NEGRO TAKEN FROM
JAIL AND LYNCHED
Black Arrested For Attempted
Assault on White Woman at
DeWitt Hanged to Tree
DeWitt, Oct. 9.—A mob of
more than 300 men broke down
the doors of the DeWitt Coun
ty jail at 11 o’clock Sunday
night, and after overpowering
the jailer, from whom the jail
keys were taken, dragged
Frank Dodd, negro, into the
negro section of the town, and
hanged him to a tree. Thirty
shots were fired into his body
as it was pulled into the air.
Dodd was accused by Miss
Blanche Roach of DeWitt of
attempting to assault her Sat
urday night, while she was
driving alone east of town. She
was pursued half a mile by tin*
negro before her cries attract
ed attention of persons, who
frightened the negro.
Dodd escaped into the woods
but was arrested by Sheriff La
fargue’s deputies and spirited
away. When it appeared that
all had again become quiet he
was placed in jail. The mob
quietly separated after the
lynching.
The body was taken down
at 3 o’clock Monday morning
by city officials and turned ov
er to a local undertaker.

ABOUT YOUR
LOCAL SCHOOL
October sees the beginning
of the rural sohool term inmost
parts of the South, and it is a
season when we may well stop
and give thought to the facil
ities we are providing our
children with which they are
to equip themselves for the
serious business of life.
First of all, kind reader, are
you, personally, taking an in
terest in your school? Do you
visit it, do you know the teach
ers intimately, are you in touch
with their efforts, do you know
something of the ideals and
hopes and ambitions they are
implanting in the hearts and
minds of vour boys and girls?
Your school and its teachers
are charged with a task that
in importance overshadows all
others—that of making useful
men and women. Are you giv
ing the .job the thought that
you are giving your farm work,
or are you leaving this great
est of life’s tasks to others,
while the pigs, the cows and
the crops take all your time?
Rut this is the teacher’s job
you say? Yes, it is; but it is
also yours, and as you do n
well or poorly, so shall you
largely be judged as a man
whose living in it was a bless
ing or a hindrance to his com
munity. And in thi.s there is
work enough for all. The
school principal, if he is of the
right sort of timber, should of
course lead the educational
thought of his community; but
unless he is backed by you and
men like you, the very bestthat
he can do will not be much.
First of all, let’s make an
earnest effort to see that our
children are present on open
ELECTION PROCLAMATION
Notice is hereby given that
an election will be held on

ing clay and every day there
after. The child that misses the
first few weeks inevitably falls
behind in its class work, and,
what is more serious, it is as
surely falling behind in its pre
paration for the great work of
life. Irregular attendance, too,
is no less serious. If the crops
are not all harvested when
school opens, hire the remain
der of the work done or do it
yourself—anything to get the
children in school on time and
keep them there.
But this is not all. The father
who is satisfied with nothing
but the best for his children
will visit his school, know the
teacher, what the school is do
ing, and what are its needs
that its efficiency and effec
tiveness may be increased. He
makes the school a community
meeting-place on Friday after
noons; he takes a lively inter
est in the spelling matches, the
debating contests, and the
games; he works to make com
mencement a famous event in
which the whole neighborhood
takes part.
Take counsel with yourself,
friend, and ask yourself seri
ously if you are measuring up.
You can’t afford merely to be
lieve in education and stop at
that; you must do your level
best to see to it that your
children and your neighbor’s
children get it.“Re was a great
school man’’—what finer thing
would we, after we are gone,
have our neighbors say of us?
Such a man, perhaps to fortune
and fame unknown, opens the
door of knowledge and life to
others, and in so doing has him
self truly lived.—The Progres

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.
The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys i3
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for a sample
package of "Anuric” — the latest dis
covery of Dr. Pierce. Also send a
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, worn-out feeling, it’s
time to write Dr. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge—absolutely free. This
''Anuric” of Doctor Pierce’s is found
to be 37 times more active than lithia,
for it dissolves uric acid in the system
as hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for Dr. Pierce’s Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of "Anuric” is sure to
be Dr. Pierce’s. You will find the signa
ture on the package just as you do on j
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Aledical Discovery
for blood and stomach.
