LYNCHING OF THREE]
A Very Deplorable Matter Occurs in a |
Georgia Town j r
] t
TRAGIC EVENT WAS UNEXPECTED | J
O j
Three Negroes Lynched For n Killing j
Where the Condition of the riur- j i
dered Alan's Family Was Consider- 1
ed By the Hob.
J I
Macon, (la.. Special.?An Albany) t
dispatch to the Telegraph says: ! i
"linker Comity was the scene of a t
tripple lynching about 'J o'clock !-"i i- ,
day morning win n a mob of 50 do- i
term! tied men entered the town of ,
Newton and secured possession ,
of (la: tie hi McCoy. \\ Hey Anette .
and (leorge M< Kinney, Miller County
negroes who had hcen arrested and i ,
l J
lodged in jaii for the mu:\lci* last Sat < .
urday r.ight of F. S. Hullard. pnr.nl- I ,
' I
nent white farm r of the seventh dis- | |
trict of Baker County. The manner i
in which the prisoners were obtained j (
is unique and altogether without pre- ' .
cedent. Jailer Wm. Screws who re- I
sides in the Jail, was awakened about I
12 o'clock by Bailiff U. C. Tucker, who 1
stated that he had a prisoner to place '
in the lock-en. The jailer hastily 1
donned his clothes and proceeded to I
the jail. As soon as he had i
unlocked the prison door lie was i <
suddenly surrounded hy a swarm of i
men with drawn revolvers, who do- j ;
mended that he unlock the cell in j
which the negroes were lodged. He | \
did as commanded under protest, and j ?
the three negroes were dragged from <
the jail, the prisoner or Tucker mak- <
ing his escape ouring the excitement, i
Their appeals for mercy was lost on
the mob, who began beating and i t
"Japping them as soon as they had I <
left the jail door. ; !
"The moli lost no time In leaving (
Newton with the n groes and when ;
a mile from town the three men were
halted. nnnsPK tl.-l i.-.i
and. amid tin* shouts of the men. were
strung up. The moh fired several 1
hundred shots into the swaying hod- | 1
ies after which they quietly dispersed, j (
"The crime for which the negroes :
were lynched occurred on-the planta- i .
tion of Bullard last Saturday night ! '
during the progress of a dame given '
by one of Bollard's tenants.' Negroes I
from Early. Miller and Decatur conn- 1
ties were present, and trouble was :
started hv MrKinney and the others >
putting out the lights. Just at this '
juncture Bullard appeared on the t
scene and commanded order. His in- i '
terference was resented by the three j*
negroes who opened fire on him with 1
revolvers. Bullard fell mortally ' 1
wounded and died on Tuesday. * 1
"Tiie negroes were arrested Tues- n
day and lodged in jail at Newton. At , (
their eoinmitment trial it was proven 1
that the shot that killed Bullard was |
fired by McKinnoy, and that Anetto I
and McCoy also fired at him. The no j
groen wt re remanded to jail to await 11
trial at the next session of Baker Su '
peiior Court, and absolutely no talk .
of lynching was indulged in by < iti- (
zons. it is th<- consensus of opinion
that the work of the moh was largely
due to the fact that Bollard's family is '
left in a sad condition, his wife b ing la
a hopeless invalid and several small ! j
children are dependent. The lynching
was a great surprise to the people
of the county, as it was gcnorally be
lieved that the law would he allowed | ]
to take its course in their eases t:>?.
lynching is g ncrally depluted."
Railroad Agent Shot.
Oold:%oro. N. C.. Special.? A shooting
occurred at Dudley station Friday
nine miles south of Goblsbo.o. <\ A. i v
Spruill. a railroad agent, attempted to In
thrash J. M. it. Fields, wli > shot ' i
Spruill in the abdomen. Fields fired { ,
four shots, < ne of them striking J. | (l
Korncgty, an innocent spectator, in ii,
the arm. Mr. Spruill was carried to r
Rocky Mount on the noon train to ie- y
ceive medical attention. His wound is r,
a serious one. Spruill claims thai p
Fields had been lying about him. js
Fields in under arrest. It is later re- t>
ported that a woman is the cause of w
the trouble. t<
Agreement In Sight.
Birmingham, Ala., Special.?A set- _
? r
tlement on a wage scale between op- ^
crators and miners is now in sight. The ,,
operators have made an offer of 2Vj v
cents per ton on both the maximum h
and minimum wage scales of the ?
miners, with a corresponding inciease
In day labor and night work. The only t,
difference in the present scale is that
iron at. $12 is made the basis instead of
$11. The miners went into executive
session after receiving the offer to dis- (i
cuss the same and there are probabili- Tl
tics that it will bo accepted with some k
minor changes. 11
