NEGROES SCARED By BABY

Thomasville, Ga.-According to re-
ports received here the negroes
around Pelham. over It Mitchell coun-
", are much stirred up over an infant
phenomenon which, II is said, spoke
when only a few hours old, and
among other things predicted the end
of the world.
Several negroes here have received
letters from friends in Pelham telling
of this child, which. they affirm, turn
ed and spoke 10 its mother when II
had ben born only eight hours. The
child, so the story goes. told its moth
er that II would die in two hours and
she would die in four hours and the
world would come TO an end In six
months. Mother and child are both
said TO have departed this life on
schedule time, and now the colored
that the remainder OF the prophecy
will be fulfilled.
Another portion Of the prophecy
which the child Is alleged to have ut.
tered and which showed that It pos
sessed a voice Of wisdom was that II
would rain "off and on" until the end
of the world. AS the showers In this
section have undoubtedly been OF that
character Of late and are liable to
continue so, there is no difficulty in
rectifying the truth OF the utterance
which Is OF course held up as a con.
firmation OF the whole matter.

Lambs Are Slaughtered as Sacrifice

r OLEDO, O.-When a number Of
j East side residents saw several
men and women gathered about some
bleating lambs they held before them,
they thought little Of It. But when
they suddenly saw one of the men in
sert a knife in the neck OF a lamb
they were amazed. They crowded
closer and saw these same men hold
the dying lamb while men and women
stood about reverently, muttering
sounds taken to be prayers.
All this appeared strange to those
who watched, and one of them, who
was angered at the slaughter Of the
lambs on the open lot in the residen-
tial district, called the police.
When the motor cops arrived they
found the watchers or the lambs sur.
rounded by many other residents OF
the East side. The man who slaugh-
tered the first lamb cut the throat of
another. The live lambs stood near
by.
The police learned that the lambs
were being slaughtered by q number

agreed that the theory advanced by
Josiah Grant OF Wisconsin to increase

OF serious consideration.
Mrs. Joseph Rudersdorf, acting pres
fdent Of the Spokane Humane society,
Is confident the theory is correct, say.

would cause an animal to be nervous,

the nerves of the COW, would naturally

PASSING OF THE SANTEE

Annapolis, Md.-The old sailing
frigate Santee is reported to be past

mud here. II II is found that she
must be broken up where she lies,
there will hardly be another vigorous
protest like that by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, which saved the Constitution.
The conditions are in no way alike.
and yet II Is probable that on no other
ship have so large a proportion OF
the officers Of the navy served AS on

to the naval academy, as we'll as for

She belonged to the Civil war period
and Is said to have been a beautiful

middies who failed In strict observ-
ance of the countless regulations at
Annapolis was not OF kind to appear
strongly TO the affectionate remem-
