NEGRO CAP fURED AND Is LYNCRED,
The AssaIamt of Miss Jennie Brooks and
Negro Girl Near Greenwood, Sc,
Meets Death at Hands of Mob,

Greenville, S c., Aug. 17.-De-
spite the presence of Governor
Hey ward, at Greenwood, who
plead with great earnestness for
the sake of God, for the sake of
the fair name of South Carolina
to let the law take its course, a
crowd of over one thousand deter
mined men shot to death last
afternoon Bob Davis, the negro
fiend who attempted criminal as
sault on Miss Jennie Brooks Tues
day morning and almost murder
ed her by cutting h er throat.
Search for Davis had been unre-
(entlng since Tuesday, but it had
seemed all day that Davis would
get away. The searching party
aad dropped i'll numbers, but
those who renamed were deter.
mined. This afternoon q party
tracked Davis to a creek three
miles south of Ninety.Six and
three of the party got in the creek
and waded down looking for fur
ther traces.
Some one Of them discovered a
human form crouching on
shelving bank washed out by the
creek. 1t was DAVIS. He was
dragged out, egglng them not to
shoot; several knew him PERSONAL
ly.
He was taken to the home of
Miss Brooks and was at once iden-
tilted by her, Governor Hayward,
who had reached the scene, plead
ed with the mob to let the law
take It's course, but it was no use.
They paid him all respect while
he was talking, but immediately
turned their backs upon him
when he had finished. The Sher-
III also was present and tried to
talk to the crowd, but all to no
purpose.
The negro was led off down
the road, out of sight of the Gov
ernor and preparations made for
ending his life. The girls father
want ID to burn him and many in
the CT wd were for it, but all we're
not fully determined. The Gov
ernor, hearing the talk of burning,
sick at heart, tried to go to the
scene to do something to prevent
it but friends would not let him go,
telling him that he had done all

Conductor Mistakes white Man for
Negro. Trouble Follows.
SUIT AGAINST A. & N. C.

Summons has been issued
against the Atlanta & North Caro-
lima Company by G. Bailey,
father of Ross Bailey, of this city,
in a suit for damages resulting
from alleged gross insults and an
assault on young Bailey by Con-
ductor Hancock about a month
ago. The amount ~of damages
asked has not been learned.
According to eye witnesses the
occurrence out of which the &C
tion grows is about as follows:
Conductor Hancock was III charge
of No, 3. the afternoon passenger
train to Morehead, and when it
arrived at Kinston station Oh the
afternoon in question there was
a large crowd to get off and a
large crowd to get on. Among
the latter was Katie Bailey, d
small sister of Ross Bailey. Ii
her hurry to get on she was sep
arated from her brother in the
crowd aud he had her ticket. She
had taken seat in the car and
called for him from the window
to bring the ticket, which he
started to do, when, in starting
up the steps, he was told by the
conductor to stand back out of
the way. Ross insisted that he
had business on the train, that
his little sister was on, and he
wanted to give her her ticket.
Conductor Hancock then said to
Bailey, "We'll go around to the
other end of the car where you
cling" meaning the depart
ment for the colored people.
Ross resented the imputation
and said to Capt: Hancock:
"N hat do you take me for.''
Capt. Hancock replied, Il take
you for a d niger, that's
what. -
Ross then replied, "You are a
liar" and each advanced on the
other and licks were passed when
friends interfered and stcpred the
scrap, explaining to Hancock that
he hap made mistake.
Apology was made by the con-
ductor and accepted by Mr. Bailey
and after full explanation both
expressed regret at the occurrence,

versities to pervert the public schools
from their legitimate function Of pre-
pairing for life to the illegitlmate func-
ton of preparing for a university is a
crying evil. 1t overloads the public

impossible and wastes the time of the
great majority of the pupils. The
schools are constantly spurred into
