THE HILL LYNCHING.
Details of How a Murderer Met
Speedy Death.
Centerville, Ala , June 7. —The
lynching of Will Hill, colored, ac
complice of his brother, Alex Hill,
who on Monday shot and killed
Mrs. Rufus Hubbard and wounded
Mr. Hubbard and his little child
near Eoline, has been confirmed.
Hill was shot to death near the
Hubbard home early yesterday
morning.
Hill was captured about ten
miles from the scene of the mur
der by a posse of fifty men. He
was hid in a negro, cabin where
friends had concealed him.
It was determined that he should
be taken back to the scene of the
dastardly crime and the journey
to the Hubbard home was at once
begun.
Just after daylight the humble
cottage of Rufus Hubbard appear
ed on the hill top. The only noise
that could be heard as the posse
approached was the crying of the
4-weeks old infant., which had
been rendered motherless by the
brutal deed of Alex Hill on Mon
day. It was this child that was
shot through the hand when its
mother was ruthlessly slain by the
negro.
Hubbard at once identified the
negro, who was led into his room,
as the man who was with Alex Hill
when the murder occurred .
It was soon decided that the ne
gro should die at the hands of Mr.
Hubbard.
Almost absolute silence pre
vailed when two stalwart men
carried in a chair the sick and
suffering husband, pale and full of
grief, to the spot where death was
to be meted out to the negro.
The negro was ordered to stand
on a pine box. which gave him a
slight elevation. He awaited his
death stoically and without a
murmur.
A gun was handed to Hubbard,
and with trembling hand he fired
the first shot at the man. Then
came a second shot, and then came
a volley from the crowd, and Hill
fell to the earth riddled with bul
lets.
His body was afterward removed
and buried.

Hubbard fainted from the excite
ment and weakness and was earned
back to his room and attended by sev
eral friends.
Alex Hill is still at large. Some of
the pursuers were confident es catch
ing him last night, but at last accounts
they had not succeeded.
Governor Johnston has offered a re
ward of S4OO for his arrest, and citi
zens have added SIOO to this, making
a totat reward of SSOO.

$3,000 life insurance and will get
a pension from the government as
long as she lives. Still there are
people who say it don’t pay to ad

THE STRAWBERRY CROP,
t And Why the Growers Lost
Money.
I i BY J. 8. FOWLER.
’ 1 I have been requested to give my
’ i version of the failure of the straw-
I I berry crop to bring renumerative
* prices.
' I have some information at hand
* which may be of value to us as
* fruit growers, and to the county
at large, for I am certain that the
interests of the fruit grower and
1 those of the county at large, are
identical.
’ Advices from northern markets
1 show that our fruit got to its des
tination in bad condition as a rule.
1 That condition must therefore bear
1 its part of the blame for the pre
vailing low price. The condition
1 generally reported by commission
men as “wet or leaky,” which
1 means that the berries were crush
ed or bruised, settled down in the
1 cups, causing the juice to drip.
* Such berries invariably bring low
1 prices, and if the market is full,
sometimes fail to sell at all. The
* cause of this conditon may well be
inquired into.
1 Berries that are too ripe at pick
-1 ing, or that are improperly graded,
or not graded at all by the picker,
will invariably reach the market
in a “leaky” condition.
I found great difficulty in get
ting pickers to leave out rotten
berries from the cups. Os course,
berries that ure soft and wet at
picking cannot fail to be in a worse
condition, after being hauled for
miles over a rough road even in a
spring wagon, and then transported
from 300 to 600 miles by rail, oc
cupying from one to three days in
transit. No doubt a part of our
trouble arises from poor picking.
Many of the berries brought into
our packing houses were so soft
and rotten as to be unfit for ship
ment, and rather than put them
on the market, were fed out to the
hogs, thus increasing our losses.
Thecondition of the road will be
noted also in this connection.
Strawberries, however well pick
ed and packed, if hauled over a
road on which it is impossible to
drive without the wheels more or
less constantly strike rocks or drop
into holes and ruts, cannot get to
market in a good condition The
jar and jolt will settle the berries
in the cups and thus bring about
the above wet and leaky condition.
The highways should be made
smooth, and every effort be made
to shorten the haul ss much as
possible. We have had to haul our
berries too far over rough roads.
The lateness of the spring will
have to be noticed as one point
over which we can have no con
trol, and for which there is, ap
parently, no remedy—certainly
not in our hands.
It appears that North and South
Carolina both, were shipping their
berries in car lots before we began.
To properly account for that is
somewhat difficult. Being in about
the same latitude, I cannot account
for the earlier ripening of their
crop, satisfactorily to myself, ex
cept it be by virtue of the gulf
j stream warming their shores. And,
admitting that view of the case to
be the true one, I do not see but
; that we are helpless, unless we can
get Brother R. A. McWhorter to
I fence it off and turn its course,
thus giving North Georgia and
South Carolina an even chance.
Seriously, as an ex-president has
said, “It is a condition and not a
theory that confronts us,” and un
less we can ameliorate, at least
some of these untoward circum
stances, I greatly fear that we
shall continue to labor at a disad
vantage, and, of course in that
i event, it is only a question of time
I when the fruit industry of North
Georgia, from which ao much has
Royai. s»»

i been expected, will languish and
perhaps, die.
But, it is a condition that con
fronts us. I say, let us confront
thecondition. Many of these hin
drances to success can and ought
to be, nay more, must be remedied.
Pickers must'learn to see that
in serving their employer’s inter
ests, they serve their own.
Roads can be straightened and
thus shortened and smoothed.
One thing I can say of the pick
ers in this vicinity, when they
were shown that the growers were
losing money on shipments, they
voluntarily picked the balance of
the crop at a half cent less per
quart. This shows the right spirit
in them, and that fact is much ap
preciated by said growers.
And now in conclusion, I say
let us go forward, clean out our
berry fields and do all we can to
bring success another year.
Providence he'ps those best who
helps themselves.
First Hanging in 41 Years.
Lancaster, Pa., June 7.—Ralph
W. Wireback, the murderer of D.
