BURNED FOR FOUL CRIME.
Extreme Penalty for Negro Who AS
saulted a Young Girl.

.Chicasha, |. IA negro who COM
mitted a criminal assault upon the l6-
year-old daughter Of Ira Robertson,
near Womack, was captured last night,
and after being taken back to the scene
Of his crime was hanged and burned
near the spot where he committed the
deed. He confessed and offered no re-
s]istance to the mob.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock this morning
when the Robertson home was reached
and the negro was brought before the
assaulted girl.
"That's the one" said she at once,
and the negro replied: Yes, lady, I'm
the one. Gentlemen, | admit the crime"
The mob then proceeded with their
victim past the spot where he had com
mitted the crime and to a tree near the
road, whore u rope was thrown over q
limb and the other end knotted about
the mans neck. He was given an 0ppor-
tunity to speak, and again confessed
his guilt, and after fervent prayer to
God for forgiyness he was drawn into
the air to die of strangulation. Before
life was extinct the body vas lowered to
the ground and logs and brush were
heaped upon it and the mass ignited.
For a moment the body writhed, a few
grOans were heard and the flames COM
Dletel the work.

teen railroads operating in the State, ten

cent. in the five years. The tax on these
utilities in 1900 was, with privilege tax
added, $205, 8S3; in 1905 it was $751;

MANGLED TO DEATH IN WRECK
TRAIN JUMPED THE TRACK,
KILLING TWENTY-SEVEN.
While Going at a Mile a Minute,
the Train Crashed Into q Bridge,
and Split Into Kindling.

Salisbury, Eng Driving at a mad
pace over the London Southeastern
railway, the American Line express,
carrying 43 Of the steamer New York's
| passengers from Plymouth to London,
plunged from the track just after pass
ing here at 1857 o'clock this morning
and mangled to death in its wreckage
twenty-three passengers who sailed
from New York June %, and four Of
the trainmen.
The locomotive jumped the track,
and, ploughing up the rails, crashed
into a freight train, The engine
mounted the girders Of the railroad
bridge over the river Avon and turned
turtle. The first coach shot past the
locomotive and crashed into the rail-
way bridge and was smashed into
splintcrs. The second and third pas
senger cars were toppled over on the
line and completely destroyed.
The darkness and Incredible destruc-
ton made the work Of rescue exceed
ingly difficult. The station was con-
Verted into a surgery and the platform
was made a mortuary. Several of the
dead and injured were imprisoned in
compartments, and it was necessary to
saw away the partitions in order to eff
feet their release. Others were caught
under heavy wrcckage. Several Of the
bodies were badly mangled and n
woman was decapitated.

BEST WEEK or SEASON.
Crops Greatly Benefited by Timely
Rains, Which Were General.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from the
cotton crop for the past week denote q
very material Improvement because Of
rain. The crop up to the time of the
rain was remarkably clean, the soil was
in good condition, and the moderate
rainfall was of the very greatest bene-
fit. Because the rainfall was nowhere
heavy or long continued the excellent
cultivation has been kept up and a few
correspondents report that the crop is
being "laid by" Farmers are quite
generally hopeful over the outlook.
Many correspondents report that the
plant is small, but in all cases it is maxi
ing good growth, has an excellent APP
pearance, is termed "stocky,n and is
fruiting well. The excellent weather
for cultivation has made the question
of labor much less acute and no aban-
donment Of fields on account of this or
any other reason is reported.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
Horticulturists to Meet.

The horticulturists of the State are
going to hold a meeting during the early
autumn for the purpose OF making an
insistent demand that the next Legisla-
ture enact a fruit pest law that will pre-
yent the importation of diseased and
infested nursery stock. Wholesale COM
plants are being heard over the State
that a great deal of the nursery stock
shipped in during the winter and spring
months was infested with the San Jose
scale and other pests, and is Of little or
no value. At present the State is abso-
lutely without protection from diseased
nursery stock, and as a result the fruit
trees rejected in other States are dumped
into Mississippi. At the last legislative
session the lower house passed a fruit
pest law, in response to the memorial
from the Mississippi Horticultural So
ciety, but the measure was pigeon-holed
in the Senate Committee on Agriculture,
and did not receive consideration on the
floor Of that body.

city last winter attracted widespread
attention. Halberstadt was at one

or A GREAT REVOLUTION

Terre Haute, Ind.-At the gradua

1.-THE American people are on the
verge Of a great revolution, great and
sudden economic and social changes
These changes will restore the equal
rights of men and the happiness Of
the people. Most of the progress Of
the age is due to evolution, slow and

when conditions are so hardened that

rendered by the Mississippi Supreme
Court in the case of Morris VS.. Brook

in the lower court on demurrer filed by

this decision, stated that in legal pro-

more than mere form, and that the courts
must not give too much heed to hyper
criticism and ov]erstrained technical CON
struction; that the case should have been
submitted to the jury to ascertain the
