Marietta, Ga., Feb. 18.-Willard Webb, the negro who was convicted at tho March term of the Cobb Super ior Court for criminal assault, was hanged In tho Cobb county jail to day at 11.24 o'clock. Sheriff McKln. ney pulled the trigger. Webb was composed up to the last and walked to the gallows the cool oat man that witnessed the oxccution. He was convicted on the statement of the assaulted party. Two other white womer swore to an alibi. Public opinion was divided as to his guilt. He was Charged with assaulting a white woman near Vlnings. The prompt action of Sheriff McKinney saved possiblo violence at that time. He was taken to tho Atlanta jail, but hud been In the Marietta jail for tho past two mont lis. He made tho following statement on tile gall 'ws: "1 am glad, cheerfully glad, beforo Cod and before the people, and I would be glad If more people than ls here now could hear me. This ls my last request upon earth beforo mun and before God, and this ls my last talk with anybody, and 1 am dying In the truth, and I am dying for some thing I don't know anything moro about than a dead man. "I am thankful that I am not dy ing for crime. I um dying to give satisfaction to thc people. I am just as clear of ever committing a crime as any oilier man in the world. There ls not a man In the world more In nocent than I am. "I have not got any prejudice against you people. I am dying just Uko tho apostles of the Lord did. They died when they were perfectly Innocent, and I am dying the same. 1 thunk you for all your kindness."

"Sonny" Smith, an Indian half breed, sat in the sheriff's office at Tulsa, Oklahoma, charged with mur der, according io the story. His two sons were fugitives from justice on the same charge. "Let me go." pleaded Hie half breed Crook indian, to Ibo sheriff of tho county, the story KOCS, "and 1 will go and bring in the two boys you aro looking for. If you do not let me go you will never caleb those boys." Sheriff Ne wh rook smiled grimly. "What guarantee haye 1 if I let you go for the boys, that you will come back? Voil know you are charged with a capital offense." "You have the word of an (ndlan that be will come back," replied the half-breed. And the sheriff, with a knowledge of Indian character, let "Sonny" go as a special commissioner to inuit his own boys in the swamps and hills and bring them in. As time passed there was much grumbling in the community that the sheriff had let a cold-blooded mur derer loose among tho people. The victim was a young niau, popular in tho town, and connected with the best families in the county. Hut on tho fifth day "Sonny" appeared willi Iiis two sons and their wives and all the rest of the kin of the tribe of I Smith. "Here I am," he announced very proudly, "and here are my two sons whom i arrested in the swamps of the Arkansas river, close to Musko gee. 1 would have written to let you know 1 was on the trail, but tho most of Hie time I was away from tlie railroad lines and could not quit the trail long enough to mall you a postal. And il' there ls anything against me I am going to stay hero and light it out." "1 know enough of Indian charac ter to know that 'Sonny' Smith would make good where all of my deputies would ?lave failed," said Sheriff New block. "An indian's word is better than Hie bond of most white men." ?'???ma&BswosamK?Ua?????i???m?mp ppp P. P.

That will bo hard to do, from tho fact that ono engaged In tho deadly conflict must necessarily koop his nye on the fellow lu front of him. But for tho high regard that I have for my friend, I will do my best. In rending of war, and even after i/.ing upon photographs and sketches taken during the actual ope rations of n battle and tho writton details concerning tho same, "lt ls Impossible to grasp tho awfulness of a battle." We have heard men talk of war and battles, and have been In thom, and have gone over the ground on which the fiercest battles raged, and where ten thousand men, with the machinery of war, made desper ate havoc. At the approach of bat tle Hie old veteran knows by tho ac customed signs and activity about headquarters, strictness along the picket lines, that the war cloud ls gathorlng. The men aro not told that the battle ls ahead of them. They know the first duty of a soldier ls to obey orders, and good soldiers are prompt to do this. But the mon gradually guess pretty c'.oso when there ls going to be music in the air. No one knows tho hour when the long roll will beat, nor tho bugle and drums and shouts of ofllcors and the dashing here and there and every where of couriers bearing tidings and orders to be ready for the battle will come. There will bo marching and counter-marching boforo the conflict, or it. may bo immediate, without fur ther warning. Tho fatigue, mental strain and heartache of a battle are dilllcult to be realized by those who have never seen or been engaged in one. There Is often a halt and the men are held in ^lght of battle in dread expectancy and suffering, un der bursting shells, to be called any moment, to plunge Into tho vortex. This is most dreaded by men who have been In battle. All old soldiers will tell you that they would rather fight, live battes, and be In the hottest of the fray, than romain for fifteen minutes just outside the firing line and endure the trials that tho posi tion entails. Rattles open in many different ways. When I use the word battle I refer to a collision of magnitude one thal has boen deliberately plan ned and all the details worked out by generals and engineers. Skirm ishes are liable to occur in a some what haphazard fashion. Usually lite cavalry brings on the battle, and the artillery is used mainly to hold off advances and to protect the In fantry. At some points of the bat tle cavalry, infantry and artllery are all engaged, ""he energy displayed in Lattlo is like the supremo display of mental and physical powers of man. When bail and shell, sabre and bayonet are mingled in din and smash and clash, there ls no time no, not a moment-for the exercise ol' any other law Hum that of self preservation, which begins with the individual soldier and goes on until it readies Hie entire corps. When the, operations of n battle have in cluded the fullest meaning of tho violent collision, mon are inspired by varying emotions, from self-preser vation to the highest claims of chiv alry. For some Hine the battle lias been going on, Arin and steady. Now it ls "war to Hie knife." There ls the mad rush for position, the din of ex plosion from rifle to cannon, the heat, the smoke, Hie dust or rain, the ice, fair and calm-no matter what-the men fight on amid the shrieks of pain and the groans of the dying as they are trampled upon. There aro appeals for help when there is no time lo stop and no hand to give help. Cries for water come from the wounded and dying, but there is no water near, and there is no time to slop, lt ls a matter of 'fe and death-victory or defeat and on tiley plunge into the veritable hell. There ls a charm, too, In this ex -itcmcnt-Hie thrill of hope and vic tory, the love and pride of country home and self-the surging to and rn while comrades fall, and, wit ii the fate of battle hanging heavily. Then come the yells of officers and the shouts of Hie leaders every where, urging the men, in Hie name of country and sell*, to fight to the last, ditch and to the death. "War means fighting, and fighting means killing," said Gen. Forrest. Tho hours of fighting have been firm and steady; the time lins come to charge willi Hie bayonet. It may be with the cavalry or of weary In fantry. Repulse! Retreat? NTo, In (Sod's name, No! Rally! And the iOmmnncl rings out all along the line, '('barge with the bayonet!" Tlie boys-brave little fellows-rattle in willi their drums and roll out the rally, and on go th? surging' 'Masses, shells bursting, bullets singing, mis silos Whistling! but on they go, swooping the Held with the bayonet. Then crines the yell which for deep Iones and long-sounding terror lias never before marked the horrors of battle tlie "Itobol Yell"-a chorus of thousands of voices of men who, with but one Impulse, have sworn lo win or die in the Inst line of fire and smoke. On the enemy conies. Can non to tho right and cannon to the left, cavalry and infantry rush down upon tho butilo plain. Tho defend ers move on In grim deflanco, burl ing a deadly fire. And then the final crash! Anolhor yell-Hie scream of voices and glorious shouts of victory as the men advance and route tho enemy. And the battle ends and silence falls upon the dead forms. The sick ening sceno of war's horrors chilis the blood of tlie hardened veteran, but war ls his occupation and the condition is accepted. J. Russell Wright. Holton, S. C.

Ills suhject was "Business and Politics." 'We hear a great deal about the grafting Legislature and the bribe taking public officials in these days,", said Mr. Cohen, "but I want to ask you who makes possible ibis graft and who offers these bribes? We have in Chicago and New York two specliic instances. "In my own elly we have a legisla tive scandal in which a member of the Legislature ls accused of accept ing $1,000 ais a bribe for his vote. Bridge companies are not run by legislators; they are managed by the business men. While we have grown commercially powerful,are we becom. lng morally great? I think not, and tlie chief reason why we are not is that the very men to whom belongs the chief credit, for our tremendous prosperity are the men who exorcise the most malign influence over the public morals.
