NEGRO LYNCHED
 AT COLUMBUS, GA.
Heavy Trace Chain Used Instead
 of Regulation Rope.
THE BODY CANNOT BE FOUND
Opinion is That the Lynchers Cast the Body Into the Chatta-
 hoochee River

Columbus, Ga., June 9.-(Special) )-Early this morning Simon Adams, negro about 20 years of age, was ynched in the Clapp factory woods in the outskirts of this city.
 About o'clock this morning Adams was found in the bedroom of the two daughters of MT. E. II. Almond, who lives about ten miles above the city.
 He had climbed up over the shed of the porch and was trying to get into the bed with MT. Almonds two daughters, aged 10 and F years. Their screams aroused their father, who was sleeping down stairs, and in the meantime they fled down to their fathers room, telling him some one was
 in the room.
 Mr. Almond went up and found Adams
 in closet in the girls room.
 He arrested him and put him in con veyance, and in charge of driver and
 started him off to Columbus to be turned
 over to the authorities.
 At some point outside the city a mob overpowered the driver and Adams was car
 ried westward for few miles and hanged to tree By chain and his body riddled with bullets
 is supposed that the lynchers threw it into the river. The watchman at North High lands Casino heard the shots, but parties who went in that direction could not find | the body.
 MT. Almond placed the negro under ar
 rest and locking a heavy trace chain around
 his neck, started him off about o'clock
 this morning in a one-horse wagon in charge of a good driver for Columbus to be turned over to the officers. At some point near the city mob over powered the driver and carried Adams ! cnr11.a Trrh hnr fha rit i,, la Clapp factory woods. It Is said he was
 hanged to tree by the trace chain which
 was already around his neck, and his body was literally shot to pieces. Body Has Not Been Found His body has not yet been found, and it
 is supposed that the lyncE5rs cast it into the river.
 Columbus, Ga., June 9.-The body of | Simon Adams, cofored, who was lynched in l the woods just above the city this morn | ing, has not yet been found, although many searching parties have secured every foot of the country around. Wild rumors to al-
 most any effect are rife, but the general
 opinion is that the lynchers cast his body l in the river. One party traced the lynch CTS with their one horse wagon, in which
 the negro was chained, to the river bank not far from the North Hinghlands casino, and evidence of boat having been cut
 loose caused them to cross over to an island
 where they found quite a number of empty shells from shot guns and rifles. I hey also found fwhat they thought to be the place of execution marked by gun shot and balls in the trees, and it is supposed that the body vas cast into the swift running water All efforts to learn anything of the affair are futile except the fact that the negro was 1ynched, and what he was lynched for. He was taken from an officer who was on his way to this city with him.

The Cleveland Leader joins with
Senator Hanna in declaring that there
are no trusts in the United States. The
Leader Is old enough to know better,
but it has to do something to soften the
consequences of Marks latest blunder.
1t doesn't require a very long memory
to recall the time when the Lader, less
than six months ago, was calling upon
its partys generals to put something
in the platform against trusts as a
means of offsetting the opposition of
the Democratic party to the trusts.
If there were no trusts there could be
no Hanna nor Republican party, for
as now constituted, neither could sur
vive as a political factor without the
trusts.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In Its earliest stages catarrh Is more
of nuisance than a menace to the
general health, but sooner or later, the
disease extends to the throat, bron,
chial tubes and even to the stomach
and intestines.
Catarrh Is essentially disease Of the
mucous membrane, the local symp-
toms being a profuse discharge of mu-
Gus, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation
In throat causing coughing, sneezing,
gagging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
Tho usual treatment by local douch.
es, snuffs, saves, etc. often gives tenn
poraly relief, but anything like "A cure
can only be obtained by treatment
Whlch removes the catarrhal taint
from the blood and the disappearance
OF the inflammation from the mucous
surfaces.
new remedy which meets these
requirements and which so far has
been remarkably successful In curing
catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called IA secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed of such
valuable remedies as Sanguinaria,
Hydrastin, Eucalyptol and similar
cleansing antlseptics, which cure by
eliminating from the blood and mucous
surfaces the catarrhal poison.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken in
ternally, allowing them to dissolve
slowly in the mouth, in this way they
reach the throat fauces and the en-
tire allmentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dis
solved in water and used as n douche,
In addition to the internal use, but II
is not at all necessary to use douche;
n few of them dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. However,
when there is much stoppage of the
nose, II douche made from these tab
lets vii give immediate relief, but he
regular daily use internally OF these
tablets will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the incou-
venience OF Il douche.
DR.. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan OF douching,
and local application and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
as no secret Is made OF their compost
tion and all the really efficient RENE
dies for catarrh are contained In this
tablet"

which was realized In the promuIga.
ton of the most sublime document the
world has eyer seen,-the "Declara-
ton Of Independence" in which the
trainers took the advanced position
that, "all men are created free and
equal" that forever in this Republic
the government should receive it's
just powers from the consent of the
governed"
These two fundamental principles
have ever made the work of the fran.
ers Of this declaration immortal,
through all the severe ordeals this
nation has passed in over a century
of existence and growth. Do we
who have succeeded to all the fruits
Of their vintage fully realize what an
heritage has been handed down to
us in the dawning of this twen-
tleth century? l fear that the
average citizen is too apt to be content
to let that which cost so much Of pat
riotlsm, SO much of bloodshed, and
the lives of SO many of the best men
Of our nation slowly but surely vanish
from the face of the earth.
Men and Democrats, God forbid that
this nation Of American patriots should
so far forget its obligations to those
who have made 1t possible for us to
enjoy the blessings of the most liberal
government of men, that ever emanat.
ed from the brain of mortal man. No,
never, will this nation Of freemen,
when aroused to the threatened dan
ger that at this time confronts them,
remain passive. With all the energy
and enthusiasm that men are capable
of they will bend to the task which
this year must be settled and settled
right. Can the American nation live,
half Republic and half Empirey
Never. We must demonstrate that we
intend to remain united Republic for.
ever.
The millions of men who have made
this land their adopted home, who
come to lis because ours was land
of liberty, where they would not be
oppressed as they were in their lands,
should remember that eternal yigI,
lance Is the price of liberty, even In
our own beloved land at this very mo-
ment. While many important issues
enter into the campaign now upon us,
any of which is sufficient to wage a
fierce contest upon, they all pale into
insignihcancc when we are confronted
by an issue which strikes at'the very
vitals of our Republican form Of gov
ernment

carefully followed the trend of events
during the present Administration of
affairs in this nation, can successful,
ly controvert the fact that we are
drifting dangerously near the rock of
imperialism. Must the ship of state be
wrecked on this rock, or will her course
be changed in time to avert sure and
certain disaster? My faith in the
common people, of whom the Immor.
tai Lincoln said "God must have
liked them, or else he would not have
made so many of them," is implicit.
They can be relied upon to ratfy the
Constitution and Declaration of Inde-
pendence every time. ,
Has the spirit of our Constitution
ever been so fagrantly violated by a
man elevated to the highest Office in
our gift, as by the man who is now
occupying it? Never in our past glor-
ious history, and we sincerely hope it
never will be again in the future. The
time in our national life has arrived
when we must elect to all offices, and
especially to that of President of the
United states, men of sterling worth
and integrity, men Of convictions,
who. knowing what is right for the
welfare of all the people, dare to do
the right, at all times,and under all
circumstances. Although such men
are rare, we have them even in this
generation today.
We have a right therefore, to con
gratulate American Democracy, In
this year of 1900, for within her ranks
she contains the greatest statesman
that our Republic has produced in
recent times, whose fearless advocacy
of the rights of all the people has en-
deared him to every liberty-lovlng cit
izen and has made him our standard
bearer again in this campaign.
Democrats, from this time forth, 1t
| is our imperative duty to labor unceas-
ingly with but one object in view,
and that is, that William Jennings

mon people, shall be triumphantly
elected President Of a redeemed ma

Dear Sir-Please allow me space
in your paper to call the lovers of
education and free schools atten-
ton to organizing school district

Progress is the law of humanity.
The law of the "Surviyal of the

and resistless energy; he who will
not advance is swept away by the

of today is made obsolete by the
discovery OF tomorrow.
We have seen our public school
grow frSm an ordinary district
school to the second school in Idaho
county. We now have the requi-
site number of children of school
age and a sufficient amount Of TAX
able property to entitls US to an in
dependent district, and the ad.
vantages to he derived from such
an organization will more than
compensate us for the effort.

PINGREE'S AWAKENING

The tide is setting in towards the
constitution. The reaction from inn
perialism has begun, 1t is noticea-
bic in every eastern state Its gain
ing strength in every American city.
Governor Pingree, the Republican
executive Of Michigan, speaks for
tens of thousands Of his countrymen
when he saysI Il believe that the
hope of the people is in the Demos
cratic party this fall"
In reference to the growing evil
of trusts, the governor says further;
There is no use in hoping that
the Republican party will do any
thing with then.n
These statements have a peculiar
significadce coming from a republr
can like governor Pingree, who has
stood a sort of connecting link be.
tween the masses and his party,
which is hopelessly entangled with
plutocracy these days. No Repub-
lican is closer to the people. He
knows their needs and wishes. He
feels their wrongs and has been a
unique figure in American politics,
battling for their rights although
wearingthe uniform of their oppres
sors.
Governor pingree's conclusions are
those of many conscientious mem
bers of the Republican party all
over the country, hut few will care
TO come out as he has done and say
so. They know the vials Of wrath
Hanna'a press is ready to pour up
on their heads.
But their votes and their in
f1uenee will be felt by the Ohio king
maker on election day.
