CHRISTIAN Is AGAIN IN
CHARGE AS WARDEN
ReinStdted In Office In
Sumter Camp
End of Case Growing
Out of Negroes Death
Recently

Camp Warden Robert Christian, in
charge Of the Sumter county chain
gang and who recently was suspend
ed, temporarily, pending an investi-
cation into the facts connected with
the whipping of a negro convict
Frank Fletcher, has been again APP
pointed warden of this camp.
The information came yesterday in
the form of telegram to Mr. Ar
thur Rylander, sent by Commissioner
T. G. Hudson and Representative F.
W. Griffin.
And the news will be gratifying to
the general public.
1t brings to a conclusion a case in
which there seems to have been moth
ing to warrant the trouble raised, the
only point at issue being a technical
violation of the prison rules regard
ing whipping of conyicts.
Warden Christians brother, Henry
Christian, employed as a guard in the
camps here, whipped Frank Fletcher.
The negro died soon thereafter, and
County Physician r. E. Cato, and a
coroner's jury made full and thor
ough investigation Immediately
The negro was stripped and his
body examined by DR.. Cato and mem
bers of the jury, and it showed no
severe bruises. The verdict was that
death resulted from natural causes,
probably some heart trouI
The county commissioners took
ample action and arrived at the same
conclusion regarding the negro
death
However, the Prison Board sus-
pended Warden Christian until the
case could be gone into again, and
sent Inspector Burk to Americas for
that purpose. His report after a
searching investigation, is now on
file in the office of the Prison Board
Thus the case is ended.
There are no acts of cruelty prac-
ticed in the camp here and it is re-
cognized as one of the best main
tanned camps in Georgia, under pres
emf management.

WOMEN LYNCH GIRL FLIRT
Russians Hang COmely Rival, Then
Build Fire Beneath Her

| BuIld FIRE Beneath Her
London, July 28.-Details of the
lynching of young woman, who was
very beautiful, by a crowd of jealous
members of her own sex are to hand
| from st. Petersburg. The affair took
place last week in the village Of
| VOIeckhi, in the Russian government
Cured the hatred of the other wo-
men in the village by her flirtations
with the men of the neighborhood,
both married and single, and feelings
reached a climax when it became
| known that on her account one of the
young men of the village had broken
his promise to marry another girl.
On coming out of church the other
day the women, both old and young
threw themselves upon the flirt and
in spite of Yer cries for mercy tore
| all her clothes off They then drag
ged her through the village by the
hair of BIER head, beating and stonng
er mertilessly. At first the men
l9Ngh{d, but when they saw how
s8vagely the girl was being maltreat-
ed they attempted to rescue her. The
mfuriated women, however. drove
them off and then dragged their un-
| happy victim, who was by now
mass of wounds, to a large tree just
outside the village, where they hang
ed her to one of the branches and
then lighted fire of brushwood un-
| der her.
When the police arrived on the
scene they found the victim of the
women's fury lying dead under the
tree.

TRADING STAMPS NOT ALLOWED
Georgia Laws VIII Bar Them From
State

When the house bill forbidding the
use of trading stamps in Georgia
came up for passage Senator Morris
said the measure was advocated by
the retail merchants of Augusta and
of the state. He declared that H. B.
Claim & Co. had purchased bust
ness in Augusta and competed with
the several dealers in almost every
line This concern dealt in the stamps
and injured the smaller merchants
thereby. He considered the trading
stamp a leech on legitimate bust
ness.
The bill passed 20 to 0.

The CHARACTERISTIC National Meal.

1t is not only in Scotland that break

Travel where you may, the first meal
of the day is the one that strikes the
foreign note, luncheon and dinner
having gradually absorbed cosmopoli-
tan qualities that are not even con-
fined to hotels. But you never feel
so much of an Englishman as when
Switzerland gives you rolls and butter
and honey and nothing more, with
your coffee, or when France makes
this into one exquisite crumbling
'croissant," with an inch or two from
yard long loaf, or when Denmark
adds cream instead of milk to the
coffee and a dangerous piece of pas
try to the black bread and round
white roll.
Yet our English breakfast became
an institution only in the eighteenth
century. Before that only royalty
breakfasted off meat. bread and
cheese and ale The commoner, such
such as Pepys. took merely morn
ing draught of buttered ale

TOUCHES THEIR TENDER SPOT.
Most Men Have Weakness for Being
Photographed on Horseback, Says
Observant Photographer

young man went out with cam
era one morning not long ago and
took seven snap shots of early morn
ing horseback riders. He sent proofs
of the pictures that turned out well
to the men who were photographed
and every one of the men sent him an
order to finish up a few of the pic
lures.
"Of course they did" said a more
experienced amateur photographer
when he heard about it. "A man will
always buy a picture of himself on a
horse-unless he's an unusually poor
rider and looks bad on a horse. No
matter how modest a man is, you
catch him at the one time when you
may appeal to his vanity, when he's
mounted on good riding horse"

county was the home Of Andrew John
