Another Outbreak Monday
Night in Western Part
of County.
J. D. COLEMAN VICTIM.
Was Preparing to Ship Part
nership Tobacco to
GAINESVILLE.

A band of night riders burned a
large barn on the Sypert place,
about two miles east of Pee Dee
Monday night about midnight.
Residents of the vicinity are retic-
ent in regard to the facts, but ne
groes are quoted as having reported
that fully 100 passed through Pee
Dee. Another report is that there
were about Is in the party, which is
probably nearer the truth.
The barn contained the share
crops of Frank Coleman and Dave
McGraw, colored troopers for Jas.
d. Coleman of GAINESVILLE, who owns
this farm and the Jesse Carter place
near Roaring Springs.
The negroes had tried to- put
their tobacco in the association, but
it is said Mr.. Coleman had ordered
it packed and shipped to GAINESVILLE.
One report is that the negroes pro-
tested against this and asked that
the crops be divided in the barn,
but Mr.. Coleman sent empty hogs
heads and ordered the tobacco to
be hand packed and shipped to him,
to be sold at 10 cents.
During the fire loud detonations
were heard, and it is supposed that
the hogsheads or bulks were blown
to pieces with dynamite. The light
was plainly seen by night watchmen
in this city.
Anather barn on the same farm
containing the crop of Green Long,
COL, was not burned. Long was
busy Tuesday trying to get the
crop divided so he could turn his
part over to the association.
A white man, James Ward, oper-
ates the Carter farm and he refused
to allow his share crop to be sold
outside Of the association.
The tobacco in the three barns
was insured for $3.50 with Edmund
& Buchanan of this city, with a riot
clause in the policy.
The loss is not known but there
was probably at least 10000 pounds
and the barn was worth about
$500. The total loss was probably
81 500 or more.

WALKED IN SLEEP
And Thieves Got Combina-
ton of Safe.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.-A unique
confession was made yesterday to
A. F. Thomson, cashier Of the Ma
tional Bank of Hattiesburg, by
James Harper and w. 7, Smith,
bank robbers, brought back from
Seattle, where they were caught af-
ter long chase.
Harper says the bank cashier
walked in his sleep. He and Smith
watched the bank for several nights.
according to their confession, and
frequently witnessed Thomson en-
ter with the aid of his door key.
They never dreamed that he was
not in full possession of his senses
until they saw him under an electric
light with his eyes closed.
Then the robbers say they con-
ceived plan to enter the bank with
Thomson and to gag him if he
came out of his trance. They de-
clare that Thomson gave them the
combination to the safe, which they
looted, and that they left, leaving
Thomson asleep in the bank.

TAFT CERTAIN
To be Nominee, Says Sena-

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
McCreary said, in an interview today
that Taft will be the Republican Pre-
sidential nominee. There is no dam
ger of war between the United
States and Japan, according to Sena-
tor McCreary, who is member of
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations.
The most prominent men of Japan,
who have recently visited this coun-
try" said the Senator, ''have assurs
ed us that Japan entertains only the
best of feeling of friendship for
America, and many Americans of
prominence, who have visited the
Mikado's empire lately, report that
there is no sign of enmity against
the United States on the part of the
japanese people. l do not believe
there is any good excuse for the war
talk whatsoever. 1t does a great
deal of harm"

Caught in the Act of Placing
Dynamite Under Reggie
House.
GUARDS DEADLY AIM.
Three In the Gang and Two
of Them Are Instantly
Killed.

Two negroes were shot and killed
about midnight Tuesday night while
trying to dynamite the Reggie facto-
ry of Hayes-Sory Co. in GAINESVILLE.
The shooting was done by a guard.
named Ed Shanklin, a relative of the
policeman of the same name in this
city. Shanklin opened fire with a
pistol in each hand, firing at three
men in the act of setting fire to the
fuse already laid, and two were
brought down. They were found to
be GAINESVILLE negroes known as Bad
Eye" and "Toney" Allen. One
was bad character generally and
one had recently been discharged by
the company.
Examination showed that they
had saturated the wooden door of
the brick building with oil and placed
dynamite sticks ready to touch off.
Other dynamite sticks and pieces of
fuse were found on the dead bodies
of the negroes.
The attack occurred about mid
night, when the three guards were
in the habit of eating lunch. Two
were inside and Shanklin was on
guard alone.
Shanklin detected the three men
about to set fire to the fuse and ask
ed what they were doing. They at
once ran and he pursued, a Al colt in
each hand. They turned a corner
and after running the full length of
the building he dropped one and
kept after the other two. Fifty
yeards further he killed the second
one and took a shot at the remain
ing one who gave a yell but kept
going and escaped. It is believed
