and would attempt to take Hill from
the Jail at jamestown. He was
lqnckly taken into the woods several
miles east and held until the follow
ling lhorping. In the meantime the
jail at jamestown was visited by a
mob, an hundred strong, the doors
were broken down and finding that
Hill had been removed, the mob be-
gan search of the residences of the
town.
Fearing the mob, the Russell coun-
ty officers, instead of returning with
the prisoner, took him overland fifty
miles away to Monticello. On Mon
day night it was learned that mob
was on its way to Monticello and
Jailer Ramsey and Sheriff Wright re-
moved the prisoner from the Jail and
started for lexington with him.
They were intercepted, however, and
informed that the mob had gotten as
far as the Cumberland river and be
ing unable to cross, returned home.
Thought He Would Be Safe.
1t was then felt that Hill would be
safe at Monticello and he was re-
turned to that point. Parties were
stationed at the most favorable river
crossing to notify the officers at
Monticello, but the mob evidently
knowing of the action of the officers,
took an entirely different route,
PREACHING Monticello at IL o'clock
Wednesday night at an unexpected
time.
Practically all of the people were
asleep and knew nothing of the pres
ence of the mob until this morning.
The jail was visited by twenty six
armed men who called Jailer Ramsey
to the door on the pretense that they
had prisoner. The officer was
covered with Winchesters and forced
to unlock the door and point out the
cell Of Elemr Hill. Crouched in a
one corner Hill begged the mob to
show him mercy and to spare his life.
Confessed at Last Moment.
He was placed behind member of
the mob on horseback and carried to
Greasy Greek, where the rope was
looped around his neck and. thrown
high oyer ipab. Not until this was
done did he confess his guilt. He
was twenty-se,en years of age and
came Ct good parentage.
Some years ago he was arrested
on the charge of assauiting school
gal, but broke jail and eluded arrest
for two years. When he returned the
matter had died out and he was not
tried.
His body was cut down at 10
fo'clock yesterday morning by the
Coroner of Russell county. The mob
which hanged Hill rode fifty miles
over mountains and through thickets
for the purpose of accomplishing its
object.

A Personal Tribute.
As we write this, the funeral SER
vices over the remains of Mrs. Mary
Virginia Ecton miss Jennie as she
was lovingly called) is in progress at
the Presbyterian church. The min
listers are Rev.. j. H. Mac Neill, pas
tor of the Christian church to which
Mrs. Ecton belonged and her former
nNstor, Rev. C. j. Armstrong, now
Troy, New York.
Her son, Devices did not arrive
from his home In Minneapolis in time
to see his mother alive.
We are writing in sorrow and hu-
mihation--sorrow because the life of
this good woman is no more. Humilis
alton because we did not appreciate
here while she lived as we should
have done. We were sometimes an
'noyed by her spersistency; but now
that she is dead, and in going over in
opr mind the many things in which
she wanted our sympathy and sup
port, she never asked anything for
herself.
If it be possible for anyone to be
entirely devoid of selfshness, Mrs.
Ecton was that one. In her broad
humanity all classes were the same,
she had no prejudices. She loved
the black race as she did her own
race. It Is impossible for us to give
to her the tribute that her character
justly deserves.

LONDON, July 1.-THE cononial

have been much shocked at the empti-

have strongly commented on the fact
that the only churches which are full

high" churches where the ritual Is
elaborate and the methods OF the cler-
gy eccentric, those In which the SER
mons are invariably sensational, and
the free" churches whore politics are
openly discussed.

TO secure good congregation. FIR.
