FED TO THE FLAMES.
With Agonizing Screams and
Bullying Eyes a Negro Met
His Doom.

With agonizing screams and his
eyes buiging from his head John Yves.
ley Pennington, a negro, was burned
at the stake near Enterprise, Ala, be-
fore crowd of five hundred euraged
and determined citizens of Coffee coun-
ty. The assemblage was composed
of both whites and, blacks and though
the suffering wretch p.eaded for mercy
and frantically endeavored to break
the chains that tightly bound
him, not trace of sympathy was
shown on the hardened faces that
peered at him through the flames.
Pennington had committed brutal
assault upon Mrs. J. G. Davis, the wife
of one of the most prominent farmers
OF Coffee county, and confessed his
guilt.
The crime was committed while Mrs.
Davis was gathering vegetables in her
garden. She was STOPPING over pluck
ing tomatoes when Pennington slipped
up behind her and threw her 10 the
ground He choked the fear-stricken
woman into insensibility and accom-
plished his intention.
When dragged to the stake the
frightened man limped. and had to
be held up while the chains were fast
ened around his neck and body.
When all was ready the cry was given
and the crowd stood back. A match
wac applied to the pile and, with oil
to feed upon, the tiny flame soon burst
into roaring fire. The terrified
negro again plead ID for mercy in the
most agonizing tones and prayed to
God that those around him might per-
ish. He then called on the Maker for
forgiveness and as the flames leaped
up and encircled his neck an unearth-
ly shreak was heard and the man S
eyes almost bulged out of the sockets.
By this time the fire had gained such
Roadway that nothing could be seen
except wriggling motion in the CEN
ter of the circle of fire. A deathly ST.
lence enveloped the awful sight and in
a few minutes the DANES had sufficient
" subsidized to see that Pennington S
/, head had fallen forward and hung limp
over the iron chain. The body was
quickly consumed and all of Penning-
ton that remained was pile of ashes.
The crowd then quietly dispersed.

INCREASE IN PENSIONS.
1t Will Take Sl5O,O00 More i'm
Georgia Next Year.

The Atlanta Constitution says the
indications are that the pension roll
next year will be increased by some
thing like 1925, 900 to $4,000, if not
more.
Commissioner of pensions J. w.
Lindsey states that he has already
approved the applications of S5l new
INDECENT pensioners, forty-four in the
disabled class aud ten in the o,d
class of widows. This makes a total
OF 904 new applications that have been
approved.
In addition to the foregoing the pen
sion commissioner has already ap-
proved, as has been stated, the ap
plications Of 1.047 widows of the new
class provided for under the act of the
last legislature and known as INDECENT
widows. 1t will be seen, therefore,
thai there are already nearly 1000
new names to go on the pensions list.
From his past experience and the
, rate at which the applications are
coming in now Commissioner Lindsey
says that there will be at least 800 more
applications approved by October l
next, making total of about $500
new ones, in addition to those al
ready on the rolls.
The grand total will be reduced
somewhat, of course, by the death
list. Last year this was about per
cent, scr a total of about 400. Takinp
this into consideration, then, it will
| be seen that there will still be MOI e
than2, 900 new names to go on the pen
sion rolls next year
Last year there was paid out for
pensions about $696,000. With the
additions herein stated, therefore, the
pension roll next year will foot up in
the neighborhood of $3.50, 900, if it does
not fully reach that amount.
Il tie case of the class of widows,
the coming session of the legislature
will have to provide for their payment.
No adequate provision was made for it
at the time the law was passed, and
that is the reason they were not paid
this wear.

Year well by giving me bread and
milk tonight. The children will like
it, and so will their ia ther."
Mr.. Hamilton went after the chill
dren presently. As he passed a church
he saw multitude of people entering
it,
"The Old Year out-the New Year
in!" he thought.
He walked on with new purposes
forming in his mind. The New Year
should be different from the Old
there should be more time found for
the enjoyment of life. Things should
be made easier for his wife; they
would make life higher and holier. 1t
should be a New Year-a year of love
to God and love to man.
He spoke of these thoughts, that
were stirring him so strangely, that
evening. He was alone with his wife.
She listened with sympathetic inter-
est. She said little, but her few words
satisfied and cheered him.
He arose and stood by the window
when the clocks rang out the year.
Soon the worshipers in the churches
filled the streets. Something of the
solemnity of the hour passed from
them to him. He looked up into the
deep mysterious realm of starry space,
and strange new sense of companions
ship came to him. He found himself
repeating words long half-forgotten:
"If | ascend up into Heaven, Thou art
there. If l take the wings of the
morning, and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea, even there shall Thy
hand lead me. Yea, the darkness
hideth not from Thee. The Lord is
thy keeper"
Presently the sound of footsteps in
the street died away. All was still
again.
"The Old Year out! The New Year
in!" he said. "Thank God for the de-
sire to make it a better year!"
His heart was full as he turned away
from the window.
The vision of the past grieved him
sorely, but again he was comforted.
1.-The Lord is thy keeper. He that keep
eth thee will not lumber"-Zion's
Herald.

Custom Largely Due to Dutch.

The custom of celebrating New
Years day in our country is largely
due to the Dutch. Old Peter Stuyves-
ant made much of the day, and CHEEKY
assemblages were held at the govern
or's home, at New Amsterdam. The
Dutch method of kissing the women
for ga Happy New Year." was OBJ
served and toll taken of all who were
young and handsome. In fact, during
the reign of Peter Stuyvesant New Am
sterdam was the most thoroughly be-
kissed country in all Christendom, and
formed marked contrast to the staid
Puritans, who thought the observance
of this day savored strongly of rev.
erence for the god Janus, and who
made no note of their first New Years
day in the new world, save to record:
"We went to work betimes."
