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. H.

ti? each immhfr who voted forth* <

expressed vnch regrets. 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

Important Opinions
Concerning Maoist t aies, -cbool
Trustee* and Medical Graduates.
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

Tillman says that McLaurin
rill not poll 10,000 rotes in

wreck lhat has happened en the < \
Seaboard since its extension to I
Columbia occurred Inst night near '
Patrick, 10 miles south of this
place. 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. \

Shortly after 9:30 NonUtorni 1

death chamber. 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

Assistant Attorney General Matt

lis conviction and legal execution
was a foregone conclusion. 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
