Atlanta. Ga, July Oscar Will
liams. tho negro who committed an
assault on the daughter of Henry
county farmer last week and was trans
ferred to the Macon Jail for safe
keeping, was taken this morning, at
Griffin, from the Central railroad train
on which be was being brought to
Atlanta and lynched.
Williams was pursued through four
counties by hundreds Of armed men
Immediately after committing his
crime. but managed to Escape. He
was finally captured by farmer at
Barnesyilis and hurried of to Macon,
in whose jail it was thought he would
be SAFE
Excitement was supposed TO have
subsidized until last night, when rumora
reached Macon that an effort would be
made by mob from tho noighborhood
OF the crime to take the negro out of
the Jail, and the police reserve and the
military were called out TO protect him.
To mako sure of his safety, however,
the oflicins decided to take their
prisoner TO Atlanta. They started with
MIN ON the Central train which left
Macon at 4.20 O'Clock. AT Griffin, 40
miles from Atlanta. near the scene of
Williams crime, a mob boarded the
train, topk the negro from the guards
and marched him through the prinGi-
pal business street OF the town to a
point 200 yards outside the corporate
limits. where they hanged him to a
small oak tree. The members of the
mob made no attempt at disguise, and
their names are known in Griffin,
which is town of 5000 people.
Several Of them were heard to declare
that il they had Mayor Huguely OF
Barnesvile. who saved Williams from
being lynched when first captured by
calling out the military, they would
hang him by the negro's side. Williams
confessed to his captors before they
swung him up.
The sudden revival of mob yiolencs
against Williams is believed by many
to he directly traceable to the excite
lnent following upon the sensational

ladies Laura Logue and Rachel Love.
less, started to Elkton.

MUSHROOMS.

All about our city and its neighbour
hood is continually growing, and then
going TO waste, food that might make
a wholesome and delightful variety Oh
the tables OF people who cannot afford
many Injuries. This food Is in the
snape of mushrooms OF various kinds.
Some few OF these ara unwholesome
and one or two kinds are poisonous. but
q person who has once learned to know
the different kinds cannot mistake
them. The common or meadow mush-
room is so we'll known that most per.
Sons have lost their fear of it, and 1t
is SO generally used that it rarely goes
to waste, but all about the city, in
back yards, and along CUTTERS, grow I'M
plucked, the little brown fairy ring
mushrooms, that would make many
an appetizing meal. The great putt
balls that grow ia fields and by road
sides are very palatable and nutritious,
as are also the shaggy name" mnsh.
rooms that abound in some Of our
parks; these have all been eaten with
safety ana enjoyment. The poisonous
amanita, which has given Lad name
to all mushrooms, usually grows in the
woods and its main distinguishing
feature is the socket or cup in which
it is set. but which ia generally con-
ceaied Under ground after the mush-
room or toad stool has attained full
size. No mushroom that springs from
socket or cup should be eaten, al
though there may be harmless oncs
among tho. In France, Germany, Italy,
&C., much use fur TODD is made OF the
various kinds of mushrooms and of the
fungus that grows on trees, and while
| deploring the waste of them here, 1t
would not be wise to use them for food
without being thoroughly acquainted
with them. Tho Department IT Agri-
culture at Washington has issued sew
eral valuable pamphlets on Food
Products" containing accurate descrip-
tions accompanied by colored plates,
which would enable any one to distin-
guish the edible from the poisonous
varieties. The department sends these
on application.
In Harper's Magazine for August
| 1894. Ia most interesting and valuable
| paper by the late Hamilton Gibson. H.
Illustrated by excellent drawings of the
various mushrooms and toadstoo!s, and
in Godey's Magazine forMay, 1897, is an
article on Mushroom Hunting as d
Pastime,n also illunstrated. Armed
with all these authorities, the house,
keeper might safely ventura to enrich
her bill of fare from the food that grows
free around her.

Now I bring you this glorious con- solation of future recognition. If you could get this theory into your heart, it would lift great many shadows that are stretching across it. When I was lad, used to go out to the railroad track and put my ear down on the track, and could hear the express train rum bling miles away and coming on, and today, my friends, if we only had faith enough, we could put our ear down to the grave of our dead and listen and hear in the distance the rumbling on of the chariots of resurrection victory.
 Oh, heaven, sweet heaveni You do not spell heaven as you used to spell it -h-e-a-v-e-n, heaven. But now when you want to spell that word you place side by side the faces of the loved ones who are gone, and in that irradiation of light and love and beauty and joy you spell 1t out as never before in songs and halleluiahs. o ye whose hearts are down under the sod of the cemetery, cheer up at the thought of this reunioni Oh. how much you will have to tell
