MOB LYNCHES A NEGRO
WOMAN IN CALHOUN COUNTY
TAKEN FROM GUARD HOUSE IN
LEARY. HER SON KILLED
E. Nj. MELVIN.

Mary Conley, the negro woman
whose son, Sam Conley, killed E. M.
Melvin, a prominent planter, near
Arlington, was taken from the guard
house in Leary and lynched. Her
body, riddled with bullets, was found
by the roadside during the early
morning hours.
When Melvin reprimanded Sam
Conley for the way the latter was
neglecting his work, the negro's
mother showed resentment. 1t is
claimed that Melvin then grappled
with her, whereupon Sam Conley
picked up an iron scale weight and
struck the white man on the head,
Melvin died short time later. Con-
ley escaped, but his mother was cap
tured and put in jail at Leary. The
lynching was very quiet.
The mob had no difficulty in break
ing into the guard house, which was
unguarded, the officers not anticipat-
ing trouble.
Sam Conley was captured at Pre-
toria, in the western part of Dough-
erty county, Thursday night by Jo-
seph Tolbert, who turned the negro
over to Sheriff farver. Conley en-
tered Tolbert's store to buy food. He
was taken to the Bib county Jail at
Macon for safe keeping.

THE FESTIVE MULE NOW
TRAVELS IN TRAIN DE LUXE
A Special Through Train to Georgia
for His Benefit.


for His Benefit.
ATLANTA, Ga.-Hats off, gentle
men, to the festive mule! Who
would have thought that the meek and
lowly hardtail, butt of innumerable
jokes, yet indispensable ally of the
Southern farmer, would be riding in
a mule train de luxe from st. Louis
to Atlanta. So great is the volume
of mule traffic moving from that city,
which is the concentration point of
mules in the west, to Atlanta, which
is the concentration point of mules in
the southeast, that the Southern rail
way has just inaugurated special
through train leaving St. Louis at 6
o'clock p. m. and arriving in Atlanta
at 3 o'clock a. m. on the morning of
the second day, thereby eliminating
the necessity of a stop-over for feed.
The high price of cotton and other
conditions of general prosperity in
the South have greatly stimulated the
mule trade.

STORM AND INSECTS
WROUGHT HAVOC
Loss of Nearly 100000 Bales of
Cotton in Growing Season. The
Fourth Largest Acreage.


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and in
sect damage have wrought havoc
with the cotton crop this year and
caused a loss of almost 100000
bales throughout the growing sea-
son. This years crop will be APP
proximately 11,367,00O equivalent
500-pound bales, according to the de-
partment of agriculture's forecast
basing its estimate on the condition
of the crop on September rs. In its
first forecast of production. made
from conditions existing June 25, the
quantity was estimated at 1926, 900
bales. The condition of the crop on
September 25 was 56.3 per cent or a
normal, which is the lowest condition
on record for that time of the year.
Fourth Largest Acreage.
Cotton this year was planted on
the fourth largest acreage ever re-
corded-35, 045, 900 acres. In 1911
when 36,045,000 acres were planted,
the crop was 15,693,O00 bales; in
1918, when there were 37,O89, 900
acres, the crop was 14,156,000 bales,
and in 1914, when the acreage was
36,832,000, the crop amounted to
1915, 900 bales.
Indications are that this years
crop will yield only 1868 pounds per
acre, compared with 207.7 pounds in
1911, 49, pounds in 1913 and 209.2
pounds in 1914.

SIX STEAMERS sunk
NEAR AMERICAN SHORE
HUNDRED AMERICAN TOURISTS
EN- ROUTE HOME WERE ON
ONE OF THE VESSELS.

BOSTON.-The submarine arm of
the imperial German navy ravaged
shipping off the eastern coast of the
United States Sunday.
Four British, one Dutch and one
Norwegian steamers were rent to the
bottom or left crippled derelicts off
Nantucket shoals.
Under the light of, the hunters
moon the destroyer fotilla of the
United States Atlantic fleet picked up
passengers and crews of the destroy
ed vessels and brought them into
Newport, R. l.
One Crew Not Found.
SO far as known there was no loss
of life, though at late hour the crew
of the British steamer Kingston had
not been accounted for.
A submarine held up the American
steamer Kansan, bound from New
York to Genoa with steel for the Ital-
ian government, but later, on estab-
fishing her identity, allowed her to
proceed. The Kansan came into
Boston harbor for her usual call.
The hostile submarine is believed
to be the U-53, which paid call to
Newport Saturday and disappeared
at sunset. Some naval men, how
ever, declared that at least two sub
marines are operating close to the
American shore, though outside the
three-mile limit.
The Ships Sunk.
The Strathdene, British freighter,
torpedoed and sunk near Nantucket;
crew taken aboard Nantucket Shoals
and later removed to New
port by torpedo boat destroyers. The
Strathdene left New York Saturday
for Bordeaux and was attacked at 6
a. m.
The West Point, British freighter,
torpedoed and sunk off Nantucket.
Grew abandoned the ship in small
boats after warning shot from the
submarines guns. Officers and men
were taken aboard destroyer. The
vessel was attacked at 10:45 a. m.
She was bound from London to New
port News.
The Stephano, British passenger
liner, plying regularly between New
York, Halifax and St. Johns, New
foundland, torpedoed southeast of
Nantucket while bound for New
York. Passengers and crew, num-
boring about 40, were picked up by
the destroyer Balch and transferred
to the destroyer jenkins. The attack
was made at 80 p. m.
The Kingston, British freighter,
torpedoed and sunk southeast of
Grew missing and de-
stroyer searching for them. This
vessel is not accounted for in mari
time registers and may be the King
stonian. The attack occurred at
6 p. m.
Bloomersdijk, Dutch freighter, tor
pedoed and sunk south of Nantucket.
Grew taken aboard destroyer. The
steamer was bound from New York
to Rotterdam.
The Chr Knudsen, Norwegian
freighter, torpedoed and sunk near
near where the Bloomersdijk went
down Crew picked up by destroy
ers. The vessel sailed from New
York Saturday for London.
Warnings Sent Broadcast
The sensation created Saturday
when the U-53 quietly slipped into
Newport harbor and as quietly slip
ped away three hours later, was less
than the shock in shipping circles
when wireless reports of submarine
attacks began to come into the naval
radio stations just before noon Sun
day Within a few minutes the air
was literally charged with electricity
as wireless messages of warning were
broadcasted along the coast.

Of the thousands of letters that
have recently been received at the

reads as follows:
Dear Sir: You will find inclosed a
testimonial from Professor Elmer

Professor Morris had a delicacy in
expressing himself and granted me
the right to give you the particulars
in his case.
He tells me that he has been a
great sufferer from chronic stomach
and bowel trouble and never had been
able to get anything to give him any
relief. He fell off in weight from
225 pounds to ITS pounds. He went
to Dawson Springs, KY, and when. he
came back he said he was no better.
l persuaded him to try Tanlac. He
weighed on my scales at the time he
began taking it and only weighed ITO
pounds. After taking three bottles
of Tanlac he had gained 20 pounds
When he brought this, testimonial to
me he had gained four pounds more
and weighed 1914 He did not want
to get back to 225 pounds and decid-
ed to quit taking Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the public
schools in Stewart county, Tenn. He
lives here in one mile of my store and
bought the Tanlac from me. His
true postofice is Dover, Tenn, R. F..
D. No. /. Professor Morris state
ment is as follows:
81 have Just finished my third bot
tie of Tanfac and have gained 20
pounds. just weighed ITO pounds
and now l weigh 100 and never felt
better in my life.
81 have been a great sufferer from
stomach trouble for about one year.
| tried every doctor I could get to-,
and went to a health resort at Daw-

good. | decided. to take Tanlac and
found it to be the best medicine
ever tried.
