sented Order For Prisoner.
a dispatch from Louisville, Ca.
says Vincent Williams, the negro
whe shot Mr.. r. G. Brown at his
home near that place few night ago
from which injury he died few
days later in Augusta, was brought
from Macon by unknown parties
Monday night and hung about one
mile from town on the Warrenton
road near the pauper farm.
No one in the town ever knew that
a lyuching was in progress, so quiet
y were the plans corried out.
Carroll Jones, rs-:rncrting to be an
officer, presented I order for the
prisoner to the jaiior at Macon, where
Williams had been confined for safe
keeping since his capture, stating
Sheriff Smith sent him there and, Sc
cured the negro. The man who re-
presented himself as an officer stated
that a special term of the court had
been called to try Williams but no
one there had heard anything of it.
Williams was found dangling from
the end Of rope with couple Of
bullet wounds in his breast People
living within hundred yards Of the
scene knew nothing of it until next
moring.
This is the first lynching in Jefer-
son county in forty-two years and
occurred within thirty steps Of where
the last lynching occurred. Williams |

Agrees with Senator Tillman.

In commenting on the race riot Al
Springfield. Illinois, the Augusta
Chronicle says ''the: characteristics
of the Anglo-Saxon race--the de.
| termination to protect the purity Of
its blood and the supremacy Of its
institutions---cannot be eradicated
by the mouthings of political dema-
gogues and academic social reform
ers. Social equality is an inevitable
corallary Of political equality and at
the first isjgn Of an effort on the
part of the negro to assert this
social eqality, orwhenever there
there is an act Of Violence born
of these crazy aspiration, ven-
geance as swift and sure as fate will
rise up to smite them and to assert
the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon
race,
What a calamity it is that these
lessons are not lasting and that the
political demagogues and incendi-
aries who nourish false and impossi-
bic hopes in the heart of the negro,
to his own destruction, do not rea
lie and put into practice the obvi-
Gus fact, written in lurid characters
that the only true friend eff the n.
gro is he who makes it clear to him
once for all, that the political equal
ity which has debased and ensnared
him must be taken from him abso-
|utely and completely before the
IDEAS Of a social equality which it |
has wrought his destruc. I
lion, after a reign Of terror" This
IS exactly the position Of Senator
Tillman on the race question. for
which he has been so soundly a.
oused.

The Only Difficulty.

who won limericks and things, and
some OF his talents he turned to
the enlightenment of his fellow
townsmen.
His first serious erort in this d..

this subject being chosen probably
because Slocum is an inland tow,

A dispatch from Topeka, Kan,
says that before an audience wh!cn
filed the Auditorium to oyerhowing
W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, Thursday night spoke
on the subject of Guaranty of Bank

The Democratic candidate and his
party arrived there early Thursday af-

Gratis Of the city and conducted to
the hotel in an automobile. Great
crowds greeted Mr. Bryan.
AS announced by him before his
departure from Kansas City; Mr.
Bryan, in view of the action of the
Kansas Republican State Convention
which endorsed the guaranty of bank
deposits, made some remarks supple
mentary to MS prepared speech OF
that subject. He took up the ad'
vantages Of the guaranty system
and then answered the objection:
made to it by Mr.. Taft and others
He began by asking why the deposi

National Government demanded Sc
curity of any bank with which 1t de

the choice between the po stal saving:

HOT TINES IN ANDERSON.
Popcorn Popped by the Excessive
Heat While on Stalk in Field.

Manager F. W. Andrews, of the
Western Union Telegraph company
has left at this Office an ear of pop
corn on which there are a dozen or
more grains which have been popped
on the stalk during the excessive heat
of the past few days. There are
several ears Of the corn in his field
which show the popped grains, and
much interest mas been manifested
by those who nave seen it.
1t has often been said by those
who suffered most from heat that it
sometimes get hot enough to cook an
egg in the sand, but less heat is
necessary for this than for the pop
ping of corn. and it is doubtful if
those who make such assertions
themselves believe that they are
founded on truth. There is no one
who can fully explain why the corn
is popped, and those who see it are
puzzled.
The best explanation possibly is
given by Mr.. Andrews himself, who
says he believes the popping of the
corn was brought about by steam.
In a number of the ears the cob ex-
tends out of the shuck and on the
end there are fully matured grains,
showing the corn to be of very
hardy variety. Mr.. Andrews says it
is his opinion that water has gone
down into the shuck through the open
end, and that the steam formed by
the excessive heat has brought about
the change in the corn.-Anderson
