Americus, June 21. —A mob of 500 persons attacked the county jail at 8 o’clock tonight, broke down the cell door, wherein a negro, Wil liam Redding, was confined, and dragged him through the principal streets of the city to the Buchanan corner where they lynched him. A thousand shots, it is estimated, were fired. This was the climax of the shoot ing earlier in the evening of Wil liam C. Barrow, who has been chief of iHdicc in this city for the past twenty-five years, and tin* wound ing of four negroes. The sheriff and his deputies found resistance useless. With steel crowbars and sledge hammers the angry members of the mob at tacked the steel doors wherein the negro was confined. This lock was finally ripped from its fastening and the door swung open. Then a rope was fastened about the negro’s m-ck and lie was led through tin streets to the Buchanan corner in Lamar street, near the scene of the shooting of Chief Barrow. Then lie was strung up to a cable. The body bad only been cleared from tin: ground when the rope broke, but the negro was again strung up, this time with better success. Shooting began from every direc tion and the body was riddled with bullets. Before the shooting began, Rev. Robert Bivins, pastor of the Furlow Lawn Baptist church, pleaded in vain with the leaders to spare the life of the negro. Ilis pleadings lasted during the twenty minutes required to string the body up to the cable and then the yells of the crowd and the shots from many pistols drowned his voice. The shooting continued at intervals for a half hour and the body was left to hang on the cable. The lynching was the most sick ening tragedy ever witnessed in Americus. The shooting occurred in Lamar street, where the chief of police had been called to quiet a disorderly crowd of negroes. He arrested William Redding, a negro, and started with him to the city prison, when the latter freed himself suffic iently to whip out a revolver and open fire on the chief at close range. A bullet passed entirely through the chief’s abdomen and sped oil, entering the arm of Mor ris Allen, a negro. The shooting was entirely unpro voked, it is claimed, and „resulted from the use of “blind tiger whisk ey,” Redding being partially under the inlluence of liquor when he shot the officer. Rally Proves Success Willacoochee, June 24. —The new county rally and barbecue at Willa coochee Saturday, June 21, was a perfect success in every way. The crowd was estimated at 3,000 people, most of whom were farmers from the proposed territory of At kinson. The large number of citi zens present showed that the whole people are behind the new county movement here. All agreed that the gathering was the best behaved to its size that has ever been to gether on an occasion of its kind in south Georgia. Not a single arrest was made and all conducted them selves in a manner that did lasting credit to Willacoochee and this en tire section. Able speeches were made hv Hon. J. A. Cromarty, of Hazle hurst: Hon. Jim Summerall, of Rlackshear; Judge W. C. Lank ford, of the city court of Douglas; Mr- Harris, of Crisp county, and Rev. N. H. Olmstead, of Willocoo chee. Their arguments, all of which were strongly in favor of the THE LOCH It AN JOBB A U COCHRAN, OEOBOIA. ROUTE FIVE ITEMS Walter Norric called on Miss Effig Smith Sunday.
