Lebanon, the capital of Russell
county, has been in an uproar of ex-
element and terror forthe past week.
The torch las lighted the midnight
sky; tue horrors OF rae" war have
brought the death of misguided ne
groes; and Judge Lynch will give a
verdict to close the terrible tragedy.
Last Tuesday night some ladies no

the house of another negro. One OF
them notified her husband and he
went and extinguished the grease'
rags which had been fired and az
piled TO the house. Next day threats
were made to arrest the ncgress whom
suspicion singled out as the guilty
party, but there were no doubts OF
the identity. The accused scornfully
declared that Mayor Boswell would
not issue n warrant for her arrest, and
made some unfavorable illusions to
that gentlemen, who is editor OF the
lebanon News. In Il heated CONVEX

her down, and she VAS ordered to

Two negro men took her part and

out and the two negroes made
charge on them. They We're com

caught firing it and driven back ar
the point of Il pistol. She made her
escape for the time being, and the
whole town turned out to assist IN her
arrest. The men were armed TO the
teeth; the women were sleeplesss
expecting the houses to be burned
over their heads. There were
narrow escapes on the part OF la
dies going back and forth TO neigh

the fugitive. The neSress was so
closely hunted that she Invested her

A number Of other coiored people
