MOB ATTACKS
HANDCUFFFD MEN
Many Citizens Lend
Aid
Mob Attacks Handcuffed Prisoners in
Courthouse-Citlzens Lend Aid
Wat Green kilIed-Others
Wounded-No Arrests.

In the Courthouse at Shelbyville
last Monday, mob of so visitors
joined mob of between one and two
thousand citizens and they proceeded
to the County Courthouse, where they
took charge of three handcuffed pris-
oners, and beat and shot them to
death. The men were charged with
the murder of white man and had
been carried to Court for a prelimi-
nary trial. The bloody deed was
committed about o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and in the presence Of the
judge, the sheriff, with twenty dep
uties, but no arrests were made.
After killing one of the prisoners
in the Courthouse, a low man with
black mustache was pushed through
glass door into room where the
prisoners had been carried. and in
the presence Of a dozen or more dep
uty sheriffs this lone man shot the
two other prisoners, and then slowly
and carefully crawled out through the
glass door and walked across the
street to drug store to get a drink.
He then walked leisurely to the sta
ton and waited for the train, which
left at 4:20.
The chief detective of the N. C. &
St. L. Railway was an eye witness to
the whole affair. According to a
report in the Nashville Banner. The
Governor has offered a reward of
$500 for each member of the mob
convicted. The Nashville Banner
says:
Several Names Given.
According to Gov Hooper the Off
GERS at Shelbyville claim that not a
single Bedford County man was in the
mob, but that persons who attended
he trial from adjoining counties COM
posed the mob, which attacked the
deputies and shot Greer and later
probably fatally wounded Neal. He
stated, also. that five or six names
were given him as men who had been
recognized when the mob made the
attack.
Gov. Hooper also stated that Sheriff
Williams was not requested to put
deputies on the train which left Shell
byville for Nashville until after the
train had departed, and that he had
contemplated putting an organized
force on a special to meet the train
from Shelbyville, but the train was
already i'll Davidson County before
this intention could be carried out
and the reward was offered in the
hope that the leaders would be appre-
hended and prosecuted
According to Chief Special Agent
Alex Barthell Of the NJ, G. & st. L.,
who was among those from Nashville
who attended the trial, Greer attempt
ed to jump over balcony when the
mob sought to secure the prisoners
from the Sheriff's forces, but being
handcuffed to the other prisoners his
attempted escape resulted in his being
shot Mr.. Barthell also stated that
the Sheriff and his deputies put up
a game fight and succeeded in gettin
the prisoners into room in the build
ing where the doors were barricaded.
He stated that later the doors were
broken in by the mob and when he
saw the Negroes he thought they had
been killed as they were both lying
on the floor. He said that Nashville
men did not lead the mob, but that
the fight was a general one.

EXPOSE PLor AGAINST G. A. R.

That persons in the employ Of the
government in the pension depart
ment have been influenced to become
politically active in an effort to pre-
vent any more money being paid by
the United States to veterans Of the
civil war became known today, says
Chicago Daily Journal Of the 10th
Congressman Isaac R. Sherwood,
author of the Sherwood service pen
sion bill, has sent warning broadcast
throughout the country.
The following letter was received
by The Journal from him today:
To the Editor of the Journal
Capt. George o. Shields, a veteran
soldier of New York City, calls
my attention to the fact that the pen
sion bureau of Washington, D. c.,
is now opposing any additional pen
sion legislation
1t is claimed that the pension bu-
reau is now engaged in trying to
middle the situation, in order to de-
feat any general pension legislation
at this session Of congress.
Capt. Shields incloses an article,
clipped from the New York Times,
and signed L. N. B.. In which the
writer claims to be one Of that large
class of travelling pension examiners,
employed by the pension bureau. I
quote from this L. N B. as printed
in the New York Times:
Having lately been on tour as
special examiner for the United
States pension bureau in various
parts of the country, I am in position
to testify from personal knowledge
that there is no cal from any direc-
tion for the passage of any new legis-
lation in the matter Of pensions
not even from the soldiers them
selves, Not only that. but there is
well-defned hostility among the
people to such legislation as the Sher-
wood bill embodies."

Dear Brother:

Dear Brother:
l have just read in the Nashville
Globe the account Of our case so far
as our Supreme Court is concerned,
and that mastery editorial, and 1
was forced to take fresh courage and
stand by you to the last ditch, win

for a statement Of my account before
renting, but we are in the midst of
a big fight, a death struggle-but
now it seems like cowardice to wait
longer for the usual notice. Here Is
another V on my dues. If 1t takes
this and all the order to help make
the fight, let it go; but I trust and
pray we shall win; but win or lose,
If you desire me to help further,
command me. Best wishes to broth
ers Of the craft.
Yours in F. G. b.,

Fisk University.

Many of our readers will recall the
romantic campaign of the Jubilee
Singers nearly forty years ago, by
which they raised 100000 for Fisk
University. The money so laborious-
ly earned was we'll expended. The
Negro school, started a year after the
close Of the Civil War, has developed
into true university. That it de-
serves the name is sufficiently demon
strated by the fact that the General
Education Board, which is very con-
sentative in its judgments, vonches
for the standing of this University
by its offer of 100000, provided the
University will raise $4,000 more
before October, 1912. The time is
short, the task difficult. Two circum-
stances make it specially difficult.
The int rest of the public is more in
vocational and industrial education
for the Negro than in the so-called
higher education. And there is more
than one Negro University in the
South which is really simply a high
school. Thus Fisk University has to
create an interest where ii is lacking
and to remove a suspicion which is
not wholly unfounded Neither OBJ
stacle ought to operate against Fisk
University. If the Negro race is not
to be absorbed into a deteriorated
white race, nor to remain q burden Of
ignorance and noverty upon the coun-
try, if 1t is to preserve it's race integ-
rity and its race existence, it must
have leaders of it's own; doctors to
practice in it's families, teachers for
its schools, ministers for it's churches,
writer's to interpret it to itself and
to the community And Fisk Uni
versity-this The Outlook affirms
from direct knowledge-is doing this
work OF educating leaders, and is do
ing it well. Evidence of this fur
nished ly the fact that it has the cor
dial sympathy and the moral support
of the citizens of Nashville, who are
familiar with its work One offer of
aid has a special interest as coming
from Il Hebrew to a Christian college,
Mr. julius Rosenwald Of Chicago has
offered to be one of four to give $12,-
900 each for current expenses, payable
IN five yearly installments. Any reader
who desires more information on the
subject can obtain it by writing to Mr..
II. l.. Simmons, So William street,
New York City, or to the President,
