GEORGIA SHERIFF HAD SAND. * He Protects a Negro Prisoner. Firing Upon Attacking Mob, One Killed and Two Wounded. Carrollton, Ga., June 7.-The nerve of an obscure Georgia sheriff whose name is Joseph Merrill today upheld the law of the State and saved the life j of a negro from a mob. In protecting the negro, who was saved from the i gallows only a few hours before through the efforts of his lawyers, one ^ life was lost and two men were wound? ed. The arrival of the State militia prevented threatened trouble tonight, and at 9 o'clock a special train, bear? ing the negro, whose crime was the murder of "a little white boy whom he found fishing alone, and his guard, was speeding toward Atlanta. The man killed in attacking the jail was George Bennett of Carrollton, and the wounded men are Thomas S. Word, father of the murdered boy, and an V* unknown man presumably a farmer. "Williams, the negro, was tried and found guilty of murdering Otis Word, Jan. 1st, this year, and sentenced to be hanged today, being refused a new trial by Judge Harris this morning. His attorneys, Reese, Smith & Boy kin, filed a bill of exceptions and car * ried the case to the supreme court. A large crowd of people had come to town to witness the hanging, and when it was learned that an appeal had been taken to the supreme court, delaying execution, there was much talk^ which crystalized soon after in the formation of a mob. At noon the mob made an assault on 0 the jail. They battered down the out? side iron door, despite the warning of the sheriff, and entered the building. They made a'demand on the sheriff for the key to the negro's cell, but were refused. With the refusal, they began their advance upon the sheriff and the few deputies which he had been able to summon to his aid. They were told ' to stop or they would be fired on but the order was not obeyed. As they advanced down the corridor towards the sheriff, the order was given to fire. Bennett fell, dying al? most instantly. Thomas Word, the father of Williams' victim, who was in the front of the mob, was badly shot, as was an unknown countryman. The unexpected fight of the sheriff and his posse frightened the mob and they retreated outside the jail. Here they broke and ran and were soon di? vided into little groups,.discussing the ?event Sheriff Merrill at once consulted Judge Harris, of the county court, and it was decided to call upon Gov. Candler for aid. The governor was communicated with by telephone and ?said he would send two companies ?. from Altlanta as soon as they could \ be assembled. During the afternoon the mob tele? phoned the situation to friends in the adjoining towns of Villa Rica and Temple and made an appeal for more men to capture the negro. This was also communicated to Gov. Candler and the governor soon wired a procla? mation to the people of the county. It was read from the steps of the court house at 4 o'clock by the mayor. The governor commanded the people to dis? perse and said the entire military and civil forces of the State would be used to enforce order if necessary. The reading of the proclamation apparently iad a good effect, as many people were seen to mont their horses and leave town. Much apprehension was felt for the night and the sheriff and city and county officials, after a consultation, -decided to take the prisoner out of the county for safekeeping. The Atlanta militia, under command of Major Bar leer, arrived about 6 o'clock, and one hour later escorted the negro and sheriff to the train which was soon speeding southward for Atlanta. UMBI? ll li IW Valuable Walnut Trees. There is more wealth in our forests than in gold mines if the timber is properly cared for. One walnut tree, cut in Haywood county last week, brought $1,000. The people who live in such a country are rich if they only know it. This recalls an inter? view with Mr. S. L. Rogers, corpora? tion commissioner, which recently ap ' peared in the High Point, X. C., En? terprise. We quote: "Railroad Commissioner Rogers, who was here Saturday, was talking about the value of North Carolina timber. He said that he had only one story to relate, and that was a big one. A man in western North Caro? lina was selling standing timber walnut trees. The man who was buy? ing . came to one very handsome tree. He told the owner he would pay as much as $50 for that tree. This ex? cited the owner. He did not sell, but sent for experts. The owner got $1,500 for the tree (curled walnut) as it stood. The man who cut it down realized S3,OOO for it on the cars. It was shipped to New York and veneered one-sixth to half an inch. The sales were watched and esti? mated as the best that could be done, and when all was disposed of it turn? ed out that the tree brought near $60, 000. The point is this: Wa have no idea as to the value of our timber, much of which is being sent north for a mere song. We can become rich in North Carolina if we work our raw material as others work it for us." Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer. The Tillman Resignation. There seems to be an unwarranted effort to force Senator Tillman to resign his commission unconditionally, even after Senator McLaurin has with? drawn his resignation. We give Sena? tor Tillman credit for too much gray matter to believe he will be bluffed or trapped by such patent attempts to raffle his temper and collar his job. He went to the limit when he laid down his six years' commission in order to get Senator McLaurin to re? sign. That was the sole purpose of the Tillman resignation, and having been thwarted to his object why should he persist in resigning and running over again just to add to the gayety of the nations? We accord to Governor McSweeny disinterested and patriotic motives in returning the resignations and giving Senator McLaurin the opportunity to withdraw his. but in doing so he spoiled the game, and nullified ail that Senator Tillman had sought to accomplish.-Augusta Chronicle. SENATOR PUTT CONSTRUES CU? BAN BILL. Had No Idea of Compromising Sov? ereignty of Cuba When He Wrote and Voted For Amendment. Washington. June 7.-During the conference between Secretary Root and the Cuban commission, the secretary wrote a letter to Senator Platt of Con? necticut, who introduced the Platt amendment, asking for his views rela? tive to intervention as mentioned in the third clause of the amendment. Senator Platt replied and his letter was furnished the commission confi? dentially by the secretary of war and was incorporated into and made a part of the acceptance of the Platt amend? ment by the constitutionaljconvention. The letter however appeared in a Ha? bana paper and today was made pub? lic by the war department. Its text follows : "I am in receipt of your letter of this date, in which you say that the members of the commission of the Cu? ban constitutional convention fear that the provisions relative to inter? vention, made in the third clause of the amendment which has come to bear my name, may have the effect and in reality establish a protectorate or suzerainty by the United States : and you request that I express my views of the question raised. "In reply I beg to state that the amendment was carefully prepared with the object of avoiding any possi? ble idea that by the acceptance there? of, the constitutionl convention would thereby establish a protectorate or suzerainty, or in any manner whatso? ever compromise the independence or sovereignty of Cuba: and, speaking for myself, it seems impossible that any such an interpretation can be given to the clause. I believe that the amendment should be considered as a whole, and it 'ought to be clear on reading it that its well defined pur? pose is to secure and safeguard Cuban independence, and set forth at once a clear idea of the friendly disposi? tion of the United States towared the Cuban people and the epxress in? tention on their party to aid them if necessary, in the maintenance of said independence. These are my ideas and although, as you say, I cannot speak for the entire congress my belief is that such a purpose was well under? stood by that body. " Verv respectfully vours. "O. H. Platt." REJECTED KEROSENE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. Bad Oil Dumped on This State When Condemned in Georgia. Mr. E. B. Hook, oil inspector at Augusta, said yesterday : '41 have just had to "reject" my first car of oil since I became oil inspector a year and ahalf ago. " "What do you mean by that?" was asked. "You see," said he, "oil is shipped into Georgia by the Standard Oil Company and a few other big concerns in tank cars that hold from 4,500 to 8,000 gallons. On reaching its desti? nation in any Georgia town, a sample is take from the car and subjected to a prescribed test by the oil inspector at that place. If it comes up to the requirements of the 150 degrees test, it is stamped 'State of Georgia. Ap? proved, and is salable anywhere in the State. If it does not meet the test it is stamped ' State of Georgia, Reject? ed, ' and cannot be unloaded or sold in this State. I have placed this stamp upon a tank car for the first time in mv service as inspector." "How did it happen?" "I do not know. The Standard Oil Company has been very parti? cular to send only good Oil into Geor? gia since the -standard was raised on the first of January, 1900, by Hon. O. B. Stevens. Georgia's wide-awake commissioner of agriculture. The test in Georgia used to be 120 degrees, but Mr. Stevens found that a different sys? tem was used in New York, which made 150 degrees the standard, and he said Georgia must have as good oil as was demanded by any other State, and adopted the New York test. The Standard Oil Company was given sufficient time to dispose of the oil on hand in the State and notified to ship none after January 1, 1900, into Geor? gia that could not stand the 150 degrees test. This has been strictly observed heretofore, and I was as much sur? prised when the oil failed to stand the test as no doubt the Standand Oil Company was to hear that a car had been rejected." "Was it bad oil, I mean dangerous oil for the consumer?" ' ' Oh, no : that is, it was no more dangerous than millions of gallons that were burnd in lamps in Georgia before the test was raised from 120 degrees to 150 degrees. It would easily have passed the test that was required in Georgia before Commissioner Stev? ens raised the standard. The peopie of Georgia can rest assured that they get only the best, and need have no fear of the quality of oil stamped State of Georgia, Approved." "What did you do with it?" v/as ask? ed-of the inspector. "After stamping it 'rejected' lex pressed a sample to the State inspec? tor, Mr. Glascock Barrett, at At? lanta, notified him of my action and asked for further instructions. I re? ceived :he following reply: State of Georgia, Department of Oils, Atlanta, Ga., June 3, 1901. Mr. E. B. Hook, Augusta, Ga. Dear Sir :-- The sample of oil arrived and was tested by Dr. McCandless in the presence of a representative of the Standard Oil Company. You were correct in rejecting it, and not allow? ing them to unload it. They have agreed to transfer this tank to Caro? lina. Glascock Barrett. State Oil Inspector. ? It will be seen from the foregoing that the action of the local inspector is fully sustained, and that the oil will not be permitted t<> be used in this State. Carolina is less parti? cular about the grade of oil furnished to her citizens, and the tank car will be transferred to some place in the State.-Augusta Chronicle. ! Winthrop Collegs Board of Trustees I ; Does Important Work in Short Session. ! Rock Hill. June 7.-The board of trustees of Winthrop college adjourn? ed after a day of hard work. Several matters of importance were settled. It was decided to begin the next school year on October 9. This is three weeks later than the beginning of the term just ending. The session will be as long as the one just closed and will therefore close about June 25. This is not a permanent change but is for the year, and is made necessary by the imperative need for the new dormitory. It is hoped that this will be completed before that time, but no chances can be taken on a matter of such importance. Any temporary ar? rangements for 200 new pupils is out of the question. The dormitory must j be completed before the work of the j term begins. The board decided to purchase and put into operation a complete canning outfit. This is with a view of can? ning fruit for use in the winter. The outlook for a crop of fruit at the col? lege farm is very fine and advantage is to be taken of this success. The effort will be made also to raise much of the poultry used by the college boarding department, and at the same time this industry will be made the subject of instruction. It was deci? ded to make an exhibit at the South Carolina and West Indian exposi? tion provided the State commission would extend any aid. The following instructors were elected for the coming year: Pro? fessor of natural science. Mr. T. 0. Mabry of Oxford, Miss., in place of Dr. Cleveland Abbe, Jr., who goes to Germany to continue his studies: assistant in mathematics, Miss Fan? nie Watkins of Laurens : assistant in Latin, Miss Anne Lichtenwanga of Knoxville, Tenn. : assistant in drawing. Miss Cornelia Stevens of Philadelphia : assistant in English, Miss Beula McMillan of Charleston : assistant in physical culture, Miss Olive Pyle of the Boston Normal School of Gymnas I tics. Miss Callett, who was for some years the head of the department of sewing, dressmaking and millinery, and who has been at home during the pas-: year, was elected to her old position. Several positions are yet to be filled-instructors in vocal music, in elocution and reading, in mathema? tics, and the resident physician. A change of some importance was made in the arrangement of the year's work. Heretofore the year has been divided into three terms of equal length. Hereafter there will be two terms only. This will require some readjustment of the course of studv and will make it necessary to hold only two examinations instead of three during the year,. The executive committee reported that the contracts for completing the dormitory had been signed. The ses? sion of the board was a laborious but satisfactory one. BUG IN HIS SIDE. Danielson, Conn., May 31-With a live bug as big as his thumb nail in his side, Peter Clouter, of this place, suffered for three months from what he thought was an abscess. Recently the insect came out from its queer prison, fighting viciously. Doctors hereabouts are anxiously awaiting the results of an investiga? tion being made by Dr. Franz Pfaff, of Harvard Medica! School, to whom the bug has been sent for exmination. It was three months ago when I first felt a little lumpp in my right side, said Clouter. "I thought at first it was a boil. It continued to grow and pain. Then at times I felt queer itching and sharp pains in my side, as though something were mov? ing under the skin. The lump grew nearly as large as my fist. I didn't consult a physician, but some of my friends told me I had an abscess. A week ago the lump be? came inflamed. "As I examined it out crawled a bug that looked half like a potato bug and something like a spider. I took hold of it with my fingers and it fought viciously with its twelve legs and tried to get away from me. I held it and took it to Dr. Leclair. He was not at home and I showed the bug to Dr. Judson, who asked for it and I let him have it. Dr. Judson said : "I saw Cloutier examining the bug and naturally became interested and asked to see it. I have never heard of such a case and related it to several of my medical friends. As we were unable to tell the nature of the insect I sent it to Dr. Pfaff, of Harvard, for classifiction. We are awaiting the result with much inter? est. "The creature had the appearance of a wood tick, being grayish in color, with twelve legs, a body about the size of a bean and the appearance of a spider. I expect to hear from Dr. Pfaff in a few- days. I am inclined to think that it grew from a parasite imbedded in the skin." The Great Fly Wheel Burst. Charleston, June 7.-A fly wheel at the power house of the Charleston Consolidated Railway', Gas and Elec? tric Light Company, 16 feet in diam? eter and weighing IS tons broke into a myriad of fragments at ll o'clock tonight, one of which killed a nergo woman. At the time of the accident the wheel was making 150 revolutions a minute and enormous pieces went through the wall and roof. One piece, five feet long and weighing about a ton struck a shanty .'?50 feet from the power house and killed Lydia Bon neau, a negro woman. In the bed by her side was her husband who was un? touched. After killing the woman the mass of iron burst through the shanty and finaly half buried itself in the ground 15 feet away. A SMALL" BOY'S IDEA. Tom, who is four years old, heard his pa say he was surry not to have any guinea squashes to set out.

June 3.-The Confed? erate soldiers' home, a state institu? tion for indigent veterans was opened today. The anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis was observed as a public holiday in this city, and the crowds which witnessed the opening exercises were large. Speeches were made by Gov. Allen D. Chandler, Hon. Clark Howell, president of the State senate : Hon. John D. Little, speaker of the house of representa? tives, and Mayor Livingston Minis, of Atlanta. It was through the work of the la? mented Henry W. Grady, as far back as 1888, that the soldiers' home be? came established, but the movement was attended with many trials and vexatious delays. In 1891 the institution was tendered the State, but the legislature declined to receive it. A heated fight and much contentione nsued, it being again tendered in 1892 and again re? fused. A decree of court was then obtained for the sale of the pro? perty but efforts to sell it was fruit? less. Finally the Reunion association, of Atlanta, having on hand a surplus fund of S3,394, proposed to give that sum to the home provided that the legislature open and maintain it by January 1, 1901. In October, 1898, the institution was again tendered to the State, but the bill was laid on the table. May, 1899, saw the property again exposed for sale, but there being no satisfac? tory bid the court refused to confirm the sale. Finally, last year the gov? ernor having recommended a bill for the acceptance of the home, such a one was introduced by W. T. Gary, of Richmond county, and at last passed by the assembly. The home is about five miles from the center of the city and is beauti? fully located. Six veterans were ad? mitted today. GREAT RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION. All Railroads from Mississippi to Pacific Coast will be United. New York. June 3.-The Press to? morrow will say that one tremendous consolidation of all the railroads ope? rating between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast promises to re? sult from a settlement of the differ? ences which caused the Northern Pa? cific corner. The Press will say that it "is able to announce on the highest authority that not only the differences been set? tled between the Morgan-Hill faction and the Hardman party regarding the Burlington deal and the relations of that railroad and the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern with the Un? ion Pacific, but also that the St. Paul, the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago Great Southern will be taken care of in the great har? monization scheme of the trunk lines of the west. "Exact deails of the harmony agree? ment are withheld until J. Pierpont Morgan arrives from Europe. He will sail for this country tomorrow (Wednesday. ) James J. Hill, who has been his representative in the North? ern Pacific conflict and in the practi? cal management of the Morgan-Hill railroads has remained 'incommun? icado' giving to his friends the assur? ance that they must 'wait and see. Facts will tell the tale in good time. ' "In Mr. Hill's simple expression is the whole truth in a nutshell. The agreement regarding the controversy over the control of the Northern Pa? cific means first, that that property will remain under the direction of the Morgan-Hill faction, although the Kuhn, Loeb-Harriman-Gould faction, backed by the Rockefeller andSillman interests, owns the majority of the common and preferred stock combin? ed ; and, further, that the harmony agreement will result in a closer alli? ance between trans-Mississippi rail? roads which extend from Chicago to the coast, and have affiliations to carry American products to the far east." ORKNEY LULLABY. A moonbeam floateth from the skies, Whispering: "Heigho, my dearie: I would spin a*web before your eyes A beautiful web of silver light Wherein is many a wondrous sight Of a radiant garden leagues away, Where the soft tinkling lilies sway And the snow-white lambkins are at play Heigho, my dearie!" A brownie stealeth from the vine, Singing: "Heigho, my dearie : And will you hear this song of mine A song of the land of murk and mist Where bideth the bud the dew hath kist? Then let the moonbeam's web of light Be spun before thee silvery white. And I shall sing the livelong night-| Heigho, my dearie!" The night wind speedeth from the sea, Murmuring : ' ' Heigho, my dearie : I bring a mariner's prayer for thee: J So let the moonbeam veil thine eyes. And the brownies sing thee lullabies But I shall rock thee to and fro, Kissing the brow he loveth so. And the prayer shall guard thy bed, I trow Heigho, my dearie!" -Eugene Field. Hamilton, Bermuda, June 4.-The governor has received notification that the transport Armenian will arrive here July 3, with nine hundred Boer prisoners, and that two companies of the Royal Warwickshire regiment will act as their guards. Milwaukee, Wis., June 6.- The Pabst Brewing company suffered a loss by fire tonight to the extent of be? tween 8150,000 and 8200,000,fully cover? ed by insurance. One man was killed during the progress of the fire. Aiken. June 0. Capt. W. G. Chafee has received his commission as post? master at Aiken and will probably fake charge at once. Mr. C. E. Car? men has been acting as postmaster since Mr. Chat-field's death. After ! Senator McLaurin secured the appoint ! ment of Mr. Chafee his commission ? was held up pending charges made j against him to the department, but j the matter seems now to be settled.
