A part of the unwritten history of
St Simons reveals beyond a reasona
ble doubt that the first execution a la
Judge Lynch ever known was upon
this Island about one hundred years
We give it as told to ns by a
gentleman to whom it was related by
an eye witness. It occurred near the
coming together of the three main
roads of tile Island, leading to Fred
erica, Hamilton and Cannon’s Point
ington with twenty thousand inhal^ ude J the lowing circumstances:
b , j, n Acinzeu went out hunting game one
itants.
Heat is oppressive in the Northern
cities. An invitation is extended to
their citizens to come down among
the sea-breezes, fine climate and 'low
temperature of St. Simons.
The hardest rainfall for many years
was witnessed bn the Island last Sun
day afternoon. Floods and sheets of
water poured, untill our Island was
almost completely submerged. Many
puddle holes, miscalled wcIIb, are full
to overflowing. All we need now at
our bouse is an ordinary oyster can
to dip up tho water with and a sieve
to filter it through before using. The
next rain will bring it to the top, so
we can tuko ours on all-fours.
Dock Stallings is the happy man of
the Island this week. Ho is being
visited by hiB sister, Mrs. Dawisb, of
Angustu, his brother, R. R. Stallings,
a prominent employe of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad (a pet of Joe
Brown’s), and his friend, Mr. Wil
liam Geneers, of Chuttanooga. Mr.
S. is doing the agreeable uy showing
every object of interest to an up-
country visitor on St. Simons and
surrounding islands. As is every in
telligent person, thoy are charmed
with island life. “Delightful! deli
cious !’’ say they. ' ; rT
My friend, did you over get badly
frightened ? If so, how did you feel ?
If you Lave forgotten the seusutiou,
we learn there is aiynspeotor, at St.
Simons Mills that might possibly re
mind you of the peculiar feeling.—
Bast Tuesday, whilst deeply absorbed
in the duties of bis post, he heard a
note of warning just in time to see a
whole avalanche of lumber coming di
rectly towards him, with spectres of
cracked skulls, broken legs, mashed
lingers, mangled bodies, sweltering
iu pools of gore, behind each pioce.—
Fortunately, being a good swimmer,
and possessing that remarkable pres
ence of mind, which novel deserts
some persons in the hour of danger,
Mr. Inspector made a miraculous
lsap, cleared the dock, dove down
deep into the river, and saved himself
from all harm. When the way was
pronounced clear above, he crawled
back on the dock, to receive the grat
ifying intelligence that the lumber did
not come within twenty feet of where
he was stauding..
We hftvo been shown a curiosity in
the shape of a tooth taken from the
mouth of a negro employe of St. Si
mons Mills. It occupied the space in
the mouth usually appropriated to
tho two left upper molars. It con
sisted of a crown, much decayed, at
least five-eigths of an ineb long, with
six well-defined fangs, three on each
side, proceeding from the crown-in an
irregular manner. Was this two
teeth joined together V If not, what
was it? If two jaw teeth joined,
there certainly would have beeu some
traces left to show the point of con
joining. Again, if this abnormity
consisted of two, teeth, there should
have been two fangs on the inside
and four on the outside, as in all reg
ular upper jaw teeth there is bat ono
fang inserted on the inside and two
on the outside of the jaw. It was a
lapsus natural, intended for a lower
link in the development of man, for
this peculiar formation is sometimes
met in the iower animals, but never
before have we seen it in the human
A hard-hearted, unsympathetic, non-
African-lover wickedly suggests that
this ib but another evidence of the
connecting link according to Darwin’s
theory of evolution, and that this is
day, taking his gun and little dog.—
He did not return, was hunted for by
his neighbors, but could not be found.
It was noticed, however, that his lit
tle dog returned home promptly at
meal times, acted in a peculiar man
ner, and just as soon as he got his
meals he left, going always in a cer
tain direction through the thick copse.
This suggested the idea of watching
the dog, with a view to finding the
master. Next day a couple of neigh
bors put the design into execution,
and followed behind the little dog
some mile or more, where the corpse
of the missing man, with marks of vi
olence, was found behind a large log,
partially covered. This aroused the
community to search the whole Is
land, then an almost entirely impene
trable scrub, for the supposed mur
derer. Not far away a celebrated
runaway negro, .whose deprodations
upon the neighboring farmors bad
been very aunoying, was found in his
lair, fast asleep, with the gun and
other effects of the dead man in hiB
possession. He was taken, a court
martial ordered, and, after trial, the
negro was found guilty, and hung to
an oak still standing, jnst south of the
Cannon’s l’oint road, near tho above
mentioned fork. ’• After hanging till
his neck was certainly broken, his
body was cut down, decapitated and
burnt. The head was then placed up
on a pole some twenty feet high, and
posted ueur the place, where it re
mained as a warning to evil doors for
many days. All the masters on the
Island sent their slaves to witness
this triple execution of hanging, de
capitation and burning. This, no
doubt, was tho first criminal ’dis
patched in the manner which fifty
years afterwards Judge Lynch made
so famous and effectual a terror to
outlaws upon the frontiers.

THK QUARANTINE SYSTEM.
Atlant i Const!tut .on.
The Republicans in Congress are
attacking .Southern interests along
the whole line. While tbey propose
to increase the tax on cotton ties,
they propose to expose those States
to a yellow fever epidemic. They
have voted away money beyond all
precedent and all decency; they have
actually spent three hundred millions
of dollars, and yet they are not willing
to grant the few thousands neceseory
to protect our long coast line from in'
footed vessels. Havana is just, now
full of yellow fever, and many other
Golf ports are a constant source of
danger, and yet this beautiful Con'
gress proposes to break down the
work of the National board of Health,
which has been confessedly effective
and valuable. The epidemic of 1878
could not have occurred, in all proba
bility, if we had had a national board
of health. A vessel arrivod with no
sickness on board. She was fumigat
ed ami detained two days. Her own
ers were men of wealth and iufinence,
and her cargo was depreciating in
value. These owners were able to in-
mice the local board of health to let
the-ship go. From this vessel sprang
the frightful epidemic of 1878. If the
vessel had been nnder the control of
a board that had more regard for the
whole country than for local influence
or one city, the disease would have
been kept on board ship. But the
Keifor-ltobeson crowd care very little
whether the South becomes u prey to
malignant disease or not. They aro
intent on plunder, and the appropria
tions that have sugar iu them are
about the only ones booked for pas-
