nously as they fitted about in the warm night.
 And 1t was very quiet in the bedroom too. Only the soft breathing of the sleeping girl added to the music of the insects.
 All at once a low deep-drawn, uncan- ny wall broke the stiffness.
 The sleeping girl awoke. What was that she heard? Another long and mournful cry rang out. Trembling with horror she sat up in bed and peered around the room. In the dark ness she could see nothing.
 Following on the last vail, pecu- liar scratching noise Issued from bez meath the bed, as if some wild animal were sharpening its claws on the car pet.
 Too frightened to cry out the little Dutch girl remained perfectly still, with her dark eyes open, aghast with terror. The thought came to her that 1t might be 8 puma. It was horrible, but what else could it be? She knew that the wood nearby was the haunt of many wild animals, and one might quite easily have crept in through the thinly-guarded window.
 Presently all became still.
 Now the little girl imagined that the thing was prowling around the room. But why was 1t so quiet? Hark! there 1t was, scratching agaih! Then the thing burst forth with aIi- other and more terrifying moan. A sudden dread swept over the girl, and uttering hysterical cry she leaped out of bed and rushed blindly from the room.
 Her loud cries aroused those within the bungalow.
 Soon everyone was listening to her gobbed-out tale of the horrible animal that was hiding in her bedroom.

evidently thought he was discovered
and fired to save himself from being
found This is the general idea en-
tertaiIsd by the officers.
Mr. Murray was the only section boss
between Savannah and Waycross who
did not join the strikers, and he had
been repeatedly warned by anonymous
messages to quit work and join the
strikers. This he persistently refused
to. do and on two occasions had words
with some of the strikers who were
disposed to criticise him openly.
Murray Was Popular.
The remains of the young man were
removed to his fathers house before
the sheriffs posse reached the scene.
He was 10 years of age and unmar-
ried. In the community in which he
lived he was very popular, and from
expressions heard near the scene of the
murder there is little doubt but that
he would have been speedily revenged
had his slayer been captured.
Deputy Sweeny and party returned
from the scene at IL o'clock, but the
search for the slayer will not be CIV
en- up. The special officers of the rail-
road will take up the various bits Of
information that have been discovered
so far and follow them to the end.

ported that there is no sheriff in Lib

the office, is in Florida. where he is

PARK COMMISSION
SETTING OUT PLANTS,
Plants RemOved in Fall Being Re-

Plants RemOved in Fall Being Re-
placed in Parks and Squares.
The Park and Tree Commission has
had a force of men at work for the last
few days setting out the small and
harder plants in Forsyth Park and in
the squares of the city. The bulbous
plants which were set out in the fall,
are already making a good showing,
and some of them are in bloom. Prepa-
rations are going on for setting out the
more delicate plants as soon as all
danger of a frost has passed.
Among the small plants which have
already been set out are the coloes,
echaranthus, althernantheras, strobo-
lanthus and crotons. These are the
small plants with variously colored
leaves which, when set out in beds in
which the plants stand close together,
make an unusually attractive appear
ance. On the leaves of one of these
plants as many as ten colors are
shown.
The heliotropes were set out in bulb
in the fall and many of these are now
in bloom, especially those which are
protected from the cold winds and yet
get the benefit of the warm sunshine.
The begonias are also doing well and
are far enough advanced to withstand
any cold which may yet occur.

GILES NOW STOPPED.
Chief Tribunal Decides Against the
Montgomery Negro.

OechOea Against NnC
Montgomery Negro.
Washington, Feb. 23.-In the Supreme
Court of the United States to-day an
opinion was handed down by Justice
Day in the case of Jackson Giles VS..
the board of registration of Montgom-
cry county, Alabama, dismissihg the
case for want of jurisdiction, no fed
eral question being involved.
The case involved the suffrage
clause of the new constitution of Ala
bama. This provision was attacked on
a discrimination against the colored
race, of which Giles is a member. The
effect of the decision is against Giles.
After setting out the contentious of
the plaintiff in detail Justice Day
said:
Now, it is perfectly settled that un-
less a federal right has been set up
and denied in the state court. we
have no right to review its decision,
and after very careful examination
of this matter and a due appreciation
of the gravity of the charge made as
to the political action of that state, we
see no ground to distinguish it from
the universal rule as applied in this
court affecting writs of error of this
kind"
Justice Harlan dissented.

been set out this year, the commission
deciding to place more of them in the
Park than in former years. The hybis-
Gus is plant which grows to a hight
of from two to three feet and then
blooms. The flower is a large red bios
som, with leaves somewhat resembling
lily, only more compact In addition
acalypha, phylanthus. and SALIVA
plants have been set out.
Besides the heliotropes, the tuleps
narcissus and other similar plants are
giving every evidence of blooming with
in comparatively short time. These
varieties of plants are set out in the
fall, and as a result, they are the first
flowers to bloom in the spring.
The tropical plants, consisting prin-
cipally of the different varieties of
palms, will not be set out until all dan
ger of a frost has passed. At present
these plants are being cared for in the
city greenhouse on Barnard street, and
will be placed in the parks and squares
about the middle of April, or the early
part of May Some of the harder varie-
ties will be set out during the middle
and latter part of March. The geran-
lums, draecians, and caladiaums are
still in the greenhouse waiting warmer
weather.
Considerable interest has been taken
in the magnolia trees, especially those
which are comparatively young. Last
fall an insect pest made it's appearance
on the trees, and though they were
promptly treated with an insecticide. it
was for a time feared that they had
seriously injured the trees. All indica-
tions now point to the fact that the lit
tie pests did no harm, owing to the
prompt work of the commission.
We have no new plan of work this
year." said member of the commits
sion, "but will simply do all in our
power to beautify the city. All the
parks and squares will be given close
attention, the grass will be carefully
cared for, and trees and flowers set out
in the most available places.
"A number of residents have bought
trees and ordered them placed before
their residences. This work has been
going on, especially with the hardy
trees, during the entire winter. and
several of the streets this wear will
present greatly improved appearances
We have orders on hand now for MANY

AGAIN THE BULLS
HAVE THEIR DAY
THEY SENT COTTON UP,
AND THE TRADING AT NEW Or
LEANS WAS SENSATIONAL

Prices Opened Alter Two Days OF
Rest 3 10 - Points Higher Than
the Close on saturday-support
from the Bulls sent the Market

Higher-CIOse Was Quiet and
steady.
New Orleans, Feb. 23.-To-day was
another field day for the bulls in the
cotton market. After two days Of
rest the market opened with both
longs and shorts eager for a fight.
The bulls forced the trading from
the opening, and their heavy bidding
caused prices TO open to 32 points
higher than the close Of Saturday.
Continued aggressiveness on their
part forced prices up until they were
at an advance Of II to 81 points, while
the close was 81 TO sS points higher
than Saturdays close.
The shorts at no time made any
great impression on prices by their
selling. Statistics were too strong a
weapon in the hands OF the bulls, and
during the second. half Of the session
prices, while rumor had it that they
were quietly covering.
The trading of the earlier hours was
Spectacular enough. At the opening the
trader. who is supposed TO be the
chief bear IN the local ring, hurried
thousands uDon thousa nds Of bales
at the longs. The leading bull was as
calm and confident as ever. ana his
trading was tranquil and the course Of
the market was shaped, and prices
went up point by point under skillful
hands. One broker bid 13.70c for 100, 900
bales of March. Many small lots were
thrown at him on these bids and his
aggregate purchases amounted TO sew
eral thousand bales. His bidding and
buying showed. according to the gen.
eral opinion. that the bull clique has
made preparations to take on an i'm
mense quantity Of actual cotton on
March deliveries.
The market closed quiet and steady
with prices shaved down somewhat by
extensive realizing on the part Of
these traders, who did not care to car
ry contracts over night.
