A Railroad Clerk Accused of Having
Given 1t Out at Atlanta.

Given 1t Out AT Atlanta.
Atlanta. Ca. July Am afternoon pa
per here quotes that Thomas Scrutchins,
JT., chief clerk to Superintendent Jolly Of
the Plant system, states that there was
yellow fever at Tampa yesterday. Scrutch-
ins came here yesterday from Tampa
Tonight scrutchins denies that he made
the atement and declares that the peo-
pie of Tampa are not refugeeing.
Jacksonville, Fla, July 4.-The report
that there is yellow fever in Tampa and
that people are refugeeing is denied most
emphatically by Frank b. Matthews, pri-
yRte secretary of DR.. Joseph Y Porter,
state health officer.
He states that no ground exists for such
suspicion as Dr. Porter is now in Tampa
and is in direct communication with the
state board of health.
Instead of the people refugeeing, they
are fiocking to Tampa by the thousands
TO attend the midsummer carnival now
in progress there. Thomas Scrutchins
who made the report 10 an afternoon pa
per in Atlanta, and afterwards denied that
he had made such a report, is about IS
years of age and employed as a clerk in
the office of the superintendent of the
Plant system. AS Tampa is one of the
principal points on the Plant system, and
is a pet of Mr.. Plants it is likely that
Scrutchins will find his post filled when
he returns to Florida

MOseley's Murderer.

The trial and conviction of Thomas Peter.
son for the murder of Johnson ]. Moseley L.
perhaps the most prompt conviction in the
history OF crime In Abbeville county.
The crime was committed on Saturday
night, Oct. 18th.
The jury OF inquest on Tuesday following
found that Thomas Peterson had committed
the deed.
The grand jury found a true bill against
him on Thursday, the nth.
The trial of the case began on Saturday.
The trial was ended and the case submitted
10 the jury at seven o'clock on Monday eve
ming, the 2lst. In half an hour the jury rem
dered their verdict of guilty.
On Tuesday morning. the %, Thomas Peter
son was sentenced to be hanged on Friday
December 9Th.
All this was almost with the promptness oI
an execution by lynch law.
AS everybody knows the murder was an
atrocious unprovoked crime, without the
semblance OF Justification or excuse. 1t was
a most cowardly murder.
The quick conviction of the perpetrator Of
the crime is all right. He was ably and ear
nestly defended by Messrs. Magill and Gray
don. The facts were all against their client
and no power could save him. Public sentI.
ment and the law were against him.
The odds were so overwhelmingly against
him, and his poverty. his ignorance, and his
weakness were so evident that he became al
object OF more or less sympathy.

The Cow Pea.

Ii is hard to find more palatable
and nutritious food for humanity at as
low cost as our Southern cow pea.
All varieties eat we'll, some, OF course,
preferred to others. We understand
that cow peas, rice, and piece " rat
meat, is favorable dish with the Geor-
gia cracker" The writer, we do not
mind saying, has been blessed with
five robust, healthy children, anu tnere
Is no dish that ever comes to our taole
that is better relished by them oil than
cow peas. 1t is "a very nitrogenous
food (as are all beans, and this ls IN
fact a bean and not pea and such a
food as children need to develop bone,
tissue, muscle, etc. 1t ia a very healthy
diet in every respect. but think the
peas ought to be we'll mashed before
eaten, 81 they are likely to be mastt-
Gated and dIgested better. This food Is
so easily and cheaply raised that it it
surprising that most Of our farmers DO
no, include them on their table at
least once day, every day in the year
Some of the cOarser and darker varie-
ties are in fact more palatable than
white varieties, but the latter are main
ly preferred by housewives, as they
are more presentable in appearance
when cooked and ready for service. IF
the mass of Northen people who are so
fond of navy and other varieties of
beans grown In that climate, only
knew the palatability and nutritious
ness and cheapness of our Southern
cnw peas, we Southern farmers would
soon have a Northern market for all
surplus cow peas we could raise, espet:-
tally the white and lighter coiored
varieties.

He Did RiEht.

Monday night, after the jury had rendered
their verdict in the case Of Thomas Peterson,
Judge Benet announced that as the jurors
had been kept Oh duty longer than a day,
they will be dismissed in the morning, and
would be allowed pay for that day, and he
added that If any juror desired to 20 home
that he would receive his ticket for next day,
the same as II he had remained over. He
then instructed The Clerk 10 make out the
pay tickets.
This was gracious and proper thing TO do.
It has been too often the case that Jurors
would be kept here until night. and then be
discharged SO late that they could not 20
home. Judge Benet is the first Judge that has
offered to do equity to jurors in such cases.
