Thus ends the life of a man who
was said to be desperate character.
But, under the circumstances, Meth
er his character nor his color justify
the unlawful manner in which he
was killed. He was a prisoner, in
the hands of an officer, and as such
deserved protection. 1t seems from
the above statement, which was fur
nished us by William Jockey, who
assisted in guarding McAtee, that
some effort was made to protect him.
The whole affair is deeply to be de-
plored. 1t is a black spot upon the
fair name of Hardeman-a county
noted for its cultured, peaceful, pros
porous citizenship. We will not
long enjoy that reputation if our
people encourage such unlawful ac-
lions as the above. Our lands will
depreciate in value as well as our
morals. The man or men who kill
ed that negro are guilty of cold
blooded murder. They may never
be tried before jury, but their own
will convict them.

Bachelor" of Covington, in your
article to the BULLETIN, of June
18th, you seem to be laboring un-
der mistaken apprehension. For l
most certainly did not state in my
"usual unevasive manner" that
Paul was a widower, as l think you
will be fully convinced if you will
look up my letter which appeared in
the BULLETIN of May 21st. / have
your letter by me now, and l find
that you quote the very same verse
of scripture that l did in confirmation
of his being a bachelor. l quite
agree with you when you say that it
is simply preposterOus to think that
Paul was a widower while teaching
the doctrine he taught in the 9Th
verse, 7th chapter of First Corinthi-
ans. No widower, at least no wild
over of our'acquaintance, ever preach
ed any such doctrine as that, but
quite the contrary. No, "Bachelor,"
Lucille asserted then, and still asserts
that he was without doubt bach
elor. If you doubt the truth of my
saying at the time, just give me
your address, and l will take pleas
ure in mailing you a copy of the Bull
containing letter in question.
An apology for your misconstruction
will be accepted if rendered. And
while we are about it why not ask
Ragged Edge" to give US, what
he considers proof of Pauls widow
erhood. LUCILLE.

RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
Details of the Killing Of
the Negro McAtee
by q Mob.

Last weeks BULLETIN contained
a short notice of the killing of John
McAtee, col, by mob Thursday
morning, June 10th, in the third
civil district of this county. The
particulars, so far as we can learn,
are as follows:
McAtee was a sub-renter from
Mr.. Joe Hamlet. The two men had
been at outs for some time, caused
by a misunderstanding in regard to
working some stock. Hamlet claims
that McAtee threatened his life, and
on Wednesday, June 9th, he caused
his arrest. McAtee was tried be-
fore Esquire J. w. Bass, of New
Castle, who placed him under bond
to keep the place, Failing to make
the bond, he was turned over to Mr..
Lee Gibson, constable of the district,
who started with him to Bolivar to
confine him in the county Jail. On
the way to Bolivar, McAtee begged
the officer to wait until he could see
Mr.. Calvin Jones, who had control
of the land upon which he worked
that he believed he would arrange
for his release. Yielding to his re-
quest, Gibson carried the prisoner
to his (Gibson's) home, intending to
guard him through the night and go
the next morning in search of Mr..
Jones. William Jockey, by re-
quest of Gibson, assisted in guard
ing the prisoner. Gibson, Jockey
and McAtee retired in the same
room, the latter occupying pallet
on the floor. About l o'clock Glib
son heard voices in his yard. He
went to the door, but could see no
one. He returned and told the pris-
oner that he could hear some talk
ing on the outside, and that he did
not understand what was up unless
it meant some harm to him. The
prisoner remarked that he had not
been asleep; that he had heard those
voices for three hours and appealed
to the officer and his assistant for
protection. Gibson assured McAtee
that he would do all in his power to
protect him, and advised him to
leave the room, go into dark hall
way, which was pointed out to him,
and secret himself. The officers adj
vice was taken. AS soon as the ne
gro entered the hall, the mob ad-
vanced upon the house and attempt
ed to batter down the doors. Glib
son asked the cause of the intrusion.
He was informed that McAtee was
wanted. As a ruse, Gibson stated
that MeAtee had given bond, had
been released and that he knew
nothing of his whereabouts. Not
satisfied with this answer, the mob
continued to batter at the door.
Gibson then fired FIVE shots. In the
mean time the prisoner escaped from
the hallway and crawled underneath
the house, which was surrounded
by about so men. His hiding place
was quickly discovered. He was
pulled out into the yard and shot to
death. The mob, or some of the
leaders thereof, informed Officer
Gibson that his prisoner had been
killed and told him that he could
take charge of his body. A jury
of inquest was summoned the next
morning whose verdict was that Nc
Aztec met death at the hands of IN
known parties.

NEW YORK LEADS.
Consumes More Beer Tnan Any Other
City-Chicago Second.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 1?-New York consumes
more beer than any other ci y in the country.
During the year 1896 s,9ls,S0S barrels OF beer
were sold in the Eastern market. Chicago
comes next with record OF 3, ,lQS, ,222 barrels
sold during the year. The amount of beer
sold in Chicago last year is 80 SS7 barrels more
than during the pre- sious year. This is the
largest increase noted in any city. New York
comes next with 227.gai barrels increase over
the previous yea. New Orleans shows a de-
crease Of 1862 barrels as compared with the
previous year. The popularity OF beer in Gin.
cinnati is also apprently waning, as there
were 5J29 barrels less sold last year than dur
ing the year before. This is tho largest de-
crease shown in any city. The reason given
for this condition is that both are sou hern
cities and that the people in that section arc
gradually showing preference for light Ame-
rican wines, especially California claret.

Citations and vague feelings.
This class Is made up OF the rich and

A Unitarisn could never say to those in
hesitation about joining his religious

But today there is new party fast in
creasing in NUM- bers and influence In this
religious world, the party Of those who
wish to retain the old phrsseoiogy, the
old creeds and at the same time accept
and live out the newly discovered parts
which directly contradict the supposed
facts on which these old time statements,
cerem onies and institutions were honestly

the comm union of liberal churches is free
