be lynched. Small groups of strangers
irom every seciionpt this and adjoining
parisnes commented to come in and
noia low conversations on the. street

one, rainy and gloomy. About 9 o'clock
there were perhaps 250 people on the

very quiet and made no hostile demon
strations other than to get the three
negroes.. After procuring their men the
lyccners nad a snort consultation and
decided to hang Gas Williams to an oak

committed. Johnson and Joiner walked
a mile or so when a wagon was procured
and they rode the best part of the way.
The distance travelled was twelve miles.

3uu in tne.- crowd during the mach,
Atcn Joiner prayed a great deal, but
John Johnson did not seem to mind bis
fate, remaining quiet'most of the way.
After a ride ol four hours the Cotton
residence was reached and all dm
mounted, and Joiner made a break for
iioerty, out was captured before be bad

sired to fight and they were permitted
to nave a set-to, alter which they were
taken inja-tbe bouse, separated, and
efforts made to get a confession from
them. Job nsonj stuck to his., former
statements that Arch Joiner was the
man who did the deed. Joiner stoutly
maintained his innocence for a while,
but finally, when brought, face to face
with John Johnson, confessed that he
killed Mrs. John Cotton, Miss Agnes
Miller and Miss Lizzie Miller. A dis
cussion arose as to the best way to. dis
pose of the two j self-confessed murder
ers. Some were in favor of burn
ing them; and fites were made for that
purpose, and some say Johnson' was ac
tually pushed in the fire and burned.
Cooler judgment prevailed, and it was
finally decided to hang them, which was
done and their bodies riddled with bul
lets. It was Arch Johnson's earnest re
quest that he be shot to death, and this
was finally determined upon as the
mode of death which was to be meted
out to Johnson, but at the last moment,
after the fire had been started, it was
urged that both be banged as Gas Will
Jams bad been, and they were only a
quarter of a mile from' the Cotton resi
dence, and executed as above stated.
They both implicated two other negroes
but said nothing about a white man.
All is quiet now.

quiet of nature, he is on the point of giv

brought 6uit was an item which appeared
in The Register in April to the effect that
Miss Lavina," then of uncertain age, was
about to institu te legal proceedings against
a gentleman of unoertain age, name un
known, for the purloining of her affeo
tions, which in the course of time had been
ruthlessly thrown aside to make way for
another set of affeotions. ; :
Miss Lavina stoutly affirmed that her

and always had been, and she estimated
the value, of a statement to the contrary at
$10,000. : . j . ; j

hardly knew whether to be pleased or dis

A month passed after the reading of the
decision, and Hibbard had .made no move
toward a settlement. I Through her lawyers
Miss -Lavina demanded an explanation.
Hibbard that evening called on Miss La

agreeable 6uit from 4 personal standpoint
"Miss Ogden," he said bluntly at the
beginning of the Interview. "I am sorrv
that anything should' have been printed in
my paper derogatory to your character.
The item which has proved to be such a
bone of contention was given to me by a
correspondent as a Ipleco of news and I
used it. I assure you that in the publica

SnrpriBlns Facts' About Cattle. "'
In the year 1710 the welsh t of fat cattle
in the London market averaged only 870
founds. This, too, at the average age of 5
years prior to which time they were not
considered as being marketable, ' In 1725
this iverage -weight has Increased to nearly
48a pounds. In 1830, 105 years later, the
averrtge weight of cattle sold on the Lon-
aon xnarKet was B5U, almost twice what.it
was In 1710, and at that time the average
age sit which such beasts were sold was
only ( 4 years, as against 5 years .at the
earlier date. i .
We have no statistics which show ezaotly
the average weight of the fat cattle of to
day, but believe that we are not far from
tho truth when we say that It Is at least
twice what it Was in 1830 and upward of
four jtimes greater than it was in )710.

Tho coroner of a rural town in Georgia
was examining witnesses in a case of sud
den death. .'; - . ;- . , .
Ud you ever hear the deceased com-.
plain of any ailment?" ho asked of one.
"The who, sub?". !
"The deceased."
The old fellow scratched his head, looked
thoughtful, then called his wife, daughter
and on-iaAaw aside and held a whispered
conversation!. Then he faced the coroner '
again.' - (. !- ,.:
"I never fcnowed no 'decease,' sub," he
said, 'ceptin yon means dem folks what
don cease tor plant cotton?"
"The 'deceased' is the man lying dead
therja, " explained the coroner.
Oh," exclaimed the witness, "ef you
means de dead marr, I'm right 'Ions wld

Is The Wayback Register. The whole plant
wouian-t ngure np to half that amount. I
have but one suggestion to make I will
give you a half interest In Tho Register.
Is that satisfactory?'
Miss Lavina took ten days to consider
the matter. Her answer made Hibbard
quail. She wanted $10,000 or its equiva
lent within another ten days. "
When hid seoond respite drew to an end,
he called on his antagonist again.
"I couldn't get the money, Miss Og
den," he said in greatcontrition. "I am
sorry for your sake and my own; more ed
tn your account than, mine. ; I have come
today to offer another compromise. I freely
give you The Waybaok Register complete.
I have but one ptherjthing to throw in to
mato np the balance.! That is myself. Do
you think, that I, individually, am worth
the 5,000 and some odd dollars? , If so, I
can cancel my Indebtedness at once."
It was a unique pronosal. and thn law nf
the eternal, fitness of .things required -that
w snouia meet with a unique reception;
"This is not sudden," she.said calmly.
"I foresaw from the! beginning that you
would do this very thing. You are now
looking at this step as a marriage of con-,
venienco, but yon will learn to like me in
time, xnere are some traits la your char
acter that I .admire and others that I
should like to deveioD. ' On
think you are worth $5,000, and I think I
will take you." j
And that was the Way Alfred Hibbard
effected a compromise. Exchange. -'

. - . ' Gaa Fron Sawdust.-...
There aresevefali large lumber mills
in Descronto, Canada, -and the town ia
partially lighted bj'gas obtained .from
sawdust from them., The sKvdust is
charged in retcrfe which are Heated by
a wood fire. .The gas from these retorts
passes into a series! of coils and thence
into the purifiers, Tyhich are similar to
those used for coal gas. Lime is used as
a purifying agent, j The plant is not a
very large -one, and it only turns out
540 , meters of gas per day, for which,
about two tons of sawdust are required.
A man and boy furnish all the .labor
needed at the worki The best quality '
of gas comes from resinous weeds. One
hundred kilogrammes of i sawdust leave
a residue of 20 kilogrammes of char
coal, and the gas in an ordinary burner
gives an illumination of 1 about ' 18 can

Ideal Cooks tho Chinese."
. r It is said by those: who bavo employed
them that the Chinese always cook by
rule, If they have any rule, to go by fol
lowing the recipe with the same scientiflo
exaotnoss with which the.druggista put up
a prescription; hence their results are
equally' satisfactory, j They are economical
cooks. They never burn or spoil anything
or spill - materials on the floor; conse
quently nothing that goes through their
hands is wasted. They cook just enough
and no more. Exchange. , - '- -'
