CRIMINALS OF DEEPEST DYE.
Such Were the Parties Lynched by
Mob at Waskinsville.

Mr.. S. W. Bailey, Of Athens, Ca.
tells thrilling story that throws
light on the character OF some Of the
parties that went to their death few
days since at the hands Of the Wat
kinsville mob. The story as told by
Mr., Bailey indicates that these parties
must have at the time OF it's occur
renee been planning ju:t such muir
der as In the case Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Holbrcoks.
Mr.. Bailey kept store on the Scull
Shoals road, a few miles from Wat
kinsville, and near the scene OF the
Holbrook tragedy. He moved from
there to Athens last January. One
night about four years ago Mr.. Bailey
says that four negroes came to his
store about ten O'Clock and in the
number were Rich and Lewis R5b:n.
son, two OF the negroes who killed the
Holbrooks couple.
His wife was in the store, and they
attempted in many ways to find out
where she kept her money, by asking
her to change a twenty dollar bill.
She suspected danger and called to
her husband. The negroes went out.
Mr.. Bailey got his pistol and sat down
in the rear OF the store. They came
back again, and saw him there and
then left.
Last December, just before Christ
mas, negro named Wiley Durham
came to the store about midnight and
wanted MI. Bailey to get up and 60
into the store to sell him some arti-
cles. he was told that it was too late
to open the store and that he couldn't
get what he wanted. BE was accom-
panied by another man, and when Mr..
Bailey went to the window and looked
out be recognized that man as Lon j..
Aycock, the white man who was shot
to death by the mob a few nights
since In Watkinsv,lle.
Mr.. Bailey had just sold his farm
and was was getting ready to go to
and at that time be had the
money realized from the sale OF his
farm in his house.
The negro who was With Ayccck at
that time was one Of the negroes at
one time suspected OF the Holbrook
but later on released. Mr..
Bailey is satisfied that he would have
had trouble had he opened bis store at
that time.

Suicfded in Jail.

At Washington, Edward Green, q
negro, an inmate Of the United States
District Jail, committed suicide by
hanging himself to the window bars In
his cell by means Of an handkerchief
and q twel. The authorities at the
iail are Of the belief that the man
ended his life because he was despon-
dent, brought on by his confinement
and because Of the knowledge that
long sentence was awaiting him when
he would be tried.

Or in dry hay, a little over tons
per acre. This plant, introduced some
years since through California, Is now
being largely grown through all the
Middle Western States, and in 1903
Texas is reported to have planted ESQ.,
900 acres.
It is regarded as Of so much impor.

R. e. Smith, Of Sherman, is the
president, and E. q. Peters, Ct Cal
vert, is the secretary. Mr.. Smith Is
the largest grower OF alfalfa in Texas,
having this year l, 200 acres under cul'
tivation, as shown In the report pub
lishe1 in The News and Courier on
Goth instant.
1t has been proved by the crops
grown at the Experiment Station that
It can be grown in the State to ad.
vantage, as crops Of the last three
years are now growing, as well as that
Of 1900. The official returns show
that in 1908 the importation in and
through Charleston for the first seven
months Of Eastern and Western hay
averaged In value over $4,000 pei
month, much OF which will not com
pare with alfalfa hay for stock Of all
kinds. The Agricultural Society OF
South Carolina has decided to offer a
prizs OF one hundred (sl0O) dollars for
the best outturn Of sound, dry, alfalfa
hay on five acres, and fifty dollars tor
the best on one acre, cut and cure
during the year 1906.
AS the early fall is the best season
for planting alfalfa in the South
(about the last Of September, and as
theland requires thorough preparation
before planting, as well as high ferti-
lization, the best means to accomplish
this is to SOW the land with cow peas
With heavy application of fertilizers,
which should be done at this time.
All persons who desire to enter this
competition should send their names
and addresses to Mr.. J. Backman
Chisolm, 81 Broad street, Charleston,

tiou for the cultivation and saving OF
alfalfa. 1t should be noted that
though alfalfa is delicate, and needs
care during the first year, that once
established on the land, it will con.
tinue to give heavy crops for many
years without replanting.
The secretary OF the Agricultural
Society will be pleased to furnish all
details In connection with these pre-
miums and the awarding Of same.
Those who desire to compete must
give their address, stating If they de,

A Memory OF June.

Somewhere. a1own the stream Of Time,
Amid the isles OF June, I know,
A day is anchored, over which
The sweetest winds OF momory
blow.
The earth was vestnred as a bride,
In richestgdies and brightest bloom;
The plushing breeze that kissed her
cheek
Was slumberous with it's rich per-
fume.
White clouds sailed slowly Ger the
deep
Of heavens blue, serenely still,
And not a sound of discord broke
The harmony of Natures will.
Yet, faint and far, through leafy
aisleS,
Was heard the wood-bird's mellow
call
The tapping sound of woodland stream,
Or ripping laugh OF waterfall.
O. friend, who stood with me that day,
Do you recall the matches morn
When, from the Leather tome, for US
One white, red-lettered page was
torn
Hands clasping hands, heart spoke to
heart,
In language all unknown It'll then,
And from their Undine sleep our souls
Awoke to dreams, how mad! How
vain!
/ Know not what life holds for you
Our ways were parted long ago;
And far, DER painless seas, our souls
Have drifted with the ebb and flow
Yours may have reached some shelter
ed bay
And, anchored safe in sunny cove, :
Have long since ceased to think OF
Blest by some happy, heartsome
love.
While I, the sport of idle waves,
Toss still in Oceans stormy strife;
Far, far from rest and peace; for me,
Love is the saddest thing in life.
Yet, anchored in those "isles OF
bloom"
That sweet June heyday fingers yet
And time, nor change, nor lapsing
hours
Can ever cause its sun to set.

The Bridge.

LILO oCIVSts
This popular poem was first called
"The Bridge Over the Charles" by
its author, Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow, (born 1907, died 1882 The
title appears to have become abbrevi-
ated through hts own habit OF refer
ring to it, for greater convenience, as
"The Bridge" The bridge, which is
the subject OF the poem was the old
one, known as West Boston bridge,
located at the foot Of Cambridge
street, az d now in process OF dsmoli-
tion, to make way for a modern one.
In Longfellow's youth the bridge was
probably more generally resort for
moonlight ruminators, comparatively
speaking, than 1t has been OF late
years, for then, the only means Of
transportation to and from Boston
was coach, and, as the fare was 25
cents, comparatively few people rode.
All that is known OF the genesis Of
The Bridge" is found in Longfel-
lows diary. where, under date 'of
O:tober 9. 1S45, he records having
finished it that forenoon, and again,
on October II, mentions having final-
ly retouched it.
I stood on the bridge at midnight,
AS the clocks were striking the hour,
And the moon rose over the city,
Behind the dark church tower.
I saw Ter bright reflection
In the waters under me,
Like golden goblet falling
And sinking into the sea-
And as far as in the hazy distance
OF that lovely night in June,
The blaze of the flaming furnace
Cleaned redder than the moon.
Among the long. black rafters
The waverilg shadows lay
And the current that came from the
ocean
Seemed to lift and bear them away;
AS, sweeping and eddying through
them,
Rose the belated tide,
And, streaming into the moonlight,
The seaweed fo.sted wide.
And like those waters rushing,
Among the wooden piers,
A flood of thoughts came DER me
That filed my eyes with tears.
How often, O how often,
In the days that had gone by,
had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and SKY!
How often, o how often,
had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on it's bosom
Der the ocean wild and wide!
For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full Of care,
And the burden laid upon me
| Seemed greater than could bear.
But now it has fallen from me,
It is buried in the sea;
And only the sorrows Of others
Throws it's shadow over me.
Yet whenever cross the river
On it's bridge with wooden piers,
Like the Odor Of brine from the ocean,
Comes the thought OF other years.
And I think how many thousands
OF care-encumbered men,
Each bearing his burden Of sorrow,
Have crossed tht bridge since then.
I see the long procession
Still passing to and fro,
The young heart hot and restless
And the old subdued and slow!
And forever and forever,
AS long as the river flows,
AS long as the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes;
The moon and its broken reflection
And it shadow shall appear,
AS the symbol OF love in heaven,
And it's WaVering image here.
