of the distance our hand covers while

him, the average man or woman writes
about thirty words minute, which
with the up and down strokes and
curves, represent something like tivf
yards, or 300 yards an hour. A person
therefore, using his pen for, say two

WHITES AND BLACKS
IN DEADLY CONFLICT
Five Killed at ReidsvilIe, Ga, in
Fierce Encounter.
BRUTAL ATTACK ON A WIDOW

Tragedy occurred at Home of John
Pagett, Where Crowd of
Whites Went to Seek Elem Pa
gett, CoIored.
Claxton, Ga. - In an attempt to
avenge an assault on Mrs. Laura
Moore, a white widow, mob at TAFT
nails killed the father, mother, two
brothers and a sister of the suspect,
Elem Pagett negro. The lynchers
did not escape injury, one white man
being killed and several wounded.
About fifteen citizens surrounded
the house of Sim Pagett, father of
the suspect who they thought was
harboring him. They demanded of
Pagett's wife to be allowed to search
the house.
Permission was given, but when
the posse advanced 70 within thirty
feet of the house Pagett and the
other negro men on the inside of the
building opened fire on the posse, in
stantly killing John Hare and Sc
riously wounding Barlow Preston.
They shot out James Daniels eye
and wounded him in the shoulder and
arm.
The fire was returned by the men,
bers of the posse, killing Sim Pagett,
one of his girls about ten years old,
and a son twenty years old, and
wounding two other girls about six
and thirteen years DID, also shooting
one of Pagett's boys, aged twenty
two, through the hip.
When all the ammunition of the
POSSE had been exhausted they re-
ired, leaving one of their number
lead and carrying off three wounded.
The negroes were still shooting.
The news spread like wildfire, and
soon there were 500 men on the
Icene, with rifles, shotguns and pis-
OILS. A searching party started in
pursuit of the two negroes, one of
hem wounded, who escaped from the
house after the shooting. One of
hem was captured and taken before
Mrs. Moore, but she failed to identify
aim as her assailant. Later DR.. j.
L. Kennedy identified him as the ne
gro whom he saw shoot Mr.. Hare,
and lynching looked inevitable. The
crowd finally decided to let the law
take its course, and Deputy Sheriff E.
J. Elmer left with all the negroes for
The Reidsville Jail.
On the way the officer was over
taken by about seventy-five men and
the prisoners were demanded. There
was no other alternative, and the
prisoners were taken by the mob.
One woman was told to run, and as
she did so she was riddled with bull
let's. Her son was wounded so that
he could not run and was shot to
pieces in the public road.

Third Fatal Accident at Steel Com

six months, shortly before 6 O'Clock

No. l to explode.
Five charred bodies burned to a
crisp are at the county morgue, two
of whom were assistant superintend-
ents. Another, an assistant superin-
tendent, is badly injured, and four
other workmen are at the Mercy Hos
pital, all of whom will likely die.
OF the five charred and blackened
bodies at the morgue it is possible to
identify only the two assistant super
intendents from papers and letters
found in their clothing, some of
which, in an unaccountable manner,
were not destroyed, although the bod
les are so horribly burned as to be
past recognition.
The dead are; E. B. Willard, chief
mechanic, with title of assistant SUI

tendent, and three unknown men.

both make exceedingly dainty and

lose its place, and near by a single

parted in the middle and drawn back
over her large forehead. Her eyes
were little and deeply set, but they
sparkled and blinked as they super
vised the work of her large, hardened

satin.
