WILD RUMOR

Small Trouble at Tifton
Exaggerated to Story
of Lynching.
There «>■ a street corner rutaof
In Thomaavllle ysaterdsy to -the ef
fect that a rape followed by a lynch-

excitement, but a special despatch
to the Times-Enterpria* by, telephone
last night from Tifton exploded tbese
reports. The Incident affords , a
striking Illustration of how rumor
exaggerates.
The true story Is as foltows: A
white familp named Drawder had fp-
cently mored Into a house neat Tit-
ton, formerly occupied hr negroes.
Just at dush yesterday, evenlpg p ns-,
gro named,Earn Mitchell, who had
known the former occupants of the
house was passing by on his way to
town. Supposing that the bouse
was still occupied by negroes he
stopped at the gate, and balled Mrs.
Drawder, who was sitting, on the
porch, addressing her as he would a
member ot his own race. When she
answered he found out his mistake
and moved on without saying any
thing more.
Mrs. Drawder began to think over
the Incident and remembering the
numerous assaults near Atlanta be
came frightened. She called her
husband, who became very much ex
cited, and telephoned for the sheriff.
He responded Immediately. In the
meantime Drawder got his gun and
went <ta the trail. A number of the
young men of the town, hearing sen.
satlonal reports, formed a posse, and
.started after the negro with track
dogs.
He learned of the pursuit, and also
remembering Atlanta, made off at
his best speed. He was captured
within an hour, but told such a
straight story, borne out so well by
facts, that he was released.
Before turning him loose the
young men gave him a few lashes to
make him more careful In speaking
to white women In future.

AN AWFUL COUGH CURED.
Two years ago our little girl had
a touch of pneumonia, which left her
with an awful cough. She had spells
of coughing, just like one with the
whooping cough and some thought
she would not get well at all. We
got a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, which acted like a charm.
She stopped coughing and got stout

Brubaker, 111. This remedy Is for
