dead negro" said Mr.. McLendon.
The sheriff borrowed Neil Glynn's
high power automobile, and with
Charles S. Stewart made the twenty
five mile run to the McLendon place.
He got the negro and returning when
a mounted mob appeared and gave
chase. The roads were bad, which
favored the hosemen, and the mob did
not turn back until the sheriff had
passed Stay, which is ten miles from
here.
Heavy guard was mustered as soon
as the sheriff reached here, and the
black was taken on the l o'clock train
to Meridian
Fury of the mob was increased by
the report which was spread at first
that the negro had been caught, but
that the girl could not be found, and

fastest craft among the twenty and
twenty-six footers will compete for
the championship of the Atlantic coast
Forty miles an hour is a speed that
has long been sought by owners OF
twenty-six footers and should this be
attained at the Cambridge, Md, re.
gatta it will mean that new worlds
record will be established. Experts
who have seen some of the fastest of
the boats in action believe that the
competition will result in the setting
of such a mark.
The offering of a championship
trophy means that the winning craft
will be called upon to defend its title
next year, so that the races at Cam
bridge this week will be the beginning
OF an annual series that will make the
Chesapeake the scene of one of the
classic events of American motorboat-
dom.
Among the entries in the twenty
foot class is the Sand Burr H., owned
by the White Brothers. This little
craft won the championship at the re.
gatta at Peoria, ILL.,, last year and has
carried off honors wherever she has
been raced. T Coleman du Points en-.
try in the twenty-six foot class is gen.
orally believed to be the speediest
boat of her size ever built. In her
trial run she developed a full forty
miles an hour and it is expected that

do even better. Mr.. du Pont also has
