pim OF if IN GEORGTA.1 ATTEMPTLO OUTRAGE CAUSES KILLING OF FIVE PERSONS. ClaxtOD, Ga., May 23.-Two ne groes lynched, one white man and two negroes dead, and aoven other ,*persons injured is the result of au attempt to capture a negro, who Monday night attempted a oriminal assault upon Mrs. Laura Moore, a widow living near Manassas, Tatt nail oounty. The dead are : John Hare, white farmer; Sim Padgett, negro, and daughter, aged ten year-. The lynched aro : Padgett's wife and son. The injured are: W. B. Pearson, shot in stomach and arm, probably fatally ; James U. Daniel, Bhot in eye and may die ; Dr. J. L. Ken nedy, seriously; son of Padgett, seriously ; Flem Padgett, slightly two daughters of Padgett. Fifteen persons early Tuesday surrounded the house of Sim Pad gett, a negro whom they suspected of harboring another negro who had criminally assaulted Mrs. Moore, and demanded to be allowed to searcl the housn. Permission was given but when within thirty feet of th? house those inside the building opened Uro on the posse, instantly kiling John Haro and seriously wounding Bartow Pearson, Jamei Daniel and Dr. J. L. Kennedy. Th< posse then returned the fire, killing Padgott and one of his daughters aged ten, and wounding two otho girls, aged six and thirteen raspeo tively, and two of Padgett's som aged twenty and twenty-two. The posse then retired for rein forcements. The news spread rap idly and by 10 o'clock five hundre armed men were on the scene an started in pursuit of tho negroei who had escaped. One of them ws captured and taken bofcro Mr Moore, but she failed to idontif him. The negro, however, wt identified as the man who shot Har and he was started for Keidsvil! jail, .together with Padgett's wi! and son. On the way the officers w.re ove taken by about sovonty-five, wt took tho prisoners from them. Tl woman was told to run, and as si did so was riddled with bullets, h son being shot to pieces where I stood. The nogro who assaulted Mi Moore has not been captured, but is reported that he is surrounded a negro house, and that in all prob bility he has been killed. Sheriff Edwards, with deputic took all tho prisoners from the ji at Koidsville and left with them elude tho mob, who, it was reporte would attack the jail that night. Great excitement prevails and it feared that other trouble will occi Hare was a native of Monr< N. C., and leaves a widow and sc\ ral small children. A Good Bill if Amonded. There is now pending before t General Assembly of the State South Carolina a bill introduced Mr. Vernor, of Oconee, and broue over from tho last session, and v be disposed of at thc next session that body, relativo to tho listing jurors. As the law now exists this State, tho jury commission^ aro required to put in tho jury h at least one-third of the qualifJ electors of the county. They ni put them all in if they so choose, 1 cannot put less than one-third. 1 present system does not seem to satisfactory, as tho bill above refer? to has been introduced to amend 1 present law, and to require tho ji commissioners to put in the box of the qualified electors of the couti Tho purpose ol' the bill is good, t if enacted into a law would certaii distributo tho jurors more cvei over thc county, and w,ould certai correct one of tho evils which it alleged it is aimed at, that is, to j * vent the selection of the same j ur from year to year. It frequer occurs that a mau living in a rem section of a county, with very li education, makes a better juror tl one who is well educated, for reason that bo is more likely to the case on the law and facts tl the man who has heard it discus and read about it, and unconsciot formed an opinion. The .nost lear judges have frequently announ the theory that twelve jurors, selec from tho people at large, could I the i act H in a ease more accurately and correctly than twelve learned judges could do. The best juror isl not always the best eduoated man, I but the man with the least bias and least prejudioe, and is honest and seeks only the truth in any case. We think, however, that it would be better to amend the bill aforesaid, to requiro ninety per cent of the qualified eleotors to be put in the jury box-ten per cent left out wouhi certainly include all of the qualified electors to whom there is any real and valid objection. - Edgofield Nows, May 22.

Judge Gage Talks of Crime. Anderson, May 23.-The uummer torm of the Court of General Ses sions convened here Monday morn ing. Judge Gage is presiding. In his charge to the grand jury Judge Gago said that the State of South Carolina is yet uncivilized as far the taking of human life is concerned. Ho has not been here for three years and since bis last trip Anderson county has had fifty-seven indict ments of homicide. Greenville has had sixty indictments in the same longth of time. Judge Gage says he visited a county in Scotland last summer which had the same popula* tion as Anderson, and an officer there told bim that they had not had a homicide indictment in thirty years. Judgo Gage made a strong charge, and his words are bound to have groat effect here. Thero aro many kidney remedies, but few that accomplish the result.

SCHOOL DRYS Of THEIONC AGO. ______ THE HOLLY SPRINGS BOYS USED TO DUCK THE TEACHER lr HE DIDN'T "TREAT." J lolly Springs. May 21.-Editors Cou rier: There is quite a differonoe lu, this community now and thirty or forty years HKO. Well oan 1 remember when this whole settlement consisted of four per* manent settlers-C., 8., L. and C. Ai* of these gentlemen were heads of large familios-MOSTLY boys and girls. Our school houso then was different from the one we have now. It was built of logs and not very high, and looked more like a pile of timbers than a bouse. I have seen this building chock full of young ladies and men, especially on rainy days, a< all could go when it rained or snowed. The houso had oue door in oue end and an open fireplace iu the other. The windows woro long notches, two on either sido. So you seo we didn't have any too muoh light. The seats were mi. le out o? logs, split in the middle, and tho spilt side turned up. The logs were all tho same length-that is, the beuch legs wore, but all this did not hinder UB from having a good time. Our teachers wero good men and dis charged their duties. Dut it was so dif ferent from tho present. Why, Messrs. Editors, I have seon some of tho bigest cases tried in this lu usc you have ever beard of, and that wasn't tho worst of it. If your sentence was bard you had no obauco to appeal. You walked out, and tho teacher did tho rost! Wo bad only one protector, and that was the top of the house. The roof was so low that it stopped tho upward swing of the withe. Ten was tho uumbor of stripes in most cases, but tho low roof would sometimes bother the "court" and you would got off with less, especially if the teacher was a tall man and his fist bit tho boards. Hut. this didn't go on all the timo. Sometimes tho school would run a whole week without a jar, and we would bavo what wo called "match spelling." In tbose days wo usod tho old blue ba sk speller. Two of tho best scholars would choose sidos from all the pupils, and then line up in two rows, facing each other. The teacher would "give out," and if ono misjed a word he took his seat, and BO on until all were down but one, and ho got the apple. Wo did the best w> could to make it a place of learning. Wo would marob, play cat and town ball, roley bolo, etc. Wo bad no bell to call us in, but tho teacher would hollor "Books" so loud you could hear him a mile. Thou wo had what we called "tho last day of school." This waa the day most talked of by tho boys. Wo bad a rule that evory teacher must "treat" on that day. If he refused tho boys would tako him to the creek and "duck" him. This we never had to do, as most of them would treat after riding them on a rail for a while. What would tho boys of to-day think if they were to seo a teacher, tied hand and foot, swinging on a polo and riding around over the play ground, enjoying himself on the last day of his school'.1 This would bo an odd feature of the present ago. It is to bo remembered that the chil dren of those days did not have books and papers like tho ohildron of to-day. We bad no pretty picture cards for book marks. A common playing card sold readily for one dozon of apples. The picturo on the heading of Tho Keoweo Courier was worth ono quart of chest nuts, or one-half of it would buy a nico clay pipo, and if the picture of tho wo man was on tho half you were trading you could got a stem "to boot." If this misses tho waste basket I will givo a sketch of boyhood lifo in thc Molly Springo settlement forty years ago. c. C'ASTOXIIA. Bean tho J* Tho Kind You Haye Always BougM Died to Stay Dead.
