go,ls How He Was Hanged al a spy

Once.
R.v. j. r.. Mann, Of Jackson. Miss.
an ex. Confederate enjoys the dlatinn.
tlJn OF being Ghe only sV.dter OF the
Southern army who was hanged for q
spy and still lives to tell the story.
Mr. Mann vas o member Of Oompa
ny O, Third Louisiana Battalion, and
his thrilling story Of how he was hang.
ed as q O)nfed crate spy I Jrms of
the most interesting incident Is of the
OWL War. In April, 1864, Mr.. Mann
who was then with his company a.
B%arrancas, Fla, volunteered to set
fire to q powder mage ne of the Fed.
eral troops In order that the Confed.
crate beseiging forces could make o
surprise attack during the confusion
The peril0us task was undertaken
after midnight.
Under cover Of darkness, Mr.. Mann
crept close enough to throw a bale Of
burning Irvine, stepped IN turpentine
Into the building whore the explo
ives were kept, and The burning ball
ell short Of the mark and misstd Its
deadly mission.
Mann was chased by the Federal
sentinols and captured. When q
ried to camp the in fuvn!ated t-oopa,
who had b zen aware of their narrow
escape from being blown to atoms
made haste to hang him. A NJ ose
was placed ab ut his neck, one end OF
the rope throw II over the PR ,otipg
jOiSt Of a b aiding apd the prisoner
hoisted into the air. When life was
apparently tx.lnct, a Vermont officer
ordered his body cut down.
A controversy then arose among tht
troops, some claiming that the wrong
man had been hanged, and an Effort
was made to r~esuscltate Mann. After
working diligently for two hours, thu
prisoner was brought blck to life an6
kept In custody u It'll the cloBe Of the
war.
Mann still bears scars on his nrcl
Showing where the flesh was TEN b
the rope, and in describing the av /
ordeal he says that his ii tst sensa
tion felt when ,rkei from the groune
was that akin to standing near 8
steam boiler explosion. Afterward,
the sedsation Of friRh fll pain passed
away and before lasping into uncoun'
seriousness he began to hear sou d, of
the most enhancing music.
He was tried by court M artial as a
spy, after the capture, but the tribu
nal could not establish his identity.

A r1EHDrsM ATTACK.
A Lady Attacked IN Hex Home BY q

A Lady Attacked In Hex Home BY q
Brute.
Tho Atlanta Journal says Mrs.
Mamie May Duprea, nineteep years
old, vas khooa9d down and rendered
n onscious and her throat slightly
cut Tuesday afternoon OF last week
by q negro In the kitchen of II. II.
Grogan. on the Jonesboro road, near
Cornell. The negro escaped and a
posse OF blood hounds belonging to
the federal prison, and the CITY and
county police are on his trail.
DR.. q. o. Smith, who was called In
to attend the young woman found her
unconsci us and bleeding from q
slight wound In the throat, Mrs. Du
pree Is not seriously hurt and will re-.
cover.
To DR.. Smith Mrs. Dupree said she
did not remember the appearance of
the negro. She did not state to the
doctor whether she was criminally as.
saulted or whether an attempt of that
kind had been made. 1t is believed
however, that this was the attempt
OF Gne negro.
Mrs. Dupree's husband is not the
city just now, and she had besn living
at the home Of II. II. Grogan.
Accounts Of the time when the at.
tack occurred differ, but 1t Is thought
that 1t happened about $50 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
MIS-. Dupree had started to the
kitchen on al GRAND. Turning then
to go back into the house she was
confronted suddenly by q negro who
dealt her a blow In the FOREHEAD. She
was knocked fat ON the fl oor and
there lay unconscious until other wo
mon in the house who had doubtless
heard her scream when she fell ran to
her assistance,
They found MrS. d ,pree In q state
Of stupor and bleeding from a wound
In her throat, evidently inflicted from
a knife, or some sharp instrument.
Mrs. Dupree was picked up and
borne into a room, later Or, Smith
was summoned. He tried to 9 Inn the
young woman who had b G me hyster
iCal and examined the wound on hel
threat found that it was not serious.

Ter had engaged In q pistol duel.
There Is no way to ASCERTAIN the
cause Of the tragedy. Young Miller

Elk IRA TERMS OF COURT.
Discussion on the Subject
In the Senate.

In the Senate.
The bill to repeal the statutory pro
vision for the holding Of extra terms
of c urt by special judges was opposed
by Senator Raysor. Notwithstanding
two extra circuits, yet members of
Counties are still calling for such
courts. Generally they are unsatis.
factory and costly, but 1t Is manda-
tory In the constitution to provide for
them, he said.
Senator MCGOWAN read the consti.
tutional provision making 1t plain
that such courts cannot be abolished
Besides there Is necessity for them.
Lynching Is sometimes Justified be-
cause of the inffequepcl Of courts and
With more of them mob violence could
be more expediently banded.
Senator Blease Of Newberry favor
ed the bill. There Is too much expense
connected with extra courts and IL
regular judges cannot do the work
otners ought to have their places.
Much of the fault lies In judges not
forcing cases to trial. Az to extra
courts for %lynching, he said he didn't
think the necessity would ever arise
Ia Newberry. In such cases the great
jury Of the people would act. They
would be right to aot, and 81 would
help them"
Senator Blake say no necessity for
extra courts, and scored the lawyers
freely for neglecting to prepare their
cases and bring them to trial.
Senator Hudson opposed the bill.
In the course Of his remarks he dc.
clared that judges were entirely too
lenient with lawyers, too accommo-
dating and too often seeking the good
Will OF the bar rather than looking
after the real business OF courts. The
dilatory methods now o custom are @
shame to the state and the profession.
SO long as judges indulge lawyers In
loHg-winded speeches and dilatory
tactics 80 long will business be delay.
e6. Reformation Is sadly needed, but
this bill will not accomplish the pur.
pose.
Senator Hudson said lawyers need
ed discipline and the courts needed
judges who would take hold of the
retns. He has the greatest respect
for The bench add bar, but there 10 o
oryirg need for reformation.
BY q vote of 20 to IL tho senate Ia.
definitely postponed the bill.

Experience OF Aged and
Wolf Beloved Preacher.


No other man In the community Is
so Well-belOved or whose words have
such weight as the minister, who has

re commended RHEUMACiDE. He

Likelihood of Hard Fight
Against Measure in
the House.

That passs ge of meat inspection legis-
lation is not TO be secured without
hght was made plain to the President
and his close advisers today. when word
reached the leaders OF the movement
that Speaker Cannon is weakening and
that Chairman Wadsworth of the House
Committee on Agriculture is violently
opposed TO the inspection bill
Chairman Wadsworth's position is not
doubtful or uncertain He has declared
himself in unquestionable terms 10 be
against the Legislation He is a great
stock raiser in the Genesee valley OF
New York, and fearful that the Ameri-
can meat industry will be damaged by
tne recognition which legislation would
give TO the allegations that have been
made. He believes there has been great
eNaggeration and Sensationalism in the
stories that have become public since
the publication OF The Jungle"
