A NEGRO RAWSHER LYNCHED.
CITIZENS OF SPALDING TAKE THE
LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.

His Victim n Young Woman of Good
FamiIy-SIippinE Up Behind Her
as She Passed Along n Road, He
Dragged Her Into the Woods and
Accomplished His PurpOSe-Men
Scour the Woods and Capture
Him.
Griffin. Ga, Oct 15-Yesterday after
noon about o'clock, while Miss Blanch
Gray, a young lady Of splendid family
was going from friends house to her
sister-in-law's in the northern part of the
county, a negro man slipped up behind
her as she was passing through a clump OF
wood and seized her, and, choking her,
dragged her into the woods and outraged
her in a most horrible manner. After
accomplishing his purpose he fed TO the
swamps.
1t was some time before the young lady
recovered consciousness, when she made
her way to her brother-in-law's home and
tod OF the fearful crime that had been
committed.
An alarm was sounded, and n posse was
secured and a search was made for the
brute. Every few minutes the crowd on
the hunt was augmented, until the woods
were full of outraged people looking for
the black brute.
About l o'clock this morning the negro
was caught and as he was being carried
to a place of safety, he tried 10 escape
AS he ran he was fired upon and bullet
took effect in his back, and he was soon
recaptured The negro, in company with
two others who looked something like him.
10 ~rfaH before the pirl She had
trouble in identifying her assailant. he
proved TO be Henry Miner, about % years
old, who had but few months ago been
released from the chain-gang of. this
county.
After this he confessed the crime and
told about it. He told several people that
he was guilty and was sorry for his
crime. The men who had him in charge
brought him to Griffin, and carried him
TO a physician to have the ball extracted.
While he was in the hands of the ply
stefan crowd Of determined men went
into the physicians office and took the ne
gro out and put him in a buggy and,
guarded by fifty or sixty men, he was
carried out about a mile and a half from
the city and hung and shot to death. A
placard was then attached to his dead
body reading: Thus we defend our wo-
men from outrage"
The lynching was conducted so quietly
that the crowd was out OF the city before
the officers were aware of the purpose of
the lynchers. There was but little excite
ment over the matter and the mob dis
persed quietly in different directions. An
effort was made to discover who was in
the mob, but they passed so quickly
through a side street that the citizens were
not aware of the crime until it had been
accomplished.
The body was left suspended to a limb
until the coroners inquest which was held
this afternoon. The jury found the fol-
lowing verdict
I'VE, the jury, find that the deceased,
Henry Miner, came to his death by hang
ing and shooting by parties unknown TO
the jury"
Thousands went out to the scene this
afternoon to view the lifeless form.
Miss Gray's condition is precarious to-
night.

A PALMER ELECToR RESIGNS.
j. VI. WILKINSON OF VALDOSTA TO
VOTE FOR M'KINLEY.

He Feels That as the Advocates of
ing Their Forces, the Advocates
of the Gold Standard should Do
the Snme-Mr. wilkinson Also n
Believer in IA Reasonable PrOtec-
tive Tariff.
Valdosta, Ga, Oct. 15.-The following
letter was given out for publication to-
night and has caused a sensation, Col.
Wilkinson having been among the first
movers in the Palmer and Buckner cam
paign in this section.
Hon. Thomas f. Corrigan, Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir: l hereby tender my resignation
as an elector on the Palmer and Buckner
ticket. l am convinced that every sound
money man should vote directly with the
party advocating sound money with the
prospects of success. The free silver advo-
Gates, regardless of party lines. are con-
centrating their forces so that each vote
will be a threat to the national Integrity,
a menace to the judiciary and slur upon
the ablest administration in the nations
history. My convictions are in direct OPP
position to all of this.
Moreover l have always believed in a
reasonable protective tariff that will pro-
tect the farmers wool, hides
and other products, as well as
the products of the manufacturers, and at
the same time protect the national treas
ury Therefore I shall vote my convictions
and cast my ballot for William Mckinley,
firmly convinced that this is the true
course for all advocates of sound money.
Very truly yours, J. NJ. Wilkinson.

TWO IMPORTANT CAPTURES.
A Highway RObber and "A Murderer
in the Tolls.

Valdosta, Ca, Oct. ia negro named
Walter Mcintyre, charged with holding up
and robbing Josh Patrick, a bridge watch
man near Quitman, was arrested here yes
terday, and sent to Quitman to await trial
for highway robbery. The negro was re-
leased some time ago, after serving a ten
years sentence for wrecking a train near
Dupont. He lives between Waycross ana
Boston. and is well known to the police OF
all the places between these towns. lie
was tracked TO Boston after the robbery
and then toward this city, where he was
arrested by the local police
Another important catch made by the
police here yesterday was a negro named
Henry Thomas, charged with murder at
Jasper Fla. The crime was committed
over a year ago, but the negro had been
a. large. A clue was gotten recently. ana
the local officers were requested to watch
out for him. He was captured and turned
over to the Florida officers, who idenri-
FED him as being the right man.
Dastards along the line of the Georgia
Southern road seem to have a special spite
AGAINST the ''shoody" train, which runs
between this city and Macon. A few
nights ago, as the engine was whizzlng
with the wind toward this city, the eng1-
neer discovered a pile of logs on the track
The speed was too great to stop the train
but by reversing his engine, he reduced
the speed so that no damage was done
by the collision. This happened between
Sparks and LennoX. A night or so after
ward similar attempt was made TO
wreck the train up about Pinehurst. On
Monday night Conductor Sims elected a
negro, who did not have his ticket or The
fare for his passage, and when the train
began to move off the negro opened a fusi-
lade with his pistol. No one was hit. but
me bullets made several holes in the side
of the cars.
The case at Nashville in which Mrs.
Reeves was suing the Georgia Southern
road FOR being elected during the At
lanta exposition has been continued 10
next term of the court Mrs. Reeves had
bought her pass, but was ignorant of the
TACT that she would have to have IL signed
IN Atlanta to make it valid. The case Is
attracting a good deal Of attention. ana
Will probably establish an interesting
point in laws regarding passes of the kind.

school Buildings.


Athens, Ca, oct. 15-Hon. w.
H. Minton. chairman of the
county board of education, appeared be-
fore the grand jury to-day and asked for
an appropriation of 5000 for the erection
of school buildings in different parts of
the county. The last grand jury appro-
priated $3.50 for this purpose on the under

houses at as early a date as possible, and
the 5000 asked of the grand jury will,
in all probability, be granted.

petition Hon. Andrew J. Cobb of Atlanta
to allow the use of his name as candidate
for the supreme bench. The friends Of
Col. e. T. Brown of this city are also
pushing his claims. Judge n. L. Hutch
ms of the western circuit is not candi-
date.
Nero West, a negro preacher now in
Jail here, on the charge of burglary, is
very Ill. He has grown respondent over
the fact that his license to preach will

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 15.-Julius l., Brown
has filed a sensational suit, making Sc
we're charges against the Lowry Banking
