HE WAS FOUND I
HANGING BY THK NECK TO THK
END OK A STRONG HEMP ROPE.
Life Was Gone, and His Captors Had
Fled.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 18.—About three
miles from the city, at the suburb of
Vineville. just beyond Crump’s park,
tbe dead body of Will Singleton, a ne
gro about 20 years old, was found at
tached to the end of a ropo, which bad
been adjusted to a stout limb of a tree,
aud, on examination the negro was
found to be dead, evident'} having
been lynched.
The particulars are about as fol
lows.
Four weeks ago be attempted to as
sault a beautiful young white girl, ag
ed 16 years, who had come to Macon
from a distant city to visit relatives.
She arrived on the East Tennessee
train at 10:30 p. m., and expected to
be met by relatives, but they had look
ed for her by the Central train at an
earlier hour, and did not meet her, sbe
having missed connection at Atlanta.
Beiug a stranger, she did not desire to
go to a hotel. Policemen Brown and
Daniels suggested that she go to a
hotel, but she prefered going to her
relatives. They put her in a hack
driven by Will Singleton, who was
thought to ho reliable. Instead of
taking her to her relatives’ home lie
carried her considerably past there
into a by-road, to a lonely spot, and
then made an insulting proposition to
her.
Hr Threatens to Kill Her.
She commenced to scream, and he
drew his knife and rubbed it agaiust
her face, and threatened to kill her.
She continued to scream. He said:
“D—n you, you can scream, hut no
one ran bear you in this lonely spot, at
11 o’clock at night.”
He then attempted to draw her from
the hack to accomplish her base pur
pose. She resisted him so stoutly
that he was uuahle to pull her from
the hack or succeed iu his villaiuous
deed.
Iu the struggle her dress was torn
to pieces, and her body badly bruised.
Finding that he could not conquer
her stole S4O from her jacket, and
then drove the hack within 200 yards
of the house where her relatives lived,
and told her that was the place she
was seeking, and said if she told any
one of what had happened that he
would come at night aud kill her.
She got out of the hack, and when
she reached the front door, fell fainting
into a relative’s arms.
She has been nervously prostrated
over since that awful night.
The Fiend was Followed.
Singleton fled at once, but Detective
Pattersou followed him to Atlanta,
Chattanooga, Knoxville, Lexington,
Louisville, Nashville and to Birming
ham. Singletou went from Birmsug
ham to Eufaula to participate in the
colored firemen’s tournament. It was
thought he would go to Eufaula, so
officers were on the watch there and
caught him on the streets of Eufaula,
while takiug in the firemen’s parade,
lie was put in jail and requisition pa
pers obtained and the officers started
to Macon with the demon. When the
train reached Walden, about ten miles
from Macon, a party of men boarded it
and rescued Singleton from the officers.
He was carried in a buggy through the
country and brougut to the suburbs of
this city. About 11 o’clock Friday
night he was thoroughly indentified by
Officer Brown as the hackman into
whose hack the officers assisted her on
that fatal night. Singleton was then
brought before the young lady and she
instantly recognized him aud exclaimed:
“He’s the man, he’s the man!" and
covering her face with her hands she
cried; “Oh, take him away; Oh.
take him away!" He was taken away
ns soon as possible, and the next thing
heard of his whereabouts has been
briefly told.

Mu Editor :—This cool evening I
thought 1 could enjoy myself by scraieh
ing you a few lines. This lias been
the best day for cotton in three weeks
I was picking in laige cotton to day,
the sun did not shine on me but little
I said 1 was picking, but not so much
cotton did l get. I was down uudei
there hunting cotton but I only found
lotten bolls, the wet and cloudy weath
er has injured cotton badly. Hands
can pick little over half as much now
as they could three weeks ago.
Well, 1 have no local news, the
wreck, killed and wounded at Barhams
ginnery is already published. The
wounded, I believe, are all improving,
i will tell you a little about the 18,
qf September last. I being seventy
years old that day, and as I could on
ly, get half of my children, grand chil
dren, aud great grand children togeth
er that day. I thought I would cele
brate the day by giving them what is
called a turkey dinner. Some of them
were fiom Louisiana, some from Ala
bama, the balance of Georgia—twenty
six iu all. So we hustled around and
found the turkey and Mrs. S. found
some chickens and other things neces
sary to make the occasion a success,
and I think everything was accom
plished that required notice but one
thing, aqd that was I proposed to eat
seventy mouthfuls of everything that
we had, but it was objected to on ac
count of my abdominal capacity being
so extended that I would not be a fit
subject before an artists camera. So
the day passed off with ease and pleas
ant feelings, and good will to all. The
most remarkable feature of the occa
sion was the celebration of my seven
fir»t birth day before I was seventy
years old.
As this is my first communication
since the nomination of county officers,
I must return my best wishes and sin
cere gratitude to those who gave me
their support over the county, and if
possible my appreciation would run
iiigher for Locust Grove and Tussahaw
and I assure those who voted against
me, they have lust none of my kindest
feeling aud sincerity of friendship, tak
ing it for granted they voted their best
judgment for the best interest for the
county, and not for prejudice or boun-
ty.
Well, tho great day is coming, the
fourth Saturday of this present month,
(the 25, day) our State lecturer, J. W.
Beck, has appointed that day that he
will address the - citizens of Locust
Grove and; surrounding country, and
we, the Alliauce, aud everybody else
will mingle aud co-minglc, and get up
as good a basket dinner as the citizens
of Locust Grove can afford. Every
body invited, a special to yourself and
corps. Well filled baskets, boxes aud
trunks will he appreciated. Everybody
come, everybody help. Ladies will
take the first rank and front seats. A
committee of arrangements will he ap
pointed ; a committee of welcome, a
committee of escort of speaker, etc.
Brother Beck also proposes to preach
at ludifm Greek church on the 4th
the day following the adores*.
Remember the days, the 4th Saturday
and Sabbath following, of this month.
I have nothing more for the present.

Whereas the piesent tendency of
legislation by the government is manr,
festly in the interest of coporations,
syndicates, monopolies aud other com
binations fostered and protected by the
general govermeut and manipulated
and controlled by the rich, tbe said leg
islatiou King class legislation and in
disparagement and neglect of the la
boring classes, i.n l having an inevitable
tendency to destroy the prosperity,
peace and serenity of the people gener
ality, and to endanger the stability
and permanency of the form of govern
merit bequeathed to us by our fathers;
and
Whereas the present objectionable
system of government can be attacked
and destroyed only through onr reffte
sentatives in the congress of the Uni
ted States assembled, and through
them alone can there be a system of
legislation inaugurated that will give
equal, fair and just protection and en
couragement to all classes—operating
for the benefit of the whole people.
It therefore becomes the duty of every
patriotic citizeu of this goverment to
use his ifluence and to concentrate his
effoits iu the ditection of legislation
fair, equitable and for the whole peo
ple; aud
Whereas, it shall be t(ie duty of the
general assembly of this state, which
meets in Atlanta on the first Wednes
day in November, to elect a United
States senator to succeed the lfou-
Joseph E. Btown, and it being a mat
ter of the most serious importance to
the people of this state and to the pub
lic generally that the person elected to
the said office should he one in sympa
thy with the needs of the people, aud
beyond all doubt honest, fair and ca
palile and of unquestionable and un
purchasable allegiance to the every
interest of his state; aud it being gen
erally conceded that John B. Gordon
is a candidate for said office; au'l
Whereas a largo majority of this
body, the Farmers Alliauce of Mon
roe county, assembled in the court
house at Forsyth this October 7th,
1890, are decidedly and irrevocably
opposed to the election of the said
John B. Gordon as a senator on ac
count of receat developments connec
ted with his public career in the servi
ces of this state, which rentier him
eminently unfitted to represent the peo
ple and unworthy of their further trust;
therefore he it
Resolved, By this body, That the
democratic executtve eoimnitteo of thts
county be requested to call a mass
meeting of the democratic voters of
this county, to he assembled at the
court house in Forsyth on Saturday,

Rapid Divorce.
One feature of the recent divorce in
South Dakota of a well-known actress
from her husband seems to have es
caped the attention of the divorce re
formers. It is the rapidity with which
the matrimonial tie cau be sundered in
this new accession to our sisterhood of
grates. According to the reports it
was a tittle less than four mouths from
the time the husband went to South
Dekota to reside before the decree was
signed, sealed and delivered and the
afflicted one authorized to contract new
ties *
Such rapidity is by no means unpre
cedented. It has been equaled, if not
excelled, over the ludiaca course aud
it is quite likely that the Illinois di
vorce tracks can show’a record for fas
ter time. In both these states, howev
er, the result was achieved by an eva
siont or deliberate violrtiou ef the law
which requires a residence of a year
prior to the tiling of a bill for divorce.
This is not a very serious requirement
for persons of easy conscience aud it is
surprising how anxiety to get rid of an
undesirable wife or husband does ease
the conscience. Technically, the re
quirement of thf law is not that the
applicant shall have resided in the state
for a year, but that he or she shall
“make oath” to having done so. It is
only necessary in these slates, theae
foro, for she applicant to commit the
trilling offense of perjury in order to
get a divorce as spee lily as the wheels
of justice cau be made to revolve.
In South Dakota the perjury does
not seem to be necessary. Nobody at
least has tal en the pains to conceal the
fact that the particular divorce refered
to Wiig begun and completed within
four of the complainant’s appearance
in the state. On the whole it is pro
bably better thus. If divorces are eo
be grained at the drop of a “bat” it is
belter that they should have the sanc
tion of the law tha* that perjury should
be a requisite. South Dakota has
done wisely, therefore, in a moral as
pect: aud we are by no means sure
that it has not been thiifty as well
There must be those among the matri
monially discontinued who are pining
(or speedy divorce who would prefer,
all others things bein equal, to get it
without perjury. To such South Da
kota stretches out a friendly hand; and
if the state is anxious to fill up wi h
that class, it has undoubtedly an excel
lent chance to have-’its wishes fulfilled.
Away with the bitters, nauseating,
nasty, sweef-tasting chill tonic. Use
Cheamatn’s 'Tasteless Chill Tonic, as
pleasant to his taste as rock candy
syrup. The children cry for it, the
mother won’t Uye without it, and the
servants slip iWroro the side board.
It aids digestion, contains no Quinine,
Arsenic or Stljffhnine, tones up the
system,' and is warranted. No cure
no pay.
The State Fair.
The State Fair, which opens in Ma
con to-day. will attract more general
attention and probably prove of more
value to the people of Georgia than
any of its predecessors.
An unusuajly large number of exhib
its have been put iu place, and their
general quality is excellent.’ 'They
represent a great variety of Georgia
products, and speak well for the indus
try, ingenuity aud prosperity of the
people of this state.
The county displays are excellent,
each making a complete and interesting
miniature in itself. The largest and
best collection of Georgia raised slock
ever bought together will be on exhi
bition. 'The progress of Georgia in
the important business of improving
farm stock has been as rapid, perhaps,
as was ever made by any state. Only
a few years ago it would have been im
possible to collect in this state as good
a show of slock as will be made at the
present fair. Specimens of products
exhibited in almost endless variety
prove the fertility and adaptableness of
Georgia soil.. Every year witnesses
the improvement in the cultivation and
consequently in the yield and quality
of our crops. The best result of re
cent experiment of this character will
be shown at the fair. There is a large
and interesting display of machinery,
agricultural implements and novel pa
tents, desigued to facilitate the work of
faim and the household. 'The women
of Georgia will be finely represented.
They have contributed a rich and beau
tiful variety of their artistic handiwork
and a collcctiin of domestic exhibits
which show ’.l»at they are iudustrious
an’d progressive'n a practical as well
as an aesthetic direction. .
An interesting programme is arran
ged for each of the eight days. 'The
formal opening of "the fair this mom
ing will occur under most favorable
auspices. The address of the day will
lie delivered by Hon. F. G. dußiguon,
ex-presideut of the Georgia Senate,
and one of the most entertaining speak
ers in the State. A large number of
members-elect of the legislature will
attend the opening in a body, and
speeches may he expected from sever
al of them. The fair will be started
off iu one shape this morning and there
is much to make it interesting to the
end ot its term. Gov. Brown’s speech
to the farmers of Georgia will be deliv
ered to-morrow. Friday the grand
trader’s display will occur, aud Gov.
Gordon will speak to the assembled
multitude. There are special features
for every other day. The Chautau
qua, which will be conducted during
the course of the fair, is a novel feat
ure, but oue which is sure to attract
much attention. An army of speak
ers has been secured who are capable
of furnishing rareeutertainment. 'There
will lie music and a variety of interest-,
ing and practical discussion? touching
the great question of popular education.
The minor feature of the fair are too
numerous to mention. The races will
display the speed and pluck of the
best Georgia raised horses and there
will ba many other iucideu’al enter
tainments, which will add to the gen
eral imere't iu this popular event.
The attendance or the f;tir will be
large, and will represent all parts of
the State. Macon has already a great
numbei of visitors. Many others will
come in to-day, aud so on during the
progress of the fair.
Macon extends a heatty welcome t<»
all. and Iter people will do what they
can to make the stay of their guests
pleanant aud profitable. Macon l’ele

It is the opiuiou os those who have
been connected with the management
of fairs iu Georgia for years that this
will be the most complete aud most cre
ditable of them all.
Malaria
Literally means bad air. Poisonous
gi rms arising from low, marsHy land
ot from decaying vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by
the blood, and unless the vital fluid it
purified by the use of a good mediciue
iike Hood's Sarsaparilla, the unfortu
nate victim is soon overpowered. Ev
en in the more advauced cases, where
the terrible lever prevails, this success
ful medicine has effected remarkable
cures. Those who are exposed so
malarial or other poisons should keep
the blood pure by taking Hood's Sar
saparilla. 1 m.
A Shot Gun Toll Gate.
A bold highwayman appears to have
established a shotgun toll irate in the
Pipestone Pass, in Montana, about
twelve miles south of Butte City, aud
is demanding his toll with a regularity
rthich smacks of the good old days.
About a month si' ce, a slender, soft- !
voiced young man, wearing a | iece of
overalls for a mask, commenced asking
for contributions from people pass ng
this ftoint, and all were made tributary,
not even the wood haulers being ex
empt, aud he made up iu numbers
what was lacking in individual amounts, j
This was kept up for a few day?, then j
the Pijiest'-ne was deserted arid the:
Champ on stag# was brought under
the (tersuasive influence.
Word comes to this city that this
modern Claude Duval has returned to
Pipestone, aud that five new victims
have been added to the list. The
amounts taken in each instance have
been small, but the frequency ot the
demand has made it burdensome, auf
tbe people living in that section are or
ganizing to endeavor to discourage his
efforts in that line.-?-,Minneapolis Trib
