The First Baptist Church of this, city
was dedicated last Sunday with fitting
ceremonies. Rev. Elwood P. Lyon, the
pastor, acted as officiating clergyman, a
splendid double quartette rendered Sc
lections from choice anthems and all who
attended enjoyed the exercises. The
citizens joined with the members of that
religious organization in responding va
liantly to the call for funds and nearly
$4,000 was raised at the morning and
evening services. The new church build
ing lately finished is apretty little temple
of worship and is quite an acquisition in
the way of public improvement.

The granting of the franchise was per-
fectly proper and Adams county has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by the act. While it strikes one as quite
an undertaking yet there is plenty OF
dormant capital which could be enlisted
in the feasible scheme. We live in the
moving age of rapid progression and
completion of an electric road traversing
Adams county and the great wheat belt
of Eastern Washington within the next
two years. Mr.. Clark assures us that all
preliminaries are under Roadway and
that surveys will begin at once.

result OF severe whipping AL
ministersd to him ny Fl Il Will
hanson, j. H. Werx is not ex-
pectsd to liv.. Both persons are
white farmers living near Di SONS
IN the lower part Of this county
The story tells Of ono of the most
brutal affairs ever reported from
this county. Many reports of
ths'dssd and the causes leading
mp to it have been circulated, asd
ths facts arc hard to- Ascertaia.
Those thirg. sre certain: ]. H.
"s'tz was whipped .ssrly tn
death by H R. Williamson while
two nsgross h.li Wertz at The
command of WilIiamson: the two
negroes are in Jail here; that
Wlllism'on lis at liberty under y
thousand dollar bond. The pre-
ii.inary bearing was held at
Ninety Six yesterday bsfor. Nag
istrats Rogers. The prisoners
waived the preliminary, and u
bond of sn- thous ,ud dollars
each wa. fixed by the magistrate
Tor their rsl~ss.. Williamson WAS
able to give the bond, and the
negroes in default Of their bonds
were rsHSndsi to Jail.
The whipping Was given last
Thursday. 1t appears that had
blood has existed for .oms time
between Wsr,x and Willis N son
and ON Thursday morain: Will
hanson datormined to whip w ertz.
With two nero men hs waited on
the side of,ths road along which
he knsw Wsrtz would soon pass.
Wsrtz with = Mr.. Spsaks had
gone to losk at some tim bsr " hlch
Speaks wanted for 4 hard wee
factory in Spartanburg. After
looking at the timber they started
back to Wertx's home. Az thsv
approached the place whsrs Will
ian-os aad The negroes wore
waiting, Williamson ordered them
to halt. Spsaks was told to stand
aside and tas nsgros. were order
cd to seize Wsrtz. This they
did and Williamson then whlpped
Wsrrz with a buggY trace. The
brutality Of the deed now appears.
Having the unfortunate man en-
tlroly ut his mercy be was net
satisfied with the lgnominy which
wsuld have come to the man held
by negroes and even Ii ghtiy whip
ped, but whipped him SO severely
that his very life is in danger.
Williamson is = very nuch
larger and stronger man than
Wsrtz and could have whipped
him easily in fair fight, hut
chose the niost brutal msds of
procedure he could. Some -.
sons from that section state that
Wsrtz was q fellow of no value
to tho community, etc, but there
is no attempt elsewhere to excuse
SO brutal sn act. III, l.. w
