He has sent her books and flowers

Not long ago he appeared. in the.

Elluville, Fla, May 21.-Tlree ne
groes were lynched Saturday night in
a dense swamp on the Suanee river,
by white men, for assaulting a white
girl. 1t is reported that they were
fiayed alive and then burned after be-
ing subjected to frightful fortunes.
Tho crime for which the negroes we're
so horribly punished was one y the
ton of Florida. The scene OF the
cite, the adjoining county to Madison
on the south. Miss Mamie Armstrong,
the beautiful daughter of a prominent
Lafayette county farmer, left her
home five days ago to spend the night
with a neighbor who lived two Nniles
distant. The next day Miss Arm
strong's father went to the house to
bring her home and was alarmed to
hear that nothing had been seen Of
her., Mr.. Armstrong aroused the
neighhorhood and a search was made.
The woods were secured and the
Suwanee river dragged. Finally about
noon, between the home Of Mr.. Arm
strong and the neighbours house, the
handkerchief of the girl was found
clinging to a bush and all around was
evidences of a desperate struggle.
The searchers followed the trail thus
indicated. finding all along that the
girl had been dragged into the woods.
After proceeding for a mile the corpse
of Miss Armstrong was found in Il
thick clump of bushes. The body OF
the girl was in a horrible condition.
Every shred of clothing had been torn
from it and she had been assaulted.
The lower limbs had been torn apart,
her head crushed and her throat cut.
1t was evident that the girl had made
a desperate fight, for under her nails
were found black pieces of cuticle
which she had torn from her aSSail-
ants.
Sam Echols was suspected and
threatened with instant death unless
he confessed. He did so and impli-
Gated Sam Crowley and Jim Brooks.
Echols said that they kept the girl for
twenty-four hours before killing her,
forcing her in the meanwhile to re-
peaiedly submit to the most horrible
indignities. For the greater part Of
the time, the negro said, Miss Arm
strong vas unconscious. Having Sc
cured the negroes implicated 10y Ech-
OILS, the white men proceeded with the
three tiends to a dense swamp on the
to suffer torture similar to that they
had inflicted OH the girl. The white
people are terribly aroused, and sM ear
that they will eXterminate the negroes
If these outrages are continued.

A Peculiar People Versed In Prac-

Hundreds of people are engaged in
Tennessee in digging roots n herbs
and gathering leaves, bark, nuts and
berries for the great pharmaceutical
Ia hratories. They are known Az the
"dipgers' of the state. The people
WHO began the business were born in
the backwoods. Farming afforded
them only Il 'scant living, fishing n
hunting were for sport, n every
time they operated a still the
officers swooped down upon them
with handouts and warrants. A sue
cession of Jail sentences convinced
them that it was better to buy whisky
than to make it themselves. When
thew quit moonshining they had to
discover some new way to a
enough money to keep things going in
hackwoods style, which means store
clothes. red-topped boots, tobacco and
nlenty of whisky for the men, and
snuff. calico and feathers for the
women. A druggist in trouble sup
piled the idea needed.
The old women of the digger dis
+ricts had always made decoctions,
teas and bitters from roots, herbs,
harks and leaves to allay all sorts of
ailments, but the idea Of selling the
roots and barks had presented
itself. Long Tom Harper was q
moonshiner in McNairy county, and
the federal Judge sent him to jail Tor
six months at Memphis once. Long
Tom served out his term, and that Jail
sentence changed many sinners into
diggers. Among other prisoners there
was a druggist who had been lncar-
cerated for a m~isdemeanor. The
druggist asked Long Tom about the
herbs in his district, and Tom told
him all he knew. The druggist pro-
posed to go home with Long Tom and
gather roots and herbs for market.
Moonshining with a Jail sentence add
ed was not pleasing to Tom, II ne
was easily induced to go into the
new venture, for the prospect OF hard
work did not seem imminent. That
was years ago. Long Tom and the
drug man dug roots and herbs; they
trimmed trees of their bark, ana
hauled bundles of it to the railway
stations to be shipped away. Toms
neighbors began digging. too, and now
they dig all the year round in the best
weather, for some things can be gath
cred in winter, although the greater
part of their collections are made in
the spring and autumn. The men
and women engaged in the business

business pays neutrality-suspicious.

Address Issued by the Conference
at Salt Lake.
Salt Lake, May 21.-The silver con-
ference just before adjourning, unani-
mously adopted the following report
Of the committee of resolutions and
address to the people of the United
States:
"We desire to say that the people
of thieves seeking to swindle honest
creditors with fifty-cent dollars. There
are no more patriotic citizens of the
American public than those active,
earnest, energetic men and women
who have left the comforts of their
Eastern homes to build the highways
of national progress in the far West.
If they believe that the complete res
toration of silver would operate as an
injury to the country as a whole, or
IN injustice to any class, regardless Of
it's local effect in this Western region,
they would at once and forever aban-
don the demand. The greatest good to
the greatest number, is their motto,
and it is in this spirit that, irrespec-
tive Of party affiliations, they present
themselves almost as a unit demand
ing the free coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to 1, with full legal
tender functions according to each
and no discrimination against the 9TH
err. 1t is not as silver miners, but citi-
zens of a republic, mindful of it's ev-
cry interest, that we take this posi-
ton. The representatives from Cali
fornia, Oregon and Wyoming. which
priduce little or no silver, feel that
their people have been as deeply in
jured by the characterization of that
metal as those living in any state or
territory in which silver mining is u
leading industry"
