MOB VS.. MOB
IN old KENTUCKY
Negroes Prevent Lynching Of Negro
Prissnsrs-Race Hatred
Runs High.
(By Associated Press.)

Stanford, KY, Feb. 16.-7A mob Of
negroes, heavily armed, stood guard
outside the Jail here last night pre-
pared to resist any attempt of a white
mob to lynch the negroes, Louis Greg
ory and Curly johnson, held for shoot
ing and robbing three white tobacco
planters en- the Danville Pike Monday
night. 1t is believed the action of the
negro mob had the effect of warding
off an attempt to lynch the prisoners.
At midnight a posse of armed white
neighbors of the highwaymen's vic.
Tins drove into town and secuted
about the jail. They decided that
any attempt to storm the Jail would
result in a Serious clash between the
races and drove away.
Sheriff Mccarthy and a squad Of
deputies stood guard in front of. the
Jail. They paid no attention to the
negro demonstration, although sever
al shots were fired in the blacks
camp. There is bitter feeling agains
the negroes in this vicinity, and the
whites are going armed.

Already secured-secretary Lew
is Here From Jackson.

Carlos Smith, 1911 manager of the
Hattiesburg baseball team, arrived
this morning from his farm and will
remain here until tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Smith was delayed on the present
trip by the illness of his wife. He
will return to Hattiesburg the last of
the present month to remain perma-
nently, and will at once begin sending
out transportation to players. 1t is
hoped to have the majority of the play
ers here by the fifth of March and be-
gin training on the sixth.
Mr.. Smith feels good over the sea-
sons outlook, and while he is not the
Dragging kind, it is easy to see that
he hopes to have Hattiesburg right up
among the leaders when the season
closes. He states that in his opinion
Hattiesburg will have the strongest in
field in the league; that he is satisfied
there are several winners among the
five young pitchers signed, while the
catching staff and the outfeld were
not picked with view Of poor playing
qualities.
Since reaching here Mr.. Smith has
tsent out four new contracts, and when
these are returned Hattiesburg will
have about thirty men signed up. One
of the contracts sent out was to q
third baseman. The other was to a
young feet, four-inch first baseman
to whom Fl. Worth offered $4,000 q
month the present season, but he pre-
ferred to play under Mr.. Smith and is
coming here. Another good man re-

Blackburn was a member of the 1908

Fitted by Training, knowledge and
Standing for the High Duties
Of the Office.

One of the most important offices
to be filed at the August primary.

account of the fact that the State
Normal needs to be properly financed.
is that of State Senator, from this, the
Second Senatorial District, composed
of the counties of Forrest, Jones,
Perry, Green, Wayne and George.
The people of Forrest county have
hoped, on account of the special in
terest held by this county, that the
next senator from this district would
be granted Forrest county without
contest, and further that some strong
local business or professional man
would sacrifice his private interests
for the public good, and stand for the
office. Present indications are that
both these hopes will be realized.
News from the other counties is that
while several favorite sons have been
mentioned in connection with the Of
flee, none of them care to make the sac
rifices necessary for the canvass and
for the service while in office; and
in the announcement in today's News

a man who will be of real service to
the county, the district and the state

himself and friends.
Mr.. Stevens name has been promi-
nently mentioned in connection with
the office for some time.
]. M. Stevens is a member of the
law firm of Stevens, Stevens & Cook,
of this city, firm which enjoys
good practice. Feeling that he is so
thoroughly acquainted with the needs
of the district and in sympathy with
the requirements of each particular
locality, his friends not only in this
county, but in other counties of the
district. have urgently besought him
to enter the race. Mr.. Stevens is the
youngest son of the late Capt B. Ste
vens, and was born at old Augusta.
the original county site of Perry coun-
ty. He is thirty-four years of age,
and was educated first in the public
schools of the county, then at Millsaps

HISTORIC HOUSE
WAS DESTROYED
BY Fire In Enterprise-Owned BY MIR.
John kamper-Contained
Relics.

Mr.. John Hampers two-story resi-
dence at Enterprise, Miss, was de-
stroyed by fire Monday. The house
was one of the old landmarks of En-
terprise.
At the outbreak of the war, J.
Offetle concealed several rifles and a
quantity of ammunition in the walls
between the partitions. After the war,
or not long ago, he sent diagram and
description of the location of the
house where he had concealed the fire.
arms. From the description it was
easy to see that he referred to this
building. 1t had been repaired, how
ever, in way that it was almost i'm
possible to get his much valued relics
without tearing down the house.
While this was being discussed by
two citizens of Enterprise that had
this information, a loud report was
heard in the building, the noise being
in the part of the house where the
party claimed the rifles and ammuni
ton were stored. 1t is evident that
the report heard was from the fire
arms that were secreted, as the noise
was too loud to havesbeen caused from
the report of a pistol or shotgun shell
that might have been in the house.

P. Crymes, on the morning of the 26th
of last December, is being given
hearing on habeas corpus proceedings
before Judge Paul B. Johnson, of the
circuit court today.
The case was called before Justice
iEdT. Bolton at II o'clock this morn
~ in the court room in the court
lie. Attorney John B. Tally for
v defendant, appeared before the
&ouft and waved examination of the
prisoner
In compliance with an understand
ing between the attorneys in the case,
Judge Johnson assumed the judges
chair and after court preliminaries,
the hearing started.
Mr.. T. P. Crymes, father Of the MUIR
dered boy, was the first witness called.
Mr. Crymes told of his son coming
to his room early on the morning OF
the murder, asking his consent that
he might be allowed to go hunting.
The request of the boy was refused
and Mr.. Crymes stated that the next
time he saw his son was when he
found him murdered in the door of
the COW barn nearby.
Lying by the side of the murdered
body was found his double-barreled
shotgun, broken in two pieces at the
i, narrow part of the stock. In the gun
were two shells, which had been fired
\ Aiding to the conclusion that young
k&atmes had been killed with his own
] weapon.
In the barn door in the rear, near
the floor, are twenty or more birdshot
fired at apparently range of fully
100 feet.
Near the body was found the empty
milk bucket, smeared with blood. The
unmilked COWS proved conclusively
that the boy had been killed soon af
ter reaching the barn.
At this juncture Judge Johnson ad
journed court for dinner. The
hearing was resumed at o'clock, anC
it is probable that the entire afternoon
will be consumed in hearing the testi
mony of the witnesses and the argu
ment.

More Than 1000 Qualified
Voters In County of Forrest

and 800 men in the county past the
age when poll taxes are required, but
none the less qualified voters, and
there are over 100 virgin voters in the
county, who will be old enough to
vote by the election, but who were not
old enough to be assessed with poll
tax
So it is evident that Forrest county
will cast almost twice the number of
votes that had been estimated, and
that next to Jones county it has the
largest number of qualified voters in
