ALBANY, Ga., June 28.—Baker coun- i ty was the scene of a triple lynching about 2 o'clock this morning, when a mob of fifty determined men entered the town of Newton and secured pos session of Garfield McGoy, Wiley An- ette and George McKinney, Miller coun ty negroes, who had been arrested and lodged in jail for the murder, last Sat urday night, of F. & Bullard, a prom inent white farmer of the Seventh dis trict of Baker. The manner in which the prisoners was obtained Is unique and altogether without precedent. Jailer William Screws, who resides near the jail, was awakened about 12 o'clock by Bail lit It. C. Tucker, who stated that he had a prisoner to place In ths lockup. The jailer hastily don ned his clothes and proceeded to the jail. As soon aa he had unlocked the prison door he was suddenly surrounded by a swarm of men with drawn revolvers, who demanded thst he unlock the cell In which* the Miller county negroes were lodged. He did as commanded, under protest, and the three negroes were dragged from the jail. The pris oner of Tucker made his escape during the excitement Their appeals for mercy were lost on the mob, who began beating and slap ping them with knives as soon as they had left the door of the Jail. The mob lost no time In leaving New ton with the negroes, and when about HONORS PAID CHAMBERLAIN Premier Balfour Presents an Address in Casket THEY ARE IN SYMPATHY mile west of the town the three men were halted, nooses tied about their necks, and, amid the shouts of the mob, the men were strung up. The crowd fired several hundred shots Into the swaying bodies, gfter which they quietly dispersed. The crime for which the negroes were lynched occurred on the plantation of Bullard last Saturday night during the progress of a dance given by one of Bullard's tenants. Negroes from Early, Miller and De catur counties were present, and trou* ble was soon started by McKinney, An- ette and McCoy putting out the lights. Just as this juncture Bullard appeared on the scene and commanded order. His Interference was resented by the three negroes,who opened fire upon him with revolvers. Bullard fell, mortally wounded, and died Tuesday. The negroes were arrested Monday and lodged In jail at Newton. At their commitment trial It was proven that the shot that killed Bullard was fired by McKinney, and that Anette and Mc Coy also fired at him. The negroes were remanded to jail to awaltHrlal at the next session of Baker superior court, and absolutely no talk of lynch ing was Indulged In by citizens. It Is the consensus of opinion that the work of the mob was largely due to the fact that Bullard’s family is left in a bad condition, hla wife being a hope less invalid, and several small child ren are dependent. The lynching was a great surprise to the people of the county, as It wns generally believed that the law would be allowed to take Itscourse In their cases. The lynching is generally deplored.

The ques tion at issue was not new, but Mr. Chamberlain, more than any man ltv- Ing or dead, had given life to the ex pression of the idea of imperial unity. Mr. Chamberlain received a remark able ovation when he rose to reply. His boats sang "For he's a Jolly good fellow," and then cheered Mrs. Cham berlain who was among the spectator*. The colonial secretary opened his re marks with repudiating the suggestion* of personal competition between him self and Mr. Balfodr. He desired, on the eve of a great controversy, to pub licly atnte that he believed the leader ship of Mr. Balfour was essential to the success of the unionist party, th unionist alliance was dissolved, or weakened, his "home rule snake, which was only scotched and not killed/' would again come to the front. Turning to the problem occupying the centre of the political field, Mr. Chamberlain declared that the commer cial union of the colonics would be far more profitable than their poetical Ion.
