Negro Strung Up.

Tillar, July "a mob COM
posed of between 80 and 100 men
last night lynched William An
derson, negro, seventeen years
of age, who assaulted Mrs. Emily
Crawford, white, at her home
three miles below Tillar on the
railroad Saturday afternoon. The
negro was hanged from an im-
provised arm of a telegraph pole,
and his body was left hanging
until late today, hence was view
ed by hundreds of persons, white
and black, No arrests have been
made in connection with the
mob's act, and it is merely guess
work, apparently, as to who COM
posed the lynching party. 1t is
known that the mob made sure
that Anderson was the guilty
negro, He was taken twice
before the victim of his assault
and each time be was idend-
fed as the assailant After the
second identification, the negro
was taken out and lynched.
The assault upon Mrs. Craw-
ford Saturday afternoon was
particularly atrocious. Mrs.
Crawford is a respected widow
and while she was alone in her
room the negro attacked her in a
violent manner.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS

Hereby have their attention
respectfully Cs'led to the fact
that the school law requires
them to make their annual re-
port to the County Examiner
between the first and twentieth Of
July. The eleventh has now ar
rived and, at this writing, only
four reports have reached ne.
These are for districts Is, p, At,
and 72. The financial part Of
each Of these reports shows that
more money was received from
Che State than that derived from
focal taxation. | think these
districts are average districts. !
think the reports from the entire
county will tell the same story.
This means that a two-mill State
tax, supplemented to a very small
extent by the poll tax and three
per cent interest on the common
school fund, amounts, in most
Sharp County districts, to more
than five mills special local tax.
This evidently shows US that
We are standing IN our own light,
if we fail to vote for the proposed
amendment, which provides for
a three-mill State tax.
Respectfully,

Road Tax Amendment Valid.

Little Rock, Ark, July 10
The Supreme Court yesterday
handed down a decision declar-
ing the road tax amendment
to the state constitution valid,
and thereby making It possible
for the state Of Arkansas to ey-
pend annually in the work Of
improving the roads Of the state
a sum which is estimated at pres
ent at 100000. This decision is
regarded as one of the most in-
p0rtant ever rendered by the Su-
preme court, inasmuch as the
state would have been left with
practically no funds to he used
in the improvement Of Of the
roads and streets Of the state,
had the amendment been declar-
ed void.
The decision, which was rem
dered by Chief Justice Hill, was
concurred in by all the members
of the court, 1t was rendered in
the suit brought by the Cotton
Belt Railroad against G. C, Kava"
naugh, sheriff and ex-officio col
Iector Of Pulaski county. The
suit was instituted in the Pulaski
Chancery Court, and Chancellor
Hart rendered a decision several
weeks ago holding the amend
ment valid. An appeal was ta-
ken to the Supreme Court by the
railroad, and the decision render
ed yesterday aiiirms the judg-
ment Of the lower court.

Pensacola showed poor team work
and seemed to lose confidence after
the first touch down by Mobile, after
five minutes play. However, during
the time the ball was in the hands
of the High School boys they showed
grit and force in their ply. Their op.
ponents were too heavy however.
The feature of the game was a
double and forward pass on the part
or Mobile. which netted thirty-fve

with only FIVE seconds to play.
Roberts and Bell played fine ball for
Pensacola. while Chamberlain and
