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. RICHMOND CO. lICN RIDDANCE Cattle Tick Eradication Report Made For Month of May. Co operation Urged.

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 AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. PMaMi hi ii Ifll Iff! ill VHuu »f y^wßy^yy^y_' 1 j jQ All Right, Preacher, Old Kid.

Son e of the fellow s kidded him about. being ‘'henpecked” nnd a •tight wad” Mid one evening when somr of the old crowd 'said to him »’« !* 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 more than I have, except In the drinking line.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. INDOOR SPORTS . By Tad 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. (Copyright.

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.
