HANGED AND THEN SHOT.
lynchers string up a ravisher
IN VIRGINIA.
A Rope Put Around the Jailer’s Necli
to Make Him Surrender the Keys—
A Rattling in His Pocket Finally
Disclosed Where They Were—The
Ravisher Begged In Vain for Mercy.
Petersburg, Va., Not. 23. —Robert
Bland, who, on Thursday last, attempted to
commit a criminal assault on Miss Annie
Gee, aged 16 years, daughter of Hon.
Charles Gee, United States inspec’or of
lumber at Sitka, Alaska, but whose family
reside in Prince George county, a short dis
tance from Disputants station on the Nor
fork and Western railroad, was taken from
the jail of Prince George county to-day and
lynched. A mob consisting cf forty mounted
meD, well masked, w ent to the residence of
Henry King, the negro jailer, and demanded
the keys of the jail.
A ROPE AROUND THE JAILER'S NECK.
He stoutly refused to surrender the keys
or go to the jail to unlock the door. The
mob then burst open the doors of the jail
or's house and again demanded the keys.
On his refusal to give them up they placed
a rope around his neck and dragged him to
the jail, several hundred yards from tho
house. Despite this treatment King still
refused to tell where the keys to tho jail
were. Just before reaching the jail the
keys were heard rattling in Kiug’s pocket.
AT THE RAVISHER’B CELL.
The mob then took the keys from him
and carried him into the jail, and madhim
lead the way to the cell in which Biand was
confined. Bland had nothing to say when
the lynchers came to his cell, but was per
fectly quiet. He was tied hand and foot
and carried off seventy-five yards from the
jail, where he was swu g up by a rope to
a bnrnch of a tree. He begged piteously
for his life, but the lynchers were deaf to
his appeals for mercy.
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
His body was riddled with bullets and
left dangling from the tree, where he was
found at daylight this morning. Bland was
about 21 years of age and if worthless
character. He was arrested Thursday night
by a posse of men who went in pursuit of
him aud he had been sent on by Magistrate
L. L. Austin for trial at the December term
of the county court.
ALL ABOUT ABBEVILLE.
Tbe Proposed New Railroad to Way
cross—An Election.
Abbeville, Nov. 23. The directors
of the Abbeville and Waycross
railroad have employed Col. Watts,
and he will begin to canvass for
subscriptions to the road in a few days.
This road promises to he as great a bonanza
as the Savannah, Americus and Montgom
ery, for it passes through one of the finest
timber sections in Georgia.
The Abbeville steamer, of the river
steamers of the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery Railroad Company, has re
sumed her trips, and Capt. Halbur expects
to have the Sweeny in operation in a few
days.
Suspicion has centered on no one, as yet,
concerning the firing of tho jail, but it
seems certain that it was set on fire, for it
was a dark, rainy night, and no one was
confined in the building.
Ordinary Charles McCall has ordered an
election to take place Dec. 31, ou the ques
tion of a change of the county site of Wil
cox from Abbeville to Rochelle.
Ti.e Abbeville Guards have received their
uniforms, and are awaiting a state inspec
tor, who will probably review them iu a
few days.

it is said, that the conductors want the
general manager to sign a contract pre
scribing what shall constitute a day’s labor,
their duties and wages.
It is understood ttiat they will say that

not expected that they w ill ask for any
thing out of reason.

THE GEORGIA SYRUP “CROP.”
The Cano Crop Not as Large This Year
as Last, but the Quality is Better.
The country carts brought in their first
new syrup yesterday. It will come iu from
now on iu quantities. It sold on the market
yesterday for 35 cents a gallon. It will
drop to 20 cents and 22 cents, however, as
the supply exceeds the demand, as it in
variably does.
A Bulloch county farmer said yesterday
that the sugarcane crop has not been as
large this year as it was last year. The
farmers will bring less syrup, therefore,
to market t.his seasou than they did last.
The syrup will be a belter quality, the
farmer said. The season has not been as
rainy as last season was, and the cane has
less water in it. The juice is better and the
stalk is better matured. The syrup will be
sweet this season. It cannot be made vory
thin, and the supply will be shorter in con
sequence.

Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local
and therefore It cannot be cured by local ap
plications. It requires a constitutional rein,
edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
v.Uch causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca

THORPE.—Died, in Savannah, Ga., November
tbe 10th, 1889, Lkon Augustus, only son of J. A.
and Martha N. Thorpe, aged 8 years, 4 months
and 19 days.
It is with sincere sorrow and heartfelt sym
pathy that we chronicle the death of this dear
little boy. All who have been called upon to
give up a loved child, will know something of
the depths of sorrow into which this death has
plunged the gricf-strlcken parents; but this
was their eldest bora, the darling of the parents,
the pet of all the household; and the force of
the blow, which would have been, under any
circumstances, indescribably great, was im
measurably increased by the suddenness with
which it came. A few hours of extreme illness,
and the bright, manly little boy was snatched
from tbe embrace of the devoted and agonized
parents, and tbe shadow ot a great sorrow
rested upon the hitherto happy home.
A host of friends would gladly aid the be
reaved ones to bear their great burden, but
conscious of their inability to heal the bruised
and wounded hearts, they would rather com
mend them to the love and mercy of him who
said: “Suffer little children, and forbid them
not, to come unto me, for of such is the king
dom of Leaveq.” May he enter the darkened
home and give his servants comfort and hope.

THIS IS NOT TAFFY.
Townsend is the only First-Class Workman
running a big concern who can pitch in and do
a day’s work equal to the best journeyman. He

fixed up to do, and allows them a chance to
make a living.
