An embarrassing discovery was made yes.
terday in the house on Keith street, owned
by Mrs. Enjggins, part of whbich is occupied
as Welle' tonsorial parlor, and the other
part has been unoccupieffor some months.
Yesterday a gentleman, accompanied by
his wife and her sister, went to look at the
unoccupied apartments with the view to
renting them for a law office, they were
guided by Mr. Wells. who not only was
ready to show his willingness to have
a neighbor under the samne roof, but he
was anxious. When the rooms was reached
the young lady started into one, when she
was obstructed by the handsome tom of
the guide and advised not to enter that
room; womanlike, her curiosity was aroused,
and to her dismay and the guide's chagrin,
the place resembled a blind tiger after a
visit of State constables. The whola place
was covered with beer bottles, corks and
tin tops. Tben, of course, the guide was
set in motion to explain that they were not
his, but the discardedl property of a dis
penser of the State's law, however, the
young lady was not so easily fooled. She
is a judge of hum~an nature, and cm tell a

There is at present in the Giairendon
jail an object of pity; she is. Cornelia
Bryant, a white woman, under sentence
which will not expire until next An
gust. She occupies a cell about 6,8 feet,
and before the expiration of her sentence
she will become a mother. Her condition
appeals to humanity. and prompted by a
humane motive the writer went to Colum-.
bia to intercede withi G.overnor Elierbe for
her liberation; the Governor was sick and
could not receive visitors. We u-rote him
a statement of the wretched woman's con
dition and situ'ation, but he declhned to in
terfere with the conet's sentence. Again
we wrote him and pleadI with him to re
consider his decision, and again he refused

criminal condemned to die on the gallows
next month, and several others are on the
other side who are charged with murder.
The crime for which this white woman is
sffering is adultery, and while we cannot
condone her offense, we cannot help feel
ing a pity for the poor wretch under the
circumstances, anct we regret exceedingly
that we have been unable to get Governoi
Ellrn t looknat the case as we do.
A Ghastly Georgia Scene.
A horrible crime was committed
about two weeks ago near Newnan,
Ga., a few miles from the city of At
lauta, by a negro named Sam Hose.
Alfred Cranford, an unassuming far
mer, after his day's work was done,
was sitting at his supper table with
his wife and child, and while discuss
ing the meal, Sam Hose crept into
the room from behind, and sank an
axe to the helve in Cranford's brain.
The fiend then tore the child from its
mother's breast, flung it upon the
floor into the blood flowing from the
father's head. The horror-stricken
wife and mother was then seized,
thrown upon the floor, and, in the
blood of her husband, ravished.
Hose made his escape, and crowds
for ten days kept up a constant
seach for him. He was finally caught
and turned over to a sheriff, who
later turned the wretch over to a
crowd that would not listen to per
mnitting the law to take its course.
Ex-(Governor Atkinson endeavored to
reason with the crowd, without avail.
He told them that the law would
punish the wretch, and begged them
to return the prisoner to the sheriff.
The governor's words had no effect.
At a place one and a-half miles out
of Newnan, at a strong pine tree, the
the beast was permitted to talk. He
said: "I am Sam Hose. I killed Al
fred Cranford, but I was paid to
do it. Lige Strickland, the negro
preacher at Palmetto, gave me $12 to
kill him." "Let him go on. Tell all
you know about it," came from the
crowd. The negro continued, said:
"I did not outrage Mrs. Cranford.
Somebody else did that. I can iden
tify them. Give me time for that."
The crowd would hear no more.
They chained him to the tree, satur
ated his body with oil, and with
knives cut off his ears. fingers and
other parts of his body and passed
them around. He was butchered by
piece meal and then set on fire and
burned to death, amid the yells of
the maddened crowd. The crowd
fought for place about the fire, and
when it burned down they secured
pieces of his carcass for souvenirs.
The next day "Lige Strickland,"
the negro preacher, was found and
he was lynched also, in spite of the
fact that his employer told the crowd
that Strickland was an innocent man.

of the business for which the camp was

urging the members to attend the rennion
in Charleston, and that they contribute
something to aid the good people of Char
leston to entertain the visitors. Captain
Braiham's speech was a good one. He was
followed by Rev. James McDowell. who
exhorted his comrades to prepare them
selves for the world to come. He told them
that conditions were such that it was difhi
cult for him to get an opportunity to preach
tem a sermon, and he took advantage of
Ithe present occasion to give them a talk.

We are not in business for pleasure only; we want a reasonable profit
on our- goods. We don't propose baiting our people; we want to deal
~honestly, and thereby keep your trade. If we offer cloth at 5c per yd., we
will sell a bolt, or a bale, or all we have at that figure; because you may
rest satisfied that we are not selling below cost. We have a credit to main
tain, and do not propose selling goods below cost and then fail at 50 cents
op the dollar.
If we advertise goods at 5 cents we will sell at that price all you want,
and not try to sell you something else, or sell you only a few yards of it, and
then try to make up on something else. If we get bargains we give our
customers the benefit of our bargain prices, but we are not so desperate yet
as to offer gold dollars for 89 cents. Our customers may always depend
upon uniform treatment. We are home here, we were raised here, our
.friends are here, and we expect to retain their respect and confidence and
friendship. No man can sell goods below cost, and treat his creditors and
customers right; there must be some deception somewhere. A word to the
wise is sufficient.

of 'Dry Goods, Notions and fine Millinery without being fully convinced
