T. J. SByes had a miraculous escape
from being lynched by a mob at Column
bus last summer. and who saved his life
only by his cool headedness, is now lying
at the city hospital at Columbus with his
left foot badly mashed. 1t win be re-
membered that some time last summer
and pretty soon after the two negroes
were lynched on Broad street in June,
Sykes was caught Ivy a mob Of Infatuated
citizens and had the rope around his neck
for a crime of which he was innocent.
The crime was an assault upon a little
white girl just above the city and Sykes
being pretty shabby looking at the time,
was taken for the fiend who attempted
the crime. He was carried before the
child and she identified him as the man
who assaulted her. Sykes displayed
very remarkable GOODNESS and presence Of
mind the whole time, and tried to reason
with his captors as to the possibility of
his being the wrong man. His arguments
were, so strong that they finally had some
weight with them and they, after the rope
had been placed about his neck, decided
to carry him to the sheriff and let the law
take its course. He was finally given
trial and the case was dismissed. Since
that time Sykes has been working for the
Southern. railway in the capacity of flag
man on freight train number 81. His train
was moving out Of Griffin Friday and i'm
mounting the cab of the engine. his foot
slipped and was caught 10y the moving
wheels, crushing it across the instep.
