was brought to the Jail and despite
the pleadings of the county officials,
who promised speedy trial, the mob
shortly afterwards battered the doors
OF the jail and securing Patton, hang
ed him to a telegraph pole.
A mob of upwards of 100 men and
boys organized in a way that indicated
a determination TO have the negro at
any cost and repaired to the jail at
hah-past O'Clock. The mob was adj
dressed at the Jail by Judge W. A.
Roane ia an earnest effort to persuade
them to let the law take its course.
and again promising a speedy trial on
next Monday, which is the first day of
Circuit Court, of which Judge Roane
is the presiding head
The judge painted the horrors of
mob rule and the rights of the law to
administer punishment fo- crime and
pleaded most earnestly with the
mob. Following the Judges address.
Ex-United States Senator W. V Sui
Ivan spoke to the mob and counseled
the immediate execution of the ne
gro. A rush was then made on the
Jail, and no resistance being met with
the officers were quickly oyerpowered
and the front door broken down.
Hartsfield did not have the key and
left. Sledge-hammers and cold chiSels
were then procured from blacksmith
shops and a determined attack begun
on the steel doors. This was slow
work, however. and it required much
labor to force an entrance through
this barrier. The negro meanwhile,
was in his cell and could hear every
stroke of the men as brawny arms
welded the siedge. and could meas
ure his span of life by the ringing
strokes of the frenZied men just with

confined, The officers, seeing that
further resistance on their part was
worse than useless. left the Jail and

Washington, Sept 9-The legal
proceedings against President Samuel
Gompers, Secretary Frank Morrison,
and John Mitchell, of the American
Federation of Labor, in which they
are charged With contempt of the
supreme court of the District of Co.
lum bia, on account of acts and utter
ances apropos of the judgment of that
court directing them to cease publish
ing the name of the Bucks Stove and
Range Company in their We do not
patronize" list, were virtually post
poned for two weeks, after a brief
hearing today.
Justice Gould, of the supreme
court, presided. The postponement
was taken at the instance of the
stove company and in opposition to
the expressed wish of Gompers and
his associates.
IDer to take testimony, gave each side
50 days, and announced his willing
ness TO sit in the case after the facts
had been ascertained.
Widespread interest has been taken
in the case in view of the labor issues
involved. Former Presidential Candt-
date Alton B. Parker Of New York,
who headed the democratic national
ticket in 1904, IS chief counsel for the
IeOefaJlOn- and notable array of
counsel were in court J. w Van
Cleave, the president of the petition
ing company Is also president of the
National Manufacturers Association
The injunction proceedings had
their inception last November when
Mr. Van Cleave asked the court, JUS
tice Gould presiding, to prohibit the
federation from advertising organized
labor that the company was unfair to
its employees and from printing that
advice in the -Federationist," the Of
fetal organ of the federation.
The injunction was issued by the
court and made permanent. The la
Dor officials, however. appealed to the
public, setting forth why they did not
comply with the terms of the in
junction. Mr. GOmpers has published
several official pTOnunciamentOs since
then, going into details in the matter
Judge Parker has been here since
Monday night in conference with the

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Called Upon to
Adjust Them.
Mobile Given a Lower Rate
on Fish to Alabama Points
Than Pensacola, and the
Southern Express Co., Has
Been Cited by the Com
mission.

The Southern Express Co. upon
complaint of local shippers has been
cited by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to show cause why it is
charging a higher rate Oh shipments
of fish from Pensacola to Alabama
points than from Mobile TO the same
places, and it is expected that at an
early date the company viii make
answer.
Some weeks ago the Alabama Rail
road Commission made a rate on fish
shipments from Mobile to points in
the state, lowering the rate to such
an extent that il is about 50 cents per
hundred cheaper than the rate afford
ed Pensacola to the same points. The
express company obeyed the order of
the Alabama commission, and as d
result there is discrimination against
the wholesale fish dealers here who
cannot compete il prices with those
of Mobile
After endeavOTing to get the same
rate for their shipments as applied
TO Mobile, one of the local fish houses
decided to take the matter up with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Southern Express Co. has
now been cfted 10 show cause why it
discriDinates in IT'S rates 10 tae dis
advantage of Pensacola.

The following special from Mont

the matter:

fore that body
The question grows out of the diff
ference in the rates on fish from Pen
sacola and from Mobile, to Alabama
points Ii is commended that the rate
from Mobile is so low that business
from Pensacola is ruined end the
contention of General Counsel Aston
is that ii is a form of discrimina-
ton forced upon them that they can
not prevent. and that as the Mobile
rate was once the same as that now

Bryan's Address.
The success of our system of gov
eminent rests upon the careful 90
servance of the constitutional divl-
siun of power between the state
and the nation A number OF
expressions have been coined to
describe the relations existing
between the federal government and
the several subdivisions, but no one
has been more felicitoUs in definitions
than Jefferson or more accurate in
drawing lines of demaCcation. He
presented the historic position of the
democratic party when he declared
himself in favor of the support of
the state governments in all their
rights as the most competent admin
istrations for our domestic concerns
and tne sureSt bulwarks against anti
tendencies and the pres
ervatiOn of the general government in
its whole constitutional vigor, as the
sheet anchor of our safety at home
and peace abroad" The democratic
platform. adopted at Denver. quotes
the language of Jefferson and declares
that it expresses the paTty's position
at this time.
