GREENVILLE NEGROES ATTEMPT JAIL DELIVERY Attempt of Twenty to Escape Thwart ed by Two Keepers in Courageous Manner... Greenville, July 23.?An organized attempt of twenty negroes to effect a general jail delivery was thwarted at the Greenville County jail this morning. When Keepers Batson and Black stepped inside the door of the ward where the negro men are kept they were attacked by two negroes, who jumped from their cells just as the keepers unlocked the deor. Keeper Batson floored the negro who attacked him with a blow to the stomach and Keeper Black managed to push the negro who attacked him back to his cell door and to hold him there while Keeper Batson locked the door. In the meantime Jailer Christopher, who was armed arrived on the scene and the attempted delivery was put down. The twenty negroes in the ward had picked the two negroes who attacked the keepers to pave the way for the delivery. Another attempt at escape from the Greenville jail was discovered yesterday when a large hole was found dug out half-way through the thick wall of the upper story. It had been made by Mrs. A. H. All1'son, alleged "dope" peddler, and a negro woman, who was acting as her nurse during a spell of sickness. The two had used crude instruments and an electric iron to drill the hole, and had covered up their work with a dry goods box pnd bed clothes. They would have had the hole through the wall and would have effected their escape in the course of a few more hours. vii n*.

"This beats the parks," one 0/ the the men told him. "The accommodations are swell. It's not so hot and not so noisy as on the ground and besides it's a little more exclusive and uncommon."The detective took a look over the roofs of the other skyscrapers and found the same conditions prevail. "If it's exclusiveness you fellows want,"" he told them, "I know a slick little room over at the centra! station." The exodus to the parks has begun again.
