analogous to the root-making of rose

one has noted how the riotous vitality
of the vernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom up to the period OF
midsummer. Then, though the bloom

are poor and small, as though the tree
were tired of fashioning them and
fretful beneath the strain. BY and by,
as August yields to September, the
flowers, though they may be fewer.
swell to more than the glory Of spring.
They are truly royal, loose-leafed, long
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
of every virtue-size, fragrance, color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you it is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots, and Is full of the rich juices of

HIT BROOKS A HEAVY BLOW.
The Negro May Die as the Result OF
Williams Attack.

Qutman, Ga, March William Brooks
and Henry Williams two negroes became
engaged in a fight this morning which
resulted in Williams inflicting what are
thought to be fatal injuries on Brooks.
The negroes were a work cutting wood
about a mile below town when Brooks
boy committed some act which offended
Williams. The boy claims that Williams
started to whip him. At this juncture
Brooks interfered and stepped between
Henry and the boy. This seemed to en-
rage Williams all the more and he struck
Brooks a terrible blow on the forehead
crushing his skull. DR.. Gaulden attended
the negro and removed a piece of bone
about two inches long from the skull and
trephined the wound.
The chances for Brooks to recover are
very slim. He has been unconscious since
he was hurt and it is not thought that he
can possibly recover. After dealing Brooks
the heavy blow Williams started for town
to give himself up to the authorities. He
was placed in Jail to await the outcome
of Brooks wounds. Williams claims that
he acted in self-defense and that Brooks
and the boy both attacked him.
Another fight occurred to-day between
Rude Thompson and Roland Dasher,
both colored, several miles from town
Thompson struck Dasher on the head
with a large stick inflicting serious inju-
ries. The trouble arose over an old coat
which both claimed.
