PRISON FOR A PLANTER.
Alabaman Pleads Guilty to Holding
Neuroes in Peoua1e.

Alabaman Pleads Guilty to Holding
Negroes in PeonaRe.
]. W. Pace of Tallapoosa. Ala, a
wealthy planter, was found guilty in the
federal court of holding negroes in in
voluntary servitude and given five years
in prison. He pleaded guilty to each Of
eleven indictments, but owing to the ad-
vanced age of the convicted man he was
sentenced to serve punishment concur
rently, making his Imprisonment a sin
gle five-year term. The case was ap-
pealed to test and defendant released on
bail of 5000.
Pace was charged with holding in
treated cruelty on PAGES farm, many be-
ing brutally whipped. 1t is said that
Owens Green, a negro, was whipped so
severely that many bones in his body
were broken and that his power of speech
was interfered with.
When Pace made his statement to the
judge he acknowledged that he was gull
ty. He said: II plead guilty to the Of
fenses and would like your honor to be
merciful." The judge then asked him
if he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him and he
replied in the negative.
At Macon, Ga, in the United States
Court, Judge Speer imposed a fine of ST.,
600 each on three young men, William
Shy, Arthur Clawson and Robert Tur-
ner, for holding a negro in involuntary
servitude. He suspended the fine under
conditions, and so doing the court said:
I'm view of the fact that it is the
first crime of the kind which ever has
occurred in Georgia, and because of the
frank confession of the young men, SEN
tence is imposed in order to convince the
public that the purpose of the court is
TO warn and deter others from like crime
During good behavior fine is suspended
upon payment of 500 each"
The offense was that the young men.
who are farmers. caught negro who
was in debt TO them, gave him whip
ping and made him go to work for them.
Judge Speer said that the problem of
the times could not be solved by harsh
measures and wanted it distinctly undec-
stood that the laws of Georgia were
against snch treatment.

CROPS ARE BACKWARD.
Yield of Winter Wheat Disappointing
Corn IL Very Late.


The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
While still too cool in the districts east
of the Rocky Mountains, the tempera-
ture conditions of the week ended June
~ We're somewhat more favorable in the
central valleys and Southern States, but
over portions of the lake region and mid
die Atlantic States and in New England
it was colder than in the preceding week.
Heavy rains in the last two districts in
terrupted farm work, but in the Ohio and
upper Mississippi valleys and gulf States
the conditions were very favorable for
cultivation
Rain is now needed in the Dakotas,
northern Minnesota. and in portions Of
the central and east gulf districts.
A general improvement in the condition
of corn in the central valleys is indi-
Gated. especially over the western por
tions. In all northern and central dis
tricts corn continues very late. but is in
good state Of cultivation. except in the
middle Atlantic States. In the Southern
States early corn is largely laid by, and
Il nearing maturity in Texas.
Winter wheat harvest has made fav-
orable progress, and is now general in
the central portions of the winter wheat
belt, with disappointing yields, especial
" in the southern portions of Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana.
Spring wheat is suffering for rain in
North Dakota and portions of South Da-
kota, and is affected by rust quite gen.
orally in Nebraska. In these last two
States, however, the crop, as a rule, is
doing well, and in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Iowa continues in promising condi-
tion. In Washington the crop has i'm
proved where moisture has been suffi-
cient.
The outlook for oats Is less promising
In the Dakotas. Nebraska, northern Min
nesota and southern Illinois. In Wiscon-
sin, Kansas, on upiands in Iowa, and in
northern Illinois good crop is promised.
An improvement is reported from Mich
igan, the Ohio valley and the middle At
lantic States
Cotton continues small, but its general
condition is somewhat improved.
In New England tobacco needs warmth
and sunshine, but elsewhere the crop
has made favorable progress, except in
North Carolina and portions of Virginia
In Missouri, Arkansas. Illinois, In
diana and Pennsylvania apples are un-
promising, but the outlook continues fav-
orable in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Kentucky. In New York the prospects
vary from poor to good. In the Virginias
and Ohio an improvement is reported.
Recent rains have caused a marked
improvement in grass in New England
and the middle Atlantic States, but the
crop will be light.

THE GLORIOUS DAY.

Willie is out in the alley making all the
commotion he can;
He has blisters on three Of his fingers, but
he doesn't mind, brave little man.
His little red bank has been looted, and
blithely he fires away,
Intending to keep up theracket till the close
of the glorious day.
He throws lighted things at the horses
that, dancing and prancing, so by,
And cracker goes OF in his pocket and he
jumps about seven feet high.
Father has gone away golfng; he requires
the calm and the rest;
He foozles and then he gets bunkered and
sorrow creeps into his breast.
He says things that cannot be printed and
angrily tears up the clay
Far, far from the noise and commotion he
golfs all the glorious day;
His drives are so eager and earnest as to
cause his suspenders to burst.
And he now and then stops at the club
house and joyfully quenches his thirst.
Sister has gone with young wadsleigh
away In his automobile
To endeavor to smash all the records-im-
agine the gladness they feel!
They Will run over dogs and main children
and perhaps kill a farmer or two,
They will madly zipp over the bridges and
Far away from the racket they'll gladly
hirt on through the glorious day,
And pedestrians born free and equal had
better keep out Of the way.
Mother Is shut In the parlor with her fin
gers poked into her ears.
She hdgets around, she Is nervous and fill
ed with a thousand dark fears;
She wishes the man who invented the
Fourth Of July might have died
An innocent babe In his cradle-and some
thing goes of at her side
That causes the windows to rattle-she
falls In a ut on the floor
And Willie peeps In and is sorry the glory
so soon shall be DER.
s. E. Kiser.

NEGRO DIES AT THE STAKE.
Delaware Mob Burns Girls Slayer AT.
ter OyerpoWeriuu Tail Guarda

Delaware Mob Burns GirPs Slayer At.
ter OverpowerinG Jail Guards.
Fired by ministers of the gospel and
the women of Wilmington, Del, George
White, a negro, accused of attacking and
numbering Miss Helen S. Bishop, was
taken from the Newcastle workhouse
Monday night, after fierce battle with
the guards in which several men were
shot, and tied to a stake and burned.
The negro confessed and was shot full
Of bullets as he was burning at the
stake. -Four of the citizens who took
White from the workhouse were shot.
one fatally.
Following the verdict of the coroner's
jury mobs gathered in the streets of Will
mington throughout the afternoon and
night. Finally, 1000 strong, the mob
the workhouee, about a mile and half
outside the city.
There was no demonstration on the
part of the mob when the police arrived.
The crowd seemed to be holding back,
waiting for the leadership of some per-
son still expected.
Suddenly up the roadway. galloping
swiftly, came half dozen horsemen.
They dismounted and soon they had or
ganized several squads of men armed
with heavy railroad ties.
With rush and a whoop squad after
squad charged upon the workhouse door
with the improvised battering ram. The
doors crashed in and the mob charged
into the hallway. The police then drew
their revolvers and fired into the crowd.
But the mob paid no attention to clubs
or bullets. The police were carried off
their feet and knocked down, trampled
upon and the mob passed over them into
the corridors of the Jail.
It was shortly before midnight when
they had located the cell where White
was confined. Swinging lanterns, they
peered In and made sure of the negro's
identification. He fell on his knees,
screaming piteously for mercy.
With a moose around his neck and the
mob of thousands at his heels the negro
was started toward Prices Corners, the
scene of his attack upon Helen Bishop.
There on the spot where the girls
mutilated body was found had already
been erected a great pile of pine kim
ding and straw, and to a stake driven
in the middle of this the negro was tied.
1ue Wnoie pyre WIS saturated Wluu KerO-
sene and then the torch was applied.
When he found that his case was hope
less the negro confessed the deed and did
not spare himself in telling It.
The flames leaped up and reached the
mans hands. Suddenly the ropes on his
legs parted and he sprang from the fire.
A man struck him on the head with a
fence rail and knocked him down. Others
threw him back into the flames.
After the mob had completed its awful
work Of vengeance the body Of the negro
murderer was left chained to the stake
with the fire burning all around it and
the members of the lynching party went
home. A rain which began falling later
extinguished the fire and at daylight the
charred body still hung limp in plain
sight of passers-by.

with some mild and unoffending acerbity.
When you= make up your mind to a
thing, that's the end; but with me it's
only the beginning of another change of
mind. But one thing. have always up
to this time been firm about, that's that
flag. made 'it''-Mrs. Lowry's voice
broke, and she caught nervous!y at a
fold of her gown-"K made it for the
Captain, and. though it never waved
over battlefield, his dying fingers han
died it."
Even the matter-of-fact Mrs. Patter-
son stopped at her work and caught her
breath with a prolonged sigh. The other
said, as if in a dream, You've often
heard that old story from the soldiers
who came back"
Mrs. Lowry arose, and stood silent
moment. The pea-shelling operation
continued, but the grating. and clicking
of the lawn mower, next door, suddenly
ceased. AS suddenly, Mrs. Patterson
spoke Sharply, leaning far out from her
chair:
Does that grandson of yours know of
the splendid offer we've made you for
that fagY'
Il haven't told him yet" was the re-
sponse.
well, just tell him when you go
back" Mrs. Patterson commanded
Hell look at it in a sensible light. l
know the boy well enough for that. He's
no dreamer. The ladies' and I'll be over
after the flag at O'clock"
Dusk was falling as Mrs. Lowry walk
ed. slowly around the graveled path. And
as she swung back her own gate, the
squeaking noise that she seldom noticed
Jared her unpleasantly. The long ham
die of the mower was lying half across
her path and the open doorway was
merely an oblong of empty darkness
