Fort Gaines, Ga., April 14.—Bob
Burnett, the country merohant, who
was murdered in a room in his store
near Fort Gaines, yesterday morning,
by a Negro who had entered the store
for the purpose of robbery, an account
of wliioh appeared in yesterday’s IIkk-
ali), was captured yesterday afternoon
and carried to the scene of his crime
where a large 1110b had colleoted.
He confessed the murder, and at
onco preparations to burn him alive
were made. A feqce was torn down
and the rails piled around a fat light-
wood stump, the prisoner tied, and
laid on top.
Kerosene was poured over him and
i the pile of wood; the Negro beg
ging pitifully to be spared. The orowd
yelled with fury and delight.
Some one touched a match to the
wood and the flames shot twenty feet
Into the air. Amid the craokling of
the flames and the scrpnms of the vio-
tim pistol shots rang upon the air and
dozen balls perforated the body of
the helpless wretch.
The Negroes formed a majority of
the mob and did most of the work of
preparing the bonfire, Negro men
and women, with long poleB, stood
around and pushed the chunks on the
roasting flesh. The victim of the cre
mation was a Negro whose name was
unknown. Young Burnett, whom he
murdered, was one of the lending
young men of Quitman oounty, and
belongs to an old and arlstooratio fam
ily, whose mansion is one of the finest
old houses remaining from ante hel
ium days.
WHERE MIRE AND MPARKI.INR

From Saturday’s Evening Herald,
Edley Robb-son, is the name of a
Negro tenant on the Greenfield plan
tation near the city, and he will go on
record as a man with a skull like
adamant.
The dashing, rollioklng Robinson
went to a “cake \Va)k” dance on the
farm last night, and was having a
grand and glorious time for a while.
A. is usual, a orowd of young bucks
assembled outside the house to display
their agility and physical prowess,
and it was during this kind of sport
that alert Edley allowed his cranium
to come in contaot with the sharp
oorner of a huge flint rook. And
strange enough the rook was not
broken, though considerably bruised
Edley’s companions discovered that he
was bleeding profusely from a wound
in the head. He was carried home,
where all the cobwebs, turpentine,
liniment, etc., on the plantation were
used to stop the flow of blood. But
tho blood didn’t stop until about 2

Robinson found that he was very weak
from the great loss of the life fluid.
When, at last, the cobwebs, rags and

It would be a long story to tell of

far, the planting and cultivating sea

This question of water supply is one
that has agitated cities for many years
and one, for the proper solution of
which,'thousands of people are clam
oring. Usually where the water is
pure the supply is insufficient and
where the supply is sufficient the
water isjmpure. It is only in spec
ially favored sections that the supply
is largely above the demand and at
the same time so pure that a chemist,
carefully examining its molecules and
bringing to bear upon them every art
of his science to find Impurities, is
unsuccessful. But that is the case in
Albany and that is why it can be said
that Albany is blessed.
Truly wonderful is Albany’s water
works system, and the whole people
should be thankful to the present and
past municipal boards for providing
such a luxury to bless our people.
