J . When grip attacks a person of
k nervous temperament there js
usually a great depression ot spirits,
the patient is plunged in dis
pair, and no amount of argument
or raillery has any etlect on his
misery. The (nan or woman whose
nerves become so shattered that (
it is a torture to remain in bed,
and (he night is passed in a vain ]
attempt to get a little sleep is on 1
the down grade to nervous prostration,
insanity aud death. There
is no time then to experiment '
with new and untried remedies. '
Neglect or delay in this reRpeet
may prove a fatal mistake.
Dr. Mile's Nervine is the best 1
of all medicines for the nervous,
tired out and sleepless victim of |
the grip, just as it. is the best (
Nremedy for all other weaknesses
a and disorders of the nervous sys 1

of impurity clustered in the blood (
and thoroughly routs them out of
evf ry bidden corner of the body. :

SAM HOSE DIES
AT THE STAKE.
Heorgin Vengeance ns Horrible as
That at Paris, Texas.
Newman, Ga., April 23?In
the presence of nearly 2,000 peo
pie who sent aloft yells of defiance
and shouts of joy, Sam
Hose a negro who committed two
uf the basest, acts known to crime,
was burned at the stake in a
public road one and a one-half
miles from here this afternoon.
Before the torch was applied to
the pyre, the negro was deprived
t)f his ears, fingers and other portions
of his anatomy. The negro
pleaded pitifully for his life while
the mutilation was going on, but
itood the ordeal of fire with sur
prising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut 11 pieces,
the bones were crushed into small
bits and even the tree upon which
the wretch met his fate, was torn
up and disposed of as souvenirs.
The negro's heart was cut in
several pieces, as was also his
liver. Those unable to obtain
these ghastly relics direct, paid
their more fortunate possessors
extravagant, sums for them.
Small pieces of bone went for 25
eents, and a bit of the liver, crisp
y cooked, 80I1I for 10 cents. One
if the men who lifted the can of
kerosene to the negro's head is
laid to be a native of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania. IIis
name is known to those who were
with him, but they refuse to
ii' ., it. The mob was mm
t -,
posed of citizens of Newnan,
Jriflin, Palmetto and other little
towns in the country round about
Newnan, and cf all the farmers
who had received word that the
burning was to take place.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, former
governor of Georgia, met the mob
is he was returning from church
ind appealed to them to lot the
law take its course. In addressng
the mob he used these words:
'Some of you are known to me
? 1 when this affair is finally settled
in the courts, you may depend
upon it that I will testify
igainst you." A member of the
mob was seen to draw a revolver
ind level it at Governor Atkin
ion, but his arm was seized and
the pistol taken from him. The
mob was frantic at delays and
would hear to nothing but burning
at the stake.
IIoso confessed to killing CrauFord,
but denied that he had outraged
Mrs. Cranford. liofore
being put fo death the negro stated
that he had boon paid $12

the Jones boys met Ilose and he ^
was talking to him when he 11
noticed that his "ginger" face
h
was ebony black, but just below
the collar was discernible. Convinced
that the negro had black
ened his face to escape detection,
Jones became convinced that he *
was the negro for whom the au
thorities, assisted by bloodhounds,
had been scouring the country for 1(
ten days, and they determined to "
arrest him. Sunday morning a
they brought the negro into ^
Macon and put him aboard a cen u
tral of Georgia train with the intention
of bringing him to Ata
lanta. At Griffin some one recognized
hose and sent word on ^
to Newnan, the next station, that
the negro was on the train bound *
for Atlanta. When Newnan was c
reached a great crowd surrounded I1
the train and pushed into the
cars. Tho Jones boys were told 1

and that it was not necessary to 8
take him to Atlanta. This was ^
acceded to and the negro was 8

at the head of a yelling, shouting 8
crowd of 500 people to the jail.
Mere they turned him over to a

for the prisoner, thus making
themselves sure of the $1,250 reward
for the uarrest and delivery 8

TilK DETAILED STORY. ,A
Hose has been on the farm of g
the Jones brothers, between Ma H
eon and Columbus, since the day u
alter he committed his horrible oi
crime. His mother is employed j;
on the farm, and to her little tt
cabin he lied as a refuse. ?>he w
fed and cared for him, but it is q
not believed that she knew he n
was being hunted for by the tl
authorities. The Jones brothers t<
were not aware of the crime until w
a few days ago, and were not sure
that he was the much wanted
Iiis negro on to death without an
ientification. Mrs. Cranford,
rhom he is said to have assaulted
nd whose husband he is said to
ave killed, is sick in bed and
nable to bo here to say whether
iiis is her assailant. Let this
egro be returned to the jail,

agreed to by her daughter, who
had often seen Ilose around the
Crantord place. "To the stake"
was again the cry, and several
men wanted to burn him in Mrs.
McKlroy's yard. To this she objected
strenuously^ and the mob,
complying with her wish, started
for Palmetto.
Just as they were leaving Newnan
word was brought that the
1 o'clock train from Atlanta was
bringing 1,000 people to Palmetto.
This was thought to be a
regiment of militia, and the mob
decided to burn the prisoner at
the first favorable place rather
be compelled to shoot him when
the militia put into sight.
Leaving the little town whose
Sunday had been so rudely disturbed,
the mob, which now numbered
nearly 1,500 people, start
ea on me roaa to I'almetto iti a
line of buggies and vehicles of
all kinds, their drivers fighting
for position in line, following the
procession at the head of which
closely guarded marched the
negro.
CONFESSED T1IE CRIME.
One and a half miles out of
Newnan a place believed to be
favorable for the burning was
reached. A little to the side of
the road stood a strong pine tree.
Up to this the negro was march
ed, his back placed to the tree
and his face to the crowd, which
jostled closely about him. Here
for the first time he was allowed
to talk. He said: "I am 8am
Hose. I killed Alfred Cranford,
but I was paid to do it. Lige
Strickland, the negro preacher at
Palmetto, gave me $12 to kill
him!"
At this a roar went up from
crowd as the intelligence imparled
#by the wretch was spread
among them. uLet him go on ;
tell all you know about," came
from the crowd. The negro,
shivering like a leaf, continued
his recital. "I did not outrage
Mrs. Cranford. Somebody else
did that. I can identify them.
Give me time for that." v
