Child Whipped to Death.

Meridian, Oct. ls-Reports reached
this city last night of n most brutal and
tiendish act, committed by man named
Will II. Martin, in Clarke County, near
Energy, which resulted in the death of
his infant child.
1T seems that this monster became so
onraged at the baby that he whipped it
most cruelty and numerically with
heavy leather strap, continuing his mur-
ierous work until the little thing was
thrown into convulsions. While he was
thus applying the lash with all mis-
might, tho mother Of the babe, with
tears in her eyes, stood by and pleaded
that her child be spared from further
torture, but the inhuman brute, threat
ening to kill her if she interfered, con-
tinued to vent his madness upon the
body of the baby, already beaten into
insensibility. Finally, after whipping
it until life was extinct, he placed the
child on the bed and walked away from
tho uousc, olHSo Wuiou uluc uO udo uOU
been seen.
The Indignation of the people in the
neighborhood was fully aroused when
they were informed OF Martins brutal
conduct, and posses were organized and
the woods and surrounding country
secured in an effort to capture him. The
murderer is still at large.
In 1888 Martin, together with a man
named Hood, lynched negro near San
iersvlle, in Jones County, for which he
was afterwards pardoned by Gov. Lowry.
lie was convicted at the last term OF the

Attempt at jail Delivery.

Holly Springs, Oct. l5.-Therc was an
attempt at Jail delivery here al a:30
this morning that resulted in the fatal
wounding OF bad negro, a broken
headed jailer and badly scared den.
tist Dr. A. b. Ross dentist, had been
summoned to pull tooth for Lucius
Taylor, white prisoner. In the same
cell with Lucius were Bob Kennedy and
Lee Shinault, negroes, and after Lucius
came out into the corridor and the door
was being closed, the negroes threw
themselves against it and pushed it
open. Bob Kennedy grappled with the
jailor, Melzar Cochran, exclaiming:
"B- G., you've got to kill me this
morning" Cochran is strong and plucky,
and held his own against his powerful
antagonist. Lucius Taylor struck at
Bob Kennedy with small stick, which
did no harm, and then the other negro,
Lee Shinault, struck Cochran over the
head with large stick, knocking him
to his knees. Taylor succeeded in
getting Cochrans pistol out and shot
Kennedy twice in the abdomen and
head. Dr., Daniel pronounces the
wounds fatal. The other negro ran into
his cell after striking the blow.

GOLD HOARDINGS.

The cause OF silver is not as hope
less as a great many persons profess to
believe. In England. the strongest gold
country in the world, there are men,
and able ones, too, who are at last
beginning to realize the futility Of the
attempts to maintain a single gold
standard and have the courage TO ex.
press their opinions and point out the
errors Of the monometallists.
A recent number Of the London
Financial Times contains an article by
a silver advocate which ridicules the
arguments Of the monometallists and
points out several OF their fsllacies. He
calls attention to the fact that all
sound economists declare that gold al
money is not in itself wealth and cites
the cases OF Spain and Portugal which
at one time possessed all the gold and
silver mines in the world and yet they
were outstripped in the race for real
wealth and became the poorest countries
10 Europe. This sam fate, the CORE
spondent says, England may share if she
does not attend more to the needs Of
her trade and less to the idea Of piling
up 9 gold reserve in the Bank Of Eng
lang.
England, however, is not alone in her
scramble for gold, it being stated that
the European syndicate Of bankers sup
posed to be tinanciering the Austrian
treasury has been taking the gold ex.
ported from this country and has ar
ranged to take more.
This boarding Of vast sums of gold
by these two nations will not seriously
affect silver using countries, who will
continue to transact their own bust
ness with silver and find it profitable to
let gold go to the nations that are hoard
ing il. As now handled by some Of the
European nations the gold exported from
America seems to be more 9 commodity
than q money.
