The negro turned and dod, but was oaught by the oi'ieers within a block from the scone of the tragedy and hurried to the police station with the mob in hot pursuit, temporarily diverted from tholr march to the county jail. Tho officers with their prisoner took refugo in the city building, barricading thomsolvos heh i nd the door of ono of the offices. They could not check tho '.mob, however, for it secured a long f>><\e and tried to battor down a sootion of tho wall and the door, both of which woro very timi. On account of tho overwhel ming number . of the. mob it waa useless for tho ofllcors to resist. The nogro waa j soirod and rm,bed to tho spot whore he had shot down Gatterman.

Tho mob is infuriated and threatens to lynch tho sherill' and his deputies, also tho nogro turnkey in tho jail. After scouring battering rams it took thom about half hour to wreck tho city prison, tho negro being found hid in a safo. Ho was pulled from tho safe, struck with sledges, knocked down, jumped upon and stamped to death. A ropo was placed about his neck and his lifoless body was dragged about three blocks.

Being Dona and Salo Southam io Build Through Rabun Gap. Th? following special from Knoxville, Tenn , will be of tnuob interest to th? people of thia section : The Sentinel says the Southern Kail way coropauy baa ordered a construction outfit sent at once to Maryville to he used In building the Kuhuu Oap exten sion of the Southern lu North Carolina. The work of excavating will begin Mon day or Tuesday of next week. The Southern ls proceeding cautiously in ita work and ls giving out nothing as to its movements. Tho L. A N. will uot Inter fere with the Snutberu in its plans to build the branch, though it has beeu reportod that it would do so. The reason of this is tbat the L. <& N. will confine its operations to threading the coal fields of East Tennessee and Ken tucky with brauoh lines, and will not push construction toward the tidewater uutil Its plans to enter all sections of the ooal field have been oompleted. The count i not ion outfit which will be sent to Maryville, is a large one. It is new, It being necessary for the oontraotor to buy a new outfit as others owned are being used at other points. The plan of the Southern to build the road through Kuluin Oap is not a new proposition. It la the only feasible outlet to the tide water for the coal and marble of thia section, and not until it ls built oan the Southern afford the low freight rates to Southeastern coast that is desired. On leaving Maryville the proposed route will be pursued. The old road three-quarters of a mile south of Maryville, will be followed, and then the route is that of the Alleghany road, leadiug direct ly to ward the mountains. This route passes the Nine mile station, and also another point known as the Four Mile stat'on, nineteen milos from Maryville. The survey meets tho Little Tennessee river. From this point it is 20 miles to the State line. Leaving the Cltioo oreok tho road will follow the tiver closely through the "george" for 20 miles, and it will bo necessary for the road to cross the river a number of timos on trestles. It is 20 milos from the State lino to Bushnell, N. C., whore the survey that has been made crosses tho Murphy branoh of the South ern that runs south from Asheville into Georgia. From Bushnell it is 10 miles to the Tallulah branoh of tho Southern. When the road has been completed the grade will bo tho lowest of any in the South, and especially of any that crosses tho Blue Uidgo. It will be one-half of one per cont, as far as Rabun Gap, and then tho grado ta eight-tenths of one per cent. In other words, tito grade to Rabun Gap will only bo twenty-six feet to the mile. The Southern has long felt the necessity of this road. To ahip coal via Asheville for Atlanta means a heavy grade and a largo trafilo oxpendituro, and the frc' ,ht rates are not as low as dosired. Tho proposed road would givo a low grado and consequently low ratos and an increasing business. It is the only direct route to tho t idewater and to Port Royal, which is ono of tho great est seaport towns in the South. It would be tho ooast outlet to tho extensive coal, marble and timber fields of this section." Through Rabun Oap at Last. Kuoxville, Tenn., July 2/5.-W. II. Wolla, chtof engineer of the Southern, to-day stated that work had begun thirty miles south of thia olty on tho const i oct ion of the Kainui Gap Exten sion of the Southern to tho Georgia line, and that in North Carolina a now com pany has boen chartered, wbioh is build ing toward Tennessee to the. Walhalla branch of the Southorn, to connect with the Kahun Gap. Tho new branoh will be 200 milos long and will givo loss than a one per cont grado to t ide-wat er. Battle for Rabun Gap. A special to the Atlanta Constitution from Knoxville says: "It now appears hore that tho South ern and Louisville & Nashville railroads aro to engage in a fight for the right of way through Rabun gap, the mountain pass on tho Georgia State liue that forma tho only practical route into South Caro lina on a direot line from Maryville, Tonn., to Walhalla, S. C. A corpa of engineeis of tho Southern Railway, headed by Chief of Construc tion W. ll. Wells, went out from Mary ville yesterday in tho direction of Rabun gap, and this coi ps is said to bo making a locating survey. Tho report is current boro that tho Louisville & Nashville has already made a survey through tho gap from the east ern sido of tho mountains. The next move that is expected is that const ruc tion forces will bo put into tho field, and perhaps a battle for possession of the gap will bo inaugurated by tho two rail roads). Tho Southern has for many months boen talking about building through Rabun gap, and now it ia believed tho line is assured. KIDNEY DISEASES are the most fatal of all dis eases.

In September, 1001, Mr. Darnall pur chased a tioket at Easley for Soneca, but for somo reason tho tioket was not utied on tho day of its purchase On tho 23d of Inst April Mr. Darnall was going from Easley to Seneca, and in pay meut of bis faro tendered tho tiokot that had boen purchased about eighteen months pre viously. Tho conductor refused to ao oopt it, saying that it was out of date. Mr. Dagnall refused to pay his fare and ho was told that he would havo to leave the tram. When tho train reached Lib erty Mr. Dagnall walked out of the car and on to the steps, but would go no further until the conductor took him by the arm and helped him off the car. Mr. Dagnall is a practicing lawyer at Andor Bon and is a son of the Hov. R. R. Dag nall, of Fountain Inn. Mr. Dagnall brought suit against the railway com pany for $1,990.99 for being foroibly' ojooted from the train. Tribblo .V Prinou and McCullough & MoSwttin aro repre senting tho plaintiff, while Messrs. A. IL Dean aud T. P. Cotbran are the attor neys for the d?fendants. Some time ago tho Supreme Court of South Carolina decided that a railway ticket was good until it was used, regardless of the date of purchase. The oase is an interesting ono and tho lund outcome will be wat eh ed with interese. The jury returned a verdict of $1,200 in favor of the plaintiff, and tho defendant's counsel entered a motion for a new trial, whioh will be argued noxt weok. Le^al Advertisements.
