NEGRO TAKEN FROM SHERIFF.
Mississippi Mob Makes Short Work
of White Mans Assailant.

Meridian, Miss, Nov. 7.-"Judge'
Moseley, a negro, was taken from
Deputy Sheriff Brown, near Lock
hart this morning, by a mob of about
four hundred persons and lynched.
The negro's body was riddled with
bullets. Moseley assaulted j. H.
Covington, white, with stick, at

The trouble which resulted in the

Moseley assaulted Covington with a
stick. The latter was beaten over
the head and also had one arm brok-
en-. A posse searched the woods for
Moseley all afternoon and by quick

Covington was unable to appear at

ordered taken to Meridian for safe
keeping. Deputy Sheriff Brown left
Immediately in buggy. When about
two miles out of town he was met by
a mob of forty masked men, who de-

Just after turning back he heard
shots in the woods toward the place
where the negro was taken. There
is much excitement at Lockhart, ac-

Negroes to Build Theater.

Winston-Salem, N. c., Nov. G.
An interesting experiment is to be
undertaken by several well-to-do col
ored men here, in erecting two
story, brick, composition-roof theater
building for the use Of negroes.
Plans have been completed and a
permit was issued to-day for the new
structure, which will be located on
East Fourth street, near the depot.
The building will cost $4,000, exclu-
sive of equipment. Moving pictures
and vaudeville will hold the boards,
but porbably the place will be used
for regular dramatic performances
also.
The negroes in Winston-Salem are
particularly thrifty lot, good pro-
portion of them owning their own
homes, and it is believed that the
theater will prove a popular place
with them. The management prom
ises to cater only to the good ele-
ment and says that the project IS de-
signed to be helpful as well as 10
pay.

CASHIERS LIFE IN DANGER.
Depositors of Wrecked Arkansas
Bank Make Lynching Threats.

Bentonville, Ark, Nov. 1O.-Seven
hundred persons, practically the en-
tire population of Gentry, Is miles
south of here, tonight are looking
for C. A. Catron, cashier of the Bank
of Gentry, which failed yesterday
with liabilities of $4,000 and assets
estimated at S125,000. The authori-
ties fear the angry depositors will
lynch the cashier if they locate him
and with that idea in mind have hid
den him in the village.
Meanwhile an appeal has been sent
Sheriff J. A. Russell, of this city, to
send an officer to protect the cashier.
In response to the appeal deputy
sheriff is on the way to Gentry. He
also carried a warrant for his arrest,
but on what charge sthe authorities
refuse to divulge.
According to depositors, the failure
of the bank followed a, loan of $780,
900 four years ago on security
for which the bank has not been able
to realize. Yesterday the crisis came,
and the bank was closed. In the af-
ternoon a number of armed men pro-
cured a rope and declared their in
tention of lynching the cashier. De-
tails are hard to obtain.

JAIL FOR PREACHER.
Girls Affinity Doffs Ministerial Garb
for Prison Stripes.

& Shelby, Nov. 11.-Rev. B. L. Pad
gett, the holiness minister, indicted
under several charges for illegal re-
lations with pretty Miss Carrie Stock
ton, of Kings Mountain, was convict
ed of the most serious of the charges
against him in the superior court of
Cleveland county at this place.
Judge Webb sentenced Padgett to
two years in the State penitentiary,
and Solicitor Wilson cancelled the
other indictments against him.
Padgett is a tall, rather handsome
man, with an intellectual face. He
first knew the Stockton girl when she
was a mere child, IL years ago, and
/, has been going to her home in Kings
Mountain since that time. Some time
ago he held a series of meetings there
and boarded at the Stockton home,
several members of the family being
members of his church. He seemed
to be infatuated with her, took her
on trips with his little daughter and
made gifts of clothing and jewelry.
There are other indictments stand
ing against Padgett in Burke county
and Greenville, S. c., both growing
out of his relations with the Stockton
girl. The charge against him at
Greenville is for kidnapping the girl,
the arrest having been made in At
lanta. He will be turned over to
the Greenville authorities when he
completes his sentence in this State.
The charge against him in Burke
county is a more serious one than
that on which he was convicted here,
having been a capital offense prior
to a change of statute a few years
ago.
During the trial here Mrs. Padgett
and his daughter sat beside him and
listened intently to the evidence.
Many people were here from Kings
Mountain, where the sentiment is
strong against him, and the court
room was crowded throughout the
hearing of the evidence. The Stock
ton family is we'll known, Mr.. Stock
ton holding a position as superin'
tendent of the spinning room in one
of the large mills there.
