"* : ' :a ' < y y Last Friday afternoon about tun* down a black brute named Georg. Burton attempted to assault •Mr a. Wilbur Coggins at her home near Digby, in Line Creek district. Mrs. Coggins fought bravely against the attack of the negro and her cries brought assistance, *hn Bur .on broke through the back doorand ran for the woods. A party was Organized and began to scour the country for the fiend, bot having a poor description of him several men were arrested and carried before Mrs. Coggins, only to be re leased when she declared them inno cent. • ’ Burton wae caught by the parly of infuriated men Saturday eight and after making sure, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that they bad the right man,lhey dealt him a speedy and terrible punishment, ' Hie body was disemboweled riddled with bullets and fastened to a 200 pound rock and tbrowa into the Flint river. About 9 o’clock Sunday morning a farmer who beard the firing during the early hours went down to the river bank gpd found several pieces of clothing, and evidences of a struggle, which led to the discovery of the body. It was found lying in water abont two feet deep, and presented a horrible sight when brought to the bank. The killing occurred at Kings bridge on the line between Meriwether and Spalding counties, but as the body _ was lying nearest Spalding’s aide Coronor Williams was notified and went out j esterday to bold an in*> quest . ' , When the coroner arrived at the scene, the body could tint be found, although a large number of people ■aw it Sunday. It is thought that Burton’s frienda took charge of the remains Sunday night and buried them. Burton’s father swdre he would avenge hie son’s death and tried to incite bis race to a conflict with the whites, but his efforts were futile, and reports from that section yesterday state that the excitement has greatly abated and no further trouble is ex pected. Savannah’s Returning Soldiers. Savannah is sincerely glad to have the men of Battery B, Georgia Artilh ery—which is virtually the historic, glorious old Chatham Artillery—back at home again. There was only short notice of the time the soldiers would arrive, and consequently a large pop ular demonstration was out of the question; but what the welcome lacked in size, it more than made up in hon est heartiness and enthusiasm. The men look every inch soldiers,. fit to sustain the honor of their country and the prestige of their parent organiza tion upon any field and in any emer gency ; and they are no less heroes of the war than if they had been at the front at San Juan and Caney with Lawton and Capron, as they would have been had it been a matter of choice with them. By performing cheerfully and conscientiously their duties wherever they were assigned, the battery added its quota to that in vincible strength of the American army which brought Spain to see the hopelessness of continuing ths strug gle and suing for peace. Savannah is proud of her artillerymen, as indeed ■be is of all of her gallant soldiers.— Savannah News. How to Look Good.

THE CHARGE AT SAN JUAN. It Was Sounded By a Butler Who Had No Urder. EvaMsviixk, Ind., Sept. 12.—W. G Thurman of the Sixteenth Regiment, who is now at bis home in this city recovering from a wound, says tbe charge at Sen Juan hill was tbe work of a bugler. When the Sixth and Sixteenth In* 'entry bad gained a point of 160 yards from the foot of the hill after a series of abort rushes across the plain they dropped to fire and bad They wet* flat on tbe ground awaiting the bugle call to make another rush. Suddenly tbe notes rang out. Instead of tbe short call * forward,” which they ex pected, came tbe longer thrilling call of "charge.” With a yell that would havb done credit to the bronzed war riors of the West tbe soldier* sprang to their feet and swept up tbe hill. With a rush they carried it, andon the top stood shooting do*n the flee ing Spaniards. The commanding officer of tbe bri gade, Gen. Hawkins, was astounded at the charge and tbe bugle call which ordered it. After the hill had been gained, Gen. Hawkins started an in vestigation to discover who was the bugler. He bad uo success until he said he did not wish to punish the man, but to compliment him and get him a promotion is possible. Then tbe man was pointed out by bis will ing companions. He wu. bugler Schroder of the Sixth Infantry. He received the commendation of bis Chief modestly. Tbe fact that Bugler Schroder ordered tbe charge was not noised about, but tbe men in the bri gade knew it, and it wae common talk with them. He was a hero with them, for.they considered hie act the only thing to do. At each short rush more men were falling. As they neared the foot of the hill the Spanish fire wae getting more deadly and demoralizing. The order to charge would doubtless have come from the commander after a lew more short rushes awd reeS b«i Bugler Schroder hastened matters.

They were talking about the civil war and were recalling some of the governors who made their marks dur ing the mighty conflict, says the Detroit Free Press. A veteran who bad served in an Ohio regiment burst out laughing and was called upon to explain himself. "I happened to think of an experi ence of Gov. Todd’s,” responded the veteran, "There was an all-round man for you, diplomat, fighter and good fellow, that his friends called ‘Dave’ as long as he lived. One of the volunteers in our company had a wife who was bound that be must slay at home and look after her. She nearly pestered the life out of the captain, who could do nothing for her, and finally referred her to the Governor. To him she went and was storming the castle when he calmly asked some questions that had a quieting effect. “ ‘Ypur husband is not over 45 T’ “ ‘Of course not. I’m only 40, and he’s three years younger.’ ** ‘Nothing the matter with his health f “ 'lf he was he wouldn’t be any account to me in workin’ the farm. He’s longher’n a pine knot and the strongest man in the township.’ ** 'Then I can do nothing lor him,' said the Governor, with a face as sol emn as that of a judge pronouncing a death sentence; ‘but I can do some thing for you. If your husband doesn’t come back I’ll marry you myself.’ \ “She smiled, blushed, bowed, backed out of the office and ceased to be troublesome.
