HALF-SHORN
The Barber Stowed when he
Found his Customer Broke.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 8. —The
head of James Leneran, of this city
is now in a condition that excites
universal attention. The right half
of it is as bare of hair as the palm
of his hand, while the left is adorn
ed by flowing locks.
Yesterday Leneran entered the
barber shop of Charles Wilson and
asked for a shave. His request
was complied with and then he
asked for a hair cut, saying that
he wanted the hair taken off the
scalp.
Wilson began work, practically
shaving one side of Leneran’s head.
When half through Leneran said
he had only 10 cents, and that
Wilson would have to credit him
for the remainder. It was not one
of Wilson’s credit days and he
immediately ceased work on Lene
ran’s head and ordered him out of
the shop. Leneran called an officer
and had Wilson arrested on a
charge of malicious mischief.
The case was heard this after
noon and Wilson was discharged,
the Court holding that he was
justified in ceasing work on Lener- j
an’s head when he learned that his'
customer had no money.
Leneran was walking the streets
this evening ehibiting his half
shorn head, and declaring against
Wils-m’s cruelty.
KENTUCKY’S POET.

Kentucky’s poets, is lying critical

physiciins say is sure to end n
death in leas than 24 hours.
Quick Time.
Friday evening at 1 o’clock a
letter was posted here to Mr. F.
G. Govan in Atlanta, with a quick
delivery stamp on it. The Jettli r
was carried a mile from the office
in Atlanta, but Mr. Govan having
left, it was returned to the Rome
office at 7 o’clock Saturday morn*
ing having gone to Atlanta and re
turned ins of a day. that is busi

THE VERY BEST.
And we are To Have Some More
of it Tomorrow.
MIKADO “OUT OF SIGHT.”
One of the Best Pleased Au
diences Ever Assembled at
Nevins. They Knew a
Good Thing When
They Saw it.
As predicted by The Hufrler
of Rome, the Mikado, on Friday
night was just simply “out of
sight. ”
Mr. Erkhart, of Selma, the born
trainer, and manager of the Rome
anaetours hai riai'nlj tbo top
uotoh o f a n >teur and a'l but merg
ed tbe production of Mikado iu
Rome, into the front rank of pro
fessional opera.
Then too the stage settings were
simply perfect. The arrangements
of the Japanes parpsols, fans and
fiixings were all that the eye could
hope f< r.
Choruses and acting and posing
have often been imposed upon the
public, by profess : onal actors that
were not a shadow to the tale of
this comet. Those people who
were not tickled to death over
Ko Ko went wilde raving over the
balance of the caste
Air. Chas. Thompson, of Shorter
college, was at his happiest as mu
sical director.—Mr. Thompson is
his happiest all the time though—
he knows his business and tends to
it—that’s why he settles all notes
so quickly when they fall due—on
a piano.

is Frank, as Ko Ko, was Dar by a
large majority. A dose of him

The Opera is to be put on for
the benefit of St. Peters church and
if any change at al,l it will beeven
better than Friday night. It is

talent too, and the play is to be
a benefit for the new church build

But The Desperadoes were Hung
in a Legal Manner.
THEY LOVED BLOOD. '
One of Them Said he Liked to
see >t Gushing red From
a White Mans Throat.
Claimed They Were
Converted.
Birmingham Ala., June 7.—At
12:06 o’clock p. m. yesterday, in
tlie Jefferson county jail yard in
this city, in the presence of an im
mense crowd, Lee Harris and Abe
Mitehell paid the penalty of the
murder for which they had been
tried, convicted nnd sentenced’
They died game. Death resulted
from strangulation.
One night in the latter part of
February those two negroes hatch
ed upon a plan to lay in wait in
Capitol park, on one of the princi
pal streetsin this city, and kill the
first person that came along alone,
and rob him. No single person
showed up, and they thereupon
went into the Northen part of the
ci'y and killed in col I blood a ne •
gr > merchant named Merriwether,
and robbed his till. They were ar
rested through the persistent efforts
of Captain Don&lson, of the police
force, and confessed their crime.
They not only confessed having
kill'd Merriwether, but nearly a
score of others. > . ?
Among their crimes was the co’d
blooded assassination of a man
named Thornton, near the fair
grounds, three miles from this
city 1 , and an insult upon an old
farmer near; East Lake, six miles
from here, whom-they shot down
because he refused to give them
money and food.
Harris seems to have been the
most thoroughly depraved of the
two. Up to 10 o’clock this morn
ing he was talking of his nerve
He said to Deputy sheriff Cole yes
erday evening:
“Oh, I have nerve. lam going
to hold out to the very last and
die game. My sins have been for
given me and T am not afraid. I
am no wort. • :han lots of peopl on
the outside, anyway I always did
love the sight of blood, said Harris,
White ftian’s blood was especinll
a.pleasi g>ight to me. I alwa s
liked to see it flowing warm, right
from the throat.
“A colored man’s blond was al
so good to my eyes, hut not as
much as that of a white man.
From this species of braggado
cio the mtir’erer would dr p off
info n kind of prayer, mixing his
prayer with constant assertions of
his nerve.
Great crowds besieged the sher
iff’s office, as usual, to get passes
to see the hanging, while hundreds
of negroes gathered about the
courthouse just to be in the atmos
phere.
The gallows was moved forth"
occasion intothe west wing of the
jail yard and laced South. This
gave a good view from the court
house windows, which were crowd
