UTTERE DFORMRSNOBLES •ini Hot Ramarks From a Twiggy County Man. Macon, Ga., Dec. 13.—“1f Mrs. Nobles doesn’t hang, it will take a regiment us soldiers to hung. Hus Fumbles the negro who was her accomplice in the crime” said a prominent citizen of Twiggs county lhis aftnrnoon. Ido not say this rashly. 1 measure my words when 1 say it, and 1 am speaking the sentiment of the beet white citizens of Twiggs county They believe Gus Famb.es ought to hang, but (hwy believe first of all Mrs. No bles ought to hang. If Mrs. Nobles is spared capital punish ment on the ground of fanatical sentimentality, the state had as well make ready to bring soldiers to Twiggs county by companies prepaied for shooting if an at tempt is made to hung «us Fum bles has been saved irom the gal lows, and these soldiers had best bring more than one round of am munation when they come. There has been too much delay in this mut'er already. There has been one lynching here since the quibering over the Nobles case has been in progress and it was due solely to this delay of the law. I was one of the men who stood before the howling mob rhe night old man Nobles body was found and begged them to disperse and let the law take its course prom ising them the law would mete out speedy pun.shment for the obj cts of their wrath. If the whole th'i g had to be gone over again I would not say a word but 'et the lynchers get in their work on the guilty parties for I have seen what it meins to trust to courts lor its justice. When 1 sa- this I atn not re- Ib-ctiog fn the people of Twiggs chunty «s a lawless people. On the contrary I am speaking of them as people who are det°rmin etl to uphold the law, pledging themselves for the protection of thir homes, their lives and prop erty, against the quibbles of lawye.s for the purpose of de lay “The fact that Mrs. Nobles is a woman does not entitle her to conederation, since she is a crim inal of the most pronounced type: Shu is a confessed murderer an arch-conspirator who induced a weak minded negro hireling by bibery and duress to commit the crime of assisting her in the mur der of her husband.' Fociety wom en of the cities who seek to inter fere with the enforcement cf the criminal litigation of I wigs coun ty, throng a game of silly sentiment, will breed trouble for tin stuteif they don’t mied. The crime of Mrs. Noble has b«en hor ror of the neighborhood ever since it was committed. Ihe peopl cannoN rest easy until it has been aveged. A shudder |comes with the thought of it and the frightful dangerous question— What are our laws worth. The man who said these thing is one of the most prominent citizens of Twiggs county and one of the most couserva ive citiz ens as well. The remittur. from the United States supreme court in i he Nobles case is expected eager ly in Jeffersonville every day., The minute it comes, Judge Smith will be notified that the resentenc ing of Mrs. Nobles is ia order. He will probably resentence her to be hanged within twenty days which ia the minimum limit of time allowed for a hanging in Georgia after the sentence. If the governor is going to act in the case he will have to come to his discision right speed.ly. Ki pa uh Tabtiles cure liver iraublea. ROME GEORGIA, JDAY 3NING. Xtra Good SUNDAY MURDER A STRANGER ASSASSINATED last Night, hotels bright light Enabled The Am-assin* To Ta ks Deadly Aim. Amite City. La. , Lee. 13. Almost before the sod had closed over the grave of J.,e Reid, anoth er assan-ination ia placed to the record lor langiphoa parish. at To’clock ir. the full view by the hotel light, S. B. Mullen, a stranger here, was shot to death. He was stand ing cn the hotel ga'lery and the assassin shot him from behind There were two shots fired, but only one took effect. This penetrated the center of the bipT of the head and made its exit just underlie righteye. Death was alm :st instantaneous He fell to tr«e steaps and rolled to the ground, a distance of four feet. Immediately a large crowd congregatated and the great est excitement prevailed. Sheriff M. F. Edwards and Dep n'.y Sheriff W. J. Mullens were at once notified and soon organ'zed a email posse and they took up the trail whith tho blood hounds and followed the guilty parties. Why Mullen was killed is as yet a mystery. He is an entire s’/an ger here and could haidly have had any connections with any of Hie murders hereabouts. Mullen registered at the City hotel at 8 o’clock last night as coming from Harrisville. Simpson county, Mississippi. II? is n man of small stature, about forty years of age and rather poorly dressed. Hs claimed to have been a corres pond' d for The Louisville Home and Farm and was here for the puipose writting up the agricul tural possibilities cf this county. He had just finished supper, inquired about church, walked to and looked over the register a sec ond. pulled out his tobacco, open ed the giass door that lead to the gallery, took a step on th o gal lery and two shots rang out ami the man fell dead. The man or men who did the shooting must have been on the gallery also, for the ball came out on a level with the place where it entered. Some people are under the im pression that the man had ene mies at his home and they follow ed him here and murdered him. Others are of the opinion that the was a detective had come here for that purpose of working up some case. Still many assert that be was killed by mis'ake; but the latter the ry can scarcely be correct, as the men was stand ing in full light when he received the fatal shot, HAYIIAN MINISTRY' RESIGNS President Sam Rides Around Port Au Prince On Horseback.

IB—Mrs Nancy Allison McKinley, the nge< norherof tl e president died short ly after 2 o’clock ytsterdaj morn ing. Almost two weeks had elapsed since the stroke of paralvsis,which was at once pronounced fa al, and the wonderful vitality which had <ept death at bay so long hud de uded the friends and relatives in to the belief that 'he aged woman might perhaps recover despite the verdict of her physician. But unmistakable signs of ap proaching dissolution were seen early Saturday morning and a' nightfall it was evident that death must come before morning. The demise of Mrs. McKinley was painless. All night long the members of the family were watch ing and waiting for the time of dissolution. From 11 o'clock until the time of death the McKinley house was quiet and shrouded in a stillness that was suggestive of the mournful sct j n p s within the walls. No response could be ob tained by messengers or reporters who sought >o vain for news. Shor.ly before midnight the at- Umdents dis overed wha'r wejre thought to be*certuin signs of die- i solution.
