Southern Jail Stormed by
Rioters, Who Attack
Police and Guard
Prisoner Disappears
Upwards of Score Injured in
Outbreak by Mob in
Winston-Salem, N. c.

WINSTON N. c., Nov. IT,
The death toll in the riot here tonight
which followed efforts of a mob to
storm the city jail and lynch negro
prisoner had been increased at mid
night to five-a girl spectator. city
fireman and three negroes. The police
believe that a detailed search to-mor
row will show that at least seven per
sons and maybe more were killed.
Upward of a score of persons are be-
lieved to have been injured, five or six
Of them seriously. They are mostly
Hhite persons, and include two men,
bers of the Home Guard, which was
called out when the mob made its sec
ond visit to the Jail after shooting a
negro and accidentally wounding a
white prisoner in the afternoon.
Try to Lynch Negro
The mob was trying to lynch negro
accused of shooting j. E. Childress and
Sheriff Flint and attacking Mrs. Chill
dress last night.
on in different parts of the city, the
mob finally having broken into small
groups. Efforts Of the home guard
and the police to restore order were
unavailing even at that time and Gov
ernor Beckett was asked to intervene.
He ordered Hon.c Guards here from
Greensboro and arranged to have a
company of regular soldiers sent from
Camp Polk. near Raleigh.
The known dead are Rachael Levi, 8
Young woman bystander, who was shot
through the dungs, and Robert Young,
a fireman, who also was shot.
Negro Hurt Seriously
The mob first formed this afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock and stormed the
jail. Three shots we're fired and the
negro accused of shooting the two men
and attacking Mrs. Childress was Sc
riously wounded, while white pris-
oner named Tragg was hit in the arm
by stray bullet.
After some difficulty the police sue
ceeded in clearing the crowd out Of
the building and then the mayor called
out the home guard. Quiet reigned for
time, but later the report went
around that the negro shot was not the
man that had been sought. BY night
fall the mob had reformed and started
marching for the Jail, which was sur
rounded by home guards.
Hardware stores were broken into
and revolvers, shotguns and other
weapons and ammunition taken. AS
the mob marched it increased in size,
and when it's objective was reached it
numbered several thousand.
Fight Mob with Hose
The Mayor sought to address the
crowd, but could not be heard In the
meantime fire companies had arrived,
and when the mob broke for the Jail
the firemen turned water on them.
Firing Immediately followed and
Young was shot dead. A bullet hit
Mrs. Levi, who was watching near by.
The home guards answered the volley,
but the mob quickly overpowered them
and went into the Jail. Two members
Of the guard were badly hurt by being
thrown bodily down a stairway which
they we're guarding.
Apparently the mob did not find the
negro it sought, for no more Of the
prisoners were fired upon. After an
hour or more the mob left the Jail and
started marching through the business
section Of the town.

Actors Threaten to Strike
If Refused Equity Contract
Five Hundred Members Of Association Favor Walkout il
Theatrical Managers, Especially Shuberts Reject
Demands for Half Pay During Rehearsals

To strike, or not to strike? That
was a question which four thousand
member of the Actors Equity Associa-

to answer for them.
Five hundred members of the or
ganization, meeting at the Hotel Astor.

refuse to give performers an Equity

This contract provides that an actor
shall have half pay for rehearsals

manager is free to an actors time in
definitely without pay for rehearsals.
Against "Half Pay" Weeks
1t also insists that managers either
lay off company during Holy Week
and Christmas week or else give them
full pay. Under old contracts man
ayers have the privilege of working
actors during these weeks but giving
them only half pay.

principal producers except the Shu-

HIGH HEELS PUT

TELLS WOMEN HOW TO DRY UP A
CORN so 1T LIFTS OUT WITH
OUT PAIf.

Modern high heeled footwear buck
les the toes and produces corns, and
many of the thousands of hospital
cases of infection and lockjaw are the
result of trying to cut away these
painful pests.
For little cost there ca nbe obtained
at any pharmacy quarter of an ounce
of drug called freezone, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus without the
slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and all, lifts right out. 1t is sticky
substance, which dries the moment it
is applied, and thousands of men and
women use it because the corn shrlve-
els up and comes out without infiam-
ing or even irritating the surrounding
tissue or skin. Cut this out and try il
if your corns bother you. adv

Parable OF the Height OF the Sky
have a little Granddaughter, and
she is the daughter Of the daughter
of Keturah. And on many days last
summer she spake to md, saying,
Grandpa, want to Swing. And
whatsoever / was doing / did it no
more, but went and Swung her.
/ Now on one of those days she look
ed up into the great Pine Trees where
the Swing was hung, and she asked
me Questions. And / showed her how
Limbs separated into SIN II e r
Branches, and the Branches into
Twigs, and the Twigs feathered out
into Delicate Pine Needles.
And all this she saw. And she saw
that there was Blue Beyond the Tops
fthe Trees, which showeth in Mar
vellous Beauty through the Tracery
of the Pine Needles. And she asked,
Grandpa, what is that? And l told
her that the Blue above the tops of
the trees was the Sky.
And she looked long at the Sky, and
lit appeared Very High as she saw it
through the Treetops. And when she
saw How High it was, she considered,
and she said:
But / can hardly reach it.
That was all she said of it, and she
is not yet three years old.
She could hardly reach it; even as
the man Of God in olden times thought
the eHaven and the knowledge of God
too wonderful for him and said, 1t is
high; l cannot attain unto it.
And yet she did not say she could
not entirely reach it. For the Sky
beginneth not far above the tree tops,
but at the very ground; and the little
damsel toucheth it with her finger
tips all the day long. And they are
such delicate little finger tips.
Oh, my God, as the heaven is high
above the earth, so are Thy ways
above our ways, and we can hardly
reach Thee; yet do / thank Thee that
Thou art not wholly out of erach.
Thou art as near unto me as the Sky
is nigh unto the little Maiden, and
that is not quite out of reach.
