of timbers and minerals was made under
the supervision of Mr.. G.. Wanner, and
1T was pronounced one Of tho worry best

mills in operation and tho fruit of thoir

Made all the Negroes We'd.

Magistrate Strohreker, of Red Top, q
notorious negro settlement, near Char
lesion, gave orders last week that all
negroes living there would have to
marry. On Saturday ne announced that
the formal order would be issued, and
seventy five couples were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony in as many
minutes. Strohreker said that o man
would fight quicker for his paramour
than for his wife, and to reduce the run
of crime he decided to make everything
in petticoats q wife. Already good re-
suits havo come about. This rule was
started two years ago by Magistrate
Green, who reformed the notorious Ten
Mile Hill, and 1t is being followed roligi.
ously and Red Top bad negroes there
are disposed to make trouble on the new
order, but Strohreker is prepared to
back 1t up with artillery.

More About the Olspensary Robbery.

Details of the dispensary robbery at
Kingstree are unusual. Dispenser Player,
assisted by the town marsha, r. r.
Suits, and Mr.. Lennon, clerk of the
dispensary board, had beenlcounting up
his Christmas sales until 10 o. 'clock the
night before the robbery. Player went
to sleep in the back part of the dispen-
sary at 8 O'Clock in the morning. Suits
was awakened by Player knocking on
the door. Tho latter then told the story
of the robbery. Two masked men
knocked at the door and thrust pistols
into Players face. The other two
masked men looted the safe and grabbed
up two bags full of liquor. The four
rode off after ordering Player not to
mcvo for half an hour.
The town marshal declares that when
walked he heard the men riding aor6ss
the river bridge half q mile away. No
attempt to follow was made. This is
the fourth time within year that
Player has been robbed. This time the
entire receipts of the month of December
were swept away. 1t is said that the loss
will be between 81, 300 and $1,000. The
strange part of 1t is that Players bond
expired just ten days before the robbery,
and he cannot be held accountable for the
loss. Player hat' violated the law in not
making a weekly deposit with the
county treasurer. A dispensary inspec-
tor is now at work on the case. The
Governor tonight received information
that four men were under suspicion.

A Negro Barn Burner Lynched.

Geo. Fuller, negro barn burner, who
lived near Oak Grove, In Perry county,
Alabama, was lynched last Friday night.
Last Wednesday night the barn of Mr..
Dennis Cummings, of Oak Grove, was
burned, together with seven mules, a
number of fattening hogs and quantity
of corn and forage. Fuller had been a
tenant of Cummings for several years,
but they had recently had falling out
over the settlement of accounts between
them. Fuller threatened Cummings'
life. The morning after the fire he was
arrested and charged with having ap-
piled torch to tho barn. At his pre-
liminary trial Friday he was bound over
by the grand jury, the evidence being
conclusive of his guilt. AS he was being
taken from tho Court House to the Jail a
mob of citizons wrested him from the
officers, and, with very little ceremony,
hanged him.

Negroes Try to Lynch a Negro.

Athens, Ga, December 29.--An at
tempt was made last night to take Will
Harris out of Clarke county Jail. Harris
is charged with attempting to assault the
wife of colored school teacher named
Jones, and tho attempt to take him from
the Jail was made by members of his
own race.
Harris is a young negro, who entered
Jones' house few nights since and was
only deferred from the accomplishment
of his desires by the terrific struggle OF
the woman, who tore his clothes from
him and scratched his face in many
places.
The negroes in the community were
very much outraged, and there have
been ominous mutterings~among them
for several days. All they lacked was q
loader and little moro determination.
Last night the sheriff was called to his
door and a weIl-known negro appeared,
asking him if he could get Harris out Of
the Jail. Sheriff Weir told him he could
not, and the negro then told the sheriff
that he had behind him large crowd OF
negroes, who intended taking Harris out.
He told the sheriff that no harm would
be done him, and that after they had
overpowered him they would get Harris
out, hang him and then como back and
tell the sheriff where his prisoner was.
Sheriff Weir told the negro that the
first one who attempted to got his pris-
oner would be killed, and as many more
would be laid out as might be necessary
to protect the prisoner.
The negro leader of the mob went off
and the sheriff prepared to meet the mob
If it should como. The mob decided not
to storm the Jail and there was no fur
ther attempt made to get Harris.
There is a deep feeling among the
negroes against Harris, and he might
suffer harm at their hands If they should
get hold of him. He will be given his
committal trial Monday before Judge
Foster, and meanwhile every necessary
precaution will be taken to keep him
safe In Jail. The evidence thus far
brought out makes out strong case
against the defendant.
