THREE NEGROES LYNcHED.

Baker county, Ga, was the scene of a
triple lynching about 2 O'Clock yester-
day morning, when mob of fifty deter
mined men entered the town of New
ton, and secured possession of Garfield
Mccoy, Wiley Anette and George Nc
Kinney, Miller county negroes, who had
been arrested and lodged in Jail for the
murder last Saturday night of F. S.
Bullard, prominent white farmer Of
the Seventh district of Baker. The
manner in which the prisoners were OBJ
tanned is unique, and altogether with
out precedent. Jailer William Screws,
who resides near the Jail, was awakened
about 12 o'clock by Bailifi'R. @. Tucker,
who stated that he had prisoner to
place in the lookup. The jailer hastily
donned his clothes, and proceeded to
the iail. As soon as lie had unlocked
the prison doors, he was suddenly sur
rounded by swarm of men with drawn
revolvers, who demanded that he UNI
lock the cell in which the Miller county
negroes we're confined. He did as
commanded under protest, and the three
negroes we're dragged from the
jail, the prisoner of Tucker max
ing his escape during the ex-
element. Their appeals for mercy were
lost on the mob, who began beating and
slapping them with knives as soon as
they had left the door of the Jail. The
mob lost no time in leaving Newton with
the negroes, and when about a mile west
of the town the three men we're halted,
nooses tied about their necks. and amid
the shouts of the mob the men were
strung up. The crowd fred several hum
dred shots into the swaying bodies, after
which they quietly dispersed. The
crime for wnich the negroes were lynch
ed occurred on the plantation of Bullard
last Saturday night, during the progress
of dance given by one of Billiards.
tenants. Negroes from Early, Miller,
and Decatur counties were present, and
trouble was soon started by Mckinney,
Anette, and Mccoy putting out the
lights. Just at this juncture Bullard ap-
peared on the scene and commanded
order. His interference was resented
by the three negroes, who opened fire
upon him With revolyers. Dullard fell
mortally wounded and died Tuesday.
The negroes were arrested Monday and
lodged in the Jail at Newton. AT their
commitment trial it was proven that the
shot that killed Bullard was fred by Nc
Kinney, and that Anette and Mccoy also
fred at him. The negroes we're remand
ed to Jail to await trial at the next ses-
sion of Baker Superior Court, and abso-
lutely no talk of lynching was INDUCED
in by citizens. 1t is the consensus of
opinion that the work of the mob was
largely due to the fact that Billiards.
family is left in sad condition, his wife
being hopeless invalid and several
small children are dependent. The lynch
ing was great surprise to the people of
the county, as it was generally believed
that the law would be allowed TO take its
course in their cases. The lynching is
deplored.

TO HAVE A QUIET FOURTH.


The Police Department of Baltimore,
has published the usual notice calling at
tention to the ordinance forbidding the
use of fireworks and explosives within
the city limits. The Baltimore Sun in
this connection says:
at is to be hoped that the police viii
enforce this ordinance on the coming
Fourth of July. The burning of power
aud the making of great noise are not
patriotic display. They teach the
young no lesson about the event that is
being celebrated by national holiday
and altogether there is no benefit to come
from the usual pandemonium of suffi-
cient value to justify the risk to life and
property. Every day in the year there are
a number of sick and nervous people in
every city who are sometimes killed out
right by the noise of the explosion OF
powder aronnd their homes. Many who
are not killed are rendered i'll and suffer
torment during the day. Always after
the Fourth, where the toy pistol is per-
mitted, death reapsa harvest of boys kill
ed by lockjaw caused by that deadly
implement. In addition to this peril to
life it is the usual experience that the
leity fire department is on the move all
da. long on the glorious Fourth. Fire
alarms are sounding, and fire engines,
hose carriages and ladder trucks are
dsshing Trough the streets at great cost
to the city aaA adding to the general
tumult and uproey. Often it happens
that houses are buried and much loss
results. There is no necessity for these
evils, they are easily prwentable, and it
is to be hoped and expected that the
Pohce, without unnecessary harshness,
Dut with the utmost frmness and deter
minatlon, will strictly enforce the city
ordinance. If boys feel that it Is abso-
lutely essential to the enjoyment of life
and liberty and the pursuit of happiness
to explode cannon and 6recrackers. let
them go out to the green fields, far from
the maddened crowd, amid the daisies
and within the sound of the purline
brooks, and there raise Cain.

The DEADLY Toy PIsToL.-The toy
pistol should be absolutely barred out OF
the Fourth of July and all other celc-
brations. So grave and serious is the
danger from this instrument of death
that DR.. H. Gideon Wells, a Chicago
physician, has considered it advisable TO
publish an article in leading medical
journal advising as to the treatment OF
the toy pistol wound, He does this, he
says, because each July there is an
enormous increase in the death rate
from lockjaw due to the blank cartridge
wounds, which carry good deal Of
street dirt into the circulation. DIR.
Wells insists that every such cartridge
wound should be treated as a dangerous
emergency and that the wound should
be thoroughly cleansed.s 1t is best, Of
course, to call in the family physician to
attend to ii. But there should be no
such wounds to attend TO, and people Of
sense will see to it that the dangerous
toy pistol is omitted from the equipment
with which the "yonng idea" under
takes "to shoot on the Fourth Of July.

ASSAULT ON You've GIRL-Michael
Ridgeway, white man, made vicious
attack yesterday afternoon on Miss
Zaidce Overstreet the sixteen-yearrold
daughter of J. G. Oyerstreet near the
outskirts of Roanoke. She, with two
nephews, had gone out to gather
berries, when Ridgeway came out of the
woods near by carrying large sack.
He walked up to the young girl aud
struck her fearful blow across the arm
and drawing his knife, threatened to cut
her throat. He then caught her and
threw her to the ground, telling her that
if she made an outcry he would kill her.
She struggled and arose to her feet,
giving a terrible scream. The two boys
ran, giving the alarm, and two negroes
responded, one carrying gun. When
Ridgeway saw the gun he ran into the
woods and escaped. The police were
notified, and q posse of citizens are
securing the country in search of him.
Mrs. Ridgeway, mother of the young
man, was visited, and she claims that
he is mentally unbalanced and not
responsible for his actions. The girls
father is day watchman at the Virginia
Bridge and Iron Company, and the
family is highly respected.

How Snakes Get Over Ground.

Although the snake appears to nave
no legs or feet, it may be said to be
practically supplied with upward OF a
hundred pairs of them. IN fact, each
Joint of the backbone bears Il pair OF
ribs, which are mobile and have their
points attached to the inner surface OF
one of the large transverse platellke
scales which clothe the under surface
of the body. Thus by the movements
of the ribs attached to it each plate can
be drawn forward and its margin ap-
piled to the ground. BY the successive
application of these multitudinous
plates the body can be drawn forward
In a straight line without its being
thrown into undulations from side tC
side.
But rapid movements are also effect
ed by such undulations, and scrpents
can, by pressure and appropriate mus
cular action, climb trees and some
times spring forward. They also swim
easily by lateral textures, but no ser
penis advance by vertical bendings OF
the body, though they are so oftel
drawn in such an attitude.
