or Kills. Himself to Pre-
vent Being Captured.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. g.
Wednesday night six Mormon ell
ders were conducting q meeting
in school house at Pine Bluff,
Stewart county, Tenn, when the
building was stormed by a mob
of over 100 men. Eggs and rocks
were thrown through the windows
and the building almost entirely
demolished. Those present fed
to save their lives, as bullets COM
menced to strike the building
thick and fast. Miss Mary
Harden, a popular young woman
of the place, walked between the
elders, Olson and Petty, with a
view to checking the work of the
mob. While the trio passed down
the road shots were fired from
ambush, and the woman was hit
by ball and almost instantly
killed. Her brothers vowed they
would avenge the crime, and after
the first excitement died out they
secured bloodhounds and placed
them on the trail of the assassins.
Burton Vinson, a prominent
young farmer and superintendent
of Sunday school, wrote a con
fession stating he had killed the
girl, but that it was an accident
and he wished to rid himself of
remorse of conscience. Shortly
after the confession the blood.
hounds trailed to his home. Vim
son turned, picked up a knife and
cut his throat, almost at the same
instant sending bullet through
his brain. His family and the
officers posse witnessed the sui
eide.

Lancaster ought to back Leroy
Springs for all it is worth. He is
leader who has already shown
his capacity, and when a town
has a man willing and able to
lead in industrial developments
it is fortunate, and should close
ranks and follow him. A million
dollar mill project should not ap-
pail Lancaster with its hugeness.
Look at Union, which in a year
more will have about two millions
in its cotton mills. The time is
propitious for getting northern
money into southern factories. If
local capital will do its best the
rest is not hard"
When Col. Springs set to work
to build the cotton mill here, Ian
easier promptly subscribed the
amount he asked for, and al
though the mill passed through
one of the worst periods of de
preston in such goods as this
mill manufactured, the mill has
kept running all the time, has
paid three semi-annual dividends,
and the stock is now worth 1O5,
and some of our capitalists who
ordinarily give cotton mill stock
wide berth, are now anxious to
buy the stock of Lancaster's cot
ton mill, and when Mr.. Springs
starts out to enlarge his mill to a
million dollar plant, those cap
italists will subscribe literally to
its stock, and he will have little
trouble in getting all that he will
want in order to make the en-
largement certainty.
A million dollar mill will bring
perhaps 5000 more people to Ian
caster, will consume four times
as much of the farmers wood as
the present plant, and will fur
nish market for increased farm,
garden, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts.

The Need of Good Roads.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE I'm your
report of the picnic and farmers
institute at Craigsville you men
ton that Prof. Morrison COM
plimented Lancaster county for
having produced two of the great
est men known in the history of
the United States-Andrew Jack
son and j. Marion Sims. That
was not the only compliment he
paid US. He said we gave the
conductors of the Institutes lar.
ger crowds than did the people of
any other county of the State
"but," he added, "you carry us
over the worst roads to get to
them" That was a pretty hard
lick, along with his compliments;
but none of us can say it was un
merrited. And if men like Nor
rison and Tillman keep on giving
us raps maybe it will make us
ashamed of ourselves after awhile
and cause us to mend our ways
(and roads,.
Whose fault is it about our
scandalous roads? Not the super
visor's, as some say; nor the fault
of the chain gang, as Others say.
The people themselves are to
blame. They could have the
roads made better if they would.
The supervisor appoints the over
seers and orders them to work
the roads see notice in the news
papers). That is all he can do ;
he cannot make the overseers
work. That is for the people to
do-by reporting them to the
supervisor, who will then have to
prosecute the overseer. There is
plenty of law to have good roads,
and there are officers ready to
enforce it. All that is needed is
for the people to do their part.
