HARRIS Is HANGED AND
MILITARY AT HOME.
AmeriCuS Light Infantry on
Home Trip.
No Attempt Was Made
at Mob Violence
By Citizens.

Forty strong, with glistening rifles
and under command of Captain J. e.
B. McLendon, the Americus Light In
fantry spent yesterday at Thomasville.
The Aner.cus military, together with
Gour other commands of state troops,
were ordered to Thomasyille to pre-
serve the peace, the authorities fear
ing q mob might attack and lynch the
negro rapist, Harris, to be hanged
there for his painous crime Harris,
in charge of tn sheriff of Thomas
county, passed through Americus yes
terday morning from Macon, where
the negro had been in Jail for safe
keeping since his conviction a month
ago. The Light Infantry proceeded
to Thomasyille yesterday by the same
train carrying the officer and lis
prisoner. Harris was promptly and
properly hanged just before noon, and
no attompt at mob violence was made
OF even TIN aatened, tn, iHaiRnan- cit
liens being willing that the brute be
legally choked to death by the sheriff,
rather than by a mob. The Light In
fantry returned to Amer;cus by the
10:40 Central train last night.

ATLANTA MAN WANTS
TO MAKE THIS HOME.
Is Seeking TO Buy Taylor
Street Property.

A well-to-do Atlanta man recently
visited Americus, and will probably
soon remove to this city and make it
his home.
The party in question was delighted
with Americus and the surrounding,
country on his visit. The conclusion
was reached by him that there was no
more delightful place for him to
make his home in than here.
Before leaving the city to return to
Atlanta he instructed a real estate
agent to negotiate for a certain Tan.
lor street property that he understood
was on the market and that would
make him an attractive home.
If this falls through then an eff
fort will be made to secure some
other fine home elsewhere in the city.
Americus attracts every visitor who
comes here. The charm of the city
is soon felt and it is appreciated that
more genuine enjoyment can be had
here than in the crowded larger cit
les and advantages secured equal 10
those to be found in any small city
in the land.

SCORE SIX TO CIPHER
IN FAVOR OE CHAMPS.
AmeriCuS Beat Cuthbert in
Dead Walk.

By the rather decisive score of six
to nil Americus shut out Cuthbert's
ball team on their own grounds yes
terday, even with a patched up nine.
Several members of the local lineup
were at Thomasville. with the Light
Infantry, but the Champs experienced
no difficulty in putting the blue tag
upon the Randolph hntians. Ans
ley pitched for the first four innings,
yielding up one hit and striking out
seven batters. Perryman pitched the
remaining five innings, yielding the
farmers no hits and striking out nine
of them who essayed to slab the ball.
Americus, therefore, gave up one hit
only, while the Cuthbert twirler was
hit as frequently as the toy babies on
a doll rack. The game was decided,
ly one-sided, but afforded interest for
good sized audience. The Champs
came home at 10:40 last night and
will now get ready to trim up Column
bus in three games here next week.

Nut GROWERS WIRED
TO COME 10 AMERlCUS
Board of Trade Wants Next
Convention Here.

If the next meeting of the Nut
Growers Association of the South is
not held in Americus, it will not be
the fault of the Board of Trade.
When it was known that Americus
was going to be represented, and we'll
represented, it was decided to make a
pull to get the next session of the as
sociation now in session at Orlando,
Fla, for this city. 1t was known that
Mr.. H. W. Smithwick, who was going
from Americus, would make a hard
pull to bring the convention to his
home C 'ty. To help him along it was
decided to make the invitation an Off
cial one from the Board of Trade, as
the representative organization of the
business men of the city. President
shiyer accordingly sent the following
telegram:
II. w. Smithwick, Nut Growers Con.
vent:on, Orlando, Fla.
We urge that you invite Nut Grow
ers' Association to hold it's next con-
vention in Americus, the heart of the
future great nut-growing section OF
Georgia. Best county, with best
roads in state. We guarantee cordial
reception and delightful entertain
ment in bebalf of the entire business
interests of the city. John w. Shiver,
President, Board of Trade
So far no reply has come from Mr.
Smithwick. 1t is hoped that he will
be able to land the convention.

NEGRO is lYNCHED
IN BAKER COUNTY.
~
Attempted Assault on 7
Year -0Id-ChiId.
vi 7b is Formed and His
Body is Found Swing
ing From Tree.

News reached Americus last night
of a lynching bee which occurred in
Baker county, a few miles from Al
bany Thursday evening, TIE affair not
becoming generally known until yes
terday, when the body of the victim
was found swinging to a tree in the
forest near where he was captured.
The name of the black brute could
not be learned last night, although
d ligent efforts were mad to ascertain
all the particulars of the affair.
According to the best information
obtainable here, tlAa negro was hang
ed for an attempted criminal assault
upon the little seyen-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Tison.
prominent residents of the vicinity in
which the crime was committed, and
he was only prevented from accom-
pllshing his dastardly purpose by the
extreme youth of the child and the
prompt interference of Mr.. Tfson, who,
hearing the screams of the little girl
went to her assistance, frightening the
negro away.
He pursued the fiend alone and af-
ter an exciting chase overlook him
and forced him to surrender. Mr.
Tison then took his prisoner and turn
ed him over to the officers, who start
ed at once for Albany, where it was
intended to place him in Jail for safe
keeping, as it was known that an at
tempt would be made to lyncb the
brute as soon as the news of his in
human act and his arrest could be
spread throughout the sparsely set
tied section of that community.
Before the officers could get their
prisoner away, however, a small crowd
of citizens gathered and decided 20
take the law into their own hands.
The constable in charge of the negro
was oyertaken wltile on his wav to
the Jail and his prisoner taken into the
woods, where well merited punish,
ment was speedily meted ont to him.
The entire affair was conducted in a
quiet and orderly manner, and no ex-
citement was occasioned thereby. The
body of the negro, as above stated,
was left hanging in the woods, after
having been riddled with bullets, and
was not discovered until yesterday
morning, when it was cut down and
prepared for burial under the direction
Of THE coroner of Baker county.

STILL MORE COMING
FROM PALMETTO STATE
Mr.. Payne Found Great In
tereSt in Sumter.
People Are Eager to
Learn of Opportun-
tiles Here.

1t seems like a many times told
st4ry, bct il is a story that will bear
almost cea2eless repetition, especially
when .veTy time it is a story with a
new phase and a promise of even bet
ter things for Sumter county just
ahead.
Yesterday Mr., f. ]. Payne the real
estate agent, received a letter from his
brother, Mr.. J. G. Payne, who for the
past few weeks has been engaged in
personal work among the farmers of
a large section of South Carolina, put
ting solid facts about Americus and
Sumter county before them, and also
seeking to interest men of means
in the opportunities hereabouts for
profitable investments.
In this work he has been very sue
cessful. In his letter yesterday, writ
ten from Greenville, the old home of
the Messrs. Payne, he stated that the
outlook was good for trip of a num-
Der of those he had been dealing WITH,
probably late this month, to Americus,
for the purpose of personally studying
the situation. Included in those who
are expected to come are a bank pres
ident, some other men of affairs, and
some progressive farmers.
'It has not been difficult to awaken
interest in Sumter county" wrote Mr.
Payne, "as the reputation of the coun-
ty is already widely known and people
are eager to hear more about the Sec
ton round about Americus."
Mr. Payne expressed the bel eff that
the seed that had been sown in
South Carolina would bring forth q
big cropof arrivals this summer, with
investments in lands, and a number
actual settlers as soon as the crops
are laid by and lands disposed of in
Carolina.
Mr. Payne viii continue his work in
Anderson and other counties of South
Carolina. A big batch of the Board
of Trade pamphlets viii be sent %
him next week for distribution among
the parties he has already interested,
as well as those who are likely to
have tHeir interest aroused.
