KISSING IN ATLANTA A
GROWING EVIL.
A Society Leader Issues a Letter
Of Warning to the Young
Women.

In local social circles a tire.
mendous sensation has been cre>
ated by the charge that kissing
is a growing evil in Atlanta.
Mis-. Joseph Kingsberry, one
of the wcalthiest and most prom
inent of Atlanta S society leaders,
writes a letter of warning to
the young women of Atlanta" /"
pointing out the evils of what
she now terms "the latest fad in
the Gate City"
Mrs. Kingsberry allldes to
recent instances where, it is al>
legged, young society ladies have
been kissed almost openly at
social functions, and ads by
way of appeal: "Girls, what are
you thinking of? Your names
are mentioned and you are
laughed at by all who know you
and love you not.
"Old people may have kissed
when they were young" con-
cludes Mrs. Kingsberry, "but
they have no use for kissers
around their daughters. The
toe of a boot may be brought
into active exercise some sweet
day, so the warning is to you,
also, kissing young man"
This lett was published Sat-
urday, and IS all the talk in SO
cial circles

A DESPERATE TAKEN.
Negro Webb, Better Known as
Doctor Davis, Guilty of
Eameless Crimes.
WANTED In CHOW AN
COUNTY.
Was Arrested by Negroes Near
Scotland Neck and Lodged
In Halifax Jail.

Daniel Webster, colored, bet
ter known as Doctor Davis. who
is wanted in Chowan county fol-
outraging a colored girl. and fol
whom a reward had been offered
by the Governor, was caught a
few days ago near Scotland Neck
and lodged in Halifax Jail.
A dispatch from Scotland

Davis, has been a terror to the
colored people of this commu
nifty ard had been a fugi,

than a dozen years He had
been charged with abusing his

Of it. ~ color,d magistrate
named Simon Shields prepared
papers and a posse went to the
house, arrested and tied him and
carried him to the county jail.
For long time it was re-
ported that he was heavily
armed and defied arrest but in
talking freely to those whom he
thought his friends before the
arrest, he said lie had left his
Winchester rifle aud revolver,
for they too often betrayed him
into suspicion. He readily re-
counted to his supposed friends
all the reports that were against
him He is about 90 years old,
and one Colored man in descri-
bing him, said that he is "slough
footed and knock kneed, and
looked like the devil with his
red eyes" Daniel was impu
dent after he was arrested and
abused the colored people who
had him in charge. He will
probably be carried to Chowan

Can't Recover.

The Supreme Court of the
United States has affirmed de-
cision of one of the lower courts
to the effect that the "heirs of no
insured person committing sui
eide and found to be of sound
mind could recover upon his
policy. The decision was based
on the case of a man who had
largely increased his insurance
and deliberately killed himself,
leaving a letter behind saying
that his purpose was "to put an
end to his lite so that his insu
rance money could be collected
for the payment of his debts"

Remember, three things come not back
The arrow sent upon its track
1t will not swerve, it will not stay
Its speed it flies to wound or slay.
The spoken word, so soon forgot
By thee; but it has perished not:
In other hearts it's living still,
And doing work for good or i'll.
And the lost opportunity,
That cometh back no more to thee.
In vain thou weepest, in vain dost yearn,
Those three will never more return.

Rough On Rats Did the Work
and Saved Her Life.

A gentleman who is a mem
Der Of the clergy stopped at the
Virginian Office yesterday after
noon and told the representative
| of the wonderful killing of three
men in Tyrrell county, N. c.,
not far from Elizabeth City.
The gentleman said that a far
mer, whose name he did not care
to give, some time ago sold a
tarl1 and kept the money in the
house for some time. On Mon
day last he concluded to deposit
it and took it to Elizabeth City
for that purpose. Soon after he
left home three masked men
called at his home, knocked at
the door. The gentleman's wife
answered the knock. The men
forced themselves i'll and de-
manded her husbands money.
She said that there was no money
there. They called her a liar
and began beating hel to make
be-, tell. Finally she said that
her husband had gone to Elias
beth City with it. They then
demanded that she give them
supper, which she dl1 through
fear When the coffee was pour
ed out there was no sugar on the
table They told her to go and
get some. She went to the pan
try, put sugar in the dish and
pound a box of Rough Oh Rats
in it. The men took the sugar
and put it in their coffee. Aftel
little while they became sick.
The woman went over to her
neighbor to get the gentleman
and his SONS to come to her as
sistance. His wife said tLat her
husband and two sons had gone
off, but they would soon be back,
but she would go home with her.
When the two women reached
the house they found the men
struggling with pain. They re
moved the masks and, to their
great surprise found the men to
be the husband and SONS of her
neighbol. In a short while all
three died. The story is vouch-
ed tor as being positively so.
The gentlemen who were killed
are we'll known and have fre>
quently come to this city to mar.
