READY FOR
 LYNCH|NC Three Winsyon County Far mers Arrested on Revolt
 ing Charge
A MOB HAD FORMED
The Prisoners Are Believed To Be Implicated in Murder of Far
 mcr's Daughter.

Louisville, Miss, July 23-Swinton Fermenter, young farmer is under arrest, two other men were sought by posses and a lynching of the man in custody was threatened throughout tonight, sequel to the violation and killing of Miss Jennie Sharp. dangh- ter of a prominent planter.
 Miss Sharp left her home late yes- terday to go to Rural Hill, in this county, the nearest postoffiee for the days mail. Not returning at nightfall after an all-night search, her body was found in small ravine, the throat cut, head battered and evil dences of mistreatment of most re. volting nature, apparent.
 Pleads Innocence.
 Circumstantial evidence led to the arrest late today of Fermenter, and despite his protests of innocence, he was brought to Louisville and iml- prisoned.
 When the arrest of the man became known, the mob began to gather to- night, hourly increasing in numbers, but at a late hour had so far failed to put into execution their threats of lynching, presumably for the lack of a leader.
 The two others sought in connec- tion with the killing, farmers named Cummins and Burkfield were eaptur- ed tonight and lodged in jail.
 Threats of lynching became so per- sistent, however, that it was deemed advisable to remove the men to an- other jail for safe-keeping.
 A special train was requested and the start made shortly before mid- night for an unknown destination.

GODS PLUMB LINE
 ON PINE BLUFF Evangelist Violett Appeals to the People for a Purer and More United Life. 1.-THE JUDGMENT DAY" Will Be His Subject TOnght-Regular Bible School at the Tent This
 Morning.
"THE JUDGMENT DAY"

The crowds attending the ViOlett meetings at Fifth and Main street heard the evangelist deliver one of the very finest sermons of this ser ies. He preached upon Gods Plumb line upon Pine Bluff, reading from the seventh chapter of Amos. Amos was a young prophet of Judah sent by God to make his last call to Israel before there were taken into captiv- ity before they refused to follow the commandments >of the God after He had brought them out of Egypt with mighty hand and lead them through the wilderness foS forty years and given them the land Canaan The evangelist just mentioned his history in passink and gave his hearers a prae- tical lesson from this scripture by appealing for cOnsecrated family in the home life in order that the boys and girls of Pine Bluff might be saved. He showed his hearers the aw- i"i i0opoioiolilty edCll one dSSHllleu in the doing anything whatever that was the least bit questionable be cause of the fact that some friend or relative may be watching and copying after each act that wa do while here on earth. The evange- list gave many instances of boys copying after their seniors ranging in all the walks of life from the drunkard's sons to the sons of the ministers of the gospel. His appeal was to the people of Pine Bluff for a purer and more united home life and a definite and active interest of all parents in the salvation of their children The evangelist told of one mother who lost her boy to the church by refusing to go with him one night when he promised that he would cast his life on the side of Christ, but that mother excused herself to attend a card party she has been bewailing her folly ever since as her boy now has no interest in such things.
 The question box last night brough. forth some pointed answers by the evangelist. Some friend was trying to get his opinion, that person is baptized because his sins have al- ready been forgiven, before the audi ence by including his answer to the question he pretended to be asking, The evangelist told the questioner that he did not believe his own Bible and quoted the passages to prove it. In this connection MT. Violet stated that the New Teatament contained separate mention of twenty-one differ- ent things by or through which the Bible asys that men are saved Mrs. w. A. Kientz and Prof. Haley sang beautiful duet last night which was very much enjoyed by all pres ent. Miss Lillian Vail will sing to- night at the request of her friends who have heard here heretofore. There will be the regular Bible
 School at the tent this morning at 9:45 and preaching and communion
 service at 11:00 subject was not an-
 nounced. At night MT violett will
 preach on The Judgment Day." read
 ing from the twenty-fifth chapter ot
 Matthew.

STORMY WEATHER LAST WEEP
UnfavOrnbIe Reports Come from Most
Sections of the Country.


WASHINGTON, June 14-Generally I'M
favorable weather prevailed throughout
last week over greater portion of the
cultural interests, according to the de-
partment Of agriculture. 1t says:
The weather Of the country was again
largely unfavorable over the major por-
ton OF the great agricultural districts east
OF the Rocky mountains. In the corn
growing states of the middle west includ-
ing the Ohio and Tennessee valleys cloudy
interfered with outdoor occupations and
retarded vegetable growth of all kinds
Sunshine and warm and dry weather are
greatly needed over nearly all portions
OF the above districts.
In the spring wheat states conditions
were somewhat more favorable, the tenn
peratures were nearly normal, and sun
fall, however has been greatly deficient
over the more easterly portions, espe-
cially in Wisconsin and Minnesota where
practically no rsin> occurred during the
week.
In the cotton growing states east of the
Mississippi the weather was generally
| cloudy and cool, but rains occurred in
all districts. In the cotton growing dis
tricts of Texas and Central Louisiana
there was but little rain, but otherwise
conditions were generally favorable In
Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma 1t was
cold and cloudy, but good rains occurred.
In the western portion of the great
Of the Rocky mountains the weather con-
tinued dry, and the ranges are greatly in
need Of moisture. Temperatures have con-
tinued high, especially in eastern Wash
ington and the southwest, and the excess
siVe evaporation has caused some damage.
