LIN' OLNTON, (>a — Near the hour of midnight Sunday nigld, seventy-live or one hundred nr marl men broke into the county Jfd I hero mid lookout n negro prisoner named Albert Aiken, v. lio one day last week fatally cut Mr. .1. li. Spiros, awhile citizen of tins county, and carried him about three j mile; from town, where they swung I trim up to a tree and riddled his body I with bullets. Xii-xim/fi Citi.Mi: | Tile crime of which Ihe negro was ! guilty occurred, it seems, in this way : lie was riding a mule on the way to the held of li is employer, a. li. Spiros, ; when he was met by Mr. .). 11. Spires, a brother of his employer, who asKcd him for n small sum of money. At this the negro became enraged, got down from lii.s mule, drew his knife, ahd plunged the blade up to the hill which was almost as sharp as a razor, I in Mr. Spires’ icf side, then drew it | forward w ith such force that it severed two rlli-.-, penetrating the lung, about two inches and made an incision about two inches long. It seems tint Mr. Spires gave the negro no provocation whatever fc r the brutal act. Mr. Spires walked about seventy-five yards and fed from loss of blood, where he was found by a friend shortly after wards and was taken to a neighbor's house, ids condition growing more serious. Monday evening his attend ing physician lost all hopes of Iris recovery. Nkciuo Was Aiuik.sti-:i>. Immediately after the cutting a neighbor phones Sheiitl' Wright, who came at once and caught the negro Ijjfore he could make his escape and lodged him in the county jail. It, is stutid that after the negro was placed in jail lie was usked by a citizen why he cut Mr. Spires, and he replied that Mr. Spiresjtried to whip him and that he was not going to let any damn ed w lute man whip him.

Alcohol and Tuberculosis. There is n.i mure fatal error in which the tutu reidnr patient may fall than that, alcohol retards the waste of the disease; and yet it is a very common error. How often wo. have heard it said of some man, “Well he bail to drink whiskey because he was con sumptive and the doctors told him he could not live without it.’’ It is even belli by some to he a preventive mens-’ lire—if there is consumption in any! branch of the family a week person is i told to lake toddies and milk pimehez j “to keep it oil'.’’ Instead of keeping it. oil', if is imich more Pkel.. to bring \ it on, I'm alcohol wreck; toe nerves | and paralyzes the defensive function of I lie white blood cell-' and lung tissue. ' llis upon this quality in the blood, that we must depend for resistance to I all soils of contagious or infectious; diseases, and from that reason habitual drinkers arc more liable to them titan! others. The fact is that alcohol will neither prevent liihereulosis, jior retard its progress, nor cure itr Indeed, by ini- j pairing and weakening (lie digestive' functions of the body it tears down the last, defense and robs the patient of his] chance of recovery. Wc give below some authorities for this statement. Alcohol liquors are of damage to con sumptives 1/ cans'.' they lend to impair mitiition, disturb the action of the stomach, and give a false strength to the invalid on which lie is sure to presume.—I'M ward M. Trudeau, M. I)., Adirondacks Haiiitaiium for Consump tives, Sarance Lake, X. V. fn my judgment whiskey should not lie used by people who have cansump- tion, and in my practice I prohibit its use absolutely. At the White Haven Sanitarium and the Henry I’hipps in stitution we do noL use alcohol In any form in the treatment of our patients— Lawrence K. Flick, M. 1)., Philadel phia. l'a., vice ([resident of the Ameri can Association for the Prevention of '1’uburculosis. I do not feel that I can emphasize strongly enough the harm tlia*. can he done by Hie use of alcohol in tuberculo sis'. I find it not only mmesessary in treatment, but believe it to he con traindicated.—F. M. Pottenger, M, J)., Supt. The Pattenger Sanitarium for Diseases of the 1.lings and Throat, .Monrovia, Calif. Mcohol gives a temporary sensation of “-ell-being, while it really hastens •ise, and paralyzes i the defensive function of the white blood cells and lung tissue;—Professor Frank H. Woodbury, M. D. Philadel phia, Pa. The lynching was not unexpected hut it is thought, was delated till it ; ^| 1( , process of disci was known thiA Mr. Spire’s condition | the ( | ef( , nsivL . fuiie was hopeless The manner in which the crowd acted showed that it was not the work ol an infuriated mob, hut of men carrying out a deliberately planned purpose to meet out justice to a i.rutal and red- handed criminal. Except for the heavy blows; necessary to break the tail doors, it is hardly probable that the citizens of the town would have know n the crowd was present. There was no |oud talking, no profane swear ing, all was carrier! out in a quiet and systematic way. After thecrov d took tile prisoner, they left town with him in the sauio orderly quiet way and no more was heard tiil they reached the place of lynching, then the simulta neously craex of pistol, rifle and shot gun gave notice that the work was over. Others Waiixeu. This morning the passersby could look upon the ghastly and mutilated body of the negro and see on a sheet of paper pinned to his clothing this warn ing, in substance ; The same will he done to all negroes under like c'rcum- sLauces. Signed, “ftegulatrrs. ” (t was formally thought that alco hol was iu some way antagonistic to tuberculous disease, but tlie observa tions of late years indicate dearly Hint the reverse is the case, and that chronic drinkers are much more liuhle to botli acute and pulmonary tuberculosis.— Dr. Osier, formerly Professor of Medi cine, Johns Hopkins University’, Haiti- more, >1(1. In these days when tuberculosis is no longer regarded as a hopeless dis ease, and the whole world almost is combining in the eflVirt even to stamp it out entirely, what a great stimulus it is to throw off the incubus of that deadening, soul-dc.stro.ving idea that a consumptive must he given up by com mon consent, as it were, to whiskey Irinkiug, te know that life, health, Hannah.
