PARSON GETS A HOIST
AT HANDS OF A MOB
Negro Preacher is Hanged
Sunday Night

Swainsboro, Ga, May .22-Ben
Smith, an old negro preacher who shot
and fatally wounded Neal Canady, dep
uty marshal of Summit, last night, was
hanged to a limb and his body riddled
with bullets by an infuriated mob.
Canady was attempting to arrest
Smith for whom he had a warrant for
shooting his wife.
Before Canady could arrest him,
however, Smith pulled out a pistol,
shooting the marshal through the bow
els, inflicting probably a fatal wound.
AS Canady fell he fired shot at the
fleeing negro which struck him, but
did not totally disable him.
The sheriff was summoned and he,
with bloodhounds, went to the scene.
In the meantime, however, Smith had
been found hiding in a swamp neU
by.
A pOss2e collected quickly, and
he was quietly strung up to a limo,
and his body filled with bullets, after
which the mob dispersed.
Smith, although a preacher, was i,
VIGOROUSLY bad negro; He~wTs an old
man, with a hoafy head, and was tooth
less He was somewhat of a leader
among the negroes, being a little over
the average negro in intelligence.
This is the second lynching that has
occurred in Emanuel county in ten
days, the other being Mcleod, the ne
gro who killed Benton Woods, depu-
ty sheriff of the City Court of SWANS
boro, while he was under arrest last
night week ago.

SENATOR NELSON ATTACKS
TAFT'S PET MEASURE

Washington, May Ex-senator Nell
son, of Minnesota, attacked President
Taft today before the senate finance
committee, for seeking to prevent the
senate from amending the Canadian
reciprocity bill. He declared that the
constitution made the senate part of
the treaty making power of the coun-
try, and offered several amendments
to the measure.
Senator Nelson's amendments would
reduce about one-half the existing
tariff rates on most farm products.
To put farm products on the free list,
he declared, was leg.slating directly
against the farmer.
