PROTECT NEGROES
With MACHINE GUNS
GOVERNOR BECKETT DECLARES
ACCUSED MEN MUST
BE SAVED.

Asheville, N. c., July 18.-"Capt.
Fowler, protect those prisoners at all
hazards, and notify the people / have
ordered you and your machine gum
ners to shoot straight if an attempt
on the life of the prisoners is made"
is the order given by Governor Bick-
EFT tonight over long distance tele-
phone, from Asheville to Capt. Marion
B. Fowler, captain of the Durham ma
chine gun company, which is protect
ing the Jail at Graham, in which three
negroes, charged with an assault on a
white woman were lodged today.
Later Governor Beckett got into
communication with Capt. Fowler and
learned that the machine gunners had
the situation we'll in hand and at 10
o'clock tonight quiet prevailed.
Three machine guns had been placed
around the Alamance Jail, while troops
armed with high power rifles patrol
led the immediate vicinity Of the coun-
ty bastile, allowing no large gather
ings.
Governor Beckett authorized the
captain to make public a statement
notifying the people of Alamance that
no mob violence would be tolerated
and that the lives Of the prisoners
must be saved at all hazards, and or
dered the machine gunners to "shoot
straight if the need arose." The Chief
Executive also informed Capt. Fowler
that other companies of the State Ma
tional Guard would be called out If
he should need them to protect the
lives of the prisoners and instructed
the captain in charge of the situation
to notify the adjutant general, who
is also here, if additional forces are
necessary.
County attorney for Alamance, E.
S. Parker, prevailed upon the crowd
to let the law take its course and as
sisted in keeping the mob violence
down until the arrival Of the machine
gunners. Capt. Fowler was instruct
ed by the adjutant general to remove
the prisoners under guard to some
other county, or to the State peniten-
tiary, if he could do so without in
citing the mob to violence.
At late hour tonight Governor
Beckett had heard nothing further
from Graham and presumed things
had quieted down.

COUPLE RECENTLY Moved TO
FLORENCE FROM CHARLES
TON-INQUEST TODAY.

Florence, July 2O.-Mrs. Edna Bur-
CESS, aged forty-four, shot and killed
her husband, Guy Burgess, supervis-
or of the Atlantic Coast Line signal
system, in their room, near the At
lantic Coast Line depot, ABOUT 6 o.
clocl, this afternoon. Letters and a
picture of a woman in Knoxville,
Tenn, found in possession If her hus-
band, Mrs. Burgess stated to the
chief of police, was the cause of her
action. Mrs. Burgess is in the city
Jail tonight. The inquest will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow me rning.
Five times did Mrs. Burgess shoot
her husband. She reloaded the weap-
on once and emptied it into her hus-

ASSAULTED BY NEGRO
Ferryman Crib Passes Away at kei-
lev Sanatorium from Injuries.

MIR. Ollie Crib, employed as boat
man at Browns Ferry, on Black riv-
er in Georgetown County, died at the
Kelley sanatorium here early Sunday
morning from the effects of an al
legged muderous assault upon him by
one, Caleb Frazier, 17-year negro
bow, who he had ferried across the
river.
The facts in the case so far as The
Record has been able to gather them,
indicate that about midnight Friday,
the negro appeared at the home of Mr..
Crib, and wanted to be carried across
the river. Mr.. Crib refused to take
him at that time of night and asked
that to wait until morning which
the negro did, and at daylight
Saturday the two set out across the
river. When near the opposite land
ing the negro picked up a crank bar
and struck the ferryman over the head
from behind, inflicting wound from
which he died early Sunday morning.
The limp, unconscious body OF the
ferryman was rushed to Kingstree,
where an X-ray picture was made OF
the wound. 1t was learned by this
that the skull was fractured from the
top to the base. It is alleged that the
negro struck the ferryman from be-
hind, the first blow knocking him
down. He struck his victim several
blows after he was down.
DR.. Kelley and his assistants did all
they could to save the mans life and
it was thought at one time that he
rallied slightly, but death followed
soon afterwards.
Mr.. Cribs body was taken to his
home in Georgetown county Sunday
morning, after being prepared for
burial by Undertaken Courtney.
The negro, whose home is at RHEIMS,
in Williamsburg County, made. his es-
cape into Georgetown, where he was
arrested by the sheriff of that county;
but it was found necessary to secretly
send the prisoner away for fear OF a
lynching. The woods were secured
all day Sunday by hundreds of men
bent on doing violence to the negro
who so ruthlessly killed the ferryman'
apparently without any cause or rea-
son. The arrest of the negro was not
made known to the posse until the
sheriff was notified that his prisoner
was safe in the Florence iail.
The negro, we understand is now in
the penitentiary at Columbia for safe
keping.

The Marion tobacco market opened
Tuesday with good sales at all three
warehouses. The farmers realized
good prices for their tobacco, consid-
ering that most of the tobacco offered
there was of low grade. The ware
housemen have increased and improv-
ed their facilities for handling the
crop, and it is expected that this will
be the best season the Marion market

The County Record and the
Contest Manager, acting for the
interest of all concerned. con-
testants as we'll as The County
Record, announce IN extension
of this campaign, the closing
date of which is set for Tues
day, August 31st, 200 P. NJ,
INSTEAD of August 7th or
18th, as originally designated.
This new date was decided on
only after considerable thought
and for the following reasons:
First: Owing to weather con-
ditions and to sickness in some
Of the homes, a number of con-
testants are just now getting
started.
Second: The lateness Of the
season has prevented farmers
from disposing of their tobacco,
which they are just now pre-
pairing for market, and this has
caused some to delay sending in
their renewal till little later.
Third: There yet remains
MANY HUNDREDS OF FAM
lilies IN THE COUNTY who
do not take The Record or who
have not yet renewed their sub
scription, and it is in order to
give workers in the race suffi-
cient opportunity to call Oh these
people, that we have decided to
extend the contest until August
31st.
The campaign will positively
close on that day and all workers
are advised to plan the remain
der of the time on the basis of
this extra extension.
