Jim Mays Lynched.

Springfield. KY, January ll-Jim
Mays, negro, charged with assault
ing Lula Jeans, the daughter OF Jos.
Jeans, one of the most prominent
farmers in the county, near Simms-
town, six miles from here, was taken
from jail BY mob early today and
hanged to tree in the high school
yard. The mob came into town
quietly and after arousing Jsiler
Cattlett, demanded the keys to the
iail. Their demand was refused,
however, and they Immediately be-
gan to hammer the locks on the Jail
doors. In few minutes they effect
ed an entrance and found Mays
scower;ng in his cell, begging the
other prisoners to protect him.
The leaders of the mob took charge
of the negro and telling the jsl.eF
to watch the other prisoners, dragged
Mays to the high school yard, where
be was speedily strung up to tree.
The Mob's work was quickly done
and but few words were spoken by
the leaders while they were at the
Jail. Citizens knew nothing of the
lynching until Mays body was found
/ swinging from the tree this morning.
It is not known in what direction the
mob departed and none Of the mem
bers is known to the officials. The
| negro's body was cut down and an
| inquest held by the coroner.
The negro was arrested and brought
| here Wednesday. It was charged
/ that the assault was committed while
Miss Jeans was returning home
from a neighbor's. She fought stub
bornly and her screams brought two
of her brothers to her reecae.
They pursued Mays and succeeded
in captaring him after long chase
The brothers beat the negro severely
and were only prevented from killing
him By the arrival of sene fsrme q
who tarned the negro over to the con-
stable.

THOSE LEXINGTON BONDS.

-"The Record is sorry to learn that
soHe readers attribute to Mr.. Ehrd
all that is said in our article of the
9Th instant, headed bonds Repu-
diased." The facts are: Inquiry was
made of Mr. EGrd and be stated
the amount of bond; the names Of
the townships: that no legal steps
had 1een taken az yet; that the treas
urer would refuse to pay the bonds
and coupons upon written request so
to do by the representatives CT the
townships at meetings of the tax
payers called for that purpose: and
that the taxpayers believed they
would not be compelled by the courts
to pay them"
Beyond giving the information
stated in the above eard I am in DO
way responsible for anything stated
in the article Of the 9th. Indeed
the moral and legal opinions it passed
in the article have never been and
are not now my opinions.

Bonds Repudiated.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Will you kindly give me space in
your columns to set right an article
of the Colunbis Record Of the 9Th
instant, which is susceptible of a
misle aiding construction. The article
is ss follows:
"It has developed that tnlee town
ships in Lexington county which
voted bonds for the building Of the
Columbis, Newberry and LsureDs
road are going TO teke the nstter Ct
further payment into The courts.
These townships are The Fork,
SaIuda and Broad River, and the
total amount voted by them was
about $4,000. Interest has been
paid regularly, but e bondholder IN
Columbia recently sent over to Lex
ineton's treasurer some coupons,
psyment for Whlch was refused by
the treasurer.
"Mr. G. N. Efrd, supreme court
reporter, stated today when asked
about the matter, that no legal steps
had been taken, but that the people
of these townships had presented q
petition to the treasurer, auditor and
supervisor asking that DO further
interest be paid. He said that the
people of those townships believed
that they could not be legally made
to pay the interest On the bonds, and
that may or may not be go. But
from all indications there is moral
obligation in the matter which the
| taxpayers of those townships ought
to consider. Still the attempt not to
pay the interest or the principal pro-
ceeds on legal grounds, amongst
which are some accusations about
the legality Of the election, where
by the bonds were voted and other
technical points.
/ Legally, the county treasurer had
no right to refuse to pay the value
! OF the coupons sent him. But he
did so, and it is understood that he
has been assured that he would not
financially suffer by reason OF bis
refusal. The object of the whole
| movement is to make bondholders
enter suit to sustain their rights.
and thus the whole question Of town
! ship bonds will likely come up be-
| fore the courts sgain."
The Record on the Oh instant
! finding that its said article was by
1 sone construed as attributing to me

HEBREW HOLIDAYS.
New Years, Day of Atonement and
 Feast of Tabernacles.

New Years, Day of Atonement and
 Feast of Tabernacles.
 Within the next month are contained the principal Hebrew holidays of the year Thursday, October 2. is New Years day; Saturday, October Il, is to be observed as the day of atonement, and beginning with Thursday, October l6, the feast of tabernacles will be eel ebrated, to continue eight days
 According to the Hebrew calendar, October 2 is the first day of the first month-called '.Tishri''-be the year 5,663. The day will be appropri- ately observed by all Israelites Spe- cifll services are to be held in all taber- nacles,and in the Hebrew homes of the city there will be great rejoicing. Pres ents and letters of congratulation will be exchanged and the greater part of the day will be given up to paying calls and pleasure seeking.
 The day of atonement, nine days later, is quite the opposite in the na- ture Of it's observance. While not for gotten, the rejoicing will be subdued under cloud of grief, as it were, while thedevout Hebrew reflects on the short comings of the past and makes sincere atonement for sin.
 AASOASN Ol. IdUGTulc1eS IS celebrated at the close of the agricui- tural year as a thanksgiving for the produce of the seasons, but especially for the vintage and olive naryests It IS described in the old law of Exodus Xiii, l6, under the name of ssThe feast of ingathering at the end of the year., (which, in the old Hebrew calendar. ran from autumn to autumn). when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the held.o The same feast is spoken of in Deuteronomy xvi, 13. as sThe feast of booths," whence the present name s'tabernacles'' is derived.
 No explanation is given in Deuteron- omy of the name feast of booths" bllt after the exile of the Jews it is under stood that during this feast the people assembled themselves in Jerusalem there to live in booths constructed of branches of trees. According so the law the booths were to be a memorial or the wilderness wandering, but of this there is no hint in Deuterononv7 While it is quite in the style of the lat, ter law to atach a new historical ref erence to an old name like feast of booths, yet it is certain from Exodus that the feast had originally agriculs tural and not historical significance. As such it is exactly similar to the vintage feasts of other nations.
 The last day of the feast is consid. cred the greatest and Is made a special holiday Brooklyn Eagle.
