Tmn it occurred to the bloodthirsty mob, now crazed with fury, that there was also a white brute in jail, a photographer who was accused of rmmtering his wife, They went back for him. Brushing the sheriff and his aside, they battered down a cage, dragged the accused man to a telegraph -pole and hung him. Then they riddled his body with bullets, beat almost to death a man who expressed belief in the photographer's innocence, and took up the search for a second negro believed to have been implictaed in the murder of the girl. If they find him they doubtless will visit a terrible fate 'upon him, whether Ik be.

Since the legislature will probably go ahead on Is own Initiative- in the perfection of a primary plan, It would seem that it docs not make any great difference whether or not the state democratic cominitt offers suggestions.
