OF GOVERNOR
Heyward Pleaded
Earnestly With
Mob for Order.
Special to The Georgian.
Greenville, S. C. f Aug. 17.—In the
presence of the governor of the state,
who had pleaded earnestly for law and
order, and within the shadow of the
home of his victim, who Is in a pitiable
condition from the brutal assault made
upon her, Bob Davis, the negro who
murderously attacked Miss Jennie
Brooks, daughter of a merchant at
Ucotuvwo.od, Monday... and who. after
wards assaulted a 14-year-old negro
girl/ Was. .lynched' at 7.*30 o’clock yes
terday evening.
About 800 citizens composed the mob
und there was no riotous outbursts, but
the men listened quietly to the speech
of Governor Heyward, who had hasten
ed to the scene of trouble from Colum
bia, and then proceeded to carry out
their purpose.
Platform Erected.
Governor Heyward reached the scene
shortly after the negro had been cap
tured. A platform was erected in a
fence corner on the premises of the
victim’s father from which Governor
Heyward addressed the mob in an ef
fort to prevent the lynching.
The mob then removed the prisoner
to a place within a short distance of
the home of the victim, where the ne
gro was riddled with bullets. It Is Im
possible to estimate the crowd, us citi
zens from several counties hod gath
ered at the scene and for two days had
been In pursuit of the fiend, but it is
certain that hundreds of bullets were
sent through his body.
Militia Away.
The militia in that section of the
etate is now encamped at Chlckamau-
ga and there were no nearby troops to
be called upon. The governor’s guards
an.l the Richland Volunteers of this
city had been ordered to hold them-
felves in readiness in the event that
their services were needed, but the mob
was determined and It 1« doubtful If
the presence of soldiers could have pre
vented the lynching.
Girl Identlfiea Assailant.
The negro was captured In a creek,
tied hand and foot, and brought to the
home of hla victim for identification.
A great crowd had gathered at the
Books home.
“Let's wash his face, boys, before we
take him to the house,” said Home one,
but the crowd was too Impatient. Four
men were delegated to escort him to
the house. The young lady, lying on
her bed, with a deep gash in her throat,
turned her eyes toward the negro as he
stood there between his captors.
“That’s the scoundrel,” she said. 'I
know him by his eyes."
The Governor Speaks.
“Hear the governor,” said some one,
and he began:
I know,” he said, "tpat nothing
could take place that could
ke^p you from hearing the gov
ernor of South Carolina.” The crowd
* heered lustily. ”1 come here alone,'
h<* continued, “not bringing any troops,
only two newspaper men came with me,
and they, as well as I, are South Car-
"llnans, just as you are, with like feel

HEARTY RECEPTION
GIVEN JUDGE RUSSELL
Special to The Georgian.
Athens, Ga., Aug. 17.—Judge.Russell
was given a hearty reception here last
night. His address was somewhat dif
ferent from the one he delivered here
some time ago, as he did not go Into
the details of his platform as In his
former address. .
He said there has been an effort on
the part of the opposition to have the
voters of this section believes he and
James Smith have a friendly under
standing as to their candidacies in this
section. In reply to this Judge Russell
refuted the charge In strong but par
liamentary language.
He said he was present to resent
such a charge from any man. He said
James Smith had devoted most of his
campaign In his (Judge Russell’s) Ju
dicial circuit.
Young R. B. Russell, Jr., was on the
stage and Judge Russell made refer
ence to his boy’s interest In hla ettn-
palgn.

RESOLUTION CENSURING
CONFEDERATE DAUGHTERS
TURNED DOWN BY G. A. R.
By Prlynte Leased Wire.
• Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 17.—The
committee on resolutions of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has decided to
make report on the resolutions which
have been the cause of so much com
ment during the G. A. R. week.
A resolution censuring the Daughters
of the Confederacy for proposing to
build a monument to Henry Wirs, Com
mandant of Andersonvllle prison, was
turned ddwn by a practically unan
imous vote. But one member voted for
It.
The report, which will be presented
by Chairman A. G. Weisert, of the
committee, will be silent on the Wlrz
resolution and the canteen resolution.
It Is probable that* an objection will
be made to the committee report when
it is presented and an effort made to
amend it so that it will recommend
one or both of the resolutions for pass
age.
In case this fails, the Wlrz resolu
tion is likely to be presented again In
the encampment and In that case seri
ous trouble Is expected.
Robert B. Brown, of Zanesville, Q.,
was yesterday elected eommander-ln-
chief of the Orand Army of the Re
public.
Following are the other officers elect
ed:
Senior Vice Commander—William H.
Armstrong, Indianapolis.

On the charge of being noisy, dis
orderly and cruel. It belng^ald that on
one occasion the father of the family
angrily tossed the year-nnd-a-half-old
babe on the floor, causing his doc
tors, surgeons and dentists to be called,
M. Killen and his wife, two Russian
Jews, were arraigned In police court
Friday morning. At witnesses In the
case appeared some half dozen neigh
bors, among them Pntrolman Green.
The couple reside at 34 Bell street
and, according to the testimony of
those In court, there is a continual row
going on in their house, keeping their
neighbors from resting. It was said
thnt Mrs. Killen is very high-tempered
and also very profane. Her profanity
was eald to pour forth In the Russian
language and, although Americans may
listen to It without so much os a blush,
those of their nationality In the vicinity
ate forced to take refuge under a pll
low.
During the trial some mention was
made of making the couple and their
three children move from the place,
but Mrs. Killen rushed up to the acting
recorder and with a voice choked and
eyes ready for an overflow, she said:
“If you make us move I will die.”
Then she broke down and was e
corted from the court room weeping
bitterly. Owing to their poverty the
recorder imposed 11.75 flne.
They deny that they disturb their
neighbors.
LITTLE CHILDREN
MADE TO PRAY

bread and that the Pure Milk and
Food Company supplied from 6 to 10
gallons of milk dally.
“Wearenot dependent on the street
•meeting,” said Mr. Harwell. ”We only
do It to save souls, not for the money
that Is In It. We nev«/r allow the
children to beg or pass around the hat.
Everything that Is given is given free.”
8lx of the children are from Griffin,
three from Gainesville, two from Ce-
dartown and the rest from Atlanta.
Warning to the Mayor.
When Mrs. Harwell was seen she first
declared her Intention of carrying on
the street meetings.
"We will see whether the Lord or
the devil Is stronger,” “be eald, “but If
t In the*wish of the Lord that these
meetings he stopped, I would say
'amen.* •
'In this talk about our home pub
lished In the papers you can see clearly
the devil’s cloven foot. The mayor
better be careful. There was a mayor
t a certain city In the West, I forgot
the name now, that did Just what he Is
doing. He tried to stop good work like
ours and the Lord struck him dead. I
have no malice ugalnst the mayor and
I have Instructed the children and we
are all praying for him, so that his sin
will be, if it Is the Lord's wish, visited
back upon him."
The situation Is full of pathos. Per
haps the most pathetic feature Is the
boast of Mr. and Mrs. Harwell that
the little children under their care are
filled with religion. The children testi
fy on the streets and tell the lookers-
on to follow their example. The chil
dren’s ages vary from 3 to 12 years.
This feature of the situation Is dear
ly brought out In tho report of Proba
tlon Officer Oloer, who investigated the
home for Mayor Woodward some time' could do with them as they pleased;
after It had been visited by Mr. Evans
and Logan.
Officer Gloer’s Report.,
Officer Gloer's report follows:
ATLANTA, GA., August 14, 1906.
Hon. James G. Woodward, Mayor:
Dear Sir:—Dr. Henry G. Carnes and
myself made some Investigations of the
Memorial Orphans’ Home, No. 52 Mc
Daniel street, on yesterday.
We And they have 25 children In
this home from 3 1-2 years to 14 years
old. Seven or eight of these children
are motherless and fatherless. Three
men have their children In this home.
The other children have only mothers
who cannot support themselves and
children too.
These children are taught In litera
ture and in the Bible, and to sing, etc.,
are also taught to work, laundry work.
Everything in and around the building
seems perfectly clean and nice.
The home Is run by Mr. and Mrs.
Harwell, who say Ood has called them
to run such an institution. And that
they expect to continue same as long
as they live.
Bay furthermore that they do not
carry the children on the streets to
get money, but to save souls.
They claim that these little children
have religion, and that they testify on
the streets and beg people to be saved.
They further say they do not und can
not teach the children to testify; that
they do this as the Lord directs. Bay
the children are taught the Bible every
day, but are not taught to testify; that
they get that part from the Lord.
When told of the various complaints
made of the children on the streets at
night, they said they had been expect
ing for some time that the devil would
jump on them for this work. That the
people who were making these com
plaints were only angels of the devil.
