Considerable Discussion Was Engen
dered, But Delegates Favoring the
' Plan Were in the Majority.
Atlanta, Ga., Special.-After a red
hot fight over the question as to
whether the word "request" or "in
struct" should be used in resolutions
favoring the nomination for President
of Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, those favoring instructions won,
and the State Democratic convention,
at a late hour Wednesday afternoon
adopted the following resolutions by a
" vote of 166% to 157%, which was then
made unanimous by the convention:
"Whereas, we believe that Judge Al
ton B. Parker, of New York, is the
choice of an overwhelming majority of
the Democrats of this State as the
Democratic nominee for President,
and, whereas, it is the duty of this
convention to give force and expression
to its wishes,
"Resolved, That the delegates from
Georgia td the national convention
to be held in St Louis be, and they are
^hereby, instructed to cast thevete~of
this State for Judge-Altee^Tparker
^?fpr^Resident, ' soJes^as,r in the opin
-?iqa-of a majSf?ty of tie delegates, there
^^S^re?s?nable probability of his nomi-.
,"'-v nation, and that oh all questions as a
" majority'may determine."
The resolutions as reported to the
convention by the pl?tform and reso
. blutions committee were identical with
""those adopted, with the'exception that
the word "request" was used in place
of "instruct." It was on a motion to
- strike out "request" and substitute
; "instruct" that the only bitter fight of
. " the convention was witnessed.

Bryan Leads N; bra ?ka Delegates.
Omaha, Neb., Special.-The-Nebras
ka Democratic State Convention unan
imously selected W. J. Bryan to head
the delegation to the national gather
ing at St. Louis, and adopted^a plat
form which re-affirms the Kansas City
Platform of 1900, and places before the
public Mr. Bryan's views of what
should be embodied in the platform of
the coming national convention. Mr.
Bryan was himself chairman of the
committee on resolutions, and wrote
the-platform. He had associated with
men who have been his most loyal
supporters. There was no opposition to
the adoption of the platform as read,
although one delegate attempted to se
cure the adoption of an additional
plank pledging Nebraska Democracy to
support the nominees of the St. Louis
convention, regardless of whom they
might be. He. was ruled out of order,
however, after^the reading his resolu
tion. The delegation is uninstructed,
hut is pledged to the unit rule. A reso
lution expressing confidence in Mr.
Bryan and commending his "splendid
efforts to prevent the national organi
zation from falling under the baneful ?
control of the enemies of the real De
mocracy" waa unanimously adopted.

FIVE KILLED SINCE THURSDAY
A Planter and his Manager Attacked
In their Store and Killed by Two
Negroes, One of Whom was Taken
From Jail and Lynched and . the
Other Shot Down While Attempting
A Second Murder.
Greenville, Miss., Special.-As the re
sult of a fight which occurred on the
Sims & Williams plantation at Trail
Lake, Miss., thirty miles east of here,
Thursday night, John Sims and his
manager, named Cato, were killed by
uegroes, and three of the negroes have
been killed also. The country is in a
state of intense excitement, and it is
feared further trouble may ensue be
tween the whites and blacks.
The slaughter started about 10
o'clock, when Sims and Cato were shot
down in their store by a negro named
Sam Clark. Sims was engaged in check
ing up his cash, when Clark came in.
Defore he could make any kind of move
Clark raisad a Winchester and fired,
the shot taking effect, first in the back,
and then breaking the collar-bone. He
died instantly.
Clark immediately turned on Cato,
the manager, who was in another part
of the store, and shot him in the right
side, the ball coming out on the left
side. Cato staggared out to the back
of the store, and as he reached the. door
a negro convict guard named Van
Horn, who was in waiting, struck him
over the head with a rifle. Cato died
al, 7 o'clock this morning, and the phy
sician gives it as his opinion that the
blow over the head caused his death.
News of the tragedy was immediate
ly sent to Greenville, and Sheriff John
Crouch, with a posse, went to the
scene.
The negroes, Van Horn and Clark,
had made their escape before the posse
?rrival, but the trial of Van Horn was
found and he was tracked about a
quarter of a mile into the woods. Here
another negro convict guard named
Mayfield interfered with the posse, and
he was shot down in his tracks.
Van Horn was captured and taken to
Leland, fourteen miles distant, where
he was placed in jail. He remained in
jail all night under a strong guard, and
at 8:30 o'clock Friday morning he was
taken out and lynched by a mob.
While the sheriff and posse were
busy with Van Horn the other negro,
Sam Clark, returned to the Sims store
l^wj?fe-t?c intention, it is supposed, ot
killing Buck Williams the other-paf?^~
ner; the bo'Qk-keepej^,-fiff&ed Crow,
who was also \aV"work and ethers.
Crow, however, after the previous
shooting, had armed himself and a
negro who worked about the place
named Aaron Fuller. When Clark
made his appearance he was shot and
killed by both Crow and Fuller. It
is believed at Trg.il Lake that, the
shooting is the outcome of a meeting
held In the vicinity of Trail Lake by
a negro secret society, and that the
negroes^ involved were picked out to
do the killing.
American Champion Wins.
London, Special.-In the first round
of the amateur golf championship con
test at Sandwich, Walter J. Travis, the
American champion, beat H. H. Hil
ton, the former British champion by
five up and four to play, thus reaching
the semi-finals. Travis and E. D. Black
wall will meet in the final tomorrow.
Cyclone Does Damage.
Omaha, Neb., Special-Reports from
Tekamah, which was struck Thursday
night by a tornado, indicate that about
twenty persons were injured, some of
them seriously. There were no fatali
ties. The storm wrecked most of the
buildings in its path, which was a block
in width and several blocks long. The
apera house, two general stores and sev
eral residences were destroyed. A high
school commencement rehearsal was in
progress in the opera house when the
storm struck the building, carrying
away the roof and partially wrecking
the walls. A number of pupils were in
jured. The property loss is estimated
! at $50,000.
Relief Project Abandoned
Dallas, Texas, Special.-Hight winds,
accompanied by heavy rains, which
prevailed here all Thursday night,
turned into a tornado about 5 o'clock
Friday morning. The roof of the Wes
tern Union building here was partially
blown away and water poured in, flood
lag the sixth floor and wrecking the
dynamos. In half an hour, however, the
damage done by the Btorm at the plant
was remedied. All wires were tempor
arily down, but later reports received
from the surrounding districts state
that little loss to property occurred.
Lynching in Idaho.
Orangeville, Idaho, Special-T. M.
Myers, who killed George Brownlee and
wounded Wallace Bennett near Crook's
corral three weeks ago, has been taken
from a party of officers near White
Bird and lynched. The lynchers were
masked and outnumbered the officers
tl: ree to one. The officers rode on to
Orangeville. The method of death is
not known. Myers was being taken to
the county jail when the lynching
party overtook the officers.
Two New Fever Cases.
Vera Cruz, Special.-One new case o?
yellow fever has been reported here
and the patient has been isolated. An
other new case is that of a man just
arrived from San Francisco. He also
has been, isolated in the hospital. The
local health authorities continue their
campaign of house-to-house visitation
and disinfection.
Millions in Insurance.
New York, Special-Statistics com
piled by an insurance journal here
show that the American people are
taking out life insurance policies at
the rate of $8,000,000 a day. During the
pnst. year all the companies combined
paid claims aggregating more than
$258.0')0.000. The aggregate payment Lo

A Favorable Week for Cultivation, bul,
- Too Dry for Growth.
The week ending 8 a. m., May 30th,
had a mean temperature of 7 degrees
which is 2.above normal, due to higher
day and night temperatures. The *vc
tremes were a maximum of 96 at
Blackville on the 28th, and a minimum
of 52 at Greenville on the 24th. There
was an excess of bright sunshine, and
the winds were generally light to fresh
and westerly during the . first, part,
southerly during the middle, and east
erly at the clost? of the week. The
relative humidity was exceedingly low
during*the greater part.
Light rains occurred on the 27th over
the eastern, parts, amounting to
slightly more than a trace at a few
places only, and copious showers dur

Edgefield, Saluda, Laurens, Union and
Spartahburg counties, the amounts
ranging from trace to over an inch.
This rain occurred after the correspon

Aged Lady Attacked.
Manning, Special.-A negro about 13
years old by the name of Eddie Nelson
was committed to jail Saturday for
committing a murderous assault with
a pine stick upon Mrs. Setzer, an aged
white lady who lives on the edge ol
town. Mrs. Setzer was out in her little
corn field near a piece of woods back of
the house replanting corn, when this
young negro slipped out of the woods
and up behind her, striking her a se
vere blow on the head with the stick
which he had broken ii) the woods. Mrs,
Setzer was knocked almost senseless,
but she recognized him sufficiently well
as he ran to describe him, and this boy,
answering: the description almost ex
actly, was caught at a house near by,
about a half hour afterwards, A sman
boy also says that he saw thbi boy run
ning in the woods. This piece of woods
is a favorite rendezvous for card play
ing negroes, and it is supposed this
young chap had a motive of revenge
against the old lady for reporting that
negroes played cards there. It is not
supposed that hehad worse intentions,
as "ne ran as soon as he struck 1 the
blow.
/lust Fife Pledges.
Gen Willie Jones. State chairman,
calls attention to the prospe:tive can
didates to the fact hat the campaign
incident to the Democratic primary
will commence officially on the 21st of
June. All entries must be sent to him
by noon of the 20th or the aspirante
will not be ltglble. This rule will be j
adhered to strictly. The pledges to
abide by the result of the primary must
he sent to him on the day najned. The
candidates for State'offices, for solici
tor and for Congress come under thl?
rule.
Mayoral Privilege.
A curious privilege attaches to the
office of mayor of Limerick. From
time immemorial the mayor has
claimed the right to a quarter of a
ton of coal out of every cargo import
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trib
ute, and a test case wis taken to the
tocal quarter sessions. , The magis
trates decided in favor of the mayor.
That official receives over 100 tons of
coal from this source every year and
distributes it among the poor of the
town, although there is no legal rea
son why he should not use it for his
own private purposes.
Cost of Hauling Freight.
The cost of hauling a ton of freight
a mlle on Great Britain's greatest rail
way ls 1.45 cents; on the Pennsylvania,
forty cents, and on the New York Cen.
tral, forty-one cents.
