Presence of Chief Executive
Fails to Save Negro From
Lynching
HAD ASSAULTED TWO GIRLS
Posss Of Men at Greenwood, S. c.,
Cheer Appeal of Gov. Heyworth to
Refrain From Mob Violence and
Then Riddle Body Of Victim With
Hundreds Of Bullets.

Columbia S. c. Aug. lin the hear
ing and almost in the presence OF GOV.
Heyworth. Robert Davis. negro was
lynched at Greenwood, last night.
Davis, who Oh Monday attacked two
girls. was surrounded in a swamp
"Wednesday night and captured yester-
day. Governor Hayward reached the
scene soon after the capture of the ne
gro.
A platform was erected in fence
corner on the premises OF the father OF
of one of the girls. From this plat
form Governor Hayward addressed the
mob in an effort to prevent the lynch
ing. The governor beseeched the mob
not to lynch Davis.
At the conclusion of his speech the
governor was cheered. The mob then
removed the prisoner from the view
of the governor and within short dis
lance of the home of his victim the
negro was riddled with bullets.
1t was impossible to estimate the
crowd as citizens from several counties
had gathered at the scene and for two
days had been in pursuit OF the negro,
but it is certain that hundreds of bull
let's were sent thru his body. The mi
litia in that section OF the state Is now
encamped at Chickamauga and there
were no nearby troops to be called up
on.
THE governors guards and the Rich
land Volunteers OF this city had been
ordered to hold themselves in readiness
in the event that their services were
needed but the mob was determined.
The attack by Davis on Miss Brooks
was made in her fathers store, where
she was temporarily in charge. After
making some purchases, the negro
grasped meat knife and sprang tow
ard the girl. Miss Brooks attempted to
defend herself with an iron bar. but
the negro slashed her across the
throat making a cash four inches long
and almost severed two of her fingers.
Afterward he went three miles to
another farm and attacked a 14-year-
old negro girl. A posse of 1000 men
started in pursuit of the negro soon
after the outrage at the Brooks store
and finally captured him yesterday af-
ternoon near Ninety-Six, a town nine
miles from Greenwood.

CLAIMS PULLMAN TAX,
Chicago Files Big Claim Against the
Car Company.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-'rhat Chicago is
the home OF Pullman cars and that
they should be taxed here was the
claim made yesterday by Corporation
Counsel Lewis when he attacked the
valuation of the Pullman company
before the board of review. He con-
tended that the fact that car jour-
neys from state to state on regular
or irregular trips did not exempt it
from taxation in Chicago.
In addition to demanding the tax
alton of cars, Lewis insisted that the
company pay taxes ON S2a,000,000 OF
capital stock, sao,oO0.oOo surplus and
back taxes on S1,650,000. He also took
up the conpany's real estate. some of
which is held by the Pullman assocfa-
ton. When the Pullman case was
called by President Upham of the
board OF review, counsel for the COM
panys we're unable to answer questions
put to them by Lewis and the case
was therefore continued until Friday.

Toledo, O., Aug. 16.-The eXamina-

commission in the investigation into
the actions of the railroads and ice
companies. Officers of the Toledo Car

liable for the acts Of the old company

his associates, as, so far, there Is no
evidence of the present company hav-

was sentenced to the work house for
conspiracy in restraint Of trade, testi-
fed that he bought ice from Michigan

railroads, and that he paid this year

TO PROTECT RED CROSS.
Use Of Insignia for Commercial Pur-
pose Likely to be Stopped.

Washington, Aug. T-Antiseptic
barber shops, pharmacies and patent
medicine manufacturers in the United
States will be compelled to cease us
ing the Red Cross as trade mark
IL the convention agreed upon at the
recent annual Red Cross conference
in Geneva is lived up to in every de-
tail by the United States. This con-
vention provided that each OF the
signatory countries shall do all in their
power to bring about legislation pre-.
venting the use of the Red Cross In
sigma for any commercial purpose. 1t
was suggested at the convention that
such laws be put into effect within
five years. Nearly all other countries
have safeguarded the insignia of the
Red Cross very carefully except the

AT the expiration Of his term Sparks

The farmer residents of that localt-

were unable to open up Wide-open

J. C. Hubbards position with refer

hibition law was neutral, and Sparks
succeeded In buying from him partly

decided upon another line Of action,
and if they are successful in carrying
out their threats Sparksville will be
surrounded by an incorporated city and
by a vote of the council to be estaD-s
lished, will be taken in as an addition,
but even this move will not guarantee
that the saloon will be forced out OF

If an election were held within the
limits of Sparksville there would be no
doubt as to the outcorne-the saloon
keeper and his two bartenders would
have full control of the city govern

Sheriff Sparks has no interest IN the
fight, other than to keep the miners at
work in his properties.
