Roth men resized this, according to Deputy Lo;an, and when his chance came he tilled the negro. He had entered lolme's cell, and the negro attacked lim, it was stated, with a stool, leafing the officer unmercifully heore the latter could draw his pisol.

An unidentified negro, wanted for murder, Is concealed in an abandoned mine, twenty miles west of Birmingham, and with a rifle and plenty of food and ammunition is defying the authorities.

Of course, there is cleaning up to be done all the year round, and it should be the policy of every farinet and household in town to keep things just as neat and orderly at all times as he possibly can; but even \vh n this is done?and there will be a lot of odd jobs to be done in the spring?jobs that are all too likely in the press of work to be neglected, and which yet add much to the comfort and the charm of farm and town life. To begin at the house, there is likely to be some painting that needs to be done?there is, we are sorry to say, about most Southern farm homes. If your house needs anything along this line, right now is the best time to do it. If it doesn't, let us congratulate you. and then fix up the surrodundings so that they will be in harmoney with the home. O. many buildings which cannot, for various reasons, be painted, a good coat of whitewash will answer the purpose. Stabl* s, smoke-houses, chicken houses, pig pens, and fences can all be treated to a new white suit much oftener than they usuall" are with gnat, profit all around. The yard and the garden fences and the one about the imrnvnivt should bo cn-efui:y looked after, too, :\'l broken places fixed s? crrely right now, and all the gates put in good working order. There is no use itwaiting until the chickens get imo the garden and scratch it up or till the pigs root up the front yard to do those things. You will want, of course, to look ifter the grass in the yard, and the shrubbery and the flower beds, and the shade trees, to clean up all litter >f any kind, to set out some new shrubs and perennials, perhaps, to put out some late flowering bulbs; to cut out and dead brunches of do any other pruning that may be needad in the shade trees. Let us beg sou right here not to whitewash tlie trunks of your shade tres. That is all right in your orchard if you wish to kill the oyster shell hark louse; but on a shade tree in the yard it is an abomination. Then about your well or spring or cistern?don't deliberately court sickness and death by neglecting these. Clean off the soil about your well or spring, and tlx it so that there can by no possibility be any | surface drainage into it. Insist that no kitchen water or other refuse be thrown out near, or whi re by any possibility it can drain into the well or cistern, and do not allow the pigs or chickens to run about the source of your water supply. Do not permit any decaying woodwork to remain about or over the well or cistern, and do not allow any water to run into the cistern until the roof has been well washed off. All this may seem a great deal o'f trouble; but ordinarily it will not oe so much as it seems; and, in any ease, it is cheaper than to run t L x. tilnlr lirttl-wtfsl O tw1 luiT fl IC. i in.; i inn. ui vjf f/uwm (iii 11 ui iiv-i um eases. There should have been no dead, dry corn stalks or other litter left on the garden last fall; hut if there was, gather it all up and burn it before you do any more garden making. We do not approve of the burning of vegetable matter as a rule, but this is an extreme ease. You will have insects enough without providing special harbors for them. Besides you want the garden free from all obstructions of every kind so that you can cultivate it with th least trouble and in the best manner. Around ,the barn, in the stalls, pig pens, chicken houses, and from the barnyard, you want to get all the manure and other refuse and get it on the land. You can well afford to delay planting a day or two to do this; for you do not need this accumulation about the premises, and ? unless you are/ very much of an exception to the general rule of farmers?you do need it on your crops. Any old cornstalks or other such litter should be taken to the fields, too, unless needed for bedding. A clean barn with a well kept yard about it is always attractive, speaking, as it does, of. thrift and energy. A clean barn Is not an empty one, but one that Is filled only with good seed for the stock, and not messed up with waste, dirl of all kind, and a heterogenous mas< of old broken and worn-out tool! and miscellaneous rubbish. A barr may be kept so that one can go int< ft. without looking like ho had beei dragged through a dust heap; am can also be kept free from upleas ant and unwholesome odors.

News from Adana in Asiatic Turkey say l lie place is still lawless More people were killed in the city Tuesday. There are 30,000 dead in Adana province as a result of the massacre, and 3 5,000 homeless and penniless refug< es are wandering in the villayet. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated at 6,5 00. Adana is terrorized by 4.000 soldiers, who are looting, shooting and burning. No respect is paid to foreign properties. Roth the French schools have been destroyed, and It is feared that, the American school, commercial and missionary interests in Adana are totally ruined. The new vali litis not as yet in mired confidence. There Is r< ason to believe that, the authorties s4fll intend to permit the extermination of all Christians. The troops here are making a piatence of throwing water on the flames; instead of water they use kerosene and are thus purposely adding to the conflagration. Apprehension is felt regarding the American missionary stations at Hadjin and Tarsus. All letters and telegrams sent out through Turkish channels are censored. Sickening Atrocities.

Afiwiiniiuiiuiiniin III lilt* vintages and farms in this district are now coming in to Tarsus with sickening abundance. The worst particulars of these naratives cannot mentioned, but they set forth without doubt that at least 10,000 persons lost their lives In this province, and some estimates place the total casualty list at 25,000. Vi 1liages like Osmanieh, Bpzsche, 11amadeih, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Kezolook, were actually wiped out. Each of those places had populations of from 500 to 000 people. In one town of -1.000 people, there are less than 100 left, nearly all women and children. Entire families wore burnled to death in their homes. Hundreds of girls and women were maltreated and carried off to the harems. The correspondent was informed that in one place a party of 100 Armenians surrendered to the soldiers. The prisoners were taken to an open field and the women wjrre Ordered to stand apart from the men. Every one of the men were shot. Young Turks around Tarsus are trading young Armenian girls among each other for horses and modern repeating rifles. LITTLE GIRL KILLED. Delivery Wagon Crushes Infant to Death. A special to The News and Courier from Greenville says Eugenia CJi 1reath, the sixteen-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gilreath. of Greers, was run over a few afternoons ago by a delivery wagon and her skull fractured, death resulting at once. A young white man named Bui) Glenn, was driving the delivery wagon, and while looking over an order book, ran over the litle girl, who was in the street. He had not known of the accident until he ha 1 driven a couple of blocks. It is said he is almost frantic with grief. The little girl had slipped out of the house and into the street, where she was killed. . STUANGH ACCIDENT. I Sack of Guano Exploded and Injured a Man. Thursday afternoon on the plantation of Mr. S. H. Moore, between Waterloo and Harris Springs, a very unusual accident occurred. A tenyear-old negro boy while trying to untie a sack of acid had his left hand torn and lacerated by a terrible explosion. No one seems to know the cause of the accident.

Hyslop, of the American Soch ty of Psychtlcal Research, who, with l)r. Isaac M. Funk, has revealed many of the mysteries of spiritualism, relates, in the forthcoming Journal of Psychical Re nciircii, uie roinarkalilo case of Mrs. Susan Dellinger, of York , Pa. Prof. Hyslop has spent many years in endeavoring to discover any actual facts which would prove tho exlstance of a spirit world. In the case of Mrs. Dellinger he believes a material fact has been found. William 10. Hooper and his brother. Curvin, were shot and killed near a little church yard at York. Three young men were arrested and charged with the murder. Mrs. Dellinger, according to Prof. Hyslop, dreamed two nights after ho crime that she had seen one of the alleged slayers, Henry Snydor, pick up a revolver and throw it over the cemetery fence, where it fell by the side of a grave, on which she read in her dream the epitaph of "Curtis Site." On relating her dream the following day to her son, Mrs. Dellinger described minutely where the revolver was seen by her in her vision, and said that it could be observed from outside the fence. The son went tj tho cemo.e'y and found the weaj m \ xactly w u,re she had de-cribcd. Sydnor Subsequently confessed to the chief of police, accord! ig to Pre? Hyslop, and said that he had disposed of the revolver in exactly the manner described by Mrs. Dellinger in her vision. STHANUK ATLANTA MURDER. flrwk Fruit Dealer Slain In Alley. Neighbor Heard Struggle. C. Costelo, a Greek fruit vender, died at the Brady hospital In Atlanta a few days ago from' Injuries received at the hands of a murderer last Saturday night. He had finished his day's work and had driven his horse and wagon Into an alley on Luckie street. Mrs. J. Sharkey who lived in an adjoining house heard several blows. Looking out she asked Costelo what the trouble was. Oh, nothing," was . the reply. "The horse kicked me, that's all." He was asked If he was hurt, and the reply was that he was not, but was going to call a doctor in a few moments. Suspicioning the voice, the lady aroused her son and sent him Into the alley to Investigate. He found Costelo lying beside the wagon unconscious from several blows that had been rained1 upon his head. The form of another man was dlscernable in the darkness, but he escaped before he could be recognized. I The Injured man wab taken to the r hospital, but did not recover consciousness. ? Owing to the similarity of the attack, it is suspected that It came from the same source as that mads upon Mr. and Mrs. Wlttles, causing Mrs. Wlttles' death, several weeks ago. Wittles was also a fruit salesmar FIGHT TO THE DEATH. I A Poultry Itaiser Has Contest With a Wild Cat.
