Threatens to Lynch.

Thomasville, Ca, April 27.-Mobs
began forming in Thomasville early
tonight when it was announced that
Howard Harris, who Is to be tried
here tomorrow for an alleged at
tempted assault upon young matron
of this county would be brought here
shortly after midnight from Florida.
The Thomasville Guards were called
out, and later it was stated by Judge
Robert G.. Mitchell Of the superior
court that the negro would not be
brought here until tomorrow. He
stated that the guards will go to Val
dosta and meet Harris there. 1t is
probable that the Valdosta troops
will return to this place and aid In
the protection Of the negro should
any further demonstration be made.
Much excitment was caused TO-
night when the mobs began forming,
but this was allayed to great ex-
tent by the determination not to
bring the negro tonight. The trial
Is to begin just as soon as the negro
and troops reach here tomorrow
Mrs. Dutton will be the chief witness
for the prosecution.

Negro Brute to Pay Penalty.

Thomasville, Ca, April 2S.-Un-
der a heavy military guard, Harvey
Harris, the negro who was to-day
convicted of criminal assault upon a
prominent white woman of this coun-
ty, and sentenced to die on the gal
lows on May 20, was taken to Macon
ON a special train this afternoon.
II The successful transfer Of the ne
gro to another Jail for safe keeping
ended riotous day and determined
body of two thousand men and boys
who had gathered early bent on
lynching Harris and who had one
rather serious encounter with the
troops, went sullenly to their homes
tonight.
Following the clash early this
morning between the mob and the
Thomasville military company, the
governor ordered the companies at
Albany and Valdosta to proceed here
on special trains. With the arrival
OF these companies the mob spirit
quickly died down.
The trial of the negro was brief.
The court room was cleared of spec
tators and the troops stood guard at
the entrances. Attorneys were ap-
pointed by the court to defend Har-
sris, the jury quickly drawn and Mrs.
Dutton, the first witness, told the de-
tails of the assault, breaking down at
the conclusion of the testimony. She
was followed by Sheriff Houston, OF
Leon county, Florida, who testified
that following Harris capture in Tai
Iahassee the negro made voluntary
confession of the crime. Harris did
not take the stand nor did any wit
nesses appear for him. There were
no arguments and the jury, following
! brief charge, returned verdict of
guilty within two minutes after re-
tiring. Judge Mitchell then sentenc-
ed the negro to be hanged on May
20, emancipation day in Georgia.

ENGLAND'S NEW HARBOR.
The Great Naval Base at Dover Cost.
ing $2O,OOO,OOO.

The new harbor recently complet-
ed at Dover, England, by the British
admiralty, which was formally open
ed by the Prince of Wales, is, accord
ing to Technical World, one of the
greatest engineering feats ever put
in hand and brought to successful
completion.
This new home for the British
fleet can claim the distinction Of be-
ing the largest artificial harbor in
the world. It encloses at low tide a
water area of no less than 619 acres,
affording ample accommodation for
a fleet of twenty-five f1rst-class battle
ships with the attendant smaller
|'craft, such as torpedo boats, gun
boats, etc.
This harbor has taken eleven
years to construct and has cost the
government s2O,00O,O00. BY its
erection the ancient port of Dover
has been transformed into powerful
naval base. The reason for this
transformation is not far to seek.
It is the policy of the British admiral
ty for the strength and bulk of their
ships to lie nearest their strongest
rival.
That rival to-day is Germany,
hence the desirability of equipping
Dover with an efficiently protected
harbor, where the ships can lie safe
ly at anchor and yet be In a posi-
ton to strike quickly at the North
Sea. AS a matter of fact other naval
bases are being erected on the east
coast of Great Britain. One is now
nearing completion at Rosyth in Scot
land, and another new harbor is to
be constructed in the Orkneys.
The Dover harbor, begun in 1898,
has been secured by constructing
three arms or walls. The well known
Admiralty pier, which had a length
Of 1000 feet, has been extended an
other 1000 feet and forms the wes-
tern arm of the harbor. The second
runs out $500 feet from the base of
the cliffs, and the third arm is the
breakwater, 4,20O feet in length,
situated three-quarters Of a mile
from the shore and almost parallel
with it.

MIR. PATTERSON'S STATEMENT.
Second District Representative In
Race to Finish.

Washington, April 28.-Congress-
man Patterson, in addition to the
statement made yesterday positively
announcing that he had no idea of
withdrawing from the race and re-
election to the House, and that he
would again become candidate, to-
day issued still longer statement
on the subject. In declaring himself
candidate, he said:
''The campaign will soon be open
ed, and 1 desire to say to my friends
in the I'd Congressional district that
I shall be candidate to succeed my
self to the 62d Congress in the pri-
mary, to be held during the coming
summer. This announcement will,
I trust, dispel the erroneous idea In
the minds of few, created by re-
cent exaggerated reports, that my ca
pacity for effective work had been
diminished by reason Of i'll health.
Realizing by experience that Rep
resentative's usefulness is in direct
proportion to his length of service,
feel that / am better qualified to serve
my constituents now than at any
time in the past, and if I am returned
to Congress, they shall receive the
benefit of the experience I have gain
ed by reason of participation in public
affairs.
Like other members of the minor
ity party in Congress 1 have been
handicapped, and as result of par
tisan action some of the plans I have
for improvement in our district and
State, for which l have labored most,
have not been disposed of yet, but
sharing in the belief of my colleagues
that Democratic ideas of government
will prevail in Congress after the No
vember elections, 1 am more anxious
than ever to be member of the next
Congress and consummate the work
l have already projected in the in
terest of our district.
Il am deeply grateful to my friends
for their past friendship and support,
and hope to be honored with it again.
1 am enjoying good health and am
very much alive to the needs and well
fare of my constituency, and if again
honored with a nomination, pledge
the best efforts of both head and
heart to your service"
