NEGROES LYNCHED Iy GEORGIA
Outraged a FOurtcen-Year-Old White
Girl-Paid Penalty Promptly.

Waycross, Ga, June 27.-Just at
sundown this afternoon two negroes
were lynched by mob of at least
one thousand persons. The lynching
occurred on the eastern outskirts Of
the city. The negroes were Walter
wilkins and Albert Baker, who were
brought here this morning from
Wayne county, one of them charged
with criminally assaulting the four
teen-year-old daughter of Wiley
Wainwright, Thursday evening.
The engroes were lodged in the
Ware county Jail during the day, and
late this afternoon were taken out
by Wayne county officers for . the
purpose of carrying them to Jesup
for safe keeping. Suddenly a rush
was made and dozen hands clasped
each officer and his gun. The ne
groes were jerked across the railroad
track and a hundred persons pounc-
ed upon them, others still holding
the guards.
For nearly half mile they con-
tinued to the first oak tree in the
old Cherokee nursery. Here an at
tempt was made to break the hand
cuffs which held the negroes to-
gether, but without avail. No one
had a rope, but a heavy trace chain
which was locked around one of the
negroes was broken apart and loop
was soon made around his neck
Some one mounted the tree and from
the first limb caught the end Of the
chain, tieing 1t around the limb,
| while others held the alleged assail-
ant about two feet from the ground.
The other negro, still handcuffed
to the body Of the hanging man,
stood with hands clasped around the
tree. The mob. stepping back about
ten PAGES, opened fire upon the men,
hundreds Of shots being fired into
the bodies.
Many tried to prevent the killing
OF the negro who was clasping the
tree, there being much doubt about
his connection with the outrage.
Nothing could be done with the en-
ragged mob After the lynching the
mob dispersed.
The criminal assault occurred near
the home of Wiley wainwright last
Thursday evening. The gir' hId left
the house for the cowpen, zen she
was attacked by the negro. She was
taken to the woods nearby, her
screams failing to attarct any one at
the house. Here 1t is said, two other
negroes joined the first.
1t was II o'clock at night before
Mr.. Wainwright, accompanied by
neighbors, found her. She was ter
ribly bruised and mutilated.
A telegram received here tonight
announces the death of the little
Wainwright girl.

A MILLIONAIRE HUSBANDMAN.
How George w. Vanderbilt Makes
His Farm Pay.
broadway Magazine.o


At Biltmorc, in North Carolina.
George w. Vanderbilt has spent over
S2,OOO,OOO in creating the greatest
estate in America. He has torn down
a mountain, built a great castle and
owns II square miles of mountain
country. These miles, however, are
all under the most careful cultiva-
ton, either as farming, grazing or
timber lands.
The owner of Biltmore has the fac
ulty of picking the right men for the
right work. He induced "book far
mer" from Louisiana to come into the
Carolina mountains and take charge
Of the fields, fiocks and herds. That
was eleven years ago, and until Ar
thur S. Wheeler began riding up and
down the hills and through the bot
toms he had never known OF agricul-
ture except from the printed page.
He tested the soil Of the few little
worn-out plantations on the estate,
and examined the hill sides. He
brought into play his knowledge of
fertilizing the earth, Of crop rotation,
OF the fodder and grain which might
grow here, and especially Of the live
stock which might thrive and yield a
profit. He decided that high grade
Jersey cattle would pay in milk and
butter, also hogs and poultry, and
that the product of the soil should
be first for their benefit. So the
bare hills became pastures and lots
for the swine to range, ample shelter
being, Of course, provided. The
poultry farm was stocked with record
egg layers of high degree, also pig
cons, for squads are profitable. Mod
ern incubators Matched chickens by
the hundreds. Everything, however,
was conducted on strictly business
lines. Each Jersey cow has her own
stall and page in the dairy record.
Every time she Is MIXED the number
Of quarts she gives Is marked on the
record, as Is also the butter test
the quantity of butter which the
cream would make. All the ensilage
and other fodder she eats in a day
are debited against her. When a hen
In the poultry house wants to con-
tribute to the egg fund she enters a
trap" nest by which she shuts a gate
which keeps her prisoner until the
poultry keeper finds her. He looks
at the number on the leather band
around her neck, takes the egg, and
| then releases her. Each hen also
has record page according to her
number and the number Of eggs she
lays in a month or year or her life
are noted on the books at the farm
office.
Seventy-five farm hands are needed
for all purposes, including the milk
ing, which Is done by hand. The
creamery has such a mechanical sys-
tenn that in it three men prepare over
1000 quarts Of milk daily, in bottles,
In butter and in ice cream, the yield
OF the cows ranging from eight to
fifteen quarts or more a day. The
Asheville people who boast Of having
Vanderbilt for milkman have to
pay ] cents quart as 1t comes from
the shiny yellow wagons bearing the
sign "Biltmore Dairy" and think 1t
Is cheap.
