in broad daylight they committed the
deed, and the case is so disgusting
that words fail to express the abb
surdity of it. Think of it, The Of
ficers who were to conduct the preli-
minary trial could not see that the
town had filled up with strangers
and that the prisoners lives were in
danger. If this had been the first
mob that ever assembled in Tennes-
see there would be some excuse; but
it is no new thing. White people are
well acquainted with the acts of
mobs They could not help but know
that the men who came into Shelby
vile that morning were bent on do
ing mischief. No precautions were
taken, for the court room was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, and for no
other purpose than to be present
when these three Negroes would be
brought in for trial. There was
crowd on the scene even before the
men were taken out of jail; and who
will believe that the sheriff could not
tell or did not suspect that his pris.
oners would be molested? He does
not believe it himself. But this has
happened and adds another bloody
chapter to the history Of Tennessee
and the South.
A reward has been offered by the
Governor for the arrest of the par
Elephants In the mob. He has been
very liberal, in fact, has gone the full
extent in that respect. 1t remains
to be seen whether any of the parties
will be arrested or. not. 1t has been
stated that 1t is doubtful if the peo-
pie of Bedford County would en-
courage such step. 1t is known
that unless the authorities in the
county where the crime was COM
mitted sanction the prosecution Of
the offenders, that nothing will be
done.
The Chief Detective of the railroad
was present and witnessed, he says,
the affair. So it will be an easy
matter to apprehend the guilty par
ties. 1t could have been done that
day Why it was not done can best
be answered by the sheriff of Bedfor
County.
1t is reported that fifteen deputies
were sworn in to protect the prison
ers, and that they became so right
ened and confused that they could
not prevent a man breaking a glass
door, crawling through small
hole and shooting two prisoners
handcuffed and already beaten into
He then made his exit
through the same hole, and yet they
could not arrest him. 1t is prepos-
ferrous to think of and it is too ridicu-
lous to tell an intelligent nation that
these men could not have arrested
that one lyncher or one murderer
The whole thing looks like a premedi-
tated and concocted scheme to
butcher up three helpless Negro men.
Tennessee is joining a group of
other southern states in their dia
bolical lynching crusade. No on
knows, no one can tell, where the
next outbreak will be. 1t did seem
for season that reason was taking
good root in this commonwealth, but
recent occurrences argue strongly
against such a conclusion. There
must be reaction somewhere at
some time. Such conditions cannot
obtain In a country where civiliza-
ton has attained the height it has
in the United States.

sheep reaching the yards by noon.
Cattle sold 10 to Is higher today, some
sales up 25 cents. solely because of
the emergency incident to the slim
run. A normal supply would have
sold steady today. No prime cattle
were included today, but $4,000 would
be paid for toppy animals. Fifteen
loads of 1000 lb quarantine steers
came in. and sold at $3.50 Middle
class native steers sell at $500 to
S725, native cows S4.OO TO $3.50, heif-
ers $4.75, bulls $400 to $5.25, veals up
to $3.50, stock steers $3.50 to $575,
feeders $3.50 TO $3.50.
Hog receipts fell down to $4,000
head here last week, and the market
made good gains till the last of the
week, when a large part of the ad-
vance was removed. Sales today are
10 higher, though the top 1925, is only
cents above Saturdays top. Sew
eral loads brought the top price, and
bulk of sales ranged from $500 TO
$6.25 today, light hogs $5.75 to $610,
pigs $3.50 to $5.25. Since the first of

regular republican leaders are pursu-
ing and will continue TO pursue a
course of obstruction and delay. It
has been stated by some of the repub-
licans that the party is playing right
into the hands of the democratic lead
ers by pursuing these tactics.
To make matters worse for the re-
publican leaders former Speaker Can
non is causing a rumpus. .'Uncle Joe"
has been criticising the work of the
house and seeking to justify his own
course while speaker Some of his
colleagues do not like this.
The house republican progressiyes
are also worried over the outlook.
They admit that they are in danger
of being lost sight of, and their only
remedy is to adopt a progressive
course.
In view of the manner in which the
democrats have started their cam.
paign of redemption and rehabiliata'
ton, indications now are that they
will sweep the country in 1912 This
is the gloomy view held by large
following in the republican ranks
Even the prediction in republican cir
cles that President Taft's reelection
is doubtful has gathered weight to al
almost unbelievable degree 1t is no
difficult to see that an obstructive pro
gram on the part of the republican
leaders in congress will have but on'
effect-to help the democrats.
Consequently democrats in tn,
house are jubilant over the situation
and regard the presidential campaign
as easy sailing for them.
