The Herald has said very little
about the railroad project up to this
time because we did not care to pub
lish anything until the building of
the road was assured. This we could
not do until the agreement was
made, contracts signed, and work
commenced. All this has been done,
and the work of grading is going for
ward. True, the writer was in the
thick of all the preliminary work
and negotiations, but We felt that it
was not wise to be giving publicity
to a project of whose success there
was some doubt. But the unselfish
efforts of some of our business men
have succeeded, and the railroad is a
certainty Those who do not believe
it are cordially invited to go out and
see the large force of hands at work

SIX MEN LYNCHED.
Negroes Accused of Murder Taken
from Lake City Jail.

Lake City, May l.-Masquerao-
ing as officers of the law, a dozen
men appeared before the county jail
at 2 O'Clock this morning and pre-
sented bogus telegram to the cred
ulous 16-year-old son of the sheriff,
ordering the release of Mark Norris,
Jr., Jerry Gusto and four other ne
groes, who had been held for safe
keeping on the charge of numbering
B. B. Smith, a saw mill man at
Wadesborough, Leon county, and
wounding another white man named
Register, on May II.
The men, who had come from Tai
lahassee to Lake City in automobiles,
carried the negroes about a mile out
side of Lake City and compelled the
negroes to stand in a line. About
ten men commenced firing with Win
chesters and pistols until every one
of the six had been riddled with bull
lets. The firing lasted about half
hour, and a few struggling citizens
at daybreak found the negroes butch
cred beyond recognition, just after
the automobiles left the scene OF
the lynching.
Came from Capital.
The men who planned the killing
of the six came overland from Talla-
hassee. a distance of 106 miles and
covered most of the distance at
night. 1t is possible that the occu-
pants of the two automobiles were
never seen from the time they left
Tallahassee until they returned. The
plans of the men were the most dar-
ing, and but for curious comblna-
ton of circumstances would never
have been accomplished. The sheriff
of Columbia county was out of the
city and left the jail in charge OF
the boy, who, aroused in the early
hours of the morning, allowed the
six negroes to be taken from the jail
without knowing the sinister purpose
of the mob.
The telegram which the leader OF
the mob showed the boy was sup
posedly from the sheriff of Leon
county and stated that the sheriff had
received intimations that mob was
being formed in Tallahassee to take
the negroes from the Lake City jail
The message ordered that the men
be carried further south to frustrate
the suspected mob. The telegram
appeared authentic as the six ne
groes have been moved frequently.
Actual Details Unknown.
The actual details of the summary
execution of the negroes are proble-
matical, for residents of Lake City
knew nothing of the lynching until a
fusilade of distant shots were heard.
A few citizens went in the direction
of the noise and found the negroes,
but all traces of the mob were gone.
By some it is believed that the ne
groes were to be hung but resisted
and were instantly killed. Some in
dications of a struggle lead to this
belief
There was strong feeling in Leon
county against the negroes, as the
men shot were prominent.
1t was proved at the trial that the
negroes had established an arsenal
and were prepared for trouble. The
negroes were first taken to Talla-
hassee and then to Live Oak fol-
safekeeping, and brought back tc
Lake City six days ago.
