OVER $4,000 BACK TAXES
Assessed by Revenue Agent Writ
Adams on J. J. Newman
Lumber Co.

Yesterday afternoon City Assessor
J. A. Beaumont served writ on the
J. J. Newman Lumber Co. for back
taxes on S241, $50 at II mills on the
dollar, the sum to be collected amount
ing to $4,111.62.
In 1899, because of the fact that
the continued growth of Hattiesburg
depended largely on whether or not
this mill remained here and continued
to increase in capacity, at the request
of the mem bers composing the firm
the incorporate limits were so reduced
by the mayor and board of aldremen
as not to take in this property, there
by exempting it from the city assess
ment. The right of the board to do
| this, inasmuch as they considered it
| to the very best interests of the city,
WAS never for a moment questioned,
but Writ Adams, who has developed
the habit of investigating such things,
has found precedent and also a
clause in the state statutes, which JUS
| titles him in this action, he declar
ing the boards action illegal as they
had the right to extend the corporate
limits only, and not to reduce them.
The case will be fought by the New
man corporation.

Today the primary hearing of Oscar

Today the primary hearing of Oscar
Smithwick, who shot and killed Ed
Turner few days ago, is being held,
but the number of witnesses is so
large that it has been impossible for
the case to be disposed of IN time for
full particulars to be published this
afternoon. From the evidence given
in so far the chances for either ac-
quittal or being bound over on small
bond. are very good in Smithwicks
favor. He has the two noted criminal
lawyers Hon. Bill Ethridge of Meri-
dian and Judge G. B. Hnddleston of
this city employed in his defense and
the statements of nearly all witnesses
up to this time have been largely
favorable.

Small Majority.

In the election held yesterday to

G. W. Smith was elected by ma
jority of nine votes, there being cast
for him ffty-six votes, while his op-
ponent, D. E. McInnis, received forty
five.
A great deal of interest has been
displayed in this election, not only by
those of ward 4, who were alone en-
titled to vote, but by all voters Of
the municipality. Both were con-
sidered good, strong men. we'll fitted
for the place, and both had numerous
supporters, making the race a very
hard and interesting one. Mr.. Smith
is good man, in municipal poll
tics something of ''novus homo, -
and we expect him to do splendid
work in the interest of the city.

NEGROES and WHITES RIOT;
BLOOD FLOWS In WILMINGTON
Several Negroes, Two Policemen and White
Man Wounded in ARRAYS Negroes Cry
for Blood of Lynchers-- When Police
Appear Blacks Open Fire.

Wilmington, Del, June 25. Blood
flowed tonight in the streets of Will
mington. The wind sowed by white
residents when they burned the negro
murderer and assaulter of a school
girl, George White, on Tuesday morn
ing, is coming back in whirlwind OF
disorder.
Two policemen were carried TO the
police station at late hour tonight
seriously wounded.
About 200 shots were fired between
whites and blacks, resulting in
three persons being wounded.
NEGROES CRY FOR BLOOD.
The news of cutting spread through
the negro section ike prairie fire.
1t acted on the minds of the rougher
element like alcohol Some of them
went mad with excitement and the
thought of blood.
The more excited exhorted the cooler
ones. They argued that the time
had come to fight. The negro must
assert himself, they said, or the white
man would wipe out the African race.
Some of the speeches were almost
frienzied in their wildness.
By 9 O'Clock a mob of blacks 500
