Tyler was arrested at Springfield yes tsrdsy. snd placed In the town guard house Sheriff Salby was at once notified and left hers for Springfield, to bring Tyler to jail. Aftsr srrlving at Springfield and In attempting to take Tyler from the lock-up to a waiting automobile, the sheriff was opposed In his ienlgns by a large mob, which seemed bent on lynching the prisoner, and for a time the town was threatened with a gen- | eral race riot. However. Sheriff Salley was deter? mined to carry out his plans and pre ?eat ths nsgro'a Ufs being taken, if possible, and aftsr a strenuous time was successful, but not before some member of ths mob fired at Tyler, whlls being transferred to the auto? mobile, the buhst striking him In the body, producing a wound which is and to be serious aid may result fa? tally.

I News and Courier, Oct. j Considerable excitement was caus? ed on King street last night when Policeman McDonald was roughly handhd hy a number of young white men In the Royal Pon?'iunu Cigar | <tore ufu-r h?- had arrested one of : their number for blocking the side? walk. McDonald was compelled to draw his revolver to defend him- , self and Policeman Dantsler. who came to his assistance, was also forced j into drawing his gun to put an end i to the trouble. Only one person, J. H. Smith, was arrested. hTc affair had its real beginning a i week or more ago when Chief Boyle made up his mind to keep King street j unobstructed by groups of young men, I who, he declared, stood for hours at a time at certain spota on the side? walk, blockading the passage. Chief Boyle gave very explicit Instructions 0 his men to put an end to this prao- j ;lce, and at the time the chief declar? ed that he would arrest all persons breaking the city ordinance, no mat? ter how many there were. For several days after the order was issued, and after it was given , publicity, conditions on King street improved. But the young men began 'gain to congregate on the sidewalks In groups of three or four, and to make It unpleasant for those who had to pass, particularly for the wo? men, who. it is said, were often forc? ed to take to the street In order to get by. Last night Policeman McDonald, according to his story, noticed a large group of young men in front of the Royal Ponlcisna Cigar Store, who, though they were orderly, were blocking the sidewalk. McDonald, 1 according to an eyewitness, went over to the young men and asked them twice not to stand In groups on the sidewalk, explaining to them that it was against the rules and telling them that he would have to arrest them for It. The boys crowded into the entrance of the Ponclana, It is ssjfd nnd v thyrratd WaTWPd fib to ass. no 'e op (fee itPSSj ngairi. A frr-oip .?t '?n< ? stepp o >t ond ?he poll center seized J. P.

A general scuffle ensued, snd the fight soon found its way into the cigar store. One who witnessed the whole af? fair declared that when McDonald got Into the store a large number of young men jump* d on him and be? gan to beat him, taking his club away from him and knocking his helmet from his head. McDonald evidently felt himself to be In danger and as soon as he could free himself he drew his revolver. Policeman Dantz ler then arrived from the next post and also had to drew his revolver. Most of the boys. It is said, then made fheir escape, though the police? men succeeded in arresting Smith. Smith was taken to the Police sfat!on and lodged on a charge of blockading the sidewalk, refusing to ! move when ordered to do so. resisting arrest and assaulting an offleer. The affair caused the greatest ex ! dement on King street and a large 1 crowd collected around the cigar I ?r'ore. Tt is said that chairs wore j overturned In the store and that the I place presented a scene of wild dis? order. Tt Is said that a number of young men In the place at the time were college students.

It Is presumed that she | received the name Esther, which signi? fies a Htar, because of her beauty, ilisb tar being the Chaldaie equivalent for Venus. She succeeded Vaslitl. the for mer queen, who had displeased the king and been dlvor* ed. In the opposite course of thise two queens we find n lesson bearing ou the Suffragette question of to? day. The king had a banquet with the lords of his empire. It may be assumed that it was a revel, and that the king and tibi guests, at the height of the rev? el, were more or less under the Influence of wine. Giv? ing Queen Vashtl the benefit of the doubt, this was probably her reason for ignoring the king's request that she come into the banquet garden. Many will say that she did Just right In asserting her womanhood. In "stand? ing up for her rights," etc. We will not dispute that all women have rights, and that Queen Vashtl had hers and that she exercised tbem. We merely offer the suggestion that In s question of "lights," along lines of force and compulsion. Queen Vashtl won a vic? tory which cost ber dearly. In Queen Esther's procedure, which is the sub? ject of this lesson, we see the opposite course pursued?tb* queen won a great victory with hapi.., results by a totally different method, and one which in our judgment recommends Itself to the wisest and best of men and women. While we recognize the fact that spiritual New Creatures In Christ are not esteemed of God on account of pedigree, station or sex. that "there is neither male nor female" In Christ Jesus, still it Is true that, as the Scrip? ture declare "Men Is the hesd o* the woman." und the is the "helpmeet lor him.'* Sec Gemeeli ii 18; i Corinthians xl. 3; ItphsOUnx *. 28-38 Esther Stooptv For Victory.

She accepted her accession as of Di? vine providence. She clothed herself with humility and with the most be? coming of ber flue apparel. She made herself as agreeable to the king as pos? sible. Hainan, the king's favorite, took a dislike to the gate-keeper of the pal? ace, Mordecai. a Jew. because the lat? ter did not bow before bim. as did oth? ers. Mordecai was so faithful that Haman could not hepe to find a fault with him. and thus to cause his remov? al. His hatred extended to the entire Jewish race. He prevailed upon the king to issue a decree that all the Jews of his kingdom should be set upon and killed, as enemies of the country. This, of course, would Include Mordecai, his special enemy, whom be would then feel free to kill. As the time for the enforcement of the decree drew nearer and nearer. Mordecai and all the Jews throughout the empire were in great distress and fear, yet not without hope that their God would work for them some deliv? erance. Queen Esther was cousin to Mor? decai although the latter was old enough to be ber father. She was, in deed, his adopt? ed daughter. He appealed to her to use the influ? ence of her po? sition to have the king rescind the order, as? suring her that she was about to lose a great privilege of service for ber people; that God evidently raised her to this po? sition in the kingdom for this very hour and for this very purpose of bringing to the Jews relief and tl if she failed to note and to use t privilege, God doubtless would some other agency and still brill Hrerance In harmony with His u ls? s The appeal was sufficient qUOefl merely delayed for three din more, requesting that Mordecai and Sil the Jews of the royal city should Join with her In n three days' fast bo fore God Love end Besuty Conquered.
