Coal Mining from River Bottom.
With from fifty to sixty tons of
coal being taken from the river at
F.spy and Almedia every day the
business of dredging for coal has
become an important one and one
which means much to the residents
of those towns. Fourteen teams
are regularly employed to haul the
coal from the river bank to various
industries, which use a large per
centage of the coal in their fur
naces. The beds of coal in the bottom of
the river at Kspy and Almedia vary
in thickness from six inches to
three feet, and is easily gotten by
means of the coal dredges which
are owned by Dent & Sharpless,
and by Mr. I luff man.
The work is not confined to the
coal dredges, but many individual
families are securing enough for
their own use by means of a row
boat and rakes or by wading into
the water and shoveling it from the
bottom of the stream. One man
has already secured twenty tons by
this means.
Swimming
in Eden's Clothes
Means Arrest.
Now
Chief of Police Baum hereby
serves notice on all so inclined that
bathing without tights will hereaf
ter be tabooed and arrests will fol
low every violator who is caught.
Officers whose duty it will be to
make arrests will be on the job and
nothing will suit the general public
better than to have a few boys aud
men who seem to be altogether
bereft of decency, placed under ar
rest. Fassengers on the Danville
trolley are compelled to witness the
sight of men bathing without a
semblance of covering, while it is
not infrequent that young ladies
passing along the back creek road
are insulted by youths bathing "at
the logs." The situation and
common decency requires a little
activity on the part of the police
force. Get busy and make arrests,
and plenty of them, if necessary.

Cleaning Silk Fabrics.
"Silk of any kind or color may
be cleaned in the following man
ner," says Woman's Home Compan
ion for July. "For every quart of
water to be used in washing a dress,
pare and grate one large potato.
Put the grated potatoes into the
water,' which must be cold andsoft;
let stand two days without being
disturbed in any way, then very
carefully pour off the clear liquid
from the sediment into a large, con
venient vessel, into which dip the
pieces of sijk up and down.
"Of course, the silk must not be
creased by wringing; let it hang
and drip nearly dry, then lay it flat
on the table, and wipe it first an
one side and then on the other. If
necessary to press it, do so between
flannel with a moderate iron."

The "God-With-Us" Cure lor Human
Ills.
Rev. Dr. Robert MacDonald tells
in the July Woman's Home Compan
ion how the church is once more
becoming active in the cure of hu
man ills. Through the "Kmnian
uel Movement," started at Etn
manuel Episcopal Church in Boston
and taken up by Doctor MacDonald
in his own church in Brooklyn, the
church is again saying, "Arise, take
up thy bed and walk."
"The complaint is going up from
everywhere," says Doctor MacDon
ald, "that the church is losing its
hold on practical men and women.
The reason is not that the church
is not faithful to its duty, but that
the world has increased its facilities
to satisfy man But here is a new
way of reaching the man of the
world. His modern way of living,
with all its hurry and worry, has
gotten onto his nerves. He sleeps
poorly, is depressed and melancholy,
has nervous breakdowns, is dyspep
tic and sluggish and miserable.
The same man who will not listen
to a purely spiritual appeal wants
help, ami wants it bjdly. The
church that can promise him health
with which to do his work, wins
him. His bodily pain is very real
to him, for it is so much nearer
than a cramped and dormant spirit
of which he is not conscious
"Where does the Emmanuel
Movement differ from Christian Sci
ence ? There can be said to be
only one point of similarity. It is
that both are desirous of getting
rid of disease. But they do no
sooner join issue than they disa
gree. The point of separation is
in what constitutes curable and in
curable malady. The Kmnianuel
Movement treats only 'functional
disorders of the nervous system.'
Christian Science does not distin
guish between functional and or
ganic diseases. Then, again, the
Kmnianuel Movement works hand
in hand with physicians, taking
only such cases as they recommend,
cases that are beyond the reach of
drugs and the ordinary medical
prescription."

Wholesale KI!Kng Follows Murder
or White Man at Hemphill Texas.
Houston, Texas, June 25. Nino
negroes have been killed in a race
war in Sabine County, and an or
ganized baud of 150 whites have de
fied the authorities and threatened
to exterminate blacks if there Is any
attempt at reprisal. Five of tho
negroes were hanged from the limb
of a tree and four were shot. The
bodies of two were thrown Into a
ditch, the body of another was car
ried and left at the gate of a man
Me had threatened. The eut:re
negro population is In state of ter
ror, and many hundreds have fled
the county.
The outbreak Is the worst In the
history of the State, and had lta
start with the murder of Hugh Dean,
a prosperous young farmer, two
weeks ago. Dean was killed in a
negro church. Prohibition is the
law In Sabine county, but there aro
negroes who sell liquor under cover
of the church. Dean had gona to
the church to buy whiskey and a full
bottlo was found In 'his hand. Tliero
was a crowded congregation and the
man was shot down in the aisle. Tho
men and women filed out and did not
make known the murder. A search
ing party found the body the follow
ing morning.
An Investigation was begun an1
on the testimony of several blacks
that tho murder had been plotted
In a school house, 100 yards from
the church, Frank Williams, Jerry
F.vans, Will Johnson, Mose Spe;l
nian. Clever Williams and Will
Manuel were arrested and locked la
the county Jail In Hemphill. Strong
testimony was given against the ineu
at a preliminary hearing, and at a
secret meeting of the white on
Friday night it was decided to lynch
the six men.
The six negroes wero stood In line
below a thick limb reaching almost
across the road a mile from the jail.
It had been planned to string up all
together. Six ropes had been
thrown over the limb, and groups
of men were ready to swing the ne
groes off their feet. Just when tho
order was given to tighten the ropea
Frank Williams made a break for
liberty.
The tuan was permitted to go
nbout 200 yards. Then tho mob,
bursting into cheers, began shooting
with rllles. More than fifty shots
were fired and Williams went down
with his, body pierced by a dozen liul-l.-ts.
Shots were fired at the ho ly
in the road and a bullet went
through the sole of the right foot
and plowed up the leg. Tho body
was left where it fell nnd the mob
turned to tho executions. Tho
men were hanged without delay, auj
i'-tl....ds were rtstralnod from firing
into the bodies.
