CANDIDATE GETS
 SEVERE BEATING

Red Bay, July 2-(Special) )-Quite a sem ation was sprung at Bounds Cross Roads precinct today on the occasion of the political rally of county candidates a. that place in Itawamba county, Mis- sssippi. A large number of voters as- senbled to hear the various aspirants present their claims. Everything ,sas moving along nicely when some one an- nourced that the sheriff was needed at "ce.
 The speaking was immediately broken up srd large portion of the assemblage rushed to the scene to find Justice of the Peace J. T. Philips severely beaten and covered in blood.
 The report was to the effect that he had gone a few hundred yards from the place where the crowd had assembled to arrest some young men whom he thought were under the influence of whisky and demanded that they give him their bot ties, drawing a pistol in demanding their arrest.
 The youngsters realizing that he was not their officer, but stranger. inn r edi.tely fell upon him and taking his weapon from him gave him sound heating with his own pistol. Esq. Philips Is justice of the peace of the Second dis frict of ltawamba county, and Is can didate for sheriff in the pending cam ,,ajgn. The wounds inflicted upon him are ot such serious nature that he was forced to abandon the campaign and go to lis home The result of the Incident no doubt will create wide sensation in lahe county and every effort will be made to get at the justice in the case.
