Macon, Miss, Oct. 11-Gus Bush
paid the penalty OF his crime on the
scaffold here yesterday in the pres
enoe Of about 1900 people The trap
was sprung by the proper officer,
and, after few minutes time the
condemned man was pronounced dead
by the county physician. The large
crowd was orderly. nd here was
nothing to indicate any feeling other
than that the law of the land was
being properly carried out, and that
it was the will of all present that it
should be done.
Last November Gus Bush, who
was living near the village of Brooks
Vile, came into possession of point
er dog belonging to Ernest Dismukes,
who lived in the county of Lowndes,
near Artesia. Dismukes sent the
negro word to return his dog, butt
the negro said he would not do so.
Dismukes thereupon made nout a.
warrant against the negro and being
an officer, went in the company OF
young Mr.. Cook, of Crawford, to ar
rest him. The nergo, having BEEN
appprised of the warrant. and that
Dismukes was coming to arrest him,
armed himself, and when Dismukea
reached to his. coat pocket to draw
the arrant to serve it the negroV
shot him with double load of shot
at distance of not more than ten
feet, causing instant death. Young
Cook, who was with him. had no
defensive weapons, was forced to flee
for his life, as the negro made for
him Immediately after numbering
young Dismukes. Cook fed to the
village of Brooksyille ana alarmed
the citizens. They organized scout
ing parties and chased the negro for
three or four weeks, finally losing
him in Alabama, whittier he made
his escape. Later he was located in
the coal mines in that Estate, and
while he was being captured was
shot, and it was on that account he
was not brought to trial sooner. He
was held in Meridian during the ne.
riod of his convalescence, and it was
upon the promise of Judge Hall that,
if necessary, he would call special
term of court in order that the ac-
cusedsmight get speedy Justice by le.
gal process, that he was not mobbed.
But not until last August was he
able to be tried. and it was at that
term Of court that he was convicted
and sentenced to execution yesterday.
The last legal hanging that took
place in this county was in 1878.
Since that time dozens of negroes
have been executed, but always by a
mob. Some here think the last of
mob law in this county has been
seen, but this case does not offer any
good reasons, as only combination
Of circumstances has prevented his
being mobbed.

Does Hustlins Shorten Life7

It seems that we were all wrong
about the hurtful and life-shortening
effect of American hustle Our ma
tional motto may be said to have been
"a short life, but strenuous one." We
were willing as people to have the
span shortened a little IL only we could
have something worth while, something
active and effective, going on all the
time. But 1t seems, according to the
latest bulletin Of the census bureau,
that the fast life is also the long one.
Our medium age"-that is, the age
which is such that half the population
is under it and half over its more
than seven years greater than 1t was
century ago and increases from decade
to decade. We are SURPRISING easy

we are surprising even the loose.

never worrying African in our midst,
for whereas the medium age of our
American white is 23.4 years. that of
the devil-may-care colored person is
but 1873. Lately much confusion has
arisen in the minds of many Americans
over the statement made by certain
eminent neurologists that 1t is next to
impossible for man to "overwork,"
provided his bodily functions are kept
in good order by temperate and whole

sure, tell us that hurry and worry spell
