NEGRO |SPURSUED
BY |RATE MOB
Chiffon County Citizens
Search for Negro Charged
With Assault

Montgomery, January 4.-(SpeciaL)-
While Governor O'Neal rode through
Chiffon county Saturday morning mob
rule became the propelling force which
carried angry citizens over hill and
through valley in an effort to punish
an unsndentified negro who was
charged with criminally assaulting a
white woman in remote section of
the county.
The governor wired to his private
secretary John D. McNeel, to notify
the sheriff of Chiffon county to do
everything in his power to prevent a
lynching and that the state of Ala
bama was depending on him to pro-
tect the life of the person being pur-
sued.
Late reports were that If the negro
had been caught by the mob no news
had been received in towns near the
railroad.
Governor O'Neal was with a party
on a trip to lock No. IL, where the
Alabama Interstate Power company is
erecting a reservoir. When he reached
Ocampo, eight miles south of the county
seat of Clanton, Governor O'Neal no
titled his secretary that the mob was
after the negro and Instructed him to
communicate with the sheriff i'm
mediately. Secretary McNeel talked
with a deputy sheriff and obtained the
information that the alleged crime was
committed several miles from the
county seat. The officer was instructed
to employ as many deputies as were
necessary to protect the mans life in
the event he We're arrested.
1t later developed that the name OF
the white woman upon whom a crimi-
nal assault was attempted last night
is Mrs. Elijah Arledge. who lives about
ten miles from Clanton, in Chiffon
county The negro who attempted the
assault is said to be Walter Lawhorn,
eighteen years of age, who worked on
the place.
Mr. Arledge, the husband of the
woman, was absent from home at the
time the crime was attempted The
screams of Mrs. Arledge proved to be
her best weapon against the negro
for one of her children was awakened
by the noise. and this child, a daugh-
ter of about eight years rushed to her
mothers room and struck the negro
she had in her hands. The negro, prob
ably thinking that other assistance
was near at once abandoned his pur-
pose and fled.
AT late hour this afternoon 1t was
reported that the negro had not bee n
caught although a posse of determined
white men had spent the entire day
in the woods with guns 1t is be-
lieved that the negro made his escape
from the county.

could be extended west from Selma ns
far as Livingston.
According to Mr.. Kellar's plan several
splendid highways would lead out of Bir-
mingham, one leading to Tuscaloosa and
extending as far as Carrollton and one
extending from Birmingham In north-
easterly direction and passing through
Oneonta, Gadsden and thence extending
as far south as Admission.
Another long trunk road would cut
through north Alabama from Florence to
Scottsboro passing through Tuscumbia,
Decatur and Huntsville.
This system of roads would extend
1905 miles in length.
Maintained by Government
Should these roads be completed, it is
believed that they might be maintained
by the government. Governor o'Neal re-
Gently received a letter from Senator
Bourne of oregon, asking for a map OF
such roads as might either be maintained
or improved by the government. He pre-
sented the letter to State Engineer Hel-
Ter, who will shortly supply Senator
Bourne with the information which he
desires. In the opinion of Mr.. Keller il
these roads were constructed 1t might be
possible to have the government main
tain them, as the government is making
preparations TO expend large sums OF
money In the various states of the union
in highway construction work.
The cost of maintaining the system of
trunk roads which Mr.. Keller has planned
would amount to something like 100000
per annum or about S100 per mile, and
since he believes the government can be
depended upon to keep up the roads If
they are once constructed he deems
it all the more important that every
DOssible effort should be made TO build
a system of highways extending through
the state in all direction.
AS a system of roads which the gov
ernment might improve Mr.. Keller will
submit maps showing a series of high
ways which might be built up in al
parts of the state. One OF these roads
will extend from Bay Minette up through
Brewton, Andalusia, Elba and Ozark
Another would extend from Montgomery
to Greenville and thence to Brewton,
parellel with the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad. Another highway would
extend from Birmingham in northwest
erly direction up through Jasper to Rus
sellville. These are some of the high
ways which Mr.. Keller will suggest tc
Senator Bourne for Improvement
Since the creation of the highway de-
partment interest in road building in the
state has shown a steady increase. with
the result that is is expected that prac-
tically every county in the state will
apply this year for state aid in the con-
struction of public roads. Governor
O'Neal has used his utmost efforts 10
create deeper interest in road building
and the members of the highway CON-
mission have co-operated with the gov
ernor in making the department one OF
the most popular institutions of the
states government.

"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS,

A criticism from The Democrat
Nashville, Tenn. OF October 4, on
Polly of the Circus" which will be
seen at the Elks Theatre on Tuesday
night. October II
Weise and Moxon presented Miss
Elsie St Leon in the title role of
Polly OF the Circus" to large and
appreciatiye audience last night at
the Vendome. This sweet and simple
play. we'll known to Nashvill theater-
goers. which was originally written
for Miss Mabel Tallaferro by Mar
garet Mayo, and produced by Freder-
ck Thompson, has been presented
all We're good. Miss st Icons inter-
probation last evening was as good
ii not better than that of the former
stars
The play is unusually pathetic,
with just enough humor and wit to
relieve the strong tension. Miss st.
Leon is an exceptionally strong emo
tional actress. and won the audience
from the first with her much O.
bliged," after having the minister
read her a chapter in the Book OF
Ruth which says. And thy people
shall be my people, thy God my
God She showed her strength in
the second act when she learned she
was causing the village people to
talk about the minister who had be.
friended her and with whom she had
made her home since she was hurt
in the circus. and decided TO leave
and let him think it her choice al
though she would rather have died
thar to return to her former life
Many touching incidents of the
circus life is portrayed, and it is
shown now they are so often mis-
understood and prosecuted by the
narrow minded, being in this case tne
village people, who caused the urssu-
minded minister to finally resign and
go with Polly, with whom he is in
love, and who he knows is good and
pure.
The entire cast was especially
good. John Harris, as the Rev. John
Douglas, minister of village of the
Middle West, played opposite Miss st.
Leon, and was up to his part in every
way. Among others deserving special
mention are Mart e. Kelsey as Big
Iin,'' who, with Robert Lee as
Uncle Toby We're Pollys protec-
