I Woman Done to Death by
Fanatical Religious Sect,
IGNORANCE EXEMPLIFIED
Crazy n ~ ;g Claimed That Victim V/as
% ’ ' Ted of the Devil Their
Treatment Unexpect-
H i fly Proved Fatal.
Miss lit*"so special says: Flvo pso
x^jtOvf*le» members 0 £ the sect of pavi jc "“
v ltes, are under „„,. 08t u, Zion City,
accused of torturing to u-nth Mrs. I.e
. titla Greenhaulgh, years old, a
i* . cripple for twenty yekxp, to show their I
I f ' hollef In the religion »iey. profess.
I f The people under arri-t are Walter
SI and Jennie Greenhaulgh, he son and
* - hughter of the woman; Harold Mltch
! f eii, Mrs. Harold Mitchell aid a Mrs.
I Smith. All of them are accrued of
I 3 manslaughter.
Mrs. Greenhaulgh had been for
twenty years an invalid, suffering from
paralysis and rheumatism.
' .. The sect of Farhamites was found-
I\j k cd about a year ago by Charles Par
ham and numbers about 200 persons.
I f jjf The members of the sect originally
|- belonged to Louie's church B " d I)e '
lieves in the gift of tongues, and es
pecially in diabolical possession. It
is their theory that sickness is an evt-
Jdenoe of the possession of the body
by evil spirits.
The condition of Mrs. Greenhaulgh
\ convinced her son and daughter and
the three persons arrested with them
that she must be possessed of the devil
\ , and they determined to exorcise the
' <VII Spirit. The five knelt by the bed
tide and, after praying, commenced
, their work. The arms of Mrs. Greon
liaulgh, stiffened by rheumatism, were
twisted about in order that the devil
might be driven cut. The cries of
the aged woman were considered to
be those of an evil spirit and were
greeted \vilh~iriumpliant shouts. After
a course of this violent treatment
Mrs. Greenhaulgh not only became
A ’HAS*!' . not. US* her
f .-..-leg any motions. Then her neck was
twi3ted and for some time this treat
ment was kept up.
Walter Greenhaulgh testified at the
coroner’s inquest that Mitchell and
his wife lmd beheld a vision in which
Mitchcl was ordered to quit work and
devote his time in fasting out the
devil from the sick Young Ureen
haulgh declared that his mother’s con
sent was obtained before the treat
ment was commenced.
I Mrs. Smith’s part in the treatment,
1| according to o*o testimony before the
coroner's jury, consisted in raising
Mrs. s jidcl holdi^s
her while Mitchell and l.u-wife at
| tempted to straighten the woman s
limbs, which had been twisted by
years of rheumatism.
Graenhaulgh br#ke down and cried
l . as he told his Mory. He d. Glared that
for Sometlnn his mother Imre he
treatment jhravely, but at last the
f M 1 agony grew so great that she could
not retrain herself and she cried,
••Oh, Lord, help me!” a number bl
- times.'
Th , case will be further investi
by the authoritels of I.ake

KANSAS RAILROADS BALK..
Decide to Ignore Order of Commission

At a conference held In Chicago

The roads were represented by their

OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATIC.
People Likewise Vote for State-Wide
Prohibition, Which Is a Provision
of the New Constitution.
The territories of Oklahoma and
ledian Territory, to whom congress
gave joint statehood during its last
session, voted together for the first
time Tuesday on the proposed state
constitution, state-wide prohibition
and the election of a full state ticket,
ftye members of the state supreme
court, all district judges, five members
of congress, a state legislature, which
wilt elect two United States sena
tors and all county and township of
ficers.
As regards the constitution Itself,
the voters had two eminent, although
dissenting opinions, to guide them.
Mr. Bryan of Nebraska says “it is
the best constitution ever written.’’ Mr.
Taft of Ohio says “if I were a resi
deit of the new state I would vote
against it”
Unofficial reports from the election
indicate that prohibition has carried
the constitution accepted and Haskell,
democrat, has been elected governor.
It is not love for tii constitution
that brought about if- ratit.-ation,
but the desire for statehood, espec
ially among the peopl" of Indian Ter
ritory, who thus far have enjoyed no
kind of government whatever. Many
republicans, who share Mr. Taft’s
views, voted to the contrary in order
to get statehood, while there is an
army of republicans who “hit it wit
all their might,” believing they would
give Mr. Roosevelt all the moral and
substantial support possible in ease
he should decide to withhold ids ap
proval. With these republicans, too,
was a strong body of democrats, liv
ing mostly in Oklahoma Territory,who
voted against the constitution some
becauso of fear of high taxation and
still others for political reasons, fear
ing the Indian Territory wing of th.
democracy will dominate in state at
fairs.
Every prohibitionist voted for the
constitution. C. N. Haskell of Musko
gee, the democratic nominee for gov
ernor, stated often in his speeches
men up loi- vote for prohibition. This
era, almost to n. tomniranc' w A "I
ministry. Governor Frantz, the repub
lican nominee, stated publicly that 1
prohibition carried ho would see to
it, if elected, that the lav was en
forced.
Although there were three state tick
ets nominated— republican, democratic
and socialist— yet practically every
body on the ticket was lost sight of
in the main fight between Haskell and
Frantz. It has been a bitter campaign.
Frantz, the present territorial govern
or of Oklahoma, was a Rough Rider
with Roosevelt in Cuba and represents
the Roosevelt policies in his race for
the state governorship.
It has been a campaign of charges
and counter-charges, and to substanti
ate these men of national reputation
have come from other states to partic
ipate in the campaign. Judge Sheets,
former attorney geueral of Ohio, spent
a week in the state making speeches
against Haskell, and, tho democrats
induced Judge Monnett, who was
Sheets’ predecessor in office, to answer
Sheets and support Haskell. Mr. Bry
an of Nebraska indorsed Haskell, as
did also Champ Clark of Missouri, Jeff
Davi3 of Arkansas and Congressman
Hamilton of lowa.

COLQUITT. GA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER A 1907.
BEARS IN DANGER
President to Go After Bruin
With I rusty Winchester.
WILL HUNT IN LOUISIANA
Plans Recreative Pastime, on the Side,
During His Trip Down the Mis
sissippi to the Waterways
Convention.
A special from Oyster Bay, N. Y.,
says: Far from the scene of official
routine, and free from the details at
tendant upon the responsibilities as
sociated with ihe office of chief exec
utive, President Roosevelt will enjoy
seventeen days in camp. This is to
be tho nearest approach to a genuine
vacation that the i-roaldcnt h- 13 “ ,lu ' n '-
ed himself. Though nominally on his
vacation at Oyster Bay this summer,
there have been but few hours in
which official business of some sort
has not intruded. A physical and
mental recreation as complete as his
cares will permit is now arranged.
President Roosevelt will pitch his
camp In the northeastern corner of
Louisiana, on or about October 5. The
exact spot is yet to be determined.
The plans provide for a “camping
trip,” but everybody knows that the
canebrakes shelter game worthy of a
huntsman worthy of presidential cab
iber. Those who will have the good
fortune to make pleasant the presi
dent’s camp, expect that the monofony
of camplife will be occasionally bro
ken by a hunt.
While the details of the trip have
not been thoroughly worked out, the
main features were announced Thurs
day by Secretary Loeb. The president
will leave Oyster Bay for Washington
J next Wednesday, and on the following
| Sunday will start «n his western and
: southern speech-making tour.
At Memphis, Team, on October 4,
the speechmaking program will be In
tel vupted and the president will start
for the camping grounds. He? will
break camp on October 21, going di*
.rectly to Vicksburg, Miss., t» make
his promised speech there.
hi eajnp of Civil SelVtce t om- ‘
missioner John A. McTlhenny of Ibe
ria, La., and of John M. Parker of
New Orleans.
Following the speech at Vicksburg,
October 21, the president has con
sented to make an address at Hermit
age, Tenn., on the following day.
The return to Washington will im
mediately after be begun, and the
white house will be reached on. the
afternoon of October 23.
According to a New Orleans dis
patch. the region where the president
will probably hunt is the Bayou Ma
con and Tensas swamps, semi-tropical
jungles in Madison parish, near the
Mississippi river in northeast Louis
iana. In these swamps bear are nu
merous, deer abundant and smaller
game from wildcats down to squirrels
innumerable. A year ago a bunting
party, head.fi by Governor Plan.hard
of Louisiana, killed forty deer in this
si clion.
The Tensas and Macon arc
the center of a hunting ground about
75 miles long and 10 to 30 miles
wide. During most of the year it is
necessary for hunters in these swamps
to wear nets suspended from their
hats in order to protect their faces
from mosqquito bites. Hunters must
raise these nets from their faces be
fore firing. The mosquito nuisance be
gins to abate in October.

The Company Comptroller is Forced
to Let Cat Out of the Bag at Gruel

New York.
A New York special says: Delving
into the financial workings
■ Standmd' Uil company or New Jer
sey, the holding company of ail the
subsidiary organizations of the so
called oil trust, Frank B. Kellogg, con
ducting the federal suit for the dis
solution of the company, brought forth
Tuesday to pubiie view for the first ■
time the enormous profits made by
the Standard Oil company. In a period
of eight years, from 1899 to 1906, ip ,

a state’ll- - t spread upon tin record
of Tuesday’s hearings, was shown to
have earned the total profits of $490,-
315,934, or at the rate of more than
$01,000,000 a year, and distributed to
its shareholders in the same period
$308,359,403.
While the company was earning
these vast sums in the refining of oil
the statements adduced at tho hearing
show that between 1899 and 1906 the
assets of the company grew by leaps
and bounds from $200,791,523 to $371,-
064.531. The capital stock is $95,338,-

Standard Oil company have striven
vainly to obtain the figures Mr. Kel
logg succeeded in placing upon the
records of the court. The Standard
Oil company makes no statement of
its business, and other than tho dec
laration of a dividend it makes no
public announcement by which It*
business may be gauged.
