THE BURDENS OF LIFE.

Dr. Talmsge. j
San Francisco, May 27.?Rev. T. J
DeWitt Talmsge is now in this city,
whence he will sail next Thursday on j
the steamer Alameda for Honolulu on 1
his trip rc*md the world. He prea hed i
today to a large and deeply interested 1
audience on the subject of "Heavy '
Weights," the text b:ing taken from 1
Psalms lv, 22, "Cast thy burdens upon
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee." 1
David was here takiDg his own medi- 1
cine. If anybody had on him tcivvy :
weights, David had them, and yet out of i
his own experience he acvises you and 1
me as tothebesi way of getting rid of 1
hardens. This is a world of burden bear- 1
ing. During the past few days \iciQ2S i
came from aci oss the sea of a m'igb ty and 1
good man fallen. A man full of the 1
Holy Ghost was he, his name the syno- 1
nym tor all that is good and kir.d and i
gracious and beneficient. Word comes 1
to us ?f a scourge sweeping oS huidreds
and thousands 01 people, ana taeie is a ;
burden of sorrow. Sorrow on the sea <
and sorrow on he land. Coming into
the house of prayer there may be no
sign of sadness or sorrow, but where is i
the man who has not a conflict? Where
is the soul that has not a straggle? And i
there is not a day of all the year when :
my text is not gloriously appropriate,
and there is never an audience assembled i
on the planet where the text is not glo- i
riouslv aDDrooriate. "Ca3i thv burden ]
v upon the Lord, and he shall sustain i
thee." i
In the far east wells of water are so i
infrequent that when a man owns a well :
he has a property of very great valus, :
and sometimes battles have been fought i
for the possession of one well of water,
tut there is one well that every man <
owns, a deep well, a perennial well a i
well of tears. If a man has not a burcen
on this shoulder he has a burden on the ]
other shoulder. i
The day I left home to look after my- j
self an4 for myself in the wagon my fa- i
ther sat driving, und he said that day <
anm#?t.hincr whir.h has feftnt. with T?fl all
my life: "DeWitt it is always safe to i
trust God. I have many a time come to a !
crisis of difficulty. You may know that, :
having been sick for 15 jear3, it wa? no i
easy thing for me to support a family, 1
but always God came to tee rescue. I s
remember the time," he said, "when I i
" didn't know what to do, and I saw a )
man on horseback riding us the farm <
lane, and he announced to me that I :
had been nominated for the most lucra- i
j . - _ _ _ " tive office ia all the gift of the people of
the county, and to that office 1 was i
elected, and God in that way met all my i
wants, and I tell you it is always cafe to
trust him,"
Oh, my friends, what we want is a
practical religion. The religion people
have is so high up you cannot reach it.
I had a friend who entered the life of an
evangelist. He*"gave up a lucrative
business in Chicago, and he- and his i
wile finally came to severe want. He
told me that in the morning prayers he :
he said: "0 Lord, thou knowest we i
* have not a mouthiul of food in the hou3e! ]
Help me, help us!" And he started '
on! on the street, and a gentleman met ]
him and said: "I have been thinking cf ;
you a good while. You know lama i
flour merchant. If you won't be offend- i
ed, I should like to send you a barrel of 1
flour." He cast his burden on the 1
Loid, and the Lord sustained him.. JSow i
that is the kind cf religion we want. i
In the strait of Magellan I have been 1
told, there is a place where, whichever 1
way a ship captain pats his ship, he finds I
the wind against hin, and there are
men who all their lives have been run- ]
ning in the teeth of the wind, and which 1
way to turn they do not know. Some of i
them may be in this assemblage, and I l

torily, but as one brother talks to another
brother, "Cast thy burden upon
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
There are a great many men who have
business burdens. When we see a man
harried and perplexed and annoyed in
business llle, we are apt to say, "He
ought not to have attempted to carry so
much." Ah, that man may not be to
blame at all! When a man plants his
business, he does not know what will be
its outgrowths, what will be its roots,
what will be its brioches. There is
many a man with keen foresight and
large business faculty who has been i
flung mto tno a use Dy unioreseeu cir
cumstances springing upon him from s
ambush. When to buy, when to sell,
when io trust and to what amount of i
credit, what will be the effect of this 1
? new invention in machinery, what will 1
be the effect of that I06S of crop and a ?
thousand other questions perplex busi- c
nesB men until the hair is silvered and
deep wrinkles are plowed in the cheek, c
and t&e stoks go up by mountains and go J
down by valleys, and they are at theW e
wits' ends and stagger like drunken t
men. 3
xnere never cas dccu a time wueu i
there have been such rivalries in busi- s
ness as now. It is hardware against ]
hardware, books against books, chaad- t
lery against chandlery, imported article i
against imported article. A thousand a
stores m combat with another thousand h
stores. Never such advantage of light, t
never such variety of assortment, never r
so much splendor of show window, nev- c
er so much acuteness of advertising and I
amid all these severities of rivalry in
business how many men break down! t

the barden on tbe heart! (
Yon hear that it is avarice which J
drives these men of business through \
the street, and that is the commonly ac- \
cepted idea. I do not believe a word of
it. The vast multitude of these business v
men are toiling on for others. To edu- fc
cate their children, to put wiog of pro- I
tection over their households, to have p
something left so wheD -tbey pass out of h
this life their wives and children will not p
have to go to the poorhouse?that is
the way I translate this energy in the ii
street and store, the vast majority of h
that energy. Grip, Goage & Co. do not p
do all of the business. Some of yon re- tl
member when the Central America was
coming home from California it was b
wrecked. President Arthur's father-in- s
law was the heroic captain of the ship c
and went down with most otthe passen- c
gera. Some cf them got off into lifeboats G
but there was a young man returning ^
from California who had a bag of gold *
3 bis bsnd, and as the last boat shoved !
ff from the ship that wa3 to go down
hat yean? man snooted to a comrade in
he boat: ''Here, John, catch this gold,
"here are $3,000. Take it home to my
>id mother. It. will maKC her comtorta:ie
:n her 'a3t days." Grip, Gouge &
Jo. do not do all the business of the
rcrld.
Ab, my friend, do you say that God
!o:s not care anything about your world7
business? I tell ycu God kuows more
toout it lhan you do. He know3 all your

A joung accountant m New York city

was nearly frenzied. It seemed by those

was honest. The last day came. He
snew if he could sot that clay make his
iccounts come cut right he would go
nto disgrace and go into banishment
irom the business establishment. He
went over there very early, before there
was anybody in the place, and be knelt
3own at the desk and said: "0 Lord,
thou knowest I have tried to be honept,
but I cannot make these things come
out right! Help me today?help me this
morning!" The ycuog man arose, and
bardly knowing why he did so opened a
hnnir !?v nn the desk, and there was
a leat containing a line of figures which
explained every thing. In other words,
he cast hi* burdeD upon the Lord, and
the Lord sustained him. Young man,
do you hear that?
Uh, >e3, God has a sympathy with
anybody t'aat is in any kind &f toil. He
knows how heavy is the hcd of bricks
that the workman carries up the ladder
on the wail, he hears the pickax ot the
miner down in the coal shaft, he knows
bow strong the tempest strikes the sailor
at masthead, he sees tho factory girl
among the spindles and knows how her
arms ache, he sees the sewing woman
in the fourth story and knows how few
pence she gets for making a garment,
innnp-r ihnn all the din and roar of
the city comes the voice of a sympathetic
God, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and lie shall sustain thee."
Then there are ;a great many who
have a weight of persecution and abuse
upon them^ Sometimes society gets a
grudge against a man. All his motives
are mlsinterpre.ed, and all his good
deeds are depreciated. With more virture
than some of the honored and applauded
he runs only against raillery and
sharp criticism. When a man begins to
go down, he lia3 not only ttia force of natural
gravitation, but a hundred hands
to help him in the precipitation. Men
are nerser.uted for their virtues and their
1 ? XT
uccesses. Ge:manicu3 said he had ju3t
is many bitter antagonists as he had adornments.
The character sometimes
is so lustrous that the weak eyes of envy
and jealousy cannot bear to look at.it.
It was their integrity that put Joseph
in the pit, andDanielm the den. and
Shadrach in the fire, and sent John the
Evangelist to desolate Patmos, aad Calvin
to the castle of persecution, and Joha
Buss to tbe stake, and Korah after

after Christ. Be sure if you have anything
to do for church or stale and you
attempt It with all your eouI the lightning
will strike you.
The world always has had a cross between
two thieves for the one who
comes to save it. ILgh and holy enterprise
has always been followed by abuse,
rhe most sublime tragedy of self sacriBee
lias come to burlesque. The graceful
To?f nf wirtnrA isalwavR followed hv
jccff and grimace and travesty. The
rweetest strain of poetry ever written
bas come to ridiculous parody, and as
long as there are virtue and righteous,
aess in the world there will be something
for iniquity to grin at. All along the
tine of the ases and in all Jands the cry
bas been: "Not thi3 man, but Barabbas.
Now, Barabbas ??as a robber."
A nd what make3 the persecutions of
ife worse is that they come from people
whom joa have helped, from those to
whom you loaned money or have started
n business, or whom you rescued in
iome great crisis. I think it has been
.he history of all cur lives?the moBt
icrimonious assault has come from those

,o bear. A man i3 in danger of becomng
cynical.
A clergyman of the "Umversalist
jhurch went into a neighborhood for the
establishment of a church of his denomilation,
acd he was anxious to find some
>ne of that denomination, and he was
jointed to a certain house and went
Ihere. He said to the man of the house:
'I understand you are a U mversaiist. i.
vant you to help me ia tbe enterprise."
'Well," said the man, UI am a Universalist,
but I have a peculiar kind of Unirersalism."
"What is that?" asked the
ninister. "Well," replied the other, "I
lave been out in the world, and I have
jean cheated and slandered and outraged
md abused until I believe in universal
lamnatlon!"
The great danger Is that men will besome
cynical and given to believe, as
David was tempted to say, that all men

hat be the effect upon your souls! If
rou cannot endure a little persecution,
low do ycu think our fathers endured
:reat persecution? Motley, in his "Dutch
Republic," tells us of Egmont, the maryr,
who, condemned to be beheaded,
miastened his collar on the way to the
caffold, and when they asked hiln why
le did that he said: "bo tney win not
>e detained in their work. I want to be
eady." Ob, how little we have to enlure
compared with those who have gone
>efore us!
Now, if you have come across ill
reatment, let me tell you you are in ex;elient

osiah Qumcyand thousands of men and
yomen, the best spirits of earth and hea
eu.
Badge not one inch, though all hell

>e made a target for devils to shoot at.
)o you nst think Christ knew all about
lersecution? Was he not hissed at! Was
e not struck on the cheek? Was he not ;
?ursued all the days of his life. D:d they
ot expectorate upon him? Or, to put .
: in Bible lansuaze, *lThev spit upon

ersecution is? "Cast they burden upon !
be Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
Then there are others who carry great 1
uraens cf physical ailments. When ,
adden sickness has come and fierce ,
holeras and malignant fevers take the 1
astles of life by storm, we appeal to .
rod, but in these chronic ailments which ;
rear out the strength day alter day and i
reek after week and year after year how 1
little resorting to God for solace! Then
people de pendea upon their tomc3. and
their plasters, and their cordials rather
than upon heavenly stimulants. I
Oh, how few people there are completely
well. Some of you, by, dint of
perseverance and care, have kept living
to this time, but how you have had to (
war against physical ailments! Antedilu
viacs, without medical college and infirmary
and apothecary shop, multiplied
their years by hundreds, but he whobas
gone through the gantlet of disease in
our time and ha3 come to 70 vcars of age
is a hero worthy ot a palm.
The world seems to be a great hos- ?
pital, and you ran against rheumatisms
and consumptions and scrofulas and
scrofulas and neuralgias and scores of
old diseases baptized by new nomenclature.
Oh, how heavy a burden sickness
is! It takes the color out of the sky,
and the sparkle out of the wave, and
the sweetness out of the fruit, and *.he
luster out of the night. When the limbs
ache, when the mouth is hot, when the
ear roars with unhealthy obstructions,
how hard it is to be patient and chearfaland
assiduous!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord."
Does vour head ache ? His wore the
thorn. Do your feet hurt? His were 1
crushed of the'spikes. Is your side pain- i
ful? His was struck by the spear. Do !
you feel like giving way under the i
burden ? His weakness gave way under
a cross. While you are in every pos- 1
sible way to try to restore your physl- ,
cal vigor, you are to remember that
more soothing than any anodyne, more
vitalizing than any stimulant and more
strengthening than any tonic is she

of the church is to be in that direction.
Marvelous things come to me day by
day which make ma think that if the
age of miracles is past it is because the
faith of miracles is past.
A prominent merchant of Jfew York
said to a member of my family, "My
mother wants her case mentioned to
Mr. Talmage."
This was the case. He said: "My mother
had a dreadful abscess, from which
she had suffered untold agonies, and all
surgery had been exausted upon her,
and worse and worse she grew until we
called in a few Christain friends and pro

ed her case to God, and the abscess
began immediately to be cured. She is
entirely well now and>ithout any sur
geiy." So that case has come to me,
and there are a score of other cases
coming to our ears from all parts of the
earth 0, ye who are sick, go to Christ!
Oh.ye who are worn out with agonies of
body, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee."
Another burden some have to carry
is the burden of breevement. Ah, these
are th9 troubles that wear us out! If we
lose our property, by additional industry
perhaps we may bring back the

name, perhaps by reformation of morals
we may achieve again reputation
for integrity, but who will bring back
the dear departed?
Alas, me, for these empty cradles and
these trunks of childish toys that will
never be used again! Alas, me, for the
empty chair and the silence in the halls
that will never echo again to those fam
iliar footsteps! Alas for the cry of widowhood
and orphanage! What bitter
Marahs in the "Wilderness, what cities
of the dead, what long black shadow
from the wing of deatb, what eyes sunken
with grief, what hands trembling
with bereavement, what instruments
of music shut now because there are
no fingers to play on them! Is there no

Thr soul that on Jesus has learned to repose
I will not, I will not desire to its foes.
That soul, though all hell shall endeavor
to stake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake.
Now the grave is brighter than the
ancient tomb where the lights were
prepetnally kept burning. The scarred
feet of him who was "the resurrection
aud the life" are on the broken grave
hillock, while the voices of angels ring
down the 3ky at the coronation of another
soul come home to glory.

the train was running at the rate of sixty .
miles an hour. Suddenly, without a :
moment's warning, the engine dashed
into a large land slide, sending the en- <
gine in a twinkling down into the <
creek, where it still lies, The combina- i

crashed into the engine with terrific .
force, and in a few minutes were on <

but did not leave the track.
None of the passengers were injured. {
As soon as the train quieted from the 1

Columbia, S. C., May 28.?The
?rohibitioni3t3 cf the State are cow up
mu doing, though it cac hardly be said
hat the? are doing much so far. It has
jeen thought for soma weeks, since the
iccidentrl prohibition law has been of
ifi'ect, that the Prohibitionists would
nlcp Rfp.na fn hf.vft thft law ?r>r>li?ri to the
nen dealing in liquor. But they have
lot made a move so so lar a3 the general
Dubl'c is aware.
The committee now comes i j the front
lowever, and shows its hand. The
:ommittee manifestly wishes to consult
with the Prohibitionists of the State and
>et them all to join in a demand upon
iity authorities that the prohibition law
De enforced. Friday the committee prepared
an address to the people of the
State along this line and urging a big attendance
at the State Prohibition convention
to be held in this city on June 7.
This address was given to the press Fri?
clay but withdrawn and held over till yesfor^av
rohAn if rrmrta nnKHf Thfi
address reads as follows:
To the Democratic voters of SDuth
Carolina:
We are at this time confronted witb a
situation which threatens greater perils
to all the interest of ourjj^JKe than any
??lch-we-hava-batrWTace since the dark
day ot reconstrustion and negro domina
tion. It .is, therefore, the part of true
manhood and loyal citizenship, to meet
the emergency with a determined purpose
to do fearlessly and uncompromisin2lv
that which is right in the signt of
God and, trusting to him for a safe deliverance
from the impending evils.
The State Prohibition Executive Committee,
voicing the sentiments of the
large clas3 of our people who believe
that the liquor traffic in au evil agency
from wh;ch flows most of the pauperism,
crime and sufleriog which curse our S-ate
and who are confident in belief that
prohibition of the traffic is the only adequate
remedy for these evil3 within our
reach, bave issued a call for a convention
to meet in Columbia on the 7ch day
of June to consider the means for applving
this remedy. We feel that we are
but fulfillins a duty which we owe to
our fellow citizsns in urging upon them,
with all the earnestness of which we are
capable, the supreme importance of responding
to this call and giving the most
thoughtful consideration to the occasion
which demands it. An experiment authorized
by the Legislature, in direct
violation of the will of the people as ,
clearly expressed at ine ia?t eiecuoo,
has, after nine moath3 trial, ju3t been
clo3ea by the interposition of the Supreme
Court, at a cost of bitter political
animosity, bloodshed, and a condition
of unchecked lawlessness on the
part of the representatives of the liquor
traffic, unparallelled in the history of the
State. The first decision of the Supreme
Court has. been interpreted by some as
in effect, removing all restraints from
the liquor traffic, and the whiskey seller
has been thu3 advertised that they might
in 4V?a
reupeu IUCU. saiwuo auynuuu iu tub
State without molestation from the au?
thorities. As a direct result ot this announcement,
the sluice gates of this
abomination have been opened, and a
stream ot intoxicants is now rolling in
upon the State, which, if unchecked, by
the prompt and determined action of a
united people, will carry death and destruction

merciless foe, thu3 invited to invade the
sanctity of your homes. The means
of protection are within your reach.
Municipal laws exist in most of the
towns and cities of the State forbidding
the sale of intoxicating liquors without a
license and there are penalties to enforce
Buch ordinances. It therefore becomes
the duty of all good citizens to demand
of their municipal authorities that this
prohibition be applied to anyone who
would attempt, under the ill-advised assurance
of any one, to violate the law of
the community as thus expressed.

discretion of tbo court. While it is true
that these statutes, both in their penalties
and method of prcceedure, are not
such as are needed to guarantee the
most effective enforcement of prohibition,

It is therefore especially the duty of

by aiding in every proper way
to bring such violators under the operation
of the law. In this way can we
most effectually show that our denunciation
of the liquor traffic and our demand
for Its prohibition was not an unmeaning
clamor but the earnest heartfelt expression

ASSESSMENT OF RAILROAD.
Slight Redactions Made In the Assessments
of NestuZ Them.
Columbia, S. C.,May 31.?The State
Board of Railroad Equalization held a
meeting yesterday and made the assessments
on the railroads for the ensuring
year.
The Board is composed of State Treasurer
Bates as chairman, Attorney
General Buchanan, Secretary' of State
Tindal and Chairman Duncau, of the
Rairoad Commission.
The session of the Board did not last
over three hours 'out every road in tho
State was gone over aEd the assessments
on each fixed. The assessments
are not final; at least chances may be
made in some of them. Each road has
been notified of the amounts it was as
sessed at and will be given an opportunity
to enter protests or to ask for
changes. The next meeting will be
held on June 9.
Secretary Norton, of the Board, was
too busy yesterday to give the figures
to the puplic but from different sources
it was leared that there has been a
slight scaling in the assessements of a
majority of the roads. The assessments
of som9 of the new roads, notably the
Wilson Short Cut and the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern, have beenin/vraaanrl
Tho nf t.hfl "Rnarri ir>
the reductions and increases was to
equalize taxation. The two new roads
mentioned have played havoc with the
business of some of the old roads and
have consequently diminished the value
of the latter.
It is understood that the Columbia
and Greenvillee, the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta, the Spartanbuag,Union
and Columbia and the Piedmont
A'r Line, all of the Richmond and
Danville system, have had reductions
made in their assessments. The reductions
run from $2,000 to $3,000 per
mile. The Atlantic Coast Line and the
Port Royal and Augusta roads have
also been given reductions. The largest
cut was made in the Three C's Road,
which will hereafter pay 86,000 instead
of $10,000 a mile. The assessment of
the South Carolina road will remain as
it is, $16,000 per mile.
The assessment of the Columbia and
n-rppnvillfl rnad last vear was S10.500
per mile; the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta $14,000 per mile; the Piedmont
Air LineS 18,000 per mile; the
Coa3t Line $13.000.
The total reduction will not be heavy
probably $200,000 or $300,000 in the entire
State,

ber 19, 1893. Thejevidence on which.he
was convicted principally circumstantial

Pink Ryan, who was found dead under
the shed of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company a year and a half ago
and whose murder has always been
bhrouded in mystery. He further con
fftfwp.d that he had killed three other men
on the Ocmulgee river and he belonged
to a band of Kukiux. The drop fell at
12:19, and he died in five minatss, his
neck having been broken. He made no
confession of religion and said he could
live as well in hell as anywhere else.
He was defiant and sullen to the last and
exhibited no symptons of weakness on
the scaffold. The crime for which he
was convicted was one of the most bra*
tal committed in this section since the
Woolfolk murder. Miller ana otDers
waylaid and murdered Mr. BrasweJl
wbile he was on his way home to the
country from Macon. His throat was
cut from ear to ear and his head was
shot fall of slugs and buckt shot.

A -GREAT SCHEME TO INCREASE
CURRENCY.
The Plans of an Orangeburg Man to alike
Evarfbsdy Happy and to Glvo Them
Plenty cf Money?Gav^i nor Tillman
Mn(h Amused at It.
Columbia, S. C., May 29.?The latest
Bcheme for increasing the circulation
of money in this country has been suggested
to Governor Tiliman in a letter
which he save to newspaper men yesterday.
The Governor did not express
himself in favor cf the plan
but was amused at it. He thinks,
however, of advocation a tax on
bachelors. If this tax cculdbe added to
the suggested bounty for babies it might
have the eflect of adding another charm
to the proposed new law. Parents of
mr.rft than the average number of chil
dree will probably wish that the proposed
law could be made retrospective as
well as prospective. The author of the
proposed new law i3 uDkaown but here
is hi* letter:
Orangeburg, S. C., May 23,1894,
Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia,
S. C.
Dear Sir: . I have read with interest
the replies ot yourself and Senator Butler
tc the questions propouaded by the
Sta^e Alliance, and after a careful comparison
and study of the two papers, it
gives me pleasure to accord to you in
national politics that hearty support
which I have always given you in State
affairs. Your position is well taken and
strong, and I feel confident that you will
win.
To my mind tnere is one pome yet to
be settled,?bow to issue money to the
people after the government makes it?
and ifc is upon this point that I take the
liberty of writing you. The free coinage
cf silver and gold will issue money
direci to the people of the West; the
pensions will be a direct issue to all
Yankeedom, but the South will have no
money issued to her except what little
she gets by public improvements. This
puts '-'The land we love" at a great disadvantage
as 8 tie will have no money
supply except what come3 to her in .the
regular channels of trade.
I "vrite to suggest to your mature
judgraent and experience a plan foe the
issue of money direct; to the people, a
nlan that will know no JTorth. nor South
nor East, nor West. It is this: L?t the
government issue a pension of $100 in
greenbacks legal tender for all dues,
public and private) to every couple who
contracts the marriage relation; also a
bounty of $10 (greenbacks) to the parent
of every child born in wedlock after the
enactment of these suggestions into law
The effect of such a law would be mar-:
velous. The volume of circulation would
expand with the increase of population.
New industries would upring up. Joint
stock companies would be formed for the
manufacture of cradles, baby carriages,
cotton diapers and soothing syrup. A
greater demand would b? created for
food and -clothing, and there would no
longer be any danger cf over-production
along these lines. Yoang people could
then pool their issu?s and go into a combine
-or home production without any
dread of a .financial crisis. Woman's
snffrfi.ee would no longer be a burning
qusstion, and labor would receive its recompense.
Every woman would be a
Tillrranites tor all time and the next
generation ol ycuag, men would always
be ready to go to Darling-town.
I uubmit the abova, hoping it may
meet with your approval. In conclusion
I will say that I am not wedded to this
plan, or anything else. You may accuse
me o* having "an axe to grind" by this
scheme, but you cannot convict me of
the charge till the new law puts me to
the tost.
Wishifig you a long career of success
and uselulziess, I am, ever, your ardent
supporter, "Krof."
Gsyden'd Slayer Slain,
Sumter, May 31.?Information was
received here this morning that Jobn
McLeod, the desperado, murderer and

morning at aDouc * o ciock. mo lama
of the shooting are these: McLeod

proceeded to help himself to the goods
he found therein. Some person passing
heard the noise and went to the house
of Mr. Turner, who clerked for Mr.
Mims, and. called him up. Mr. Turner
went to the store and McLeod ran out.
He shot at McLeod, the ball striking
him in the abdomen. McLeod, however,
did not stop, but ran to some woods
about 150 yards away carrying with
him the goods he had taken. The citizens
were aroused ana surrounded the
patch of woods which McLeod had entered

MeLanrln Favo*8 the F,?pe<l ot the Ten
Per Cent Tax
Washington, J une 1.?Committees
were called for reports and the House
recurred, in committee of the whole,
Richardson of Tennessee, -in the chair
to the consideration of the bill to repeal
the 10 per cent State bank tax
law.
Black (Dem.) of Georgia had the floor
and presented his argument against the
constitutionality of the law. He spoke
an hour, attracting the close attention
of members. His peroration was an
eloquent recital of the leading part
taken by the South in the history of
the government and of the nation and
a refutation of the assertion that the
repeal of the bill , was desired alone by
the Republicans of the South. At its
close, he was warmly applauded and
received ttie congratulations of his
associates on tne noor.
Walker (Rep.) of Massachusetts
spoke for two hours upon a general financial
plan embodied in a Dill introduced
early in the session by himself.
He had no defense to make of the existing
financial system of the country.
What it needed was flexibility. The
object of his bill was to force into circulation
every dollar that could be advantageously
used. The present system
withheld from circulation $600,000,000
or 8800,000,000 of currency.
That, he emphatically said, mast stop.
McLaurin ot aonth Carolina addressed
the House on the bill. He told of
the direful results to the cotton market
during the financial stringency and
how "King Cotton" was saved from dethronement
only by the issue of clearing
house confidence certificates, whichntiMa/vnf
f? CrttifVl f^QVAlirtO
p<UK)CU bUlLCUb iu uuutu voivuua uuu
enabled the people to tide over the
crop moving period. Bat the promised
prosperity when the Sherman Act was
repealed had failed to materialize, he
said, and the crop moving period was
again upon them. WJiat were they do ?
If South Carolina had to pay a tax
upon her clearing hou3e certificates he
saw no reason to exempt the great
clearing house association of New
York, for while in the use made of the
South Carolina certificates there was a
wide difference, the legal principle was
the eame. He did not believe as some
did that State banks would cure all onr
financial woes, but the repeal of this
tax was a step toward a radical change
in our financial system, a step toward
decentralizing the enormous and dangerous
powers now vested in the national
banking system.
There were, said McLanrin, but two
avenues through which the currency
could now be increased, to wit:
1. The coinage of gold, and
2. Additional national back notes.
Every other channel had been closed.
He believed we needed a currency
which had both local and national
characteristics. The old State banks
were not in touch with the spirit
of the age. Every section of the
Union was entitled to enough currency
to raise and market its crop, and it
was the duty of the government to pro
vide the machine^ to do this. The
United States might issue enough
Treasury notes to be divided among
tbe various States in proportion to population,
the States depositing with the
government their bonds bearing a sufficient
amont of interest to cover all expenses.
It would then be left to each
State to provide; the method of distribution
for its quota of money and we
would have a currency to do local business
which would pass at par everywhere.
Wheeler of Alabama followed Mr.
M/iT ani>in in oa favnrinff thA
iUVJ-iCIUliU iU (?a (ug UU4VMW am V - n wmw
repeal of the law. It was, he declared,
a war measure, pure and simple, and
had no foundation other than .the necessity
that was then supposed to exist
for the national government to control
the issue of circulating medium. He
hoped the Hoase would yield to the
eloquent appeal of the gentleman from
Georgia and give tne country an adequate
amount of money. When he
spoke of money he meant money with a
purchasing power. He characterized
the national banks as a great trust.
The presidents of the institutions in
New York city acted as one man. Before
Wheeler concluded, the committee
rose and, at 5 o'clock, the House adjourued
until to-morrow at noon.
A FIENDISH PLOT.
Its Instigator Promptly Swanjf Up by
Judge Lynch.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 31.?A
special to the Times-Union from Pala
tka, Fla., says: The people of this
section are very much excited over the
discission of a diabolical conspiracy
among the negroes to commit a series
of outrages npon white women. The
particulars are that about eight weeks
ago, a negro preacner oy ine name 01
LT. Burgis came to the turpentine
stills in the neighborhood of Putnam
Hall and procured employment. After
becoming acquainted with the colored
employees he made damaging remarks
about the daughter of a farmer living
near by, and proposed to the negroes
that they should seize the girl and
several other white women and carry
them into the swamp and make them
submit to their embraces. It is understood
that several negroes agreed to
the plan and that preparations were
being made to carry it Into effect
Fortunately the white people got a
? ^ * MMMAMVanAii V\Amr) t>
milli UL luc cuuayuo^jr auu ucgau iu
m?ke an investigation. They secured
evidence that snch a conspiracy did exist
and they took steps to guard their
homes. In the meanwhile the negroes
learned that their diabolical plan was
known, and secretly they began to
leafe the country. One of those to
leave was Burgis, who had suggested
the outrages upon the women. He fled
just in time to escape from a number
of white men who had gone to secure
him. It was learned that Burgis had
gone to Georgia, and the father of the
youDjf lady whom Burcrls had so vilely
slandered awore oat a warrant against
the negro. The Georgia, authorities
were communicated with and Burgis
was arrested. A Florida officer left to
secure the negro Sunday. The officer
returned with the negro, and, fearing a
mob, stopped off at a little station called
Newburg, intending to secret the
prisoner at a friend's home near by.
The officer started to this friend's
house, but had not proceeded more
than half a mile when he was suddenly
confronted by between seventy-five and
a hundred mounted men. They covered
him wif.h irons and rifles and de
manded the prisoner. Being overpowered
there was no alternative but
to give him up, and next morning Burgis
was seen hanging from a limb two,
miles from the place where he was
taken from deputy Lane. Boxgisis
described as being about 45 years of
age, 6 feet tall and weighing about 180
pounds. He confessed to Mr. Lane
that the report he circulated about the
farmer's daughter was untrue, but
that he made the remark about her to
interest the negroes in his damnable
undertaking. The white people are
wild with rage, and it is believed that
more lynchings will speedily follow.

Columbia, S. C., Jane 1.?It will be j
remembered that while Treasurer Wal

tendance upon the diocesan convention
he was instructed by Governor Tillman
to bring a suit against Vincent Chicco
for perj nry. This was to be done upon v
the ground that Chicco was reported as
having boasted that be sold liquor dur- 5
ing dispensary days and on the strength
of that made an affidavit that he had
obeyed the dispensary law and thereby
got S50 license money from the county.
When Governor Tillman read the newspaper
accounts of the trial, he got
