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. Uarle Boh'i Haunting Smile.

After listening to the case at tentively, Judge Ebwards award ed the plaintiff $65 and the ex pense of the suit.

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.

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.
