Chance for Combination.

There are certain Northern states which
for various reasons have always chosen
to support their Southern brethren on
questions which the latter feared might
affect them unfortunately, and COM
bination of the National Committeeman
from these states, the Southern states
and the territories might easily prove
sufficient To prevent the adoption OF steps
favored by a considerable majority Of
voting Republicans. In a national con-
yention. however, such an outcome would
be highly unlikely. II not impossible

AGAIN HEARD FRON...W
ED. SMITH PLAYS DETECTIVE

After innumerable tips followed
by long trips in an endeavor to-
capture Nathan Jacobs, a negro
under sentence to be hung, Sheriff
7. H. Montgomery again received
message yesterday that the fright
man" was in limbo at Kansas City,
Mo. The wire came from Frank
Walker, a we'll known negro detec-
tive, and was followed hy another
message from the chief of detec-
tives at that place, stating that the
darkey acknowledged being from
Brookhaven, but further than that
would not talk. A picture and de-
scrlption were Immediately sent
back. as we'll as a wire ordering
the black to be held until they ar
rived, and if developments give
any reasonable chance of it being
the man wanted to swing here, Mr..
Montgomery will 60 after him.
Through the efforts of Deputy
Sheriff W. Ed Smith, a rather neat
piece of detective work was pulled
off a few days ago, this not being
the first time that Mr.. Smith has
proved his worth as man able to
see things. not on the surface, in a
criminal procedure, the negro
Jacobs. mentioned above, having
been brought to justice almost
wholly through MIR. Smiths efforts.
Some six or seven years ago.
Milton Smith, a negro, was in
dicted by the Lincoln county grand
jury for shooting into crowd with
intent to kill, horse going down
under one of the riders, but no per-
son was injured. Smith, on learn
ing that a negro by that name was
in jackson, Tenn and getting
other information. dug up the rec-
ords and through Jas. Hickman.
former resident here, had the
darkey arrested. and he was
brought back by the sheriff Mon
day and plsced in Jail to await
trial.

LEM FAILS TO SHOW UP
Anonymous Threatening Letters and
Court Charges Supposed to be
Cause Business Closed.

Mr.. A. Lenz. former baker OF
our city, left Brookhaven Sunday
Sept. z. ostensibly for Washington,
DC. with the only result known
SO far, that he failed to return.
This fact is announced by his wife
in another column in informing the
public of the closing of her hus-
bands business as she states, be-
cause he "did not return.
Mr.. Lenz came to Brookhaven
some ten or twelve years ago and
ran bakery and restaurant with
apparent financial success. Several
years ago he had accumulat ed
money and built an attractive cot
tage in our. city. In the making of
his home and the running of his
business his wife. a bright, ener-
getic and attractive German woman
assisted him and won the respect
of our people. The two worked
assiduously and built up a good
business. Now that the end to it
has come Mrs. Lenz will probably
60 to relatives in Chicago, or Wis
consin, with whom she was visiting
when the news reached her last
month that her husband was not
only charged in the City Court
with selling liquor. but later.
that his life had been threat
ened by an anonymous writer, or
writers. who had warned him in
letter to- cease accusations or giving
certain information with respect
to alleged derelictions of Mayor
Heuck. Lenz was hot on the
Mayors trail IN retaliation for his
own delinquency, which had been
brought out by tiger case-"act-
ing as agent"-and resulted in an
affidavit for retailing against him.
And so it came about that when
it was first told on the streets that
Mr.. Lenz had "gone to Washing
ton" people who knew his deter
mined character thought at once that
he was making his way to the Fed
eral Government to "get even"
and to prove that parties named in
a certain letter, among whom was
Mayor Heuck, were guilty of mis-
use of the mails. Others hinted
that additional threatening letters
had scared him away"
Since his failure to return it is
also surmised that Mr.. Lenz left to
escape trial in court for his own
alleged infraction of the law.

EIGHT CONVICTS SMOTHER.
Young Negroes Put in Dark Cell
Succumb---Guards Under
Charges.

Houston, Tex, Sept. Eight
young negroes, placed in dark
cell consisting of walls, three
planks in thickness, in a space nine
feet eight inches long by seven
feet one inch wide, smothered to
death at the Harlem State convict
farm Saturday night. The cell was
built to accommodate four prison
ers, ventilation being six holes, one
inch in diameter.
County Attorney Pearson asked
Coroner Fem to hold Sergeant Sid
Wheeler and Guards R. H. Stewart
and ). M. Fayne, and formal
complaint was made against them,
charging negligent homicide. They
we're admitted to bond in the sum
of 81 900 for the sergeant and $500
for each of the guards, pending an
examination, which was set for
Sept. 10 in Richmond.
As is usual when punishment is
being inflicted, the negroes cried
out and yelled most of the after
noon and night. This hubbub was
kept up almost continuously, and
the guard had no reason. so he
stated. to believe that there was
anything wrong. The convicts
naturally protest against the terrors
of the dark cell, and when water
was given them at 8 o'clock Satur-
day evening, they apparently were
all right.
Saturday night was excessively
hot, with great humidity. and this
caused discomfort even to those
who were in the bunkhouse.

LINCOLN COUNTY COTTON CROP
HAS RECEIVED SEVERE SET. BACK

The unprecedented rains of the
past week have done untoldaS Smage
to the cotton crop in Lincoln coun-
ty, making it impossible to get in
the fields to gather the crops as
well as the hurt done the plant
itself. From most favorable OUT
look four weeks ago, in some in
stances being the best since the
advent of the weevil, the crop has
steadily deteriorated until the gem
eral consensus is that the entire
county will not produce more than
$500 to $500 bales against 80. 600
in its best years. The weevil has
helped by making great inroads the
past several weeks to make the
backset what it now is. 1t can be
said, though. for the majority Of
the farmers Of Lincoln county. that
they have not depended on the crop
as main means Of livelihood and
have diversified to the extent that
a large percentage is now inde-
pendent Of a cotton failure.
