HARVEST HANDS KIDNAPPED
Farmers Waylay Train in Kansas
And Seize Men Sent
Elsewhere.


growing region of the nation, is now
in the throes of the burning Of the
crop. Lack Of hands is one Of the
great obstacles. Many sections have
trouble of this character, but kid
rsping of hands has not yet been re-
sorted to as in the following from
the Kansas City Times:
Lost Between Kansas City and
Pratt, Kan, herd OF l73 harvest
hands. We're last seen on a Rock
Island train going West. They wore
overalls and hickory hats. Indications
now are that they also had Jump
ers." Liberal reward for capture
and return to farmers at Pratt,
Kan.
Il guess | will have to lock the
doors, barricade the windows and

Commanche Indian Shut eyes and

hands out to Pratt 1t appears to
me that a harvest hand can't cross
the State line before some farmer
hunts him down and gathers him in.
] wonder if it's hold-up or bribery?
Boodling somewhere.
A. X. Jamison, superintendent Of
the State Free Employment Bureau.
said recently, while he was worrying
away with telephone calls. telegraph
messages and letter mail from Pratt,
Kan, one of the towns. in the wheat
belt, 276 miles west of here.
81 have started 173 men to Pratt, "
Mr.. Jamison said, land it apperS
that farmers have met them at
points along the way and taken them
from the trains. Reports from
Kansas say that when trains stop in
the little stations. the crop owners
rush into the cars and if a harvest
hand is in sight, they collar him.
It's all over with his railroad ride.
They make quick terms and by the
time trains get towards the western
central part of the State there's not
one left on the train.
Il have a letter from 7. b. Gerowe
director of the free employment Of
fee at Topeka, which says he is meet
ing with the same trouble. How
ever, Gerow is trying a little game
on the quiet. He is going TO start
some crowds from Wichita and
Hutchinson try and slip them
through. 1t may work. Gerow
says Pratt wants a hundred men a
day for seven days. He sent me a
list Of places near there, where near
" 1000 men are wanted immediate
| ly.'
About $50 men were sent from
here recently. They scattered to
different sections of the State. Near
ly all were farmers, although few
had never been inside a wheat field.
One crowd of five came from Louis
Vile, Ky. The eldest of these was
twenty-one years old. All We're
dressed in fashionable clothing, h; d
their trousers carefully creased, wore
patent leather shoes, and one had a
Panama hat. They told Mr.. Jamison
they wanted to tougher up and get
brown.

DEATH At LAST,
Claims Secretary of State
John Hay.
One of the AbleSt Diplomats OF
the Nation, Dies in New
Hampshire.

Newbury, n. H., July Is ecre-
tary of State John Hay died at an
early hour this morning. His death
occurred at his summer home which
is known as the Fells, and which is
located short distance from New
bury.
The death of Secretary Hay was
entirely unexpected to all with the
possible exception of his physicians
and some members of his family.
The seriousness of his condition was
realized by his physicians only quite
recently, and the reports previously
given out of his condition were most
encouraging. He had appeared to
be gaining in strength and had rest
ed quite comfortable. His condition
regarded as so favorable that it was
expected he would be able to sit up
by the end of the week. On account
of the belief that he was improving
his physicians did not remain with
him all of the time DR.. Scudder,
physician in charge. having recently
made trip to Boston.
In the death Of Hay the nation
loses one of its greatest diplomats.
Secretary Hay has been in poor
health for sometime. He returned
only last week from trip through
Southern Europe. made for the ben
eft of his health. 1t was thought
when he returned to Washington
that he was very much improved and
there were many expressions of graf
itication that he was again at his post
of duty. He become i'll again and
left Washington a few days ago for
Newberry.
John Hay was born in Salem, Ind,
October 1898. He was graduated
from Brown University and settled in
Illinois as a lawyer, but has been in
political life since the outbreak of
the war between the states. In 1861
he went to Washington as one Of
President Lincoln's private secreta-
ries. acting also as his aide-de-camp.
He served under Generals Hunter
Gilmore with the rank of major and
adjutant general. He was subse-
quently in the United States diplo-
matte service and was stationed at
various times at Paris, Vienna and
Madrid. The last diplomatic posi-
sition held by Mr., Hay was that of
ambassador to England, to which he
was appointed in 1897.
In the following year, 1898. Hay
was made Secretary of State. He
was reappointed as Secretary OF
State by President Roosevelt and
was serving in this capacity at the
time of his death.
Mr.. Hay was a literary man OF
considerable repute. His principal
literary reputation rests on book OF
poems called pike County Ballads, y
and life of Abraham Lincoln. He
wrote also book of other works.

EIGHT MObBED IN GEORGIA,
Seven Negroes and one White
Man Shot at one Time.
One Escapes by Feigning Death,
Others Riddled by
Bullets.

prisoners were taken from the jail
here this morning and shot To death
by mob of masked white men with
in 200 yards of the center of the
town.
Nine men were carried to the
scene of the lynching, but one mira
culously escaped death by failing
10 the ground when the volley was
fired and feigning that he had been
killed.
Four of the prisoners were charged
with being implicated in the murder
of Holbrook and his wife several
weeks ago. and one was held for an
attempted criminal assault The
others were in Jail on minor misde-
meanor charges.
The mob formed quietly, just after
midnight, and marched in order TO
the iail. where the keys were de-
manded of the jailer. The demand
was made at the point of drawn rifle
and pistols. and the iailer quickly
realized that resistance was out of
the question.
With the keys in its possession. the
mob opened all the cells, ordered the
trembling inmates out. and then
lined the men up in single file, tieing
them securely with ropes.
The prisoners, nine in number,
We're marched to a corner lot. with
in 200 yards of the Jail, and in the
the very heart of the town. where
they were bound to a fence, with
their hands tied behind them.
The work had been SO quietly done
that the sleeping residents Of the
town had not been aroused.
At a command by the leader the
mob stepped back a few PAGES, took
deliberate aim and fired volly from
rifles. shotguns and pistols into the
line Of prisoners.
Every man in front Of the mob fell
at the first volley.
Believing its works had been made
complete. the mob quickly dispers-
ed.
An examination 10y the jailer, who
had been forced by the mob to ac-
company it to the scene of the exc
cution, showed that seven of the
men had been riddled by the bullets,
hut Joe Patterson was found to have
been only slightly injured.
Patterson escaped death as by a
miracle, for the fence post to which
he had been bound was torn into
fragments by the bullets. He poss-
esSed the presence of mind to a fall
with his Inflated companions and
remain motionless upon the ground.
The rattle of the volley aroused
tine sleeping town. Scores of citi-
zens sprang from their beds, not
knowing what had happened. The
widest excitement prevailed and
half clad men and women hurried
~ left their homes to investigate.
Their eyes fell upon gruesome
spectacles. Eight men, seven color
ed and one white. were lying upon
their faces. their bodies ragged the
bullet wounds and blood and brains
scattered in all directions.
The strength Of the mob has been
variously estimated. The jailer de-
clares that there were many armed
men all wearing masks, who appear
ed suddenly at the Jail door.
Gaining admission to the jail, the
mob first sought for Sandy Price,
who was arrested late yesterday af-
ternoon by posse of forty citizen
Of Oconee county and delivered ia
