Fate in Georgia.
Bodies Soaked With Kerosene by
a Mob, Then the Torch
was Applied.

Statesboro, Ga. Aug. Io..--With
their clothing saturated with kero-
sene and writhing and twisting In
their agony and screaming Paui
Reed and Will Cato. negroes, the two
principals In the murder and burning
of Henry Hodges, his wife AID six
children three miles from StatesooTo
three weeks ago, were burned at the
stake to-day.
Cato begged to Re shot or hanged
Some of the more humane wanted 10
grant the request, but they were IN
the minority. A member of the mob
made a speech, recounting the horrors
Of the crime. This inf tmed the
crowd to burning pitch.
To large stump twelve feet high,
the men were chained. A wagon
loaded with pine wood WIS hauled TO
the spot and piled around the men
and ten gallons OF kerosene was
thrown over them. A photographer
was present and the crowd cleared
back so that he might get several
views OF the men. Then followed an
awful scene. Frer zied cheers rent
the air as TIE men almost crszed with
hatred for the men being punished
saw the cruel flames drinking up the
life blood.
The spectacle was frigh,ful. As
the flames reached Reeds naked OIL
soaked skin he twisted his head
around In an eudeavor TO choke HIM
sell and avoid the frightiul torture.
Only once did he complain. He
said:
Lord have mercy"
Gao screamed with agony and beg
ged 10 be shot. His heavy suit OF
hair. which was oil soaked, was al
most the first thing the flames fasten-
ed upon. He was screaming with
agony while the hemp rope become
a collar of fire around his neck.
AS soon as II was seen that the men
were dead the crowd commenced to
disperse. A large number remained
behind p,ling more fuel on until both
the bodies were burned except the
trunks. Others employed ,hemsel-
YES in thrashing out the FIRE. which
commenced spreading among the dry
pine needles.

In Memory of Mrs. Nancy Park.

On July 10th 1904, the dark angel
OF death lowered over the home OF
our dear mother. In the beautiful
beyond were b.ckou;ng hands OF
loved ones gone before, and the sweet
voice of her Redeemer calling her
home. Her pilgrimage had heep
long, and the mile-stones marked
with deeds of love and kindness.
She was eighty-iour years of age,
had lived a consistant,member of the
Methodist church the past seventy
years. She leaves four sons and three
daughters, host of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss.
A face Is missing in our home.
A voice we loved is still
A place Is vacant in our heart
Which never can be filled. DELL
