Hung* up by the heels and riddled

iEzekiel Truluck, wit'c of a farmer living
near Hudson's bridge. When taken
from among the convicts by the
mob the negro confessed the crime.
Wilson, who was a trusty on the
Sumter chain gang, now working near
went to Mrs. Truluck's house to get
some milk early in the morning. Returning
later in the day he attacked
her with a recur, which ho had stolen
from a guard, cutting her throat. As
she endeavored to rise he kicked her
in the face and she fell again. The
* negro then called her little son, who
had been near her at Die time of the
attack, to come close and see his moth
or. The boy approached. but saw the
blood streaming from his mother's
throat and fled screaming. The negro
unable to catch him and alarmed by
the outcry, made off into the woods.
Meantime Mrs. Truluck gathered
her failing strength and staggered in4?

Her little boy's cries brought neighbors.
Their essistar.ee was too Into
to help the unfortunate woman, bat
they came in time to track the murder
dercr.
Pursuers followed the trail through
the woods to a pond where the negro
had changed Lis clothing. The discarded
suit, ci ttcd with the blood of
his victim, w: s feutu! lvr.r.
The boy reported that the murderer
wore convi t's clothes and the
search of course was carric 1 to the
chaingang headquarters. The overseer
loeke I all the prisoners in the
cage forexannar.li r..
The two camp cooks announced that
Wilson had been absent a1 out tintime
of the murder. Ife stoutly denied
the strong, but strong evidence
was brought against him. A blood
stained piece cf underclothing, found
where he had changed his suit, fitted
the place where a piece had been cut
from his underclothing. The negro
at first sought to ascribe the crime to
another negro, but finally, upon being
identified by th? Ltt!'^ son of the murdered
woman, lie broke down and confessed.
With this confirmation of its suspicions,
the crowd changed into a
mob hungry for his death. Despite
the pleadings of law officers and cooler
citizens, the angered men took the
negro from the chaingang authorities
and bore him to the banks of Lynches
river. There the dpsiurn u-no

atecl with speed.
The negro was strung up by his
heels from a tree and his swaying
body was riddled with bullets. At
last accounts his body was still hanging
there, where the mob's bullets had
brought him death.
Wilson, who was about 18 years
old, was serving a sentence for store
breaking in Mayesvillle.
Mrs. Truluck, who was about 34
years of ago, was universally respected
and beloved. She leaves her husband
and two small sons, aged 9 and
7 years. Before her marriage to Mr.
Truluck she was Miss Kelly.
In 1852 U. D. Stephens, of Buncetown,
Mo., father of J. D. Stevens, of
Woodland, Cah, journeyed across the
continent in a prairie schooner. It
took just 100 days for the oxen to haul
tin* sl/sml" '?- ?
u.?n.iY moving wagon. Recently
this old gentleman had the pleasure
of going over the same route in an automobile
driven by his son. Just four
teen days elapsed from the time that
the engine started in Woodland until
the machine was brought to a stop in
front of the doorstep of the old homestead
in Bunceton.

FARMERS ARE HOLDING MITCH
OF COTTON.
There is a Fine Opportunity for Producers
to Cooperate in Marketing
Crop.
There probably are more bales of
cotton now held in the ownership of
the producers than at any other time
in the history of the industry, and it
is adso probable that this total will
bo very largely iiu reared before thero
will be any material improvement in
the demand, d/'clrrod a statement issued
last week by the o fivers of markets
and rural organizations of the department
of agriculture.
"The market, though much improved,"
continues the statement, "seems
still to he rather different to cotton at
the low price that is ruling. Under
present condition the movement should
continue slow. Every planter who
can do so is endeavoring to hold his
cotton for a better market. This
situation furnishes an opportunity for
producers to cooperate in the marketing
of their crops with exceptional
promise of success because in the
first place they have, perforce, plenty
of time in which to get together. In
the second place they hold an unusual
amount of cotton from which they can
in any given locality make up oven
running commercial lots, ready for direct
shipment to the mills or for export
or for sr.le direct to buyers.
"The more effective the organization
the easier it will be to negotiate
sales, and it is suggested that special
organizations can he formed for this
purpose. Membership should be open
to all producers of cotton known to be
solvent and trustworthy.
"The office of markets and rural
organization will endeavor to give
direct advice to any organization
which shows evidence cf having taken
definite preliminary steps.
"The few associations organized
within the past few years have
achieved a measure of success, which
warrants the belief that if the present
emergency results in bringing the
farmers together in effective local
selling organizations, the benefits
will, in a few years, compensate the
growers for the losses which this year
seems unavoidable on account of the
European war.'"
Mr. Phillips had Stomach
Trouble for More
than Five Years.
Mr. W.
land Ave., Atlanta, Georgia, writes:
"I had the catarrh and stomach
trouble for more than live years, and
I faithfully tried all the medicines I
saw advertised, and found they all
failed to cure me. I then heard of
Peruna. I purchased six bottles, and
after their use I soon discovered that
I was well, safe and sound. I now
weigh two hundred and ten pounds,
and have never been sick since I took
Peruna. It surely is the best medicine
for colds, stomach trouble and catarrh
that I ever heurd of."
SPARK IN BIRD NEST STARTS A
FIRE.
Dr. D. T. Riley's Quick Work Prevents
Serious Damage.
(Florence Timies.) |
Fire broke out in a back room of
the Riley Drug Co., today about 1
o'clock and had it not been for the
ciuick work of Dr. D. T. Riley serious
damage might have been done.
The fire started from a spark that
ilvnnr.n/l UiwaiimU

flue hole in the wall where birds had
made a n?st. Seeing the smoke coming
through the back store in to the
store I)r. Riley went to work and
soon discovered the flames reaching
out from the wall. He at once gathered
a bucket of water and dashed
it into the flue hole and by the time
the firemen got on the scene he had
the situation well in hand. The damage
was very slight.
