Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, is
rujoying a pleasure trip to Cali

The North Carolina Penitentiary
cleared $63,000 last year, after
paying all expenses.
Spain contains sixteen millions
of people, of which ten millions

amounted to $2,105.
President elect McKinley, is in
favor of an international agree
ment for bimetallism, and we may
be happy yet.
Perhaps it is not generally
know that the 19th of January
is a legal holiday, made so by the
Legislature in honor of the birth
day of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
And now they say that Presi
dent-elect McKinley is descended
from Duncan Macdui!:, of Scotland,
the celebrated thane cf Shakes
peare, who slew Macbeth.
The Southern Railroad company
announce that about the middle of
the month a morning train from
Augusta to Columbia will be put
on. This is something that has
long been desired by the travelling
public and will be much appre
ciated.
On the night of Jan. 5th the
residence of Rev. M. L. Jones, five
miles north of Pickens, was de
stroyed by fire with its entire con
tents, and his son Elbert and his
daughter Mary, both nearly grown,
perished in the flames. The father
was absent from home.
A bill has been introduced into
the legislature of New York state
limiting the height of buildings to
175 feet. It meets with favor and
will doubtless be passed, as the
number of sky scrapers has in
creased to an alarming extent
within a few years.
The Southern rice planters are
trying io induce Congress to raise
the duty on rice. We suppose
every such move will meet with
favor during the next adminis
tration, whose policy will embrace
a protective tariff. We must con
fess vT3 G??y want to' see" cotton
"protected" and higher in price.
At Otrapio, in Charleston coun
ty on Thur?day last, Mr. John
Poppenbeim shot and instantly
killed L. F. Brown, who had won
a lawsuit against him, and Stephen

think that Grover will ever fill

A negro who murdered another
negro and wounded several others
on Jan. 1, and who had escaped
arrest, committed three other mur
ders in Sumter county on Jan. 7th.
This latest victims were two white
men and a young married woman,
whom he killed in the most bar
berous and fiendish manner. The
murderer has been caught and
6ummarly dealt with.
Of eight persons bitten by a mad
dog iu Baltimore recently four
have since died of hydrophobia,
the last death beirjg that of a boy
who was the first of the victims to
go to New York for the Pasteur
treatment. Those in our county
who have pinned their faith to the
Georgia mad stone will derive sat
isfaction from reading the above
?1 statement.
It is predicted that the great
struggle of the coming four years
for the control of the democratic
party will be between David B.
Hill, who will lead eastern demo
crats, and Will J. Bryan, who
will lead the West and South. The
struggle will be one of titans.
Hill is bold, sayacious and cold
Bryan, brilliant and magnetic,
full of force and fire.
A bridegroom of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y.,not only gave a check for a
large amount lo the minister who
officiated at the ceremony, but dis-w
tributed checks to the organist,
the sexton and the driver of the
carriage that conveyed him and
his bride to and from the church.
The whole town was praising his
liberality, but a day or two after it
was discovered that the checks
wore worthless at the bank.
Farmers in sections of Indiana
rather than feed their horses
through the winter, are killing
them and selling their carcasses
to cairned beef and fertilizer fac
tories.
The dispensary law has been in
troduced into the legislature of
Alabama and South Dakota. The
attorney general of West Virginia
has sent to Carolina for a copy of
her dispensary law. The Colum
bia State thinks the disease is
spreading.
Judge Mciver will succeed him
self as Chief Justice, the election
for which will come off this session
of the Legislature. The indicia that
point to this page of prophecy are
his recent decisions in the Lord
Bond case and the Magistrate ju
risdiction case.
The News and Courier claims
that South Carolina raises more
cotton to the square inch than any
other State, the production being
25 bales per square mile ; in Geor- j
gia 18 bales; in Mississippi 21$
bales; in Alabama 12 3-5 bales ;
in Louisiana 1(H bales, and in
Texas 6 1-6 bales.
There is grave approheueion that
many of our democratic members
in the lower house of congress will
be unseated. That body is con
trolled by republicans, and they
see;n to be bending every "ffort in
this direction. Special reasons
will be and are given for unseat
ing in special cases, but South
Carolina is particularly interested
in that clause of the federal con
stitution which declares that when
in any state the franchise is re
stricted, "except for participation
in reb'Ilion or other crime," the
state's vote for the presidency and
its representation in congress
shall be reduced in proportion to
the number of adult male citizens
debarred from voting. Should
this rule be applied to South Caro
lina we would have only three rep
resentatives iostead of seven, ?md
five electoral votes instead of niue.
DOUBLE MURDER.
Story from Charleston iu Yester
day's Paper Confirmad.
Charleston, S. C., Jan. 7.-The
story of the fatal shooting at
Otranto fifteen miles from here
yesterday does not greatly lessen
its horrors. The inquest began
to-day showed that I. F. Brown
and Stephen Mazyck were shot in
au open boat by John Popenheim
The two men killed had been on
Popenheims land against his
-ardern- Sozse n'&fds rmrerc-|p?DWjd
and two colored withnesses saicf"
that Brown raised up in the. boat
with his gun as if to shoot. Popen
heim shot him. The witness said
lhat as Brown fell into the river
Mazyck moved as if to get up and
reached for his gun, and received
the contents^of Popenheim's second
barrel in his forehead. The in
quest was adjourned in order to
secure other witnesses. Poppen
heira is jin jail and has secured
counsel. Brown's gun was taken
fr >in tho water this afternoon.
It was loaded and both hammers
were at the safety notch.
Public ownership, whenever it
has been given a fair trial, and
has not been opposed by the law
less element of society, has proved
to be a blessing. That is true as
to public ownership of tstreets and
roads, public ownerships of rivers
and harbors' public ownership of
waterworks and electric plants,
and public ownership of postoffices
and dispensaries. Pnblic owner
ship of the liquor traflic has
abolished the social feature of the
barroom, and that is al1 that ever
can be accomplished. It has been
demo8trated that public owner
ship is the summum bonum, the
ne plus ultra of human ?visdim
and ingenuity in the political
world.-J. A. Mette, in Columbia

FIVE PEOPLE KILLED
In Cold Blood byaNegro in Sum
ter County, and Posses are
Out iu Every Direction
Scouring the Country
for Him.
Charleston, S. C., Jan. 7.-A
special to The News and Courier
from Sumter S. C., says :
"All .Sumter was aroused this
morning when the nows flashed
over the wires that Simon Cooper,
a negro, had killed old Mr. Ben
Wilsrsn, his 6on, Wesley, and Mrs.
Wesley Wilson. The first in
timation of the hellish work was
received about breakfast time, and
shortly after Sheriff Pearson re
ceived a telegram confirming the
report, adding further that Cooper
had also killed two negroes-a
man and a girl.
"Sheriff Pearson as soon as
possible organized a posse and
chartering a special train lef't for
Lynchburg. When I he special
reached Mayesville tho sheriff
received information that Cooper
had been seen to pass near the
town, a short, time before, so the
train was stopped at Mayesville
and a part of the posse left for St.
Charles and the others took lue
public road, coming towards Sum
ter. These two parties in conjunc
tion with posses from Mayesville
are securing every foot of the land
between Mayesvil'e and Sumter.
"The facts in regard to this
killing of the five people ns re
ceived in Sumter at 3:30.p. m.,
are as follows:
"Simon Cooper went to Lynch
burg yesterday for the pu J pose of
forcing a young colored girl Jo
marry him. The girl and her
mo'her, by some unknown means,
escaped, and ran into the swam j).
As soon as possible after Cooper's
appearance in the town a posse
organized and went in pursuit of
him, he having left as soon as he
failed to get the girl. The pospe
came withiu two hundred yards of
him, at one time, when he shot at
them and rt treated.
"He forced some negroes to go'
with and kept them with him all
night. He came out of the woods,
about day-light and sent to the
house .of a colored man uartied
Boyle, took his horse and (Com
pelled Boyle'j son to accompany
him. From there he went to the
house of the Wilsons, about a
mile distant, where the horrible
crime was commited.
"Mr. Baker, who lives near! y,
says he heard considerable shoot
ing and saw Mrs. Wilson go to the
buggy house with Cooper to get
harness, and then go back into
the house, Cooper following her,
a short time afterwards, came out
on the piazza shooting in every
direction and forcing Boyle's
boy to harness the horse to Mr.
Wilson's buggy. He meet a
colored man named Smith and
killed him, as he passed Baker's
house he shot at Baker's children.
"Where he went from there no
one knows, but he will be found
Hundreds of brave, determined
men are scouring the woods iu all
directions aud speedy vengeance
will be meted out to this human
fiend.
"When the bodies of Wilsons
were found this morning the old
genteman, 75 years old, was sitting
up in the bed with a shot gun in
his hand, the son, Wesley, was in
another bed with his head split,
while on the floor lay the women,
her head smashed in and her
thrjat cut, Smith, the negro who
was killed on the road, was found
with an axe still in the back of his
neck and hi J head half severed
from his body.
"The dead people were in
offensive, peaceable citizens. These
are the fact6 as we wore able to
gather thom from the excited and
determined men from Lynchburg,
who came into this city this after
noon."
COOPER CAPTURED.
Promptly Hanged to the Limb of
a Sweet Gum Tree.
Sumter. S. C. Jan. 8.-Ever since
tho news reached here of Cooper's
murders at Lynchburg the peo
ple have been active. The chase
was kept up with unabated ardor
all of last night. About 8 oclock
last night a telegram waa received
from Mayesville saying thatCoop
per had been seen on tho streets
of that town, going in the direc
tion of Magnolia, ll?' openly
avowed that ho was going there to
kill Capt. D. E. K>e!s, Dr. 0. A.
Darby and sev-rl others, conse
quently everybody was looking for
him in that section. This, how
ever, proved incorrect.
Before daylight Sheriff Pierson,
who was indisposed, sent word to
? I
Deputy Sheriff Gailard to take
posse and go capturo Cooper. Th
deputy summoned a posse <
about ten picked nm armed wit
niles and went to the house, su
rouding it. As soou as daylig
came Cooper was on the alert, ai
began to move about the hou
He lost no time in finding o
that his whereabouts were know
The men on guard saw th
reinforcements were naeded an
hurriedly sent a courier to Sur
ter for men and ammuitiou. Bi
fore 10 o'clock about 100 men, we
armed, had surrouuded the pla<
completely and had station*
themselves behind neighbors
negro houses and any other avai
able cover that could be found.
Cooper kept up a sharp fire i
every direction. The posso ri
turned the fire in hope that 1
might be shot between the h*gs (
the house.
Sheriff Pierson had meanwhi1
reached the scene. He saw tbf
the negro, being armed ad he wa
could hold his men at bay, and
they made any movement wit hi
range they would be shot down, s
he returned to the city to secur
bullet proof shields and keros?n
preparatory to burning the hut.
The crowd after firing throug
thc house a few times heard Coot,
er calling for a parley. He calle
for C. W. Stansill, whom he evi
dently saw. Mr. Stansill calli
Cooper and asked if he knew wh
he was talking to. Cooper ac
swered, '"Yes," and asked Mr. Star
sill to come up to tho house au
have a talk with him. Mr. Stau
sill refused to do so, but toll
Cooper he had better come ou
audgive up. Cooper asked if h
would be killed. He wa3 told tba
if he would take off his cloth"
and come out with hie hands ove
his head he would not be hurt. H
at first refused with the most nor
rible oaths and swore he wou!<
"die and go 11 hell rather tiian di
it."
Exactly why Cooper did it ni
ono will ever know, bul leaving h i
rifle inside tho house, he, after ;
short time, opened the door am
walked oui into the yard. He ha?
no* dives {.ed himself of his cloth
ing lie was immediately coven-*
by th" men with shotguns nm
rifles. Mr. Stansill walked up t<
him. He wore a ;>:iir of checke?
trousers, an overall jacket over i
!i-- ;:t white shirt and had a sil!
handkerchief around his neck
Mr. Stansill took him by the arm
About that time the mein! ers o
the pjsse chise l about him am
began to crowd pretty close. 'Al
in a moment the negro flew into >
perfect passion Ile made severa
attempisto draw his pistol, bal
peremptory orders to raise hit
hand prevented that. Then hit
person was searched, the murderei
raving and cursing violently al
the time. A loaded pistol and tw<
razors, one clotted with humai
blood, were taken from him. Hi
cursed one of the pesse very vio
leutly. This mau told Cooper no
to curse him. He instantly be
came more vinlpuf hbi?- JIW. Jc\X
iLg aside and hurling forth mofe
dreadful oaths he started at the
man, exclaiming: "G-d-n you,
I will kill you." Ab mt that time
the deputy sheriff struck him ou
the head with the barrel of his
rifle, lt seemed to have no effect
upon him. In a few seconds great
excitement prevailing, sjme one
shot him in the head with a pistol.
This did not seem to hurt him
either. The men appeared to ba
greatly wrought up, Tho man who
nhot him said the negro had nar
rowly mis>ed him during the
morning about twenty-five times.
Some of the posse condemned this
act and there was general confu
sion, during which another man
took deliberate aim with a rifle
and shot the murderer in the back
of the head, the bullet coining out
of the right cheek between the
teeth and making a very ugly
wound. The negro fell to the
ground without a groan an.l was to
all appearances dead.
About this time the crowd
around the posse began to' cry
"burn him," "lynch him," "burn
him," and ?o on. Some one in the
crowd got a trace chain and at
tempted to put it around his neck.
He forced his way up aud was
about to accomplish his purnoo,
while the negro cursed everybq^L
This was prevented by DepuqJ
Sheriff Gaillard, Messrs. H. L?
Scarborough and L. I. Parrott of
the sheriff's posses and several
others who begged the men not to
do that.
1 hen the posse decided to carry
the wounded fiend on to Sumter. A
one-horse wagon was secured and
an improvised body was made.
Cooper was seized by his hands and
feet and pitched into the wagon on
his face.
On reoching a small branch in
what is known as the Green swamp
the men who were accompanying
the oilicers declared that they
would not carry the negro any
further and some attempted to
shoot him. Still he showed no
fear. Deputy Gaillard knocked
the guns up and exclaimed: "For
God's sake mon, don't do this." In
less timi! than it takes to tell if,
several men seized the deputy
sheriff and held him. The time of
the wounded murderer had come.
The officer^ were powerless to do
anything, Som" pleaded, "Hang
him, but don't hoot him." In the
meantime, the wag in had been cut
loose from tho surrey, which was
driven ahead. Thoie were about
100 nv n in tin crowd. The rope
which had been tl raw mg the wa
gon was cut loose and put around
tho negro's neck. This was about
three miles from Sumter.
Cooper was jerked out of he
wagon, and said as he fell to the
ground: "I give up." Half a
dozen men had hold of th" rope,
ll", a? iie had often done before,
cursed them and himself, as he
turned over on his fase and drew
np li : s legs, li" mad" no attempt
lo move his minds.
Tiie men dragged him by the
rope around hi* neck a few yards
to a iweet gum tree. It was a small
tree, but oue of the men climbed
up. The others lifted the body of
the murderer and the mau above
tied the roDe. When the body was
let down it was found that the feet
touched thegrouud. It was there
fore necessary to lift him and tie
the rope again. This time the
body swung two feet clear ot' 'he
ground. His face was turned to
the swamp and his back was to the
road. His last words were curses
At first he didn't move a muscle
and was thought to be dead.
The men then drew off to one
side of the read and fired first one
by one, the bodv swaying as the
bullets hit it. At the first fire
Cooper jerked his le't arm up about
his breast. The firing be ame gen
eral aud indiscriminate ; in b, few
moments the body was riddled.
