THURSDAY, APRIL 80. 1903.

Nor long since it was our sad
privilege to see a young man Just
IN the bloom OF usefulness stand
up before court of Justice and
plead guilty 10 the charge Of muir
dering in cold blood one who was
closely bound TO him by families
ties, assigning as the only cause
Tor his committing this terrible
crime the fact that he was under
the influence of whiSkey at the
time. Following the confession
one of the young mans lawyers
arose and stated TO the court that
lie families and attorneys of all
parties concerned had gotten to-
gether and agreed to compromise
the matter by giving the unfort-
unate prisoner term of years in
the state prison, believing that
justice would be fully melted out
to him by SO doing. Not a sound
could DO heard in the room, pack
eel with people, while the brilliant
attorney talked in a most tender
manner OF the young mans past
and future life and many ayes
were bedimmed with tears before
he concluded. And when the
sase ordered the prisoner to
stand up to receive the verdict Of
eleven and 4 half wears death-like
silence prevailed and it is proba-
bic that many others in the court
room felt rs we did-that this was
the saddest scene of eyes ever be-
held. Considering our own faults
and failure it hardly becomes us
Lo lecture anyone along this line,
put 1t IS tact that this is one case
~Dogc wbiskey was to blame for
The breaking Of many heart
and there are many more cases on
record. Young man, take heed!

Judge Boykin had been in bad

dangerously i'll for several weeks.
during which two surgical opera
tons were performed. An attack
Of pneumonia was followed by
pleurisy, and his lungs we're ia
tally affected.
Judge Boykin is survived nv b;e

The passing of Judge Boykin

personality. In politics he was a
valiant foe or a loyal friend. He
fought OF high planes, but he was
as uncompromising As he was

friends as he was patriotic to his
cOuntry--a much beloved states

CONSIDERABLE complaint is be-

ermen against the down thc-river

LEFT TRAIL OF DEATH.
About $50 Persisted in Fright
full Southern Storm.
THE INJURED NUMBER 1900.

HOOut $50 hVeS were wiped out
and at least 200 persons were
seriC usly injured aud millions of
dollars of damage caused by the
series OF terrific tOrnadoes that
swept over the Gulf States. OF
the injured it Is expected that not
less than 100 will succumb to
their hurts.
The storm started in Texas and
Oklahoma with winds of hurri-
cane fury which swept eastward.
In the Mississippi valley it reach
ed ITS most terrifying proportions
when it broke up into a number
Of gigantic whirlwinds. These
swept down upon town after town
in Mississippi. Louisiana, Ala
6ama, Georgia and Arkansas,
desOlating wherever they touched.
A number of small villages were
demolished in western Mississippi
early Friday morning. and seven
hours later the towns Of Purvis.
Miss, and Amity, La. 100 miles
apart, were destroyed. with great
loss of life.
Albertviile, Ala, was partly de-
molished late in the afternoon
and it was not until next morning
that Rome and Griffin, Ga, were
struck and damaged.
From the Texas border to
middle Georgia the path OF DESC
lation extends, zigzagging from
north to south, and marked at ir-
regular intervals by scenes of
utter devastation. Over some
areas it leaped without damage
and almost unnoticed, and others
1t swept clear OF everything.
In places it denuded hillsides of
grass and shru3bery and stripped
evergreen tees completely Of
their foliage. In towns thicklv
settled by negroes it wrought
greatest havoc. The picturesque
darby cabins, noted for their
tiimsy, happy-go-lucky construc-
ton, had been converted by the
wind into Wholesale death-traps.
1t was in the fall of these cabins.

warning, that most Of the negro
deaths occurred.

UP men and women from the
streets and carried them away, to

sometimes picked up and carried
whole for a distance and then
shattered to pieces hundreds of
feet above the earth.
Mississippi i bore the brunt Of
the storm. Reports from that
State Indicate that the less of
life will be by far the greatest
within her borders. Estimates of
the number of those who lost
their lives as a result of tornadoes
in Mississippi place the death list
at I59, with $50 injured.
In Texas. Louisiana, Aiabs ma
and Georgia the death lists are
also large, with loss Of life in
Arkansas and Tennessee. A par
tial summary of the dead and in
