V cctk very near being U»e
• seune of !Uiotl) ®' lynching last Tuesday
morning, . anil but for ttfe prompt action
Of our effiutmt sIktHY lhove would, ig
all probability Imve been tlifpo lifeless
I bodies Swinging from a limb of some
I | tree near hove on Tuesday at day-light.
Since I lie killing of Mr. King, on the
Jones’ place, last Sunday night one week
I ago, there lias been the wildest feeling
j I among the people of that scetiou, and
many are anxious to get hold of the
guilty party and send him to the laud
! beyond over the Hemp rente.
Sheriff Davis is well aware of these
facts and he is on the alert to save these
prisoners from tlie clutches of an angry
mob. IIo lias been expecting an attempt
of tin-, kind ever since King was killed,
and he lias kept his eyes open to avoid
this accomplishment, upon the .part, of
the mob,-should they come.
On Monday morning he “got wind”
of a move that a mob was organizing a
few nvites from town for the purpose
of swinging up the three negroes who
are held for the assassination. Sheriff
Davis knew that an attempt would be
made Monday or Tuesday-night, and to
be iu time ho secured a conveyance and
chained the negroes together and carried
then over to Dawson for safekeeping.
Sheriff Davis was on time, however, as
the mob eatae Monday night for their
men only to find that they had left
town. After finding that their men was
not here they left, going out the western
end of town, mad and 'disappointed. It
is understood that there were between
100 and 150 men in the crowd.
Sheriff Davis saved these same men
by only a few hours when lie removed
them from Arlington here, He was
compelled to slip them out of town and
had to walk through the woods for
nearly four miles to get his prisoners
away from the angry lilob.
As the mob has failed the second time
at lynching these negroes, probably they
will give up their intentions and let the
law take its comae. One thing sure,
they will be daisies if they get ahead of
| onr sheriff. The boys say that in eases
like this lie sleeps with one eye opeu.
That King Killing.
Tho mystery of the assassination of
Mr. King about two weeks ago, partion*
lars of which the readers of the SIonxtob
are fatniliiar, remains nnsolyed, although
the officers are working hard to bring
out the true facts of tho case.
.Jack Ingram, the white man arrested
last week was released. He was only
suspected because of the empty* cartridge
in his revolver, and he proved that ho
had discharged the cartridge as he stated
at first and he was released.
General Gee Lee Fisher, a negro well
known by all tho officers of Calhoun
county,: and who is an all-round crook,
is now quartered in jail with the other
two negroes who are still held for the
same crime. Fisher seems to be at
home in the look up. This is the fourth
time within the last, twelve monihs lie
lias been one of Sheriff Davis’ boarders,

Negro Man Shot Down.
It is just as near impossible for a lot
of negroes to get together on Saturday
night and have a “supper” without hav¬
ing tlio usual fight or shooting scrape as
it is for one of the same color to resist
the temptation of passing a cane patch
on a dark night without ridding the
patch of several stalks of the delicious
plant.
Last (Saturday night at the Clement’s
place, four miles south of .Morgan, a
supper was given by the negroes and a
large crowd was present to partake in the
festivities afforded on such occasions.
As usual with these suppers some one
has to have a fight or shooting scrape of
some kind before they can break up.
Last Saturday night it was unusually late
before this part of the program came in
and It began to look to those present that
they would have to dispense with this act.
At just about 2 o’clock, Sunday morning
a pistol shot rang out upon tho still air
from a group of negroes congregated near
where the supper was hold and upon
investigation was found that Gus
Hamilton had shot Dock Hawkins through
the heart. At tho crack of tho pistol
Hawk!nd fell and never spoke a word.
Hamilton went to Me homo and retired as
if nothing had happened. He bad been
there cnly a short while, however, before
Messers, J. D. Holloway and B. VV. Goo,
came and arrested him.
No coroner's Inquest was held as there
wore several eye witnesses to the shooting
and all say that Hamilton did it, although
ho bitterly denies it.

quite a crowd of Morgan young people

understands how to entertain a crowd of
young people.
Take Warning!
The reported discovery of rich gold
in Alaska has started thousands of
Klondike people from this country to the
regions in search of this
precious metal. It is an adventure
that will make the level headed peo¬
ple hesitate for a moment on account
of its dangers from starving, freez¬
ing and other things to encounter
before reaching the gold field.
Now, we are after giving to the
people ami of this locality a little advice
save them from this dangerous
trip. There is a gold mine right
here in Morgan—at Clayton’s. He
will put into yout pocket money
already coined and stamped. He
will keep you from starving;- keep
you from freezing, and save you dol¬
lars and cents on every purchase you
make from him. He has everything
in the winter wear cheaper than you
can get them anywhere else. He
has tho prettiest and cheapest cloaks

Air. T. R. Hammond, Leary’s

Rili have something interesting to

See Clayton’s lino of jioaks. They
are beauties.
The people of Morgan had the pleas¬
ure of listening to an able sermon last
Sunday by Rev. Mr, McCulloughs, of
Leary. The day was a beautiful one,
and a large congregation turned out to
boar this good man talk.
