HESS
ARRESTS Man
EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF BARNS
VILE LANDS NEGRO IN
COUNTY JAIL.

Lloyd Graham, alias Lloyd Edwards,
oo1ored, is now in the county basttle.
Edwards was arrested this morning
by Thomas j. Hess. mayor Of .Barns-
vile. Mayor Hess attention was at
tracted when tle negro walked up to
the mayors residence at 210 Penn
avenue, and tried to gain entrance to
the house. The negro tried three
doors. During the time that the man
was trying to get into the home
Mayor Hess was getting ready to take
MIN a prisoner. Just as the mayor
was ready to emerge from his house
the negro scooted across the lot and
tried the door of an adjoining neigh
bor. Mayor Hess did not wait a mo-
ment longer. He hurried over to
where the intruder was and placed
him under arrest. The mayor then
had to hunt up the town sergeant to
get his prisoner in the Barnsville jail.
When the prisoner was safe behind
lock and key of the BarnsvIlle prison
Mayor Hess turned the negro over to
the county authorities. He came to
the city and notified the Prosecuting
attorney that in searching the man
he found razor. This is an 'offense
against the Johnson antI-pistol toting
law. The razor was discovered in
making the second search.
The prisoner was brought to the
county Jail and is now an inmate of
the county penal institution.

of the negroes by Mrs. Rockhold had
been purposeIy deferred for several
days in the belief ti1at this will tend
to decrease the danger of mob yio,
lence.
With dificulty enraged citizens were
restrained from lynching Johnson and
his companion when It became known
late Wednesday night that the two.
who we're thought to be hiding in the
mountains, had returned to Gassaway.
It was a member OF their own race.
Abe Ratltff, VINO betrayed the pair.
A posse headed by Chief of Police
Charles Lewis, crossed the Elk river
and going to Johnson's house found
both the men they wanted. Neither
offered resistance. Threats of lynch
| ing were freely made but the authori-
ties succeeded in prevailing upon the
crowd that surrounded the mouse to
let the law take it's course. johnson
and his fellow prisoners were locked
up in the Office OF Mayor C. l.. Perkins
and placed under heavy guard, not
only to prevent their escape, but for
their own protection. Although there
was talk of lynching, this did not
crystalEze into action for lack of a
leader. AT a secret hearing yesterday
afternoon both Mr.. and Mrs. Rocknold
were present. From the meagre re-
ports obtained neither expressed abb
solute certainty that the two prisoners
are the ones wanted.
Fearing the testimony at the hear
ing, II made public, might incite sum.
mary Justice, all those present have
refused to disclose its nature. 1t was
announced that hearing of further evi.
dence would be postponed until to-day
ct 10 O'Clock. This is believed by
many to be a ruse to allow the autlor-
tiles to spirit the negroes to the coun-
ty Jail at sutton, six miles away. Com
pany A, of the national guard at SUIT
ton, was hastily called out yesterday
afternoon. Should an effort be made
to break through the guards and cap
ture the negroes, many believe the
soldiers would not fire on their Fellow
townsmen:
At 10 o'clock the governor express
ed himself as satisfied that no lynch
ing was to be feared, and he will leave
for Charleston in the morning. To
prevent any possible outbreak. now
ever, he will take personal charge of
the guard during the night and hold
himself in readiness to help quell any
disturbance. He would not say wheth
er any attempt would be mada to move
the prisoners to Sutton during the
night. At 10 o'clock the governor ad-
dressed the crowd who mad assem-.
bled In the center OF the town and
begged them to uphold the law.

How French Specialist Goes to Work
to Woo sIumber for His Wide
Awake Patients.

A French specialist has come to the
rescue OF persons afflicted with insom-

described as "lulling the wideawakes
to Inconsistencies much as babies
are put to slumber"
1T is perfect palace of peace that
he has opened in lovely Touraine,"
says the Lady's Pictorial. Here is
never a disturbing sound. The silence
is broken only by the absolutely mo-
notonous and soothing tick, took, tick
OF solid grandfather clocks, and the
scarcely pereeptible drip of unseen
fountains.
Everything is seen through a ceru-
lean haze, everybody moves in list
slippers, the air is fresh but full of
faint perfume. Before the eyes of
very refractory patients slowly revolve
colored balls, not the smallest rose
leaf being allowed to crumple in any
bed, each being so designed that there
Is no possibility of the body growing
weary. Here, in fact, the wooing of
sleep has been made a positive sci
ence, and 1t is said no one can keep
awake here. however hard he may
