INCREASE IN CRIME.

Not a day passes without the
record Of some horrible murder
crime. The time was when men
would settle their difficulties by
meeting face to face and without
knives or guns go into the combat
open-handed. But now it is far
different. The most frivolous affair
may cause the death OF good citi-
zen. The best of friends dispute
these days and what is the result?
We read in the press columns the
next day of the murder of good
man, when perhaps not more than
ten cents was involved as the cause,
or probably slight remark in q
political campaign. The time is on
when the pistol toting habit-one of
the greatest of all evils-must be
kept down, for as it is good men are
forced to carry them to protect
themselves from bodily harm by
hoodlums and roustabouts who are
raised on pine top whisky and rim
med cartridges and who lurk around
after the sun goes down to carry out
their motives from an i'll feeling they
have against you and your welfare.
If there was law to fine every man
$500 or one year in the penitentiary
who was caught with pistol on his
person, the manufacturers of the gun
would have to go out of business.
Men would settle their difficulties
without reserting to arms. Why
shouldn't the legislature look into
this matter and pass such laws as
would best hinder the carrying of
concealed weapons? Children read
of murders in all the daily papers
and it is becoming common reading
matter to them, hardening their
hearts and degrading their moral
natures. There must be stopping
place and the sooner the better.-Mt.
Olive Tribune.

SWIFT DEATH METED
OUT TO NEGRO fIEND
Determined Body of 200 Men Batter Down
Prison Doors to Get John Dennis. and.
Allowing Him Only Time to
Pray, String Him to
Telephone Pole at
Greenville.

Greenville, Miss, June 4. Wash
ington county has strong Jail, but
not strong enough to hold fiend like
John Dennis, who outrageously as
saulted Miss Bishop last Monday
night.
The men of Greenville were de-
termined that the sanctity and purity
of their homes should be protected at
all cost. Attempt after attempt had
been made to meet out justice to this
brute, but each time the officers in
terfered.
At O'Clock this afternoon about
100 determined men went to the Jail.
1t was impossible to get in at the
front door, SO the side door was at
tackled, first by four-by-six timber,
which only knocked the doorpeb@ off ;
but then an iron rail was brought into
play, the dor yielded and a mighty
yell went up
Just across the yard Judge Kim
brough was holding court. He went
over and pleaded with the crowd to
let the law take its course, but no
power could have stopped the men,
who were determined on spilling the
negro's blood.
After gaining admittance to the
Jail, the cell had to be broken into
This was only matter of few min
utes. AS soon as an entrance was
effected, the city bell struck three
times. It's ring sounded the death
knell of Dennis. At the first stroke
men commenced to flock toward the
Jail, and in ten minutes about 700
were on the scene. After a few
minutes the prisoner was brought out
and was greeted with loud clamor.
"To the telephone exchanged" was
the cry that went up from hundreds

of throats The victim of the brute
is an employe of the telephone COM
pany, which is on Washington avenue,
on the most prominent business cor
ner of the city.
Onward went the march, the crowd
gathering at every step. Lawyers,
doctors, merchants and every class of
men comp osed the large, but orderly
body. The only demonstration made
were shouts and words of joy at
finally having in their possession this
savage in the form ola negro. The
fiend was finally gotten to his last
stand on earth, rope was thrown
over cable, moose made, the negro
placed under it and the rope was
pulled.
Before being strung up the negro
was asked if he had any statement to
make. He replied: ''You will let me
say my prayers, won't you ?''
He was told to say them. After
this he asked to make statement,
but before he could talk a hundred
hands took hold of the rope and began
to draw him up.
The higher he went the louder the
crowd yelled. A lrage crowd was at
the scene, and ladies were on the gal
leries viewing the proceedings. The
young ladies of the telephone ex-
change also saw it. While the nergo
was dangling in the air, the negroes
standing around were called on to
take warning and to see THAT south
ern homes, honor and virtue must be
protected, and that women can walk
the streets of Greenville at any tim e
of night
Not shot was fired. After the
hanging the crowd dispersed. The
negro's body is still hanging.

Over in Davenport. previous to the
series with Rock Island, the natives
felt quite certain they had a ball
team. The aggregation of ball-sling-
ers from that Teutouic village won
from first one and then another of the
foremost teams in the Three-Eye
league until they had climbed into the
dizzy altitude of third place. The
baseball cranks assured each other
