Monday Il|kt.
Toi button, Ga., July 20.—'The lynch
ing of Dr. Ryder has been the sole topic
of conversation here today. The details
of the story are as narrated in the spec*
ial dispatch printed in the Morning
News this morning. When the mob
seized him at Waverly Mall, Dr. Ryder
made bat little resistance, and while
they were drawing him from the car*
riage did not utter one word. The help*
leas wretch was taken to another carriage
close by and thence back to Talbot coun
ty and hung to a trie just over the line
in Talbot county, near the house of J.
C. Willis.
The mob, while returning with Rydei
from Waverly Ha'l, was met by sheriff
Richards and his party, but owiug to the
darkness of the night the sheritt could
not distinguish the persons, nor gain
any clew to their identity.
£herifl Richrrda was informed by the
men who had Dr. Ryder in charge that
he was too late, so he pushed on to Wav*
erly Hall, only to find that he had been
misled and ’ that Dr. Ryder wes
suspended from a limb of a tree, where
bis remains were discovered a short
while afterwards.
The reasou assigned today . for
the action of »he mob is that * the >
people had grown tired of the case being j
continued, but the fact is that the
friends of the prosecution had given up
all hope of ever bringing Ryder to the
gallows by reason of bis being totally in
sane.
Yesterday's court was the third at
tempt to try this case and so far it has
cost Talbot county $5,800. The coroner
found the body of Dc. Ryder hanging
to tree this morning. No marks of vi
olence found on the body.
His mother and two brothers took the
remains to the family cemetery at Wald
en this evening.

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema
lathe external indication of a con
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable. It ia
a mistake to think that this local irrita
tion ia the disease itself—it is simply an
evidence of a disordered condition of the
blood. ^The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usnally applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cores Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were heeded and
a coarse of S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the wont form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.
Mr. William Armstrong, an old resi
dent and highly respected citizen of
Da Fere, Wis., writes on April xst, 1896b
The news, which conies by way of
Paris, to the effect that Japan and Spain
have entered into au offensive and defen
sive alliance against the United States in
order to prevent the annexation of Ha
waii or the recoguition of Cuban inde
pendence by this country, * may be base
less, but it does not want for elements to
give it plausibility—indeed, it would not
cause any great surprise it the rumor
were found to be substantially correct
aays the Houston Poet.
Spain has betn hunting for a friend
for the past two years to joiu her in a
defiant or aggressive attitude toward this
country. She is almost foolish and reck
less enough to trv conclusions with us
single handed. If she could c unt on
the active asaisti n » of a power like Ja
pan to divide our attention and create a
necessity for the concentration of a
strong American fleet in the Pac'fic,
Spain would be quick to adopt offensive
manners towards the United btites.
Beneath the diplomatic courtesy un
derlying the Japanese protest against
the annexation of Hawaii, it is not dif
ficult tu detect much serious feeling and
purpose. The Jape are in that frame of
mind and degree ot development to lead
tbem into hasty and ill-advised action
at almost any time. Fools like Spain
and Japan, in other words, are ready to
rush in where angels fear to tread and it
would not be at all singular if an al
liance were patched up between them
against the big republic which they fan
cy is not prepared for either offeusive or
defensive war.
In one ►enae an attack upon this na
tion by the powers mentioned would be
a good thiog for us. It would arouse a
great patriotic feeling among fall classes
of Americans, it would not seriously af
fect our securities in Europe, where our
latent power is understood; it would
compel us to draw upou< our great re
sources and create an activity in work
shops and in domestic trade which we so
much need at this time; it would put up
food crops and give employment to tens
of thousAcds of idle men and it would
compel us to do many things in the way
of strengthening the country against ex
ternal foes which we ought to have done
long ere this.
Above all, the final outcome of such a
struggle would undoubtedly add td the
prestige of America throughout the
world. It would demonstrate to the na
tions what they now but faintly believe,
that a new power, a giant, h> • arisen in
this Western Hemisphere, which mnst
be reckoned with in.shsping future his
tory. Jt would fix our status as one of
the world's governing forces The im
mediate phvaical effects would be the ab
sorption of Hawaii and our accession te
dominant power in the Pacific, the an
nexation of Cuba and Porto Rico with
the resulting mastery of the West Indies,
and the control of the South Allan* ic—
In spite of the naval greatness of Eng
land.
The United States do not want war,
but they need not fear Japan and Spain,
nor is there any special reason just now
why they should take extra precautions
to keep out of a fight.

JUDGE LYNCH AND HIS COURT,
.Another red handed murderer has paid
the penalty of his crime, and again has
the fair name of Georgia been blackened
by tne summary vengeance uispensed by
Judge Lynch. The hanging of Dr. Ry
der by a mob at Talbotton, Monday
night, only verves to emphasize more
fully the fact that the people are tired
of the dilatory manner in which justice
is dealt out by the courts. Many trials
are simply travesties on justice, and the
people have become so disgusted at see
ing hardened criminals escape their just
desert through technicalities of the law,
that it is not to he wondered at that
they frequently take the law into their
own hands.
AU law-abiding citizens dtplore the
necessity for mob violence, but that the
necessity exists is shown by the numer
ous lynching* that occur throughout the
country. That such is the esse does not

Petty offenders are punished to the full
extent of tbe law, but the greater crimi

MR. WILLIAM ARMSTONG.
"I have been a sufferer for eight years
with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching I
had to endure.
“The extent of my sufferings can be
appreciated when I state that my con
dition was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three months I never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. I then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, bat the
disease shortly returned. I went to
Florida, thinking that a change of cli
mate and water and the citron fruit
might care me, bat fonnd no cure.
*'I then tried S.S.S.snd after three days
the burning and itching subsided, and
I continued to improve steadily until I
was well—entirely cured. After com
mencing S. S. S. I never pat an exter
nal application to my limbs or any part
of my body. Yon may refer to me any
person suffering from Eczema. I will
always keep the S. S. S. in my house,
for I consider it the best blood medicine
of the present age. I am seventy yean
of age and am now in perfect health.**
For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using a real blood reme
dy. So many people who are sufferer*
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking rem
edies which at best are only tonics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. It
is in just such cases which other so-called
blood remedies cannot reach that S.S.S.
has made some of the most wonderful
And now, somebody is calling Tom

Well, Tom is rather inclined to be bull

Lynch law is a great evil, but it has
been forced into existence by other and

▲ coachman -who for many years
had been in charge of a large stable
of valuable carriage horses gave the
writer some curious instances of the
nervous illusions of horses. Onoe
only did he find a whole stable in
anything like permanent fear. He
had taken ten carriage horses to a
large house in Norfolk, where they
stood in aline in a ten stalled stable.
Thera, was a tame monkey in tbe
stable, very quiet, wtiioh slept un
chained, sitting on one of the divi
sions of the stalls. On the first I
nigltfc about 11 o’clock, he heard a
dMtarbtnoe in the stable, tbe horses
■trilling and kicking and very
TinNrilrr He got u light, entered the
statfe and fonnd them all "in a
muck sweat.'* Nothing which could
disturb them was there except the
monkey, apparently asleep on its
perch. He quieted the horses, locked
the door and went away. Soon the
disturbance began again, and this
time, slipping quietly un he drew a
pair of steps to one of the windows,
and, os the moon was shining bright
ly, had a view of tbe interior. The
monkey was tbe source of terror.
/ It was amusing itself by a steeple
chase along tbe whole length of the
table, leaping alternately from the
division of the stall to a horse’s back
or head, then off on to tbe next rail
and so on. The horses were trem
bling with fright, thongh many of
them had not the least objection to
a oat or a pigeon sitting on their
backs. Yet the monkey had not hurt
any of them, and their panic was
clearly the result of illusion. Old
fashioned people used to identify
any strange living object which
frightened tbem with "the devil.
Perhape for horses "the devil” is
anything which they cannot under-
stand.—Iend on Spectator.
