FOULLY MURDERED.
Robert F. Davis, of Decatur, is
Shot Down By a Mid
night Assassin.
Robert F. Davis, a prosperous
DeKalb county farmer, who lived
one mile from Decatur, on the
Stone Mouutain road, was assassi
nated in his home at 1 o’clock
Friday morning
Mr. Davie was awakened from
hie slumbers by a noise at the win
dow. He arose and struck a match.
At that iustant the assassin fired
through the window. The bullet
struck Mr Davis in the right side.
He staggered back and fell in the
arms of his wife. He was mortal
ly wounded and died.
The identity of the murderer is
not positively known, but all cir
cumstances point to a negro farm
hand named Will Lucas, who was
discharged from service Thursday
by Mr. Davis, as the guilty man .
The negro probably had a double
motive for the crime, revenge and,
it is believed, the intention of
criminally assaulting one of the
lady members of the family.
The negro made an attempt to
enter the house by the front door
at about 9 o’clock, but was driven
off by Mr. Davis, who raised the
window and plainly saw' the negro
on the front steps. That the
-fatal shot was not fired then was
due to the darkness about Mr. Da
vie and the uncertainty of a shot
in the dark.
The family, consisting of Mr.
Davis, his wife and daughter, were
in the sitting room when the ne
gro made the attempt to enter the
house by the front door. After
the negro had been driven away
the family retired, and the house
hold grew still in slumber.
At 1 o’clock Mr. Davis was sud
denly awakened by a noise at the
back window of a room across the
hallway from the sleeping rooms.
The room is a large otid where the
unused lumber of the recently fin
ished house is stored. The white
haired victim of the impeudiug
tragedy crossed the hallway and
entered the lumber room. At the
door he struck a match and held
it above his head. The lighted
match furnished the opportunity
for a good aim for the assassin,
who was peering in at the window.
From the marks in the soft
earth near the window the assas
sin’s very attitude can be deter
mined. When Mr. Davis entered
the room the negro sprang back
from the window and knelt on a
m. und of earth twenty steps away.
All was dark within the room un
til the match flared up and showed
the victim standing at the door in
his night robes. The assassin wait
ed no longer. Raising his weapon
he fired through the window. The
thin light went out and the room
was again wrapped in darkness.
The murderer could not have pos
sibly known at the time the ef
fect of his shot.
Mr. Davis staggered back to tl e
hall and fell into the arms of Mrs,
Davis, who had followed her hus
band into the hall.
“I’m shot,” was all he said.
Mrs. Davis helped the wounded
husband into the sleeping room
and managed to get him into bed.
Then she aroused the household
and soon the entire neighborhood
was hurrying to the house. The
Davis house is some distance from
the nearest neighbor, and it was
some time before the first neighbor
arrived.
The murderer had tired the shot
from the back yard. The bullet j
went through a window pane, leav
ing a small clean cut hole, struck
Mr. Daviß in the right side, passed
upward through both the left and j
right peritineal cavities, punctured 1
the right lobe of the liver and
lodged in the left lung.
The murdered man was a broth
er-in-law to Judge John M. Mills
and Mr. John S. Porter, of our I
citv, having married a sister of Mr.
Mills; besides he had a large circle
of relatives in Gwinnett county.
Will I iucas, the supposed mur
derer, was captured in Atlanta
Monday night, where he had been
in hiding since the crime was com
mitted. He protests, and says he
is innocent.
Gov. Candler had offered a re
ward of SBOO for the guilty party,
and the citizens of DeKalb county
had offered S2OO, making SSOO in
all. Lucas is confined in the tow
er of the Fulton county jail, where
be will be kept till he is tried by
the DeKalb superior court. Should
the negro be carried to Decatur he
would without doubt be lynched.
YANKEE SOLDIERS LYNCH A NE3RO.
The Only Lynching That Ever Occurred
In Lawrenoevtlle.
Just at this time while the Nort
hern papers are making such an ado
about the lynching of Sam Hos»,
the negro fiend, it may be inter
esting to relate the story of the
first and only lynching that ever
occurred in Lawrenceville.
It was in the year 1865, when a
detatchment of soldiers belonging
[ to the 100th Ohio regiment, under
! command of Capt. Hunter, were
stationed here.
A negro boy, aged about 22 years,
i named McConnell, committed an
assault on the person of the Wid
:OW Chesser, living near town. His
: crime created intense excitement,
I and after diligent search by th»
i civil authorities the negro was ar
rested and brought to town for
| trial.
A large crowd followed him, and
threats of lynching was freely in
dulged in. The negro appealed to
Capt. Hunter and the Yankee s( 1-
diers to protect him. Hut when
the revolting details of his shock
ing crime were reported to Capt.
Hunter he not only refused to pro
tect the negro, but turned his sol
diers loose to do as they pleased
with the brute. They determined
to hang him forthwith. A rope
was procured and put around the
criminal’s neck, he was placed in
a cart and the rope thrown over
the limb of a pine tree standing in
the court house yard, and an old
negro man put up in front of the
cart as the driver. When all was
in readiness the command was giv
en for the old negro to drive ahead,
and the body of the negro rapist
was left dangling in the air, sur
rounded by Capt. Hunter’s men,
who prodded his wriggling body
with their bayonets in his death
throes. The body was left swing
ing all day, when it was cut down
and afterwards buried, withoutcof
fin or shroud, in the outskirts of
town.
This lynching had a great moral
effect on the negroes of this sec
tion, and the crime of rape has
never been repeated by one of their
number from that day to this, on
the person of a white woman.
Capt. Hunter was never discip
lined by his superior officers for
the part he and his men played in
the lynching.
This incident is related to show
that human nature is the same the
world over, and that negroes are in
danger of being lynched just as
quickly by Ohioans as Georgians
when they commit the usual crime
that invites their death at the
hands of an outraged community.
Towler dives Bond.
For some time excitement has
run high in a section of Vinegar
Hill district over the conduc' of
John L.Towler toward Mr. Taylor
Peevy, It will be remembered by
readers of the News and Messen
ger that we gave an account of
this fight several weeks ago. The
facts are briefly these. Peevy
was summoned before the last
grandjury and gave evidence upon
which two true bills were found
against Towler. About a mouth
ago, Towler and his son went to
Peevy’s home “to smooth it over,”
but wound up by making attacks
on Peevy and his son. In the
fights which followed the Towlers
were worsted.
Young Towler gave bond to
Sheriff Arnold a few days after
the occurrence. Sheriff Arnold
was unable to obtain John L.
Towler for several weeks. Finally
through the aid of friends, it was
arranged for Towler to meet Sher
iff Arnold last Saturday. The
appointment was kept, the meet
ing occurring at the home of Mr.
John L. Perry. Rond was made
out for T.owler on all of the bills
and warrents against him. There
were two truebills for misdemean
ors. Bond was fixed in each of
these at SIOO. A peace warrent
had been sworu out and bail was
fixed ou this at SIOO. The war
rant for assault with intent to
murder was considered the most
serious of the charges and bail
was fixed on this at $l5O. This
! makes a total of $450 that Mr. j
Towler has given bond for. His
bondsmen ure Messrs. Ben Towler
and Arch Perry. The commit*
j ment trial will occur next fourth
Saturday on the assault and bat
tery cace. —Walton News.

LoganvUle In Litigation.
The town of Logativille wn3 a
defendant last week in an inter
esting case before Judge Ed
wards. Mr. W. H.Ford brought
suit against the town for dnmagps
done to his property to the a
inount of SIOO. It required a day
and a half to dispose of the ruse,
ft appears from the evidence that
jn widening out the streets, the
town authorities moved Mr. Ford’s
ft nee back several feet, .filled his
well, and otherwise lessened (life
value of his property without con
sulting Mr. Ford in the matter.
After listening to the case at
tentively, Judge Ebwards award
ed the plaintiff $65 and the ex
pense of the suit. Mr. Stone, the
defendant’s counsel, gave notice
that un appeal will be made to
the Superior Court on the ground
that the County Court has no ju
risdiction in the case. The plain
tiff was represented by Messrs.
Napier A Cox.
Since winning the above men
tioned case. Mr. Fold has shaved
his mustuche off’. His Loguriville
friitids could scarcely recognize
him now —so complete is his dis
guise.—Walton News.

A Sad Death.
On Sunday May 7, 1899, the
Angel of Death entered the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Brooks and
took from their loving embrace
their sweet little babe, Sallie May,
aged 1 year and 7 months. The
blow was much harder to fear
because she was the idol of their
home She was an exceptionally
bright child, and the deepest sym
pathy of the whole community,
and loving friends everywhere, go
out to the bereaved ones. May a
loving Father speedily heal their
bruised and bleeding hearts. The
sweet little babe is gone, her
bright eyes are closed, her sweet
voice is hushed, but her spirit is
forever at rest with God and the
angels. Her body was laid to
rest in McKendrie cemetery.

HOPE.
Hope, bright. sparkling, fickle one,
Spread* all her pinions wide.
And sweetly and serenely
Will, for a time, with man abide.
But when the clouds of loss grow dark.
When Time paint-* the earth in saddened
grey,
’Tia theh this fickle creature
Folds her tent and flits away.
And woe to him thus forsaken.
For the Future is shrouded In furfural
night.
And in all the scenes around him
Not one portraj a ray of light-
For a time he struggles blindly on
Until at last he no longer can,
’Tis then he gladly welcomes Death
Forsaken by Hope, forgotten by Man.

UdSuS llul Ul I 81l A notice, until, in many cases, the deadly
ft _ jiii disease is fully developed.
Cure Found 3t L3SI. Cancer can not be cured by a surgical
operation, because the disease is a virulent
poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although
the sore or ulcer —known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the
poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with
renewed violence.
The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de
spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of
the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. S. S. proved
equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glaa news
spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated _ rii |
beyond doubt that a cure had at last been
found for deadly Cancer, Evidence has accu
ululated which is incontrovertible, of which ■
the following is a specimen : C"J?ts3r
“Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a vT
•inter and an aunt having died from this dreadful
disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor- iSbk- V* 1

a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as '
to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond the
skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good w

first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen
bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the
dreadful affliction, though manv years have elapsed. S. S. S. is the only cure
for Cancer.— Mrs. S. M. Idol, Winston, N. C. a
