 censed White Men.
POSSES SILL IN PURSUIT

Montgomery, August s.-(SpeciaI.) )-Gov- ernor Jelks does not propose that there shall be a lynching in either Randolph or Cherokee, where it is reported that posses are in pursuit of murderers. The gover- nor had no information of the crimes until he received the morning papers which showed the crimes of such aggravating nature as probably to cause the incensed members of the posses to take the law into their own hands No time was lost how ever. in getting into telegraphic commit nication with both Sheriff Webb of Cher okee, and Sheriff Kent of Randolph. These officials were informed that the governor expected them to prevent lynching in case of the capture of the murderers.
 In Cherokee it appears that Deputy Sheriff Jim Price was killed by a rowdy gang of negroes while the officer was at tempting to make an arrest in a railroad camp.
 The Randolph case grows out of the running fight between the negro Sledge and the sheriffs posse in pursuit, three of the posse being reported in the press as killed by Sledge and nine wounded.
