while here that he had been all
over Texas east, west. north,
south and centraI-and he had
found no country that equals this
part of independence county. A
year in Texas has thoroughly con-
verted him into an enthusiastic
booster for independence county

back to country where there
are evidences Of thrift and pros
perty. The many friends of this
excellent family will be glad to

NEWPORT OFFICER MURDERED;
GUILTY NEGRO IS LYNCHED
REPORT CONSTABLE SHORT;
HE SAYS IT IS A MISTAKE

The report Of the county COM
missioners of accounts shows a
shortage in the accounts of Con-
stable g. W. Conner of this town
ship, and the statement is made
that he is due the county $500
in fines.
When asked about the matter
by Journal representative few
days ago Constable Conner stated
that it was purely mistake, and
that his books would show that he
had turned in every fine collected
by him. He thinks the report is
based upon the assumption that
all fines assessed in the local courts
were paid in cash, when in fact a
number of them were served out
IN jail or on the county road gang.
He is confident that when the
the matter IS brought to the at
tention of the proper officials of
the county the mistake will be
readily seen and corrected.

KEEP OUT OF RANGE

When a preacher hits a certain
sin, and there is sinner behind
that sin, he thinks the preacher is
hitting him. The way for the sin
ner to do is to get away and let
the shot go. God hits sin, and
hits it hard, but He is gentle and
long suffering to the sinner. Let
the sinner get out of the way and
he won't be hit. "A shot at drunk
enneSs need not hit the drunkard.
But many a man thinks so.

Caught Robbin6 Store,
Shoots Officer and is
Lynched by NJ oh

One of the grimmcst tragedies
ever enacted in this section of the
state occurred last Sunday in
Newport, when Policeman James
S. Payne was killed by some
negroes whom he caught in the
act Of robbing the Haff ner gro
Gerry store, and the subsequent
lynching of one the negroes in the
court house yard.
Officer Payne caught the ne
groes, Howard Davis and John
Woodland, in the act Of robbing
the Haffner grocery about 2:30
Sunday morning. He attempted
to arrest them, when the negroes
opened fire on him and he was
shot just below the left shoulder
blade, the bullet penetrating the
lung and passing out through the
right breast. After he fell, Officer
Payne drew his pistol and fired at
the negroes, who turned and ran
and the shot took effect in Davis
leg.
There were no eye witnesses to
the killing but parties passing
about 4 o'clock discovered Payne's
dead body. The trail of blood
from the wound in the negro's
leg enabled the officers to follow
him and the negro was found at
the home of Bob Griffin, another
negro, where he was placed under
arrest and taken to jail He inn
plieated the Woodland negro who
was later arrested and jailed,
also.
Early Sunday morning a crowd
began to gather around the jail,
where the two negroes were i'm
prisoned, under guard of Sheriff
McCuistion and two deputies.
About Il o'clock as Deputy H. S.
Simmons was leaving the jail,
leaders of the mob overpoWered
him and took the jail keys. They
then rushed into the Jail, took
Davis from his cell and hanged
him to d tree III the court house
yard. An attempt was made to
secure Woodland also but Sheriff
McCuistion dissuaded the mob by
telling them that they had lynch
ed the guilty negro, and the mob
quietly dispersed. However, an
other crowd began to gather
around the Jail in the afternoon
and Sheriff McCuistion quietly
