Took Strychnine by Mistake.

One of the saddest deaths, that has
occurred in Barnwell county in many
years was that of Miss Kathleen Bax-
ley, of Blackville, on Friday night OF
last week. Miss Baxley intended to
take calomel upon retiring and by
mistake took six grains of strychnine.
1t seems that Miss Baxley's brother
bought several one grain strychnine
tablets to be given to the stock. He
brought them home and placed them
on the mantlepiece. That night be-
fore retiring, Miss Baxley took six of
the tablets. The box was marked
"strychnine, one grain" Miss Baxley
read it strictly one grain"
Immediately after swallowing the
tablets she retired to her room and in
a short time commenced to suffer one
convulsion after another. She lived
less than thirty minutes after taking
the fatal dose. Physicians were sum-
moned but she expired before their
arrival.
Miss Baxley was eighteen years
old and was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. v. Baxley, of Blackville. She
was a most loyable young woman
and was held in the highest esteem
by all who knew her.-Barnwell

revolvers and began firing, the form
er receiving three bullet wounds.
Fullilove was not hit.
To the sheriff, to whom DR.. Fulli-
love Immediately and coolly reported
after the shooting, he said in SUBJ
stance:
4 am sorry it occurred. The man
had been annoying my wife for some
time. I gave him warning to leave
town and cease the attempts at at
tentions which were offensive. He
drew his gun first on me when l met
him this morning and Immediately
fired in self-defense. 1 regret that l
had to do it."
Mckee made a statement in the
presence of Judge ]. P. Young and
Chief of Police Lloyd Brooks as fol-
lows:
"He walked up the steps. | was
standing up against the desk. The
fellows were with him. This was his
first words: I want you to leave
town to-day I said I have not done
anything to you and I won't leave
town. Fullilove said, I do not want
to kill you Fullilove had his gun
in his right hand and pointed it out.
He is an assassin pure. and simple.
He may kill his wife If you don't
watch him. Well, I tell this whether
I live or die.
There is nothing wrong with Mrs.
Fullilove and I am innocent and
iustifable. l saw this man Sunday
and he said it was all right. l
would not have been shot but for his
brother. This statement I make of
nv own free will and accord and is
true. 1 am in my right mind abso-
lutely and I swear all I have said is
true"

The Greatest Debtor of Gratitude In

It matters little what you call her
mamma" ma" or "mumsy-
your mother was the most wonderful
woman in the world.
Her smile-such knowing, SYM
pathetic smile!-was as sweet as
benediction, and at night when she
pulled the covers up about your neck
and tucked them in at the sides,
that smile always accompanied her
goodnight kiss.
You were not always good to your
mother. Often you forgot to do the
little chores she asked you to do
sometimes you just sneaked away
purposely, and your mother had to
make many an extra step because OF
your neglect. Yet she did not often
complain, and certainly she did not
remember it against you, for when
you were sick don't you remember
how she hovered over your bed?
Don't you remember how cool and
soft her hand felt when she passed
it across your forehead? And when
YOUR face was red and hot and your
lips parched, she kissed you. She
did not stop to think about these
modern germs; little she would have
cared anyway!
Mother always understood your
troubles, and she never laughed at
YOU when you took her into your
confidence.
OF course as you grew older, moth
er stopped kissing you. 1t wasn't
that she didn't want to; but you were
beginning to feel too important and
dignified for kissing, and she under
stood. Mothers always understand.
Is your mother dead?
If she is, you can recall 1000
things you meant to do to tighten
her burdens-and forgot. You can
even remember a few cross words
YOU spoke one time-and doesn't the
memory hurt. Mother did a great
deal for you. She nursed you in sick
ness, prayed for YOU in temptation
wept with you in sorrow, and Joyed
in your success and good fortune.
She worked for you at night and by
day-and what have you done to re-
pay her?
Let me tell you what you do. II
your mother is alive, and 1 hope she
is, sit down right now and write her
a letter. It has been some time since
you wrote. Tell her how you still
love her; tell her that business cares
have claimed your attention, but that
you have not forgotten her nor all
her kindnesses. Thank her humbly
for the multitude of her services.
There never was, nor ever will be,
another woman like mother. Be
kind to her.-Fountain Inn Tri-

SHOT TO DEATH, BODY BURNED.
Macon Mob Wreaks Vengeance on
Girls Assailant.

Macon, Ca, Feb. 4.-Charles Pow
ell, a negro, who assaulted and rob-
bed a young white woman here last
night, was taken from officers and
lynched by a mob early to-day, and
later the body was burned in the
negro section of the city.
The lynching took place in the
yards of the Georgia Southern and
Florida Railroad, four miles from
Macon, where the officers, hoping to
outwit the mob, had gone with their
prisoner to take a train for Atlanta.
Powell was tied to a telegraph pole
and hundreds of bullets fired into his
body.
The Attack.
The crime with which the negro
was charged was committed about II
o'clock last night, while the young
woman was on her way home from
work in the downtown district She
was seized by Powell, dragged down
an embankment and assaulted. Two
policemen, summoned by two young
men who had heard the young wo-
mans cries, arrived on the scene
just as the negro made his way up
the embankment with his victims
purse
The officers landed their man in
Jail, but when news Of the gathering
of mob was received the negro was
secretly taken out back door with
the intention of hurrying him to At
lanta for safekeeping. The two Of
fcers guarding him had stopped in
the railroad yard waiting for train
when they were found by the mob.
Body Secured.
To-day at noon a crowd of be-
tween 800 and 400 men gathered be-
hind an undertaking establishment,
in the heart of the city, entered the
embalming room, took the body of
Powell, put it in wagon, carried 1t
to the heart of the negro section OF
the city and burned it. Oil was pour
ed. over cross-ties and the negro's
body and his pyre was of no small d.
mensions. It was all done 81 'etly
that the authorities knew H. ling OF
| It until the torch had been applied.
Tn coroner held an inquest on the
scene Of the lynching, some SIX hours
before; at 9 o'clock this morning, far
out in the railroad yards, where the
body was strapped to telegraph pole
and torn and sieved with bullets.
The verdict placed the blame on
parties unknown"
The Capture. :.
| The dozen men who, had received
the tip that he was somewhere out
in the yards had about given up the
search, but when passing box car
they heard the unmistakable chink
of metal, like a chain, on the inside.
They forced the door and found the
two deputies with their prisoner. A
dozen guns covered the trio and the
officers gave their man up. The dep
uties stated that as the men drew
near to the box car where they were
hiding, the fright of the negro became
uncomfortable and he trembled vio-
lently. 1t was the rattling of his
chains caused by his fear that led
the pursuers to their prey.
Up to nightfall all was quiet and
officials stated that no further trouble
! was feared.

Hearst Purchases Atlanta Georgian

Hearst Purchases Atlanta Georgian.
Atlanta, Feb. 2.-Public announce
ment is expected to be made to-day
of the purchase by William Randolph
Hearst of the Atlanta Georgian from
Fred L. Seely, the present owner
and publisher, for $4,000. Of this
amount s115,000 is to be paid in
cash, and 100000 to be taken care
of in bonds, it is said.
That Mr.. Hearst had purchased
the Georgian, lock, stock and barrel
was verified yesterday afternoon,
though no announcement of the deal
was made or recorded up to a late
hour.
MIR. Hearst, it is understood, pro-
poses to enter actively the southern
journalistic field. According to re-
port, Foster Coates, prominently
identified with the Hearst news
papers in New York, will be manag-
ing editor here, and in all probable
ity John Temple Graves will come
back South to preside over It's edi-
torial page.
Mr.. seely, it is understood, will
leave the newspaper publishing busi-
ness, going abroad for a year, and
afterward associating himself In
busiaess with his father-in-law, MIR.
,,Grove, the millionaire medicine man
ufacturer.
The Atlanta Georgian is about five
years old, and has been up to this
time a. six-day afternoon paper. 1t
was founded by Mr.. Seely, who has
been it's editor and publisher. While
it built up a good subscription list
particularly in the city. of Atlanta,
the paper, it is understood, has al
ways been a losing proposition Il
snancially, and for some time past it
has been understood that Mr.. Seely
was willing to sell, on proper terms.
The Georgian has always calico
itself an Independent organ political
ly. and has never been strongly iden-
tilted with either of the Democratic
factions of Georgia. On occasion 1t
has praised Joe Brown and roasted
Joe Brown; it has praised Hoke
Smith and roasted Hoke Smith, neV-
er identifying itself fully with either
of the branches of politics led in the
past few years by those two men
respectively. The Georgian has al
ways proclaimed itself. the champion
of Righteousness, and supported Pope
Brown, the prohibition candidate in
the last gubernatorial campaign.
The most prominent part the pa
per has ever taken in Georgia poll
tics was in connection with the con-
vict lease fight, in which it went fur
ther than any other organ IN us
fierce denunciation of the late Jake
Moore, and other people connectea
with the old system.
What policies Hearst will advo-
cate, or precisely why he has de-
sired to enter the southern field at
this time are still matters of specu-
1ation though it is supposed by many
that his personal interest in presl-
DENTAL affairs is one of his strong
motives.
