A lynching was narrowly averted in .Norcross, Ga., when Harry Rogers, the negro slayer of Cleve Wofford, a white farmer, was rushed from Nor cross to Atlanta for safekeeping. A big touring car containing the negro covered up and lying down in the ton neau, drove swiftly through a mot of 100 incensed citizens of Xorcross, Ca., and the surrounding vicinity, who were never aware that their intended victim was being carried away. When lt was authentically learned that the black was 19 miles from Xcrcross, the mob quietly dispersed. About 100 members of the North Side mission of the Broadway Baptist church, New York city, celebrated the fourth of July by erecting a house ol worship in which a service was held the same night. The material was assembled on the ground the day be fore the fourth, and on the morning of the fourth the members began the construction at 5:30 o'clock. At ? o'clock the building was completed, and the electric lights were turned cn at 7:30 o'clock. The building will seat 300 people. A cutter which has just arrived here from Rosehaven, Hamerfest, Norway, reports tha, the Norwegian steamer Eclipse has foundered off Ice land. The steamer had fifty-six per sons on board. Eight persona were drowned in Michigan waters seking relief from the heat. Two persons were prostrated by the excessive heat at Toledo, Ohio.

Woodruff, who has developed a penchant for aeroplaning, flew again with Aviator Sopwith, this time ever Mine?la and Westbury at an altitude of 1,500 feet. Michael Brennan, one of the best known men about town in Birming ham, was shot and fatally injured in a place on Avenue E, by an unknown person. Four bullets took effect. Con siderable mystery surrounds the affair and tne police did not learn of Hie shooting until some time after the prime occurred. President Taft put the parting; touch on his part in the celebration of this city's "safe and sane'' fourth in a speech on Canadian reciprocity at the Marion club banquet at Imiian 1 apolis, Ind. The president made his answer to the argument of other Re publicans that reciprocity, as he bas proposed it, is not good Republican doctrine, but Democratic doctrine. He showed that reciprocity, as present ed to congress by him differed, if at all, only slightly from reclrpocity as advocated by James G. Blaine and former President McKinley. He de clared that the contention of the oppo nents of his reciprocity plan that the doctrine is un-Republican because it affects articles that are competitive and not merely non-competitive arti? cles as not sound. "The sound Re publican doctrine," said the president, "has become the imposition of duties only where the conditions are natural? ly unequal and where duties are nec essary in order to enable our manu facturers and other producers to meet on a level the competition of foreign producers. The Canadian reciprocity agreement which has been made, squares exactly with this doctrine." Pope Pius X, in an autograph let ter received by the apostolic dele gate to Washington, applauds the lead taken by the United States in the world-wide campaign for international peace. Although the pontiff does not mention President Taft specifically b name, a copy of the letter was for warded to the white house. It is ex pected that the president, because of his well-known peace views, will re ply to the cordial sentiments of tho ruler of the church. While running thirty-five miles an hour an automobile crashed into a tree on the White Bluff road three miles from Savannah, seriously injur ing J. 0. Harris, who was driving the car and slightly hurting Perry Keller and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wagner.

Evans, former com mander of the United Confederate Veterans, and member of the prison commission of Georgia, died at four forty o'clock Suuday afternoon at his residence, 167 Capitol avenue, in At lanta. His end was a quiet and peace ful one, with the members of his fam ily at his bedside. Although his con dition had been desperate for some time, his passing comes as a chock to hundreds, for his brave fight for life had aroused high hopes of a possible recovery. General Evans had been in poor health for several years, re sulting from a severe attack of the grip in 1909. Much of th? time, since that sicknes he had been unable to leave his home. Governor Smith will issue an order on the death of. Gen eral Evans, closing the capitol for the funeral. Approximately 900,000,000 envelopes will be required to supply the govern ment during the coming four years, and Postmaster General Hitchcock awarded the contracts for them, the cost being $630,5:22, a saving of $156, 326, as compared with the contract prices of the past four years.

The fortifications guarding the cit? ies of New York and other important centers of population on the seaboard are considered invincible by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army. He believes the great guns of the fortifications could destroy any fleets that might be sent against them. His views have been submitted to the house committee of expenditures in the war department. In th eevent of an invasion General Wood believes the largest cities would the the scene of fighting. That the Insurgent Republican sen ators will not be satisfied with the passage of only the wool revision and free list bill, after the final disposi tion of the Canadian reciprocity bill, but will demand other tariff legisla tion, was indicated in a statement by Senator Bristow of Kansas. .Mr. Bris tow has had a number of conferences with other Insurgents regarding their program. He ^aid he would never consent to the adjournment of con gress until duties are reduced on I "trust" controlled products. It ls the belief of Benton McMillan of Tennessee, for twenty years a lead er among the Democrats in congress, that the party will sweep the nation next year and take possession of ev? ery branch of the Federal government. Mr. McMillan has been in Washing ton for the past week, and has con ferred with Democratic leaders in both the senate and house. "I was an elec tor o? the Tilden ticket," said Gov ernor McMillan, "and I have partici pated in every campaign from then till now, but the party has not been in better shape for a great many years."

Gunn, appointed bishop of Natchez, as pastor of the Sacred Heart church. Likewise that Father John E. Gui?an, formerly of Atlanta, and now president of the Marist col lege at Salt Lake City, had been nam ed as his assistant. Father Rapier, however, has himself stated publicly that the report is by no means cer tain. In his opinion Father Gui?an will be appointed next pastor. Former insurrecto soldiers number President Jara or Paraguay, who, a few months ago, seized the presidency :hrough a bloodless revolution, has now assumed a dictatorship, and de bared martial law throughout the re public, according to a report received t the state department at Washing 'on.

V/HAT SUPREME COURT SAYS Farris Case From Spartanburg, Re versed, Hunter Case, From Laurens, Affirmed-States When Increased Punishment is Applied. Columbia.-The Supreme Court laid down the law that in order for the increase in punishment for subsequent oifences under the Prohibition Act of 1!'09 the defendant must have been previously convicted under the same Act and not, for instance, in the City Courts in any towns of the state. The ruling came up in a case from Spar t? nburg. The Supreme Court also de cided other points of interest under tho sama statute. The Supreme Court handed down two decisions on the liquor laws of South Carolina. Tho two cases are: The State vs J. R. Parris, Spartanburg County. Re versed. The State vs Green Hunter, Laurens County. Affirmed. This makes three decisions the Supreme Court has handed down in the last few days on the whiskey question. The Supreme Court says, in part: "This view is in harmony with the greater number of cases decided in other jurisdictions. "But the contrary rule was estab lished in this state in Smith's case, S Rich. 460, where the court held that the indictment need not state wheth er it is for the first or second of fence, though the second offence in that case was punishable with death, while the first offence was punishable only with whipping. To the same ef fect is the case of State vs. Allen, 8 Rich. 448. We think, therefore, that the motion should have been granted. "There was some testimony tend ing to support the verdict. There was therefore no error in refusing the motion for a new trial on the ground of an entire absence of evi dence to sustain the verdict. Re versed." This opinion was by D. E. Hydrick, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Robert Aldrich presided at the term of Court at which this case came up. A $100,000 Suit is Filed. A $100,000 damage suit was filed here. The case grows out of the death. of Walter R. English, a line man, here on April 28. This is not the recent case where a mill worker was killed on a pole while louking at the ball game, but English was reg ularly employed'by the Western Union Telegraph Company, according to the papers filed. The suit is brought by Clara J. English, as administratrix of the estate of Walter R. English, against the Columbia Railway, Gas and Electric Company, and the Western Union Telegraph Company. English was killed near the Seaboard depot here. The complaint alleges that the Western Union did not furnish a safe place for the linemen to work. The allegation against the street railway company is that it strung its wires dangerously near the iron braces on the telegraph company's pole. The general allegations of carelessness and wantonness are in the complaint. Various other allegations are named in the complaint, including the fail ure to properly insulate the wires, etc. Wherefor $100.000 is asked, be ing ene of the largest suits In the state. Township Boards Are Restrained. Judge George W. Gage at Walter boro issued a temporary injunction restraining the township commission ers of Bluffton, Yemassee and Shel don township from exercising the functions of their office. The com missioners were ordered to show cause at Beaufort on September 4 wliy the injunction should not be made permanent. Trustees Are Elected at Meeting. At a special mass meeting of the tax payers of special district No. 26, comprising the city of Orangeburg, the trustees of the graded schools of this district were elected.

While in Spartanburg Governor Blease visited in the county jail Joe tates, the former Spartanburg police officer, under sentence to be hanged on July 12. The governor has recent ly been asked to commute Bates' sen tence to life mprisonment and the belief is here he will do BO. Bates has been sentenced to hang on three different occasions, but each time his attorney's have succeeded in having the sentence stayed. A commission was appointed recently to pass upon Bates' sanity. Had No Cases For the Board. The governor informed the mem bers of the state board of pardons that he had no cases for considera tion. The board met as required by law. Immediate adjournment was taken. The governor is deciding all pardon cases independent of the board and clemency has already been ex-, tended in over 170 cases. ; The members of the board of par dons are W. A. Savage. Walterboro;.

I THIS STATE IN LEAD THESE INTERESTING STATISTICS HAVE BEEr. PREPARED BY WATSON. BRINGS MORE MONEY SOUTH South Carolina Ranks Second of All the States In Value of Crops Per Square Mile-Value of Crops of Other States Less Than $3,000. Columbia.-Some interesting statis tics on tlie agricultural situation in South Carolina have been prepared by Commissioner Watson from the re cent federal census. As has been an nounced this state jumped from 21 to 13 points in rank in agriculture. The value of the agricultural pro ducts of the state increased by 28.4 per cent in one year. The value of the crops in 1910 was $140,000,000. which was an increase over 1909 of. $31,000,000; an increase over 1906 of $63,288,000 and an increase of $88, 685,000 over 1910, all of which shows that the value of the crops has increas ed over 100 pe rcent during the past decade. With reference to the value of the crops per square mile South Carolina ranked second of all the states with 34,518. Other states in comparison: Illinois, $5,122; Georgia, $3,743; Texas, $1,369. All other southern states show the value of crops per square mile to be less than $3,000. The cotton crop of the south ac cording to the statistics gleaned for 1910 went on the market for $963, 1S0.000. The crop of 1909 was worth $S12,000,000 and for 1908, $681,230, 0P0. It will be seen that the cotton crop of 1910 was worth $151,000,000 more than 1909. There are in the South 440,000,000 acres of . land available for cotton and only ene out of 12 acres is planted. Of the cot ton crop 19 per cent was consumed in the United States; 49 per cent was ex ported and 35 per cent remained in this country up to February, 1911. Court Defines Drawing of Jury. Columbia.-The judgment of the Lee county court has been affirmed \]?r the supreme court in the case of the state against Lena Smith. The opinion is by Associate Justice Woods. The appeal is from an order of Judge Prince, quashing an indictment for as sault and battery with intent to kill, on the ground that L. A. Morse, clerk of the court of common pleas and general sessions for Lee county, and e::-cfficio one of the jury commis sioners who had drawn the grand jury presenting the indictment, was an uncle of the wife of the prosecu tor. The circuit judge took the po-, sition that it was in the exercise of his discretion that he quashed the in dictment because of the relationship, and he is upheld by the supreme j court. i f lt is Up to the Governor No//. Columbia.-If the governor carries ' cut his announced promise he will | now be forced to pardon every one of the 300 convicts employed in the state penitentiary. He has put his foot down on the hosiery* mill, so to srieak and has. on several occasions, i made the pardon statement. The board of directors have found that it ! will be impossible to abolish the hosiery mill contract Immediately and it is up to the governor to c; ry out j his announced plan. Should ti:e gov- j ernor pardon all of the prisoners ^ow j working in the mill it would not ab..te j the contract. Moreover, he has , charged the mill with being a death ; hole. The records show three deaths from tuberculosis from the mill last : year, but if all of the prisoners were released, according to his ideas, the disease would be spread all over the state. The situation is interesting. Sumter.-Mr. Perry Moses, Sr.. who has for many years been manager of the local plant belonging to the Sou thern Cotton Oil Company, has re signed his position and Mr. A. Cillon Fishburne, who has been bookkeeper and cashier of the company for eight or nine years, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Moses. Serves 7-Year Sentence, Rearrested. . Spartanburg.-James Johnson, alias Edward Murphy, alias Portland Ned, who was released from the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, where he had served 7 years for robbing a post office, was brought to Spartanburg by Sheriff W. J. White and Deputy J. L. Williams and placed in jail to await trial on a charge of house breaking and larceny. It is alleged that on Thanksgiving night, 1902, he and three confederates cracked the safe of the Enoree Manufacturing Company. Urable to Save Man From Drowning. Charleston.-Hearing a splash in the water, a group of men who were standing on the dock in which the United States steamship Atlanta is berthed at the Charleston Navy Yard turned around just in time to see the body of J. F. Roberts, a water-tender at the yard, disappear into the water at the head of the dock. The men sprang to a boat, but by the time the boat had been man ned and the men had reached Roberta, the latter had gone down for the last time. Shoot Well at Sumter. Sumter.-The boys of the Sumter light infantry have been doing some very good shooting at the new rifle range put up here for the use of the second regiment of the national guard. The scores of the five highest in the practice shoot, under orders from Capt. A. E. Legare, are: Capt. Warren 179; Lieut. Brown 135; Sergt. Owens 130; Sergt. Bradford 122; Private Martin 117.

Real flowers make a much prettier decoration for the wedding cake than the ornamentations that confectioners delight in making, out of sugar. A beoutiful spray of snow white roses rested on the top of a homemade bride cake, recently seen at a simple coun try wedding. It was embedded in the frosting and it was a much more artis tic decoration than the expensive love knots and filigree work that are done In sugar. New Negligee. The new combing sack is in the length of a chemise and falls just be low the hip. It is rounded out at the neck, also like a chemise, and has abbreviated kimono sleeves cut all in one, without arm or shoulder seams. These dainty little "Greek" chemises for boudoir wear are made solt flowered crepes of thin silk and of light, thin challis, the object being to have the garment soft and limp, so that it will fall in graceful lines over shoulder, arm and bust. There is no opening in front, the little chemise slipping on over the head. A cord, weighted at the ends with tassels, runs through a casing just below the bust and this is drawn up and knotted at one side when the chemise is put on. Return of the Stud. Studs, with matching sleeve links, ire in vogue again for the tailored shirtwaist. They are to be had in im itation coral, lapis lazuli and jade set In gold and platinum.
