Newberry Observer. Settle The Question. Mr. VY D Way field, having l?- i n represented us saying in an int'Tview that twelve member# o* the executive cemmttlee who v<??o(t for the McLnurin resolution h-t ' si 'in# expressed regret for the part they hud in it, Mr. D.

Of course t ewh one answered that he had < n,.i. for an Mr. Ilsgill amy* in an- < K\vr to hit own question, to hare an-.vered otherwise would hare I her i "tantamount to an admission ? tha* he win a simpleton." This < question grew out of the surges- I ticn that the inemhars of the com- I inittee were misled and unduly * influenced hy Senator Tillman. < There i? another question which ' casts a reflection on the democratic voters of the state an long a* it, remains unsettled. Senator Til man claims that notwithatnnd- 1 inn all hie expressions a few years ago indicating that he was just J ready to atep over into the popu- | lis' paity, he really had eo such t intention and that it was he that < hold the democracy ef the state { in l'ne and kept them from lear- | inn the party. Many people do i not believe this. If it is true, i Senator Tillman does not get the edit that is due him. If not 11 t rii", the claim is a slander upon h pei pie. < New, since Mr. Magill is in 1 settling business, we suggest i Unit he send out to every demo- 1 . i at in the state?all varieties of 1 democrats?a circular letter like ?hi- ?including a polite introduc- I ti ?n and return pest age: I Did Senator Tillman held you 1 ic line, and would you hare gone i int > the populist party had it not 1 heci for his influence ? i ' -.TonId you have followed him I int?? the populist party if he had 1 gone himself ?" t P.? sides settling this question in the joinie waj that Senator Till- i man himself suggested settling t the question of his influence on I members of the executive commit- | tec >n this] McLaurin resolution , ( uuitt-U', the answers would be ex- t ,ceding!y interesting.?Chester t Lintern.

Three very important opinions vera rendered tod?y by Assistant kttoroey General Gunier. Strip>ed of nil legal phraseology aad {iv'ng thn substance .>f the opinons they are as follows : Magistrate* mu*t make monthly eturns of their business to the proper county officers. It has >eeu th? rule for them to make ettirns every ttaree months, when heir duty was fully performed, ind they may have had some war* ant for doing so, owing to the various statutes on the sunject.? 3ut after considering all the laws, t is the opinion that returns must y made monthly. Another opinion of great inter ist is in reference to school true ees. It has been generally sup* x>sed that they were exempt from oad duty. But according te the ipinion after a research of the itatutes, it is decided that school rustees are liable just like any me elae who is not esneciallv ex irapt. Another opinion Bnally Hetties he law as to the examination of uedical studentH of the South Car>lina Medical College, at Charleson. By law they are exempt from any examination, and the State hoard of examiners bare no control over them in ho far an that natter in concerned. Contractors at ClsmHon. Editor Greenville News : YTilliamston, S. C., Aug. 24.? Seeing Blue Ribon's statement of den Tillman and his pet negro ;ontractors 1 want to say that I tm reliably informed that Tillman jives his colored friends $2 40 jer thousand for laying the brick n the wall on the Clemson College tntiex. Now 1 know a man who would have been glad of the job ir $2 2ft per thousand, and a man whose work is no experiment at Ulemson College,as it is all around there to show for itself. But this man is a white man and 1 am informed that white contractors n?i? not uoucvu. LJ 1 also talked with a man who lias hern to Clemson College 1e hid on the plastering of the uuaex hut found that the negro was to lo the work. This man and a man from Atlanta, Ga., were both unler the negro, so it seems that .here is no use for a white contractor to look for work at Clemiod College. It leoks like South Carolina is n a bad tix?one man te Boss it ind the Slate work has to be dono >y negro labor. Will the white >eople still rote for this man ?? iod grant that at the next elee,ion the pv^ple will vote for a man hat will h$true to his State.? iod gran* that every white man nrlio works tor his living, will do ill they can to put aay man out of illice who will gi"e a negro em*? iloyment rather than give it to vhite men. 1 guess the reason he wants the vestern people to lynch the negroes is may be he thinks if thev vill begin lynching out there that. W C~7 he rest of the negroes will ceme 0 South Carolina, where he can ;ire them work when the State as work to be <lore. Mr. Editor rho is Traitor to this State 4 Brick Layer.

The northbound train, due 1 here at 9:43, while going at about 1 40 miles au hour, ran into a wash- r out caused by the heavy rain yea- \ tenia? afternoon { The engine got across the de- 1 pressien, it is thought, but the c tonder fell in carrying the track with it. Three cars followed, and t | passed beyond the engine dew* j ! the embankment and upside down I j They were badly smashed up. i , The rear coaches turned about ; half over and the last coach reach- t ed the washout, the train having > run its length after striking the t chasm. , j The fireman wr.s killed. The \ ! engineer, Mr. Muse, was badly j bruised, and it is thought received i internal injuries. An extra en- l giueer, who was learning the , road, Mr. T. B. Cleary, had his , leg broken and is dangerously | hurt. Several of the passengers , were bruised, but no one seriously , injured. The express messenger , Miraculously escaped, crawled out * ' of bis smashed up car with his \ gun and did guard duty over his | treasures. , i It took about an hour's diligent , j work to dig the engineer out from , under his engine. The fi'reman , was instantly killed and his body badly mangled. j There is a large culvert at the ] place, but the rains bad under- , mined the track. , Trains passed that point a few , hours earlier, but no defect was noticed. \ (J razed Man Strapped to a Board 1 to he Hanged. 1 i *Seuttle, Wash., Aug. 23.?

He wept continually. It required the utmost efforts of four men te keep him ( on his feet. When he was taken into the dealh chamber he broke . i down entirely, crying in a childish voice, and praying that his life be spared. Then he collapsed ] entirely and fell to the floor. Effoits to raise him and keep him en his feet were fruitless. < Finally Sheriff Cudihee ordered that a board be brought. Te this t Nordstrom was tied. It required j six men to hold hiaa for the operation. Several limes Nordstrom j seemed to speak but his words were unintelligible. r The six men who had held him rained his body on the board and ( with great effort succeeded in get- t ting him upon the scaffold. There he was placed upright whilo four men stood en the four sides of fi the trap and held him. Tn lese j than two second a after the con- t detuned man had been fastened tho trap was sprung.

This tppeal was supplemented by Judge .1. J. Lynch, Capt. W. P. l'nllery, .Jeste M. Littleton, ForLor Ramsey and others. No eooner tnid the appeals been made than leveral hundred citizens from the neighborhood where the crime was committed came up and augmented the crowd to thousands. They swept forward upon the jail, overpowered the aherifT and bis deputies, rescued the prisoner ind started for the scene of the ?rime 12 miles distant at 10:15 a. m. The mob was orderly but determined. It eeemg that the whole population for miles around had turned out to see the fate of the wretch. A procession three miles in length followed the mob to the Williams home. Arriving at a point in sight of the scene of the 2rime, the negro was placed upon i stump and given a chance to make a statement. THE BRUTE LAUGHED. He mounted the stump steadily ind laughed as he began his state*, nent. He saidr ''Tull oil m? dsters and brother* to meet me in glory. I ?m iroing to make that my home. Tell my mother to meet me where parting will be no more." He was then asked i number of questions. Interrogated as to whether or not any >ne else was implicated in the *rime, Noles stated emphatically here was no one implicated but nmaelf. ' Why did von kill Mrs. Will inns!" was asked. 'I just done that because I hud lothing else to d<>," he replied. He was taken from the stump, arried to a tree eearoy. beund o the tree by chains and his body saturated with oil. At 1:40 p. 11. a match was applied and instantly the quivering body was n flames. Kails were piled about he burning body and soon life vas extinct. The negro made no outcry at ,ny time and died as steadly as a toie. There were mn i?r .J eenes about the burning body. least 6,000 people witnessed he horrible fate of the negro. 4any remained about the body ugmenting the blaze until the >ody was entirely consumed. ?hey then departed for their tomes quietly.
