A CARS IVA L OF CRIME,
One who rends the dally newspa
pers must he Rninzod and shocked at
the frequent recituls of the crime of
rape and attempts at rape. During
tbe pant week our own State
lias been the scene of several those
ontrafiefi, in every case save one the
victims being white and the despoilers
black.
In Harris county, n white ninn is
alleged to have assaulted a 10-year-
old negro girl. To the credit of his
rnce lie it said, the accused in this
case strenuously denies the charge
agniiiRt him, and it is understood that
his neighbors are disposed to Hiipport
him in his protestations of innocence.
In Pauiding county, the 10-year-
old daughter of a farmer, while going
from the house to n near-by spring,
wns set upon by a burly negro and
outraged. The negro escaped, and iH
yet at, large. The child is in a preca
rious condition, and may die.
In Polk county, near Ccdartown,
an aged white woman was brutally
assaulted by a negro. One nrrost lias
been made, and the prisoner Is now
on trinI for Ills lite, Juugu J.uie.. Hav
ing convened a special term of court
for the purpose. There Is some doubt
ns to the guilt of the prisoner, and he
may be acquitted, the viotim herself
not being able to identify him posi
tively ns her nssailant.
Near Opelika, a negro attempted
att assault, upon the wife of a fnrmor.
Klio (rightened him away by display
ing a pistol; hut in an hour or so lie
relumed and renewed the attempt.
*She resisted, shot at him, and lie
finally took to his heels. He had not
•been captured at last accounts.
In Appling county, a negro entered
the home of a farmer during IiIh ab
sence ami at temped to assnult Ills
wife. She was a courageous woman,
however, and offered auch stout re-
Histunco as to toil the purpose of her
assailant. He was subsequently cap
tured, ami is now in jail. A special
term of court will be convened next,
week for tho purpose of trying the
culprit.
Ail these crimjyt occurring within
the brio! space of one week shows n
slate of affairs Hint is most alarming.
Where will it end? The hardened
wretches who commit these crimes
know that dentil, swift and terrible,
is tho inevitable penalty of their dev
iltry, and yet they do not seem to
fear tho consequences,
MAKE AS EXAMPLE OF \U1M.
A few days ago Will Armstrong, a
.vhito citizen of Harris county, made
nti attempt at rapo on the person of a
10-year-old negro girl, When threat
ened witli arrest for liis crime helled,
llelng ndvised of these facts by the
slicrilf of Harris county, Gov. Candler
issued n reward for the capture of the
fugitive. A day or so after the pub
lication of the Governor’s proclama
tion the man was arrested, aud Ih now
In jail. He protests IiIh innocence,
but tho circumstances are said to be
strongly against him, and the chances
are that he will he unable to establish
Ills innocence. We think Gov. Can
dler did exactly right in offering the
reward, and it is to be hoped that
there will be no trifling or ovosion in
the prosecution of the case. If Arm-
sirong is guilty he should bo made to
suffer the extreme penalty of the law
for offenses of this class, which is
t wenty years in the peniteutiary. In
prosecuting culprits of this character
we cannot afford to make flesh of one
and llsh of anothor. The fact that
Harris is white and his victim black
does not, alter tho case in the least,
and should not protect him from just
punishment at the hands of the law.
A N1X1 no preaclter of Chicago says
that they—meaning, we presume, the
negroes of Chicago—sent a detective
to Newnan, who obtained the mimes
of those who cut off Sam Holt’s ears,
fingers, etc., and will publish them to
l ho world in a pamphlet. The negro
junta of Chicago also learned from
this detective that Sam Holt was in
nocent of the most atrocious feature
of the double crime for which lie was
burned at the stake, nnd that he was
a badly-treated negro. Would it not
be n good idea for this negro preacher
to come to Georgia and personally
superintend the distribution of his
pamphlet'? He might be able to pick
up some additional data in regard to
the affair—provided he was not him
self picked up.
and should be either razed to the j
ground or robuilt on more ample
lines. A nice, airy, wide place in the ;
road would be preferable to the struc- j
ture which now blurs the perspective i
as one looks southward from the !
Kimball House corner.
Senator Mark Hanna nominated
a candidate for Governor at the Re- J
publican State Convention in Ohio
last week. We don’t now recall his
name; hut, then, that is of little con
sequence. Tho incident emphasizes
the fact that Senator Hanna is still
| the whole thing in Ohio, nnd that tho
Republican party of that State is a
very small affair. It doesn’t appear
that there is anything the matter with
Hanna at this writing.
Col. Steve Pohtell, the Atlnntn
correspondent of the Macon Teie-
j graph, is a prolific writer, and one of
I the most industrious newsgulherers in
Ati a NT .v probably has troubles
enough without being nagged by her
country neighbors; but, really, we
cannot resist tbe impulse to take a
fling nt the venerable pile which does
duty a a a union passenger depot iu
that city. That cramped and ill-
viaaged piece of architecture belongs
to the renaissance of a decade ago,
the State. The Telegraph’s Atlunta j

In the long days from 7 to 7 there is
more than time in which the demands
of our households may he supplied.
Every feeling of friendliness and
neighborly good will prompt me to
regret the sacrillce of social niuk
home privileges to unnecessary de
mands of business. Lot those of us
who keep tiie iiomes co-operate with
those whp keep the stores to make
the business hours shorter. A little

Crime on the Increase.
Macon Telegraph.
The Chicago Tribune has undertak
en tiie self-imposed task of recording
each lynching iu the United States as
it occurs and publishing once a year
tho statistics of the same. In January
it published the record for 1808, with
date, nanio of person, pluce and
crime. According to the Tribune, 127
persons were lynched in the United
States last year, 118 of these in the
Soutli and 0 In the North. Of tiie to
tal number 102 were negroos, 23
whites and 2 Indians. Of the 127 only
10 were for the nameless crime, 7 for
attempt and one for complicity; that
Is, only 24 out of 127 were for this
crime or for connection in any way
with it.
Now, if the Tribune would broaden
the scope of its statistics and include
nil the heinous crimes committed by
negroes against whito women, both
tiie frustrated and tiie successful at
tempts, that aro not followed by
lynching iih well as those that are fol
lowed by lynching, the country would
ha amszed at the record and would
better . understand the underlying
causes of the periodical outbreaks of
fury on the part of Southern white
men in the rural districts.
Renders of The Telegraph’s State
news service must have been struck
with the frequency of attempted as
saults on white women by negroes
since tiie Sam Holt affair. In no case
hns a lynching resulted, either be
cause the fiend has been shot by the
woninu attacked, has escaped capture,
or has been left in tbe hands of tbe
law. Since the first of June three
particularly horrible instances have
been reported, each successful, and
no lynching has as yet followed. The
flendish black ravisber of the little
white girl at Powder Springs on Jane
2 has not been captured. But the
black brute who outraged a white
woman 05 years old ut Cedartown ou
June 3 has been several days in jail,
and the negro who outraged the
youug wife of n white farmer near
Baxley on June 5 has also been
caught. Iu euch of the two latter
cases the criminal has been left in the
hands of the local representatives of
the law, the iufuriated citizens being
induced not to interfere by the prom
ise of a special session of the courts
and an immediate trial aud punish
ment.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of tiie mucous lin-
ing of llio Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect lieariug
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is tiie result, und unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that canuot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu

Distillery Broken Up Near Benoia.
There is considerable excitement a
few miles above town, near the line
of Fayette. On Sunday morning last
J. C. Huddleston and a negro discov
ered an illicit distillery belonging to
the noted moonshiner, J. H. McWil
liams. It seems that the place was
being carefully watched by an inter
ested party, who hurried away to in
form the owner that his “mountain
dew” factory had been discovered by
Mr. Huddleston. The still was lifted
carefully from the brick furnace and
conveyed to a place of concealment a
couple of miles away. McW illiams
and some of his friends arrived on tbe
scene shortly afterwards and spent
tiie remainder of the day searching
for tiie missing still, but did not Und
it. Early Monday morning news of
the discovery was wired to Atlanta;
but, fearing that the revenue officers
would not arrive in time to make tiie
seizure nnd catch everything belong
ing to the outfit. Mr. Huddleston, in
company with J. L. Shell and J. H.
Entreken, went to the distillery about
10 o’clock Monday morning. On
nearing the place they were fired
upon by McWilliams ami his crowd.
Without returning tiie lire, the par
ties beat a hasty retrent, closely fol
lowed by McWilliams and his gang for
nearly half a mile. A great many
shotH were fired, but fortunately no
one was hit. A couple of revenue of
ficers arrived on tiie scene late Mon
day afternoon and captured two wag
ons loaded with stands filled with
beer. They spent tiie night in the j
woods near by, and early Tuesday
morning got on McWilliams’ trail, but
after an exciting chnse he managed to
escape. After destroying the out lit
and everything pertaining to it the
officers returned to Atlanta. Several
urrosts are likely to follow, although
we trust no serious trouble will ensue.

Old "Minto."
Old “Minto,” a Newnan landmark
among quadrupeds, to our sorrow has
paid the last great debt of nature.
Our fuitlifui, four-footed friend was
associated with Newnan’s initiatory
hearse, and hence has a tender claim
on memory.
The tiny babe and tho aged grand-
patent, the manly youth and tiie bud
ding maiden, glorious manhood aud
lovely womanhood, alike has she
borne to the City of the Dead. Who
but can recull her seemingly respect
ful mien nnd almost reverential trend
us she bore away from us our heart’s
dearest treasurer?
Faithful old “Minto!” For more
than a decade of yeurs hns she im
plicitly obeyed tiie voice of her at
tached groom, Charlie Peak, heeding
him miudfuUy till the grim monster
called.
Tho hands of the beloved master
nnd mistress who once caressed her
have long since been clasped iu a bet
ter laud, to part no more.
With mingled emotions of sadness
and tenderness did wo leai'n of “Min-
to’a” demise, and we sigh for the
passing of ail humble friend, true and
tried. It is a tribute to the truest and
best in a man’s heart that he recog
nizes the claims of his dumb depend
ents, acknowledges their meritB, and
experiences ub their Voss a genuine
regret. W.

A Barbecue Friday, June 16, for
Benefit of Mt. Zion A. M. Church.
In order to make this a pleasant
occasion, and tbe day one of extreme
pleasure to all, we have arranged an
excellent programme. Prof. J. D.
Bibb, A. M., B. D., a polished orator,
will deliver an address. There will

racing, wheelbarrow racing, sack
racing.
There will be several games of base
ball, also. The following clubs have
been invited and will play: Senoia,
Turin, Sharpsburg, White Oak Clip
pers, Wesley Chapel Sand SiJters,
Powell Chapel, and Rosooe.
No pains will be spared to make the
occasion a great success. All the
pastors and their congregations, su
perintendents and their schools, are
cordially invited to come and help us
on that day. This is for the benefit
of the building fuud of Mt. Zion A.
M. E. Church,. Admission, 10c.;
children, 5c.

Lion or Nothing.
In these days when there are so
many different brands of coffee on the
market, the question is often asked as
I to which is tiie best kind to buy.
i Tastes will differ, but for the majority
j of persons we believe there is nothing
that will give better satisfaction than
Lion Coffee. Indeed, so great has
been its popularity that it, is difficult
now to get the genuine Lion Coffee
unless you know the style of package
in which it is sold. For the benefit of
our readors we will say that this pack
et lias the head of a lion on the front
and the words “Lion Coffee.” It is
always a sealed packet and the coffee
is ungrouud. It is never sold except
in 1 lb. packets. Any one who once
tries Lion Coffee will not willingly ac
cept any substitute for it thereafter.
