Mr. L.

They knew it was )i" against the law to sol! cider with )- jamaica ginger, win her or not is it was a 4 per cen:er. These g two men, led by the unerring lo dictates of their nom and backed by the strong arm of the law, called on Mr. Chiklers in Whitlock's lot just about the time he i,. blew into town. NowMr.Chilfis. ers did not know it was against the law to sell this cider','so he , objected to losing it. But Messrs.

The Infant Was Rom Alive?Killed and Hidden in Sack?Mayor Young's Appea'. Monday afternoon at :<bout ; three o'clock, a ghastly find was made in a gulley beyond the pa- * per bridge near Gage's alley and Peake's spring in the southern part of town. It was the decav; ed body of an infant newly-born J and tied up in a small meal-sack, the sack branded Lock hart Mills, i Attracted by a number of buzzards, Carrie Richards, Parthenia i Rogers, Rosa and Walter Daw- * ' kins, all colored, w.ent to the ' spot and found the body partly ^ above ground in the gully, and with the right arm and leg buried in the sand. The head was torn from the ... body, apparently lay the' buz- . * zards, while the llesh off the left arm and leg was eaten away. ; The position of the body indica- <*- ,? ' ted that it had been put into.the ' hi d-ownvvard ar i Sergeant M. H. Evans was at once notified of the find. The body was lel'f in the gully Monday afternoon . that an inques" i might be held. Little was done on that afternoon on account o.' i the storm; hqwever, the juyv viewed the body and receiver the testimony of Dr. Linder. Mr. Evans gathered up the remains and interred them in Potter's field Monday night. Mayor Young acted as coroner I on account of Mr. Gregory's sicl ness, and the absence of Maga1 trate .Johnson. The inquest was held Tuesday afternoon and con, eluded Wednesday. The only I evidence beside the statement of ? those who found the body was the scientific testimony of Dr. T .indpi* In hi? rminir?n ?VU1 I I had been born alive, because of the lung conditions. And it was J either white or nearly so; this judgment was based on the color ! of the skin and the thickness ci i the skull. s The evidence all points to a i dastardly crime. Indeed then? , is no crime more terrible in it.; ^ nature than infanticide. Killing a helpless infant not responsible for either its birth or life, is d< : serving of severest punishment. I Mayor Young on Wednesday 1 afternoon made an eloquent api peal to the people of Unit a - County, "it is the most hori hie act perpetrated in Union du> ing my administration; blind ti. I ers and the like are tame affairs f compared to this. 1 call upon i every officer of the law, every physician, every minister of the 1 gospel, every newspaper mar, - every citizen, black or white, man or woman, to help in ferret ting out the perpetrator'or per peiraiors 01 mis need. 11 y< u know anything it is your duty i<> yourself, and the society of 1 which you are a part,to report it r to the officers of the law. A thin, y like this is difficult to hide, therefore some must know of it. lap peal to you to do your duty, and the guilty party or parties shall )_ feel the iron hand of the law. n r- """" d look Out!
