pieces seemed TO be joined together by
insertions Of fine needle-Iun Chantilly
lace In a pale shade of cream color, left
transparent, so that the lining showed
prettily through the lace. The tune was
bordered along the hem with three tiny
flounces OF floral muslin, each hounce
edged with narrow lace.
This lace-trimmed tunic was met by an
accordion-pleated flounce of floral mus
lin, which again, in its turn, was trim

The upper part of the bodice consisted
of a deep yoke of transparent Chantilly
lace, with a deep collar band Of lace also
transparent, completed, of course, by the
inevitable string OF pearls. The sleeves

the more ordinary sleeves of muslin, with

PRISONERS SHOT.
Victims Had Been Arrested For
Attempts to Burn the Town.
-Four Were Killed and Five Badly
Wounded-Work of an Infuri-
ated rIob.

Palmetto, Ga, March 16.-Foui
dead negroes lie in Johnson S ware
house. Beside them, grooming il
agony, are five of their race, al
victims of an assault made by white
men OF this neighborhood at an
early hour this morning.
This little city has had two
fires, which have almost DESTROYED
1T, since January l, and the negroes
who were shot down while begging
tor mercy lie where they fell on the
the bloodsoaked floor of the impro-
vised Jail.
The dead are:
Bud Cotton.
Henry Bingham.
Tip Hutson.
I'D Brown.
Dying:
John Bigby.
Wounded: Glenn Watts, shot in
abdomen; George Taylor, wound in
in thigh; lsham Brown, shot in
body; John Jamison, arm fractured.
The mob was composed OF $50
men. Where they came from is a
mystery so far as the people of the
town know. That some of the peo-
pie OF Palmetto, but not the better
class, were in the mob goes with
out saying. Every face was
masked, and when the warehouse
was reached the special guard of
live men were covered without a
word. In a minute the mob was in
the big warehouse and the fusilade
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 men turned and quickly
disappeared as it had come--on |
horseback.
Two fires of incendIary origin |
have occurred here this year, one
on February D and the other five
days later. Fourteen business
houses in all were destroyed.
Nine negroes were arrested on
suspicion and taken to Johnson s |
warehouse to await preliminary
trial, which was to have taken
place this morning. Yesterday the
leader of the gang Bud Cotton, is
said to have made 4 written con-
fession of the guilt of himself and
associates. He was the first to die
