SUMTER CITY
HAS BIG FIRE
$25, 900 Loss Caused By Early
Morning Blaze-Five Build
mgs Destroyed

SUMTER, Sept. 21.-(Special. }
Rodgers and Sniders ginnery, the
C. B. Bailey mercantile business,
the Methodist church and two other
buildings, one used as a warehouse
and the other vacant were destroy
ed here early this morning by fire
which for a time threatened to wipe
out the entire business and resident
section of the town. The total loss
is estimated at approximately $25.-
900.
Residents are of the opinion that
the fire was started by negroes, who
frequently gather in the rear of the
ginnery to gamble on Sunday nights.
The blaze was discovered at 1870
this morning, and ragged for several
hours. Efforts were made to reach
the Americas fire department by
phone, but no connection could be
obtained. A bucket brigade was
formed, but the fire was not check
ed until it had consumed everything
in its path.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Pres-
ident Coolidge narrowly escaped
being struck by an automobile while
walking in the downtown section
last night, and the driver of the car
was arrestede on charge of vio-
lating traffic regulations.
The president had just stepped
fro mthe curb into a street at a
corner when the automobile, cutting
this corner, was said to have borne
down upon him. He was only saw
ed by being struck by the agility of
a secret service man who grabbed
his arm and drew him back to the
curb.
Another of the four secretservice
men with the president jumped on
to the running board Of the car and
caused the arrest of the driver when
he came to a traffic policeman a
block away.

nance of the modern Orient, the
romance of Mustapha Renal and
good-looking LATHE Hanoum, went
smash after what seemed two years
of unaIloyed happiness, close COM
radeship and joint work for Turk
ish glory.
This is the solution of the secret
that has intrigued every foreign of
flee in Europe. It's the answer to
the riddle furnished by LATHE Han
cum herself.
II loved my husband" she said,
''but our union stood in the path of
further advancement and, as in the
case of Josephine it is the woman
who must be sacrificed. We were as
happy as Adam and Eve in the Gar
den until the tempting serpent came
What was the serpent? That's a
secret that will go to the grave with
me. My husband had to choose be-
tween me and his career and he
chose"
The suks and bazars of all the
swarming East buzzed with the
secret. LATHE Hanoum had pre-
sented her husband with no children.
It's the story repeated in the Old
Testament from Abraham onward.
It is told in a myriad of Oriental
books.
The husband desiring offspring
puts away the childless wife.
Only LATHE, being a modern
Turkish educated woman, speaking
German, French and English as
fluently as her native tongue,
didn't choose to compare herself to
Oriental wives. Hence the reference
to Josephine. And Renal is her
Napoleon.

DETAILS OF
LYNCHTNG

NEW ALBANY, Miss, Sept. 81
=. +. Ivey, negro timber cutter,
was burned at the stake by a mob
which had taken him from officers
near here this afternoon. Ivy ac-
eoridng to Sheriff John W. Rob
erts, confessed that ne attacked the
daughter of a farmer in the Etah
community, 10 miles from here Fri
day. He was returned to the scene
Z the attack and burned to death.
The negro was brought from
Aberdeen this afternoon so that the
girl could identify him as the attack
er. On arriving at a local hospital
where the girl is in a serious con-
ditiOn, the negro confessed the
crime after the victim had identi-
fled him, Sheriff Roberts declared.
Members of the mob blocked every
road leading out of New Albany.
The two sheriffs started at a high
speed in the direction of Holly
Springs, followed by hundreds of
automobiles.
?About eight miles from New Al
bany the sheriff's car ran into a
barricade of automobiles stretched
across the road. The mob closed
in from every direction.
Not shot was fired by the Off
GERS, Sheriff Roberts declaring la
ter that resistance was useless.
Leaders of the mob learned of the
intention of officers to bring the
negro back today, and every road
was watched. They blockaded the
roads into the town after the two
officers had entered New Albany
with their prisoner.
After they had seized the negro
the mob started the march back t.
Etah with cries of 'burn him."
Pile of brush were heaped
around the stake to which the negro
was tied and he screamed as they
were ignited. In few moments
his body was enveloped in flames
and his outcries stilled.
Witnesses to the burning of Ivy
declared the negro was dead in q
few minutes after the fire had been
started under him. After his first
few screams he seemed to become
calm, they declared.
The negro's body had been cover
ed with kerosene, and it is believed

many moons, according to old resi-
dents.
People who are fortunate enough

declare that last night was the most
uncomfortable of the summer, and
that the light breeze that sprung
up about night only caused them ad-
dftional irritation, it feeling as
though it had originated in the VIC

Electric fans in the city were do

suffering residents who are not so

''breeze manufacturers" wore them
selves out tanning, and gradually
dozed off into a restless sleep, COM
pletely exhausted. Mattresses were
dragged from beds and placed on
the floors near windows and on
front and back porches, but little
relief from the heat was afforded
by these changes.
Every resident Of Americas, re-
CARELESS of age, denomination, sex
or color, readily admits that this
summer has been the most depres-
sive in the history Of the municipal
;ty as far as they know. This is
borne out by the fact that several
heat prostrations have been report

the memory of the city's old physi-
clans. Several weeks ago negro
fireman on the Central Of Georgia
railroad passed out while his engine
was watering here, and few days
later a rural mail carrier while re-
pairing a tire fen a victim to the
suns torrid rays.
The people Of Americas are not
the only sufferers from the heat,
