NEGRO LYNCHED AT TOCCOA.
Convict Escapes and Makes Assault
Dealt With Quickly.

TocCoa, Ga, June 14.-After an at
tack on the stephens county jail here
lasting from II o'clock last night un-
til this morning at o'clock, Sam
stephens, negro convict, who es-
capped from the Stephens county CON
vict camp few days since, was
taken from the Jail by a body Of seve-
raj hundred men and hanged in the
city limits about two or three hun
dred yards from the residence section
OF the city.
Sunday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
the negro assaulted a young lady, the
daughter of a prominent farmer of
the county, who lives six miles from
Toccoa. AT the time the young lady.
| e years Of age, and her older sister
were at home alone. She was drag
ged some distance to the woods and
there left in an unconscious condi-
ton.
Last night Stephens was captured
at Madison, S. c., and was brought to
Toccoa by Sheriff Stowe about II
o'clock. Soon afterwards many peo-
pie began to gather about the Jail,
and the negro was demanded. but the
sheriff refused to open tho doors or
to furnish the keys.
The attack on the Jail began as
soon as the young lady reached Toe
Goa and identified Stephens. Many
citizens undertook to dissuade those
engaged in the assault on the Jail,
but to no effect. The wall was bat
tered down, and then the cage broken
open. stephens hid in dark cor
ner of the cell, lighting to the last,
and had to be SmoKed out. In the
meanwhile he was shot several times,
but not fatally. Two or three persons
were injured by him.
He was dragged from the Jail to
the place where he was hanged and
shot to pieces.
\ few years ago stephens was con-
victed in Hall county under a charge
Of assault with intent to rape and
assault with intent to murder, and
was sentenced 20 eleven years in the
penitcntiary.

The experienced traveller Don
learns to travel light" or, in more ex-
plicit terms, to take along as little
luggage as possible. Going on a sight
seeing journey requires somewhat diff
ferent QUILTING from going on a visit.
But one must be prepared to meet
emergencies In either case. For the
tourist a hand bag and a good-sized
suit case will carry about all that
the %sight-seer needs, unless it is that
everlasting problem, the extra hat.
And the parcel post or express COM
panies will look after that.
Blouses and bodices are made of
such sheer materials that a good sup
ply Of them takes up little room.
Wash silk, pongee, and crepe de chine
blouses, made in plain tailored styles,
are to be relied upon for wear while
travelling. Fancier blouses Of chiffon
or lace will be needed, but I'M or
two of them will serve for those oc-
casions that require something more
dressy than the tailored blouse.
An elegant, new model in crepe de
chine is shown in the illustration,
strictly tailored and suitable for wash
silk or pongee. 1t is finished with
a turnover collar and turned back
cuffs. The seams are set together
with hemstitching, which is a decora-
tive feature on waists Of this kind. A
little pocket at the side and white
buttons with black rims complete the
smart design. Similar waists in pom.
gee are frightened with brilliant red
or green buttons, or with buttons Dor
dered with black like those on the pic
tured waist.
Besides these, there are the waists
Of plain wolfe having small tucks and

as though a hasty search had been

For a dressy waist q good model,
made of net and shadow lace, is
shown in the picture. The body is of
net with border Of lace at each side Of
the front, and sleeves Of lace. These
are finished with hemstitched cuffs.
A standing collar at the back is made
Of the lace with scalloped edge and
wired to hold Its position.
Marrow black velvet ribbon is used
in a band about the neck and around
the cuffs. At the neck it fastens at
one side with hook and Eye. Small Jet
buttons complete the design, to which
it is easy to add a color note by
basting in a figured ribbon below the
line of the bust, on the under side of
the net.
A little garment that is likely to
prove a friend in need is pictured in
the knitted waistcoat of wool yarn. Il
