LIN' OLNTON, (>a — Near the hour
of midnight Sunday nigld, seventy-live
or one hundred nr marl men broke into
the county Jfd I hero mid lookout n
negro prisoner named Albert Aiken,
v. lio one day last week fatally cut Mr.
.1. li. Spiros, awhile citizen of tins
county, and carried him about three
j mile; from town, where they swung
I trim up to a tree and riddled his body
I with bullets.
Xii-xim/fi Citi.Mi:
| Tile crime of which Ihe negro was
! guilty occurred, it seems, in this way :
lie was riding a mule on the way to
the held of li is employer, a. li. Spiros,
; when he was met by Mr. .). 11. Spires,
a brother of his employer, who asKcd
him for n small sum of money. At
this the negro became enraged, got
down from lii.s mule, drew his knife,
ahd plunged the blade up to the hill
which was almost as sharp as a razor,
I in Mr. Spires’ icf side, then drew it
| forward w ith such force that it severed
two rlli-.-, penetrating the lung, about
two inches and made an incision about
two inches long. It seems tint Mr.
Spires gave the negro no provocation
whatever fc r the brutal act.
Mr. Spires walked about seventy-five
yards and fed from loss of blood, where
he was found by a friend shortly after
wards and was taken to a neighbor's
house, ids condition growing more
serious. Monday evening his attend
ing physician lost all hopes of Iris
recovery.
Nkciuo Was Aiuik.sti-:i>.
Immediately after the cutting a
neighbor phones Sheiitl' Wright, who
came at once and caught the negro
Ijjfore he could make his escape and
lodged him in the county jail.
It, is stutid that after the negro was
placed in jail lie was usked by a citizen
why he cut Mr. Spires, and he replied
that Mr. Spiresjtried to whip him and
that he was not going to let any damn
ed w lute man whip him.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.
There is n.i mure fatal error in which
the tutu reidnr patient may fall than
that, alcohol retards the waste of the
disease; and yet it is a very common
error. How often wo. have heard it
said of some man, “Well he bail to
drink whiskey because he was con
sumptive and the doctors told him he
could not live without it.’’ It is even
belli by some to he a preventive mens-’
lire—if there is consumption in any!
branch of the family a week person is i
told to lake toddies and milk pimehez j
“to keep it oil'.’’ Instead of keeping
it. oil', if is imich more Pkel.. to bring \
it on, I'm alcohol wreck; toe nerves |
and paralyzes the defensive function of
I lie white blood cell-' and lung tissue. '
llis upon this quality in the blood,
that we must depend for resistance to I
all soils of contagious or infectious;
diseases, and from that reason habitual
drinkers arc more liable to them titan!
others.
The fact is that alcohol will neither
prevent liihereulosis, jior retard its
progress, nor cure itr Indeed, by ini- j
pairing and weakening (lie digestive'
functions of the body it tears down the
last, defense and robs the patient of his]
chance of recovery. Wc give below
some authorities for this statement.
Alcohol liquors are of damage to con
sumptives 1/ cans'.' they lend to impair
mitiition, disturb the action of the
stomach, and give a false strength to
the invalid on which lie is sure to
presume.—I'M ward M. Trudeau, M. I).,
Adirondacks Haiiitaiium for Consump
tives, Sarance Lake, X. V.
fn my judgment whiskey should not
lie used by people who have cansump-
tion, and in my practice I prohibit its
use absolutely. At the White Haven
Sanitarium and the Henry I’hipps in
stitution we do noL use alcohol In any
form in the treatment of our patients—
Lawrence K. Flick, M. 1)., Philadel
phia. l'a., vice ([resident of the Ameri
can Association for the Prevention of
'1’uburculosis.
I do not feel that I can emphasize
strongly enough the harm tlia*. can he
done by Hie use of alcohol in tuberculo
sis'. I find it not only mmesessary in
treatment, but believe it to he con
traindicated.—F. M. Pottenger, M, J).,
Supt. The Pattenger Sanitarium for
Diseases of the 1.lings and Throat,
.Monrovia, Calif.
Mcohol gives a temporary sensation
of “-ell-being, while it really hastens
•ise, and paralyzes
i the defensive function of the white
blood cells and lung tissue;—Professor
Frank H. Woodbury, M. D. Philadel
phia, Pa.
The lynching was not unexpected
hut it is thought, was delated till it ; ^| 1( , process of disci
was known thiA Mr. Spire’s condition | the ( | ef( , nsivL . fuiie
was hopeless
The manner in which the crowd acted
showed that it was not the work ol an
infuriated mob, hut of men carrying
out a deliberately planned purpose to
meet out justice to a i.rutal and red-
handed criminal. Except for the
heavy blows; necessary to break the
tail doors, it is hardly probable that
the citizens of the town would have
know n the crowd was present. There
was no |oud talking, no profane swear
ing, all was carrier! out in a quiet and
systematic way. After thecrov d took
tile prisoner, they left town with him
in the sauio orderly quiet way and no
more was heard tiil they reached the
place of lynching, then the simulta
neously craex of pistol, rifle and shot
gun gave notice that the work was
over.
Others Waiixeu.
This morning the passersby could
look upon the ghastly and mutilated
body of the negro and see on a sheet of
paper pinned to his clothing this warn
ing, in substance ; The same will he
done to all negroes under like c'rcum-
sLauces. Signed, “ftegulatrrs. ”
(t was formally thought that alco
hol was iu some way antagonistic to
tuberculous disease, but tlie observa
tions of late years indicate dearly Hint
the reverse is the case, and that chronic
drinkers are much more liuhle to botli
acute and pulmonary tuberculosis.—
Dr. Osier, formerly Professor of Medi
cine, Johns Hopkins University’, Haiti-
more, >1(1.
In these days when tuberculosis is
no longer regarded as a hopeless dis
ease, and the whole world almost is
combining in the eflVirt even to stamp
it out entirely, what a great stimulus
it is to throw off the incubus of that
deadening, soul-dc.stro.ving idea that a
consumptive must he given up by com
mon consent, as it were, to whiskey
Irinkiug, te know that life, health,
