Murderer Caught and Hanped

The Columbus Dispatch of Thursday
says:
News from good authority and relia-
Bile source was received here late YES
terday afternoon that the negro Sam
Meekln. who shot and killed Officer
I'd Upton near Crawford Saturday
night while the latter was attempting
to arrest him, was apprehended and
lynched near Pickensvile, Alabama.
some time Sunday or Sunday night.
A constant search for the negro had
been made from the moment he killed
Upton and his apprehension was ex-
pected some time Sunday. The report
came from Alabama yesterday that
the hunt for the negro had been sue
cessful and that he he'd been lynched
on the spot where he was CAPTURED
Feeling ran high against the culprit
following the committal of the crime
and determined posse was on the
hunt for him. The announcement of
the negro's fate did not come as a sur
prise.

Debt

Debt basks beneath the bubbles in
champagne
Debts hid behind host of smiling
faces
AT night it wakes the sleeper from his
dreams
And puts his guilty conscience
through its PAGES.
In whirl of tango on the ballroom floor
Debts mirrored in the lovely ladies'
eyes
And haunts you through each endless
day
Wherever savings bankers advertise
Debt is child that you have raised
yourself
To be your comrade on your way
through life
Debt is the price of what you spend
For things of which you never tell
your wife.

Rabbit Foot Clover

A number Of our subscribers
have sent me samples Of the little
gray head clover, for name. 1t is
Trifolium arycnse, known also as
Rabbit Foot clover. 1t is a
native plant, growing freely in
sandy soils, and being legumc
has some value perhaps, but is
generally regarded as a weed. 1t
is an annual, starting in the fall
and ripcning in summer like
crimson clover, and where it
crows the soil will be found in
oculatcd for crimson clover.

Ed Upton Killed by Negro

Starkville, Miss, July 3. A tragedy
n which an officer in the discharge OF
nls duty was foully murdered, occurred
ast night in the Octoc vicinity some
we've miles from here. 1t appears
hat a negro named Sam Meeliin was
wanted on the charge of cruelty to ami
mails, the warrant being sworn out by
I man named BIedsoe, whose brother,
DR.. BIcdsoe, resided in Lowrdes coun-
ty, The paper was first given to the
marshal of Crawford to serve, the
negro being there at the time. For
some reason unknown the arrest was
not made.
Late in the evening BailT Ed Upton
of Beat 5 received the warrant and
taking Mr.. Bledsoe with him went to
the house Of the negro for the purpose
OF putting him under arrest. Both en-
'ered the house and Upton seized the
negro and instructed Blcdsoe to cover
nm with a pistol while he searched
him. Suddenly Meekin grabbed Upton
and placing his arm around his neck
drew him close and with an automatic
revolver shot him twice through the
bowels and another shot glanced his
nose. Bledsoe became unncrved and
1t is said fled from the house. What
became of the later's weapon is a
mystery. Upton died in a short time.
sheriff James was notified and i'm
medately went to the scene and insti-
tuted search but without any sue
cess. Parties say that Meckin passed
through Crawford in buggy with his
brother and wife we'll armed. The
officers of the adjoining counties have
been notified. He is yellow negro,
minus several front teeth, and has a
slight impeachment in his speech.
Upton was single man about
twenty-tour years old and was a son
of Mr.. A. j. Upton former citizen of
NoXubee county, and great sympathy
is felt here for his father and mother.
