OF GOVERNOR
Heyward Pleaded
Earnestly With
Mob for Order.
Kpi-cl.l to The Georslan.
Greenville, S. C, Aug. 17.—In the
presence of the governor of the elate,
who had pleaded earnestly for law and
order, und within the shadow of the
home of 111. victim, who U 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 14-year-old. negro
gtrl..'w»*--lyiu:hedut 7:30 o’clock yes
terday evening.
About 800 citizens composed the mob
and thore was no riotous outUUrsts, but
the men listened quietly to the speech
of 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 the scene
shortly after the negro had been cap
tured. A platform was erected In
fence corner on the premises of the
victim's father from which Governor
lleyward addressed the mob In an et
fort to prevent the lynching.
The mob then removed the prisoner
to a plnce within a short distance of
tho 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 troop* to
bo called upon. The governor’s guards
ami tho 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
home of his victim for Identification.
A great crowd 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
men 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 os he
stood there between his captors.
"That's the scoundrel," she said. "I
know him by his eyes.”
Ths Governyr Speaks.
"Hear the governor," said some one,
and 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. “I come here alone,"
he continued, "not bringing nny troops,
only two newspaper men came with me.
and they, as well as I, are South Car-
Oilcans. Just as you are, with like feel-
lass. You are my friends. Here I am
not alone as your governor, but as yout
friend.
"But It Is my duty to enforce the
laws of South Carolina. Don’t cheer
ni". men, thfs is a solemn occasion, and
1 ton very much In earnest, and, % be
sides, I understand It excites the Indies,
and this Is a consideration that ap
peals to all South Carolinians. (The
residence was only 40 feet away). I
ome to appeal to your manhood. The
question Is, Shall the people he nl-
1 m . ,i t,> |>e ruled by their passions and
prejudices or shall the supremacy und
•he majesty of the law be upheld?
I 1 remise you on my honor that as
speedy a trial as the law allows shall
be held. I would not object to cutting
the rope to hang that scoundrel, pro-
tlqed the law says so.
Let ths Law Prevail.

majesty of the Tacv. I represent the

FORMER VICEROY OF INDIA
TO VISIT UNITED STATES
Bjr Private Leased Wire.
New York, August 17.—Lord Curzon
Is coming to America, his visit being
rendered necessary by questions which
hsve arisen In connection with the dis
position of tho property of tho Lady
I'urzon in this country. During his ab
sence his little girls will stay with
their aunt, I^ady Suffolk, formerly Miss
Daisy Lelter, at the plnce which their
grandmother, Mrs. Lelter, has rented
for the autumn in Scotland.
Lord Curzon’a relatives are exceeds
ingly anxious that he should travel In
order to obtain a change of scene, as
his health, nt no time strong, and Im
paired by his long residence and ardu
ous labors In India, has, of course,
been still further weakened by the
shock sustained through the death of
his wife.
It Is understood that after complet
ing the business which brings him to
America, und visiting Washington and
Chicago, he will make a long stay In
Canada, where he desires to become
better acquainted.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 17.—The
committee on resolutions of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has decided to
make report on the resolutions which
have been the cause of so much com
ment during the G. A. R. week.
A resolution censuring the Daughters
of the Confederacy for proposing to
build n monument to Henry Wlrz, com
mandant of Andorsonvllle prison, was
turned down by a practically unan
imous vote. But one member voted for
It.
The report, which will be presented
by (’halrman A. G. Welsert, of the
committee, will be silent on the Wlrz
resolution nnd the canteen resolution.
It Is probable that an objection will
be made to the committee report when
It Is presented and nn effort made to
amend it so that It will recommend
one or both of the resolutions for pass
age.
In case this falls, the Wlrz resolu
tion Is likely to be presented again In
the encampment and In that case seri

CHARGED AGAINST
CHIEF HOTEL CLERK
Young Man Arrested and
Lodged in Jail to Await
Trial. •
M|x*rlal to The Georgian.
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 17.—Eu
gene Jordan, chief clerk at Lookout
Inn, formerly of Memphis, and brother
of manager of the Houck Music Com
pany, this city, has been arrested on
a charge of being connected with the
big Jewelry and money steals from
guests of the hotel. Jordan Is now In
Jail, but refuses to talk.
It Is charged that he la connected
with the theft of several thousand dol
lars In Jewelry and money from Mrs.
Hlmmons, of California; Mrs. Carml- •
chael, of Florida, and from the safe of
the Inn. Ho says his brother loaned
him $500, but this woe dented by the
brother.
It Doesn’t Make Americans Blush, But Those
That Comprehendovitch Hide Their
Heads Under Pillowskis.
On the charge of being noisy, dis
orderly and cruel, it being said that on
one occasion the father of the family
angrily tossed the year-and-a-half-old
babe on the floor, causing his doc
tors, surgeons and dentists to be called,
M. Klllen and his wife, two Russian
Jews, were arraigned In police court
Friday morning. At witnesses In the
case appeared some half dosen neigh
bors, among them Patrolman Green.
The couple reside at 34 Hell street
nnd, according to the testimony of
those In court, there Is a continual row
going on. In their house, keeping their
neighbors from resting. It wns 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 an much aa a blush,
those of their nationality In the vlrlnlty
ere forced to, take refuge under a pil
low.
During the trial some mention was
made of making the couple and their
three children move from the place,
but Mrs. Klllen rushed up to ths 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 $1.75 fine.
They deny that they disturb their
neighbors.

Six of the children are from Griffin,

Warning to tho Mayor.
When Mrs. Harwell wan seen she first
declared her Intention of carrying on
the ntreet meetings.
"We will nee whether the Lord or
the devil Is stronger,” she said, "but If
It Is the*wish of the Lord that these
meetings be stopped, I would say

better be careful. There was a mayor

ours and the Lord struck him dead. I
have no malice against the mayor and
I have Instructed the children and we
are all praying for him, so that his sin
will be, if it is the lord's wish, visited
back upon him.”
The situation Is full of pathos. Per
haps the most pathetic feature Is the
b4»ast of Mr. and Mrs. Harwell that
the little children under their care are
tilled with religion. The children testi
fy on the streets and tell the lookers-
%>n to follow their example. The chil
dren’s ages vary from 3 to 12 years.
This feature of the situation Is clear

ture and In the Bible, and to sing, etc.,
are also taught to work, laumlry work.
Everything in and around 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
os they live.
Say furthermore that they do not
carry the children on the streets to
get money, but to save souls.
They claim that these lltfle children
have religion, and that they testify on
the streets and beg people to be saved.
They further say they do not and can
not teach the children to testify; that
they do this as the Lord directs. Say
the chlldreh are taught the Bible every
day, but are not taught to testify; that
they get that part from the Ix>rd. .
When told of the various complaints
made of the children on the streets at
night, they said they had 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 asked If they had to go on
the streets to get money to run the In
stitution, they said no. Bald 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.
Raid further that the authorities
home for Mayor Woodward sums time could do with them as they pleased;
