WANTED TO
LYNCH NEGRO
500
Jail and
Way cross, Ga., Oct. 8—A determ
ined effort was made by a.crowd of
men and boy. here last night to
lynch Doll Jones, a 12-year-old
negro boy, who It was charged had
attempted to assault a young white
girl here on Wednesday night. The
hoy was captured some time after
the attempted assault, and owing to
rumors that summary vengeance
would be meted out to him, he was
spirited away to the Chatham
county Jail, at Savannah.
The crowd which made the at
tempt on the Jail did not know that
the boy had been carried to Savan
nah, and when the signs of trouble
became so threatening the Waycross
Guards were called ont at the re
quest of the Sheriff and at the order
of Gov. Brown and the thirty-live
men who answered the call to arms
marched to the Jail, succeeding In
averting a successful attack which
ft seemed would be made momen
tarily.
Until long after midnight the
argtngs of the excited men that the
negro be given Into their hands for
summary vengeance were continu
ed; being kept op until a committee
from their number was permitted
to pass the guarding soldiers and
go through the Jail, satisfying
themselves that the prisoner was
not hidden there.
When this was made sure the
crowd began drifting towards the
court house, some of the men sug
gesting that the negro might have
ham taken secretly from the Jail fn
anticipation of an attack and that
i might be concealed la the court
. house. There, too, the searchers
,'were disappointed.
| The crowd began forming at 9
| o'clock. It became apparent at
! once to the officers that the trouble
, they had anticipated waa to occur.
The Jell was made secure and the
efforts of the crowd to break In
proved abortive until the arrival of
the soldiers put an end to the hope
of forcing an entrance to the cells.
After the visit to the court house
It becameerldent to the soekers
that the negro was In a safe place
and the statement, often repeated,
that he had been taken to Savan
nah, came to be generally believed.
Dell Jones, the young prisoner, It
Is alleged wa. asked by the young
girl upon whom It Is 'alleged he
made an attempt at assault, to ao-
company her to her home at an
early hour last night from Gilchrist
Park. A. they were passing the
negro school house at Reldsvllle
rain came lip and they took refuge
In the building. There, It Is alleg
ed. fho attempted was made.
The girl's screams attracted atten
tion and the negro boy fled, to be
caught later.
Capt. Warren Lott was In charge
of the Guards. As soon a. the
search of the court house had been
made and the crowd was satisfied
that Jooea waa not in Waycrosa the
big throngs about the streets quick
ly dispersed. Soon the soldiers,
convinced that the trouble was en
ded for the night, were dismissed.
In the flrst attack on the Jail,
which the arrival of the soldiers In
terrupted, the crowd naed a batter
ing ram of wood and succeeded In
battering through the front door of
the office, formerly occupied by the
sheriff at the Jail. The door was
mashed In but the crowd did no
damage to the heavy door leading
to tho Jan proper.

MIXED-UP CASE
IN 0. S. COURT
Trial In Which P. 0, Department
Takes a Hand /
(From Friday’s Dally.)
There was a aomewhat strange
(bearing hi the United States court
room before U. S. Commissioner
Roy E. Powell yesterday, and
before It' is done with ono or more
persona may be In the tolls for
tampering with Uncle Sam's mall,
Boston postbfflco, and according to
the evidence of tho cashier of a
Boston bank, he. carried tho check
to the bank to be cashed.
The cashier not knowing the
parties and the check coming from
-such a distance asked the negro
some questions about it. The negro
told him that a man in Florida
wanted to omploy him and had
aent him the check to pay his way
down there. The cashier would not
pay It, but bad the negro to agree
for him to send the check back to
the Florida bank tor It to be cashed.
This was done and the cash was re
ceived and the negro got It.
Some time afterwards word was
received by the Boston bank of.
flclals from the Florida bank that
a mistake had been made, that the
money had been paid to the wrong
party and would have to be return
ed. This brought things to a head
Beside, the government officials 0 „ d John „ on wig , ou , ht for> H#
there were two negroes directly W-| wai found wh#ro he had ^ ^
torested in tho hearing. They are
work all the time, and when asked
both named Sam Johnson, one llv- obout !t _ lald money n| th#
lng at Quitman and the oiner a‘I other bank a( anJ h#
Boston, Ga. They are not related rPady to pay lt oyer at Ume< H<
at all and had never seen each oth
er till this trouble arose.
The Boston Sam waa brought over
by U.. 8. Deputy Marshal Sutton
and the Quitman Sam was here as
a witness.
It seem, that the Quitman Sam
had been spending the past several
winters at Miami, Fla., In the em
ployment of a Mr. Haddock and
wa a In correspondence with him os
to hts return there the coming win
ter. He had agreed to go, and
wrote Mr. Haddock to send him $25
to buy ticket! fo r hlmsslf and fam
ily.
He heard nothing from his letter
for some time, and his money did
not come. Finally he received a
letter from Mr. Haddock . asking
why he did not let him bear from
him as to when he was coming.
Sam answered that he had not re
ceived his money. Mr. Haddock
wrote him that s check had been
sent some time beforo. This start
ed an Investigation.
In tho meantime the Boston Sam
Johnson hid received a check In a
letter, delivered to him from the
accordingly wont and paid It over.
According to the evidence of his em.
[loyer, ho wont to >hts employer as
soon as he received the money end
aaked him what to do with ft, and
was told to put it fn the Hank until
be heard more from ft, wfiloh he did.
The Boston Sqpi’s evidence was
that the letter, with tbs cheek had
come to him enclosed !» another let
ter, and that the envelope containing
the cheek had been broken open...
It seems the letter had been receiv
ed at the post ofllep st Quitman and
bad gone out on a rural route to Em-
P 1 ***. *ud had been sent by some
one at Empress to the Boston Sam
Johflson.
The case Is a muchly mixed op af
fair and Comminloner Powell Want
ed to have more witnesses. Accord
ingly fa« set next Tuesday as the
date to continue the bearing and
placed the Boston Sam Johnson un
der a three hundred dollar bond,
which he mads.

COTTON MOVINtI 8LOWLY,
Pickers are Hard to Get In Some
Sections.
Sea Island cotton brought better
prices here yesterday than at aiy
time so far during the season, the
beet grades bringing 23% cents a
pound. Short cotton about held its
own, though It waa predicted by
•ome that today would show the mar
ket to be a little better for that sta
ple, owing partly to the little boost
In the Wall street market
There was nothing like a rush of
cotton on the streets, but It earns In
along through the day nntll the aver
age did very well In the matter of
receipts.
In some acotloni the short cotton
Is about all open and most of It al
ready gathered. Sea Island will prob
ably not Show up so wall on either
line, but It Is being gathered mighty
fast now, as the weather has been
Ideal for eucb work for some time.
It Is said there are • few section*
where It Is hard to get eotton pick
ers, and In those sections there are
some Helds that have not bad a boll
plokod from them. It was laid this
morning that on one farm some mites
north of the city there Is an 18-acrs
field from which there baa never
been a single pound tattered. Splend
id prices are being offered tor pickers
It Is said, bnt ft warns some leetitms
