Augusta, Ga, October 25.--
Edgefeld has again taken tho law
into her own hands. Two negro
men lost their lives tonight as the
sequel to the horrible assassination
OF Mrs. Alice Atkinson. A third
will no doubt be among the dead by
morning. If alive, the escape of
the third was miraculous.
Luther Sullivan, black as the
ace of spades, and jim Mackey,
bright unto kinship to Indian, were
shot and killed within cay rifle
range OF the scene of the assnssina-
ton, and almost under the shadow
OF Republican Church, wi ore the
inquest was held. 1t was sad bat
most dramatic day. 1t showed,
first, lack of confidence in tho exe-
cution OF the laws, and secondly, a
grim determination to set al exam
pie to all guilty of assassination, e.
pecially of an Innocent woman.
No wonder there was indignation
in the community. Tonight u week
ago Joe Atkinson, plain and hon.
est farmer, was on his way homo
with his wife. Tho woman. wearied
with her trip, had pillowed her head
on her husbands breast, wlen sud
denly from the bushes caue the
murderer, who, without word Of
warning, fred and instantl, killed
Mrs. Atkinson. The evidence to-
day showed that Mrs. Atkinson left

nine months old All the testimony
showed that there was not u harsh
feeling against either, except that.

LESSON IN BOILING,

Satisfactory Cooking Depends Largely or
This Trivial Process.
Sallie Joy White lays down these
valuable rules for boiling in Cookery
For Girls in The Woman's Home
Companion:
'For all green vegetables use soft
water, sailed and freshly boiling. Cook
rapidly until soft. The time will depend
upon the age or the freshness of the veg
etable.
with green peas, sbelled beans,
green corn, asparagus, celery and spin
ach use as little water as possible, and
let it boil away, leaving just enough to
moisten, and thus save all the desirable
soluble matter that may have been
drawn out. Cook cabbage and cauli-
flower uncovered, in large kettle of
rapidly boiling water, sailed and with
"a saltspoonful of soda in it; onions,
scaid and change the water twice. All
Others cook in water enough to cover,
and drain it off after cooking. Green
summer squash, cabbage and other wa
terry vegetables should be pressed in q
cloth or strainer and we'll drained.
''Many people who attempt to cook
are apt to forget that there is a wide
distinction between boiled water and
boiling water, and that the freshness
is lost by long boiling, SO that the SOON
-er water is used after it has reached
the boiling point the more satisfactory
the cooking will be. If water stands
after boiling, it loses it's vitality and
cannot be used with good results. That
rs why tea and coffee are SO frequently
fiat and lifeless, without sparkle or
flavor; not because the leaves and ber-
ries are not good, but because they are
improperly made with boiled water
instead of freshly boiling water. -

NULCANIzED RUBBER.
How Uh.raes Goodyear Made the Original
Discovery.

no" Onn6n0S Goodyear Made the Original
Discovery.
ut is bitterly cold night about the
year 1910. Around the cracked, unpol-
1shed kitchen stove of one of Boston s
humblest homes are huddled man, his
wife and family. The surroundings are
of the Eplainest possible. Of furniture
there is scarcely a piece that would
bring anything at a pawnshop, but of
evidence OF squalor and want there is
abundance. Part of the two remaining
chairs has just been broken up to keep
che fire from dying out, and as the
flames crackle with renewed life the
man picks from the floor dark looking
substance and gazes at ir with longing
that is pathetic. He holds it up and
studies it with many sigh that cuts
the heart of his faithful wife and his
loyal children. In changing this sub
stance from one hand to the other it
drops upon the hot stove. There is a
sudden filling of the room with pun
gent, offensive odor before She man,
with a startled Cry, can snatch the now
half scorched substance from the stove.
But there is a marked change ON the
mans face as he examines the burned
spots. He feels the Substance with a
new and intense interest. Is he near the
end of years of labor, suffering and dis
appointment? Thanks to the cold out
side, it will not take long to decide
The burned substance is hung outside
the door. In an hour the cold has not
affected it. In two hours it still retains
the properties most desired. In the
morning no change has taken place. A
great discovery is complete. Charles
Goodyear has found the process of max
ing vulcanized rubber.
Here, then, was Goodyear, after years
of varying hopes and unvarying i'll for.

destined to place his name in the high
est niche of fame But this knowledge
did not bring him immediate fortune
in fact, this he never secured. He bad
lost the confidence of all who had help
ed him, and for two years his sufferings
surpassed even those of the years of ex-
perimenting. At this time he moved to
New York, and it was said of him, eff
you meet a man who has on an india
rubber coat, cap, stock, vest and Shoes
with an india rubber purse, without a
cent in it, that is Goodyear. He had
to pawn all his furniture for food, and
ne pledged an umbrella with Vanderbilt
to secure few ferry tickets to the city.
At last enough money was secured to
put his invention on the market, and
Goodyear's process very soon made the
manufacture of rubber goods one Of the
principal industries Of the world. But
although others made immense fortunes
out of vulcanized rubber the inventor
got little share of it. He went to Eng
Hand and France exhibiting his products.
He was awarded the great council
medal at the exhibition of all nations
at London in 1851, the grand medal of
honor to the worlds exhibition at Paris
in 1885, and was presented with the
cross of the Legion of Honor by Napo-
leon III. Yet with all these honors he
