Nashville, Tenn., June 30.?A special to The Banker from Scottsboro, Ala., eaye Andrew Dlggs, a negro, was tak- | en rrom the Jail last night anil hanged by a mob. The negro was arrested Sunday for an attempt to criminally assault Miss Alma, the 19-year-old daughter of Dr. B. B. Smith, and the first that Sheriff Austin knew of the mob was when it put in an appearance In the hallway of the jail. Tli/e sheriff seized two pistols an J mountains the stairs said ho would kill any one that attempted to oomo up. Tho throat was mot with a volley, and the sheriff emptied his revolver in reply. Before he could reload he was shot down. One shot took effect In his right leg and the other in his pistol arm. thereby disabling him. The daughter of tbo sheriff ran to her father and was as onco covered by a pistol In the hands of a member of the mob and made to deliver the keys to the cell In which tho negro was immured. Tho cell was quickly unlocked and the trembling negro was led out with a halter. He was marched to & piace in the west eiuLof the town, where the other end ?f the rope was thrown over a crossarm of a telegraph pole and the nogro was drawn up. The telephone wires were cut so as to prevent calling for aid, and ono of the masked men went across the square and summoned a doctor who responded promptly and dressed the wounds of the sheriff. Sheriff Austin had no Intimation of the intended lynching and made no preparations to put on extra guards. The lynching was so quietly conducted that only a few people knew of the approach of the mob or the hanging until they went down town this morning. The body was cut down and burled today, and there Is very little excitement.

Columbus, Ga., Juno 30.?John Cash. & white man about JO years old, was probably fatally shot by Henry White, a negro, at a nogro church 8 miles west of Hamilton, near Five Points, In Harris county. Cash went to the church drunk, and began raising a disturbance, when White shot him seven times with a pistol, nearly all the bullets taking effect. The negro congregation became greatly excited and it is said that something like 500 shots were fired, although Cash was the only person inJurod so far as reported. It is a singular coincidence that White's father, Henry White, Sr., once killed a white man. It is said, that the white man was one of a party try ing to whiteeap him. STRIKE AT CHARLESTON, S. C.
