saved from a Mob.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 81. Only by
mad dash 10 big touring car at mid
night from Fort Mcpherson to the tower
in Atlanta, q distance of four miles,
saved Will Troy, the suspected assailant
of Mrs. John A. KENNEL, from the hands
of mob last night. The negro was cap
tured in Oakland City, the scene of the
assault, at 10 O'Clock. At II O'Clock
mob stormed the jail and took him out.
1t was while the five hundred armed men
were en- route to the KENNEL home tor
the purpose of having Mrs. KENNEL
identity the man that Marshal Ryan
aod county officers stepped INTO the mob
and yanked the negro into the fort
reservation which the mob was passing.
A member of the mob shot at Marshal
Ryan. but Officer Wright knocked the
gun up and the shot went into the air.
The firing attracted the guard on patrel,
and the negro was rushed to the federal
guard house, the mob not daring to fool
with federal troops.
The fort officers and Governor Terrell,
who were at the banquet rendered Will
liam j. Bryan, were communicated with
and they ordered out the State troops.
Adjutant Burton Smith, who was toast
master, called out companies A, K and
L and special street cars we're rushed to
the armory to take them out. Sheriff
Nelms and Deputies Daniel and Nc
Donald rushed back to the fort and per-
suaded the officers TO let them put the
negro in the bottom of touring car. In
a wild fight, the touring car with its
occupants crouching low and running at
a rate of fifty miles an hour, shot through
the mob, narrowly missing some. No
shots we're fred, the mob never suspect
ing the machioe carried the negro. The
special trolley cars were met, the situa.
ton was explained by the sheriff and
the troops returned to their srmory.
This is the seventh assault which has
been committed upon white woman by
negro in tho past six months.
While Troy was being rushed TO safety
from the mob Luther Frazier, negro,
aged q, entered the home of I. l..
Bryan, on Oourtland street, last night,
not dozen blocks from the place where
w. ]. Bryan's banquet was being held,
and after driving the older women from
the house attempted to assault Miss
Bryan, aged ia, and was only prevented
from accomplishing his purpose by the
girl jumping into a closet and locking
the door from the inside.
It was the most daring attempt ever
made 10 Georgia, and the women of At
lanta are today in frenzy of terror at the
bOldness of the crime. The women are
alone in the house when the negro walk
ed boldly 10 and grabbed at Miss Bryan.
The mother and other daughter who
we're near an open door dashed out and
began screaming, Miss Orrie Bryan
Jumped into the closet and locked the
door.
The negro grabbed heavy shoe tree
and began beating on the door in an
effort to break down and get at his vic
tim. The mothers screams attracted
officers who rushed ia and caught the
negro in the act of beating on the door.
He was bound over under $4,000 bond
tor assault with intent TO rape.

ORDERS HAVE been given for the
abandonment of Fort Brown al Browns.
Vile, Texas, and Company II of the
26th infantry, the only troops there, has
been ordered to Fort Sam Houston, near
San Antonio, for station. Company Ii
was sent to Fort Brown when the coloied
troops of the 18th infantry were ordered
from that post TO Fort Reno, Okla. The
colored troops we're transferred because OF
trouble with the residents of Browns
Vile, who resented their rude and i'm
pertinent conduct toward number OF

The DEMOCRATIC campaign handbook
will be issued by the democratic con-
gressionsl campaign committee next
week. 1t is said that tariff revision an d
the trusts will be the main topics of dis
cussion in the book. The democratic
managers are said to have reached the
conclusion that tariff revision is the weak
spot in the republican armor, and they
are aiming every shaft at it. One oil
the campaign documents upon which
the democratic managers set great store
is the compilation Of Representative
Gaines. of West Virginia, entitled
"5tand Pat and Anti.Stand Pat" many
hundred thousands OF which are being
circulated. The document goes back to
1867, quoting eminent republicans as
being opposed to permanently maintain
ing high rates OF duty. Lincoln, John
Sherman, Allison, Blaine, Garfield,
Washburn and many others are cited in
remarks tending to indicate the neces-
sity of revision. There is great demand
also for the speech of Charles A Towpe,
which is being distributed in vast num-
bers. Mr.. TOwne's speech covers all
subjects upon which the democrats desire
to touch, from labor TO Roosevelt. Up
to date the democrats have published aud
sent out some IL or IA speeches and
documents, while the republicans, it is
understood, have published less than
half a dozen. 1t is also said that the
democrats are sending out greater num-
bers OF the different varieties.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. q, 1906.

ANOTHER Virginia newspaper has
come to grief, the Old Dominion Print
ing Company, publishers Of the Char
lottesville Morning News, which made its
debut last November, having yesterday
made an assignment 1t has long been
recognized that there are too many news
papers in this country already, and many
of those being published 10 the smaller
cities and towns have hard struggle for
existence. It's easy enough to start a
newspaper, but it's frequently hard
enough to keep the thing going. People
with ambition to crafty, or with griev-
ances to redress, or with schemes to
promote, can easily imagine that a
clamorous public demand exists for a
new paper in the community. They
forget that the reading men or wo-
man don't change their newspaper
habits over night any more than they
cast off one set of friends and take on
another set between sunset and dawn.
Millions OF dollars have been expend'
ed in the United States during the
past ten years in starting superhuous
papers, in trying to keep their head
above water, and in administering ny
perdermic injection of cold cash. When
the hackers get tired of the hopeless
struggle, suspension or sale or merger
with some other publication takes place.
The situation recalls Horace Greeley's
poem:
