MASKED MOB LYNCHES
 NEWBERNE, N. t., NEGRO
JAIL BROKEN INTO EARLY SUM DAY AND VICTIM TAKEN
 OUT.
First Hanged to One of the Braces of Bridge and Then His Body Riddled With BuIIets-NaVaI Reserves Called Out to Prevent Crime But Failed Sheriff Pleads With Mob in Vain The NegrO's Shocking Crime.
The NegrO's Shocking Crime.

Newberne, N. O., Aug. 27.-John Moore, a negro, twenty years old, was taken from Craven county jail in this city early to-day and lynched by mob of 100 masked men armed with rifles and revolvers.
 With his hands tied behind him, the negro was led out about a third of a mile from the jail to the draw of Mouse river bridge, hanged to one of its braces and his body riddled with bullets. The mob attacked the jail be- tween 1 and o'clock this morning. En- trance was effected by forcing the jail- or to surrender the keys. As soon as the attack was discovered the naval re- serves were called out to attempt to pdevent the lynching. Crowds rushed to the bridge. Sheriff J. w. Riddle was quickly on the scene, pleading that Moore be left to the law, but his ef- forts were unavailing, and the mob car- ried out it's plans.
 Moore entered the country store of George Tubanks at Clarks, seven miles from Newberne, last Friday, when the proprietor's wife was the only one in. The negro attempted robbery and struck Mrs. Eubank on the head with a meat axe, fracturing bones and in- fiicting injuries, which, if they do not prove fatal, will at least cause not only disagreement but lifelong suffering. Mrs. Eubank screamed and people came to her rescue. The negro fled, but was captured in a swamp after a chase of few miles and placed in Jail.
 Charlotte, N. C., Aug. PA special from Newberne to the Observer says that the real cause of the lynching lay in the fact that at his preliminary hearing yesterday Moore's bond was fixed at only $500. The iynching was de- nounced from all the pulpits of the | town this morning.

which the presidents intercession was received there is evidence here that upon both sides some resentment was shown. Especially is this true on the Russian side, where some disposition has been manifested to regard the presidents communication containing the suggestion of his proposed compro- mise as evidence that the sided with Japan. According to high Russian authority who has been in a, position to see the communication 1t quite clearly showed that the president considered that Japan's victories gave her the right to ask for an indemnity, in fact if not in name, and was also entitled to Sakhalin and that her military oc- cupation of Sakhalin gave her the right to the land.
 Assistant Secretary Peirce, after the announcement of the decision to ad- journ over to Tuesday saw both M. Witte and Mir Takahira, and then sent long cipher message to the president.
 Although the public tonight was led to believe that the meeting was def initely adjourned until Tuesday, the Associated Press learns late tonight that according to the joint understand ing between M. Witte and MT. Taka- hira it was agreed that there would be no meeting until JaDan's response to what may be regarded as the Rus sian ultimatum arrived. The meeting therefore may not be held until Wednesday or Thursday. Tokio must now decide, and, judging from the tone of the Japanese press, the government must face a great deal of opposition at home if it yields further.

yang-His strong Lines Of communi-
 cation-Japanese Warships Destroy
 Two Russian Guard Houses on the
 Amur River.
 Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, Aug. 27.- intelligence of the constitutional grants by the government has been received by the army and general information relating to Portsmouth affairs con- tinue to reach here from three to ten days late.
 Since the Japanese reconnoitered the Russian center about twenty-five or thirty miles, on August 10, which re- suited in retaliatory skir1nishing as well as the checkmating of a wide movement of considerable bodies of troops throughout three days, nothing important has occurred During the long quiet there have been reinforce- ments to both sides, giving the theater of war a much changed appearance. The front has been greatly extended, made possible by the use of the wire less telegraph and because of the un- exampled size of the armies, the char acter of the third stage of the war, whether 1t De active hostilities, demob- ilization or the garrisoning of contested territory, will be complicated
 The relative positions of the two armies is comparable to that of a year ago, and the country immediately fac- ing the Japanese is almost identical to that which confronted them at Liao- yang. The acquisition of the railway and the rivers by the Japanese at Mukden, together with their Fengwang- cheng communications and General KuWamura's new line of communica- tion and defense, running from the head of navigation on the Yalu river across to Kaiyuan. with the occupation of the Changpaishan mountain region, makes control of the administration of south Manchuria as complete as that achieved in the north by similar or I ganization, and in the rapid consoliaa- I ton of these connections, the destiny of Manchuria is clearly fixed, regard- less of other influences.
 The Associated Press correspondent recently traversed 200 miles over the old imperial hunting preserve on the east flank, which was opened to settle ment several years ago. Heavy crops of oil beans, millet, naise. indigo and hemp are under cultivation there now.

State Chairman Ellyson yesterday re-
ceived telegram from Staunton statins
that the Democratic committees Of
Staunton city and Augusta county would
conduct the primaries there without eX-
pcnse to the State Committee.
4 Newport News led off. Now Stanton
and Augusta fall in line. The outlook is
promising. If each county and city Will
do likewise the problem will solve it
self.
Is it possible that Newport News and
Stanton are more loyal to Democracy
than other cities? and is it possible that
Augusta Is more loyal than other coun-
ties? or to put another way, is 1t possible
that other cities and counties arc less
loyal than these? We are unwilling to be-
llevet it. The cost will be trifling to each
county, and the money can easily be
raised in most sections. II anybody will
y take the trouble TO pass around the hat.
To do this Is to do a good work for
Democracy and for the primary. There
are some folks who would be very glad TO
see the primary fall into dishonor his
campaign. Shall they be gratitied.
