The lecture on Backbone by
Thomas Dixon. jr.. Monday night
was undoubtedly one of the best in
the course and after listening with
rapt attention to his eloquencc for
almost two hours the audience could
hardly realize that he had reached
the closing sentence. He showed first
the supremacy of the Anglo.Saxon
race and asserted that the secret Of
this lay in the power of will. The
Frenchman educated his son to be
an army or civil officer and his
daughter for a favorable matrimonial
offer, each being commanded to obey.

assault on three white girls. was
finally brought to bay at Vienna,
Ala. Friday morning, and lodg-

The story Of Dunham's 5 crime,
and subsequent escape, the days
spent in searching for him and
the failure Of all attempts at his
capture are too well known to be
retold here. The negro is
well known here, he having work
ed in this city and in Vienna some
years ago when his record as a
Dad character was established.
Several years ago he was sent to
the penitentiary from here for
burglary and served his time out
afterward going to the Delta. At
the time OF the incident of the
crime for which he is now want

swered so closely to the negro
known here that a const n t
watch was kept in this section.
Some days ago it was rumored in
this county that Dunham had
been seen near here and as it was
known that he had relatives in
Vienna. Capt. w. B. PEBBLES. of
Vienna. was notified To keep a
strict watch for him. Thursday

ay morning returning that af-
ernoon with the prisoner. A
