In TENNESSEE
WHITE MEN HOLD UP A WAGON
AND KILLED THE THREE
OCCUPANTS.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 6.-Two ne
groes and one young negress were
burned to death by mob of white
land tenants who object to the occu-
pancy of land by colored people, near
Savannah, Tenn, yesterday, according
to meager reports received here to-
day. The lynching is said to have
occurred ten miles from Clifton, Tenn,
in the vicinity of Bobs Landing.
The three negroes were travelling
to a gin with load of seed cotton.
They were waylaid, held up and tied
to the wagon load Of cotton, it is said,
and the mob after building a fire be-
meath the wagon stood guard until the
wagon was consumed.
The negroes team consisted of two
mules. One animal was permitted to
burn to death, according to the re-
ports received at Savannah, while the
other was shot to end it's misery.

MRS. MARY HARRIS AEMOR
SAYS POPE BROWN WILL WIN

Atlanta, Dec. 6.-Mrs. Mary Halls
Armor, of the Georgia w. C. T. U. and
a strong supporter of Col. Pope Brown
in the race for governor, says that
the other candidates will learn to-
morrow to their sorrow that "the fe-
male of the species is more deadly
than the male" when it comes to pro-
tecting the homes of Georgia from the
invasion of liquor, and from the poll
tical ambition of men who are COM
promised on liquor questions.
She criticises the Joe Brown lead
ers sharply, and says that if it were
true that Joe Brown was a prohibi-
tionist they would have never had
anything to criticise the W.C.T.U.
about, as the pamphlets it has sent
out are simply in the interest of pro-
hibition and have not named a can
didate.

GEORGIA'S THREE CORNERED
GUBERNATORIAL RACE TODAY
tied together, flying over a fence to
fight it out"
JOE BROWN HAD GREAT
RALLY IN FULTON COUNTY

Atlanta, Dec. 6.-What was intended
to be only a little ward meeting in
the interest of Joe Browns candidacy
for governor, overfiowed its original
bounds last night and became one of
the most enthusiastic rallies Fulton
county has ever seen.
1t was supposed to be confined to
voters of the Sixth ward, and was
held in the Cable hall, but word got
around about what was going on, and
the hall was crowded to overf1owing
long before the hour. Among the
speakers were Manager J. R. Smith,
Walter P. Andrews, H. H. Cabaniss,
V. A. Bachelor. A hand primary
showed the crowd to be practically a
unit for Joe Brown, and the leaders
are confident that he will carry Full
ton hands down.
The Rev. DR.. John e. White. one
of Joe Browns stanch supporters, de-
clares that he has been consistent
throughout the campaign, and that
the attacks against him made by Pope
Brown sympathizers have been die
tated simply from political spleen.

BABY EMPEROR'S
THRONE TOTTFRS
LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE CHINA
WILL BE A REPUBLIC IN
A SHORT TIME.

PeKln, China, Dec. 6.-Prince Chm
the regent and father of the child em >
peror, abdicated today.
His place as guardian of the throne
Is taken Jointly by Shih Hsu. a Man
chu prince and former president of
the national assembly, and Hsu Sbih
Chang, vice president of the privy
council.
Frlnce Chun has been the chief
hgure in China since the death of
emperor Kwang Su, and the Empress
Dowager in 1908. From the dark days
which followed the death of those rul-
ers he emerged the ruler of China.
AT on time was Prince Chun's re-
sency smooth one. He tried to hold
TO middle ground, which pleased
neither the Manchu reactionaries nor
Ithe nauVe progressives. He has han
died tie present crisis with someting
less tnan his old time vigor and re-
cent reports have hinted that his
mind was weakening.
WI Ting Fang, the former Chinese
minister at Washington, who is now
one of the revolutionary leaders in
shanghai, issued an appeal to Chun a
rev days ago urging him to abdicate
IN faVor OF the republic. 1t was re-
'ported later from Pekin that Chun
was willing to accept a pension and
retire to Je Hol if his personal safety

Mails to Defraud.

Huntsville, Ala, Dec. 6.-The case

THINKS RUSSELL. WILL BE
GEORGlA'S NEXT GOVERNOR

Atlanta, Dec. 6.-Alex w. Stephens,
chairman of the local Richard B. Rus
sell club, is confident of two things.
The first is that "as goes Fulton goes
the state" and the second is tnat
Judge Russell is sure to win in Full
ton. He says:
1T is naturally to be expected that
supporters of candidate would brag
upon his chances of election. This
has been done several times during
the campaign, and to an extent quite
amazing. Any statement might make
woeld naturally be considered a par
tisan estimate. But be that as it
may, I give my opinion conservative
ly, for what it is worth.
From reports which We have re-
ceiYed from all sections of the state
it looks as if Judge Russell will be
elected. The fact that both opposing
forces are daily letting loose their
biggest guns upon him and at the
same time pretending to minimize his
chances Of election, shows conclus-
lively where they believe he stands.
The pursuit of a conservative and. a
dignified course, free from all, intem-
perate or ill-tempered utterances, has
appealed strongly to the people OF
Georgia and won him thousands of
supporters. Especially is this true in
the face of the spectacle Of two Kill
kenny cats, with their prohibition tails

AN IMPARTIAL CORRESPONDENT
FORECASTS ELECTION RESULT
Especial to The NeMs.l


Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 6.-Conservative
politicians tonight predict, under
normal conditions, the election tomor-
row of Hon. t.. Pope Brown as the
next governor of Georgia.
The Russell forces are spending, it
is claimed, lots of money and the tide
may be turned to the activity of the
liquor forces.
One man in Atlanta is said to have
placed bet of $4,000 on Russell; in
fact betting here for Russell might
seem to say how the wind blows.
Still some have remarked the Rus
sell people have money and are ap-
parently backing their judgment. Vol
ney Williams, private manager for
Pope Brown, declares he is not spend
iny any money whatever further than
has already been spent for actual ex-
penses. He believes Pope Brown will
viii by good majority. &A
The Joe Brown forces say tie race
is between their candidate and Rus
sell with the odds decidedly in favor
of Joe Brown. 1t is Generally con-
ceded that Chatham, Richmond and
Floyd are in the Russell column.
Bibb is saio TO be for ice Brown,
though this is disputed. Muscogee is
recognized as fighting ground as well
as Fulton. N tact as all three can
dates claim Fulton county. Bets are
even on the county as a rIle.
Frankly, conservatives while pre-
dieting Pope Browns election, unhes-
itatingly declare that conditions may
change tomorrow and one of the 9th
er candidates may win.
