THREE NEGROES
HINGTGf RROW
Convicted of Killing Mrs. Irby
at Louisville, Ga., They Still
Maintain Their Innocence.
Atlanta, Ga.—With only 24 hours
longer to live the three Jefferson coun
ty negroes, condemned for the mur*
der of Mrs. Beth Irby of Louisville,
Mill maintain their innocence.
The case 1h made peculiar and puz
zling hy one of the negroes, Robert
Paschal, who admits that he wan on
the scene when Airs. Irby was murder
ed and hy his ataternent completely
exonerates the two hoys who havr
been condemned to die with him and
names two negroes who were at one
time arrested but later released, as
th<* real murderers.
Tiie three negroes will he hanged by
the sheriff of Fulton county on Friday
unless the governor intervenes, and
the Attorneys for the negroes have
little hope f«>r a stay of the execu
tion.
The three negroes, Paschal and
George and William Hart, brothers,
were tried Jointly in the Fulton superi
or court a number of months ago." At
the trial they had no detailed state
ments to make and appeared to he
dazed and not to understand that the
court was about to order their death.
Startling Statement.
A short time before the date first
set for their execution, Paschal made
the startling statement that two ne
groes named Beasley murdered Mrs.
Irby and that he had been compelled
by them to stand by and witness the
deed. After the commission of the
murder, which was extremely brutal
in its details, he said that he walked
with the Beasley hoys to the home
of the two Harts and he was still there
hut the Beasleys had gone when the
bloodhounds led a posse to the house.
On this statement an appeal for n
new trial was made and refused by the
superior court, which was sustained by
the supreme court.
When the boys were arraigned be
fore Judge Hill recently to be resen
tenced, Paschal repeated Ills state
ment exonerating the Hart hoys, and
In tim face of the gallows ne clings
to it.
Admitted the Crime.
At the original trial officials of the
various Jails in which they had been
housed before they were brought to
Atlanta testified that the defendants
had admitted the crime. It was also
claimed by witnesses that a knife
found at the scene of the murder was
the property of one of the Harts.
If the three negroes pay the penalty
for murder on Friday It will he the
first triple hanging in this county in
many years. It will also he the first
execution here under the law author
izing a change of venue.

THE ADVENTURES
OF PUSSY-PUSS.
Pussy-Puss was a white kitten and
her Mother flrey Puss tried to bring
her up to behave as a well-mannered
kitten should behave, but Pussy-Puss
had a hard time of it.
Pussy-Puss was very inquisitive, and
her Inquiring mind got her into trou
ble one day she did not soon forget.
"Pussy-Puss." said her mother one
morning, “I am going down by the
barn to get a mouse, now you are all
dressed In your slickest coat and don’t
you get mussed while I am away.”
Pussy-Puss looked very wise and sat
in the sun swinging her tail, which
meant she would try to be a very good
puss.
Now, all would have gone well If she
had stayed right In the sun on tho
steps, hut she didn't a bee (lew past
her and as the door was open the bee
went into the house.
Pussy-Puss followed, Jumping at the
bee and trying to hit it with her paw.
hut the bee was too quick and flew too
high for Pussy-Puss, and perhaps It
did not even see Pussv-Puss anyway,
It kept on flying, and upstairs it went
and Pussy-Puss followed It.
It alighted on the side of the door at

All Right, Preacher, Old Kid.
The men lig the office where Tom worked were In the habit of meet
ing in a saloon nearby and shaking dice for the drinks every evening
arter work, ltefore Tom married Jennie, he also had this habit and
drank his share with the rest of them anil sometimes evmt more than his
share, lint after getting married he saw It was so foolish and suoh false
fun that h« stopped suing with the bunch and liutrled home every even
ing instead.
Son e of the fellow s kidded him about. being ‘'henpecked” nnd a

»’« !* l1 'l be a llvs one and show a little speed.” Tom said.
Oh, 111 be a live on* all right when most of you aro planted and as
for the speed part of It, I don t know of any of you that can show any

YOU ARE NOW until you start to go back, for no one In this world

As Tom left them, amid much laughter on their part, one hollered
after him—“ Alt right, preacher, old kid!"
Funny thing, thought Tom. A fellow will .spend four ur live dollars

the top of the stairs, and this was
Pussy Puss’ chance. She went up to
It and tapped it with her paw.
"Buo-z-zb-z-z” went the hoe and
“ni-e-o-w” went Pussy-Puss, and away
she Hew looking for a place to hide
from the horrid animal wMth a pin that
pricked dreadfully.
On the landing half way up the stairs
was an old-fashioned clock, and some
one had left the door open; that was
the place that tlrst struck Pussy-Puss
frightened gaze and into It she went,
landing at the bottom and she huddled
Into the corner and kept very still.
In a minute after some one passed
up the stairs and seeing tno door of tho
old clock open, they closed it without
seeing Pussy-Puss in the bottom.
By ajtd by Pussy-Puss got over her
fright but not her him, for hot paw
still hurt very much, but she wanted
her mother so she tried to get out.
Her W'ell foot could not get her very
far, nml back she went to the bottom of
the clock.
Just then the most awful noise,
sounded like thunder Pussy-Puss
thought. It seemed ns though it would
never stop; ten times It sounded, and
then all was quiet.
Pussy-Puss was so frightened that
t
she did not move or cry for fully five
minutes, she thought that terrible ani
mal with a big pin had returned with
all his friends to stick her again.
By and by she cried “me-ow, me
ow,” but not one heard her. then again
that terrible noise came, but only once,
and then all was still and Pussy went
to sleep.
But she was awakened by that awful
noise again and this time it sounded
eleven times before it stopped.
Pussy-Puss jumped up and some
thing struck her and then all W'as still,
very still, for before that she had not
“Well How in the world did you get
in there?”
hoard a little ticking sound and some
thing had moved back and forth, but It
had not touched her before.
Down she lay again and went to
sleep, and this time she slept, without
that dreadful noise frightening her.
But what she did hear was her moth
er calling her and she answered, but
her mother did not come to get her out
of that dark place.
Again she heard her mother, and
again she answered and then all was
quiet for a while and Pussy-Puss went
to sleep again.
The next time she awakened she
heard some one coming up the stairs
and a voice said, "What can have hap
pened to the clock; I never knew it to
stop before; it was wound this morn
ing?"
Then the door opened and Pussy-
Pus cried “me-ow" as loud as she
could.
"Well, how in the world did you get
In here?” asked her mistress. “Your
mother Is looking for you everywhere.
You are the one who stopped the clock,
aren't you?
“Why, Pussy-Puss, what is the mat
ter with your paw?" It Is swollen."
"Me-ow, me-ow," answered Pussy-
Puss, and then Mother Grey Puss
heard her child and came running up
the stairs.
“Your baby has hurt her paw," said
her mistress; "we have to put a band
age on It."
So Pussy-Puss had a cloth bound on
her paw and something that she did
not like the smell of put on it.
That afternoon when they were lying
in the sun, Pussy-Puss told her moth
er about the animal that had the big
pin and hurt her foot.
“That was a sting, not n pin prick,”
said her mother, "but how In the world
did you Ret Into the clock?"
“I hid In there to get away from the
buzxy animal," said Pussy-Puss, "and
then It came back with al Its friends
and tried to And me. Oh. such a noise
as they made! Pang! Bang! Bang!
ever so mnnv times, and then stopped
for a long time and then they began
again.”
“That wasn't bees," said Mother
Grey Puss “It must have been the
clock striking."
Pussy-Puss did not feel sure about
It. but every time she was near the
clock when It struck, for a long time
after that, she would run and hide un
til It ceased.

the admirers of Judge Speer should
rejolc* at the situation, hut every man
with red Mood In his veins, who loves
right and Justice as he hates liars and

MACON NEWS JUMPS ON
“LITTLE JOE”
If any more of this tiresome twaddle
about "Little Joe" and his "Cherokee
farm” appears in the several news
papers which are addicted to that sort
of piffle, the people of Georgia will be
everlastingly sickened, for all time,
of politics.
What difference does it make wheth
er Joe Brown goes to hts Cherokee
farm or "whether he stays in Mari
etta?
And who cares whether he does the
one or the other?
What has his trip to the farm, or
his sojourn in the classic county of
Cobb got to do with Georgia poli
tics?
Several alleged political writers,
with a puerile sense of humor, seem
to think it excruciatingly funny to
call attention to the fact every day or
so that "Little Joe” is either going to
or returning from or staying on his
Cherokee farm.
Well, suppose he does, or is, or
won’t, or will—what then, what now?
If he wants to run, let him run. It
Is as certain as anything that he will
never do bo again.
