ACANOIDAIE FOR LYNCHlNG
Negro Enters White WOmen's
Home--BrutalIyA Attacks One.

Sheriff Graham was summoned
by wire to Vox postoffice Tuesday
afternoon, that usually quiet, law
abiding community being aroused
over a dastardly crime committed
Sunday night. Shortly after dark
negro man had entered the home
of an aged lady and her maiden
daughter, and choked and beat the
younger woman in a most brutal
manner. Whatever the motive of
the miscreant, whether robbery or
worse, the elder woman's cries for
help frightened him away before
his purpose was accomplished.
When the news of the outrage
spread about the neighborhood the
people were aroused to vengeance
and had the guilty man been found
he would doubtless have met sum-
mary punishment. When the Sher-
! iff arrived on the scene more than
q hundred people were gathered
around about dozen negroes who
had been arrested on suspicion.
These were in the custody of Mr.
George Lovett. the Sheriff's deputy,
who had preceded him to the scene
of the trouble the day before.
The county blood hounds were
secured from the chaingang camp
nearby and they trailed the negro
from the house to the public road,
where the trail was lost.
From all the testimony that could
be gathered suspicion pointed strong
" toward one Willie Brown as the
guilty party. Brown has left the
neighborhood, which tends to con-
firm his guilt. Meantime four other
negroes suspected of having knowl-
edge of the crime were placed un-
der arrest and turned over to Mag
istrate Davis.
While at first feeling ran high and
there were open threats of lynching,
the excitement has subsided to a
great extent and the law will prob
ably be allowed to take its course if
the guilty negro should be appre-
hended,a he no doubt will be, soon
er or later.

"eIessed Are They Who Put Their

The King was seriously disappointed
at the only inharmony that had oc-
Cured in connection with his great
project. which he felt sure was to
work such blessings to all the earth,
and such honor to himself. In his fury
he commanded that the furnace should
be made seven times hotter.
The three Hebrews were bound In
their clothing, and some Of the strong
est men Of the kings guard were
commanded to throw them into the
furnace. AS the bound men were
thrown In, the flames came forth and
enveloped those who had thrown
them In. and destroyed them. The
king already had had some evidence
Of the power Of Jehovah God. and he
intently watched the furnace. AS the
king looked toward the furnace, to his
utter astonishment he beheld four per-
sons walking In the midst Of the fire.

Courage OF the Three Hebrews
Everything seemed to go well until
1t was reported to the king that three
governors whom he had set over the
provinces had rebelled against his de-
cree and refused to worship the image
of Bel.Merodach - had def@d the
kings power. Who were these three
disturbers of Babylon's peace, spoil
ers Of the great peace festival? They
were the three young Hebrews whom
the king had so graciously treated at
the time Of their captivity and who
apparently owed so much to him
The courage of these three Hebrews
stands out on the pages Of histcry as
sublime! The king had reminder them
that none Of the gods had been able
to deliver any people out Of his hand;
their own city. Jerusalem, had been
overthrown. They could hope for no
rescue from the death that WAS be-

answer was that their God. jehovah

liver them from the fiery furnace, or
from anything He might choose, and
would do so. But If not and If they
were certain Of it In advance-never-
theless, they would be His faithful
servants and worship Him alone.
How sublime their faith and their
courage. Such faith and such courage
