 He was handed over to a mob which had formed. A rope was placed around his neck and the crowd began moving. An opening was made and through the lines the negro was dragged and everybody hit him and a run was made for tree Finally the crowd halted at the Iron Mountain crossing and the rope was thrown over a limb of tree which stood within few feet of where Ed Coy was burned for like offense few years ago. He was then jerked into the air, the rope tied and as the body swung in the air, he was riddled with bullets.
 The crowds increased every minute and an Iron Mountain train was held an hour as the crowd refused to get off the track.

NEGRO BRUTE
 BURNED AT STAKE William Street Outraged a Wo- man and His Life Paid
 the Penalty.

Shreveport, La, June 3.-A thousand peo- pie gathered at Doylne, which is situated on the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad about eighteen miles from here, to witness the burning at the stake of Wm. Street, negro, who attempted the ruin and murder of Mrs. Parish, on the night of May 30.
 The people created post near the rafl- road track near the town, quietly laid the light wood and kindling. saturated it with coal oil, preparatory to chaining Street to the post. Street Is a gingerbread colored negro of about 2S years. He confessed the crime to colored minister, but said negro minister named John Rhodes was implicated. When going to the stake he looked frightened and refused to have any, thing to say. He was tied to the stake and uttered not a ward as the great cracking. flames shot up in succession above his head. The flames were started at o'clock.
 It was a sickening sight which lasted ten minutes, when Street was charred mass. We'll known lawyers made speeches, warn- ing the crowd of negroes that such crimes would not be tolerated in a civilized com munity.
 The woman whom Street assaulted is in a most critical condition and could not identify Street when caught until doctor held open her eye lids

Of the Philomathic Society at Howard College

Last night in Howard college chapel the Hhilomat1ic Literary society held it's final meeting for the session of 1S97-9S, in the presence of a large audience. The stage was beautifully decorated. Prominnt among the outgoing members of the Philo- mathio society was to be seen the only young lady of the college, who Is a staunch member of this society. and whose presence among those upon the stage lent quite a pleasant and delicate relief to the mascu- line appearance of the occasion.
 After a well rendered march by the Misses Mutt and Palmer, of East Lake, and prayer by Rev. MT. Hawkins the pro- gram of the evening was rendered as fol- lows:
 L. D. Hawkins, "The Polish Boy"

 H. B. Woodward, Southern Chivalry."
 H. H. Connor, Cuban Refugee"
 R. L. Shugart, Asleep at the Switch"

TO ENDORSE THE
 POPULIST TICKET Representative Aldrich Is Said to
 Favor this Plan FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY A Hot Fight Will Be Made on It in the Con vention Next Tuesday-Contest
 Between Moseey and
 Fitzpatrick.

It was said about the streets yesterday that a movement was on foot to have the republican state convention which meets in Montgomery next Tuesday endorse the populist state ticket.
 Representative W. F. Aldrich was here yesterday, having just come down from Washington He and the populist- candidate G. B. Deans had a conference yesterday and it was said that MT. Aldrich favors the plan of the republican convention er,- dorsing the popuist ticket.
 There Is, however much opposition to this proposition from other republicans They say it will be meat for Aldficn, lnak- ing him so much stronger .n h's congress siona1 dIstrice to have the votes of both republicans and populists, but 1t would be ruinous to republican organization in the state.
 There will probably be bot fight over the proposition in the republican conven- ton.
 pr. R. A Moseley, of this city and F. J. Kilpatrick of Bridgep) )rt, are the present candidates for the rep lblica1 nonnation for governor. pr. Mose'ey speaks very confidently of his nomnation and says that he has already pledged to him mere than half of the 200 votes i'll the convention. There were at one time four candidates for this honor, but two of them have with drawn: Colonel Charles Lane, of Hunts vile, and Dr.. J. H. Henry, of Montgom- cry.
 Republican politics are always yelled in mystery, more or less, but from all that can be learned the following seem to be the most prominent candidates for the other offices:
 M. F. Barker. Cullman, attorney-general.
 John T. Ezzell, Franklin, auditor
 J. T.. Blakemore, DeKalb, superinten- dent of education.
 John Long, Walker, treasurer.
 A. E. Stratton, Troy, secretary of state.
 On Monday the state executive commit tee will meet in Montgomery to transact routine business. The convention, which meets the next day, will, in all probability, it is said, re-elect William Vaughan, of this city, chairman of the executive com mittee as he has no opposition.

EXPANSIVE AMERICA.

Judge Grosscup of the United States
district court, has written very peril
nently upon Little America" VS..
Expansive America" He says the
policy of Little America" would
plant the harbors with torpedoes and
mines and place the warships at the
entrances and then stop. Trade might
go on, but there would be no succor
from the home country and there
would be no more home ports to run
to for safety across the ocean. 1t
would be the policy of the mud-turtle.
On the other hand, Expansive Anne
RIGA would put in every port of the
world a consulate on a front street,
with the Stars and Stripes floating
over it. The existence of the Repub-
lie would be constantly before every
nation of the earth. More, says the
judge, there must be home ports, for
titled to protect the merchant marine,
at a moments notice, and to be a
point of safety for the United States
men of war when they need rest or
coal.
The judge sums the matter up in
a few words. He says: "At any rate,
the period of possession through the
price of blood and victory is the time
to formulate our purpose. Another OPP
portunity will never come" One dis
agrees from the judge as to 1.-The OPP
portunity will never come" 1t may
never come, but it is likely to come.
But with nations as with individuals,
"There is a tide in the affairs of men
which taken at the flood leads on to
fortune" That time has come for
the United States.
