n Good Example.

The News says being consci-
ence stricken at the thought of hav-
ing swindled cotton mill seven years
ago with a water packed bale, far
mer, living in another county has sent
80 in cash to Greenville, that being
the amount to which he was not en-
titled. The case is rather remark
able. Often 1t Is found that the
weight OF bale decreases after 1t has
been thoroughly dried, but 1T more
often happens that when complaint
Is made to the original seller, the
fault is laid at the DIOR Of a glnner.
In this instance, however, the ginner
was the innocent party. We wish
every one who has taken what does
not belong to him would follow the
example or the man mentioned above.

POISONED HIM.
A Negroes Bite Causes the Death of "a
White Man. @

The Atlanta Journal says after suf-
fering weeks of intense agonies, as the
result Of the bite Of a negro, received
during a personal difficulty over three
months ago, j. N. Porter, we'll
known planter OF Dougherty county,
Ca, died Of blood poisoning Tuesday
morning at 4;3O o'clock at the Bapttst
Tabernacle infirmary, on Luckie
street.
During hand to hand encounter
With negro, Mr.. Porter was bitten
upon the thumb of the lett hand.
Though the sharp teeth of his black
assailant sank almost to the bone. the
farmer paid little attention to the
matter at first, thinking that the
wound would heal without giving him
any trouble.
After several days had elapsed, how.
ever, the injured finger became in
fiamed and after several weeks 1t was
almost double It's natural size. Natur-
ally greatly alarmed Mr.. Porter has.
tened to Albany, Ga and placed him
self under the treatment of the phy-
s!clans there. Slowly his entire arm
became inillmed and was swollen to
enormous proportions. 1t panied him
constantly and at times he was COM
PEELED to suffer agOnies almost beyond
human endurance.
AS there was no change for tie bet
ter, as last resort Mr.. Porter was ad.
Vlsed to come TO A Atlanta for treat
ment. He arrived about five weeks ago
and was placed in the Tabernacle in
Urinary, where he was attended by
DR.. E. G. Davis and other physicians.
AS the only possible means of saw
Ing the life OF the patient the affected
arm was amputated three weeks ago.
However, 1t was too late. The poison
had already extended throughout his
system-even the lungs being affected
and he sank slowly to his death.
Mr. Porter was about 60 years Of
age and was unmarried. He had re-
sided In Dougherty county for some
time and leaves many friends there
who will learn Of his tragic death with
deep regret. Unuil Instructions are re-
ceived from relatives, the remains will
be held at the undertaking parlors OF
Barclay & Brandon.

BAD WORK OF A MOB.
Smoked 0ut a Negro Prisoner and
Then Lynohsd Him.
THEY SET THE JAIL ON FIRE.
The Negro Hung Was in jail for
Numbering John waldrop.
White Man OF tho

At Huntsville, Ala, after setting
fire to the jail and smoking out the
prisoner while the fire department.
was held at bay with guns and the
sheriff, his deputies ana the soldiers
outwitted, a mob estimated at over
1000 persons lynched Horace M Maples,
the negro accused of numbering John
Waldrop, by stringing him to tree
on the court house lawn Wednesday
night.
This action of the mob was taken
notwithstanding strong protests made
by Solicitor Erie Pettus and III. Wal.
lace. Jr., in stirring speeches In which
Ia" and order were pleaded for elo-
quently.
The crowd began togather Wednes-
DAY afternoon and Wednesday night
as soon as the details Of the crime
spread throughout the country in
which Waldrop had a number OF
friends and before the militia, which
was ordered from Birmingham by
GOV. Cunningham arrived, the MOB
had swelled to enormous proportions.
The sheriff and bis deputies pluckily
stood their guard but they were
powerless before the mob and the fire.
The local military company was called
out but they were outwitted by the
men who conceived the idea of smok-
ing out the prisoner.
at 1O.2 25 o'clock the jail was fired in
the back yard and burned fercely, a
dense smoke spreading through the
upper stories and cellsof the building.
The fire department was not allowed
to approach within block of the
scene and was driven away with bull
lets. The command on the outside
would allow nobody to enter or come
out until the person OF Horace Naples
was surrendered to the crowd. The
sheriff and his guards would not give
IN out In some manner the negro got
through window and jumped out Of
the building into the crowd. He was
chased down and rope thrown
around his neck and he was pulled up
10 the county court house. There
was an immense crowd on the lawn.

crime and duplicating a white man

down in turn but finally when Solicit I,
tor Pettus called on all who were In
favor OF the law taking Its course to
hold up their hand, about half in the
big crowd OF several thousand did 80.
There was cheering for q moment but
the men with thsJope pulled the ne.
gro away, threw the end Of the rope
over limb and drew him up. The
negro was dead in few moments. a
crowd will make an effort to capture
the negro's accomplices but no more
disorder is feared.
During the attack on the jail United
Safes District Judge Sholby issued an
order for the United States deputy
marshal to protect United States pris-
oners In the burning building and OBJ
tain names Ofall parties engaged In
endangering the prisoners lives.

that she will spend most pleasant and

cONNER'S PLURALlTlES.

Congressman Conner certainly has
reason to be proud of his vote in Boone
county. In 1900. when be was elected
to his first term and was running
against r. F. Dale of this city Judge
Corners plurality in Boone county was
1871. In 1902 when the people of
Boone county got better acquainted
with him, his plurality in Boone
county was 1868. Notwithstanding that
was an off year and nearly all plurali-
ties were reduced from the year 1900.
This year Judge Corners plurality in
Boone county is 1856. The pluralities
in the other counties of the Tenth
District are correspond;ngly large this
year. but in no county has the gain in
sentiment for Conner been stronger
than in this county. The straightfor-
ward honest work of our congressman
pleases the people of Boone county,
aud it seems to be growing on them
with each successive term.-Boone

We are informed that MIR. Claus
PAIL has decided to appoint Mr.. VIM.
McLennan as deputy clerk. So far as
we have heard this appointment meets
with universal approval. Mr.. Nc
Lehman is lawyer. is familiar with
the work of the courts, and certainly
no one deserves better of the republi-
can party than does he. His appoint
ment is a guarantee that the work OF
the clerks ossce will be conducted to
the satisfaction of all.
Mr.. Theobald announces that, he has
arranged with MIR. M. j. Collins to act
as deputy auditor until spring when a
permanent deputy will be appointed.
This decision will meet with approx
al from Mr.. Collins many friends
throughout the county and means that
there will be no hitch in the Auditor {
Office.
In the Recorders Office we learn that
Mr.. M. L. Houlihan, Jr., has also.
wisely. decided upon conservative
course and will appoint Mrs. A. G.
Martyr to act as his deputy at pres.
ent. Mrs. Martyr is perhaps more
familiar with the records than any
other person in the county. She will
be able to fully instruct Mr.. Houlihan
as to his new duties, and will restore
the Office to the highest grade of effici.
ency. Mrs. Martyrs appointment is
not permanent, but Mr.. Houlihan will
take his time about appointing sue
cessor.
We are glad to be able to say that
