made to lynch the negroes. The
TALLER communicated such a probable
ity to his already badly frightened
prisoners, telling them to hide in
some manner in case the mob showed
up. In loud voice the taller asked
who was in front and what they
wanted. Martin knew the expected
mob was on hand and he also knew
that they could easily get what they
wanted unless some tactics quickly
thought of could be brought into play.
That is just what he did. and when he
asked who was there. it was a cue to
the suspected murdereTs to hide. The
mob told the jailer to come to the
front, saying il was DePTivis, a dep
uty, who wanted to have a prisoner
locked up. Martin looked out and
saw a man at the head of the mob
bound hand and front. Still suspicious,
he called out to them that you are

TRI-CO. FAIR
ENTRIES ARE
BEING MADE
SANTA ROSA COUNTY HAS MADE
APPLICATION FOR LIBERAL
SPACE - ESCAMBIA COUNTY
FARMERS SHOULD LET MAN
AGEmENT KNOW " THEY ARE
TO MAKE EXHIBITS,

While some entries are being made
for the big Tri-County Fair. the dates
of which are November 9th to 18th,
they are not coming in as rapidly as
they should. No matter what extern
stve preparations are made by the
management it viii not be the fair
that it should be without exhibits and
lots Of them of the agricultural pro-
ducts of the three counties interested.
This should not be taken to mean that
no interest is manifested, because the
interest already great is increasing,
but it should be remembered that
exhibits to be made the management
can have little or no idea what to pre-
pare for.
Santa Rosa county has made appli
cation for a liberal space in which to
show her collective exhibit, aud there
has been one entry from that county
for space for a collective farm ex-
hibit, and next week it is likely that
number of other entries will be made
from that county because a special
effort will be made by those interest
ed in seeing that that county makes
most creditable exhibit, not only
collectively, but of the products Of the
individual farms, such as cotton, cane,
era that go to make up the products
of the farm. The Baldwin county
fair which is held at Bay Minette this
week will be the rallying ground for
the exhibits and exhibitors from that
county.
Jos. McVOy & Co. of Cantonment,
Will make a general exhibit besides
liberal list of entries of general pro-
ducts of their farm, but these are the
only ones so far reported from ES-
Gambia county.
Making entries does not. by the
way, mean to send in your exhibits
but simply sending the secretary a
list Of those things which it is intend
ed to exhibit 1t costs nothing for
space in which to make these exhibits,
nor does it cost anything to make
entries. As a matter of fact, exhibit
ors have a distinct advantage over
those who do not, as they can get
ticket good for admission at any
time during the four DAYS of the fair
for fifty cents, which costs non-ex-
hibitors $3.50.
1t makes no difference whether you
intend attending the fair or not. You
can make your entries and ship your
exhibits to the fair by freight or eX-
press, preparing the freight, or send
them by your neighboTs and they will
be properly placed and have the same
attention and if worthy win premium
Just the same as if you were there TO
look after them. This. of course, does
not apply to collective exhibits, which
must be arranged by. the exhibitor, or
live stock which must be cared for
by the owner or his agent.

FOR A HEARING
DAMAGING EVIDENCE is HEARD

EMORY NELSON, CHARGED
WITH SHOOTING AT POLICE
OFFICER LOWERY.

Emory Nelson, the negro arrested
as a dangerous and suspicious charac-

having tried to murder Officer Low
cry few nights since, was tried IN
the city court yesterday and bound
over to the county authorities. HE
will now have to clear himself of Il
charge of an assault with intent to
murder.
Officers Lowery and billiard were
the principal Witnesses against Mel
son. They tstiied that they had
found him in his room and he was
in 'bed. When accused of the offense
he denied it. The officers placed
manacles on his wrists and the negro
moved over to a bed which he began
running his manacled hands over.
The officers stopped him and asked
what he meant. He replied that he
was only after a shirt to put on. He
was asked how he was going to draw
shirt on when he was handcuffed.
His actions made the officers SUSPECT
Gus and they went to searching the
bed. Carefully hidden in a freshly
slit mattress was found a revolver of
large calibre which had .Jut lately
been fired. The pistol was taken pos
session of, but Nelson disclaimed its
ownership.
The negro summoned another ne
gro, Dennis Page, as a witness. Page
haG been seen earlier in the night
with Nelson and was later seen by
himself. Later he told that when he
left Nelson the latter and another ne
gro were examining a pistol. He re-
peated this damaging statement I'M
der oath yesterday, locating Nelson
when last he saw him in a negro
restaurant only a few feet from the
spot where the shooting occurred.
