known TO Sheriff Baily he Sc
cured the services of man to identify
Lamar and started to capture him. In
about an hour after he left town he re-
turned with his prisoner having cap
tured him about ten miles from the city.
Lamar was tried for his crime on May q,
last and convicted and sentenced.
He gave Sheriff Baily little or no troub-
le. The Rev. RObt. Mefliin, the pastor of
the colored Captist church, saw him con-
stantly, and the condemned man seemed
contcntcd with his fate, and expressed
himself as ready to go.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
The Cool Wave win Decrease the Nrmoer

BRUNSWICK, GA, Oct. 16-Twenty-
seven new cases Of yellow fever were re-
ported to-day-seven whites and twenty
colored.
y. c.. Bodet, secretary Of the Health
Board, has compiled the following reca-
pitulation: Cases under treatment, 90
whites. ia colored--total, $40; discharged,
IFS whites. 105 coiored-total. 22S; dead, "
whites 3 colored-total, q.
The confident prediction Of Surgeon
FACET that this continued cool wave will
greatly decrease the number OF new cases
after six days has buoyed the people up
considerably. There are some, however,
who disagree with Surgeon FACET, ana all
are positive that the low death rate TO
date should not be counted as sign that
mortality will not greatly increase as TINS
cool wave has caught many under treat
ment who are practically unprepareo LOT

Dr. J. ]. Knott Of Atlanta, arrived In

new theory that turpentine and ozone
will cure yellow fever. He will hardly

conversation to-day, DIT Will MAKE OD-
seryations. Should he make a success Of

free advertising.
DR.. Robert l.. f. Burford is out

T. w, Lamb in an interview to-day. ex-
pressed his sincere appreciation Of the
work the Hon. Henry G.. Turner, the
member of Congress from this dis
trict had done. and is now doing for the
stricken of Brunswick. By private con-
tribution OF a liberal nature and personal
labor in Washington, Mr.. Turner has
shown his feeling for the people here
and his anxiety to relieve their dis
tress. His work has been quiet, but
none the less effective. V. Barkuoo,

Rush Lodge, /. o. o. #. The death of
T. T. Waff, Grand Master. relieved the
lodge of all remaining officers except
Burkuloo, who is a past grand. The
small death rate Of the scourge has been
made upon an uncertain basis, and be-
fore the real conflict is over. The sick
ness has been OF very severe type.
but has been treated with the utmost
skill and by the most energetic physi-
clans. The harmony Of the forces and
the sympathy and the patriotism Of the
management has made a big count on
the relief afforded.

editors of the leading newspapers nave
agreed not to spare words in denouncing
lynch law and mob rule wherever they
find them, and to use every available
means 20 stamp out this form OF violence
In this State.
North Carolina has long been noted for
the conservative character of its citizens,
and there has probably been fewer lynch
ings here than in any other Southern
State Still, there are occasional lynchlngs.
Continuing, the writer quotes Dr. I. b.
Kingsbury, the editor Of the Wilmington
Messenger, as saying:
1.-THE South owes 1t to the preservation
of law, order and civilization TO stamp
out the widespread lawlessness that al
flicts, curses and degrades it, II is grow
ing all the time At first the red-handed
murderers and the beastiy vioiators OF
white women and children, were the
victims Of speedy justice, as administer
ed by Judge Lynch. But like ali vice II
has grown and widened with indulgence
and people are murdered for other causes,
and even for opinions sake. 1t is an age
OF lawlessness, Of violence Of crime. II

United States than 1t is in England"
