CASTLEBERRY. ALA., Aug. 11.—A bomb thrown into the Skinner Hard ware Company building here last night demolished that store, and fire which followed destroyed the entire block in which the Skinner store was located. The loss is $50,000, par tially covered by insurance. Early to-day the Sheriff from Greenville and a posse nof regular and j special deputies arrested a negro, (charging him with being the man i who placed the bomb in the Skinner | building. While the officers Haim <o • have strong evidence against the ; black man. they have not stated what it is. The feeling against the ac cused is running high, and it is re ported that the negro has been spir ited away by two deputies to prevent any possibility of a lynching. The buildings destroyed-are as fol lows: Skinner Hardware Company, loss $0,000. insurance $3,000; Meaeh- am K Kirkland drug store, loss $3,000, Insurance, $1,500; S. E. Berham clothing store, loss $3,500. insurance $1,000; People’s Rank, all fixtures lost, but vault and valuables saved; House & Balliard barber shop, loss about $500 Mr. Skinner owned all of the build ings destroyed. The offices of the Mayor and a number of the city offi cials were in the bank building, ^hey lost their office fixtures. Practically all of the residents were attending church when the. explosion occurred, and turned out in a body ro fi^ht the fire, their efforts confining the blaze to the one block. There is no regular fire department in the town. No reason can be assigned for the motive of the person or persons in throwing the bomb into the store, un less it was due to some grudge against some of the occupants.

Bill Turner, his father, was executed for this murder in 1911, and his brother Is now serving a life sen tence for complicity in It. the movement with their usual en ergy and enthusiasm. It is Mr. Ferguson's intention, dur ing the path-finding expedition, *o put forth every effort to interest the farmers and the citizens of the cities and towns he visits in the proposed route and in good road building all over the South. The lack of good roads is all that has prevented the Southern States from being the Mec ca of motorists the year round, and it is the purpose of the newspapers that are behind the expedition ;o make Mr. Ferguson's trip a “good | roads booster” from start to finish, so as to make the proposed Southern route a reality before the beginning of the Panama Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. It is estimated that more than 5,000 motor cars will cross the continent from the Atlantic coast during the exposition, and the manning and charting of a Southern route, with its advantages In climate and scenery will divert the greater part of the traffic from the established Northern route through Chicago and Denver.
