SERIOUS CHARGE
9
Made Against a Prominent Citizen
of Thomasvllle, 6a,
WHO IS BEING TRIED
For Abducting and Attempting a
Oriminal Assault Upon n Popular
and Wealthy Young I>ady of the
Same Town?The t^uae is Shrouded
in Mystery.
Thomasvillo, Ga., Deo. 1.?The
trial of the Hon. W. H. Mitchell,
otio of tho most prominent citizens
of Thomasvllle for abduction nnd
criminal assault ui>on Mise Luetic
Linton, a very popular and wealthy
young lady, also of Thomasvllle,
commenced on Monday. It Is one of
the most sensational cases ever tried
In tho covirtH of Georgia on account
of tbo extraordinary crimen charged
and tho prominence of tho parties
connected with It. Tho following Is
tho story of the case:
Late In October Miss Linton received
a telogrnm supposed to have
been sont by her brother from Moultrie,
stating that he was coming
across the country to her home,
loiter in the afternoon an alleged
negro woman handed Miss Linton
a note saying that her brother had
been tho victim of an accident and
was injured and In a houso about
four miles from Thomasvllle, and
asking that she come with all possible
haste to him.
Miss Linton left Thomasvllle In n
buggy, driven by what she supposed
was a negro woman, but whom many
believe was a white man In disguise.
Somo miles out from the city,
Miss Linton t>ecamo suspicious and Is
said to havo demanded that her
driver return to her home. An attempt
Is said to havo boon made to
smother her with a lap robo or a
blanket and tho screams of tho woman
brought to her assistance a
farmer and a negro man.
The driver sprang from the buggy,
and escaped In tho woods when
help came, and though posses and
dogs scoured tho woods, no one was
trailed. It la Bald a paper found
in tho buggy boro tho namo of
William H. Mitchell, who Is con
neoted with Miss Linton by mavriago.
Other discoveries, It 1? Bald,
were placed at the disposal of the
Brand Jury which returned tho Indictment.
It la said Mr. Mitchell
unhesitatingly admitted that It was
hlB horse and his rented buggy that
Miss Linton was carried away In
from Thomasvllle.
It Is also known that Mr. Mitchell
was energetic In tho pursuit of
the "woman" who fled and was
active in the matter of locating the
alleged assailant.
Mr. Mitchell has explained that
his horse and buggy had been stolen
from him. Ho has also admitted
that ho was In tho locality where
tho assault took place, claiming that
ho was looking for thieves who had
boon giving him trouble on h.ls
country place in that vicinity.
Other startling discoveries, admissions
and circumstances linked
together gave an added mystery to
the case and when all of tho circumstances
aro reviewed thero is promise
of the unraveling of sensation
after Bonsatlon.
Following tho abduction only
forty-eight hours Mr. Mitchell, while
seated In his room, was flred upon,
ho says, from tho outside. Tho same
bullot penetrated both logs and his
right hand. This chapter added
more interest in mo mysterious anil
sensational chapter of the case au.i
only more confusing tho situation.
Motives of many kinds havo been
ascribed by interested people who
havo watched the case. Theories
hive been advanced and speculation
has boon constant, but probably not
until tho verdict is returned, in th(
case and probably never will tin
whole truth bo known.
Tho fact that Mlsn Linton rofuset
to swear out a warrant or to taki
an active part in the prosecutioi
only baffled the olllcers all tho mor^
Then it was that a Pinkerton de
tectivo was called in upon the cas
and it is said to havo boon duo t
his unceasing efforts that the myt
tery has been brought beforo th
courts.
What Miss I.in ton Kay*.
The feature of tho first day (
the trial was the testimony of Mil
Linton. She told tho wholo story <
the trip through tho woods and <
tho attempted assault. She sal
that a supposed nogro wom?
brought her a message supposed
from her brother-in-law asking hi
to come to his house. She got in
the carriage with tho supposed n
gro woman, lior suspicions bocan
aroused and finally she was certa
that tho woman wao a man disguise
When tho solicitor general ask<
her if she recognised tho man, si
said, "Yes, is was Will Mitchell
She said sho did not lot him kne
that she recognized him. Sho poin
<?d a pistol at him, but was unab
to pull the triggor. She fought wil
him desperately. He tried to thro
a blanket over her face to keep h<
cries from being hoard, and tin
tried bandages. Sho said she offer*
him money and property to take h<

Ib'st Fertilizer For Gardens.
We always save all the poultry
manure wnicn wo seniler over ine
surface as evenly as possible and It
is well raked in before planting the
seed. We also save the ashes from
our wood tires, and give the surface
a generous sprinkling which Is also
mixed with the soli. This application
of potash makes our onions firm
and fine flavored and makes our
peas and beans boar an enormous
quantity, and laments other vegetables
also. Did we not have the
ashes we should use the commercial
fertilizer rich in potash for our onions,
peas, beans and tomatoes at
least, besides sweet and Irish potatoes.
Our Hpinaoh, lettuce, mustard, cabbage
and peppers did the best when
a good application of poultry manurc
was given. One year we grew
nearly six dollars worth of mange
peppers on a trifle over a square rod
of land. These peppers were a marvel
to all who saw them and would
have continued bearing longer but
frost cut them short. *
O^ui of Tomatoes.
As the season for fresh tomatoes
leaves us, the appetite for the fruit
Is seldom satisfied, and many housekeepers
turn gladly to the canned
varieties.
In opening tho con, pour off the
llnniri ftnri niftkrt it with thr>
solid slices, adding to them boiled
macaroni, and buttered broad
crumbs; use broth or beef tea for
moistening the mixture and brown
It nicely in a hot oven.
Or, dip the solid slices in wellbeaten
eggs and bread crumbs, and
fry them in butter. Serve very hot.
Of the liquid part and the broken
a Wee s of tomato, make a sauce,
adding salt, an even teaspoonful of
sugar and a dash of pepper, and set
away to cool. The next day heat
this sauce, dip slices of stale bread
in it, and out again very quickly
and then in beaten egg; fry brown
on both sides and serve very hot. j
This as an emergency lunch, with
hot rolls and a cup of tea or coffee,
makes a very satisfying repast for
one who is to have dinner at night.
Indeed, as a member of the "Light
Housekeeping Fraternity, I often
make it the pieco do resistance of
my dinner for one. *
Give it a Trial.
There is no business that cannot
be Increased and benefited by advertising.
No class of advertising
pays as well as a well written newspaper
ad. There is no work you
could do that would bring you as
great returns as to use thiry minutes
( time each day in the study of ad(
vertising, if you are in business.
Every morchut should advertise. It
^ is a kind of standing invitation to
5 the public that you would be glad
j to serve them. Givo it a trial.

The Children Are Gone.
Woe to him that Bmllos not over
a cradle or weeps over a toinb. Wo
always sympathize with a childless
couple and a llttlo child who has
neither brother or sister. A mar- , 4
rled couplo who has never tried g
the companionship of a llttlo child, j j
has carelessly passed by one of the .
greatest pleasures of life, as one v
payees a rare flower without plucking
It or knowing Its valuo. The I
same may be said of tho llttlo child ]
who has neither brother or sister ]
to be companionable with. I
To those whoso homes aro doubly
blessed with tho presence of the :
llttlo prattle wo would say have
patience and enjoy them while you 1
may. They will not trouble you
long. Children grow up?nothing
on earth grows as fast as children.
It was but yesterday, and that lad
was playing with tops, a buoyant
boy. He Is a man and gone now
There is no morn childhood for him
nor for us. Life has claimed him.
When a beginning Is made It Is like
a raveling stocking, stitch by stitch
gives nway until all are gono.
The little children grow up and
go out from the home one by one
untill they are all gone. The house
no longer has a child In It. Once
there was more noise in tho hall
when the boys would rush In pellI
mell, but it is very orderly now.
There are no more bats balls or kites
left scattered around and things .
aro neat now. There is no delay
now for sleepy folks; there is no
longer any task before you lie down,
or looking after anybody and tucking
In the bed clothes. The children
are all gone.
We get. so lonesome and heart
Horc hh wo remember the peculiarities
of the different little ones that
once shared our homo. Hut they
are gone, and we long for some children's
noiae. We wish tlhat our
neighbor would lend us a little one
or two to make a little children's
noise in our quiet, child deserted
homes. We realize that a home
without children is like a garden
without flowers. When they are i
gone wo yearn for them bnck. We
long to be tried again, to bo vexed, i
to bo run over, to hear children at
play with all their nolso nnd fuss.
Let us watch over and tenderly
guard the little ones that aro committed
to our care, for In a little '
while they will take their places In
the great army of men and women
and will be our little ones no more ,
for ever. God bless every little
child. ,

A ruling of vast Importance to the
rallroade carrying United States
mails has been made by the second
assistant postmaster general. Heretofore
it has been the practice of the
poHiorm-o aepanmeni to matte quarterly
payments for Hnch service, but
tho railroads contended that as a
matter of right and Justice settlements
should bo mt*do monthly.
For some time past the Rock Island
system has negotiated with tho department
to this end with tho result
that notification was sent out that,
beginning January 1, next, monthly
payments would bo made. The aggregate
amount Involved each year
Is over $48,000,000 and tho new ruling
will have the effect of putting
In circulation a considerable sum
each month. It Is a wonder that
this arrangement has not been made
before. *
Eat all the good food you like
Quit dieting. You don't have to
diet to cure dyspepsia. In fact, you
can not cure dyspspsia or indigestion
that way, but rather you must
add strength to the weak stom.ch
by taking something that v. ill dUost
the food which the stomach can n .t
digest. Kodol is the only thing
known today that will do this, for
Kodol Is made of natural digestivejuices
found in a healthy stomach
and It digests all food completely.
Kodol is pleasant to take, and is
guaranteed to give relief in any case
of stomach trouble. Sold by all
Druggists.
