FAILING, TO PRODUCE THAT
Mossop Thought the Law q Failure And
Sold Liquor to Whom he Pleased
Son Wanted to Take His Place
Another Dealer senten-
ced- Court Notes.

John Mossop and Elijah Johnson
came into court Wednesday morning
to receive sentence for having assisted
the thirsty at North Lawrence to wet
their whistles in violation of the town
ship law. Both had pleaded guilty at
Mondays arraignment. They were rep
resented by c. c. Bow.
Mossop was first called upon. Judge
McCarty asked him if he had anything
to say and John had.
IF it please Your Honor" said John,
"the case is just like this. When they
took the vote there they said If the peo-
pie would vote dry they would have O.
special school district organized and in
corporate North Lawrence. If they
hadn't said that the people would never
have voted against the sale Of liquor"
"Well but they did vote that way"
said the court, "and now the question is
whether you will continue to SELL If
you will promise not to sell any more
I am disposed to make the sentence as
| light as possible"
John wanted to explain still further
but the court held him to the point and
he then declared that he would sell no
more.
| Judge McCarty sentenced him to pay
$50 and costs and go to the workhouse
ten days. Mossop asked for the SEN
tence to be cut down but the court re-
fused
Elijah Johnson had sold some beer in
his barber shop, He was given the
same sentence as Mossop. Mossop i'm
mediately paid his fine and costs.
Both were taken to the workhouse
this morning.
| While the papers were being made out
Mossop's son went to Prosecutor Pom
creme and asked that he be taken to the
workhouse in his fathers place. He
said his father was not we'll and he
would rather serve the time there him
self and allow the old gentleman to
go home. The prosecutor said the law
would not permit the young man to
make the sacrifice.

Lewis the husband. Drunkenness, abuse

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of Ia grippe. Daring
the epidemic of Ia grippea few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Cham berlain' Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency of Il cold or la grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and la grippe. Every bottle war
ranted. For sale by all druggists.

AT Piney Ridge"

At Harper's Theatre Sunday, Jan.
ID, will be presented the romantic
drama entitled AT Piney Ridge, -
with the author, David Higgins, in
in the leading role of Jack Rose, the
young mountaineer, and Miss Georgia
Waldron as 'Ciudy Lane: the heroine.
This capable and artistic couple will
be supported by fine company, and
no better play has come from the pen
of an American writer during the last
three years. Without posing as a
rural play dependent on the usual bu-
collie comedy and harvesting choruses,
such as fortunately disturb us not
when we 90 to the real country, it
tells pastoral storys in a new way
that pleases and fills the auditor with
an abiding interest in the folks that
seem to he actually interested in what
they are doing and convinced of the
seriousness of the in lives. This play
is worthy for this, if nothing more. But
besides it is one of the most interest
ing dramas now before the public, and
it is doubted if four stronger acts can
be found than those making up this
southern story.

Sheridan, Mich-The MiniSt RS Wife.
One day his attention was brought
to the fact that the unsupported coffee
was very likely the cause of his trou-
BILE, and it was suggested that if he
would use Postum Food Coffee and
induce the good wife to be particular
to boil it long enough to extract the
delicious flavor and the elements which
20 TO rebuild the broken down nerve
centers, his trouble would be gone.
This was two years and half ago.
and since that time not pound of
coffee has been purchased by the min
listers family. Morning, noon and
night Postum makes its appearance
on the table, and is enjoyed by all.
With the departure of coffee went the
minister's bad feelings, and with the
coming of Postum came feeling of
eNhilaration, better appetite and 4
constantly increasing weight.
From the start the minister's Pos
tum has been properly made, because
of the warning. i
At one time during the absence of
housewife, the domestic, not being
particular about preparing Postum
according TO directions, made it weak
and Insipid, which we find is n very
common complaint among those who
do not understand that there is no wav
to extract the delicious flavor from
Postum except by long boiling. Made
properly, it is clear, black and has a
crisp, pungent, fascinating taste. De-
casiOnally the minister has been in
duced to drink a cup of coffee at we'd
dings. parties. etc, but many sleep
less hours of the night are passed in
This is a true expert

 Fifty,

Palmetto, Ga., March l7-Four dead negros lie in Johnson's ware. house. Beside than. grooming in agony, are five of their race, all vic tims of an assault made by white men of this neighborhood at ah ear ly hour yesterday morning. This little city has had two incendiary fires which have almost destroyed it since January, and the negroes, who were shot down while begging for mercy, lie where they .ell on the blood soaked floor Of the improvised jail.
 The citizens are patrolling tue main street of the town and d,spersing an occasional group of muttering ne- groes, who seem determined to get some form of revenge for the slaugh- ter of four of their race.
 The scene a6 Johnson's warehouse where the nine negroes were confin- ed, and which is now filled with the dead and dying, is a revolting and miserable one. Blood covers the floor, and blackened walls are in- dented with rifle shots. Wives and children of negroes are kneeling by their side ill the dimly-lighted room and piercing the air with cries and m0ans of anguish, Several doctors are doing what they can for the wounded
 The mob was composed of 150 men Where they came from is a mystery so far as the people of the town know. That some of the people of Palmetto, but not the better class, were in the mob, goes without say ing. Every face was masked and when the warehouse was reached the special guard of five men was covered without word. Ira min- ute the mob was in the big ware. house and the fusillade opened. The frightened negroes sent up yell after yell, begging for mercy. but it had no effect on the mob. When its work was finished the masked mob turn ed and quickly disappeared as it had come-on horseback.
