A NEW STUDY COURSE.


The home study course which ap-
pears in two column articles every
other day in the T.-R. will take up a
series of twelve numbers on Mature
Studies for Young and Old. by Allen
Walton, A. NJ, of the Blaine Memoir
ial School This is not an argument
for the study of nature but describes
the actual work in the study of AMI
NAL and plant life and being profusely
illustrated will prove very interesting to
every reader who will follow 1t. Such
men as Seton Thompson have made the
study of animals most fascinating
fad. Professor Walton treats of the
animals in much the same way, but
includes the whole field of nature. the
bees and birds of the air, the common
plants and flowers and the well known
animals and insects.
The course Will appear complete dur
ing the next month in twelve chapters
as follows
1. What We Mean by Nature Study.
9. Grading the Babies.
8. Tending the Baby.
4. Natures Home Building.
5. Natures housekeeping.
6. Natures Marketing.
z. Natures Money.
s. Cooperation IN Nature.
9. Natures Foresight.
10. Sleep in Nature.
IL. Craft in Nature.
IL. Sympathy in Nature.
These study courses are somewhat OF
a departure in daily journalism, but in
a large eight column paper like the
T.-R. ought to furnish a pleasing di-
version to the mass of news matter
given every day. The wives and sons
and daughters of the busy men who
take the T.-R. can find most excellent
reading in these courses. and the busy
man himself would be surprised to
learn how much enjoyment he could
derive from their reading. The first
number of the next course will appear
in the next issue of the T.-R.

Within the last two weeks, however,

accused OF lynching Avery Mills has
failed and the pardon of the Mills woman
was strongly urged upon the Governor.
Judge Robinson's and Solicitor Webb's let

and it was on these that the pardon was
granted.
Judge Robinsons letter to the Gov
ernor touching this case is as follows:

to the minimum term of two years in

RANEY MILLS PARDONED.
Wife of the Negro Who Was Lynched Last
August in Rutherford Co.

The Governor yesterday issued par
don for Raney Mills, a negro woman liv-
ing in Rutherford county. She was re-
Gently convicted in Cleveland county of
murder in the second degree and sen
tenced to two years in the penitentiary.
She has never been brought to the pen
itentiary to begin serving her sentence,
however, as it was expected that she
would be pardoned, and the history of her
case is interesting.
On August 28th, 1900, near Forest City
in Rutherford county, a negro named
Avery Mills shot and killed a we'll do
white man, Mills H. Flack. Otho, son
of the dead man had assisted his father
in the fight throwing rocks at the negro
and finally shooting him and then beat
ing him with the gun. At this point the
negro's wife, Raney Mills, brought him his
pistol and he shot and killed the elder

having instigated the quarrel that re-
suited in the tragedy.
The country, already aroused by hot
political contest, was enraged by the kill
ing and some of it's attending circum-
stances. mob quickly gathered, over
took the officers on their way to Ruther
est tree. Among the members of this
mob were many of the best men in the
county, it is said.
In the meantime, Raney Mills, the wife
of the lynched man, was incarcerated in
Jail and a few days before the Novem-
Der court a child was born to her. Her
trial was moved to Cleveland and she
and the young babe were placed in Shelby
Jail TO remain until the spring term OF
court. Following this order by Judge Shaw
was an effort on his part to have the
lynchers indicted. The grand jury failed
to find true bill. Judge Shaw issued
bench warrants for all the persons sup
posed to be connected with the lynching,
but they. were not served. If they had
been served the parties charged with this
crime would have been forced to Ian
guish in jail until court, lynching being
murder and not case where bonds could
be taken.
Bills sent to the grand jury against
those charged with the lynching had been
ignored, and a true bill found against
the woman. When her case came to
trial she was convicted Judge Robin
son sentenced her to two years in the
penitentiary, the shortest term possible
and stated that he would implore the
Governor to pardon her and thought he
would do it. He stated that he did not
