umumm.'VMM.mm . v .. The Impressions of a Buckeye Bambler -n- - U Politics, Politician, Incidents, Etc No. IV. BT W. 8. B. To the Editor of The Leader: Doubtless long ere this the news of that infamous outrage committed upon a colored lamily in Clayton county, Georgia, has reached the ears of many of your readers. "Words are inadequate to express one's indig nation; the English vocabulary is too SCant; the deed was diabolical in the i t -i a 1 extreme, it mrew uie community into utter contusion. The relentless hands of the murderers drew forth me Bvmnamv 01 me entire state in . l . l r il . -,. . . behalf of the victims. The facts seem to be these: Some time ago a young wmto man du a cuioreu man uau a 1-4.1 . 11 l.. . a m, I ntue iroUDie relative to a piOW. Tne wnite iellow beat the colored man .... r . i eovereiy. xne lamer ui tue cuioreu man indicted the white Iellow lor assault and battery. He secured a verdict, notwithstanding the opposi tion. This eottled the matter for a while. Some weeks ago a band of ruffians, diesruised. at a Tate hour, attacked theliouseof this old gentleman (Mr. Thompson), who had figgured in the trial just mentioned, and demanded admittance. He, suspecting, of course, refused to eomply. Several domands were made, with threats: bat with a similar result. Finally they attempted to break open the Honr. The nM colored o-antlamnn and his son were resisting the devils , ..i. . . .. - ,Kn; kA Aa , 4. u I p., (' COmer Ot thO hOUSe and peeled Off a UVI1 UUIUUCi I IUU UDilUII. YTCIlb tU Lilu I Doaru, maKing quue an opening, as tno bOUSe was a lO? One. In this room was the old colored man's daughter, i)iuue jonnson, asieep witn ner two A;j,.n tLn ; Qu. I children on either Bide of her. She, hearing the noise, raised up in bed. At this juncture one of the ruffians fired through the opening he had made, shot the young woman through the breast, producing a fatal wound, and she falling back, weltering in her own blood, died between her two children. The old gentle man (Mr. Thompson), was severely beaten; also his wife; and their son was mortally wounded. How sadl What a crime! Will the culprits be punished? Will they be hung? That is a problem, lou can t nnd a iurv in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred that will convict a white man for murdering a Negro. To deceive the Republicans of the North they will cry out, "Hang them! hang them! hang them! .Let not one of them es cape!" This is all a hoax. These rebels do not mean to punish a white mail for the Simple OffenSO Of killing two or three Negroes. Judging from ine Daners. ine mnaDiianis 01 tne im- i mediate vicinity are anxious that f , justice be meted out to them. Governor Colquitt, with the Gate City Guards, was sent for to prevent the friends of the prisoners from tak ing them out of jail. One fellow, who had turned btate S evidence, afterwara aemea wnai ne naa saia, aeclaring that he was frightened into it and had told what was not true for the truth. We shall wait and see what the result will be. If these three "K'8," as they are sometimes called, are acquitted, the colored people ought by all means to lynch every one of them. I have given you a sketch of the crime, and only a sketch. We will not dwell in this region long er.

Theme: "Goodness of the Lord." Prayermeeting was held every morning at 6 o'clock. Preaching three times each day. Every person on the ground seemed to feel that good was being done in the cause of religion. Sunday, the 15th, was the break ing up day. As early as 9: 30, long before the horn blew, crowds were seen wending their way to the tabernacle. At 10 a. m. long lines of carriages could be seen making their way to the camp ground. At 10:30 preaching began. An able sermon was preached by Itev. J. 11. Ulay. iheme: "iho Christian Race." At 3 r. M. services were again held, Rev. W. 0. Trevan preaching an excellent sermon.

There were two conversions and six accessions to the church. The receipts in all were $171.31. There were on the ground on the last Sunday at least 2,000 people. Lex. Potting Plants. A few nlants. nronerlv transplanted and afterward carefully attended to, afford far greater satisfaction to those who enjoy flowers than a larger number carelessly potted in lumpy, poor soil, and allowed to struggle along with little or no systematic care. Many persons so dislike to lose the garden bloom of their plants that they defer the transplanting until it is so cold they are glad to dump them into pots in almost any way. lhen they are too often treated to sunshine and shadow, water or drought, in a haphazard manner. Such care-takers of flowers are the ones who wonder whv they "have such poor luck with houseplants." Good luck with house plants is only insured by a reasonable amount of judicious treatment. In potting plants a cool, cloudy day is better; if it rains the plants bear their removal still better, particularly if left out of doors , until the sunshine appears; then put them in some cool, shady place for several days, keeping the earth in the pots from becoming dry. Heliotropes, lantanas and geraniums "desirable plants, even among a small collection are quite likely to wilt, and often diet unless great care is taken in transplanting. In potting a large heliotrope be sure the earth is damp enough to adhere to the roots. Have the pot sufficiently large to admit of bits of charcoal and lime very little lime for drainage. The sides of the pot should be well lined with rich soil, covering also the coarse material at the bottom; after putting the plant in, press the earth about it very closely, and set the pot into a tub containing several inches of water, and let it remain a few days; change the water or keep the temperature cool by putting in a lump of ice occasionally; then expose the p ant to the sunshine gradually. Heliotropes and other tender plants can be transplanted in this way with perfect success, not a leaf even wilting. ( Plants that have flowered very abundantly through the summer should be allowed a few weeks' rest after, transplanting and being cut back. Geraniums in general thrive best under very high living. Almost every shade from white to the deepest red is now grown. Six thrifty plants, if placed in a south or southwest window, ana their wants attended to, will be a ioy for the winter, at least. Wise people say very läge plants, geraniums, can be kept alive during the winter by hanging them stalks downward in the cellar, but my pets have come back to me dead after such treatment. The belter way is to pack them into a box in dirt and set them in the cellar in some dark place. Plaats generally do not receive sufficient nourishmentto enable them to bloom well through the winter. They should be doctored frequently, the earth stirred quite often, taking care not to disturb the little root-feeders, and watered reularlv, not when the midday sun is shining brightly upon them, either. Expe rience is ioe -only teacher in cultivating flowers, and the spasmodic care-taker has our deepest sympathy, for we were a great success in killirg every plant we had for years. We believe in the cult ure of house-plants, and yet we would not give up every nook and . corner for even a thrifty, beautiful plant. We don't recom mena ine home turned into a conservatory, with pots here, there and everywhere, scarcely leaving a pane of glass free for the family to look through, or be unable to draw the curtains to keep the curious from peering into the sanctity of the home circle. Fear of hypocrites and fools is the great est plague of tliinking and writing. F, Fanin. -
