found It necessary to.take up with your

through a maze ot
red tape and be
passed along to
somebody "higher
up." All ot \^hich

your mental com
fort or get you

Georgia Negro Had Confessed To
Attack on (iirl
Rockyford, (la., March 2.?An un
identified Siegro, who confessed 'to a;
vaulting a fourteen-year-old white
girl near here this morning, was
burned at the stake late this after
noon about 2 1-2 miles from Rocky
ford. He was captured after a chase
lasting nearly throughout the day
and was wounded in the back with
a rifle shot.
This made his capture easier than
It would have been otherwise. He
was brought bacck to the scene of
his clime and identified by his vic
tim. He was then carried into u
field where brush and wood were
piled about his manacled form and
after gasoline had bee^i applied to
his clothing and the wood was soon
afire and it soon became vthe negro's
funeral pyre. The victim uttered but
faint outcries and was stoical through
the experience1. There was little dis
order and not much excitement.
Men well known in the commun
ity were in the mob. There was no
attempt to concealment of features.
The negro is known to have come
from the vicinity of Perkins, Ga., but
he did not tell his captors, his name.
The attack on the girl, .> member
of a prominent family in this sec
tion occurred this morning while she
was on her way to school. She gave
the alarm after escaping from her
assailant. He fled into nearby |
swamps, with a hastily organized
posse, led by two county officers with
bloodhounds, on the trail. Citizens
armed themselves and joined the
posse, the capture anct lynching end
ing the chase.

Fishermen Will Have To (iu Some To
Meat This One
To fully substantiate Mr, Morris*'
story about, his hog which liv^d for
about four months in nn olct dry well
and was taken out Wednesday, and
to put till doubt as to its authenticity
at rest, the chief of police arid a rep
resentative of The Item were sent oui
to the scene of the story Thursday
morning. The hog, which disappeared
in October from 'Mr. Norris* place at
Wedgefield was discovered in an old
dry well Unit had boon eovcrcd up
and out of use for some time.
The hog was in a terribly emaci
ated condition and showed ttyu effects
of his long fast. Mrs. Norris said
that she had been in the habit of
throwing scraps and slops in this old
well occasionally and this account.?
in some measure for the hog beinu;
able to. live this length of time.
That he had not had much to cat
in a long time is attended to by his
condition. He weighs around fifty
pounds now while his brothers and
sisters running around the yard will
scale well over a hundred.
The latest report is that the hog
is taking nourishment at fre.tp?'< nt in
tervals. and his condition is said to
be very satisfactory. A speedy re
covery is hoped for, and when he
dies at air honorable. old age there
will no doubt, be a great many mu
scums that will want to stuff him
and keen him among its curiosities.
