NEGRO MOB BEATS OPERATOR.
Five Hundred Men Respond to Ap-
peal For Succor. .-Bloodhounds
Sent to the Scene.

Spartanburg, December 29.-Five
hundred men, sworn in as officers, and
led by Sheriff Nichols, are securing
the woods around Mount Zion, a tel
eg:aph block station on the main line
Of the Southern Railroad, six miles
from here, searching for members Of
a hegro mob that surrounded the tel-
egraph station tonight shortly after 7
O'Clock, shot out the windows and
lights in the. Office and beat and
choked Telegraph Operator Porter.
The trouble originated this after
noon when a drunken negro was put
off the train. The negro grew OBJ
streperous and became involved in a
difficulty with the operator. The ne
gro then left Mount Zion, but return
ed early tonight with a crowd of ne
groes, who surrounded the little sta
tion and threatened to kill Porter.
Being alone Porter wired the op-
orator at Spartanburg that he was
surrounded, and the negroes were
shooting into the block house, and
begged that aii be sent at once.
= Whipped and Choked Operator.
Just as he finished the message the
door was forced open and a gang OF
negro men rushed in, seized him, and,
dragging him outside, whipped and
choked him..
Deputy Sheriff White and an arm
ed party left here early tonight on a
special train and later he was fol-
lowed by Sheriff Nichols and party
of citizens. Assistance was also sent
from Cowpens, a party getting on
the fast mail, No. 81, and being let
off at Mount Zion. Large crowds
gathered from Clifton and Converse.
It is said that fully 500 citizens
went to the scene Of the trouble, but
when they arrived the negroes had
dispersed. The woods are being
thoroughly searched for the negroes
who took part in the outrage, and 1t
is expected that several arrests will
be made. Sheriff Nichols has perfect
control Of the posse and there will be
no lynchings or killings.
BNoodhounds Sent.
At midnight the posse is still
searching for the negroes. A pack of
bloodhounds have been sent to the
scene Of the trouble.
Mount Zion is a small telegraph
Station in lonely section of country;
on the main line Of the Southern. 1t

Whose Candidacy for the Speaker
ship Of the Lower House is Meet
ing With Unprecedented Favor.

John r. Howard was born in
Winthrop, Maine, in 1910, and is there
for sixty-six years of age, but is as
strong and active both mentally and
physically as an ordinary man at
fifty. He is a sturdy representative
OF that genuine old New England
stock that has been so potent a
factor in developing the Nations
greatness, possessing all its strong
traits, but broadened by wide ex-
perience and long western association.
He was educated in the common
schools and in the Towle Academy
OF his native city.
He came to Wisconsin in 1853 and
worked on farm for two years, in
those days when farmers worked
sixteen hours day, cut their grain
with a cradle, raked and bound it by
hand and moved their hay with a
scythe. Young Howard although
only eighteen years old. took mans
part in the stern labor of those days
and was famous for the amount OF
work he could accomplish.

but they not only did not contribute
a cent to his campaign but fought
him at every turn. The voters in the
southern part OF the state did not take
kindly to his views on drainage and
good roads and the voters in the
northern part of the state did not
rally to his support as expected. The
Herald believes that a mistake was
made and one that will be more and
more apparent as time goes on. AS a
matter of fact the defeat of Mr.. Cole,
the winning of the second district and
the increase of democratic members
in the legislature has given the demo-
cratic party new lease of life and
there will be battle royal all along
the line two years hence and it is in
cumbent on the republican legislature
of this state and the republican con-
gress to get busy and do some of the
things that the people want performed,
or Minnesota will be a doubtful state
in the next campaign.
