FLOODS IN SOUTH. L O Gulf States Suffer From Excessive Rainfall. MANY PLACES ARE LELUGED. The Dome of the Capitol of Georgia Injured-Flood Warnings Issued by Weather Bureau. Atlanta. Special.-The southeastern Gulf States were deluged by rain Thursday night and Friday. The pre cipitation was very heavy and at Co lumbus, Ga., a bridge was swept away at 5 o'clock. The rainfall was almost a cloudburst, the Chattahoochee river rising at the rate of two feet an hour. Sev..ral washouts were reported on a number of roads and trains out of Co lumbus were annulled. There has been no loss of life. The Columbus bridge broke in two about a hundred feet from the Georgia shore and went sweeping down stream at a frightful pace. Just four and a half blocks below it is the other bridge which crosses to Girard, Ala., and it also would have'been car ried away had not the fall over the Eagle and Phoenix dam demolished the oating bridge before it reached it. The electric light and telephone wires run ning over to Phoenix City and Girard went across on the bridge and they were snapped like threads. The water pipes which supplied the city with water were also on the bridge and they, too, were broken like sticks and car ried away, leaving the city without water for a time. The water company bas an old submerged main across the river and this was placed into commis sion saving the city from a water famine. . The rain has been falling in torrents all day. No trains except the Central of Georgia from Macon have reached Columbus since noon. A washout near Seale, Ala., holds the Mobile and Girard passenger train due this morning. The departing of trains was annulled There are several washouts on the Sea board Air Line. Washouts are also re ported on the Southern Railway be tween 'here and Shiloh. Tonight the Associated Press wire is the c-nly one in operation toward the North. Afteri an Intermittent rain of 20 days Bir mingham was deluged early thls morn lag. The rain flooded the streets and amy street crossings. were torn away. aeams .are swollen -and rapidly tatitt:raiatall In Montgomery Ala, up to 7 p. ziwas450 inehes-and a heavy downpour is reported i:2 other parts of Alabama. The barometer re ;tIisadwest rea.ditg on r'e cord irr the dty. The excessive rainfall has caused a rapid rise in the Coosa and Alabama rivers. The director of the weather bureau has issued warn ings for points below Wetumpeka, and advised that stock be removed from lands subject to a high stage of water. At West Point the mehchan.ts are b sy removing goods from "stores to places of safety. The unprecedented rainfall there has rendered the recent improve ments along the river utter* useless. Fancy prics are being paid for all kinds of labor. A patrol for all-night duty along the river was established there at 9 p. mn. In Atlanta rain fell in torrents all day. The wind damaged the ventilators l*n the dome of the capitol and blew in several panes of glass. The~ water dam aged many of the offices. The telegra-ph companies were severely handicapped by the rain and lightnin.g which was at times incessant. The rainfall up to S o'clock at night was 3.36 inches. The barometer was the lowest on record. The Atlanta weather bureau sent flood warnings to all points in Alabama and Georgia reached by the Chattahoocha ~and Alabama rivers. In the southwestern section of thts State the rain and wind storm almiost attained the proportions of a cyclone and it is feared considerable damage will result. In Americus trees and fences have been blown down by the gales. Prince at Mt. Vernon. Washington, Special.-Prince Henry of Prussia journeyed to Mount Vern on, Thursday afternoon, and placed two wreaths in the tomb of Wast ing ton. He approached the grave of the first President with bared head, and that there might be nothing irrever ent in the ceremoney, asked the bold ers of a dozen cameras who stood around to refrain from photographing him. Prince Henry walked to the Washington home, and was driven from there down over the slope of the hill to the tomb. When the iron gate of the tomb was opened, he placed flowers upon It, and later planted a tree in the cemetery. Biggest Cargo of Cotton. Savannah, Ga., Specal.-The Ger man steamship Drychenfolz, Capt. Linitiz, sailed for Bremen and Ham burg with the largest cargo of cotcon ever cleared from a South Atlar tic port. She carried, according to the of ficial way of estimating the total by counting round bales, two for one, 19,332 bales, valued at $804,397. In addition to the cotton the Drych en folz also took 2,100 barrels of rosin. 3,404 sacks of cotton seed meal and 2,491 tons of phosphate rock. Trust Buys Pig Iron Cheap. Pittsburg, Specal.-One hundred and three thousand tons of Bessemer pig Iron was bought for the mills of the United States Steel Corporation. This purchase, although calling for delivery In the third quarter of the year by the merchants' furnace interests of the Mahoning and Shenago valleys, made at a remarkable low price, $16 a ton at the vnae furnace. TILLMAN TO ROOSEVELT. Lieutenant Governor Sends Message to President. Augusta, Special.-Lieut. Gov. Till man in discussing the affairs in Wash ington stated he would before leaving Augusta wire Roosevelt asking the withdrawal of his acceptance of the invitation to present a sword to Maj. Micah Jenkins. Wednesday afternoon he wired the following: Augusta, Ga., Feb. 26, 1902. The President, Washington, D. C.: A short while ago I had the honor to address your excellency a letter re questing that on the occasion of your visit to Charleston you present a sword to Maj. Micah Jenkins of the First Uni ted States Volunteer Cavalry, of whose gallant services you spoke so highly, your words being engraved on the scabbard. You accepted the invitation, for which we thank you. I am iow re quested by contributors to the sword fund to ask that you withdraw said ac ceptance. (Signed) JAMES H. TILLMAN. Late Colonel First South Carolipa Vol unteer Infantry and Lieutenant Gov ernor of South Carolina. Tillman said:-"It is with much re gret I am directed, rather required, to have to send the telegram I did, espe daily in view of the fact that I am so closely related to one who but a few days ago was subjected to all affront which is seemingly, or the people who contributed to the purchase of the sword think, unwarranted. As far as [ am personally concerned I care noth ing, rather sus"ect Senator Titlman would r^- en)oyed more the usual in formal neal with his family than ca tering to royalty at festive board where Booker Washington was a guest., ' May Not Attend Exposition. Washington, Special.-The action of Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, in withdrawing the in vitation to President Roosevelt to present a sword to a South Carolina officer for volunteer services in the Spanish-American war, has caused considerable doubt as to whether President Roosevelt will visit the Charleston Exposition ,as he had in tended to do. A number of telegrams on the subject were received from South Carolina and other States. It can be stated that the telegram of Lieutenant Governor Tillman has been received at the White House and that no attention whatever has been paid to it. The President has not yet considered-.what effect it may have on his proposed visit to the ex position at Charleston. Cruelty at Pon-Pon Mines. For a number of years com.plaints have been periodically reaching the governor of this State of the ill treat ment of Italian laborers in the Pon started t TWfoitlC sals, but nothing has ever come of any of them, and after a'whHle nothing was heard of the complaints. It appears, however, that things have not yet been properly straightened out,and last week the governor received complaint which he will refer immediately to Solicitor Davis with a request that he sift the allegation to the bottom. If there have been any such things as have 'been charged the State authorities propcse to get at the facts and see that the of fenders are dealt with according to law: Charleston, S. C., Feb. 25, 1902. To His Excellenicy M. B. McSweeney. Governor of the State of South Caro lina: Sir:-I beg to bring to your attention the complaints which come to me from the Italian laborers at Pon-pon Phos phate Mines, S. C., by which I am responsibly Informed that the Italians, under false promises that they can earn $1.25 per day, are brought from New York into this State to work. Such men are only pa.id 50 cents a day, which Is consumed in their board and lodging, and they are worked in damp ground in the 'winter and sleep In stables, and that in this condition they are under armed guard day and night and thus pr'.vented either to seek their rights or to withdraw from a fraudulent contract; that In some cases the sick laborers, fearing death. have eattempeted to escape and have been shot at by the guards, and are pursued and arrested and brought back to this enforced bondage. I call upon your excellency, as chief magistrate of th:is State, to put an end to this condition of affairs. I beg also to recall to your excel lency that I have prev'!ously borught this matter to your excellency's atten tion by my letters to you in March 1900. I am your most obedient servant, G. SOTTILE. Royal Cousular Agent of Italy. Tweed Dies Suddenly. Stamford, Conn., Special.--Wm. M. Tweed, aged 55, son of the late Tam many chieftain of that name, dropped dead at his home here, of heart dis ease. Mr. Tweed was foremrly pro prietor of a hotel in New York, but several years ago retired from busi ness and came to Stamford to live. His wife and daughter survive him. Resignation Accepted. Chicago, Special.-At a meeting of the executive board of the trustees of the Northwestern University it was de cided to accept the resignation of Prof. Chas. W. Pearson, whose critisicms of Biblical miracles has provoked so much discussion. Voluntary Raise in Wages. Fall River, Special.-The agree ment to voluntarily advance the wages of mill operatives here received its full quota of signers and the IncreasE will go into effect as planned on Mon day. April 7th. The Weavers' Pro gressive Association voted unani mously to ask the manufacturers fo; an advance in wages of 10 per cent to take effect Monday, March 17 This action amounts practically to a refusal of 7 per cent. offered by the ~fiED8 Two of Emma Postoffice Robbers Go on Scaffcld. A HISTORY OF THEIR CRIME GIVEN Both Men Faced Death Bravely-The Crime For Which They Died Was a Notable One. Asheville, N. C., Special.-Frank Johnson, white, and Ben Foster, col ored, were hanged here at 12:30 o'clock Wednesday for the crime of burglary. Public executions are not allowed in North Carolina, but a crowd of several thousand people assembled around the jail several hours before the execution an. waited until the bodies were brought out in their coffins. Foster, the negro, made a speech to the crowd fro.a a window of the jail. He declared he was ready to die and expected to go to heaven. He said there was no Scriptural warrant for execu tion except for murder, and hoped all present would endeavor to have the law making burglary a capital offense re pealed. He then began singing the hymn, "Pass me not, 0, gentle Sa rior." At 12 o'clock the prisoners were led from the cell to the enclosure in which the scaffold was erected, both mount Ing the steps firmly without assistance. The white man rad a smile on his face and both wore carnations in button holes. Each man was attended by a minister of his own color. Johnson when asked what he had to say ,exhorted the witnesses to prepare tor eternity, and said he- hoped to be the last man hanged for the crime of burglary. Rev. W. M. Vines read a !u aeral service and offered prayer, after which Foster made another speech and sang another hymn in a firm, clear voice. Then he said: "Farewell to you all, long farewell this world of sin," his voice breaking for the first time. Johnson had shown absolutely no signs of emotion. Both men were firm and calm to the last, Johnson smiling repeatedly. STORY OF A NOTED CRIME. The.story of the crime for which the our men-Johnson and Gates, white. and Foster and Mills, colored, were sentenced to die on the gallows is in some respects unique In the annals of criminal jurisprudence. The Emma postoffice is situated in a prety little valley just across the Broad ier from two nI, as the crow es, ter of the city. The pos. is kept in a country store, in which also the outhern Railway station ce-the Murphy branch of this road ning just in the rear of the store. . 3. Mc Lellan is postmaster and p 'etor of the store, and at the time he com mission of the crime Samu . Alex ander, a youth of 23, was -sistant postmaster and clerk in th re, and slept in an adjoining room. About 9 o'clock on the night of ebruary 8, 1901. Mr. Alexander, after bving closed the store, locked and bolted the doors for the night, heard a knock at the back door. He inquired who was there. A name was mumbled n reply, the speaker saying he wanted some meat and other groceries. Mr. Alexander then opened the door a lit tle way, when Johson forced an en trance. followed by Foster, both of them being masked. The men gave him to understand that their business was robbery, and cautioned him to make no try. They then made him go with them into his sleeping room. which they searhed, finding nothing they wanted except a 22-calHbre revolver, which Johnson took. Foster had a 44 in his pocket. Going from there to the safe in which the postoffice funds were kept, the men rdered Mr. Alexander to onen it. He ried to temnorize. as there w"s in the afe a consider'h1e som in gold, which kelonged to M-. McLella.nd's wife. 1reatening to kill him if 'he r.efused. they again ord1ered him to open the safe, and he did so. Johnson knelt down before it, and Foster stood on guard. A rat moved. The noise it .made loomed two men to die on the galln'ws and two to life imarisonment. 'rhe segro. true to the instincts of his race turned his head. Alexander seized tiie nortunity, grasped hi is own pistol. which Jo,hnson hia laid down, and - ylnted it at Foster as the latter again turned. A terrible struggle ensued. in which Alexander was so seriously shot by Foster, that for days after his life ung by a thread; he in turn shot and angerously wounded Foster; Foster shot his fellow in crime by accident, and before they left him, on the steps utside the door, the robbers had ieten Alexander over the head and. mt him on the hands. Their confeder tes had waited on the outside and as the foor fled one of them, said to nave ben Mills, fired at Mr. Alexander. The wounds of two of the men pre rnted them fleeing further than Ashe rille and they were captured by the po lice before daylight. Court was in ses sion at the time. Judge Shaw presiding. ['he four men were arraigned on an In ilctment of burglary, and able counsel was appointed to defend them. Public 'eeling ran high, and for sevemi days t was thought necessary to guard the tall with two companies of militia and a posse of citizens. The case 'was con tinued on account of Alexsader's in bility to appear in court, and the men were removed secretly to the Meck .enburg jail for safe keeping. The trial of the men was again begun at a term of Superior Court held in pril, Judge George A. Jones presiding -hich term was decided to be irregu The men were arraigned a third time before Judge Fred Moore, on June 3. On June 11 the jury returned a verdict of guilty of burglary in the first degree. 3nd on June 15 they were sentenced to die. August 16 being set as the date for their execution. The cpe was ap pealed to the Supreme Court. which. in December, affirmed the judgment ct the lower court and Governor Aycock fixed today as the day of the hanging. Numerous petitions, both in favor of and aga.inst commutation, were sent to the Governor. and he commuted the sentence of Gates and Mills last Fri day. Public feeling is very much divid ed here, but It is probable that a ma jorilp believed all four men ought to be Ianged. TILLMAN SPEAKS TO IRISH Speaks About Our Wars and Other flatters. New York, Special.-Under the aus pices of the Clan-Na-Geal, the one undred and twenty-fourth anniver ary of the birth of Robert Emmet was celebrated Sunday night at the ,cademy of Music. A large crowd was n attendance. State Senator Victor J. Dowling presided. United States Sen tor Benjamin R. Tillman, of South aarolina, delivered the oration. Reso lutions were adopted condemning England's colonial policy, deprecating antangling alliances by the United 3tates with other nations, sympathiz ng with the Boers, protesting against he United States Government allow .ng England to use the United States ports for the fitting out of vessels In which to ship her horses and mules, md pledging the people of Ireland learty support in their struggle for reedom. Senator Tillman was receiv :d with great applause. He said: "I am no orator and if I have any :laim to it, it is because I speak the truth and fight the devil with fire." "Well," came a voice from the audi ?nce, "If you're not an orator, you're . good fighter." A little later he said: "I was afraid [ would have to postpone my visit be mause of an incident you all probably recently read about, that occurred to ne in Washington, but one of your ,ommittee came to Washington and with his Irish eloquence made me promise to be on hand unless I was in jail. Now, here I am, so take a good look at me, for I am going to talk plainly." The Senator launched into an at tack upon England for trampling un ier the Irish. "For long centuries the Irish have been trampled upon and murdered by the English," said he, 'and it may not be amiss to here state that bickerings and petty squabbles among Ireland's own sons tave been responsible for her condi tions today. They make grand soldiers or her away from home, but fail to show their qualities in her own be half." Turning from this subject, he said In strenuous tones: "If being a flunkey and aping nobility and estab lishing a system that is akin to Eng land's policy is making Tories of us, he hIn ~..Jee~ last, or ton has got there. England," con inued the Senator, "can sq'uint and shake its thumbs at us and say 'Your work in the Philippine is as bad as urs in the Transvaal.' Why have we ot such a Government? There is the ub. Why do you pass resolutions such ,.s you have tonight and on other oc asions, and then go out and vote for .hose who are stifling liberty at Wash ington? We are losing our love for our institutions, and1 if we continue thus we will go the way of other rep'ub lics.'' Senator Tillman then said the American people were slaves to party ism and could get along without a "boss," who, he predicted, in time would betray the people. President to Determine. Washington, Special. - President Roosevelt has an appointment with a ommttee of Charleston citizens who re coming here to urge that he visit he exposition. At that time the ex pectation is that a final determina ion will be reached by the President is to whether he will go to Charles ton or not. He is very anxious.to do his and has not abandoned his origi al purpose to do so, which was only prevented by the serious illness of 'heodore, Jr. He probably will con sult the Charleston committee regard ng the effect of the Tillman dinner invitation episode and then decide whether he will carry out his cherish ed wish. Care of Hands in Winter. Any extreme temperature, or either ery hot or very cold water, is not good for the hands. Warm water is nore cleansing than cold water. A lozen drops of the tincture of benzoin idded to.*a basin of warm water is ben aicial to the hands.. Castile or one of the fine toilet soaps should be used. A generous lather should be made and he hands.-thoroughly rubbed with it. Arubber flesh-brush is a great comfort. A little bran or oatmeal if put in the water has a softening effect, and makes the skin velvety and pliable. Almond neal is also excellent for this purpose. are in drying the hands is essential to their good condition, especially in winter. A soft towel will gather up ill the moisture and should be used in between the fingers of each hand so hat every part may be thoroughly 1rled. After drying the hands it is a ood plan to rub in a little cold cream ar almond oil, after which, if they are particularly sensitive, powder may be lusted over them.-Ladies' Home Jour al The growing popularity of football in Switzerland is not looked upon by the military authorities with a very favorable eye, owing to the fact that the young men of the country are beginning to neglect rifle shooting, devoting all their spare time to the ridiron. In consequence the various :adet corps are suffering from lack af members. SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL New Enterprises That Are Enrichlng Our Favored Section. The Future of the South. Baltimore, Special.-A striking fea ture of last week's issue o: the Manu facturers' Record, its twentieth anni versary number, is the unanimity of the views expressed in it by authorities In diverse fields as to the wonderful fui- 1 ture of the South. These contributors t include officials of the scientific depart ments of the United States government, 1 men of national standing as experts in finance'and transportation, others who have made prolonged study of South ern condition and others who have long been prophets of Southern development and have participated therein by actual investment, or through publcity in the undertakings which have made the I South today. Their views must have a 4 world-wide influence in strengthening the upward movement of the South's material interests. Prominent among these contributors < is Mr. Stephen Jeans, of London, sec retary of the British Iron Trade Asso clation whoi s convinced by a close ob servation of Southern endeavor that 9 he knows of no section in the United States, "with its cup of blessings fresh from nature's hands, so overflowing as, f the Southern States." r Figures tracing the wonderful prog ress in Southern railroads during the past 20 years are re-enforced by the opinion of Mr. M. E. Ingalls, president 4 of the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis. Col. Alfred E. Shepperson, the noted e cotton statistician of New York, quotes I the expert opinion of Mr. Thomas El- c lison, of Liverpool, that "it lcoks as if the South will very shortly consume t more cotton than the North," and adds I himself: "I heartily agree with him that it is only a matter of time when the Southern mills will undoubtedly use more cotton than those of the r Northern States." In spite of the revo- F lution wrought in the cotton mill in dustry, based upon the long establish- i ed Southern staple, Secretary James e Wilson, of the United States Depart- a ment of Agriculture, does not think a that the South will be tmuch .longer 0 known and thought of primaril? as the I land of cotton. He says:' "With the great industrial progress of the South ern States and the development of their wonderful mineral and manufacturing- t resources comes the best of all markets a for the farmer--the great home mar, g ket. More and more I hope to see the t agriculture of the South diversified as I this great home market expands. Let t the cotton crop continue to ii-crease in -1 total production, but let its4 rather by higher average-per acre than a very large extension of the area r under this crop. Let Southern farmers I keep the plant food at home, and send ~ the products of the farm to market in the form of manufactured articles (manufactured on the farm by njature's procession) rathe.r than in the form of raw material. Let them grade-up their flocks and herds, and keep many more of all kinds of domestic animals. Let c them renovate the soil by the use of c legumes, and save all the fertilizing s r2aterial that the farm itself produces. t Then will the agriculture of the South 11 show in the census to be taken in 1910 s advances greater by far than even the great progress made in the last 20 years I ot hecr history. Mr. 0. P. Austin.. chief of the bu- C reaui of statistics of the United States ~ Treasury Department, shows that the C growth of foreign commerce at South ern ports has more than kept pace with the phenomenal development of our national commerce. A fit climax to the expressions of hopefulness is the statement of that i practical minded prophet of Southern r'reatness, Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of t New York: "There Is no correspond ing region on this habitable globe i South, all available by natural or ar- a tificial communications, and capable of1 more economical onerations than in t any other part of the country." Textile Notes. Ouachita. Mills of Monroe, La.. men tioned last week, states that its full complement is 5.000 spindles and 150 u looms (not 10,000 spindles, as -riven t previously), but it will start with 2.500 spindles and seventy-five looms. About seventy people will be employed, and K the production will be 20 to 25 yarns t and four-yard sheeting, 36 inches, 56 ~ inches by 60 inches. D. C. Giddings, Jr., of Brenham, Texas, states that his proposed cotton mill company, mentioned recently. is to be capitalized at $150,000, and that amount, it is expected, will be raised g soon, so that construction work can a be commenced. t Messrs. Paul F. Vogel. Frank Ham- t ilton, John Ottmanus. Charles J. Over meyer and Charles H. Walton of St. Louis, Mo., have incorporated the Pre mier Hosiery Co., with capital stock i of $15,000. Naomi Fails Manufacturing Co. of I Randleman, N.
