is "The Tale of the Wasp by Mr..

in ensemble work. Another song
that is enjoying an unusual degree of
popularity is THE Flag of the U.

against them, Besides the indict.
ments for arson and ouse-breaking
these boys also are indicted for chick
an stealing and will plead guilty,
which will lengthen their sentences
in the penitentiary.
In the last four years Scottsvlle
has had destroyed over 100000
worth of property of incendiary ORR
gin. The people were determined tc
stop 1t, and had not the juries in
each case gave the offenders the
highest penalty the negroes would
have suffered at the hands of mob
violence. As it is, they seem to be
satisfied and there is no thought that
mob will attempt TO interfere with
the law in the case of these negroes.
