The jailer states i at his room was opene.I and he was aroused about 1 o'clock this morning. His bunch of keys was on a dresser close by and ina very few minutes the mob, which seemed to consist of some 40 or 50 men, had The negro and had gone, some staying :n the room "witili- the jailer while others opened up the cell upstairs and procured the prisoner. Trio entire affair was kept so quiet that few people in Hampton knew ] anything about it until late in tee day today. Sheriff Williams was no- J rified some time shortly after the ne-; gro had been taken and he and his j <teputy, Herman Lightsey, set on to see iif they could prevent the lynching, find the body L:' the negro had been lyncf:edL or apprehend t&e lynchers. Xot until about 1 o'clock today was the 'body discovered. Xo one could be found who knew any- j thing aboat the lynching and now it J is impossible to get any definite, posi- j live information as to the final af-; fair. The body was found lying near j the road between Hampton and Prince ' Williams Baptist church, about two ailes from Hampton. The prisoner's ' hands had been tied behind his back j and his body bore the marks of several bullet wounds. It now appears that this negro attempted an assault upon a young white woman who lived near Prince ! Williams church late Thursday after noon, December 10. He was working for a band o: gypsies who were camp-, ing in that community and shortly j ~a>:ter the attempted crime this negro v;as appref:ended with the assistance cf the gypsies and lodged in jail, H^-e negro's attempt was not carried out i because the screams of the young | woman brought prompt assistance to her. It is said today that an attempt was made to storm the jail on Saturday night, December 12, but the sheriff "had been warned and the jail ^ ~ r, Vrv -fn t'h ar t h rod f c HP YV guai UCU.

How Australian Boys Are Trained Fo Military Service. I Australian lads of twelve years be [ grin a more or less voluntary form o' ! military training. It is an indulgent happy-go-lucky bort of thing, designed | primarily to be of physical advantage i Whpn thf> hids are fourteen years old I j a limited military service is severely j compulsory, with penalties for evasion j and tines laid upon employees and par i ents who interfere, and thus continues. with physical exercises, drill, parades i and rille practice, for four years, whereupon these cadets are passed into the citizen forces. Four whole day drills are required ! each year and twelve halt day drills : and twenty-four uight drills. A per ; functory attendance upon these grave ; obligations?inapt, sullen, frivolous be havior?counts for nothing at all. If j the cadet fails to be marked efficient i by his battalion officers be must per1 form his service all over again. In Kalgoorlie. in Western Australia? a great dust storm oiowing iuai msuiwe watched a column of these "little i conscripts" march past with rifles and bugles and drums, and they were smart to see?brown uniforms, with tricks of | green, and wide brimmed Australian j hats caught up at the side in the Aus i tralian way. It is no farcical affair. When we were in Brisbane, in | Queensland, a score of truant youngI sters were packed off to the military I barracks for ten days of close contine' ment and drill, and away they went in a big Cape wagon in charge of a sergeant major and under escort of some brilliant artillerymen, a melancholy little crew, these truants, then, facing ten days of absence from home and six ! hours of d'ill on the hot parade ground unde i sergeant} major who doubtless knew how to improve the patriotism of small culprits and would do it with a j switch.?Norman Duncan in Harper's Magazine.
