were fired into the Negroes body, then
PROSTATE on the ground Then a vol
ley, as if fifty shots, was fired, but most
of them were fired in the air. as if the
nerve of some of them had failed them.
The negro was apparently dead, and
the leader gave the command, Every
man to his home" and in five minutes
the MOB had melted away as the mist
OF the morning, squads going out all
of the streets, but the bulk of the
lynchers going out Cherokee and
Church streets.
Then it was that Sheriffs Bishop and
Dewberry and Marshals Hawkins and
Mcdonald went into the park and
found the negro still alive and con-
scious. DR.. Nolan was sent for and the
negro was carried back to jail, and the
doctor, upon examination, found that
there were ten bullet holes in his body,
three through the lungs, one through
the liver, several in his back and one
in his leg. A deep cash was on his
head where he had been struck with a
crowbar.
Sunday morning the negro was still
alive, but was given to understand
that he would die. He then confessed
that he was guilty of the offense charg-
ed and that no mistake had been made
as to Identification.
He made this confession to Sheriffs
Bishop, Dewberry and Anderson, DIR.
Nolan and his own father.
Thus the bungling work of the mob
gave the negro lease of life to clear
up all doubt of his guilt.
On Sunday groups of men stood on
the square discussing the mob's work
! with absorbing interest.
During the day negroes who stood
about looked sullen, and incendiary
threats had been made by negro wo-
men, it is said, as to resorting to the
torch as a retaliatory measure. In
place of condemning such british as
| saults upon white females, these ne
groes think it great outrage on one
| of their race if swift summary ven
geance is melted out by one hundred
| jurors instead of twelve.
The negro still being alive, Judge
Gober had guard of fifteen men
placed around the jail Sunday night to
prevent repetition Of the mob's work
in completing the job
The preliminary trial Saturday when
the young girl fully identified Bailey as
her assailant, and other corroborative
evidence where his shoes fitted the
tracks made and the tracks leading
from the scene of assault and where he
tried to evade wearing his own SLOUGH
hat for that of his brothers. fixed the
crime so Enthusiastically upon Bailey
that the mob took the law in their OWE
hands.
Bailey fingered until Tuesday morn
ing to about 8 20 O'Clock when he died
His body was turned ever to his pa
rents and carried to the country foi
burial
"The wages of sin is death"
This is the first lynching that has
taken place in the Blue Ridge circuit
since Judge Gober has been on the
bench, and the mob had nothing tC
fear from his action as he would have
given speedy trial.
In another column is the Governor
proclamation offering reward of $20C
for the first arrest of the lynchers anC
800 for each additional arrest.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep one cock for ten to fifteen hens.
Let the fowls fast few hours before
killing.
Hens lay best at the age of one to
two years.
Always give fowls plenty of fresh,
pure water
Hens over two years of age make the
best settlers.
Fowls must have range or a supply
of green food.
Have a portion of the hen house part
ly darkened for nests.
Sitting hens must have daily run to
insure them good health.
There is no danger Of the poultry
business being overdone because the
demand is rapidly increasing.
If scratching place is provided
where you can bury corn, your fowls
will receive much benefit from the ex-
ercise.

hour. In order to get the maximum
amount of work out of the mill in the
way of feed grinding, it is necessary to
provide large bin above the grinder,
in which the grain to be ground can be
placed, and then have this arranged
in such way that the grain feeds d.
rectly into the mill whenever the mill
isrunning. With this arrangement must
also of course be provided a bin into
which the ground meal can fall out OF
the way of the grinder. Such an ar.

BOGUS FOOD PRODUCTS.
Real Character Is Hidden by

After all, something is to be hoped
for from national and state laws.
While it is true that many laws on our
statute books are dead as to enforce
ment, or only partially enforced, yet
it is also true that some of the laws
that we supposed would be of little
effect have been enforced to the letter
and have accomplished all that could
be desired. We will instance the ma
tional law against filled cheese" 1t
was not many years ago that one could
hardly buy piece of cheese and be
sure it was wha ii claimed to be. Filled
cheese has demoralized the home mar
ket and destroyed most of the for
eign demand for cheese made in the
United States. The filled cheese law
was passed, and the result has been
the almost complete obliteration of the
industry of making filled cheese. 1t
can still be made and sold but
II cannot be sold for anything
besides what it is. What is the result?
1t IL found that no American wants
to puy the stuff, and so none is sold in
this country. Two factories in Illinois
still make filled cheese and sell it to
English firms. But even there the de-
mand is growing less. English mer.
chants last year imported 636,944
pounds, made in the United States and
Holland. 1t is made in no other coun.
try. The amount used in England las,
year was not half OF the amount used
two years before. Recently there have
been some prosecutions in the English
court on account of tradesmen having
sold filled cheese for the pure article
1t is probably true that all of this
cheese now leaving the United States
is going out fully branded under It's
own name, but it is altogether probable
that the consumer on the other side
Of the water buys it for full cream
cheese. Its decadence proves that il
and all things like it can live only sc
long as their real character is bidder
by a mask. We need therefore only
tear off the mask to destroy most o.
the imitation food products.-Farmers

MAKES DEATH PAINLESS.
The Cuban GnrrOte Is Reported to Dc
Humane Method of Execute
ing Criminals.

President Mckinley, in answer to
the request of the senate for informa-
ton as to the garroting of Porto
Rican criminals under American rule,
has sent to the upper house letter
from Military Gov. George w. Davis,
giving that high functionary's opin-
ion of the garrote as an instrument
for inflicting official death. Accord
ing to his idea, says the New York
Times, it furnishes a much easier and
less revolving method of execution
than hanging. Says he, in a letter to
President Mckinley, in answer to the
inquiry of the chief executives:
"When the present military gov
ernor came to this island for duty, he
found the local laws, unchanged re-
specting capital punishment, and when
the occasion arose to carry into effect
a sentence of the courts which re-
quired that the criminals suffer the
capital penalty, careful inquiry was
made as to what the statutes provided

ing, which is the only mode of execu-
ton known TO the island save that OF
shooting to death with muskets in
certain cases under the laws of war
81 inquired into the matter OF
mechanical details, how the iron col.
lar was applied, and the physiological
effects of the instrument. This IN
vestigation satisfied me that between
garroting and hanging the former was
less barbarous and revolving and in'
sured almost instant death to the vic
tim. The convicted criminal is seated
and dashed in a chair, in the manner
in which the victim is secured who il

the chair, and part of it, is heavy
post to which the iron collar is fixed
the latter is hinged and made to in
close the neck of the man. Through
the post, and secured to the collar
works rapidly threaded screw, by
means of which the collar is drawn t.
the rear. The screw is worked by ;
strong handle, and by n single turf
of it, occupying but the fraction of ;

pletely paralyzes the man, and dealt

at was my understanding that tn
executions were to take place in tn

the reason that the space was report

"If the occurrence was to be repeat

One of the best plans is to secure, in

amount of feed strictly in proportion
to the speed at which the mill is be-
ing driven, and which will stop empty
whenever the mill stops. With such a
