SORRY HE DIDN'T SLAY MORE.
Former Convict Makes Confession
Admitting Three Homicides.

Lake Charles, La, Aug. 17.-Hel-
aire Carriere, former convict and
slayer of Sheriff Swords, of Saint
Landry parish, tonight made state
ment to District Attorney Edwards,
of Calcasieu parish, in which he ad-
mitted he had killed three persons
during the past year, and expressed
regret that he had not made the total
greater. Besides Sheriff Swords,
Carriere said, he killed Daye Pierce,
a negro, near Jennings, La, in self
defence, and shot and killed an 49,
year-old negro boy in the Mallett
section of Saint Landry parish, be-
cause he had learned the boy had
been promised $25 if he would re-
veal his hiding place after he had es-
capped from the Jennings Jail.
Carriere was captured early today
near Elton, by Sheriff Reid, of Cal
casieu parish, and five deputies. Car
riere, attempting to escape, received
charge of buckshot through the
lungs, fired from Sheriff Reid's gun.
At the Calcasieu parish jail, where
Carriere is being held, it was stated
tonight that the prisoner would not
recover.

FIVE SWUNG BY MOB.
Three Men and Two Women Taken
From Jail in Florida Town.

Gainesville, Fla, August 19.-Five
negroes, three men and two women,
we're taken from the jail at New
berry, Fla, early today and hanged
by mob, and another negro was
shot and killed by a posse near
Jonesville, Fla, as the result of the
killing yesterday of Constable S. w.
Wynne and the shooting of DR.. L.
G.. Harris by Boisey Long, negro.
The lynched negroes were accused of
aiding Long to escape. Further trou-
bic is feared
Dispatches from Newberry tonight
said that the mob, which lynched the
five negroes, was composed of about
200 men and worked quietly and
rapidly. After gaining entrance to
the Jail they took their victims to a
point about mile from town and
hanged all on one large oak tree.
Not shot was fired, the dispatches
said.
The negro shot near Jonesville al
so was said to have aided Long to
escape.
Wynne and DR.. Harris we're shot
when they went to- Longs home at
Newberry early yesterday morning
to arrest him on charge of stealing
hogs. It is said Long drew a pistol
from his night clothing and fired.
Wynne was rushed to Jacksonville,
where he died yesterday at noon.
Several hundred negroes are en-
ployed in phosphate mines near New
berry.

DRY IN CHARLESTON.
Liquor Laws More Rigidly Enforced
Than in Past Forty Years.

Magistrate O'Shaughnessy, OF
Charleston, in commenting on the
arrest and conviction of a man
named Ford on the charge of trans
porting liquor, on Wednesday, said:
81 have been here so years and ]
have never seen the liquor laws SO
rigidly enforced. When a man
breaks the prohibition law now he is
certainly taking long chances with
his freedom, or else doesn't love free
DOM"
No wonder the blind tigers hiss
Manning, who is responsible for this
condition of affairs in Charleston.
But it must be remembered that the
majority of the crowd attending the
Charleston campaign meeting was
for Manning and that he was ap-
plauded to the echo when he boldly
announced his determination to en-
force the law in Charleston in the
future as in the past.
The majority of the people OF
Charleston are law respecting and
will uphold the hands of the COVER
nor who shows a determination to
put a curb on crime and disorder.
In the past they have endured the
condition of laWlessness fastened
upon the city by the blind tigers, be-
cause they saw no hope for better
things under the administration, but
they have never denied the existence
of a rule of lawlessness or defended
the conditions that have been dis
grace to the community.-Sumter
