HE TALKS OUT Summary of . iv^ent Roosevelt's Message to Congress. FLAYS THE TUU3T. And Says They Should Not Be Allowed to Make Campaign Contributions. Pleads for Army andj Navy as Best Ageney for Peace. Other Suggestions. The message of F^^'dent Roosevelt read before the second boss ion of the Fifty-nlnthlcongress, consists of nearly 25,000 words. Only twenty live words are devoted to the Panama canal. A special message will be sent congress later dealing with this most absorbing question. For tbo first time In many years the message deals more with the past than the future. A feature of the message Is the sitn pi>tlsd form of spell ing and Is one of che first etUeial doo uments given to the public aiooe this abbreviated method was adopted. His first recommendation Is that In furure inexorable^^ws be ontoted prohibiting oorporatrons from contributing to polltloal cam pal* oa. The seoond paragraph of the mee sage deals with the government's right of appeal In orlminal oases and embodies an earnest plea for Buch laws as will give the government this privilege. The praetloa of setting aside judgments and granting now titles is vigorously oondemed by the prosid?nt>. The president contends that the right ef lujunotlon in labor oases should be ahollsed aud he declares It and instrument whioh is savagely abused in many Instances. The duties, as well as the good opportunities, of judges are discussed in detail and tho president makes an espooial plea for a higher and more effective jadioary ' throughout the oountry. Lynching is oondemmed in the most emphatic lauizuaire and the rao.p. riot in Atlanta is pointed to as one of the evil results of race passion. As a remedy for race hatred and a preventive for lynching the president points to earlyschool training and manual eduoation of both raoes. Capital and labor are disoussed at great length, with remedies suggest ed and moral lessons pointed out. The message deolares that muoh of the friotion between the employer and tho employe is the result of the work of the demagogue and urges that the two classes get on better terms of acqualntaneship. The eight hour law is approved in the United States, but shown to be very undesirabe in Panama, where the conditions and men are totally different. The labor of women and children in sweatshogs and faotorles is scored and better and more stringent laws against it urged. The liability of the employer is given especial attention by the president and pertinent suggestions made In reference to who shall share tho responsibility for accident to the employe. The president believes prompt and searching inquiries should always be made lu disputes between capital and labor, and arbitration employed wherever possible. The president insists that coal lands, still owned by the government, should be held and leased to miners on a royalty basis. Several pares of the message are devoted to aAivlew of the term corporation, the^feneral effeots of trosta and the legislation already inaugurated to permit the possibility of competition. The messagos endorse the Inheritance tax and approves the tax on in oomes. The president states that the rioh man is under a peculiar obligation to tfce goverernment for protection which the poor man docs not owe. Teohuioal and industrial training are urged as the best foundation for the young man and the young woman to build for the future. The tiller of the soil, the mechanic and all others who earn their bread by the weat of thelijbrow are given earnest advioe. Irrigation and forest preservations are brief/ mentioned. The president cordially endorses the movement to build a memorial amphitheatre at Arlington for use of the. Grand Army of the Reonbiin nn manorial days. The president calls eepeelal attent tlon to need of national laws relating < to marriage and divorce. Race suicide, from a Keoievaltlan point of view is given particular attention in < the message. 1 The president urges that more en- f oouragement be given American shipping that hotter water mail routes be establtsh^and faster and larger ships be put Into servloe for the oonntry's oommeroe. Currency reform is urged and the past fluetatlons in lean money reviewed, with several suggestions for national bank issues. A lower tariff or else free trade in Philllphine products Is strongly nrg- i ed, with the declaration that all Is well In the oriental possesions and pease almost secured. The menage instate that American * oltlsenahlp shoule be conferred upon i the ofttiaens of Port# Rleo and the *x penaes of tho federal eourt of Porto Rloo should be borne by the United States government. It is stated that the ad ml n 1st ration of the affairs of the Phllllpphlnea, Hawaii, Porto Rloo and othef Insular pxftssslons should be dlreoted by |the department of state or department of war of the United States, The Alaska Yukon P&olflo exposition meets the endorsement of the president who ask that proper en couragement be given the enterprise which has been launched by Alaska. , Fair treatment to all nations and espeolal oordtal hospitality for the for- 1 elgners within our gates are urged by 1 tbe president. Ho reooomenda that I an aot be passed providing naturali- , zatlon for all Japanese who come to America Intending to become cltl- ' zona. From his message it la evident < that the president was well pleased ( with conditions he found on his re- ( cent visit to Cuba, for he states that peace has been restored and the pro- 1 visional government will give way to self-government within a few months. The Rio conference Is revlewod and | the reception of Secretary Root Id | South America was<especially fortu- , uate In cementing the ties between the United States and her neighbor ( ing tropics. With a tribute to Seorctary Root ( tbe president declares thar no longer Is the Monroe Dootrine misunder- . stood by the Republlos In the South. Conditions in Central Amerloa, the friendly relations existing between tbe United States and Mexloo. "the Algeciras conference and other queo tlons or International Import are re viewed and discussed in an optimistic manner. The president calls eepeoial attention to the pelagic killing of seals and all seal hunting violations, both In this country and in foreign waters. Yital importance Is a tached bvlthe president to the eeoond Hague conference in the Interest of universal pesoe. Probably the feature of the message lies in the earnest appeal of the Drealdent to oongrcss that the pres ent high standard of the army and navy be maintained as the greatest agency of peace with our neighbors and the world. HI3 CASE WAS PITIFUL. i Cataleptic While Tramp Fell Into Hie Camp Fire. The Columbia R/.oord says In agony from horrible wounds and subleot I without warning to cataleptio tits, ' Cfoorge Eiwards, a white tramp, who \ sfcys he Is a native of Spartanburg, i was taken from Southern railway train I No. 30 on its arrival hero ea ly Friday i morning and placed In one of the smoking rooms at the depot for medl- | chl trsatment. Dr. Frank T. Kendall, i the looal surgeon of the railway, llndlr g upon Investigation that the man's 1 injuries had been received before he became a passengor, declined to assume charge of the esse. He reported 1 to City Physician C, F. Williams and the latter had the unfortunate man i brought to his cftloe In the police oat- 1 rol wagon. Uls wounds were dressed I and he was sent to his old homo in i Spartanburg on the 11 o'clock train. 1 Hi wards was on his way from Char- 1 lesion north. He left the railway station near Blaokvllle and in one of the acute oataleptto fits to whloh ho is i suljsct fell into his camp fire and re ceivod horrible burns on the right hand and arm, hip and right side. Passersby found him and took him to Blackvllie, where a kindly physician applied first aid bandages and supplied him with a ticket to Spartanburg. B> the time he reaohed Columbia, however, the pain of his i wounds and fever resulting from them made him unable to pr?oeed furthor. Ho was able to walk, however, and after his wounds had been dressed wandered down Gervals street. Opposite the police station feeling that he could not go muoh further, he oros^ed over to the state house grounds and feel swooning on the gras'i, Passorsoy found him there, and after restoratives had been ap plied he rallied sufficiently to go on to Spartanburg, where he said there were relatives who would care for him. Cut off Gli I? Hair. Michael Kurovlk, a foreigner of Homestead, Pa., attacked Edna Sto ry, 17 years old, in her home Saturday night and cut off hor bair with a raz)r. He narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of &u infuriated mob.

Surrounded by the mob, the officers rushed Kurovik to the po- * lice statian, with several hundred ex- v sited people in pursuit. For half an 1 hour the mob lingered around the sta- * tion, but dispersed when addition of- 1 fleers arrived to guard the Jail. J Kobbed the Depot.

Bulls, which is just one mile below Vanoes, was the scene of a most brutal and horrible murder on last Sunjay afternoon when a negro by the name of Emanuel Mallard murdered In a ocld blooded manner two other negroes, Cabb Porcher and Henry Poroher, two brothers. It seoms from the testimony that was brought jut before the coroners jury that wis tmpannolled to hear the case by Mag* Istrate T. M. Folder, that Mallard and Oabb Poroher. who had married Mallard's daughter, spent pretty rauoh all of Sunday together at Mallard's house on tho Bull place. During the day they took several drinks, and towards eveing they were somewhat mellow, and It Is thought got In tjuarrol about a women of the neighborhood, of whom both were enamored, whioh resulted in Mallard murdering CJabb Poroher with an old axe. The heaci of the doad man was near | ly severed from his body. After committing tne murder Mallard dragged the body to his back yard, whore he left It and locked himself in his '< hU all ooourred about live o'clock Sunday afternoon. When Henry Poroher heard that his brother O -'jb uad been murdered by Mallard,he with another negro by the name of Allen White went to Mallard's house to see what was the trouble. When t' readied Mallard's plaoe, Henry Per cher went up to the house and tapped on the door leaving White in the road at the gate. Mallard answered Henry Poroher's rap by inquiring from within the house who was there. Henry Poroher answered that it was him, and Mallard after saying something about he would let him in If ho oame with no hostile intent, slipped out the back door and oame around to tne poroh on which Henry Poroher was standing and shot him dead in his tracks without a word of warning. Mallard used an old army musket, and nearly shot his second victim's head off. After being shot Poroher, who did not know what hurt dim, fell In his tracks on the porch. About this time Mallard eaw White standing at the gate and immediately li/pnt. A V11 m nnrl n* 4 A U-.

Mallard then wont fcr.ck to the aody of Henry Porcher, which he had left on the porch, aud threw it over the banister, lie thou draped it around to the back -of his house aud laid it near the body of his first vlo* Llm. Mallard then seemed to have beQome enraged and beat the heads uf both the murdered men Into jelly with the barrel of tho old musket. How long he engaged In this Inhuman brutality Is not known, but long enough to reduce tho faces of his victims to shapeless masses of llesh. He then made his escape to vlio neigh boring woods, where he remained until he was assured by some white men that they would protect him from the negroes, whom he seemed to fear would do him bodily harm. He was at the Inquest, on Monday and freely admitted that he had killeu the two men, but made no statement as to why he old It. The aoroner's jury, of which Mr. E. W. Avinger, Intendant of Vance, was the foreman, heard the oaso nd brought In a verdiot charging Mallard with the orlme, and he was brought up to Orangeburg by Messrs: W. 0. Girl tilth and E. W. Avinger and committed to jail to await his trial for the terrible orlme of double murder. The two negroes who were killed are laid to have been bad fellows, and will be little or no loss to the community. Mallard 1b said to have oeen a peaceable, harmless kind of a iegro, and what caused him to kill lis son-in-law, Oabb, Poroher, may icvor be known, but as stated above it Is generally surmised boat the kill ng was caused by a ro w ovor a wo nan of tbo neighborhood. Mallard teems to have a straight road for the gallows. He will be tried next January, and the probabilities are that le will be promptly convicted and lung. He is guilty of one of tbe worst crimes that has been commloted In this oounty.?Orangeburg rimes and Demoorat. Hhoota Ultiiiolf. E. T.

He Was Driving Home When 8et Upon by an Unknown Party or Partiea. Attacked, knocked unoonsclous, bound, gagged and robbed of his cash by an unkuown party Thursday night glx miles northoast of Union, Is what Is said to happened to Wallace Lawson, according to the sensational story told by himself to a press represent*, tlvo bhortly after his arrival in Uulon about I o'olook Friday. The following Is the story as related to the Union correspondent of The State on Friday: "I oamo to Union yesterday, bringing my wife and two children. They spent the night with their oousln, Mrs. Lula ltarton. I left Unlou, returning home about 8 o'clock. Wallaco Knox, a friend, was with me until wo reached his home, live miles from here, after I drove on alone, letting my mule jog along slowly In thu dark. "After going about one mile farther, tho llrst thing I kuew I felt a blow on the back of my bead, which knocked mc from the buggy. As I struck the ground I felt two other blows on my forehead, when I became unoon Roloua. When I reoovored consciousness, the moon was shining, and 1 was lying across the road with my hands tied behind me with a handkerchief from my own pookot, and 1 was gagged with another handkerohlef? a white cotton one, which looks like it has never been used before. "This happened in a lonely stretch of woods, a high bank onono side, and a patch of pines on the other. When struok I was humming a hymn and leaning back in my buggy, with the top back. '4 When I got up I oould not move my arms and did not get them untied until I had walked a mile to the homo of Mr. J.O. Harris, my father-inlaw, where 1 live. 44In the lot at home I found the mule and buggy 1 had been driving. When reloased I put my hand in my pockets to see if I bad lost anything, and found mis3iug two picketboaks, in my black folding on (which bad my name, weight and height on a card in it and Chicago National Tru3t company on the ouUldc) a 820 bill and a 85 bill, and in the other, a double snap pooketbook 1 bad 82 05 in silver and sr me receipts. One of the receipts whh from F M. Adams on Oot. 24 for 815, then a registered letter reoeiot from E'z!e for $4 50, and also R waybill of some cotton Heed?all made out in my name. My silver watch was loft, however, and when I go the house I found it wap, 1 o'clock. '"My head was hurting me terribly thon, and after bathing it, I went to bed. This morning my brother-in-law, E W. Harris, oama with me to the spot and vre could rtud only two tracks, one leading to the woods and no sign of anything e^o except where some cne had been sitting on the side of the road. "As to who oould hare done it, I have no idea, for so far as I know I have no enemies, and no one saw me with the money on the streets yesterday; though I handled the pockethook vrlth only the small change in It. This Is about all I know that I can think of now." Mr. Lawson is a young farmor, abont 22 years of age, the son of W.n. Giles Lawson, Is married and has two little children. When spoken to about when he left Union, he said that ho Is not accustomed to drinking and was perfectly sober, so that there seems to be no reason to think that the affair was all a fancy. He aho shows plainly the marks of the blows on his head. FORTY MINERS KILLED.

I The men ware being lowered to work j In a lar.^e cape. Just as the cage was passing the first level, 100 foot from the surface, the dy&mitc stored in the magazine exploded, sending forth death and destruction. Absolutely no trace of the forty men can be fouud and they were evidently blown to atoms at the first flohock. Until an ea:ly hour this morning, it was impossible to ascertain the extent of the damage and even then there are a number of men who have not been aooounted for.
