Sevcnteen-Year-Old Black Lad At
tackled White Girl in Texas.

Greenville, TeXas.-Ted Smith, a
seventeen-year-old negro boy, who
assaulted Miss Viola Delaney three
miles from Greenville, was burned at
the stake in the public square here in
broad daylight.
Miss Delaney is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Delaney, living
three miles southwest of Greenville.
While her father was in tae field
blowing and her mother was visiting
at neighbours house, a short dis
lance away, the girl started out to
the rural mail box, 500 yards from
her home.
When she reached a point near the
mail box the negro came out from his
hiding place in the woods, held pis-
tol at her face and attacked her.
After the crime he tried to make
his escape. but the girl ran to the
house and gave the alarm. Soon
there were about 500 men, together
with the officers. searching and scour-
Ing the Cadde Creek bottom for the
negro. He was captured and put in
jail
The news that the negro was in
jail soon leaked out, and the people
began to congregate faster and pour
in from the rural districts, until the
throng swelled to 5000 or 5000 by s
o'clock in the morning.
The peace officers did all they
could to save the prisoners life, and
speeches were made in the public
square by District Judge r. L. Porter
and District Judge r. D. Montrose,
who promised that a special Grand
Jury would be empanelled, the negro
tried, and, if convicted. would be
hanged by law, all in one day.
This did not satisfy the crowd, and
they demanded of Sheriff Hemsell
that he send the negro out to the
girls home and let her identify him,
or else they would take him by force.
About dozen officers started with
the prisoner. They made the trip
and on their return reached the Jail
door. when the crowd pressed for
ward, overpowered the officers and
took the prisoner, dragged him to
the public square and burned him.

Injunctions and Labor.
What they have not the right to DO

ness by use of threats or methods of
physical duress against those who
would work for him, or deal with
him, or by carrying on what is some
times known as a secondary boycott
against his customers or those with
whom he deals in business. All those
who sympathize with them may unite
to aid them in their struggle, but they
may not through the instrumentality
OF a threatened or actual boycott
compel third persons against their
will and having no interest in their
controversy to come to their assist

great many years been settled by the
courts of this country.
Threatened unlawful injuries to
business, like those described above.
can only be adequately remedied by
an injunction to prevent them.
Asiatic Immigration.
In the matter of the limitation
upon Asiatic immigration. referred to
in the Democratic platform, it is suf-
ficient to say that the present Repnb-
lican Administration has shown itself
able to minimize the evils suggested.
For an Income Tax.
In my judgment an amendment to
the Constitution for an income tax is
not necessary. ! believe that an in
come tax can and should be devised
which under the decisions of the SUI
preme Court will conform to the Con-
stitutiop.
Election of Senators.
With respect to the election of
Senators by the people, personally l
am inclined to favor it, but it is hard
ly party question.
The Conclusion.
As said in our platform, we Repub-
licans go before the country, said
Judge Taft, asking the support, not
only of those who have acted with US
heretofore, but of all our fellow citi-
zens. whom, regardless of past politi-
cal differences, unite in the desire to
maintain the policies, perpetuate the
blessings and make secure the
achievements of greater America.
With the speech over, the scene
was shifted for the review of the par
ade. Judge Taft took his stand and
watched the marchers pass by for
nearly two hours.
