keeper several years ago, and the al.

considerable period. Several charges
have'been made against him. One Of
these is the unlawful removal from
distilleries and bonded warehouses Of
spirits upon which the internal reve.

other is the carrying on the business
OF a retail liquor dealer without the
payment of the special tax provided by
the law. Conviction in either case

NEGRO SWUNG TO A TREE
TERRELL HAS FIRST LYNCHIN6 IN
HISTORY OF THE COUNTY.
Green Daniel Was Hung to a Limb and
His Body RiddIed With Bullets by a
Supposed Lee County Mob.

His Body Riddled with Bullets by a
Supposed Lee County Mob
Sheriff Christie was notified early
Monday morning that a negro was
found hanging to limb on the Taylor
place, two miles below Sasser, near
the Lee county line.
Coroner Lewis and Deputy w. E.
Christie Immediately left for the scene
of the tragedy, securing jury at
Sasser composed of Drs. Q. G. and J.
Il. Crawford, J. T. Kitchens, w. M.
Mount, G.. G. Anthony and James w.
Harris.
When the coroner and jury reached
the scene of the lynching they found a
negro swinging to limb across plan
tation road within three hundred yard 9
of the Lee county line, with his body
riddled with bullets. The rope, which
was of small four strand cotton, had
stretched under the weight of the me-
gro's body, and his feet were squarely
on the ground. his legs were united,
and his posture was almost a natural
standing one.
There was very little evidence OBJ
tainable by the jury, no one present
knowing the negro or the circum-
stances which led to his tragic end,
and the jury returned verdict say.
ing the deceased had come to death by
hanging and gun shot wounds at the
hands of parties unknown.
1t was shown by those who lived
near the scene, however, that the
affair took place between 2 and B
o'clock Monday morning. One witness,
negro woman who spent the sight at
another Negroes house, about one
hundred yards OF the Lee county line,
testified that she had just returned
from frolic, aud was standing in a
door facing the road, and noticed five
buggies and two men on horseback
pass, coming from the direction of
Lee county, and that in few minutes
she heard a fusilade of shots from the
direction where the negro was found.
Later facts developed that the ne
gro's name was Green Daniel, a ne
gro about IS years old, and that he
lived on the King plantation two or
three miles across tee Terrell line in
Lee county. moving there from Sum-
ter county last spring. No one on the
King plantation knew anything about
him before be moved there, and as he
seemed to have no family or friepns
he was buried at the expense of the
county, in negro grave yard within a
few wards of where he met his death.
Daniels slynching is the first that
has occurred in the history of this
county and the affair is regretted by
many. It is almost certain, however,
that no citizen of Terrell county par

Indianapolis took both games from
Kansas City yesterdays all of which
has no general effect on the lineup Of
the pennant seekers. Milwaukee got
away with Toledo by narrow margin,
and this coming after the twelve-in-
ming tie of Tuesday, would appear to

a wonderful brace or Milwaukee is
playing ball that won't get them any

winning yesterday Milwaukee breaks
into the 500 division, but the Saints
have q comfortable lead as a reserve,
The first position is not yet cinched by
any means, and a short run of hard
luck, with corresponding good fortune
for the Brewers, would bring them
where they would be dangerous.
