In Philadelphia, angry crowds threaten the offices of the city's southern-based newspaper

A large and angry crowd gathered on Chestnut Street outside the offices of The Palmetto Flag, a southern newspaper published in the city by Town and Company.  Mayor Alexander Henry made a personal appearance from one of the windows of the building and this, along with a pledge from the owners to suspend publication, was enough eventually to avert a violent incident. (By John Osborne)
