NEGRO HANGING
 FROM A LIMB Summary Punishment Meted Out
 to Joe White. WAS HID UNDER THE BED In the Residence of R. L. Studer, and Said That He Intended to Commit Murder and Robbery-Wa
 Taken in Hand by Mob.

Selma. November -(Special.)-Word reached this city today Of the lynching o1 a negro just across the Dallas county line in Autauga, which happened Thursday night. The scene of the occurrence was near Jones Switch, which is about seven- teen miles from Selma. Wednesday night MT. and Mrs. R. L. Strider, the former a well-known mercnant of Jones Switch, started to retire at their usual hour. MT. Strider was sitting in a chair in front of the fire, while his wife started to turn down the covering of the bed. In doing so her foot struck something under the bed, and she turned to her husband and told him that a cat or dog was under the bed, and to run it out. MT. Strider arose and started for the bed, when, to the amazement of both, big burly negro hastily crawled from beneath the bed and made break for the door,
 MT. Strider grabbed his pistol and started in pursuit and shot once or twice at the feeting man, but failed to strike him. The neighborhood was aroused and a search was made for the would-be robber and per- haps murderer. He was soon discovered at the house of negro woman by the name of Mamie Peoples and was arrested.
 Thursday he was tried by the local jus tce of the peace. The negro went by the name of Joe White, and at the trial, on being asked what he was doing under MT. Strider's bed, replied that he intended wait ing until they were asleep and was then coming out to kill and rob them. This con- fession, as to be supposed incensed the white men present at the trial, and it was evident that with little encouragement severe example would be made of White.
 At the conclusion of the trial the con- stable started with his prisoner to the jail at Prattville, the county seat of Autauga county. The next morning found Joe White hanging from the limb of tree about a mile from Jones Switch. A mob had met the officer. and, taking the prisoner from him, executed summary punishment.
 The foregoing are the particulars of the affair as brought to Selma by several par ties from that vicinity. It is stated that very little of the affair is known, as there Is a reticence displayed by the neighbor- hood in giving anything out.

Dallas County

Selma, November 5.-(SpeciaD D-There has occurred nothing during the week that has passed that would change in any degree the forecast of the result of the election in Dallas county. from that given on Sunday last in The Age-Herald.
 This county is rightly named the queen county of the Black Belt, and as goes Dallas so goes the Black Belt It was from a meeting held in Selma, attended by representatives from other counties in this section, that in 1892 when the fate of democ- racy in Alabama hung In the balance, when Chris Magee's poodle and the then existing discord among the white people imperlled the very foundations of the party, that the famous message went out to those conducting the campaign: You take care of the raw recruits; the old guard will do its duty"
 The same message can be sent out now. The campaign is well in hand. Nothing that could be done has been left undone to bring to a realization of the white people the necessity of going to the polls and voting. Monday a grand rally and demo- cratic love feast will be held in Selma Senator Morgan. Senator Pettus and Con-
