Rescued From Officer and Shot to Death. The news of a lynching in the Pax ville section was discredited -when it first reached Manning early Sunday morning, but later developments proved it to be only too true. The people of that section are noted for being law abiding, and for opposition to mob violence, yet a lynching occured but a short distance from this peaceful town and on account of an attack upon one of its young white citizens. The facts as we learned them are about as follows: Jos'pb W. Mims, Jr.. a. son of Mr. Mites, a merebant of Parville, had an altercation with a negro woman :ast Wednesday and gave her a flog ging. Saturday night the young man while on his way home from his fath er's-store was waylaid and struck in the stomach with a brick which knock ed hun senseless. lie lay on the spot where he was felled until some one hearing him groaning picked him up and carried him home. He was seri ously hurt; the news of the attempt on the life of Mims soon got out and Mar rion Cantey, a brother of the negress with whom Mims had the difficulty wi. was arrested upon a warrant is sued oiy Magistrate Barwick, the mag gistrate committed Cantey to jail and turned him over to his constab.e, Laur ence Barwick, tobring him to Manning and lodge him in jail. but when the constable and his prisoner reached randal's mill they heara tbe sound of boise hoofs behind them coming, and the constable suspected they were after his prisoner,- he tried to make his norse out run them, but it, was use:ess. The crowd caught np with him and de manded Cantey and then lorcioli to. k him away threatening him if he dii not leave. The constab:e made a cir cuitous route to Manning to report to the sheriff, but when he got here he was unable to say whether the crowd was composed of white or colored, or whether or not any violence had been done or not. About all be could say was that there was a crowd of twenty or twenty-live men, and after they got, him and he started for Manning he beard a number of shots. Marion Cantey was shot, and shot to death by some one who stood within Crse range as the wound indicates, and the ground all about the corpse was shot up showing that there was a fusilade of shots fired at the victim. Coroner Gray went to the scene, em panelled a jury and they returned the usual verdict, "that the deceased came to his death from gunshot wounds in the hands of persons unknown."

State Chairman Evans Comments on Gover nor's Action. Spartanburg, February 23 -Special: John Gary Evans. chairman of the Dem ocratic State executive committee, said today that in view of the fact that Gov ernor Blease bad fixed a date for the election of a Congressmun in the 1st district to succeed the late George S. Legare, nearly a month in advance of the date appointed for the Democratic primary eleCtion, there would probably be no primary, and the Democratic party would have no regular nominee. Mr. Evans referred to the Governor's action as "some of his meanness." Mr. Evans was strongly of the impression that April 27 had been fixed as the date for the primary. When assured that it was May 27, he said that at 4.l1 events the executive committee had fixed a date as early as the law allowed. The law required, he said, that sixty days should be given Charleston for the preparation of the club rolls. He said that Governor Blease was informed in writing of the date appointed for the primary by the secretary of the execu tive committee. GOVERNOR STANDS BY ACTION. Columbia, February 23.-Special: "Mr Aull explained my reasons per fectly, and I stand by what he said," was the comment of Governor Blease today when asked if there was anything further to give out in the matter of the date for the general election to chose the Oongre.sman from the 1st district. The story, carried exclusively by The Sunday News, stating that Governor Blease had ordered the general election for April 29, this being nearly one month ahead of the date set by the State Dem .ratic executive committee, May 27, for the primary to select the Democratip nominee for Congress from tbat, dairict. created much- interest here and throughout, the State. People are speculatirag on what will be done. All are agreed that the pri mary will either have to be abandoned or else the State committee called to gether to select a date in advance of April 29. The situation is interesting, to say the least and some are suggest ing that a conventions had better be held to select the Democratic nominee. W F. C. CAUSED SURPRISE HERE. Governor Blease's action in fixing the date for the election in the 1st district as April 29, whereas the State execu tive committee had fixed the date for the primary as May 27, caused general surprise in Charleston. It is the gener al' belief here-that the result of the Governor's action will be to do away al together with a primary in connection with the race for Congressman. since it is not considered likely that the execu tive committee will aivance the date of the primary, even if it is in any way possible to do this under the law. The law requires that the rolls in Charles ton county must be filed with the audi tor sixty days in- advance of the pri mary, and if, as he held by some, a complete new enrollment is required. it would bardty be possible to hold the primary in less than ninety days from the day on which it was ordered. Private Secretary Aull gave as one reason for Governor Blease's action the Governor's belief that tne 1st district should have representation in Congress as soon as possible Opinion in Charles ton seems to be divided on the question whether or not the importance of early representation is sufficient to outweigh rhe desirability of selecting the Demo ratic nominee by the regular and pre scribed met-hod, that is, through the holdingr of a primary. Chairman Henry W. Conner, of the Charleston county executive commit te, stated last night that in his opinion very effort ought to be made to hold a primary He stated that all the persons iterested ought to get together and pen up the situation so that a primary ou d b,- held Mr -C. nner stated that e wotuld do his best to bring this about. -News ansd Courier, February 24tn.

The following well authenticated hostly happening is recorded In Jessie Ldlalde Middleton-s "The Grey Ghost Book:" A lady had taken a furnished house n Suffolk. England. from a widow who lad latel lost her son. One day she was .sit g in the drawing room when he figure of a boy of about thirteen walked across the room, halted oppo dte a table on which was some china tmd began to weep bitterly. When she ot up and hastened toward the boy to omfort him he at once vanished. As he same thing occurred repeatedly, the ady wrote to the owner of the house. eeking for some explanation. This was her answer: "Will you kindly search the table vith the china ornaments on it, and if roe find sixpence in any of them put it ato the poor nag in church? I gave im 'sixpence to put in the bag thelast Sunday he went to churchfand instead )f putting it in he kept it to spend. He old me about it before he died, but I lid not know where he had hidden It." The tenant searched and found the dxpence in a little china jug. She put t Into the poor bag-and was never tgain visited by the apparition. "Paying Through the Nose."

Victor Hugo's Views on the Immor tality of the Soul. Victor Hugo's opinion on the question >f lUfe beyond the grave was a remark tle one. The great Frenchman was! irmly convinced that he would meet nll his friends in afuture world. He was equally sure that he had always existed from the antediluvian times. when the Creator placed him on earth. He believed that he would exist for aver, inasmuch as he felt In his soul thousands of hymns. dramas and po ems that had never found expression. When the atheists would say to him. "The proof that you will not exist in the future Is that you did not exist In the past," Hugo would answer: "Who told you 1 did not exist in the past centuries? You will say that is the legend of the ages. The poet has written, 'Life Is a fairy tale twice writ ten.' He might have said a thousand times written. You do not believe in the doctrine of surviving personalities for the reason that you do not recollect your anterior existence. But how can the recollection of vanished ages re main imprinted on your memory when you do not remember a thousand and one scenes and events of your present lfe? Since 1802 there have been ten Victor Hugos In me. Do you think that I can recall all their actions and all their thoughts? "The tomb Is dark, and when I shall have passed the tomb to emerge Into light once more all these Victor Hugos will be almost wholly strangers to me. but t wi always be the same soul." The Montenegr'ins. It is only in recent years that Monte neegrins have begun to appreciate the sevices of the hospital. Hulme Bea man, after visiting the country In 1889. wrote that the people "take very little care of their children, and only the sound and strong grow up. In after life, too, they are extremely averse to sanitary precautions or medical treat ment, and a sick Montenegrin Is almost synonymous with a dead man.
