MOB STORMS JAIL
 TO LYNCH NEGROES
Special Guard for Five Blacks Rout Assailants, but Troops Are
 Called For.

Goldsboro, N. C., Dec. 3-One man. Fl. Futrell. former deputy sheriff of Wayne county, was shot last night by the special guard of twelve citizens barricaded in the Wayne county court house, when a mob of citizens fired upon the jail in the attempt to seize and lynch five negroes held for trial, charged with the murder of a white man.
 Otes. Barricaded behind felt mat tresses, the small force in the court house returned the fire and Futrell, said to have been the leader of the mob, was killed. The mob scattered, but further trouble was expected and a company of state troops is enroute hero from Durham.
 The men were arrested ten days ago for tho murder of Hermann Jones, a grocer. and were kept in Raleigh un- til last night. The sheriff evaded the mob that waited at the station for his prisoners by getting off the train outside the city and spending the night in the woods.
 In the morning, the sheriff Jagged a train and returned with the five to Raleigh, where he reported to Judge Deven of the Superior Court that troops would be needed if a trial was to be held. The judge sent them back to Goldsboro with several county officers, who succeeded in getting them into the town safely.

PORTO RICO HAVING
 PROSPERITY WAVE
During Past Year People There Have Been Better Fed and Clothed
 Than Ever Before.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The people of Porto Rico, benefitting from a wave of prosperity which overspread the territory during the last fiscal year. were better fed and better clothed than during any year in the island s history, Arthur Wager, territorial gov ernor, declares in his annual report made public today.
 ''The general prosperity of the island," Governor Wager asserts, "has included every form of business with the possible exception of the citrus fruit growers, who were unfortunately gravely injured by the tieup of boats of October and November due to the strike of the stevcdores in New York harbor."
 Exports of the island were placed by the governor at s15o, ,s11, ,449, an increase of about 90 per cent over that of the year previous. The islands inn ports also broke all previous records, reaching a total of S96, ,3SS,534.
 The greatest part of the increase in the value of exports is said by the governor to have been due to the un- precedented high prices received for sugar.
 Governor Yager's sole recommenda- ton is repetition of his previous sug- gestion that the provision of the farm loan act be extended to Porto Rico.
