The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constipa-
ton and inactive livers, by arousing
the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet efectually, and giving such
tone and strength to the glands of the
stomach, liver and bowels that the
cause of the trouble is removed entire
ly. These famous little pills exert q
decided tonic effect upon the organs
involved, and if their use is continued
for few days there will be no return
of the trouble. C.E. Grafton Drug Co.

An Association Forming In Brook.
haven of Over 100 Members.

|
Brookhaven is to have Young
Mems Christian Association.
That much is an accomplished fact,
and t he interest shown (120 have
applied for membership insures a
large and effective organization.
In answer to letters sent them
by j. M. Wood, two repre-
sentative Laurel men, Prof. j. M.
Consley, ex-President of the
Laurel Y. M. G. A., and Mr..
Charleton Younts', general secre-
tary of the association, came to
Brookhayen Sunday morning last
for the purpose of ascertaining
the sentiment here toward the
formation Of a local city associa-
ton.
A meeting was called for 3 p.
m. in the old Cherokee Club rooms,
which was largely attended, and
there the purposes, aims and re-
suits of a Y. NJ. c.. A. were clearly
explained. Over so of those pres
ent signified willingness to join,
at membership fee of $1,000 a
year, payable in advance, and
some Of the business men present
promised moral and financial sup
port. At night an enthusiastic
meeting was held in the Baptist
church and the interest of the
ladies secured.
Monday Messrs. Consley and
Younts, assisted by willing we'll
wishers, canvassed the city for
members, and 120 have promised
to join. At meeting held Mon
day night, organization was
effected and the following board
of directors was elected: F. G.
Oberschmidt, A. G. McNair,
Thos. Brady, Jr., G. Hamilton,
L. H. Baggett, W. D. Davis, G.
G. Lyell, G. E. Grafton, J. M.
Wood, E. H. Wentworth, NJ. Nc
Cullough, W. +. Parsons.
At a meeting of the board of
directors the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President, W. F. Parsons; vice
president, JIM. Wood; secretary,
N. Mccullough; treasurer, G. H.
Hamilton.
The work of the two Laurel
men was purely one of love for
the organization, and having &C
complished their object, they re-
turned to their home city Monday
night. Mr.. g. H. Moorman, the
State secl etary of the Y. M. C.
A, is now in Brookhaven and will
complete the work.
1t is estimated that $4,000 to
$4,000 will be required the first
year here, as the cost of gymnastic
paraphernalia, bath tubs, shower
baths, games, literature, some
furniture, and many other expen-
ses as we'll as the general secre-
tary's salary, will have to be met.
The only way in which to make
the organization success will be
to employ competent secretary,
who will devote all of his time to
the association, and who knows

Worse than an alarm of fire at night
is the bassy cough of Group, which

Group. Mrs. P. L. Cordier, of Man

An Elegant Reception.

The crowning event of the social
season was the reception last
Thursday night at the new and
palatial home of Mr.. and Mrs. d.
j. Batchelder. Their charming
residence was completed a few
months ago and, among Brook
haven's many handsome homes,
is easily the one par excellence in
value and modern appointments.
"A miniature palace, +" it was said
to appear on the night of
the reception with its
scintillant illuminations and
charming gathering of invited and
brilliant guests.
Mrs. Batchelder, the handsome
and gracious hostess of the even
ing, wore a gown of white crepe
de chine, and she and her husband
were assisted in receiving by Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. McGrath, Mr.. and
Mrs. S, E. Moreton, Mr.. and Mrs.
0. Newton, Mr.. and Mrs. Ligon
and Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Will
loughbv. The beautiful women of
this coterie of popular society
devotees, were robed in elegant
evening gowns and, together with
their friend and confrere, Mrs.
Batchelder, were the observed of
all observers.
The dining hall, with it's appoint
ments in keeping with the refined
elegance of every apartment of
the beautiful mansion, was
decorated in pink carnations and
white roses and presented a most
pleasing and convivial scene dur
ing the serving of the menu on the
auspicious occasion of Thursday
last.
During all the delightful hours
spent within the hospitable walls,
there was no moment that lacked
in interest or animation and, dur
ing the latter part of the evening,
the young people expressed the
gladness of their hearts in the
dance, for which music was fur
nished by the Italian Band, of New
Orleans.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Batchelder,
a large contingent of friends is in
debted for an evening replete with
pleasure and one that will bear
record through years to come of
the princely hospitality dispensed.

A Northern Lynchinu.

A mob of couple of thousand men
Monday night at Wilmington, DEL,
broke into the county workhouse bent
on lynching George White, the negro
who was held on a charge of assault
ing and killing Helen Bishop.
The guards defended the place and
boy and a man, members of the
mob, were shot and slightly injured.
The guards played a strong stream
Of water from a hose into the crowd,
which stubbornly held it's ground and
declared they would get the negro.
The negro was taken to the scene of
the crime. He there confessed to hav-
ing assaulted the girl. He was then
burned to the stake and his body rid
died with bullets.
The excitement attending the grue-
some tragedy enacted Monday night
when George F. White the negro MUIR
derer of seventeen-year-old Helen
s. Bishop, was burned at the
stake, has subsidized. The swift and
dire punishment mcted out to the per-
petrator of the crime is the sole topic
Of conversation but the details are
calmly rehearsed.
During the show of resistance made
by the police and the Jail officials
when the mob attacked the New Castle
county workhouse, Peter Smith, a
12 year old boy, was shot in the back.
The bullet which struck him evident
ly came from pistol in the crowd,
as 1t Is claimed by the prison war
den that his guards fired over the
heads of the lynchers. Smith died
Wednesday afternoon.
Another young man, whose name is
unknown, was slightly injured. The
only other persons known to have
been hurt was a man who was kicked
by White, when the negro attempted
to escape from mis- torturers, and
another man who had his arm burned.
Mrs. Bishop, mother of the MUIR
dered girl, is in a state Of extreme
nervousness. White was put to death
within a few hundred yards of the
Bishop house and the glare of the fire
and howls of the mob could plainly
be seen and heard at the house.
