The Negro Lynched Had Killed a Mem.
Der Of the Mob.

Der of the Mob.
Danville, ILL.,, July 25.-A race war
broke out here tonight. While a
mob OF 600 men was on it's wav to
the county lail to lynch James Will
son, Bloomington negro, who had
confessed to assaulting Mrs. Thomas
Burgess, the wife OF a farmer, an un-
known negro, shot and killed Henry
Getterman, white, a member OF the
mob. The murderous negro, re.
fugee from Evansville, Ind, was then
lynched by the mob and three other
negroes who attacked the whites
were beaten badly. The mob finally
resumed its march to the county Jail,
determined to lynch Wilson.
The mob at the jail was fred on by
the sheriff. Nine persons were
wounded and the crowd scattered.
Mayfield met his fate while the mob
was on the way to lynch Wilson. As
the throng was passing down East
Main street the negro became involv-
ed in an alteration with some OF its
members. They started after him
and be pulled a gun, firing into the
crowd.
Henry Getterman, a young butch
er, fell mortally wounded andexpired
in few minutes. The negro turned
and fed but was caught by the Off.
GERS within a block Of the scene OF the
tragedy and hurried to the police sta
tion, with the mob in hot pursuit,
temporarily diverted from their
march to the county jail. The Off.
GERS wiah their prisoner took refuge
in the city building, barricading
themselves behind the doors Of one
of the Offices. They could not check
the mob, however, for It secured a
long pole and battered down q Sec
tion Of the wall and door, both Of
which were frail. On account OF the
overwhelming numbers Of the mob 1t
was useless for the officers to resist.
The negro was seized and rushed to
the spot where he had shot down
Getterman.
It was the work OF only an instant
to throw the rope around his neck
and swing him up to the nearest tele.
graph pole. The mob did not delay
long, but waited to see that their
victim was dead.
Life had been slowly strangled out
and he was left hanging while the
mob proceeded on to the county iail.
The mob changed it's mind before at
tacking the jail and went back and
eut down Mayfeld's body. They

Are manufactured cigarettes going out of fashion? It is an undisputed fact that the sale of this article has greatly de- creased during the past year and from all counts the next year will show a still further reduction in the sales
 This does not indicate that the use of the fragrant weed is going into disfavor. On the contrary the sale of tobacco and cigars has increased correspondingly, and local dealers say the increase or cigarette papers is at least twenty per cent over last year.
 The almost prohibitive tax on the mann- factured cigarette is said to be partly re- sponsible for the decrease in the sales but the dealers say they smoke the hand rolled cigarettes through preference The habit of rolling cigarettes came from Mexico and is rapidly growing into popu- larity throughout the United States and especially in the south. While hand made cigarettes are rare in the north and east the manufactured ones are equally as rare in the south. As an old smoker says: "There's nearly as much pleasure in roll- ing a cigarette as in smoking it"
 Formally all jobbers handled cigarettes, but now only few deal in the article.

 Clyde Paris, chief clerk to district pas senger agent J. c. Lusk of the Southern railway, has resigned his position to take effect December 15. MT. Paris leaves the railway company to take up a respon- sible position with the Vibrating Instru- ment company of Chattanooga. Great regret is expressed at MT. Paris impend- ing departure He has been with the Southern railway some time and has made many friends while in this city. This leaves two vacancies in the passen- ger department of that company in Bir- mingham as MT. Latimer, the travelling passenger agent, has already resigned and will leave at the same time as MT. Paris.

HAND MADE CIGARETTES
 GROW INTO POPULARITY

The dealers and jobbers claim there is not enough money in the trade under the present tax to handle them. A man in Birmingham has to pay nearly eighty dol- lars yearly for the privilege of selling cigarettes, while the jobbers pay even more
 Of course cigarettes can be bought in town, but oftimes when a user of them is in a small place he will find great difficulty in gratifying his desire unless he rolls them himself. Many prefer a handmade cigarette and of course this makes little difference.
 In connection with the use of tobacco if is interesting to note that while sta tistics show an enormous amount of to- bacco consumed in this country every year, an allowance has to be made for the waste. In the making of cigarette there Is invariably some split and 1t is never smoked clear to the end. More or less tobacco is wasted by pipe users and the same by the devotees of the cigar. It would be hard to give anything like an adeauate estimate in figures as to what percentage is wasted, but there is no doubt but what it would show up in good round figures.
