Since that timo Texas has had two such outrages that would maim thc Georgia lynching ap pear as mild as a corn shucking in comparison. i; ?The latest succosful offert to thwart thc buds of Justice in tho big.western state ls briefly told'itt the following uowu'story from Waco: . Waco, Texas, May lS^WUh 15. 00? pnrs?ps ns.. witness, Including women and .children; Jesse W?ah . ingtoo, negro boy, who confessed : to the.assault, and murder' of Mrs. Lucy Fryar', |eev?ji milesic south of here, list Monday, waa taken from the fifth district . court room . shpr.O.y, before.-noon and burned on the public square,; , * Tho bu ro'ng canto immediately . attov the nbgrb'a trial had ended and the jury had returned a ver dict ot guilty' giving him death penalty. Is there any record in Georgia, The Carolinas, or in fact In any stats In the un lort, of a more daring, dastard* ly outrage being perpetrated than the ono descttbed above T Yet, sn far as >e nave boen ?able' tu ascertain, cer tain of^cSe^'hs^? lo'vl'dg, South hat ing newspapers of the Nsw England SUtes iv'.'ths?'B?iddl* West, .notably Chicago In that section, who have be; rated, vilified and slandered the.orig inal eouthe*n staves.- ^ never ot tered one V?.vd 'against outrages coito* mlt,teii, bof?re and aince the Flr?nlt at? fair, ln^T?iBWinHid ^irther;'?w?etefn ctatet?. -'Not that we ^vTd^t>*id^Ts?> u>V*res^^ it, tromi bp to blame, any state'for-^?ch/a Con dition, especially wheo 3*,a^ea in nearly ?very, carper arid sic tibn of. the-Union have sulTsrea??ic.it outrages against tibWr coarta and civilisation.

Will NOT HEAR HIM r?MKNDH, TOO i Tho prolonged basing of Mr. Bran deis was supposed to he over, and the .senate was believed to he ready to accept or reject without more ado |hls nomination to the supreme court. Hut now the long injury ls being reop ened for new evidence. inasmuch as there is to he further delay, the senate commltc that is so closely scrutinizing Mr. Brandeis's fitnoss for the position might do well to seek evidence of u sort that has been Ignored thus fur. Representa tives of the professional, propertied, learned and leisurely classes have hr en hoard from. But there aro other sorts of citizens, representing a ler ger part of thc nation, who might give Interesting testimony. Why doesn't the judiciary commit tee ! minnon some of tho New York and Boston factory girls whose lot has been mnde easier through Mr. Brandeis's efforts? Why doesn't it summon some of the laboring men in various sections of the country who owe shorter hours, better working conditions und higher efficiency to Mr. Brandeis's championship? Why doesn't it summon some of the min ority stockholders in thc corporations whoso erou.ed munugement Mr. Bran deis has exposed? Why doesn't it'sum mon some of tho small business men who have been represented by Mr. Brandeis in resisting crushing mon opoly? Why doesn't it summon lead ers of reform movemento and cham pions of social justice and let them tell of tho work done by Mr. Bran deis in many good causes, without compensation and at his own ex pense? I Surely lt is only fair to admit g*ood report-ns well nu evil.when a, man's reputation is at stake. Perhaps, too, the various classes of citizens mention ed have a right to be, heard. LINE O'DOPE Weather Forecast-Fair und cooler W>nineaday; Tthtrudnv fuir. This particular scribe WUB never very fond of ghost stories; in fact, ho never care;, to listen to .them, much loss to toll them to others. How ever, one certain ghost story has bosrr'repeatedly told to him within the past few days and his curiosity hus bcon aroused to such an extent that he has decided to publish it as it bas boen related to him. Juut who or what the "ghost" or "spirit" ls, ho divs noi a tem pt to bay; neither does hu vouch for tho veracity.- or We ac curateness of what lu to bo related. As stated before he baa no special lik ing for ghost stories, much less seeing, or hearing tho ghosts themselves. The following is tho story as lt has been told to tho Line 'O. Dope man, names being omitted:. ?. Down in the lower part ot tho coun ty between Starr and Iva there lives a. well known family whose home is -now. the center of attraction for miles af iund. Sure the house IB haunt ed, for people are flocking thore^ ev ery night hy tho- score, tb hear the spirit speak and to try and solve the deep mystery.' It started Ulla woy. -, For the past lix months sounds as if soraeon? knacking on the'wall have been heard. Fer a Unie lt was'thought these sounds wc re 'caused by flying squirrels who had made their dene in the walla. However^ tearing the coiling from the wails did not. solve the mystery. One .Irjtoa^afio loot night, there caine from tho direction of tho door, a sound of Vriocklng,and a Uti o girl 14 years of age. hearing the,noise, end thinking lt. was soma of tho neigh bora who had come'over for n friendly chat?' fife* vited the supposed porson io. ''' The knocking continued, but no one cam? lp. Finally the Rtle girl opefaed tho door, .hut not a soul could bo seen or heard. Sh o asked who {t was do log, the -knocking and ? Vole? re-? pited: i"; "I am from Georgia." . Investigations did : not lead to tho location;>Of.<:'?tiy^e.^The little girl asked the seeming spirit'what it want ed, and thus a conversation started. \ThS title girl asked numerous qn?s tiona, and each time received un In telligent reply from the spirit. There were questions dealing with affairs of the fumily, those dealing with cer tain members of the family, etc. The spirit replied to ull of thetiv iu au intellgent manner. Thc spirit stated that one member or the family who was vi- Irini;.there from another state, hud not better go home, for if he did. he would bc hilled. Of course all of tho family became terribly frightened, and could not account for the voice? from the empty space. Other members or the family tried to converse with lt, but tho spirit would not pay any attention lo them. The story of thc occurrence became circulated around the neighborhood uud the next night there were several of the neighbors present. The spir it was in one of the rooms on thc next night and contained, to talk, to the little girl. It laffin first attracted her attention by knocking on tba wall. ' The next/night ; lhere was-** a/ill larger crowd present, and lt hus '-on linucd this way until now it ls said several score of people flock to the house every night. The house has been thoroughly searched and the ceiling hus been 'removed, but'nothing unusual has been found. Tho fum ily is worried almost to death and stute that they ''will leave the; house. The a?>? rit hau ??ld that if they'do, it will not make any dUTer/mce fpr bc will go with them. The above Is the story us it ha's been told. Various visitors to the city from Iva and ' iStarr have related it and suy that hundreds of people go to the haunted house every night. They claim that others besides the lit tle girl can hear the voice, but can not understand all timi is said. Thor, are vory much concerned as to what the .'volc?" la und many ot them ap pear both worried und extremnly amused. There was much hilarity, in Ander son yesterday, aff^/uoon lifter the results of tho .election became known. Many of those , who had supported Mayor Godfrey got in automobiles, rode around town, yelled, sang and celebrated in general. The fire bell waa rung several -times and the peo ple of the city made sure that there was a fire somewhere. Last night Mayor Godfrey'^wsa^ serenaded,, bress bands, bells, tin ,'r?na, automobile horns etc., being used with great ef fect. It seems that oorno of the people really "celebrated" and kept it up until a late hour last night. Police headquarter* reported last night at ll o'clock that there had not been a singlo arrest made, during the day. Judging from indications laBt night, tho rain has passed for tho present. Thero was n stiff cool breeze-'.blow ing and the sky was clear, not a cloud being seen. .'Early yesterday afternoon some sections of tho coun ty wore viBlt9d by refreshing show ers, none ot them very heavy. It rained rather heavy at the Gluck mill and on up as far as the Orr milt, but only sprinkled in Anderson.
