SWIFT JUSTICE METED
OUT TO A NEGRO FIEND.
One Hundred Determined Men AZ
oreenviIie. Miss, Take the Law In
to fheir Own Hands.

Greenville, Miss, June 4.-wasbino.
ooh county has a strong Jail, but not
suong enough to hold fiend like John
Dennis, who outrageously assaulted
MISS Bishop last Monday night.
Inc men OF Greenville were determin-
60 'hat the sanctity and purity Of their
homes should be protected at all cost.
Attempt after attempt had been made "a
mete out justice to this brute, but each
time the officers interfered.
At4o'clock this afternoon about 100
determined men went to the Jail. II was
impossible to get in at the front door. 80
the side door was attacked, first bv a
four by six timber, which only Knocked
the doorknob off; but when an iron rail
was brought into play, the door yielded
and mighty yell went up.
Just across the yard Judge Rimbroueh
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 minutes. As soon
as an entrance was effected, the city bell
struck three times. Its ring sounded
the death knell OF Dennis. At the first
stroke men commenced to flock toward
the jail, and In ten minutes about 10
were on the scene. After few minutes
the prisoner was brought out and was
greeted with a loud clamor.
"To the telephone exchanged" was
the cry that went up from hundreds of
throats. The victim Of the brute Is an
employee Of the telephone company,
which, is on Washington avenue, on the
most prominet business corner Of the
city.
Onward went the march, the crowd
gathering at every step. Lawyers, doc
tors, merchants and every class Of men
composed of the large, but orderly body.
The only demonstrations made we're
shouts and words Of Joy at finally hav-
ing in their possession this savage in the
form Of negro. The flend was finally
gotten to his last stand on earth, rope
was threwn over cable, moose made,
the negro placed under it and the rope
was pulled.
Before being strung up, the negro was
asked II he had any statement to make,
He replied: "You will let me say my
prayers won't youP"
He was told to say them. After this
he asked to make a statement, but be-
fore he could talk hundred hands took
hold Of the rope and began to draw him
up.
The higher he went the louder the
crowd yelled. A. large crowd was at the
scene, and ladies were on the gallery
viewing the proceedings. The negroes
were called ON TO take warning and to
see "that Southern homes, honor and
virtue must be protected, and that wo-
men can walk the streets of Greenville
at any time Of night"
Not shot was fired. After the hang
ing the cowd dispersed. The negro's
body is still hanging.

LONGING AND HIS DETRAcroRs.

The newspapers which started out to
re-elect Senator Money by campaign
Of mud -slinging, slanders and personal
detraction OF Gov. Longino, unsupport-
ed by fact or reason, are getting sick Of
their job as the people understand the
trick and the real truth of the situation.
Everywhere where the Governor speaks
in manly, dignified way he is exposing
the malice and falsity Of the opposition
and winning friends and supporters by
the hundreds. Longino will be vim
ner; mark the prediction. A man who
has clean record, personal and official,
as Longino, from the time he became
Chancery Clerk of Lawrence County and
who has make as fine governor as he
has, can't be put down before the people
Of Mississippi by campaign of detrac-
ton and falsehood Brookhaven Lead

MISSISSIPPI TAX LEVY
FOR THE NEXT YEAR
VIII In No Likelihood Be Increased
Next Year BY Legislature Low Wa
ter Mark VIII Not be Felt.

Although the State treasury win touch
within fewinches OF the low water mark
during the coming fall, II Is not beliey-
cd that it will be necessary for the next
Legislature Ito increase the State tax
levy, which is now six mills
The last legislature reduced the levy
one-half mill, and the revenue raised on
this levy has been sufficient for all pur-
poses, despite the fact that million doll
lar capitol has been built without the
issuance Of single bond, $400, 900 bond
issue has been redeemed, and the gene
raj appropriations were all larger than
ever before, the school fund being in
creased S2b0,0O0, appropriations TO all
educational institutions enlarged, sala-
ries increased, 100000 set aside forgrad-
ing the capitol grounds, and the budget
in all respects being the largest in the
history Of the State.
Splendid financiering ability has been
displayed by Governor Longino and his
administration, and the condition OF the
States finances were never more salts
factory thann now. Tuesday warrants were
issued on the treasury for the semi -an-
nual distribution OF the school fund
amounting TO s3i6, ,6G6. .86, and all OF these
warrants will be paid promptly until
settled.
AS above stated, low water mark will
be touched this fall Just before the an
nual tax settlements are commenced, but
1t is believed that there will be enough
money on hand 10 avoid deficit. State
Revenue Agent Adams will help out
matters considerably by frequent collec-
tions OF back taxes on solvent credits
Single amounts from this source are not
large, but in the aggregate they amount
to good-sized sum.
The finng Of the levy OF course great
ly depends on what may be done by the
Legislature in the way appropriations. ].
If the body is more than usually liberal
It will have to figure on the levy aecor-
dinghy, but as payments on the new
capitol viii cease within the next few
weeks there will not be drain on the
revenues from this source, and at pre-
sent there Is no reason why the levy for
the next two years should be in excess
OF six mills.

Not Engines Enough to Move Traffic
The Vandalia Borrowing LOcomo-
tives from the Pennsylvania.

The loaded car movement of the week
ended Nov. was the lightest of any week
in the last seven months, and wholly due
to lack OF locomotive power to move loaded
cars. The Big Four, despite the fact that
it has largely increased the number of it's
locomotives. seems to be the worst off in
the movement OF it's freight. The Vandalia
Is short of power, as is the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & Dayton. The Pennsylvania is
now in much better condition in this re-
spect than most of the Indianapolis lines.
The weather has been so favorable for
weeks for moving freight that work has
been crowded upon the motive power. much
Of which, even among the newer loco
motives, is in need of repairs. For some
weeks past cars have been in better sup
ply than engines to haul them. East
bound traffic is good, but west-bound BUSH
ness Is still an excess, and the through
lines are studying the problem how to bet
ter eQualiZe the east and weSt-bound move
ment. the chief aim being to secure more
grain for export Shipments of provisions
and -four have increased of late. AS to
local business. there Is no room for COM
plant. October was the best month In this
respect ever enjoyed by local lines, and
under present weather conditions Novem-
Der bids fair to show a larger business. 1t
is evident that were the roads able to
handle their through business with the
same dispatch that local traffic Is carried,
all previous records in loaded car move
ment would be exceeded, as there Is an
ample amount of freight to be moved to

The Outlook Improving.

1t is said that the railroads of the coun-
try are so sanguine about the business flu
ture that they have decided to continue to
add what is necessary to their rolling
stock. This report is confirmed by one Of
the officers of one of the most prominent
car companies in the United States. He
said that the railroads had been ordering
cars so freely that his concern will be able
to start business again the first of the year
and run all through 1904 on orders that will
keep them constantly busy at top speed
Incidentally 1t is also said that the rail-
roads propose to continue planning for their
work of Improvement Elaborate plans
have been outlined during the year, which.
II carried out, will mean the expenditure Of
several millions of dollars The railroads
are merely checking these plans for the
winter, hoping to continue In the spring,
which they will do unless affairs in the
country take a decided turn for the worse.
This situation being presented gives a
better tone to the whole situation. a feeling
OF hope having been engendered in the
whole business fabric. The railroads re-
port also that even the steel interests are
more hopeful. and the outlook as they see
ii is bright
