I PRESENCE
OF GOVERNOR
Heyward Pleaded
Earnestly With
Mob for Order.
Special to The Georgian.
Greenville. 8. C., Aug. 17.—In the
presence of the governor of the state,
who had pleaded earnestly for law and
order, and within the shadow' of the
home of his victim, who Is in a pitiable
condition from the brutal assault made
upon her, Bob Davis, the negro who
murderously attacked Miss Jennie
Brooks, daughter of a merchant at
Greenwood, Monday, • and who after
wards assaulted a 44-year-,old negro
girl, \Vas lyhched at 7:30 o’clock yes
terday evening.
About 300 citizens composed the mob
and there was no riotous outbursts, but
the men listened quietly to the speech
• if Governor Heyward, who had hasten
ed to the scene of trouble from Colum
bia, and then proceeded to carry out
their purpose.
Platform Erected.
Governor Heyward reached Ahe scene
shortly after the negro had been cap
tured. A platform was erected In a
fence corner on the premises of the
victim’s father from which Governor
Heyward addressed the mob In an ef
fort to prevent the lynching.
The mob then removed the prisoner
to a place within a short distance of
the home of the victim, where the ne
gro was riddled with bullets. It is Im
possible to estimate the crowd, as citi
zens from several counties had gath
ered at the scene and for two days had
been In pursuit of the fiend, but It is
certain that hundreds of bullets were
sent through his body.
Militia Away.
The militia in that section of the
state Is now encamped at Chlckamau
ga and there were no nearby troops to
be called upon. The governor’s guards
and the Richland Volunteers of this
city had been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness In the event that
their services were needed, but the mob
was determined and It Is doubtful If
the presence of soldiers could have pre
vented the lynching.
Girl Identifies Assailant.
The negro was captured In a creek,
tied hand and foot, and brought to the
hmne of his victim for Identification.
A great crow’d had gathered at the
Brooks home.
“Let’s wash his face, boys, before we
take him to the house,’’ said some one,
but the crowd was too impatient. Four
m**n were delegated to escort him to
the house. The young lady, lying on
her bed, with a deep gash in her throat,
turned her eyes toward the negro as he
stood there between hls captors.
"That’s the scoundrel,” she said. 'I
know him by hU| eyes."
The Governor 8peaks.
"Hear the governor,” said some one,
an-1 he began:
"I know,” he said, "that nothing
could take place that could
keep you from hearing the gov
ernor of South Carolina.” The crowd
cheered lustily. *T come here alone,

and they, as well as I, are South Car

HEARTY RECEPTION
GIVEN JUDGE RUSSELL
Special to The Georgiau.
Athens, Ga., Aug. 17.—Judge Russell
was given a hearty reception here last
night. His address was somewhat dif
ferent from the one he delivered here
some time ago, as he did not go Into
the details of hls platform as-In hls
former address.
He said there has been an efffcrt on
the part of the opposition to have the
voters of this section beltevo he and
James Smith have a friendly under
standing as to their candidacies tn this
section. In reply to this Judge Russell
refuted the charge In strong but par
liamentary language.
He said he was present to resent
such a charge from any man. He said
James Smith had devoted most of hls
campaign in hls (Judge Russell’s) Ju
dicial circuit.
Young R. B. Russell, Jr., was on the
stage and Judge Russell made refer
ence to hls boy’s Interest in hls cam
paign.

GRANTED BY 8PEAKER.
Special to The Georgian.
Balnbridge, Ga., Aug. 17.—The barbe
cue given by the Decatur County Hoke
Smith Club at Fort Hughes was well
attended by the people from the sur
rounding county, who came to hear
Hon. Thomas H. Hardwick’s address.
The meeting closed with a Joint de
bate late Thursday afternoon, the Eh-
till Club having asked for a division of
time. Hon. J. H. Morgan, of Savan
nah, was the speaker selected by the
Estill Club to take care of Colonel Es-
till’s interest. The. debate was held
In the court house Instead of at -Fort
Hughes, the change ht program being
made on account of the rain that be
gan falling about the hour of the
speaking. The crowd was estimated all
the way frdm l,t)00 to 2,600. The at
tendance was smaller than expected on
account of the rain.

hls carrying the county. For the un-
explred term In congress Overstreet
will probably win.

Mrs. A. E. Smith, of 511 Woodward
avenue, and Mrs. R. C. O'Neil, her sis-
_cr, of Tenllle, Ga., held Hattie Lewis,
a 17-year-old negress, at bay In the
room. Call Officers Cooper and Hood
were called to 511 Woodward avenue
and there they found the negro girl
penned up In the parlor, Mrs. Smith
blocking one exit with a gun* In. her
hand and Mrs. O’Nell standing guard
at the other door. The officers state
that the two women never lost their
coolness for a moment. *
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Smith went
across the street to visit a neighbor
leaving her sister home sleeping. Mrs.
Smith and the neighbor were talking on
the latter’s front veranda when Hattie
Lewis came up and asked If they

two women replied in the negative.

On the charge of being noisy, dis
orderly and cruel. It being x mt!u that on
one occasion the father of the family
angrily tossed the year-and-a-half-old
babe on the Hour, causing hls doc
tors, surgeons and dentists to be called,
M. Klllen and hls wife, two Russian
Jew's, were arraigned In police court
Friday morning. At witnesses In the
case appeared some hnlf dozen neigh
bors. among them Patrolman Green.
The couple reside at 34 Bell street
and, according to the testimony of
those In court, there is a continual row
going on In their house, keeping their
neighbors from resting. It was said
that Mrs. Klllen Is very high-tempered
and also very profane. Her profanity
was said to pour forth In the Russian
language and, although Americans may
listen to It without so much as a blush,
those of their nationality in the vicinity
are forced to take refuge under a pil
low.
During the trial some mention was
tnade of making the couple and their
three children move from the place,
but Mrs. Klllen rushed up tn the acting
recorder and with a voice choked and
eyes ready for an overflow, she said:
"If you make us move I will die.”
Then she broke down and was es
corted from the court room weeping
bitterly. Owing to their poverty the
recorder Imposed $1.76 fine.
They deny that they disturb their
neighbors.
bread and that the Pure Milk and
Food Company supplied from 5 to 10
gallons of milk dally.
"We are not dependent on the street
meeting," said Mr. Harwell. "We only
do It to save aouls, not for the money
that Is In It. * We nev/r allpw the
children to beg or pass around the hat.
Everything that is given la given free.”
Six of the children are from Griffin,
three from Gainesville, two from Ce-
dartown and the rest from Atlanta.
Warning to tha Mayor.
When Mrs. Harwell wus seen she first
declared her Intention of carrying on
the street meetings.
We will see whether the Lord or
the devil is stronger," she said, “but if
ft is the* wish of the Lord that these
meetings be stopped, I would say
’amen/
In this talk about our home pub
lished In the .papers you can see clearly
the devil’s cloven foot. The mayor
better be careful. There was a mayor
of a certain city In the West, I forgot
the name now', that did Just what he Is
doing. He tried t*> stop good work like
ours and the Lord struck him dead. I
have no malice against the mayt>r and
I have Instructed the children and we
are all praying for him, so' that hls sin
will be, If It Is the Lord's wish, visited
back upon him."
The situation Is full of pathos. Per
haps the most phthetlc feature Is the
boast of Mr. and Mrs. 1 Harwell that
the little children under their care are
filled with religion. The children testi
fy on the streets and tell the lookers-
on to follow' their example. The chil
dren’s ages vary from 3 to 12 years.
This feature of the situation Is clear
ly brought out In the report of Proba
tion Officer Oloer, who Investigated the
home for Mayor Woodward aome time
Officer Gloer’s Report.
Officer Gloor’s report follows:
ATLANTA, OA., August 14, 1906.
lion. James G. Woodward, Mayor:.
Dear Sir:—Dr. Henry G. Carnes and
myself made some Investigations of the
Memorial Orphans’ Home, No. 52 Me
Daniel street, on yesterday.
Wo find they have 26 children In
this home from 3 1-2 years to 14 years
old. Seven or eight of these children
are motherless and fatherless. Three
men have their children in this home.
The other children have only mothers
who cannot support themselves and
children too.
These children are taught In Iltera-
ture.and In the Bible, and to sing, etc.,
are also taught to work, laundry work.
Everything In and uround the building
seems perfectly clean and nice.
The home Is run by Mr. and Mrs.
Harwell, who say God has called them
to run such an institution. And that
they expect to continue same as long
as they Jive.
Say furthermore that they do not
carry the children on the streets to
get money, but to save souls.
They claim that these little children
have religion, and that they testify on
the streets and beg people to be saved.
They further say they do not and can-
n4»t teach the children to testify; that
they do this as the Ix>rd directs. Say
the children are tuught the Bible every
day, but are not taught to testify; that
they get that part from the I*ord.
When told of the various complaints
made of the children on the streets at
night, they said they hud been expect
ing for some time that the devil would
Jump on them for this work. That the
people who were making these com
plaints were only angels of the devil.
And that they will continue to carry
them on the streets, though they get
locked up and put In Jail; that they will
continue to hold these meetings.
When ask^d if they had to go on
the streets to get money to run the In
stitution, they said no. Said they
found enough money to run the home
without this; but if the people wanted
to give them money on the streets that
they would accept It and thank them,
too.
Said further that the authorities
could do with them as they pleased;
