siderable interest is manifested through
out Georgia regarding the request made
by Mrs. Ella Hall, of Berrien county, to
the sheriff that she be permitted to
spring the trap at the execution of Bosey
BRYANT the murderer of her father.
Public opinion is greatly divided and the
governor may be asked tointerfere. Mrs.
Hall, when seen, frankly admitted that
it is both her wish and intention to
spring the death trap of Bryant, and not
only hat bit also to cut down his body
when life shall have become extinct.

'No," was her reply. al am as tender
hearted about other things as most wo-
men are, but in this case it is different.

and want to kill HIM" Mrs. Hall
said that when her father died she was
unconscious from worry and grief, or she
would have insisted that her fathers
friends lynch Pryant then and there.
She has no doubt, she said, that if she
had made the request itwOuld have been
carried

suit of their bitter rivalry for the hand

ing a bullet through the head. Alice
Walker is a cousin of the young man
who fired the fatal shot Both young

ON choice between them. They lived on
adjoining farms and until recently had
been fast friends. Walker and Adams
had recently quarreled and separated,
each vowing to kill the other on meet
ing again. The young lady did all she
could TO heal the breach. butto no avail.
Yesterday afternoon the young men met
on the highway and Immediately opened
fire at a distance of 200 feet. Walker
took refuge behind a bale Of hay, and
when his antagonist continued to APP
proach took steady aim and fred, the
bullet striking Adams in the head, re-
sulting in almost instant death. Walker
at once fled to the neighboring noun

The coal strike, with all the ex-

another illustration Of the general

something amusing even in their
own Inconvenience.

AS an example OF insurance that

action of the Brotherhood OF
American Yeomen, who have a
local homestead in our city.
DIR. H. A. Armstrong. who was
a member of this order, died on
September 10th last. On October
4th following. the proofs Of death
were forwarded by the local cor
respondent. or secretary Of the
Homestead. On October nth a
check was received for the full
amount due, and placed in the
hands of the beneficiary. All this
with absolutely no hitch or inter.
ruption. no questions asked. nor

ficiary was not required to SO much
as sign a document OF any kind
previous to receipt OF check.
