CARROLLTON TRAGEDY.
SHERIFF J.L. MRRRGLL PI TS TO
ROUT A MOB
Assailiii*? the Jail to Lynch a Nogro
M urderor.
If mobs were certain that the officers
would use their guns to protect their
prisoners and the public property, it
would do much to stop the lynching
spirit.
The people of Carroll county now
have the definite knowledge that as long
as Sheriff J. L. Merrell is in office, any
would-be lynchers will prove very poor
risks for a life insurance oompany.
It was an unfortunate tragedy which
occurred last Thursday in Carrollton,
and nothing but Sheriff Morrell's pluck
and determination prevented a lynch
ing.
Mrs. Hose Parker, President William
Downs Woman's Relief Corps No. 43,
also chaplain Northwestern Legion of
Honor, writes from 2419 Central avenue,
Minneapolis, Minn., as follows:
••For several yean I Buffered with a
severe backache, and constant drag
ging pains. Some doctors gave It one
name and some another, but none gave
relief. Several of my friends urged
me to try Peruna, so / was finally
persuaded to try It and the first bottle
brought blessed relief. I have used it
off and on for three years. 11 keeps me
in excellent health. ,f
Dr. Rachel A. Magaw, 67 W. Jefferson
street, Springfield, O., says: “Your Pe
runa is worth its weight in gold. I feel
like a new woman.”
The coming of what is known as the
“new woman” in our country is not
greeted by everyone as if she were a
great blessing. But there is another
new woman whom everybody is glad to
see. Every day some invalid woman is
exclaiming, “I have boon made a new
woman by Dr. Hartman’s home treat
ment.” It is only necessary to send
name, address, symptoms, duration of
sickness and treatmontalready received
to I>r. Hartman,Columbus,0.,anddirec-
tions for olio month's treatment will be
promptly forwarded. The medicines
can bo obtained at tho nearest drug
store.

She was rather plain,but wealthy. He
had proposed and requested a kiss.
“O!” she giggled, girlishly; “I don’t
like to kiss a man with a mustache.”
“Nonsense,” he replied; “Idon’t mind.
Your mustache isn’t very heavy,
really.”
A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured.
‘‘Atone time I suffered from a se
vere sprain of the ankle,” says Geo.
E. Cary, editor of the Guide, Washing
ton, Va. ‘‘After using several well
recommended medicines without suc
cess, I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
and am pleased to say that relief came
as soon as I began its use and a com
plete cure speedily followed.” Hold by

Ike Williams, a youug negro aocusetl
of the murder of a boy named Otis
Word, was the fellow wanted by the
mob. The crime oocurred last January,
and the negro was convioted on strong
circumstantial evidence. Tho Word
boy had shown in a store that he had
some money in his possession; Williams
was seen with him as he went home.
The boy was never seen again alivo, but
his body was found in a pond with the
head nearly severed from the body.
Blood stains on the negro’s clothing,
and other circumstances connected him
with the orime, and the jury found him
guilty and Judge Harris sentenced him
to be hung Friday. The negro’s attor
neys applied for a new trial, which
Judge Harris refused. They carried
the case to the Supreme Court on a
bill of exceptions, which of course
postponed the execution.
Tho neighbors and friends of the
Word family, who live at Victory, a
small settlement in Carroll county, were
disappointed at the postponement and
not understanding the court’s action,
undertook to take the law into their
own hands. A mob of five hundred
men assailed the jail. Sheriff Merrell
had not anticipated trouble, and no
was with him except his brother-in-law,
Mr. L. J. Fletcher, and Hon. W. D.
Hamrick, the popular State Senator
from that district. On the approach of
the mob, Sheriff Merrell warned them
to desist, but under the leadership of
Mr. Geo. W. Bennett they came on and
broke down the door with sledge-ham
mers. The Sheriff and his friends fired,
and Bennett received wounds from
which he soon died. Finding the
Sheriff determined to resist them, the
mob retreated,and though many threats
were male, no further damage was
done. Governor Candler, in response
to a telegram informing him of the
situation, sent a detachment of troops,
who took the prisoner to the Atlanta
jail for safe keeping.
While it is unfortunate that blood had
to be shed for such a purpose, the in
cident will doubtless have a good effect
in preventing attempts at lynching in
the future.

“Willie,” said the small boy’s mother,
“I hope you are polite to everybody.”

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
CaltMlnitla Lodge, F. & A. M., Adopts
Resolutions on Death of Jas.
M. Hill.
Whereas, it has pleased the Grand
Master of the Universe to call from
“labor” in our lodge on earth to “re
freshment” in the celestial lodge, our
worthy brother, Jas. M. Hill;
And whoreas, His life among ns truly
exemplified the great tenets of Ma
sonry,— squaring his actions by the
square of virtue with all mankind, his
uprightness being measured by the
plumb of rectitude, and the compasB of
his brotherly love embracing all brother
Masons, the necessities of whose fami
lies he was ever ready to relieve to the
full extent of his ability;
Be it resolved, 1st, That in the death
of Bro. Hill, Caledonia Lodge has lost
one of its truest and best members, and
the order of Masonry one of its most
devoted followers and worthy exem
plars. Bro. Hill was faithful not only
to his lodge but to every obligation of
life. He was a gallant member of Co.
E, of the historic old 8th Georgia Regi
ment, and was a brave and loyal soldier.
He has ever enjoyed the utmost confi
dence and respect of the community in
which he lived, and has been a useful
and honored citizen.
As a ripened sheaf of wheat, so has
ir brother been cut down, full of years
and ready for Death’s sickle. Let us
cherish his memory here, and strive to
emulate his virtues.
Resolved, 2d. That we tender to the
family of our deceased brother our sin
cere sympathy in their bereavement
that our lodge-rooms bo draped in
mourning for tho customary period and
these resolutions be spread upon
minutes and sent to his family, and that
their publication be requested.
