Knapn, convicted of the mu rd er of

was electrocuted in the aunes of the
Ohio penitentiary a few minutes after
midnight. Knapp, who weakened
when he found hie last hope for life

tion. The electrocution was .perform?
ed without a hitch, the first shock be?
ing applied at 12.02, the seconda
minute later, an *d 12.09 he was pro?
nounced dead. *

Two Negro Murderers tinder Sen?

UM FRBnTOFFlCERS AHB E?UBHEO
Another Horrible and Needless
Crime by the Mob Fiend.
; Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 16.-With
clothing saturated with kerosene,
writhing and twisting in their agony,
screaming to heaven for the mercy
that the mob would not show, Paul
Reed and Will Cato, negroes, two cf
the principals'in the dastardly murder
and burning of Henry Hodges and
wife and three children, six miles from
Statesboro three weeks ago, were
burned at the stake today.
This afternoon at 1.21 o'clock a de?
termined mob charged upon the court
house, overpowered the = ^military
guard, secured Cato and: Reed, who
had been found guilty after a legal
trial and sentenced to be hanged, took
them twp miles from Statesboro,
and there exacted the fearful penalty.
The forenoon passed quietly, the
trial of Paul Reed, the ringleader in
the murder, ; being concluded and a j
verdict of guilty rendered. Sentence
was imposed upon both him and Will
Cato, sentenced the day before, and
September 9 was fixed as the date for ;
the execution.
Up to the noon hour there was no
intimation thax so soon was to be en- j
acted the terrible climax. In the
trial of Reed little delay was caused
and upon its conclusion the prisoners,
as before, were hustled into the wit?
ness., room where a strong guard of
military was mounted over them.
Shortly afterwards the mob about
200 strong overpowered the guards,
who were not permitted to load their
guns and were outnumbered the prison?
ers seized and taken to' the place
where they were put to death with a
cruelty that beggars description,
j ?_
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 17.-Handy
Bell, another of the negroes implicat
I ed in the Hodges murder is reported
! to have been burned at stake at States
! boro by the mob last night.
Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 17.-Business
in Statesboro has resumed somewhat
its normal state today, but the law?
lessness that prevailed within the
town limits yesterday had pervaded
the country districts ?nd men are re?
ported as roamingt the country at large
whipping negroes wherever found who
are thought to be in any way impli?
cated by deed or word of mouth in the
"Beforeday" club of organized mur?
derers. Negroes are now reported
sleeping in the woods, while from
along the line of railroads come re
I ports of many boarding trains for
i other points. The danger of the
! whites of Bulleen county now lies
more in the large deportation of labor
; and consequent effect on the cotton
j picking season than from any other
cause.
Roving bands of inflamed whites
j were out last night and during the
j early morning hours seeking ven?
geance on the negroes and several seri?
ous affairs are reported as the result.
One negro, said to be Handy Bell,
was reported shot to pieces, but par?
ties who knew Bell viewed the re?
mains and declared it was not Bell.
Albert Roberts, au old negro living
near Register, and his son were shot
while sitting peacefully in their cabin
last night and seriously wounded.
Robert was a peaceful citizen and his
white neighbors near Register are
greatly incensed over the shooting. Z
4 All Night Clubs,' consisting mostly
of white men wose minds are if nflam
ed, are reported organized in varions
sections of the county for the purpose
of whipping negroes, and these re?
ports add to the general fear over the
situation.
Rev. Stubbs, pastor of the Hard?
shell Baptist church, with a rumber
of members from among prominent
citizens, has called a meeting of the
elders with the avowed intention of
having expelled all members who par?
ticipated in the burning of Cato and
Reed.
In explaining today why Handy Bell
and the other prisoners were released
after Reed and Cato implicated them
in the Hodges murder, Se ri ff Kend?
rick said :
"I got my orders from the judge and
turned them loose as he stated that
their testimony was not sufficient to
hold the witnesses/'
'Sheriff Kendrick denied a report gen?
erally circulated that one of bis dep?
uties assisted in overpowering the
guards .yesterday. Capt. Hitch and
others of the soldiers maintain its
truth in official report?.
Latest accounts indicate that Handy
Bell bfts escaped so far although he
was followed oat of town lsst night,
captured and only released after vow?
ing when the rope was placed around
his neck that he was innocent of the
j crime.
There seems to be no fear cf punish?
ment on the minds of these who parti?
cipated in the burning ot Reed and
Cato, and all connected with it talk
freely of their part.
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 1.-The situa?
tion at Statesboro is still quite serious.
Report? are coming ?n from all part?
of the county of promiscuous whip?
ping and shooting of negroes. The
blacks are thoroughly terrorized and
it is impossible to predict the out?
come. lt will be several days before
the situation can quiet down. Whip?
pings -eem to be general and many
negroes are leaving the county. A
number of organizations have been
formed by wa i re.? throughout Bulloc ii
county with avowed purpose of driv?
ing bad negroes out of community.
This will probably lead to further
bloodshed.
A message from Statesboro says the
charred remains of one negro who had
been lynched, was' placed in a box
and addressed to President Roosevelt
with a note saying: " You'll never eat
with this nigger.
Level headed men went to the ex?
press office, however, and took the box
out and the president j won't receive
the gruesome relic.
Governor Terrell has been officially
notified of the name of the leader of
Tuesday's mob.
DEPUTIES AIDED LYNCHERS.
Savannah Militia Say They Were
in Collusion With the Mob who
Captured the Negroes.
Savannah, Ga, Aug. 17.-Tonight
all the Savannah troops returned from
Statesboro. Among those who had
been on gteard at the court house when
the assault was made were a number
who bore bruises and marks of the
::ray. None of these, however, were
serious.
Capt. Robert M. Hitch, who com?
manded the troops on guard and for
the relief of which 200 men were sent
from here this afternoon, .would make
no statement, stating that he would
report to the proper authorities. He
has. made out such a report for the
adjutant general.
The soldiers, however, accuse the
deputy sheriffs of collusion with the
lynchera In fact, they declare that
the deputies openly aided the lynchers
in overpowering the soldiers. It is
said that one powerful deputy seized
Capt. Hitch and hustled him down a
stairway to the lawn outside, where
his sword and pistol were taken away
from him. When Capt. Hitch made
his way back upstairs the prisoners had
been hustled away.
Many soldiers declare that the depu?
ties, who had been free to pass here
and there among them., seized them
unexpectedly.
Reports from Statesboro deny this.
Those who assaulted the soldiers,
the reports declare, were not deputies.
Lieut. McCully Has Left Port Ar?

Prosperity in South Carolina.
The News and Courier has received
from its fine corps of corresi>ondents
carefully prepared statements about
the condition of the crops in South
Carolina which are printed today.
The recent heavy rains have injured
the cotton crop considerably in some
of the counties, and the early spring
drought affected somewhat the yield
of corn in certain neighborhoods,1 but
the general agricultural condition in
the State was never more encourag?
ing titan it is at present, and it ap?
pears to te certain that more than an
average crop of cotton will be produced
this year, and that the cern crop will
be ono of the largest ever grown in
the State.
The farmers are in better condition
than they have been for years, the
rise in the price of cotton last year en?
abling many of them to pay old stand?
ing debts. The tobacco crop will be
smaller this year than last, owing to a
reduced acreage, but the prioe will be
botter, and the xesnlt from this crop
more satisfactory. The reports from
many of the counties show the increas?
ing value of clay lands for farming
purposes and a general improvement
in the methods ot cultivation employ?
ed .??.nd in the better living of the
farmers.
There has been a very gratifying im?
provement ot the general industrial
prosperity of the State. With an abun?
dance of bread and meat and a large
crop of cotton and steady advancement
in industrial enterprise, the people of
South Carolina can look ont on the
world happy in the thought that there
is no State like South Carolina. Pros?
perity on the farm means prosperity
in the towns and villages and every?
where. Next year, with the election
of a Democratic President, the con?
ditions will be even better than they
are now.-News and Courier.

DAVIS NOTIFIED A?
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS.
John Sharpe Williams Makes a
Lengthy Address, But Mr. Da?
vis Speaks Briefly and to
the Point.
White Sulphur Spring?, W. Va.,
Aug. 17.-John Sharpe Williams, of
Mississippi, today, used six thousand
words to let Senator Henery G. Davis,
of West Virginia know that the demo?
crats of the United States had honor?
ed him with the nomination for the
Vice Presidency. Mr. Davis needed
only 2,000 words to accept the nomina?
tion and tell the contvention that he
endorsed the platform and the Presi?
dential candidate and to present his
views. The ceremony attending the
event was extremely simple, but full
of interest. It took place shortly
after 1 o'clock this afternoon in a
natural ampitheatre of stones thrown
up in front of the famous old Greeu
bieer Hotel, where majestic oaks
shaded the speakers stand. The stand
was decorated with patriotic colors for
the occasion and thousands of men and
.women /stood about on the green ap?
plauding the sentiments of the speak?
ers. Those of national importance in
the party who were present were Perry
Belmont, of New York, John 1. Mar?
tin, Senator Daniel, of Virginia, Na?
tional Committeeman Morris, of the
District of Columbia, members of the
notification committee and a half
dozen others who had places on the
speakers stand. The weather was
ideal, with glorious sunshine.
Mr. Williams begai^ by formally
notifying Mr. Davis of his nomination
and felicitously expressed the pleas?
ure felt by himself and the committee
at their task.
He said he would entitle his ad?
dress: "A brief historical disquisition
upon some blunders of our ancestors,
as viewed from the standpoint of the
wisdom of republican statesmen who
have embraced the strenuous life."
The ' speech was in a sarcastic strain
throughout. He said the first of these
"Blunders" consisted in discriminat?
ing against the red man, the next
blunder consisted in taking up arms
against King George. All are remind?
ed of another blunder of our ancestors,
both under the common law of Great
Britin and the United Staes, they
seem to have entertained the notion
that combinations injrestraint of trade,
seeking a monopoly, or throttling com?
petition, are in some way adverse to
the development of individuality.
Referring to the president's foreign
policy Mr. Williams said, "What a
queer old-time, childish idea was that
of our ancestors that the president of
the United States is simply the chief
executive and that his duty consists
in executing the laws as they are
written."
Mr. Davis in reply said in part:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee:
The official notification which you
bring of my nomination for the Vice
Presidency gives me a feeling of the
sincerest gratitude to my party for the
honor conferred.
A spirit of detsrmination to suc?
ceed in the campaign before us ap?
pears to pervade the rank and file of
our party in all sections of the coun?
ty. Of that rank and file I h ve for
many years been a member and have
at ail times devoted my humble pow?
ers to party success, believing that
success to be for the country's good.
I find it, therefore, a great pleas?
ure, standing here upon the boderland
of the two Virginias, to receive and
accept the commission you bear, to
send geetings though you to the de?
mocracy of the entire country.
As introductory to the few remarks I
shall make, I desire to say that
I heartly endorse the platform upon
which I have been nominated and
with the Convention and its nominee
for President, regard the present mon?
etary standard of value as irrevocably
established.
He then referred to the extravagant
I claims the Republicans have made and
i are making to the credit for the pros?
perity of the country. He show?
ed hov. the prosperity that we
have had was due to natural condi?
tions and the economical administra?
tion of the Democrats when in power.
He proved by the records that the
wasteful extravagnace of the Republi?
cans had more than once created an
enormous deficit in the treasury and
hard times throughout the country.
He also severely critised the Presi?
dent for asserting that the Republican
party had been a consistent advocate of
the gold standard and quoted from
Republican platforms in proof of their
crooked record on the monetary issue.
Near the conclusion of his remarks
he said :
"With a candidate whose personal?
ity appeals to the good sense and
sound judgment of the Ameerican peo?
ple, a platform whose principles are
for the greatest good to the greatest
number, and a reuniteed party earn?
est for the restoration of good and
I economical government, we should
succeed and the principles of demo?
cracy again triumph.
I beg my countrymen, as thry value
their libery, to guard with great care
the sacred right of local self govern?
ment, and to watch witli a jealous eye
the tendency of tho times to centralize
power in the hands of the few."
