SAM HOSE'S CRIME.
The Fearful I)ec<ls of the Black
Fiend Who Was Butchered.
The full story of tho crimes of Saui
Hote, tho negro who was buruod ut
the stake nod butchered while yet
alive, last ciunday at Newman, Cia.,
is told iu tho Atlanta Journal us fallows
:
"1 was suspicious ci'Sini and had
been for a day or two," said Mrs.
Cranford.
"Thursday night ho knocked on the
door which opened iuto our room, lie
occupied a shed room which iiad previously
been used for plunder. I
struck a light nud told Alfred to be
careful. Alfred went to the door,
opened it and quickly stepped behind.
This ii aU thai saved him Tuesday
night.
' Wednesday night Sam was glum
aud didn't have much to say. When

and nnself went into tho dining room
and began our meal. Alfred sat with
Ins bat* 'o tho inbide door, but purposely
f?*red the outside door to keep
an eye on S in, as ho then sua reeled

at uplifted abtvo his head, and before
I could ecrcatn dawn came tho fi with
terrific force, splitting Alfred'* head
wide open, tltG ax sinking to the eye.
Alfred threw up his hand and looked
at mo for u second, and then fell forward
and pitched out of the chair to 1
the floor. The sight was so awful, the
hlack demon staudiug over him, thr t
I screamed.
" 'You just breatbo agai;i I'll kill 1
you,' crictt the negro, raising the ax 1

How to Help Your Town.

streets, patronize its merchants, adver I

terprise always, speak well of its enter- i
prising men; if you can't think of t
some good to say keep quiet; if you t
are rich invest in something to em- i
ploy somebody; be a hustler, bo cour e
teous to strangers that come among t
you so that they will go away with a i
good impression; always cheer up the r
men that go in for improvement*, t
Your portion of the coat will only bo ?
what is just. Don't kick about nec< t
essary public improvements because <
they are not at your own door or for 1
fear that your taxes might be raised <
fifteen cents.?Edgefield Advertiser, t
anil struck Alfred with all hi * might | '
on the temp'e. Again lie lifted ihe ax
and struck until three tcrrilij blows
had been given, tbo last two struck
after Alfred had falieu to the l'-xir.
"Then, to ruake the crime complete,
the negro kicked hue viciously.
"The negro then rushed over to
where 1 was. lie tore my little baby
from my breast and throw it across i 1
the room. Little Mary said:
.... . " 'Ob, dou't hurt my poor papa,
Sam." .
"The negro slapped her full in the
lace a foarlul blow, and the c'aild fell
several feet away unconscious,
" If you dou't behave,' e ?i J he to 1
Marv, 'I'll kill you too '
"Then he caught me by the arm a> d
said: 'I ain't er goiug to hill you.'
' "lie dragged mo into the room, > 1
across the body of my husband Ob, V
it is all so horrible. It'll drive me 1
iuad.''
Then Mrs. Cranford broke down 1
and wept as a little child whose heart
is almost bieaking over i:.s first rcai 1
disappointment or angry rcproval.
The aernult was made upon the 11
horror-stricken woman within three
feet of her prostrate, dying husband,
a crime so fearfully inhuman as to (1
arouse even the indignation of a vast. v
majority of tho negroes here, who say
Hose should be killed tho mcment he j
is caught.
"Sam, alter that, caught mo again J\
by my arm and pulled me around the
room. He eaid he wanted my money,
and I told him he could have anything g
in tho house, just eo he didn't kiil my n
children. o
"He opened the trunk and took out p
some Confederate hills. Ho thought J
it was gofid money. Then he caught v
? me and dragged mo over my husband's i
body and carried by force into tho
,, room in which the crime of murder g
was committed. He then released mc, a
;caught up his nipper in both hanuc, '
and ran out of tho door, saying: *1 r
have dono now what I have always r
wanted to do, and they can catch me j:
if they can.' I shut the door and
walked out into the yard to see if he r
was really going away. I watched u
him until he was out of sight, and p
- then I went in and picked my braised p
little children up ia ir.y arms and he- r
gan to run to Alfred's lather's home 1
nearly a mile awajr.'' *

A Practical Reform.
C mimentiug upon tVo terrible uflhir J
at Palmetto, Ga, Gov. Candler, of' f
Georgia, says among other things:
"The Legislature can do but little,
but there is one evil which they c.iu j
c mtributa eonmhig towards correct,
iug. That is the custom which has (
grown up among come ol' the uicmb- rs
ot tho legal profersitn of trying by
tec'iuienliiieB and quibbles to protect
thvir clicnte, even when guilty. This J
evil has grown to such ati extent that
it is made an excuso for lynch law,
tho mob clr.i-jiiug that if tluy do not
take ths administration of justice
into thsir own hands it will not he
administers 1 It behooves all leg's
Inters and courts to discourage in ~
every legitimate way such practice .
an Imvo a tendency t? d-feat the ends
of justice, nn?l destroy coutiJencs in
the willingness and ability of the (
courts to protect the innocent and pun *
ish the guilty." j
Tbcro is force and wisloni in this.
' The law'd delay" is unquestionably a
coutributnry cause to the lynching
-pirit that prevails throughout the <
South. Technicalities avi quibhl s ?
often servo to dfiVat justice and white k
men wl>> eee vile black criminals es- (
cape a fata they doservo thrice over, p
grow unwilling to trust to the courts p
for punishmcut of crime. They take a
