temperature is up to the sizzling point
with indications of continual rise for
the next few days, at any rate.
GeOlogist Yeates was not in the best
temperament before the sensational re-

it was stated that Governor Atkinson
condemned the exhibit and parti euiarlv

THE county court of Early county
seems to punish criminals in an unus-
ual manner-if that term is strong
enough in describing the recent con-
duct OF It's judge. A negro woman
was convicted Of stealing a pair of cuff
buttons and sentenced to 'eight
months in the chain gang or thirty
dollars fine, twenty of which could be
paid by being whipped, the remaining
ten to be paid in money or served out
in prison." The negress was marched
from the court room to the premises of
Judge Arthur Gray Powell-that is his
name, we are tOld-and there, under
the uperintendency of this humane
and just Judge, numerically beaten UNI
til her piteOus cries moved the heart Of
Sheriff Black, who stopped the punish
ment and carried the bruised and
bleeding woman to Jail. This is a
strange proceeding in civilized com
munity. Perhaps Doctor Howard
can throw more light upon this occur
renee.
