they stopped and the chase was given
up.
Then the crowd, which had been
gathering since the first reports OF
the crime had gone forth, separated
to beat the bushes for the negro.
After short chase he was captured
by a party of half dozen and hur-
ried into a place of seclusion. The
negro is said to have confessed his
crime to these men. The mob learn
ed of the capture and, while the Of
icers went off on a false scent, qui-
etly slipped away to where the ne
gro was held. What followed cannot
be definitely statedbut a fusillade of
shots was heard and shortly after
which the negro was found dead 4,
riddled with bullets, with a lantern
hanging on his breast.
The girls body was found lying in
the yard near the cellar door, and
the surroundings show that a despe-
rate struggle was made by the young
girl. The distance from the well to
where she met her death is about 20
yards, and she was dragged the en-
tire distance.
Flute Clarke had lived on the place
of the victims father for IL years,
having been practically raised by the
family. He was married and is said
to have been about 81 years of age.
Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock D

hold an inquest over the body of the
dead girl. The lynching was in New

of the place where Coot Lever at

prominent farmer about year ago
for which he was legally hanged.

PEOPLE COMING AND GOING.
Trio, November 23:-Mr W T
Rowell made a business trip to
Georgetown last Monday.
Mr. c F Bryan was a visitor to
Georgetown last Friday.
Rev " H Perry, the Methodist
minister. preached bis farewell ser-
mon here last night. During the
service some one on tie outside OF
the church kept striking matches
and had to be called down by the
preacher. Boys,if you cannot behave
in church, you should stay away,
The church is no place to go for fun
or rowdyism.
Thanksgiving day passed off qui-
etly. There were a lot Of hunters,
but if anyone brought back any game
he must have hidden it. One Nimrod
said he killed four or five quails but
he failed to put them in evidence.
Mr. and Mrs j Waldron of An.
drews spent Thanksgiving with the
latter's sister, Mrs w E Graham.
Mr. Ed Bryan of Salters Depot was
noted among the visitors here last
Sunday.
Mr. Ed Shirer, formerly with the
Trio Mercantile Co, was here Sunday
to hear Rev w H Perry say farewell
to the people Of Trio. He was &C.
companied by his brother, Mr. Elliott
Shirer.
Mr-Norris, who has been paint
ing the house OF MIR Jas Bryan, let'
for Andrews last Saturday.
DR. L w Moore went to Lake City
Sunday to visit his parents and prob
ably some friend.
Messrs J B McCants and ] B F'as
went to Kingstree this morning to
attend court, Mr. McCants being on
the jury.
Mr. W B McCants was noted among
the visitors here last Saturday.
Miss Annie Ogburn Of Suttons
passed through town one day last
week on her way to Andrews to visit
her brother.
Mr. and Mrs Lee Boyd were guests
at Mr. Jas Bryan's home last Sunday.
Mr. James Bryan is having his
house re-modeled and painted. 1t
surely helps the looks of the old
building, which is one of the most
ancient of which Trio can boast.
There was a little excitement here
Thanksgiving day when it was re-
ported that two white men were
seen at work. 1t seems that these
particular individuals have an insu-
perable aversion to manual labor
and some of the people made it their
business to go to see them at work.
Mr. j w Register, our R F D car
rier, ,and Postmaster Files went deer
driving last Thursday. One deer was
all the game they brought back.

MADDENED MOB
WREAKS VENGEANCE
ON NEGRO BRUTE WHO ASSAULT,
J. ED AND MURDERED WHITE
SCHOOL GIRL.

Little Mountain, November 25:-
Riddled by / 600 bullet wounds, the
sbody of Flute Clark,a negro, tonight
lilies on the south side of Little Noun
tain, mute evidence OF the suddenly
/, aroused wrath Of MOB OF nearly
J l 900 Lexington and Newberry citi-
zens, ,maddened by the murder Of tee
l4-year-old daughter Of prominent
farmer of this section, who, Clarke is
said to have confessed. met her death
while resisting his attempt to as
sault her. The girls throat was cut
from ear to ear, and her bleeding
body was found about 5 o'clock this
afternoon near the cellar door OF
her home. The negro was caught
and spirited away by half dozen
men who concealed him from the of
Sficers. The mob got wind of this and
sthe negro's alleged confession to his
captors, and at once went in groups
Sto.the secluded spot, where the pris-
koler was held.
q Once the brutal negro was in their
3ower, the enraged citizens poured
Eolleys into his body, nearly 1,OOC
Shots, it is believed, being fired. With
4he bloody work over, the crowd be-
fan to dispense, and there was little
further manifestation of disorder.
The body was'left where it fell, with
alantern hung on the breast.
The young girl, who had two days
/ holiday from school on account OF
thanksgiving, was alone at home at
tie time Of the attack. Her mother
had Just gone to neighbor's. The
negro, who worked for her father,
approached her, according to his al
legged confession, to which there is nc
corroboration, there being no eye
witnesses, ard asked her for a drink
of water. She gave him the water,
and then he asked her to bring some
petatoes also. When she brought
them he attacked her. The girl
screamed and called out that she
!, would tell her father. The negro
fSaen slashed her throat from ear to
ear, the head being almost severed
frem the body. He then fled.
The girls young brother, return
M to the house short time after
5ard, found her body. The alarm
sAs given, and the father of the vic
ftifn, who was plowing IN held ABOUT
200 yards from the fatal scene, rush
IA to the spot. Medical attention
E%as hastily secured, but the little
victim was dead. Her resistance had
mot been in vain, however, as she had
sthwarted the negro's fiendish pur-
Sspose.
& Clarke, with almost consummate
cunning, returned at once to the
scene and even assisted in carrying
athe body of his victim into the house.
When the alarm was given the
Lexington Sheriff sent the blood
hounds from the county chaingang
in charge of Capt Pete Mack. M M
Bu1td, Sheriff of Newberry, also
hastened to the spot.
Upon arrival at the scene the
dogs at once took up the trail and
carried it at once to a field where

MOON MAKER DECLARES
WESTERN ROADS TOUGH
Manufacturer with Faith in Product
Only Ones Apt to Start
Agencies in Vicinity

"The difficulties that a motor car
is called upon to surmount in such
territory as the northwest can scarce
ly be appreciated by anyone who lives
in the east, as they call everything
east of Denver, out there" said e. j.
Moon recently. "Roadways are few and
real roads are practically unknown.
The motor car must spend it's energy
on rocky trails or plains broken by
numerous gullies like small canyons.
Sometimes the car is forced to descend
the steep incline of these and to crawl
up the almost impossible declivity OF
the opposite side.
"The manufacturer who establishes
agencies in such a country as this
must have confidence in his product.
If we did not believe that the Moon
would endure rough work of this char
acter we certainly would not be willing
to send our cars out there"
The Moon Car company saves much
time-that is very valuable to motor
car makers at this season of the year
through the use of its two-track ship
ping platform, from which two freight
cars can be loaded at the same time.
The tracks are SO arranged that big
end door automobile car can be
switched close to the platform while
a side door car is already in position
on another track. One or more cars
are now always at the platform
unless a switch engine has just start
ed a shipment of Moons on the way
to the buyers.

POWER TRANSMISSION IS
FEATURE IN 1910 JACKSON
Points in Late Models Improve Ma
chine, Both for Speed and
Durability

"The most conspicuous new idea to
be found in this years Jackson said
c. w. Oathout, eastern distributor for
the Jackson Automobile company, will
be found in the method of Transmitting
the power from the crankshaft to the
superimposed camshaft on the $3.50
model Thirty.
Another point of unusual merit
which, by the way, is to be found in
ell Jackson models for 1910, lies in the
method employed in housing the walk
ing beams which actuate the valves in
the head in response to the demand
lifts as the reciprocate under control
of the same. The walking beams, and
in fact all moving parts, are housed
in, accessible by means of covers, and
the bearings swim in oil, which is re-
plenished continuously in response to
the demand. The valves are set to
such an angle that the gas due to
combustion has a direct passage as it
Whisks away to the muffler, and back
pressure is reduced to a mere sus-
picion because of this fact which is
furthered by the proper use of a we'll
designed muffler.
In all the Jackson models except the
Thirty, a plate clutch is used, there
being three discs under control of a
toggle system and means of adjust
ment renders it a simple task to take
up such wear as there may be in time.
All models are so designed that the
mass of material is in sufficient pres
ence, considering the energy which
must be absorbed to snub the vertical
bounce, as it is induced by the speed
Of the car as it negotiates the road 5
inequalities. In the Jackson models
the equipment includes everything
from drop forgings to the finished
article; even the springs are made in
the same plant. Heat treating furnaces
are used in the Jackson plant with
promoters attached to every furnace,
and this class of equipment is avail
able for many purposes which in con-
nection with forge permits the ac-
centuations of the kinectic qualities in
the materials used in the Jackson
product"
