two men making for the window. He
grappled with them, and fierce struggle
ensued, in which Mr.. Hanna was thrown
heavily against a marble stand but finally
overcame his antagonist. Then the other
man came TO his pals assistance with q
knife. Mr.. Hanna grasped the blade
and although IL cut him badly, succeeded
in wrestling it from the burglar. Both
men then pitched on the minister and beat
him severely. In the scuffie Mr.. Hanna
dropped the knife and the big burglar re-

Wise Words.
lROme. (Ga.) Tribune. |

This is crucial year with the far
mers of Georgia; it is year that will
be fruitful of much good or much evil
for them. II they do not let them
selves be deceived by delusion as to
the condition of affairs and the final
results, it will prove year fraught
with the most gratifying accomplish
ments.
The past few years, with the search
ty of money and the downward course
of the cotton market, has convinced
them that there can be no money in
the production OF that crop to the ex-
clusion OF provision crops, AM that the
only remedy lies in full corn--.lbs and
fat smokehouses and cotton as a sur
plus product.
Last year the crop Of provisions and
farm supplies in this section was some
thing phenomenal in the history of the
section. Provisions Of all sorts are
cheaper than ever before while cotton
| is lower.
Suppose they had planted the usual
all cotton crop last year; they would
no, have had any money to buy pro-
visions with and the prices of the lat.
ter would have been the result.
Let them repeat the experiment; ii
is one that cannot be repeated too Of:
ten for the good of the country. Ee.
cause there is an organized movement
to reduce the cotton acreage this year
let no man be deceived by the belief
that the price will 60 up next fall; il
is altogether probable that it will neve,
60 any higher in the history Of thi:
country. Now is planting time ano
let farmers cut their cloth accord
inply.

Mills asked the crowd: elbow
stands the case with your" He asked
this question several times and said he
wanted to impress it on the people.
He asked prayer for those who re-
fused to sign his petition for commu-
tation.
The Sheriff stepped up to bid George
good bye, but he asked to be allowed
to pray. He prayed earnestly and
calmly, speaking every word with eu.
phasis. "Help me to 60 along through
the last moments of death. Remem.
Der the whole human race. May il
be a great year for trusting in Christ.
He prayed for his father and mother,
the prisoners in Jail and all of his enc.
mics. He asked especially that the
sins of his enemies be forgiven. Mills
closed his prayer by saying "Fa.her,
l leave it all in Thy hands. Sanctify
and save me forever Amen"
AT 1898 Mills stepped on the trap

his arms and ankles with black cloth
and Deputy Brooks adjusted the black
cap and the rope. AS Mr.. Brooks wa:
placing the rope over his head, Mill:
asked the Sheriff to be as quick as pos
sible. These were his last words.
No time was lost after the rope was
adjusted about his neck, and Sheriff
Page at 11:4o pulled back the lever
which sent Mills down six feet below
to destruction.
The physician pronounced Mill:
dead at 1901 p. M, twenty-one
minutes after the trap fell.
The neck was not broken and he
died from strangrfation. The body
hung limp and motionless after the
drop and there was no quivering o'
perceptible contraction OF the muscles
The body was cut down at I2:IIi
placed in a coffin and taken to Apex
for interment.
