Roberts has Just received a letter from Leigh Hunt, the noted Ameri can capitalist and explorer, <wbo is engaged in opening up an extensive area In the Boudan to the raising of cotton, in which Mr. Hunt says his experiments in the employment of American negroes In the Soudanese cotton fields have been successful. About a year ago, Mr. Hunt took a dosen skilled cotton growers from Tuskegee to- Africa for the purpose of testing their value in raising cot ton and his experiment attracted much notice at the time. He has de cided now to take over several times as many as in his original experiment. He arrived In N#w York a few days ago en route to Tuskegee and it was from New York be wrote Mr. Rob erts. He expects to reach Washing ton in a short time, on bis return from Tuskegee, and as he and Secre tary Wilson of the department of agriculture are great persdbal friends, he will doubtless have much to say to the secretary and to the experts In cotton growing in the department, about the method of cotton raising pursued in the Soudanese region. Mr. Hunt writes Mr. Bcberts not only that he is pleased with the American negroes as cotton growers, but that they themselves are greatly pleased with the climate and Bur- roundings into which they have been I after our Socialists unless our repub lie rides safely through the storm that Is now gathering. The impor tant issue here is simply this: Shall a few rich men, by and with the con sent of .the senate, dominate the United States, or shall President Roosevelt by and with the help of the people prevail In his fight against corporate greed?"

His object in getting skilled American negroes is not entirely on account of their own worth in the growing of cotton, but also to have them teach the Egyptian natives how to do this work. He will have this In mind In making his selections of the next list of those who are to ac company blm on bis return. He de sires to have negroes who. have been technically educated in cotton grow ing and be will avail himself of the counsel of Booker IV- Washington in getting men of the rig Of tnis experiment In transporting American negroes to the Soudan, Mr. Hunt says: “Thus far there Is certainly v po cause for disappointment. The nen gross in our employ are technically educated men, good workers and their influence on the natives Is the best. However, It looks as It the prevailing opinion that the Egyptian fellaheen Is averse from migrating to the Upper Nile is wrong if be does take kindly to the Soudan, It meins that Lord Cromer’s dream will be realized and the Soudan will become the outlet for tba overflow of Egypt, In which event my colored countrymen most meet a forceful rival." Mr. Hunt, as tbe result of the past years’s experience in the Upper Nile country, Is con rleultural possibilities. Sugar and cotton, he says, are certainties whlfe 'wheat abd barley may b3 de- paeded upon as far south as the Blue The Northern Paper* Speak Highly i* ‘ < • - of the Dashing Cavalry man. The death Kitzhugh Lee is the occasion for the expreaelon of sympa thetic and appreciative opinion In the press of the northern and eastern States. Without exception, as far as we have seen, these papers have gen erously availed themselves of an op portunity to speak magnanimously and Justly of the dashing Uonfederate cavalry leader who recognized no enemy save those under a hostile flag. It was natural that the attitude of Fitzhugh Lee should appeal strongly to the best sentiment of the north ss It did to the best sentiment of the south. It was tbe attitude of a gal lant fighter, who does his best and, at tbe end.of tbe struggle, returns as gallantly to the tasks of pesos—tasks made more difficult by defeat and lorn. In assuming this courageous position, however, he was not the leader, ae one might infer from reading the eu logies of him in the northern press.

Wade Hamp ton, who, Indeed, needed no counsel in any path of honor, of courage, or of right conduct. In praising Fitzbugh Lea's attitude, therefore, the praise must be accepted, in principle, for other leaders of the south In war and In peace. The New York Times said of Fitz hbgh Lee, the day he died, but before it knew of his death: “There is do man In the south, and no man in the United States, who contributed' more than iTtzhugh Lee to form, after the division of the Civil war, a more per fect union" Id an appredatioa of Lee, the Phil adelphla Public Ledger, after speak ing of the "very Important part played by this patriotic man and competent administrator la the era of reoonstruo tlon,” said: Cleveland acted with great spirit and wisdom in appointing this' dis tinguished ton of the south and form er Confederate general successively Internal revenue collector In Virginia and consul general at Havana; and President McKinley must have great credit for his decision to retain this Demccrat at the Important Ha post, and particularly for appointing m to be major general of volunteers during the war with Spain, and finally, military governor of Havana * * * Gen Lee was thoroughly i "recorstructed," like his uncle, tbe r^niOoufedefaW mtlt ary leader.

In many instances men walking along the streets who had no active connection with the strike were as saulted by hoodlums, wbo beat them first and later accused them of being strike breakers. A notable instance of ibis kind was that of Bsv. W. K. Wheeler, pastor of the Ninth Presby terian church who while paafng tbe corner of Desplaiues and Adams streets on his way to the Pennsylvania depot, was attacked by three men, who knocked him down and beat him unmercifully until the timely arrival of the police saved him from critical injury.

As far. as knowD< but one man was killed during the day. The list of In jured Is much greater than that ^ which it la possible to obtain. In many cases tbe nonunion men swung their clubs with gna^effect; knocking men from their wagons headlong into the street; in other instances, when assailed by mobs, tbey fired point blank into the crowds, and it is diffi cult to see how the members of tbe mob could escape many broken beads or how all tbe bullets fired during the day should have gone wild. / THK DEAL) AND INJURED.

Three wagons, formerly owned by the Edwin F. Daniels Goal Company, were being driven south in Wabash avenue. At the Harrison street crossing a large crowd gathered about tbe dri vers and guards. Sticks, tiling, broken bottles and other mis siles striking the negroes. NEGRO SHOOTS. One of the oolored guards, named Carter, whipped out a revolver and shot at Henry Schultz, who, It la al leged, was approaching Carter. The bullet struck Schultz in the left side He ran south in Wabash avenue for a block before he fell. The crowd thoroughly enraged at the action of the oolored men quickly dosed in up on the non-unionists and beat them thoroughly. A police osll was sent In and seventy. policemen under In spector Patrick J. Lavln harried to tbe soene and dispersed the crowd with vigor. Schultz was taken to a hospital Carter was arrested. The bullet struck one of Schultz’s ribs. He will recover. Tbe shooting caused much excite ment at the Auditorium. Tbe wo men became hysterical and rushed back Into tbe hotel. For a time sit traffic on Wabash avenue able and the Indiana avenue electric oar line was at a standstill. PICTURESQUE SIGHT. One of the picturesque sights wit nessed today was a procession of 600 □on-union oolored teamsters going from their lodgings to tbe Employ ers’ Teaming Company barns, at Franklin street and Jackson boule- vard, The negroes were led by a white man, Frank Curry, formerly a street oar gripmau, who became a strike bleaker during tbe city railway strike here some mouths ago', and who bas recently been active In labor troubles at St. Louis. Crowds fol lowed Curry’s novel prooession today but tbe size of tbe foroe of non union ists and the fact that they were ac companied by fifty policemen seemed at first to act as a deterrent of any untowed proceedings. The prooee- slon turned Into Jackson boulevard from Michigan avenue, where there was an increasing crowd of strike sympathizers, who, with yells of de fiance, began throwing stones and bricks. Polios Lieutenant Dillon was struck on the head. He stag- gered and would b&ve fallen bad not several of the strike breakers caught aqd sustained him. Otber police and number of tbe strike breakers also hit. The march levard was stormy, but tbe barns at Franklin street were reached without j—m Injary to any '[> Thirty non-union teamsters! were at- Wednesday by a crowd of ympathizers at Jackson boule vard and Halstead streets All kinds of missiles were used. Tbe non-union teamsters, armed with stout hickory clubs, attempted to fight tbp mob, but were being overpowered when the police arrived. William Wrather, a white guard, was severely Injure | The police, dubbing right and left, rushed the crowd off the streets. Five persons were arrested. Only ten of the non union teamsters could be found, the others having fled. THOUSANDS ATTACK NEGROES Simfrltantous with the shootlrg near the Auditorium Wednesday af ternoon, another riot was In progress at Michigan avenuejaud Lake street, s mile north on the same boulevard A crowd of 300 negroes imported from St. Louis were being escorted from the railway depot to a lodging house.

Tbe Jury declined the recorder’s offer to aid them by ad- vice on any point of law regarding which they might be In doubt, and were sent back to continue their delib eratlons. At 2.20 o’oloek the tury again entered the court room, where the recorder and other court officials were In waiting, and the foreman an nounced that they had failed to agree on a verdict. He added that their dis agreement seemed hopeless of adjust ment. Upon this announcement Re corder Goff formally discharged the 12 men composing the third Jury that has considered this celebrated case. It Is understood that a majority of the jury was for aoqultal, but In what proportion they stood cannot be asoer- If you believe that It was a pby sirtal impossibility, so far as tbe os- tore of the wound is concerned, for Young to have shot himself, then that is a fact,” he said, “but you must re member that one inference cannot be proven by another Inference. M If you believe tbe defendant fired the shot without deliberation or In tent to kill, but In a moment of pas sion, then you may find her guilty of one of the other degrees of maoslsng- ter. In reaching your conclusion you must not be swayed by sympathy or tober icfiuenoe.” This is the the sec ond mistrial in tbe ease. HOW IT HAPP1H1D. Why Whlakey for OslTney tTovtd Not Be Unloaded In Time, ’ I It seems that tbe good people of Gaffney don’t drink so mneb whiskey after all, ana that a abort article we clipped from the Spartanburg Journal, a abort time ago to the effect that the express messenger did not have time to deliver all tbe whiskey con signed to Gaffney and had to carry some of it ou to Spartanburg and re turn it to Gaffney tbe next day, was misleading. The Gaffney Ledger makes the following explanation of the story, which puts a different phase on it altogether : “A Ledger repre sentative called upon Mr. Fisher, tbe local express agent, and asked blip about the truth of the article. ■trike Miss Patterson collapsed on" the Jury’s announcement and fainted dead away. She was sails ted from the court bv one of bar counsel and eeveral court attendants and revived In the ante room. On the second return of the jury, Recorder Goff made a personal appeal to the foremaa to endeavor again to reach a verdict. The foreman entered the Jury box aad polled the Jurors In opon court, but they were not able to agree. The fe&rder then asked them again If there was not some point in law or something be could do by which they might be able to reaoh a verdict, but tbe jurors re mained steadfast and finally declared their verdict a disagreement. Record er Goff, before olsmiaslng the jury, cautioned them notMrtrtl how they stood/' Recorder Goff In his charge to thr jury said: “You must not think that because of the bumble-position of this woman you should not give her the same consideration as If she occupied a more exalted position In society. Whatever her position, she Is entitled to the same legal rights aa the most prominent and most conspicuous. If there be a reasonable doubt In this case on the evidence, this doubt must be thrown Into the balanoe for the defendant A danger Ilea In the re marks of oounsal which might take your mind off the direct issue. You must Avoid this danger." The isoorder described tbe two de greto of ihurder and manslaughter In tbe first and second degrees, which, he ■aid, he apprehended by the requests to charge was thought by counsel to wer e I be applicable In the case, and proceed ed: that there la no claim on the part of the defense that If defendant committed this homicide it was either justifiable or excusable. I also understand that the defenseelalm* that the crime »aa murder lu the first degree or nothing. But you are not bound to accept tbe arguments of counsel as to tbe nature of this crime. You are the judges of the facte, if there was murder, and in what degree. The crucial question Is: ’Did the man kill himself or did this defendant fire the fatal shot?’ “If the accused falls to 9 take ad vantage of her privilege, to make a defense, under advice of her counsel, ber failure to do so must lu no way, be held against her. , » ‘'Much has been mid relating to tbe motive which actuated this defend ant," he continued. “The prosecution claims that she shot the man because be bad cast ber off as bis mistress. But it la not ueossmry to prove mo tive to eonviot of murder. If It is shown that a motive existed, then it tends to support the oiroumsterfoee But to do this motive must be pitt ed, not imagined." . ' Before giving the earn to the jury, Recorder Goff ruled on the requests to charge Interposed in Mias Patter son’s behalf. He refused to submit one of the requests, saying It would be a direction to the Jury to acquit the de fendant. He told the Jury, however, that tbey might disregard the testi mony of Julia Smith it they thought It right to do an. tal of fourteen packages for Gaffney ; that ou account of a large amount of otber express, such as fish, cab bage, etc., they did not have time to handle the entire fourteen pack ages of whiskey, and that not more than eight packages were carried by. We make no concealment of the faot that whiske? domes to Gaffney. It does come, and more than we would like to see come, but it is manifestly unfair to try to leave tbe impresrtou that tba present state of affairs la pot an improvement over tbe old ayatem. Certainly tbe consumption of whlakey In this county has been reduosd- and that materially—and that la what we were aiming at. Our pro-dispensary friends, however, take every opportu • nity to have it appear that the effort to reduce tbe consumption of whis key Is a failure. Such Is not the case, and If tbey would be fair they would not t/y to pervert the facta.’’ FATAL QUARREL Thomas Jones Shot Thronfh the Heart by Thomas Ooifrey. ^ ABOUT A GRAPE VINA her The Met Were Nex| Deer Nslfhhcrs, mi tbe Trsfefiy Respited from a Mi- Over a Very Trt- ► vial Matter.
