figures to show that the annual
per-capita consumption of manufactured
tobacco in this country, on a
basis of 65,000,000 population, is five
and one-third pounds, costing not less
than $5 at retail. No other country
approaches the United States in the
amount and value of tobacco consumed
per capita.

Woods, and others were addressing the
crowd, Sergeant Griffin with two officers
took the negro from Uie jail and spirited
Lira out of town. Whey carried him
across the river into the woods but towards
daylight they were notified that
squads of mcu were scouring the entire
adjacent country. They thought it best
to bring their prisoner back to town and
place him in jail. They were proceeding
to the jail and on Franklin road, near
Tenth avanuc, a squad of men about (
20 in number, rushed upon them and (
tho prisoner. With shouts and yells, the ,
determined men rushed the negro to t he
nearest tree. He was hanged to a hickory
limb and his body riddled with bullets
and horribly mangled, and the small
body of men who did the work dispersed.
With the break of day crowds of people
began to throng the streets leading to
the f cenc ofjthe latest tradgedv in this terrible
drama. The negro's face was bloody
and swollen. A load of shot had been
fired into his back, literally tearing his
coat to pioces. Coroner Gray and a jury
repaired early to the scene of the lynching
and after viewing the body of the
dead man rendered verdict that the negro
came to death at the hands of persons
unknown to them.
After the inquest the officers were ordered
to take charge of the body, but the
surging mass of avcDging men which
had by this time assembled would not let
them touch him. A coal cart passing
near by was pressed into service, and the
body was thrown into it. It was then
hauled iu Mayor Trout's residence on
Campbell avenue, it seeming to bo the intention
of the mob to bury it in his front

He was positive that four bottles would

the examination that Broddy, ju-t

said that he had labelled bottles of lager

to be sold as non-intoxicating
when Atlanta was dry, and that they are
