RAP|ST SWINGS.
Will Robinson, Who Attempted d
to Assault Two White
ladies, Pays Death
Penalty.

Will Robinson, the negro who
attempted an assault upon two
white ladies near Reform, Ala,
last Tuesday afternoon, was cap
tured near >Gordo the same night.
and on the night following was
hanged to tree in "Lubbub'
swamp. a dark and dismal stretch
which gets its name from the
creek which traverses it.
Only the most meagre particu-
lars are obtainable, as the citi-
zens of the neighborhood seem
prone to keep the affair quiet and
are therefore very reticent upon
the subject. A Commercial re-
porter made an earnest offOrt to
secure a statement from some
one who was familiar with the
details of the lynching and the
circumstance surrounding it..
This effort, however, proved un-
successful, and the only informa-
ton that it was possible to obtain
was from rumors, which may or
may not be true.
These rumors are to the effect
that a posse of citizens overpow-
cred the sheriff and secured the
prisoner, whom they took to the
swamp nearby and swung to a
tree, the sheriff having remained
securely tied during the entire
procedure.
1t is said that the negro denied
his guilt to the last, claiming that
he did not assault the ladies and
made no attempt to do so. He
however, that he was
d u n k when he accosted the
ladies, and it is therefore hardly
probable that he remembers very
what he said or did.

Obituary..

The eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. G. Oden, sweetly fell asleep
and went home to, God in the
early morning of June 9th.
There was JOY in heaven when
the Master said: "It is enough,
come up higher. $50 close did his
life bring us to God that bending
low and listening we could al
most hear the angels voices sing
ing welcome home as the gates
were opened to receive his sin
less soul. The loneliness is an
awful thing because he is gone.
But would we call him back. No.
There is sorrow here. there's
sufferings and heartaches, there
is sin.
Rest thou sinless one, watch
beside the gates until thy loved
ones have toiled a few days,
a few years longe
and then thou canst welcome
them in to be with thee forever.
Parents and friends pleaded with
God to spare the little one, but
while His ways are past finding
out thew are best.
He had something infinitely
better than we were able to give
him.
May God uphold the sorrowing
loved ones. He is nigh unto
the heart broken, and our
hearts shall be touched with
tenderest emotions as long as
memory or Imagination brings to
view simple thing he loved.
How can we refrain from ex-
pressing our sorrow, no more to
hear his merry voice or gentle
footsteps, never more on this side
of the dark river to tell him face
to face that we loved him, seems
to be more than we can bear.
Yet we bow in humble submis-
sion to God and say, Thy will be
done.
Dear little Homer, like a flow
or of the season seemed. | won-
der if he is really dead, or is it
a dream? He is not dead, but
liveth far beyond the sky, where
every tear of sorrow is wiped
from every eye.

"
pie have been centered on the
great National Democratic Con-
vention which has been in ses-
sion in st. Louis during the past
/ week, and the interest manifest
ed by the people of Columbus in
/ its deliberations has been most
/ intense. Mr.. M. Ii. Yerby, the
efficient manager Of the local Off
ice of the Postal Telegraph Co.
got the news as fast as it was
sent out from st. Louis, and hun
dreds of people gathered in front
of the Postal office in the Column
bus Theater building to read the
bulletins as they We're posted.
AS had been given out before
the convention assembled, Hon.
John Sharp Williams, of Missis-
sippi, was made temporary chair
man, and opened the convention
with a ringing speech which was
loudly applauded and which met
with unstinted praise from both
press and public. Senator Bailey,
of Texas, was slated for perma-
nent chairman of the convention,
but declined to serve, giving as
reason therefor that he wanted to
be on the floor in order that he
might take an active part in the
different questions which came
up for discussion. The position
of permanent chairman was then
offered to Hon. Champ Clark, of
Missouri, who accepted it, and
who proved TO be a most efficient
presiding officer.
W. ]. Bryan, who is never so
we'll satisfied as when listening to
his own voice, gained the floor
Thursday afternoon and haran-
gued the convention for several
hours, urging the adoption of the
minority report on the Illinois |
contest. Mr.. Bryan was wound |
up for a long speech, and it was
quite a while before he sat down,
but it did not take the convention
long to sit down upon him, as the
motion to adopt the minority re-
port was lost by vote of CAT 10
289.
Tt is strongly limited that in the
event that both the p a f or m
adopted by the convention and
the candidate finally selected are
not acceptable to Bryan that he
will bolt the party, and when
questioned upon this subject in
his room in the Jefferson hotel
the Nebraskan refused to either
affirm or deny the accusation.
The question was put bluntly to
him, and he replied "Nobody
will know until this convention
is over whether I bolt the demo-
cratic ticket
There is no denying the fact
that Bryan possesses a great deal
Of personal magnetism and that
he is an impassiOned and eloquent
speaker, but his oratory is. of that
sensational and semi -theatric
character which appeals to the
masses rather than the classes,
and though the gallery shook
with appliance at his utterances
the delegates sat unshaken and
anmoyed. Bryan has twice led
the party to overwhelming and
ignominous defeat, and it is non-
5ensical for him to expect its
members to still maintain faith in
him and support him in his vain
and imaginary theories, which
