Meadows, a mulatto negro, was
lynched in this city about 4 o’clock

over 500 citizens of Meriwether.

and his victim was Nora Camp,
the seven-year-old daughter of
Captain Benson Camp, one of the
most highly respected citizens ot
Meriwether county, who lives
about five miles from Senoia.
The screams of the child brought
her mother to the rescue and the
negro fled. The little one was
frightfully bruised and left in a
critical condition.
The crime was committed Sun
day afternoon and the police of
Griffin were notified yesterday

thought to be heading this way
and to keep a sharp lookout tor

Saring the visit of
lung Chang, the 1
and Old Man of
a," to this coun
the New York Sum
of him: “He is
large, strong, im
ressive specimen
t manhood He
has a massive I
frame, a shapely 1
head, a command
ing face and well
posed features.
He is a keen ob
servant of man
kind, of life and
of things He is
seventy-four years of age and still in the
hey day of his power.’’
If a Chinaman, usually regarded by us as
a barbarian, can live to a healthy, hale old
age, why cannot Americans, with their
more advanced civilization, do the same?
The reporters discovered during Li Hung
Chang’s stay in this country, that he took
every thought for his health He lived
upon the simplest of diets and never passed
a day without consulting his physician
He limited his toil to a reasonable number
of hours, and would not deviate from his
rule in this matter. American men follow
just the opposite practice. They work to
the limit of endurance, will not even take
the proper time for eating, resting and
sleeping. a(|d never think of their health
until it is girtie. There is a wonderful med
icine for hard ■ working men. It is Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Aledical Discovery. It
takes the place oF a physician. It keejis
away ill-health and restores health when it
is lost. It is the great appetite sharpener,
blood-maker and slosh builder. It makes
the digestion perfect, the liver active and
the blood pure and rich. Medicine dealers
sell it.
■ My husband had been a robust young man."
writes Mrs M. ]. Tedder, of Ellington. Reynolds
Co., Mo. “ When he was 31 vears old he began
to cough very hard. He had pains through his
chest and lungs. His mother and the rest of his
family had died with consumption He con
tinned to cough every winter, until in 1883 he
had an attack of pneumonia. His cough grew
worse and worse. He would vomit immediately
after his meals. In 1888 he coughed night and
day. He was getting very weak and nad no
appetite. He commenced Dr Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets.' He
improved. His appetite got better. When he
had taken seven bottles he looked like a new
man and felt like a new person. He weighs
more than he ever weighed before. He gained
twenty eigiit pounds and is cured.”
were mistaken.
When the officers with their
rpisener reached Hill street, just
•yposite the Baptist church, the
nob, which had swelled to st
least 500 determined and heavily
a m»d men, leveled th<*ir weapons
on them and demanded the pris
oner.
Resistance was useless, but Of
ficer Connor begged the crowd to
allok him to proceed to the jail
xnd Ist the law take its course
Before he ceased speaking both he
and Officer Fiynt were pulled out
ot the buggy, their places were
taken by two of the most fearlees
the mob and am'd triumphant
ehoute the party hastily left ti e
city.
They proceeded out to the west
ern suburbs »ud hanged him on
tbh same limb on which O-«cai
Williams was hanged July 22 1897
for assaulting a little six year old
girl in Clayton county.
After placing the rope around
Meadow’s neck he confessed tn the
crime and his body was pulled up
several feet from the ground and
completely riddled with bullets.
After making sure their work
was well done the crowd quietly
left the scone and returned to their
homes, but ready and willing to
assemble again and as often as
black fiends commit that greates'
of crimes.
This makes ihe third lynching
to cccur i.i Griffin within the last
two years and each time the crime
was c immitted in some other c un
ty than Spalding and parlies w’ho
took the law in their hands were
principally friends and neighbors
ot the innocent victims to the lusi
of black brute*.
Texans Hang A Negro.
Palestine, Tex . Aug. B—Sun
day morning the wife of a promis
nent railroad man and a young
lady visiting her were awakened by
a negro.in the room, endeavoring
to chlorform them. They scream*
ed and he escaped. La er, Dan Ogg,
a negro, was arrested and identi
fied by the ladies. At midnigt a
mob of 200 men invaded the jail,
secured Ogg and hanged him in
the courthouse yard. A volley us
100 shots fired into the swinging
body. The negroes are excited and
sullen, claiming O'g was innocent.

RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these 1
days of “yellow" journalism. They care little for truth 1
and a great deal for temporary sensation. 1
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD. j
, The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability. S
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth ■
about it. «
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city S
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and it» ■
,x own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both s
T hemispheres. I
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world., I
Its war news service is unapproachably the best. I
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier: i
“We read the war news in the other papers, I
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to |
see how much of it is true.” i
