MOB LAW.
It lias come at last! The
people all over the country
1 a e been waiting with bated
breath for the crash and it fell
w th full force last Saturday
n ght in Atlanta.
While all good citizens de¬
plore the incident and are op¬
posed to mob law in any form,
the people of that city had
stood the outrages of brutal
negroes just as long as possi¬
ble, and while the officers of
the law were doing all in their
power, seemingly, to appre
hend these outragers of civil
ization they were growing
steadily worse in their fiendish
work, which became so un
bearable that a mob, five
thousand strong, rose up and
took the law into their own
hands.
It is a deplorable affair, but
it has brought the officers of
the law «f that good city to
their feet and has probably
done more to suppress this,
the greatest of crime, than
anything that could have been
done. The people have said
by their acti< n; that they will
not submit to anv more of
these crimes, and while the
innocent have been made to
suffer and the guilty go free,
it only shows that the guilty
must and will be punished be¬
fore the insatiable appetite for
revenge will ever be appeased.
The blacks should combine
with the whites in their efforts
to break up this organized
band of ravishers, and until
this is done we may look for
trouble.
Dalton is on the move
when it comes to new indus¬
tries, The latest is the Dal¬
ton Furniture Co., which will
he open for business next
week. These gentlemen will
arry anything you need in
furniture and at reasonable
M'ices.
Ttlk Gordon county fair
comes off next week and the
people of that good county
are spending e/ery entrg.- to
make it the best in Georgia.
The Twelfth IJ. S. cavalry
will be there and will give
daily exhibitions in drilling,
which will be instructive as
well as amusing. Ha r vie
Jordan will be there one day,
too, and it will be of interest
to every farmer to hear him
The management of the
Whitfield county fair this fall
is promising the people some¬
thing in the way of instruc¬
tion and amusement that far
surpasses.all previous efforts
on their part. One of the
special features in the way of
amusement is the daily drill of
the Twelfth U. S. cavalry.
They will also furnish music
for the occasion with their
famous band. The managers
of the fair are uniting in their
efforts to make this one of the
very best ever held in Dalton
and no doubt they will suc¬
ceed.
Benjamin H. Hili,, of At¬
lanta, is one of the candidates
for the proposed court of ap¬
peals. Mr. Hill came into the
race at the urgent solicitation
of many members of the bar,
who stated in their request for
him to become a candidate,
that he possessed “in a mark¬
ed degree the qualifications
essential to a good judicial
officer.” Mr. Hill adhered
closely to the practice of his
profession and has never be¬
fore been a candidate for any
office before the people. The
people of Murray county feel
a special interest in Mr. Hill’s
success. His first wife was
the daughter of Samuel M.
Carter, a greatly beloved cit¬
izen of this county. In the
selection of the judges for
this important court, the peo¬
ple will select the best mate¬
rial, and it is the united opin¬
ion of all who know Mr. Hill
and are familiar with his ca
r er as a lawyer, that both s g
to high personal character and
j e g a i attainments,he combines
qualifications which will
j ,s ure the pure and impartial
administration of the law and
t ^ e p fo tection of the rights of
the pe ople, VVe siucerely
trust that Mr, Hill will be
elected and that all the voter?
of Murray county will come
out and vote for him on next
Wednesday.

PREFERRED LASH TO A
Toccoa People Punish Impudent
Negro.
Toccoa, Ga., Sept. 22— For
some time past Bill Sadler has
beeu in the employ of the Falls
City Bottling Works, of Toccoa,
und on various occasions has im¬
bibed a litfle too freely, and
given the community some trou¬
ble on account o’ bis impudence.
Yesterday afternoon he was at
the home of J. M. Hogan, super¬
intendent of the Capps cotton
mills, on a business errand.
It is said he was drinking, and
while there slapped two of Mr.
Hogan’s little girls, aged about
9 and 11 years old.
Mr. Hogan was absent from
home, and without his knowledge
Mrs. Hogan notified the police,
and the negro was arrested and
placed in the lockup.
Late in the afternoon, when
Mr. Ilogan learned the facts, he
tried to obtain admittance to the
city prison so as to administer
summary justice to Sadler, but
was prevented by the officers,
and was persuaded by friends to
return to his home after swear¬
ing out a state warrant for the
negro.
This morning when the city
officers visited the calaboose Sad¬
ler was not to be found.
During the afternoon and even¬
ing there was talk on the streets
of lynching Sadler, but
beads prevailed, and by midnight
the town was perfectly quiet.
Investigation shows that dur¬
ing the night five or six men vis¬
ited the prison and took the
negro out. lie* was taken out
side the city limits towards
Carolina line, stripped of
clothing, and given the choice
between hanging or forty-nine
lashes and leaving the state,
never to return.
It is said he chose the latter,
that a buggy trace was used, ami
that the 'party who had him in
charge forgot to count the num¬
ber of lashes.
The Breath of Life.
It’s a significant fact that the
strongest animal of its size, the
gorilla, also has the largest lungs.
Powerful lungs mean powerful
creatures. How to keep the
breathing organs right should be
man’s cbiefest study. Like thou¬
sands of others, Mrs. Ora A. iSte
phens, of Port Williams, O., has
learned how to do this. She
writes: “Three bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery stopped
my cough of two years and cured
me of what my friends thought
consumption. (), it’s grand for
throat and lung troubles,” Guar¬
anteed by 0. D. Dole, grocer,
Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle
free.
TRYING TO MAKE
WAY BACK HOME
Twelve*Year-Old Kentucky Boy
Finds Friends at
Macon.
Macon, Ga., Sept, 23.—On a
lonely journey to Woodbine,Ky.,
by Frank Strickland, a twelve
year-old boy, was taken from tho
Central train here last night,
given a night’s lodging with
Manager A. M. Taylor, of the
Hotel Stewart, and later furnish
ed food and clothing until he
c >uld be taken in by
Gunn, at the Georgia Industrial
home. II is father and mother
had died in their Kentucky home,
and after going with a stepmoth¬
er to Leesburg, fate again over¬
took him in the death of the
second kindly woman.
Clad in thin workshirt and
overalls, the boy started back
his old home, but a
s night to put him off the train
at Smithviile. A Sparta drug¬
gist, seeing the situation, stood
f >r the fare, and saw the boy in
safe hands here before resuming
his own journey. He was struck,
as were others, with the intelli¬
gent face and careworn expres¬
sion of the boy. He casts his
fortune with the home until rel¬
atives in Kentucky are located.

Fishing for Grouse.
“I was fishing on the Kather¬
ine last week,” said a well-known
La Grande trout enthusiast, says
the La Grande (Wash.) Observ¬
er, “when I unintentionally vio¬
lated the game laws.”
“How did it happen?” asked
the Observer man.
Lowering his voice and exact¬
ing a promise not to tell the
game warden, the enthusiastic
fisherman continued:
“I was on the North fork of
the Katherine, a couple of miles
above J. B. Thompson's, using
grasshoppers for bait and doing
pretty well, having about half a
basketful, when in making a
specially long cast the sun got in
iny eyes and my line went up in
the top of a fallen tree. I didn’t
have time to Jcuss before I got
the allfiredest ‘strike’ you can
imagine, and a big grouse flew
o it directly over my head. It
had swallowed my grasshopper
and was well hooked. I played
the bird in the air fully five min¬
utes before I reeled it in.”
“That was a peculiar accident”
remarked the Observer man.
“\ T es, the first one was acci¬
dental,” replied the fisherman,
“but it j u" n e wise 'o a new line
of sport, and I kept on up the
creek for half a mile casting in
the trees on the bank. I got
only four more grouse and a chip¬
munk, and, of course, I let ’em
all go again, but I’n: going back
soon as the season opens. It beats
any trout fishing I ever had.”
