The CnrroIIton tNIissJ Lynching.

The following was sent from Jack

open and brazcn-faced defiance Of law and
the constituted authorities was never be-
fore experienced IN the state. Inc cir
cut Judge of the district, whose nome IS
~ CarrOiltOn, appealed 10 the leaders or
the mob, with tears in his eyes to let the
law take its course; the district attorney
end the judge threw their arms about
the neCks of the leaders of the mob and
tesought them to spare the lives Of the
aeSfoes, pa b their peadingss ie y IP9n
Ing was that the negroes were not even
suspected Of having committed the hOrrl-
Bile MURDER the mob was formed TO aNenge
they were suspected Of guilty knoWl-
edge and the chances are that II permit
ted L. live they would have told all they
knew. Gov, LOngino did all in his power
to stop the lynching, but it seems to have
been done largely with a view to defy
Ing the chief executive of the state, as
for any other reason. His special train
haC whistled for the Carrollton depot
Wneu the ropes were drawn taut, and the
bodies Of the miserable wretches, two
women and man, were riddled with bull
lets. The governor drove up in a hack a
few minutes later, and was informed he
had come too late He made the assem-
bled multitude speech, in which he told
them just what he thought Of lynchers,
and was cheered to the echo. He learned
That only about fifty men participated ac-
lively in the lynChing, while there were
several hundred in the little town. The
sheriff of the county did not do anything
tOWaids putting down the mob, declining
even to call for troops after the governor
hau wired him from jackson that he
could have them If needed. The governor
had no authority to call out the troops
unless the civil authorities OF the county
asked for them, and that they failed or
rather refused to do. The disgraceful af-
fair will be thoroughly investigated by
the courts, and II is believed here that
convictions will follow. The judge and
the district attorney and all other off,
Gals of the county were eye witnesses TO
the lynchings and the governor has sug-
gested that the judge and the states at
torney vacate their respective offices for
the Carroll term and have themselves put
on the witness stand. That course will
put the matter right jam up to the grand
and petit juries, and they can hardly fail
10 dc their duty.

Children Killed by snakes.

Three violent deaths occurred near

two little children,aged and years
at the house while she took her small

the children screaming, she ran to
the house to find them in the grasp OF
two monster rattlesnakes. At her ap.
proach the snakes crawled under the
house. The children died before aid

to the wash place for her only re.
naming child, only to find it had
