what Dry Cleaning Will Do" ID
the text for this little story; 1t Is
also the title of the advertisement OF
the American Steam Laundry-in this
issue-and presents to the people OF
Logan, concise statement on dry
cleaning.
Less than five years ago, dry clean
ing, as practiced today, was unheard
of in this city. 1t was Just a crude,
hand process, on the hit and miss
plan. The evolution Of men and
methods in laundering, with an in
vestment of several thousand dollars
for modern machinery, has developed
at the American plant, system and
a quality service, that is superlative'
ly perfect. A very good idea OF the
process can be had by reading the
advertisement what Dry Cleaning
Will Do" but to be completely in
formed, the reader should select
some garment requiring renovation,
take it to Mr.. Squires at the Ameri-
can, and let him show just where,
how and why, he gets sucn perfect
results-every time.
We want to emphasize the state
ment, that less than Ave years ago
French Dry Cleaning, and modern
laundering, were on the way, but had
not yet reached Logan. There we're
two steam laundries, practicing a
competition ruinous to themselves,
destructive in their methods in hand
ling the work they did. Logan's laun-
dry payroll-two laundries-five years
ago ran monthly between $3.50 and
$500; today one laundry-the Amer
ican-pays its average Of thirty EN-.
ployees, monthly. between $1,000 and
$500. Astonishing on the face of

THE AMERICUS LYNCHING
ALBANY Herald.)

NAlDdly Hefdlu.)
One of the most regrettable out
breaks of mob violence to occur in
Georgia in recent years overthrow law
and order in Americas Saturday night.
Following the shooting of Police Chief
Barrow by William Redding, a negro
whom the officer was attempting t.
arrest, men with drawn revolvers pur-
sued the fugitives through the streets,
finally overtaking him after he hal
been disabled by bullet He was
hurried to the county jail, but it's stout
walls and barred doors were not suffic
iently strong to protect him. In an in
credibly short space of time a mob
several hundred strong had formed
sLd was advancing on the Jail. The
officers are said to have been power.
les though news reports of the affl.r
dc not mention any attempts on the
TART OF the authorities to defend the
rrisc = against attack. The doors wer
halter ed down with crowbars, and tlap
negro was dragged forth with a roue
ar und his neck. The horrible details
of events that followed are thus told IN
~ An, ricus dispatch to the Ma. "a
Telegraph:
The barbaric features attending the
lynching of Redding at o'clock last
night were brutal in the extreme and
are roundly denounced by many to-
day. The negro was really dead be-
fore the lynching party reached the
Buchanan corner, in the principal re-
tail district, where he was strung up.
AS Redding was dragged along the
streets he was beaten with a crowbar
in the hands OF one of the party and
II is stated that he was practically
decd when the lynchers left the Jail.
After Redding was strung to a tele-
phone pole at the corner of Cotton
avenue and Lamar street, under the
glare OF electric lights, hundreds OF
bullets we're fired into the swayihg
body until his clothing was actually
shot from his person, leaving Il
nearly bare.
