Largest Circulation in the County

DURING the last 10 years ,4S3 cases OF
lynching have occurred in the United
States. This is a record that ought to
bring blush of shame to the cheek OF
every American citizen. Almost nine
tenths of these mob-murders took place
in the southern states. The skirts of the
North are by no means clear OF this
nefarious business, but in view of the
record. the South cannot justify itself by
pointing its finger this way and saying,
"You're another" Our own state IS com
paratively free of the stain, there having
occurred but two lynchings within her
borders during the above period, but
this is two too many. Georgia hasthe UNI

head of the list with lGl victims to her
discredit; Mississippi follows with loo;
Louisiana. 100; Alabama, 40; Texas,

tic cable, he founded the town Of Cairo,
ILL.,, and was one of the promoters of the
Illinois Central railroad. When he died,
in 1868, leaving two children, he was one
of the wealthiest men in the south. He
left his entire fortune to his, daughter,

The child grew to womanhood and was
married to James Maybrick, of Norfolk.

dren were born to them. Mrs. Chandler
remarked, her second husband being the

and the Holbrook fortune went fast.
Then came Mrs. Maybrick's arrest in
