SERMON ON ARROWS
Given BY Yeuell Last Even
ing---Great Lecture To-
night On Ben Hur.

Rev. Herbert Yeuell, of Washing
ton, D. c., will arrive in Hopkins
Vile on Thursday of this week and
on the night of the same day will
preach the first of a series of SER
mons in the Second Avenue Chris
tian church. He will preach daily
thereafter. The following from a
Connersville, Ind, paper (Mr. Yeu-
ell is preaching now in Connersville)
will indicate something of the power
with which this distinguished evan
gelist breaches:
Four persons were added to the
church at the big meeting last night,
Mr.. Yeuell selected his text from II
Kings xiii, Is. The prophet had adj
vised the discounted king of Israel
to smite upon the ground with the
arrows. The king smote three times
in a half.hearted way when he should
have smote the ground five or six
times. He fell short of his duty and
forfeited the victory which might
have been his.
With characteristic earnestness
Mr.. Yeuell suited the old Bible story
to persons of the present time and
appealed to his audience to go to the
end of thoir ability in rendering ODE
dience to the Lord. He declared that
men might befonvicted of sin and
yet fall short of becoming Christians
merely because they failed to per-
form their full duty by coming out
and confessing Christ. The dipping
of Naaman seven times into Jordan
was used to emphasize the necessity
of doing one whole duty. The sixth
time Naaman went down into the
Jordan and came up he was leper.
The seventh dip cured him.
Other striking illustrations were
used to bring out the thought. Mr..
Yeuell enlisted the cooperation of
of his audience at the beginning of
the service by having them quote
passages of Scripture. These pass
ages were briefly commented upon.
Will Stay Over Sunday.
Herbert Yeuell has accepted the
invitation to stay over Sunday and
wired the next place, Hopkinsville,
KY, to defer the meeting one week.

Try to Do Right.

If the criminal could have seen the
future as he afterwards saw the past,
his conduct would have been differ

to be haunted through life with con.

A Saint Would Be.

If there are those in Trigg county
who have been engaged in any of
the recent plant bed scrspings, in
the name Of common sense and your
own welfare, we beg you to stop.
The people are sick and tired Of the
troubles through which they have
gone during the past two years, and
those who engagein it now will bring
trouble upon their own heads and
eternal ruin to this part of the State.
The people want peace, sweet, eter-
nal and abiding peace, free from
midnight depreciation and the mar
tial tread of the uniformed soldier,
and it is the duty of every good cit
izen to labor to that end, and see to
it that this condition of affairs is
brought about.-Cadiz Record.

Let Violence Cease.

The Tobacco Planter views with
regret the tendency in certain sec
tions OF the dark tobacco district to
resort to force in keeping down the
crop of tobacco during the present
season. There was never a time
when steps of this nature were to
be condoned or to be backed up by
the public sentiment Of any commu.
nifty, and right now is certainly not
the occasion for any such measures.
Violence must cease, for a continu-
ance of it means that the Black
Patch will again come into notoriety
unpleasant and unwelcome.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
sentiment throughout the entire
dark tobacco district will be so Sc.
we're in it's opposition to force that
there will be an immediate discon.
tinuance of all forms Of violent
measures! We believe that this will
be the case and that whatever law
less acts are committed in the future
will be simply due to the ordinary
criminal element seeking to inspire
terror and conceal identity under
the General term of Night Riders"

They were not masked, but it is
claimed came from some other local
ity The large crowd was ordered
to stay behind, while the smaller
crowd took the negro to the place
where he was hanged.
The delay in holding the inquest
is ascribed to different causes. Coro-
ner Aliensworth claims that he was
not officially notified Of the finding
of the body until two o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, having understood
until that time that the hanging was
in Trigg county.

Inquest Held Over Body of
Ben Brame Sunday
Morning.
LYNCHING ORDERLY
Corpse Was Found Unmuti-
lated, Hanging Within Six
Inches of the Ground.

The dead body of Ben alias Booker
Brame, the negro lynched Friday
afternoon for attacking Miss Sallie
May Gee, the day before, with Grim
inal purpose, was permitted to hang
for A hours before it was finally
cut down and buried by the coroner,
Jas. L. Allensworth.
After the negro was hanged, no
one took any further interest in him,
except that crowds attracted by
morbid curiosity focked to the scene
Friday afternoon, all day Saturday
and Sunday morning until 10 o'clock
when the body was cut down and an
inquest held.
On Saturday Mr.. A. M. Henry, of
Newstead, came to town and told
the colored coroner that he would
90 with him to the scene Sunday
morning, that he might dispose of
the body They reached the place
about 10 o'clock and soon found
enough jurors to hold the inquest.
There was but little testimony,
and after viewing the body verdict
was rendered as follows;
We, the jury, empaneled by Jas.
~, Allensworth, county coroner,
identify the body before US as that
Of Ben Brame, colored, who came to
his death about 2 o'clock p. m. Fri
day, April 9th, at a point midway
between Roaring Spring and Lafay-
cite, about one-half mile east of the
Trigg county line, and that said
Brame was hanged to tree by par
ties unknown to this jury.
Signed A. M. Henry, foreman; l..
A. Gee, G. W. Gee, c. B.
Morefeld, Anderson Elan,
Randle Jones.
The two last named were colored.
The body wasn't mutilated in anyway
Brame had died from strangulation.
He was hanged to a dogwood tree
by a hemp plow-line, with his feet
about six inches from the ground.
His feet were tied together and his
hands were tied behind him. His
features were distorted, his tongue
slightly protruding. The body, al
though he had been dead two days,
was in a good state of preservation,
showing no signs of decomposition,
The coroner carried with him a
county coffin and with the consent of
the owner of the land, the ne.
gro's body was buried in the woods
about fifty yards from where it was
found, on land belonging to L. A..
Gee.
The correct details Of the affair
were given in the Kentuckian Satur-
day. OF the two young ladies, Miss
Sallie May Gee, the younger, was
TSp one attacked by the negro. Her
oYder sister, Miss Ruth, was with
her. After brief struggle the ne
gro was frightened off by the
screams of the girls and the declara-
ton of one of them that her mother
was coming from the house near by.
Parties in the vicinity assert that
the men who took the negro from
the large posse that had him in Gus
tody and did the actual hanging,
were strangers in the ,neighborhood
