NEGRO WAS
PROTECTED
By Alabama Officers, Who Shot at
the Mob-
ONE KILLED OTHERS WOUNDED
jirn Brown Sentenced to Death for
a Heinous Crime at Asheville—
Taken to Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala , Aug. 22.
A special to the Age-Herald f.om
Asheville, Ala., says:
One man was killed and another
probably fatally wounded in a bat
tle here today to save the negro
Jim Brown from the vengeance of
a mob after he had been tried and
sentenced to be hanged on Sept.
20 for the most heinous crime
known in the criminal law of any
state. The killed:
Walter Blankenship was shot
through the head, the ball pene
trating the skull above the right
ear.
Wounded: Arthur Blankenship,
f. breast and abdomen penetrated by
birdshot— eye put out.
A small boy, the son of James
Hanley, slightly wounded about
the face by birdshot.
The Blankenships were brothers,
and, it is said, have been in town
since Monday trying to stir up the
trouble. Walter died within two
hours after being shot, and Ar
thur is in a precarious condition.
The attempt of the mob to gain
possession of the negro followed
one of the swiftest and fairest
trials ever held. It was a battle
of witnesses with the judge and
court officials on the defensive to
* suppress the fast rising anger of
ti e crowd as detail afte detail of
the fiend’s work was Fold by the
witnesses for the state. There was
no evidence for the defense'. As
the brute said afterwards in his
confession, there was nothing the
witnesses he had summoned could
say in his behalf.
The clash came in half an hour
after Judge Pelham had pronoun
ced the sentence. By a ruse the
courtroom was cleared of half of
its angry occupants. The remain-"
; ing half was surly and seemed bent
on mischief. At the request of
Judge Pelham, J. 1,. Garrett,father
of the girl outraged by' Brown,
mounted a table and spoke, coun
seling peace. He hardly began to
address the assembly as his friends
and neighbors before he broke
down in tears. In concluding his
appeal, he said:
“If you have any respect for my
feelings, if I can have any weight
in your hearts, let me urge you as
, good citizens to go home and obey
the law and I will never cease to
thank you from the bottom of my
heart from this day to the day of
my death.”
After some difficulty the court
room was cleared. Sheriff North
thought it unwise to attempt to
take Brown to the jail,a few blocks
away, for the
CROWD WAS RAPIDLY INCREASING
around the front doors of the court
house Twenty-eight deputies,
armed with pistols and shotguns,
were stationed in the front hall and
at the windows of the courtroom.
The first sign of an outbreak came
when one man from the outside,
'with a pistol in his hand, started to
mount the stairway. He was fol
lowed by two or three others. Sev
eral shots were exchanged and the
mob leaders on the outside began
firing into the windows. Arthur
Blankenship was hit first and his
brother was shot while emptying
his revolver in the direction of the
windows above.
Aha and rain began falling. The
bodies of the w r ounded were re
moved and the crowd scattered
about in front of the stores across
the street. The officers took ad
vantage of this lull and spirited
Jhe negro away in charge of two
special deputies. He was gotten

Birmingham.
The crime for which Brown will
hang was committed on May 7th,
near Springville, within a quarter
of a mile from the home of the
Garretts. He was working in a
field near where Miss Garrett, who
is a school teacher, had to pass in
returning home late in the after
noon. He followed her for some
distance and finally assaulted her
near a creek. After accomplish
ing his purpose he dragged the
girl into the water, threatening to
drown her. Abandoning this last
thought of ending his heinous
crime by murder, lie pulled off Ms
clothes and put on another suit in
the presence of the young woman,
throwing his shoes into the water.
He was with her for three quar
ters of an hour. Miss Garrett re
mained unconscious for some time
and then made her way to the
house and gave the alarm.
Brown left the vicinity at once,
first going to Birmingham, then to
Anniston, Atlanta and finally to
Charleston, S. C., where he was
captured. In the meantime an
other negro had been shot to death
because lie was mistaken for Brown.
The real Brown attempted suicide
by cutting his throat with a piece
of glass shortly after his capture.
On the way to Birmingham this
afternoon Brown made his first
confession. He ccmtessed every
point brought out in the evidence
and his only excuse that he must
have been crazy when he did it.
He is now in Birmingham jail and
will remain there till the day of his
execution.
GEN. GREENE’S COFFIN PLATE
It Has Been Returned to the Geor
gia Historical Society,
The silver plate found upon the
coffin of the late General Nathaniel
Greene in the vault in the old Col
onial cemetery, this city, says the
Savannah, Ga., News, and which
was taken north hv Colonel Asa
Bird Gardiner for the purpose of
cleaning for further identification,
has been returned by the secretary
of the Rhode Island society of the
Cincinnati to the custody of the
Historical Society. The announce
ment previously made that chem
ical treatment of the plate had
shown, as was believed to be the
case, that the plate Was from the
coffin of Geneial Greene, is fully
borne out by the plate, now fully
restored though badly worn. The
inscription now stands out very
clearly, and reads as follows: ‘‘Na
thaniel Gieene, Gbit June 19, 1786.
AE 44 years.”
This completely establishes the
claim to the discoyery of General
Greene’s remains. It is proposed
to inclose the plate, which is quite
small, in a glass case, for the pur
pose of exhibiting at the rooms of
the Historical Society. The ques
tion of the further disposition of
General Greene’s remains was in
cidentally referred to, but was not
discussed. It has been thought
likely that the Rhode Island so
cieties might make a demand for
the removal of the remains to that
state, with a view to the erection
of a monument there, but there
has been no notice of anything of
this kind as yet. At present Gen
eral Greene’s remains rest in the
vault of the Southern Bank.
Increased Tax Returns-
Atlanta, Ga., Aug 21. —The re
ceipt of the tax returns of Rock
dale county by the comptroller
general completes the list of 137
counties of the state.
Rockdale showed an increase of
$42,159. The pulished report that
Fulton has gained a million and
three-quarters was an error. The
actual increase was only $910,843.
Only fifteen counties show de
creases, which aggregate $1,108,-
083. The remaining 122 counties
show an increase of $17,802,616.
This leaves a net increase for
the entire state of $16,694,533.
This, of course, is exclusive of rail
road, telegraph, express and street
railway properties, which are re
turned direct to the comptroller
general.
The comptroller estimates the
increase in this latter class of prop
erty at $4,000,000. This will %un
the total increase in taxable prop
erty in the state to over $20,000,-
000 for the year 1901 over 1900.
21,000 Wilfbe Idle.
Lexington, Kv., Aug. 20. —Dr.
J. T. Slade, of this city, who was
chairman of the recent convention
of United Mine Operators of Ken
tucy and Tennessee, and who is
president of the Consolidated Coal
Compaay, of Tennessee, predicts
that because of differences be
tween the miners and operators,
which seem impossible of settle
ment, no new contracts will be
signed, and that 21,000 miners
will become idle for an indefinite
period. The miners have con
tended for a shorter work-day and
other improvements.
S4OOO A YEAR ON HIS FARM.
A Dodge County Farmer Cultivates
Over 400 Aores of Land.
Waycross, Aug. 21 —D. B. Sweat
writes to the Journal from East
man. For the first time in years
myself and little family are enjoy
ing a brief rest. We are being
royally entertained at the elegant
country home of Mr. Will H. Cot
ter, one of the prosperous planters
in Dodge county.
His place is just a mile and a
half from the town of Eastman, aud
certainly no one could desire a
more delightful place for recreation
and rest.
Mr. Cotter is one of the largest
planters in Dodge county. * He has
in cultivation about 400 acres of
land, 250 of which are in cotton,
the balance in corn, potatoes, sugar
c ne, etc. He runs nine or ten
plows, and works a large number
of hands.
It is a sight worth seeing to drive
through the large fields of ootton
now whi'ening to the harvest, and
the b< a'd acres of corn almost
read 3' for tl e reapi r. One of his
fields contains over 100 acres, and
not a stump in it. It is one of the
prettiest fields I ever saw.
Early this morning Mr. Cotter
started his cotton pickers, about
fifty or sixty in number, and all day
their merry shouts and happy
songs have been rending the air.
The most contented character on
earth, is a a negro in a white cot
ton patch, so it has appeared to me
as I have watched the crowds to
day vicing with each other as to
who should p’ck the most of the
fleecy staple.
Mr. Cotter will gather 125 or 130
bales of cotton this year. This is
twenty-five bales short of his ex
pectationc, the crop being cut short
by the excessive rains early in the
season and the dry weather later
on.
Mr. Cotter and others of the
planters in this section are r.ot
only making a good living on their
farms, but are making money. Mr.
Cotter cleared last year over $4,000
from his farm.
In addition to his large yield of
cotton, he raises all the corn and
other grain crops for which there
is a demand on his plantation, and
enough meat to run hisfamil}', aud
almost enough for his farm hands
from year to 3’ear.
Eastman is quite a cotton mar
ket, last year and the year before
nearly 9,000 bales were shipped
each year from this point, This
year it is thought it will reach 10-,
000 bales.
The enterprising citizens of the
town have just organized a stock
company and built a SIOO,OOO cot
ton mill. They are putting in
5.000 spindles, and leaving a ca
pacity for as many more, if it is
desired to double the capacity
later on.
Eastman is a lively town, and
business men claim that more bus
iness is done than at any other
town between Macon and Bruns
wick.
OF THE LONG AGO- .
When Henry Clay, in Fine Coach
Swept Into Columbus in Style-
Mr. William Osborne, writing in
the Atlanta News of Henry Clay’s
famous tour through the south,
says:
“Excuse this diversion, I re
member well when Mr. Clay re
turned from New Orleans to Wash
ington in March 1844, staging in
a private coach drawn by four
beautiful horses from Montgom
ery to Columbus, Georgia. I knew
he would pass my house, Waverly
Hall, but my father, who was an
ardent Clay whig, and I, thought
we would like to see him in the
great crowd, so we met him at
Columbus. I went to the bridge
through which he was to enter the
city. As soon as the coach le t
the abutment of the bridge, the
crowd fell in behind. There was
an old cotton buyer—Hey wood, I
think was his name, who caught
hold of the strap attached to the
rear boot and held on until they
arrived at the Oglethorpe hotel. I
saw one enthusiast take a good hat
from his head and place it before
the front wheel cf the coach to
have it hallowed by the crushing
force of the wheel. I remember
that Gus Clayton was one of the
escorts from Columbus that had
gone to meet him. That afternoon
Mr. Clay addressed the crowd from
the hotel balcony. Great enthu
siasm prevailed. The next day,
drawn by four clay-bank horses,
he passed mv home and was dined
at W. B. Marshall’s, where there
was quite an assembly from Tal
botton and vicinity to meet him."

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end
leas variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are alf due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance la the price
of 0 beautiful oomploxlon
when such remedies are relied on.
Mr. H. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis.
Mo , says : “Mv daughter was afflicted for years
with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which
resisted all treatment. She was taken to two
celebrated health springs, but received no bene
fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with
out result, until we decided to try S. S S., and by
the time the first bottle wss finished the eruption
began to disappear. A doten bottles cured her
completely and left her skin perfectly smooth.
She 1* now seventeen years old, and not a sign of
the embarrassing disease has ever returned.”
S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure foi
the worst forms of skin troubles. It is
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the
only one guaranteed purely vegetable.
