on January 27th.
Atlanta, Dec. 12—Taylor Delk
has been sentenced to hang on Janu
ary 27 th.
Afcr remaining closeted in the small
room in the court bouse at Zebulon
twenty four hours, almost to the min
ute, the jury filed in with a verdict
pesterday aftoruoon at -1 o’clock.
As soou as it was known that a de
cisiou bad been reached there was a
stir of excitement about the town aud
people who had been waiting for hours
for some turn in the case rushei to
the room to hear the result of the hear
iug.
Taylor Delk, grim, defiant, stearu,
was seated in a chair near the judge’s
stand. The lints of his roughly beard
ed face were rigidly st. His eyes
moved nervously about.
It bad been whispered that if a ver
dict of acquittal C&rne, .a mob would
rush in, seize Delk from the hauds of
the officers and deal summary punish
ment. This report reached Judge
Beck and in drder to provide against
any demonstration, should conviction
come, or violence should acquittal fol
low, he instructed all iu the court room
to take their seats. Should they move
or show the slightest indication of dis
satiafactiou or approval they would be
fiued to the full extent of the law.
The sheriff with an increased force
of deputies was stationed iu the room
prepared to act at auy moment.
As the jury filed in there was an ex
pectaut hush. Foreman S. F. B irrett
read the verdict iu firm tones.
As soou as be heard the word
“guilty” Taylor Delk made a sudden
start from his chair aud gave a depre
catory swing to his right arm. In a
moment he was himself again, sullen,
imperturbable, apparently indifferent.
There was the trace of a smile about
his bearded couutonance as he was or
clered to stand up and receive sentence
Iu making the sentence Judge Beck
reviewed the case, going, rather into
deiaile. Several times Taylor Delk
interrupted the judge to make gome
minor correction. Judge Beck put
January 27th as the day of execution.
Immediately after the verdict was
read auti the sentence passed the pris
oner was hurried out the side door.
FATHER SEES SON.
fie was rushfd to the jiff, where
Tom Delk, his son, is confined, pre
paratory to his execution next Friday.
From his cage the young outlaw
caught sight of his father. He yelled
out through the iron bars:
‘ Pa, is it ovei?”
“That’s right, Tom; I’m a gouer,
too.”
“When do you go, pa?”
“Last of January, Tom.”
McDonough, ga., fkiday, December is, isoo.
The officers were hurryiug Taylor
Delk forward to avoid the crowd.
Tom yelled out his farewell:
“Goodby, pa; keep your head up an’
don’t, iet ’em bluff you ’’
“Goodby, Tom ”
It was . a final farewell. Friday
next Tom Delk will bo hanged for his
horrible deed. Next month if the sen
teuce of the court ts carried out his
father will meet his doom.
Taylor Delk was hurried on to Grif
fin and placed on the train for Atlanta.
Attorney C J Haden filed notice of
a new trial, which will be heard in
Jackson on January I C.k.

“Why do they say as Bmart as a
steel trap?” asked the taklative board
er. “I never could see any thing par
ticularly intellectual about a steel
trap.” “A steel trap is smart,” ex
plaiued Mr. Asbury Peppers in his
sweetest voice, “because it knows ex
actly the right time to shut up.”
More might have been said, but, under
the circumstances, it would have seem
ed .infitting.
Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles. They
cannot absorb their food until it is di
gested auy more than animals can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
learned the art of extracting aud utili
zing these digestive principles, and it is
for this reason that their Shaker Diges
tive Cordial is meeting with such phe
nomenal success in the dyspep-ii. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial not only eon
tarns food already digested, hut it also
contains digestive principles which aid
the digestion of other foods that may
be eaten with ir. A single 10 cent
simple bottle will bb sufficient to dem
onstrate its value, aud we suggest that
every suffering dyspeptic make a trail
of it. Any diuggist can supply it.

JUDGE BKCK FOILS A MOB.
Story of How He Saved Delk From
the I’opulaoe.
Colonel W. C. Glenn returned yes
terday morning from where
he went to defend old man Taylor
Delk iu his trial before Marcus
Beck. As the defendant's; counsel.
Colonel Gleun is loud in his _ praine of
the fair aud impartial trial givenhis client
at the hauds of Judge Heck.'
“Whatever grounds there may have
beeu for criticising Judge in the
first trial of the Delks,” saki Colonel
Gleun, “I do not know, but lam sure
that there was never a trial tsore im
partial and just than the last? trial of
old mau Taylor Delk. ()u, Monday
uight, wheu word was received that
mobs were forming for the purpose of
lynching the Delks. Judge teck was
in bed. As soon as he heard the rtt
mors he arose, dressed and went to
where Delk was confined. lie bad thei
prisoner secretly rera ived to, tile woods
and did everything iu his power condu
cive to the old mau’s comfort and pro
tection. He went to where it waß said
the mobs were forming, and much
toward preventing the uprising. He
is an able J udge, aud though" he may
have felt a little of the indignation felt
by others there, at the time%f the first
trial, he conducted the fair
ly aud impartially.”—Constkihtion.

GERMAN KALI WORKS,
St., New York.
The Sunshine <»irl,
A fust young man decided to nrnko a
young I tdy a formal offer of his heart
and hand—all he was worth—hoping
for a cordial reception. He cautiously
prefaced his declaration with a few
questions, for he hud no intention ot
“throwing himself away ” Did sho
love him well enough to live iu a cot
tage with him? Was she a good cook?
Did she think it a wife’s duty to make
a happy home? Would she cousult
his tastes and wishes conceruing her
associates and pursuits in life? Was
she economical? Could she make her
own clothes, etc.
The youug lady said that before she
answered his questions she would as
sure him of some negative virtues she
possessed. She never drank, smoked
or chewed; never owed a bill to her
lauudress or tailor; uever stayed out all
night playing billiards; uever lounged
ou the street corners and ogl 'd giddy
girls; never stood in with the boys for
cigars and wine suppers. “Now,”
said she, rising indignantly, “I am as
sured, by those who know, that you do
all these things, and it is rather absurd
for you to expect all the virtues in me,
while you douot possess any yourself.
I cau never be your wife:” and she
bowed him out and left him on the cold
doorstep, a madder if not wiser man.
Better Outlook For the Schools.
The legislature appears to be well
disposed towards the public schools. If
the sentiments of the finance committee
of the House are any indicatiou of the
legislature in respect to public ed
ucation, the public schools will have
51,500,000, for the next school year,
instead of $1,100,000, as at present.
That means that in the country districts
the schools will be open about seyeu
months iu the year, instead of five.
Wo are heartily in favor of the prop
osition of the superintendent of educa
tiou, Mr. Glenn, namely, that each
couuty tax itself for the support of
public schools—the county tax to be in
addition to the money received from
the general fund. When the people
tax themselves for public schools they
have a higher appreciation of the
schools. 'They insist upon good schools
aud sec to if that their children get the
hem fit, of lliem. Savannah News.

A countryman entered the office of a
dealer in monuments.
“I want a stone to put up at the grave
of my wife,” he said.
“About what style and price.”
"I don’t know, Susan was a good
woman. A trifle sharp, tnebbe, at
times, hut she was a good woman, and
never got tired of working Just seem
ed to sort of fade away. She brought
me a tidy sum when 1 married her,
aud now 1 want to put up a stone that
her children and me kin he proud of.”
“Did she die recently?” askod the
dealer, sympathetically.
“Not so very. It will be five years
next month, I thought to put up a
stone sooner, but I’ve been too busy
Now, I’ve got around to it, and want
one right away.”
“Well, here’s a book of designs.
Select what you think will suit you.”
“1 don’t know much about such

put a stone at the grave of my first

you are sure a little more will help me
with the widder, put it on and I’ll make
it right soon as 1 muff/ her. She’s

seems a lot of money to put in a stone',

Wlll lain H. Took One Load.
A Cincinnati gentleman related to
an Euquirer reporter that one night
the late William 11. Vanderbilt told
him how the old commodote had os
tracised him, both for the reason that
he did not think him possessed of any
business tact and that he had married
against his wishes. Mr. Vanderbilt
said that the commodore told him he
could live on a farm that he owned on
Staten Island, and that that was all ho
would do toward his support. Some
time after that, when their circum
stances were unusually poor and they
were having a decided struggle for a
living, the sou went into his father’s
office. During the conversation that
onsuad the old gentleman inquired of
the son how his farm was doing. The
latter replied that the crop was not
good, aud the farm seemed to need
fertilizing. “Well,” said the commo
dore, “There is a lot of horse refuse at
my stable.”
“I can’t get it, because I have no
money.”
"1 will give you a load—only one,”
and he wrote out an order upon his
stableman for the oue load.
1 he next day the commodore went to
his place and was surprised to see the
entire collection had disappeared.
“Where has that gone?” he asked of
his stable hand.
“William 11. took it.”
“But he only had an order for one
load.”
“That’s all he took.”
“Why, what did ho have?”
“A tlathoat.”
William H. upon gettiug the Older
had secured the assistance of one of
the Hathoats used a great deal by Staten
Gl.andcts, end bad bjfd >i taker
b*ek of the old man’s place. Ohd all of
the refuse wa* loaded on to it. This
seemed to open the old man’s eyes, for
a day or two after that he paid the first
visit he had in mouths to his sou’s res
idence, and soon after that bis son was
ordered to the city, where ho ever af
terward lived.
