formed mob and made an assault on
the Jail at noon. They battered down
the outside door despite the warning
of the sheriff and entered the building.
Their demand on the sheriff for the
key to the negro's cell met with re.
fusal and a warning to halt or they
would be fired on. AS they advanced
down the corridor towards the sheriff
the order was given to fire. Bennett
fell, dying instantly. Thomas Word,
father of Williams victim, who was n
front OF the mob was badly shot, as
was also an unknown country man
The unexpected fight of the sheriff
and his little posse frightened the mob
and they retreated outside the jail,
where they divided into little groups
and discussed the event. Sheriff Mer.
ril consulted with Judge Harris Of
county court and Governor Gambler
was asked for aid During the after
noon the mob telephoned the situation
to friends in adjoining towns of Villa
Rica and Temple and made an appeal
for more men to get possession Of The
negro. The governor soon wired
proclamation to the people of the
county which was read from the steps
OF the court house by the mayor The
governor commanded the people to dis
perse and said the entire military and
civil forces of the state would be used
TO enforce order if necessary. This
apparently had good effect as many

AUTOS IN WAR.
How They Compare With Horse
TRANSPORTATION.

transportation.
THE automobile affords the most
comfortable means, as yet devised,
for following army manoeuvers.
In France experiments have
been carried on for the last three
years with the Scotte automobile,
steam wagon of twenty-seven horse
power, weighing only six thousand
pounds, which can carry four thou
sand pounds and draw another load of
twelve thousand pounds at rate Of
five miles an hour. One of these
wagons has gone thirty miles an hour
under a full load without putting on
water or coal Twenty-four of these
wagons can supply an army corps OF
thirty thousand men with two hun
dred rounds of ammunition per man,
over distance Of eighty miles in inch
guns with sixty rounds each, over a
distance of ten miles; or transport
twenty-four six-inch guns over a dis.
lance of seventy miles in the same
time. Take the case Of an entrenched
camp for an army q a hundred and
fifty thousand men. assuming that the
distance over which material and
stores have TO be transported Is five
miles. and that thirty days are avail
able for the work Win wagon
transportation the round trip could
be made twice a day Consequently
over thirty hundred horses would be
required TO transport in the given
time the necessary artillery material
and supplies Of proyisions-say about
four million pounds. In the mean
time, these horses would require for
their support an immense amount of
forage, which wound otherwise be
stored for possible siege ase. To re-
place these horses by automobiles
would require some thirtv-four ma.
chimes OF twenty-five h0rse-poWe An
important factor is that the automo-
bile can transport each load twice as
fast as horses can, and could also be
utilized more hours OF the day for
work. Moreover with two reliefs,
the thirJy-four automobiles would re-
quire only sixtyeight drivers. where
as the wagons must be manned by six
hundred and fifty men.
Running on a temporary track of
rails, such high horsepower automo-
biles could carry the heaviest siege
guns on grade Of one nd thirty at
the rate OF seven miles an hour BY
means OF twenty such automobiles,
three hundred guns could be brought
in position around an entrenchei
camp in twenty hours ''-Edward En-.
erson, Jr, in Ainslee's.

Owing to the operations OF the en-
ployers' liability acts. men on the
shady side OF forty cannot get work,
especially If the hair shows signs OF
turning gray. Ii Is a melancholy sight
to see in our warehouses so many

seems at first sight humane; but if
We consider the question more closely,
We sce the error in the principle of
of the blots on the administration
previous to 1884, and which enabled
the INSCRIPTIONS employer to get his
labor cheap, and at the public expense.
Make the workhouse attractive, and
not only do you remove some of the
incentives to industry, but you keep
back the tide of reform, hiding the
very evils which make it necessity
OF our social system.
There must be some reason why

cities. Why not face the evils in
stead Of attempting to bury them in
new dietary tables or extra priv.
leges' for aged people? BY the very
machinery of local government the

velopment, to other applicants, to

the cost Of the new dietaries, the UNI
fortunate taxpayer is in for a rosy
time and all in the name of humanity,
when, in fact, the refusal of "a Tory
minister to keep his pledges is the
bottom cause. | may mention that
in Liverpool alone the cost OF giving
one extra meat dinner to the inmates
will cost over $4,000 per annum; and
if the other regulations are TO be in
sisted upon, which is most likely,
many hundreds of thousands of pounds
must be expended. With the debt of
the local bodies intrusted with adj
ministrative powers at G2T0,000 900,
and local taxation at the highwater
mark, this does not look encouraging
for the purse-bearer.
