NEGRO CHASED

DAcEY MOORE OF sUMRALL HAD
ALTERATION YESTERDAY,
TAKING TO RIVER.
THREE HELD FOR MURDER
viii Cook Struck With ScantIinq BY
Moore, is Aided by Two Sons in the
Fight-Moore Plunged into River
and Was Drowned.

Dacey Moore, a negro about 40
years of age met death in a peculiar
manner yesterday afternoon about
4:30 o'clock. 1t seems that Moore
was a resident of Sumrall and had
come here on a visit. While in the
Newman quarters, he became involved
in a quarrel with Will Cook, another
negro, and in the course of the argu-
ment struck Cook over the head with
scantling, dazing him for the time
being. Two sons of Cook came upon
the scene and interfered in their
fathers behalf. Moore realizing that
the odds were against him took to his
heels and ran towards Leaf river.
BY the time he reached the banks of
the stream, a large number of ne
groes were after him, throwing bricks
and rocks at the fleeing man. Moore
plunged into the river and attempted
to swim to the opposite bank When
about the middle of the river he be-
came exhausted, trying to avoid the
missiles that were deing hurled at
him by his pursuers, and sank. The
three Cook negroes were arrested by
Chief Moore and Tom Cahall and
placed in the county Jail and the
charge of murder has been preferred
against him.
Moore's people at Sumrall have
been notified. 1t is is said he has a
wife and two children. The body has
not been recovered, but Coroner Nc
Kenzie is at the scene and is drag
ging the river.

Lumber operators are well pleased
with the continued good sales and the
indications that spring business will
be large. Reports from various opera
tors will indicate that the present year
will be cne of the most successful that
has been known for many years.
Larger mills report exports as contin-
uing steady, while the smaller ones
have all they can do to supply the
demand for the interior trade. A
great deal of the accumulated orders
accruing during the latter months of
1911 have been worked off, and they
are now cutting 1912 business. There
is some complaints from the whole

denced, but this is thought to be tem-

The continued car shortage is seri-
ously affecting shipments and no re-
lief is in sight. This is due to the fact
that railroads generally have not been
building cars. and the increased ship
