DEAR JOE ARGUs:-I had in-
tended not getting out any weather
report this Spring, but to just
wait and see what kind of weather
we would have, but the impression
is very strong among the people
that McKinley's Weather Bureau
man IS in the pay of the coal
trust. and as it seems like we are
bound to be at the mercy of some
trust, and soif we are, it may be we'll
enough to change around from
one to another, and as the coal fell
lows have had their pull let's give
the ice men a chance now, and
throw ourselves in the hands of
Worth & Co. So get ready now
for warmer weather.
Was just getting ready to write it,
When the last snow began to fall
But knew that frozen poem
Would just not do at all.
l knew that when thawed, like Eagan's beef,
1t would be to throw away,
And that would have been too expensive,
At the price you have to pay.
We have had long, cold winter,
With cy yclones, rain and snow;
1t has taken big lot of bitters,
And my jug has run mighty low
With small pox, and free vaccination,
Just spreading and raging along,
Had to work to keep off an epidemic,
And bltters had to be taken strong
I've waded the snow and swan the flood,
Like regular snow-plow and ship;
Have suffered with cholera infantumr
And neuralgia, duns and grip,
1 am not complaining of the weather.
just take it straight as it comes
If it kills all the apples and peaches,
It may leave us huckleberries and plums.
When bed bugs get to roaming around.
And the sugar bowl is raided by ants,
And the days get so hot you feel like
You don't need your inside pants;
When your flannel stings you like blazes,
And to be still is beyond your control
And you feel like you'd give your last dollar
To scratch your back 'gainst a telephone pole
Then winter will be ready to leave US,
And Spring will come right along.
You will then hear the night owl hooting
And be charmed by the mocking birds song,
The flowers will then go to blooming;
The honeysuckle jassamine and rose;
You can then safely take off your fanuels--
Go to Joseph's Wells and Hurtt's for sum
mer clothes
Yours truly,

LAKE CITY LYNCHING TRIAL
Mistrial-Jury Discharg d
Judge BraWley Delive ed
an Impressive Address
f0 tho Turor,
to the Jurors

Charleston, S. c., April 22.-
At 2O:45 O'Clock this morning, the
jury in the cese of tho Lake City
lynching reported it's inability to
reach verdict. The jury was oHt
twenty-five hours.
In dismissing the jury Judge
Brawley was again moved to tears
as he referred to the crime. The
case goes over to the next term of
court for retrial.
It is understood that she jury
stood five for conviction and seven
for acqaittal, when the last effort
was made to reach a verdict. When
the first ballot was taken the juorrs
were evenly divided. Later, they
stood seven to fire for conviction
and then two men changed for the
side of the prisoners.
Judge BraWley delivered an i'm
Lressive address 10 the jurors after
hearing their announcement. Dur
ing the course of it be criticised
lynehipgs most severely. He said
the officials who appointed Baker
postmaster could not escape share
of the responsibility for the fear
ful crime that had been com united.
Continuing, he commented upon
the increase in Instances Of mob
violence that had become conspi~
cuous during the last few years
and he urged upon the jurors to
go to their homes and to impress
upon the people of South Caro-
lima the necessity of putting p.
stop to the terrible crimes such as
that committed at Lake City. The
white people of the State, he said,
now had the control Of affairs ab
solutely in their hands, and cen
tinued instances CT mob law would
be an everlasting reproach to
them.
The prisoners were notified that
they would all have to give new
bonds and that the case against
them had been placed on docket
for trial at the next term of the
United States Circuit Court.
