A special from Adrian, Ga., to the Atlanta Journal of the 21st, says: This community is thoroughly roused over the weird rumor of a divine visitation which comes from Troop's Ferry, just beyond the Oco iee river and about twenty-five miles from here. The story, while it surpasses belief, is repeated in very quarter and the people of the surrounding country are wrought up to the highest pitch of religious excitement over it. The strange story follows: One night last week eeyeral ne gro turpentine workers were play ing cards near the ferry. One negro .&ad seven dollars at the beginning vof the game, but lost steadily until 5&t last he had left only one dollar. Holding this high above his head, heewore that if he lost it, he would ourse God. : In the next deal he lost it. and in consequence he exe cuted his oath. No'sooner had he done so than he was heard to scream, and his com panions on looking at him, saw that sulphurous flames pouredfrom his .mouth, ears, eyes and nose. -Terribly frightened, they at first "aran away, but soon returned and endeavored to relieve his sufferings. Water poured upon him was with out avail. A blanket was brought "forward and they attempted to wrap ;him with it, in order to extinguish the flames, but the would-be rescu ers were kept away by some myefs iqus power. About four feet was m near as an approach could be made to the unfortunate victim. Then, thinking that the log on 'which he sat was in some way re sponsible for his predicament they "began to saw it off near the point on " which he sat. The first incision of 44he saw caused blood to drip from it, and to fall with the sawdust, to the ground. An axe was next sent rfor, but its use revealed the fact that in every part the log was iilled with veins of blood. T?hen they threw a noose of a rope overthe negro's body and tried to 2?all him away from his position. According to reports they might as well have attempted to draw a star from the sky. The rope in consequence of its contact with the - body of the victim, - rendered as naught the great strength of those vwho would save him. -There he sits, rumor says, con turning, yet with no probability of 8ver being utterly consumed dying .always, yet not deadliving in and breathing the! fires of , hell, crying tfor water, which, poured upon him cauBea him to scream' as mortal was never heard to shriek before. jit is said that peopb flock to see him, but, appalled by the eight, turn and flee, some with terror that is piteous to witness. , : jThe children of Adrian are ter rorized by the rumor and speak of it in whispers of horror. Night is no more welcomed, and sleep with them has only the meaning of a Plutonian dream. ((Signed,) T. M. Chetham. Outrages X Knklni. jWalnut Ridge, Ark., July 21 There ifij great excitement m Law rence and Randolph counties over the continued outrages of a band of min known as the kluklox. The band first made its appearance in Randolph county about a month ago, and its operations were confined to ja few townships, but it is spread ing until now the two counties are aroused over their actions. Hardly a week paesea but some tew outrage is committed. A number of men and even women haye . been dragged from their homes at night, and whipped in a moat cruel manner by the kukluz, and one woman has died from the effects of a flogging administered on her bare back. Tfce persons flogged have in every case been citizens with whom thekuklux found some fault. In one case an old! man and his wife were dragged from their bed, tied to a tree and whipped until their backs were raw because they did not send their daughter to school. Near Richwood, in Lawrence county, a few nights agej the band raided the home of Newton Gray, a respectable farmer, and Gray has not been seen nor heard of since. It is believed he is dead. A number of outrages have been committed in the vicinity of Richwood in the past week, and the excitement in that neighborhood is intense. Thirteen well known resi dents of the neighborhood were ar rested, charged with being members of the oiganization, but at the ex amining trial ten of them were dis missed, three .farmers, named Bish- op Fletcher and Gates, being bound ove r to the circuit court. lalmae I-oses His Pastorate. ! A telegram from Washington to the 'Durham San says: ''Owing to dissensions among the members of the aristocratic First Presbyterian church, Rav. Dr. De Witt Talmage will not' return to Washington to take charge of his flock. "The majority of the members claim that Dr. Talmage has far from realized their expectations. In fact, the church has less members and is worse off financially than ever be fore. He took the associate p?stor ate under a contract, which has not netted him a penny this year." : :fmf est sgjlGut g Sj ; S 1 m m m m m m m mJu , , J J Beisln Wifliton. . .

The effort is voluntary on their part and they depend upon hat collection lor a support. Of the method it can be truthfully said that it reaches a great many who attend church and a great many who do not, Winston Republican. PLIZABETII COLLEGE. L v FOR WOMEN, , CHARLOTTE, N. C.
