mob by SO slight an incident as the
accidental Scratching OF a match.
Williams Mccoy. who has been
guilty of assaulting a woman in Lafay-
cite parish, was en- trial there. His
victim had identified him and the
townspeople decided to lynch him.
Threats of burning were openly made,
and Mccoy expected to be taken out
and horribly used. On the last day of
the trial mob entered the courtroom
with the avowed purpose of attacking
the prisoners guards as soon as the
verdict was read and lynching him,
whether ne was found guilty or not
The sheriff had extra deputies, but
the mob was so large that there seem
ed no hope Of saving Mccoy. The
judge received the verdict and read it.
The mob started forward. At that in
stant, when the fight was about to
begin, some one stepped upon match,
which made loud report, and it was
mistaken for pistol shot.
Mccoy tainted and the mob, believ-
ing he had been shot, stampeded. The
sheriff hustled him away and locked
him up, putting the key of the Jail in
the bank vault. Later Mccoy was
brought to this city and now awaits
death. He has been refused a new

By a decree of nature, one-half
the world flourishes at the expense of
the other half The sparrow chases
the butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem Of life is
tWofold. 1t is not enough merely to
eat; it is necessary to avoid being
eaten. Yet nature detests killing for
killings sake. Massacre forms no
part Of her great plan. So we see
that every creature is provided with
some more or less effective quality OF
defence, by means of which the at.
tacks of its natural enemies are rem.
dered less frequent Or less deadly.
Thus, the antelope. by means of it's
superior speed, at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo, rolled in it's
wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
foes, while the white hare. scarcely
distinguishable from the snow on
which it crouches. is often over
looked by his foe the fox. But Of all
creatures none nave. received more
ample protection than the insects.
Some of them possess stings, others
bite, and few puff out clouds of
poisonous vapor to stupefy or blind
their pursuers. Again, there are in.
sects clothed in impenetrable armor,
insects covered with sharp spines
md prickles and others whose means
OF defence consists in nothing but a
likeness to the objects which sur.
round them.

NEW GUTTA PERcHA TREE.
V2luasIe Discovery Recently Made in
The Valley O. The Amazon.

the Valley o. The Amazon.
Up to quite recent date the wo-7
has relied On the rubber tree for its
supply Of gutta percha, and on ae-
count of the limited area in which this
plant grows the product has been eX-
ceedingIy expensive. a short time ago
a gutta percha merchant in the Guia-
mas in examining the Amazon region
in South America found the balata
tree growing in abundance near Para
and on the Amazon and it's tributaries
for thousands of miles. The Brazilians
had no knowledge OF its gum -produc-
ing properties and were founc cutting
down the trees for firewood and build.
ing material. A Concession was bought
and the practical work of producing
gutta percha for the market begun.
There is practically no limit to the
supply of gutta percha on the Amazon
and it can be produced at fraction
Of the cost of rubber. The method Of
bleeding the balata tree is entirely
different from tl.at used to extract the
gum of the rubber tree and only ex.
pert "bleederS, 1t is SAID, can be
employed. The trees yield many times
as much sap as the rubber trees and
one man can gather as much gutta
percha in day as twenty man can
extract from the rubber tree. Each
tree will average three and half
pounds and one competent "bleeder"
can prepare forty to fifty pounds per
day. The gum is fermented and then
dried in the sun, after which it is
ready for shipment.

"Ore ct tie most gigantic trusts

Southern senator, was in the carly
days of the republic. Several gentle
men organized themselves into a com
pany for the purpose of purchasing
from the state CT Georgia her unclairn-
ed western territory. extending from
the Mississippi on the west to the At
lantic on the east, and from t1e thirty
first degree of latitude north of the
equator on the south to the southern
boundary of Tennessee on the north,
including what now constitutes the
territory of Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
slssippi. This new territory was pur-
chased for $500, 900, and this was the
commencement of the famous 'Yazoo
fraud about which so much was said
and written. The bill authorizing the
sale passed the Georgia legislature in
January, 1895, and it is said members
were paid all the way from two ne
groes to 100000 acres of land to vote
for the bill. Corruption by bribery
Was open. Gredt lnQlSndIlOn spread
throughout the state, and upon the as
sembling of the legislature one year
later the act was declared null and
void. The records relating to the in
famous act were ordered burned, in
order that no trace of so unconstitu.
tional, vile and fraudulent transaction
should remain public. The Infamous
records we're placed in one vast heap,
and sunglass was used to set it on
fire, so that it might be said that the
hre that consumed them was sent from
heaven. This was the first and only
instance in the history where legisla-
tive body personally superintended the
destruction by fire of it's previous rec.
ords of corruption"
