iiUKc GRAY'S "LAST WORDS."
Luke Gray, the negro hangec
y Aiken last Friday, for tin
xurder of a white man, made i
*unawhat unique speech on tlx
4hilows. The State reports birr
i saying :
"Til tell all you all arouix
ijre that have come to see me

said what he did to mv wife his
time had com*1 to die ; and I was
the one the Lord had said must
kill him. I'll tell you all good

in heaven."
It is a remarkable fact that

of his execution confidently expresses
the belief that ho is go

Senator Tillman declined to
I
accept President Roosevelt's invitation
to be his guest on the
occasion of the naval review last
Monday. Tillman has repeatedly
stated that he does not intend
to accept any more social or official
courtesies at the hands ol
Roosevelt until the president
apo'ogizes for the well known insuit
of a few years ago?Hie withdrawal
of an invitation to dine
at the While House. The Senator's
declination, therefore, has
, occasioned no surprise.
The alarming frequency with
which white women are being -ssaulted
