Roberta Also Testified that Thorn
ton Hains Threatened Him
With Death if He Interfered in
The Case.
New York, Dee. 22.—"Cap
tain Ilnina ran down the gang
way behind bis brother toward
the end of the float, where Annis’
bout was tied, and got down in
a crouching position, lie put his
liund inside his coat and palled
a revolver, which ho fired under
the rail," said Mrs. William E.
Annis, on the stand yesterday af
ternoon.
“I saw Thornton nains stand
ing with his back to the water,”
she said. “He wus on tho edge of
tho float, and faced tho crowd,
with a pistol in his hand. There
were two shots from Captain
Hains’ revolver with a noticea
ble pause between J(ke two shots.
I ran down like mad. I was al
most insane. Thornton Hains
moved toward me. I turned at
tho foot of the gangway and
Thornton Hains put his pistol at
my back and said,'If you movo
you’ll get tho samo.'
“I paused for a ininuto and
felt the pistol at my back,” she
said. “I ran up tho gangway
and some ono took me into tho
cluli house.”
The narativo was given with
out a sign of emotion. Occasion
ally the stately witness would
move her arm in a gesture to des
cribe how tho defendant display
ed the gun.
When the trial opened Charles
II. Roberts, a member of the Bay-
side Yacht Club, testified ho went
to the Club with Mrs. Annis in
a stago August 15, and said ho
saw tho defendant and his broth
er at tho club talking with the
club members who were on tho
dock when Annis was killed.
Roberta said: “I was stand
ing near tho gangway when I
observed Annis’ and Hill's boats
coming toward tho dock. The
boats were coming along the aide
of the dock wken I heard a shot
and Mrs. Annis screamed. ‘Look
out, Will!’ I started toward Cap
tain Ilains, who was in a crouch
ing position. It was then that
Thornton Hains stepped in be
tween us and, pointing a revol
ver in my face, said: “Keep off,
keep off, or I will kill you.’
Roberts said he pulled Annis
out of the water. After the shoot
ing he said the defendant lit n ci
garette and the Captain lighted
a pipe.
Roberta continued: “I said to
Capt. Hains: “Tho army must
be proud of officers like you. ’ The
defendant said he wanted to ex
plain and I told him I did not
wnut any explanations. I told
Thornton Hains, ‘You are as
guilty as your brrdher, you pro
vented us from iftopping the
shooting,” and tho defendant re
plied, ‘What could I dot He is
my brother.’’’
The .witness said the ^lefemlant

AT EXPRESS AND POSTOFFICE
■
Little Rest from Now on For Em
ployees of Post Office—Tho
Christmas Hours-Force at Ex
press office Increased.
Thero has never been any
doubt in the minds of those in a
position to appreciate the rush of
business that always accompa
nies Christmas bnt that this
year’s business woul show a de
cided increase in many respects
over that of last year and many
other years also. The post office
employees are beginning to get a
real touch of the holiday mail,
which will increase in large pro-
portions from now on to Christ
mas day. Tho express company
is working a largo force and
keeping even with the rush to
date.
Tho post office, will be open
Christmas from 8 to 11 a. m. The
express company will remain
open all day, and will do every
thing pnsiblc to moke deliveries
promptly. Carriers will make
ono complete delivery and collce
tion Christmas.
Tho merchants are doing all in
their power to accommodate
their customers during the Christ
mas rush. Thcw heartily approve
of the “buy now” plan, and are
hoping that the last day or so
before the big day of the year
won't find cvcryono trying to get
down to attend to something that
could have been attended to
days before.

Witness Declared They Whipped
Men and Women on Captain’s
Orders— Witnesses Summoned
By Grand Jury Debarred.
Union City, Tenn., Dec. 22.—
Escorted into court by six fully
armed soldiers and surrounded
by armed soldiers with armed
deputies in positions about the
court roem, Frank Fehringer, the
member of tho night riders who
has turned state’s evidence, was
brought into court to testify
against his former associates.
He said he was ono of the first
members of the band. The oath
he took was:
“I solemnly swear that I wish
to join the Society of Night Rid
ers, and that I will never write,
tell or talk abont anything that
happened upon the rides or in
conference.
A longer and more blood-cur
dling oath was administered to
others. It will bo recited by an
other witness.
The witness knew all the de
fendants and had accompanied
them on many rides prior to the
killing of Rankin. The night rid-
ere wore long black coats and
masks. When members failed to
appear for rides they wore sent
for and made to go.
The witness said often the rid
ers whipped men and women
and women without, knowing
without knowing why except the
Captain ordered it
Ho said once when the grand
jury was in session and several
men who had beon whipped had
bce ( n summoned, Garrett Johnson
sent out a general order to hang
ono of the men who testified.
Thoy caught a witness named
John Shaw on tho way to court,
whipped him and sent him home,
lie did not testify.
Old man” Bogus (no other
name known) testified that a
man was whipped because he
would not urge hia daughter to
BETTER FLOUR FOR GEORGIA.
It is stated that the Georgia agricultural department is con
sidering the advisibility of issuing an order forbidding the prac
tice of “bleaching” the flour, ground in Georgia mills.
It is to be hoped that in this matter Georgia will follow the
example of the national government and put a ban on this prac
tice of using chemicals in the preparation of flour which, acord-
ing to those who make a special study of such matters, decrease
the food value of the flour and even make it to a certain extent
injurious. The order should bo issued and the law should be rig
idly enforced by both the state and national authorities.
The slate department should also start a campaign of education
on this subject, for many people are of the opinion that the whit
er the flour is, the better and finer it is, while as a matter of fact
flour of a dead whiteness has had most of the nutrition taken out
of it by the use of powerful acids and docs not make nearly such
good bread as is made from flour of a darker color whieli has not
been ground so fine. Dentists tell us that the teeth of the present
generation arc not so strong as were those of our parents and
many scientists think that one cause of the frail teeth is the
poor quality of flour that most people use—under the impression
that they arc getting the best flout* when they get the whitest
and finest.
Our people should be protected in this matter and the state
authorities should see to it that they arc protected.

CERTAIN RESUiiS."' "
Many a Wayeroas Citizens Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in
Waycross. There is plenty of
positive proof of this in the tes
timony of citizens. Such evi
dence should convince the most
skeptical sufferer. Read the fol
lowing statement:
Mrs. L. Soars, 36 Francis St.,
Waycross, Ga., says: “For six
years I was a victim of kidney
troublo and the greater part of
that time suffered terribly. I
doctored and used a great many
remedies but nothing seemed to
have any effect on my trouble,
making me discouraged. I had'
about lost all confidence in med
icine when I happened to read
of Doan’a Kidney Pills and what
they had done for others afflict
ed as I. This gave me a desire-
to try them and I procured a box
from Seals Pharmacy. They ben
efited me so quickly that I con
tinued using them and after the-
contents of three boxes were fin- .
ished, my headaches had ceased
and the kidneys had been greatly
strengthened. I am now almost
entirely well and attribute the
change in my condition to the use-
of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
