Augusta, Ga., January 26.?Fol. lowing the killing, in Columbia county, this State, Monday night of Dan Lamkin, a negro seventy years of age, by night riders and the burning of a negro church in the same vicinity, three negro property owners of that section came to Augusta to-day and turned their lands over to real estate agents for sale. Negro crop^ pers are coming in to say to cotton * merchants that they must give up trying to farm in Columbia county. Law officers say the church burning was accidental. rne negroes say ; differently. These acts follow the murder of Mr. Zach Kendrick, a wellto-do farmer of Columbia county, some time ago. Jule Lamkin, colored, son of the man slain Monday night, is in jail-in Augusta, he having confessed the Kendrick killing. He denies that his father has any i connection with that murder. Carrie Nation Fights. Butte, Mont., Jan, 27.?Carrie Nation of Kansas, heavyweight champion hatchet wielder of the world, and Mrs. May Maloy, keeper of a * dance hall, fought one round last nieht before a large crowd. A knock out was prevented by the spectators, who stopped the fight after Mrs. Nation had landed a vigorous right to i Mrs. Maloy's jaw. The fight was declared a draw. A large crowd followed Mrs. Nation through the red light quarter last night. The curious surged into Mrs. Maloy's dance hall and listened to a scathing denunciation of a photographic oil painting that hung on'the wall. Mrs. Nation finally made a gestir culation similar to the movement one might describe in throwing a tomahawk. Mrs. Maloy, fearing that Mrs. ? Nation was about to destroy the painting, screamed a tirade against the crusader and sailed into Mrs. Nation with both fists. Before Carrie could defend herself, May had torn off her bonnet and pulled her hair, keeping her attack well above the belt. Mrs. Nation, after having been figuratively rushed to the ropes, ducked a vicious left, sent a left to the ribs and then landed a vigorous right on May's jaw. Then the crowd interfered. 4 , . / ;i . ...

One Costing $300,000 to be Erected by Southern Power Company. Charlotte N. C., January 26.?The largest steam plant in the Southern States is to be erected by the Southern Power Company, of this city, at Greenville, S. C., for the purpose of generating electric power with which aiinnlnmcnt tlio nnil'Or CPP11 TPfi ' IU OUppiCUlCUV bUV IT v* WWVU* from its various hydro-electric developments during low water in the ' Catawba River, and for use in emergencies. A tremendous amount of power has been sold by the company in Greenville and immediately around j that city, and this determined the lo- 1 cation of the plant. A site for the proposed plant con- ' taining twenty acres has already been purchased, and work will begin on the power house at once. The boilers, electrical machinery and ' other equipment have been ordered during the past few days. Work on the plant will be pushed as rapidly as possible so as to have it ready for operation before the period of low water in the river next fall. The total cost of the new plant, which will be far the largest of its kind in the South, and probably one of the half dozen largest in America, will be over $300,000.

Guess on his planta-1 tion adjoining the town of Denmark j was consumed by fire this morning at 10 o'clock. Large quantities of hay, fodder, oats, and peas were destroy- 1 ed, entailing a loss of several thous- i and dollars, with no insurance.

C. L. Employee at Columbia Wounded by Negro. Columbia, January 26.?It was learned to-day that Special Officer S. H. Boyer, of the Royster yard, had been shot last night. At the Columbia Hospital late to-night it was stated that his condition was very 5rave. The Royster yards are about two miles from the city on the line of the A. C. L. towards Sumter. Mr. Boyer was on duty at the Royster freight yards last night, when he discovered two negroes taking a quantiy of goods from a freight car on a siding. He advanced closely on the thieves before he made any attempt to protect himself in case the negroes attacked him, and did not have time to draw his pistol when the negroes discovered him. In the struggle that ensued, one of the negroes snatched Mr. Boyer's pistol from his hand and shot him, the ball entering his shoulder, and coursing downward lodged in bis body. Bloodhounds were secured from the penitentiary and placed on the trail of the thieves. At police headquarters to-night it was stated that neither of the negroes had been caught. Negro Starved His Mules. Lancaster, Jan. 26.?Bob Dixon, a negro farmer, was lodged in jail Saturday afternoon on the charge of cruelty to animals?a pair of mules? which he admitted, it is said, that he had not given anything to eat for a week. The mules, weak and emaciated, were brought to town Saturday to be "turned back" to the sellers, Dixon having failed to pay for them. As they were being taken along Market street one of the mules sank to the ground from sheer exhaustion, and it was with considerable difficulty that it was put on its feet again.

Washington, January 26.?A lively fight is ahead over the fiilling of t the Barnwell postoffice, due to the t death a day or two ago of Mrs. E. A. 1 Mixon. For some time there has c been a feeling among some of the i . patrons of the Barnwell office that i there should oe a cnange, dui iear- e ing that they might be given an offi- ( cial who would prove obnoxious, it t was thought best to take no steps to j oust Mrs. Mixson. Her death there- 1 fore will prevent what, eventually, ( would have been a warm political (. fight, as she would undoubtedly ? have brought several strong Northern 1 Senators to her rescue had the plan i of ousting her had been carried out. i It is learned here to-day that there ] are already two candidates in the 1 field for the vacancy, Willie Duncan and S. B. Moseley.

I Washington, Jan. 29.?"It is a cold , day," said Senator Gordon of Missis1 sippi, standing in the doorway of the White House office and brushing the,, snow flakes from his long grey beard. "And he is the only president that I was ever afraid of," he added, rec ferring to President Taft, whose office he had just quitted.
