NeQrO Lynched.

Pensacola, Fla, July For GRIM
inally assaulting the six-year-old
daughter of farmer living near Bon
ifay, Fla, an unknown negro was
lynched at Milton, 20 miles east of
here early this morning. Shortly aft
er the crime was committed late yes
terday the negro was captured and
the sheriff made desperate efforts to
land his prisoner in jail at Pensacola.
After lodging the negro in jails of
two different counties, the sheriff at
tempted to reach Pensacola by train.
The mob stopped the train at Milton
and took possession of the prisoner.
AS Milton is 100 miles from the
scene of the negro's crime, the lynch
ing was postponed five hours until a
mob from Bombay arrived. The ne
gro was then strung up to telegraph
pole and his body riddled with bullets.
The Lody was left hanging. The
victim is at the point of death.

from the 7:h district, was present and
made stirring address. Mr.. Lever
asked that delegation as large as pos
sible be secured to 60 to Washington

visit of himself and the delegation to
the rivers and harbor committee fail
ed to have reversing effect on the re-
cent unfavorable report Of Major
lowell, he intended making strong
fight on the floor of Congress.

ings are held particularly for the in
struction of church leaders.

ment may be considered clearing
house of educational departments of
the mission boards in the United
States and Canada. The managers Of
this movement are secretaries of mis-
sion boards working in cooperation.
In this way the mission boards and
churches may be closely correlated
with the wishes, plans and objects of
the mission boards. .
There were six normal study classes,
one on each of the following subjects:
China, South America, Mexico, Imi-
grafton, Upward Path and class for
men only. The call of the world was
ably taught by DR.. E. O. Oronk Of
Columbia. A number of the leading
men representing the several denomi-
nations of the Southern States made
able addresses on the work of their
respective churches. The one on Sat.
urday evening wss made by Dr.. J. II.
Harms, president of Newberry Col
lege. On the subject, Christ.
One of the special interesting fea-
tures of the conference was the litera-
ture exhibit arranged by Mrs. E. G.

AMATEUR NIGHT ID
 BECOME A FIXTURE
SUCCESS OF INNOVATION AT PRINCESS LEADS TO AN IN.
 TEREsTlNG NEW IDEA.

On Friday night Of last week, Man ager Owens of the Princess, as a di. version from the regular vaudeville bill. induced the beauty chorus of the ,recent Eagles minstrels to take part in the bill for that one evening. The innovation met with such instant ia. vor with the audiences and the pa irons evidenced their approval in sucA splendid style that the management has decided to make every Friday night of the week amateur night, when at least one or more amateurs will be added to the regular bill
 Speaking of the matter last night, Manager Owens stated that the man. ner in which the patrons greeted the first amateur act he felt confident that this change as a regular weekly fix ture would be successful,
 There are a number of clever anna teurs in the city, young men and wom- en who have taken part in home tai. ent attractions with success, and these will be asked to volunteer to appear one night a week at the Princess. They will be paid for their work and, in addition, will be given all oppor- tunity to show their talent before a regular vaudeville house and on the regular stage.
 Manager owens asks that all anna. teurs desiring to appear report to him not later than Wednesday evening of this week and every week following, in order that the act or acts for the succeeding Friday may be chosen.
 It will be the first time that anna teur night" has been given real rtial in the city, and 1t goes without saying that it will be success from the start

He believes that his sale was conditional and that by remain ing non-committal he may force Pres ident Hermann of the Reds to recon sider the deal
 Tinker has told friends he would not consider the offer of Ebbets of S7.500 a year and $10.000 bonus to sign, unless the contract Is for three years He has said he would not con slider contract for one year unless the salary was $10,00O and even then might refuse Tinker has said he will not do anything until he is convinced he has no chance of playing again with the Cubs
 C, w. Murphy. owner of the Cubs, when he was in New York requested Hermann for permission to talk to Tinker and asked the Cincinnati pres ident to make list of players he wanted in exchange for his for mef manager.
 'lHerrmann wrote Archer and. I stopped him right there" Murphy said
 Murphy was surprised when he learned en route to Chicago that Tin ker was sold, but did not wish to yio- late major league ethics and make an offer for his former star.

REAL "CITY DOCTOR"
 IS HERE MONDAY
OR. HUTCHINSON OF THE BU.
 SEARCH ON SHORT VISIT.
Will Meet Citizens and Officials at the Business Mems League at f O'Clock Monday Morning.

For a very few hours Monday morn ing Dr. Hutchinson of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research. and one of the most famous "city doctors" in America, will be in TTot Springs Monday morning He will arrive at 70 o'clock, and will depart at o'clock for Pine Bluff.
 Miss Lillian Laser formerly con. nected with the New York Bureau, has persuaded Dr. Hutchinson to make this visit to Hot Springs, that he might meet with some of our citizens and business men and go over affairs with them He will be at the Busi. ness Mems League headquarters at II o'clock Monday morning.
 Dr. Hutchinson is en route from New York to Pine Bluff where he will make a survey of the municipal situation. That visit is the direct fruit of an address Miss Laser made recently in Pine Bluff, when She was called on to address the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and took for her subject the splendid work of the Bureau of Municipal Research Pine Bluff realized that 1t would profit by having an expert on municipal gov ernmant come and make q survey o' the situation, and the visit of Dr. is the result
 rTl,s, .4f.ts,r,,sul. himself famous when he undertook one of the deepest tanges in Phila- delphia--the straightaning ont of the water supply situation. He acquit ted himself with such distinction thar his work was made the subject of some magazine articles by the bes writers of the day.
 Dr. Hutchinson does not come tc rather stops off here a few hours en route to Pine Bluff because such { visit was solicited by Miss Laser for | merly one of his cOworkers. Miss Laser is most enthusiastic over the opportunity that Hot Springs has tC straighten out it's municipal problem | through securing expert aid and many of the business men are certan that it is none too soon to apply sush remedy to the local conditions
 Mayor McClendon is interested in the progressive schemes of handling municipalities, as are also tha mem . bers Of the council and asidc from their attendance Monday morning there should be a large number of business men and citizeIs gen"rdily 10 hear what pr. Hutchinson las 10 say.
The Sentinel=record., 1913-12-14

The Fortnightly Club will carry out this year their usual custom of play ing Santa Claus to the little ones whom he passes by. There are many such little ones in Hot Springs, and we feel sure that all who feel tender towards children will be happy to help in this work.
 Therefore, we appeal to the public for their cooperation and liberal re sponse as granted heretofore.
 MT. Wyatt kindly allows his store to be used for headquarters and will receive all donations any time be- tween now and Christmas. The nee. essfties are well provided for by the different organizations who look aft CT those things, but we feel that Christmas ought to mean something more than this. To provide the need full things of life to those less for utnate than ourselves is a duty we are always ready to perform, but to give pleasure and happiness to a lit- tie child at this season adds a charm to the Christmastide for exceeding any material comfort to the forlorn child waiting for Santa Claus"
 To do this would be a gift worthy the example set by Him who gave so rich a gift to the world
 Take a pair of stockings and slip one inside the other; then fill with fruit, candy and one toy Ga doll for girl and any suitable toy for a boy), and mark the stocking accordingly; also the age of child for which 1t is meant. Leave this with MT Wyatt and ,4he committee will see that some child is made happy with it. Chairman. Santa Claus Committee Fortniehtly Club
