TELLS WHY MOTHER WROTE
UNCLE TOMS CABIN"

NEW YORK, June THE Rev. DR..
Charles Edward Stowe. related to a large
number of wealthy members of the
Church OF the Ascension, told last night
how his mother came to write Uncle
Toms Cabin" ard when he concluded by
saying that Mrs. Stoves principal object
in writing the book was to obtain suffi-
cient money to found a negro educational
institution. in which she had failed, the
members of this Fifth avenue church
agreed to start a fund to carry out her
project.
"MySmother had always been deeply af-
fected by the stories of negro women
slaves being separated from their babies
by the auction sales and otherwise, and
one day in church the story of Uncle
Toms Cabin came to her as a vision"
raid DR.. Stowe. After church she came
home and wrote feverishly for several
hours. until she had finished that best
known chapter: The death of Uncle
Tom Then she called her six children
around her until they cried as much as
she did. Others read 1t and cried and then
her friends insisted that she should fin
ish the story.
My mother made little money out Of
Uncle Toms Cabin She received moth
ing for the foreign rights or for the dra-
matization. She had hoped to make
enough to start a school for negroes,
but the income was not sufficient"

NEGRO rs LYNCHED
BY FLORIDA MOB

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June 7.-Swing-
ing from a limb in the jail yard Sunday
morning, was the lifeless body Of Maik
Morris, a negro, who had been convicted
and sentenced to hang for the murder
of william Langston, late sherif o.
Leon county.
A lynching was thought probable at
the time of his conviction, but as the
day for execution had been set and the
gallows erected, thoughts of a lynch
ing banished. Lately Morris had been
acting crazv. refusing to eat, and cover
ing his head each time any one approach
ed him, so It is the consensus OF opinion
lynching was the fear of his being judged
insane, thereby staying execution.
On being interviewed. the Jailer stated
that about ! o'clock this morning some
one called from the gate. Thinking 1t
to be deputy with a prisoner, he came
down to take charge of the prisoner.
Opening the gate he looked squarely into
the barrel of a shotgun, and before he
could move, he was covered by five pis-
tolls. Being alone, he was absolutely
helpless, with nothing to do obey orders.
Taking Morris from the cell, the mob
then locked the jailer behind the bars,
and carried the prisoner out, where, at
ter swinging him by the neck from the
limb of a tree in the jail yard, they
fired one volley into his dangling form,
and escaped without apprehension.
The jailer said there were only fifteen
in the party, all masked and talked only
when absolutely necessary, then speaking
in pitched tones to disguise their voices.

MRS. POWELL PICKED
PECK OF BEANS

Mrs c. L. Powell, who lives at Il
Markham street, within a pebbles fling
of the Terminal station, went into her
garden Saturday morning and picked q
peck of beans. The incident has aroused
great interest in the neghborhood and
has given rise to no end of comment.
1t is no ordinary feat to pick a peck OF
beans within a pebbles fling of the Terfni-.
nal station, to gather table vegetables
on the 5th of June in the gathering center
of the Gate City of tie South. Other la
dies may have pickeO beans recently but
their gardens were not in the vicinity
of q Markham street; certainly not with-
in earshot of the whirring Terminal sta
ton. Mrs Powell on Friday morning.
June the 4th. picked half bushel OF
beans on that very same spot.
Flushed with a pardonable pride over
the precocity of her SOIL Mrs. Powell
went straight to the telephone and called
I'D ex-Councilman Steven c. Glass. of the
Fifth ward On being informed of what
had happened, the ex-councilmsn was
amazed.

'I can understand your astonishment."
said Mrs. Powell yesterday evening to a
representative of The Journal, because
II has not been generally known that
beans could be picked in the heart Of At

Then Mrs. Powell went on to explain
that the Atlanta climate and soil is capa-

Smith had been MORALLY shot through the
stomach by one of five men on the roof
OF the five-story tenement in which he
lived I'm East 102nd street, last night, he
pursued John McNally OF the street,
chased him three blocks and was admin

Smith then chased McNally back to the
roof and there cornered him and had him
almost unconscious from beating when
others interfered.
When the police came, Smith denied
that he was wounded, but they saw the
blood stains and insisted or taking him
to the hospital where the doctors said

NoRCROSS IS PLEASED
WITH ROAD WORK

NORCROSS, June 5.-Seeing that
DeKalb county will put Peachtree road
in frst-class condition to the Gwinnett
county line and within a few miles of
Norcross is agreeable news to the citi-
zens of this part of the county. The
convict force of Gwinnett county is
due to come to this district soon and
put in several months putting our
roads in good shape.
From Norcross to the DeKalb county
line very little grading will be neces-
sary, as the grades are not at all
steep-only a few small hills to take
off and some small changes to make.
STRENGTHENING the road in few places,
cutting out some railroad crossings,
making the road straighter and better.
Norcross is ready. as a town and as
citizens, to do all in their power In
putting the highway in frst-class con-
dition.
This route is the best most direct.
highest and dryest route out of Attain
Ia, being on the dividing ridge and
only a few small streams to cross,
none of the streams on this ridge
route ever becoming too high to cross
in safety, and few hills of any conse-
ouence to go up. Not only is this the
case from Atlanta to Norcross, but on
toward Gainesville the road is high,
dry ridge road. with few streams ana
hills to cross. Norcross being twenty
miles out of Atlanta. would naturally
be a good place for a stop-scenery
pleasant, water good and c. Id, right
from the earth; hotel facilities ample
to accommodate the travellers.

Is in favor of a large navy.

want more of them. We ought to be
building three or four Dreadnoughts ev-

should lay down ten Dreadnoughts at

started every year. I don't think that a

There are in the state over seven hun
bred banks, national, state and private
