EIGHT SHOT and
TWO LYNCHED IN
RIOT ON SUNDAY
MULATTO BOYS ON WAR PATH
Arrival of State Militia Pre-.
vents Race Riot

Harriston, Miss, Sept. 29. = The
CHASTITY sight of two bodies hanging
from ropes tied to a coal chute was
the only outward sign today of the
riot that cost ten lives here yester-
day. Of the seriously injured all
were still alive today but grave fears
are felt for E. B. Appleby, who was
shot by one of the Jones boys, des-
peradoes.
AS a lesson to those criminal!v
bent, the bodies of Walter and Will
Jones, who caused the riot, were left
hanging all night where they had
been strung up yesterday.
1t is now believed threatened Sc,
rious race trouble would not have ma.

yeloped after the fighting that the
negroes of the town were as anxious
to see justice done the two desperate
men and negro woman ha0 4--sa
does.
The trouble began Sunday morning
about 2 o'clock, when two mulatto boys
began a reign of murder that ended on
ly after three white men, four negro
shot to death, several wounded and
the two boys lynched. Will Jones, the
elder of the two boys, who started the
firing was lynched just after company
of state militia arrived from Natchez.
His brother, Will, had been shot by
citizens earlier in the day. Soon after
persons who had barricaded themselves
in their homes began to emerge cau-
tiously from their hiding places, and
by noon the town was quiet. No more
trouble is feared

YIELD OF THREE
TONS PER ACRE
BEATS RECORD
SUMTfRLEADS In HAY RAISING
Three Tons Per Acre Re.
ported Here

While Sumter county farmers are
beating all previous record in the way
of hay production, saving this year
thousands of tons of that valuable COM
modify, an Americus near" farmer,
Will Green Turpin, seems to have
captured the prize in results attained
per acre, according to his report yes
terday of three tons per acre on 35
acres.
This means crop of one hundred
tons, worth at the market price of $25
per ton, the goodly sum of $4,000 This
for second crop grown upon the
same tract of land this summer.
The Turpin farm of so acres is
the city limits, and of this 35 acres
were planted in oats early in the year.
The oats yielded a fine crop of sixty
bushels per acre, Or a total of 2,100
bushels, worth at the least estimate
fifty cents per bushel, or $1,000 for
the oat crop. The land was then brok-
en- up and planted broadcast in peas
and sorghum cane for hay, and with
results even exceeding expectations
Mr.. Turpin stated that three tons pc
acre is the very conservative estimate
of many who have viewed the large
haymows now curing in the field The
crop was highly fertilized, both COM
mercial guano and stable fertilizer hav-
ing been used unstintedly in planting
the crop. But results justified the ex-
penditure.
If the oat crop was worth $1,000 and
the hay crop of 100 tons is worth $4,000
in addition, the thirty-five acre Turpin
tract has paid the owners very we'll, it
would seem.

New York, Sept. 29.-(Special) Al

of Sydney, Australia, who has been
stopping at the Hotel Astor on his trip
around the world, was sitting in the
main dining room the other evening
when page passed among the tables
shouting: Call for Mr.. Waldeman.
Supposing that the call was for him,
Mr.. F. G. Waldman took the massage.
Not until then did he discover that It
was addressed to s c. Waldman and
not intended for him.
He returned the message to the page
and his curiosity having been aroused,
he left his meal unfinished and follow

man claimed the message, and his
namesake introduced himself and ex-
planned why he had opened the mes

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-(Spec-
ial.) )-The United States mint at San
Francisco has been robbed, although it
is believed the amount is small. Treas
ury officials yesterday confirmed re-
ports of thefts from the coinage plant
on the Pacific coast. 1t will require
q doIlar-for-dollar count of the $751;
$4,000 of silver stored there to dis
cover the exact loss.
Only 81 has been found to be miss
ing up to this time, but the circum-
stances indicate that the sum will te
increased. George E. Roberts, direc-
tor of the mint, yesterday said un-
doubtedly that there had been
scheme of petty pilfering," but he was
confident no great amount had been
stolen.
Silver Pilfered From Bags
The stealing, he added, was froll
the great stack of silver dollars stored
in bags containing $1,000 each. In a
few of those bags it was found that 81
or 50 had been taken and iron wash
ers substituted. The small amounts
stolen from each bag led Mr.. Roberts
to believe that the thefts had not been
extensive.
The count Of coin at San Francisco
now in progress was undertaken in ac-
cordance with custom to verify the
accounts upon the assumption of the
superintendency of the mint by 7. W.
n Shannahan, recently appointed to
succeed Frank Leach. Usually few
haes of silver are counted and weigh
ed. and the remainder weighed against
them Undoubtedly the thief expected
the iron washers to balance the weight

Meet IN HOTEL
AFTER SEPARATION UF 40 YEARS

SAGE. The two Waldmans conYersed 4
few minutes and presently, to the sur
prise of the other persons in the lob :
by, the two gray-haired men embraced
each other. They had found that they
were brothers who had been separated
more than forty years. More than forty
years ago they had left Berlin after the
death of their parents and embarked
on a sailing vesesl for Australia. The
ship was wrecked off the Australian
coast, and the crew and passengers
were forced to take to the boats. The
boats became separated, and as the
boys were in separate boats and were
landed at different points they oul1
not find each other and gave each other
up for lost. While one of the brother 5
remained in Australia, the other re-
turned to Europe and eventually t.
Berlin, where he is now established ii
business. They never saw each other
again until they met by accident IL
the lobby of the Hotel Astor.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
RALLY SUCCESS
FOR METHODISTS
SIX HUNDRED In ATTENDANCE
Little Tots on Program Are
Interesting Feature

Father and mother, sister ami
brother, uncle and aunt, in fact the
whole family turned out strong Sun
day morning and attended the Sunday
School rally at the Methodist church.
Six hundred strong they we're on
hand, or to be exact, five hundred and
eighty-nine were there.
The program prepared especially
for the occasion was pleasing sue
cess. Every child on it spoke like a
veteran. The music of the choir ana
orchestra was an interesting feature
The main feature of the bill (eXcuse
the theatrical term) was put on by
the primary class. The little tots of
this class recited the books of >the
Bible, the names of the apostles, sew
eral passages of scripture, and ansW-
cred questions from the caticism. In
fact they showed such a knowledge of
the Bible that it is doubtful if there
were many grown folks in the aud
ience could have displayed.
After the program diplomas were
awarded to the members of the school
that were promoted from one depart
ment to another. Rev. J. A. Thomas
delivered the certificates. The diplom-
as for the cradle roll were tied with
white ribbon and as the little tots
came UP to receive them DR.. Thomas
took them from a miniature cradle and
handed them to them.
