WHITE MAN HANGED AT WADESBORO, N, C„
BEFORE DOOR OF THE LAWYER WHO DE
FENDED HIM.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 28.—A special to the Journal
from Wadesboro, N. C., says that a mob took John V.
Johnson, white, from jail there about 1 o’clock this morn
ing, and carried him a quarter of a mile from town,
where they hanged him and riddled his body with
bullets. The jail door was broken down, and when the
sheriff hesitated abou/ turning over the keys, the mob
threatened to shoot Johnston in his cell.
Johnston was charged with murdering his brother-
in-law, Gwynn Johnston. The trial at the last term of
court resulted in a mistrial.
The body of Johnston was left hanging in front of
the house of the lawyer who defended him. None of
the lynching party are known.
THE ATLANTA
FERTILIZER MEN
Who Were Indicted by that Federal
Grand Jury at Nashville Don't Want
to Talk.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., May 28.—Atlanta men
•who were Included In the number of
fertilizer men Indicted by the grand
Jury at Nashville, Tenn., on a charge
of violating the law which Is designed
to curb trusts of all kinds, decline to
discuss the matter. Copies of the In
dictment have not been received In
Atlanta, and It will probably be some
days before they are.
It Is understood that there are two
charges—one of violating the Sherman
anti-trust law, alleging conspiracy to
control the output of fertilizer, and
the other a charge of conspiracy to
combine to regulate trade and com
merce and Thus violate the laws of
the United States. These Indictments
are returnable to the October term of
the federal court at Nashville, and
when the cases are called It is ex
pected that some nice legal points will
be raised. One of the most important
points that it is probable will be made
Is the question of jurisdiction.
Owing to the prominence of the men
Indicted along with the fertilizer com
panies the case has attracted much
attention all over the country and the
outcome of the matter will doubtless
be watched with considerable interest.

This morning about 8 o’clock Jake
Williams, a negro who works on a
bridge gang of the A. C. L., was the
victim of a rather peculiar accident.
Williams, who does not live here, spent
yesterday with congenial friends in
revelry and carousal. He was too
drunk to go to his camp Sunday night,
and started this morning on foot, ex
pecting to “jump” a freight, if one
should pass. When he reached the
trestle, a high wind was blowing, and
his hat fell off, lodging in falling on a
timber projection of the trestle, fifteen
feet below. He started after It, and as
a reward for this foolhardy act lost
his balance and fell to the ground be
low, a distance of twenty-five or thirty
feet. In spite of the distance of the
fall, no damage was done with the ex
ception of a broken collarbone. This
was set and two negroes who knew
him put up enough money to carry him
out of town.

leave the track. The smoker and two,
day coaches crashed into a freight
train on a siding and were badly
wrecked.

St. Petersburg, May 28.—Pessimism
over the outlook continues. The gov

tating what course to pursue. The
emperor appears to believe that a com
promise is still possible. There is nb
evidence that he is ready to yield to
the demand of the lower house for
the supercession of the present cab

prolongation of which diminishes the
chances of a peaceful settlement.

Interesting Children’s Service at the
Methodist Church.
The large congregation at the Meth
odist church last night greatly enjoyed
the exercises of the occasion. It was
a children's evening, and the little
folks of the church provided one of
the most successful entertainments of
the kind the community has ever en
joyed. Songs, recitations, etc., made
up the greater part of the program,
and the young people acquitted them
selves most creditably. A short and
instructive address was delivered by
Superintendent A. W. Muse, and on
the whole the entertainment was well
calculated to prove a source of inspir
ation.
There isn’t much difference in the
looks of the bottles and labels of ‘‘Bo

there is a world of difference in the
qualities of the beers—Just that differ
ence between the genuine and a cheap
imitation. Insist on getting the gen
