to limb, after which the body was
literally shot to pieces.
Miss Keith, who is about 20 years OF
age, lives with her brother on a firm
about one mile from McFarlan. Short
ly after dinner Mr.. Keith left home,
going to town, leaving his sister at tie

seizing a chair, he struck the young
woman 4 terrible blow over the head,
shattering the chair and rendering her
unconscious. After he had accom-
pi.shed his purpose the negro tried 10
cut Miss keith's throat, evidently

locked in the guard house, while a mob
Of more than 259 surrounded the build
ing. The ring leaders held a consulta-
ton and decided that Hough should be
hanged. The door Of the prison was
burst open, a rope thrown around the
negrO's neck and he was dragged and
kicked to the scene OF his crime. about

thrown over a limb and as the body

ffeavv Rainfall Reported Throughout
the State.

The past week was remarkable for
heavy rains from the 18th to 14th, and
subsequently light showers until the
close: creeks and rivers were again
very much swollen, and in some sec
tions the freshets were reported TO
have been the highest for the season;
much damage was caused by overflow
ing streams in the west and south, and
many fields were badly washed by the
heavy downpour, particularly in
FranklIng, Halifax and Nash counties.
where the total rainfall for "a hours
on the 14th varied from 10 inches.
The temperature was about 1 degrees
above the daily normal: and the hot
sunshine and high humidity during the
latter portion of the week caused a
very sultry atmosphere. and some
crops fred on sandy land or low pla-
ces. No farm work could be accomp-
lshed during the week, and grass and
weeds grow rapidly.
Cotton in some places improved
somewhat and in very fayora BILE local
tiles, with a good autumn nearly a
full crop may be made. but throughout
the larger portion of the state the crop
has not made much progress; cotton
plants are very weedy and long joint
ed on stiff lands, small on sandy land,
and generally are not forming bolls
we'll on either; blooms are still report
ed; shedding Of squares and bolls is
increasing. Old corn is practically
made; the late crop is filing out fairly
well. Fodder is ripening fast, but pull
Ing commenced during the week, but
what was gathered was damaged Ey
rain. Tobacco in the central west sec
ton has suffered from excessive rains
and weeds; curing is progressing with
texture good but yield light. Crops like
sweet potatoes and peanuts Of which
the condition can only be judged by
the appearance of the vines, are SEEM
ingly doing well, as the top growth is
very vigorous, but fears are expressed
that the frequent rains will diminish
the quality and quantity Of the yield.
TurnlpS are coming up nicely. Con-
siderable grass intended to be cut for

the apple crop will be almost a failure.
