LYNCHING BARELY AYERTED.
A NEGRO ATTEMPTS HEINOUS
CRIME IN LEESBURG.
An Assault Upon the Wife Of the
Deputy Sheriff of Lee
County.

From the Americas Herald.
Parties from Leesburg, the quiet little
town below here, bring news of an at
tempted assault upon the person of Mrs.
B. +. Powell, wife If the deputy sheriff
of Lee county, Tuesday night.
The circumstances of the crime make
it one of the most atrOCiOus ever commit
ted in this part of the state.
Joe Reed, a negro IS years Of age, who
was almost raised and thoroughly trust
ed by the deputy sheriff, attempted an
assault on the person of Mrs. Powell.
The deputy, with his family, resides in
the Jail, in the heart of Leesburg, and
the negrr, Joe 2eed, has been employed
by him for the past several years After
the family had 1elired Tuesday night,
about ten O'Clock, ~. Powell left the
Jail and vent to a store abouS 70 yards
from the house
In his absence the negro, who sleeps
in the Jail yard, entered the room occu-
pied by Mrs. Powell and her little daugh-
ter from window which remained
open at night. as the weather was very
warm.
The first intimation Mrs. Powell had
of the tiend's presence was a noise that
he made in the room which awoke her,
and as quickly as possible she called her
younger son, who was in an adjoining
room.
This frightened the brute FROM his
tiendish purpose, and jumping out of the
window through which he entered alight-
ed in bucket of potash soap near the
window, which led to his subsequent
Identification.
Mrs. Powell quickly sent her son after
Mr.. Powell, who immediately instituted
thorough search for the brute and
found him at Salter's store, about one
hundred yards distant, in a state of ner-
vous excitement, and Immediately took
him to Jail and placed HIM in a cell ,
which he now occupies.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock when the
negro was found and he firmly protested
his innocence, but the signs of the soap
which he had stepped into while jump
ing from the window were unmistak-
able evidences of his correct Identified
ton.
A mob was formed yesterday morning
which went to the Jail with the intention
Of lynching the negro but they were
begged off by Mr.. Powell, who is a man
not easily excited, and after they were
asked to consider his position as deputy,
etc., the leader OF the mob finally agreed
to let the law take it's course, but for a
while yesterday it seemed that Judge
Lynch would hold an extra session.

There is peculiar state of affairs from

were working hard for the conversion of
the Indians with much gratifying sue

missionaries haye done, and has practi-
cally succeeded in getting about all the
Indians to return to their former pagan
religion and idol worship, which they
will celebrate by the burning of white

is the conversion of Mrs. Converse.

The ATLANTA STRIKE.

The strike in Atlanta was the out
come of an attempt to work white and
black women together as employees in
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. The
white women would not submit to the
terms of equality, and all of the other
white operatives upheld them in their
determination. The trouble was final
~ settled by the retirement of the
black women.
There is no question that the strik-
ing operatives had the sympathy of
the entire white population of the
south. The time has not yet come,
and we do not believe it will ever
come, says the Savannah News, when
the white women in the south will be
content to work alongside of black
ones, upon even an industrial equality
in a factory or elsewhere. The en-
ployer who attempts to establish such
equality will meet With merited con-
demnauon.

find consolation in the fact that an in
creased tax rate for 1897 will not be
necessary.

to increase the price of ginning from 81
to $50. This action OF the ginners was
the cause of mass meeting of the farm
ers on Wednesday to try to get the charges
to S1.25. They said if they failed to ac-
complish this they would put up gins
# their own. One farmer said he would
be willing to pay $50 for ginning if the
ginners would stop stealing cotton and
cotton seed.

THE UP-TO DATE WOMAN.
This is the
shape OF wO-
mans waist, on
which a corset tight
is laced the strings are
drawn and make it squeeze
the lutte lungs till they're
diseased; the heart is
jammed and cannot
pump; the liver
is a torpid
lump; the
food she
eats it
can't
digest;
and in
mess all are
compressed; she
wants the editor to
tell all her friends that
She a swell; she does not
care for future fate; she
wants to be close up to-date.
Alas! this woman only
grows to be a dread
full mess of woes.
This is a wOman's pat
ural waist, which cor
set never yet disgraced.
Inside it has a mine of health:
outside of charms it has its
wealth; it's plump and
solid, firm and sound,
and bard to get one arm
around Alas. if women only
knew the mischief that these
corsetS do they'd let dame
nature have her way,
and never try their
waists to "stay."
