DORSEY TAYLOR ID HANG NOVEMBER 15 Attacked Deaf and Dumb Girl
 Near Greensboro JURY OUT TEN MINUTES Ben Campbell Is Crushed to Death Between Two Cars at Selma.
 Leaves a Bride of
 Six Months.

Selma. october (Specal.)-Today in Greensboro occurred the trial of Dorsey Taylor. the negro who about a month ago attacked the deaf and dumb daugh- ter of Ali Johnson, a respected farmer living about four miles west of Greens doors. everybody being excluded except doors, everybody being excluded eXsept court officials, attorneys and witnesses.
 The jury was out only about ten minutes and returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Miller immediately sentenced the negro to hang on Friday, November To. There was no attempt of any sort to take the law in their own hands by the good people of Greensboro.
 Young Man Killed.
 Ben Campbell. well known white man, car reparer for the Southern Rail- way. was killed this afternoon by being mashed to death between two cars. He leaves a young wife. having been married only about six months.
 Lawrence to Speak.
 The first gun for prohibition agitation in Selma will be fired Sunday when Rev. Brooks Lawrence and Rev. w. B. Crumpton will be the speakers. These two ministers will occupy the pulpits of local churches Sunday morning and night and Sunday evening they will hold a big rally in the Academy of Music. There is d strong prohibition sentiment in Selma, but there are many who do not think that the time between now and January 1, when the liquor men would have to go out of business is sufficient to justify an election until after that date
 It is probable that the plan will ma terialze for an election to be called some where about January or the latter part of that month. To call 1t before the new year giving the whisky mon only about 30 days to wind up their business, it, is thought by many would do harm to the cause and might jedardize the sue cess that otherwise might seem possi- hlo
