After a prompt reply from the governor the sheriff, accompanied i>y the Leo Light Infantry, -42 strong, left on a special train for Lowrysville. They did not tind a iurge crowd as was expected and no d e m o n s t r a t i o n whatever was made. It seems that some time in the early morning Jim Montgomery, a hurly young nogio, wont to the house of Mrs. Neely Smith, a highly respected and aged widow, presented a pistol and declared that if an alarm was made he would shoot. Mis. Smith's granddaughter, the only other occupant of the house, did not hear the threat, hut ran and called neighbors anil the intruder ran off. The negro was tracked ^and caught about dark. lie was lock-* cd up in a store and surrounded by armed men. When the sheriff reached the scene he met with no Resistance whatever in claiming his prisoner and the special tram returned hero at 12 o'clock The negro was confined in jail and will be held for trial at the next term of court. ' A. M A. SENSATIONAL ARREST IN OCONEE. Walhulla,May 4.?Hoyt II ay os was committed to juil here today charged with the murder of his wife, who was instantly killed on the morning of Aprl 20. John E.

It was currently reported that Mrs. Hayes had committed suicide and had left a note saying why sho hud dono so. The arrest of young llaycs has caused a great deal^of excitement in the Return community where all the persons live The parents of both Mr. and Mrs. Hayes aro prominent families. * KILLED lltf A roI.ICE OKFiCKK.

As voon as one of the policemen opened the door all ran out tho other door and the police began shooting, hitting two of tho men, killing one, Columbus Jay, who came hero from Aiken some time ago. Tho negro was ihot in tho hack, about two niches below the spinal column, and the hull was cut out about eight inches K?l ?L u ;n?w urn rigni nipple. Jay told Sorgomt Austcllo ho did no' Un >'.v who "hot him, but Arthur Sorter, a nogro, said he saw O'Shiolds ahoot live timet". The inquest was started yesterday but on account of life absence of some witnesses was pnstponeTl until 2 o'clock today. After staying out a short while tins jury rendered u verdict that the deceased came to bis death by a gun . ? Ni shot at the hands of William O'Shiclds. ta w- or KATAl. RUNAWAY ACVIDl'NT. s>; Kilorce, May G.?Mr. Morgan Shumakor, an im<;d citizen who ' o mi lives about three miles west of <p this place, was thrown from his j buggy and killed Monlay after* noon. Mr. Shuniuker was enterin^r Kllorec when Ins horse took ttji fright from 1 he train, which was making oIf from tho depot. The animal was going at a rapid speed and in turning a coiner the bug- ^ gy was upset throwing Mr. Shu- ^ aiakcr with Ins whole weight on his face. IMj AMItUSlIKI) AM) SKKIOI SI.Y SHOT. w Lastover, May (5.?Yesterday n evening while going toward his tl) homo riding a mule, just after lii dark, <Carolina Jones, one of the III; staunchcst colored men of this j w section, was shot from ambush! pi near Ins house, about threo miles ri south of Ivistovcr. The weapon m used by the wculd-he assTtssin was d< a shot gun loaded with No. 7 shot, the load taking effect in Jones' c( I : ek and face. Dr. Rivers was ti immediately telephoned for and reports that .Jones is seriously d wounded and that it may prove tl fatal. Jones, who has ample (1 means, at once telephoned Sheriff S Coleman to send bloodhounds to p ] the senile of the shooting and they hi ! arrived over tho Atlantic Coast P Line at 8 o'clock this morning in m charge of Mr. Cathcart. si The hounds trailed Jones* own rn sons to liis ^Carolina's) house cc where n gun was found with one vc empty chamber apparently just ih shot. From all that can be gath- 01 cred it seems that three of his sti own sons did the shooting. njj A Story Of Bismark. re of \\ hen a young man, Hisniark th had a quasi connection with the y< profession of journalism, for he st was for <piite a time an ofliciul reporter for one of the courts of ti< justice. In those days his teni- C( per sometimes got the better of m him, Irut upon one occasion at jn least his wit saved him from d:s- hc grace. This was when, question- ct ing a witness, the latter made an ti impudent retort, where upon Bismark exclaimed angrily: w you are not mote respect- t, ful, I .shall kick you out of the ct room." ol "Young man," said the judge, interrupting the proceedings, "I ni would have you understand that t( this is a dignified court of justice js and that if there is any kicking >; to ho done tin court will do j, it." "Aha, you seid"' said llismarck f, to the witness. "If you are not |> more respectful to me, the court tl will kick you out of the room.

His numbered n icstions are printed separately j, slow in order that the answer ^ ay immediately follow each of cm for the convenience of the ^ adcr: 4 1. Why do you characterize c, 'hasty' the 'policy which inves- ^ d the emancipated males of frican descent with the full right ^ suffrage?"' (j Because that seems to bo the ^ i>ht word for the s.idden and )( holesalc extension of the still- ^ igo, less than four years after io end of the civil war, to milnns of people whoso capacity for io responsibilities of the ballot its untried then, exceedingly roblematical in view of raco chaletcristies, and by a generation's cperienco since then absolutely ^ anonstrutcd not. to lime pvi-.tod " '2.

Those are some of tlie P mseipienccs of which the adjee- ,l ve direful is mildly descriptive. '15. Would 'the boy of 15 or tlie uui in 01 ow ever ne caned upon i boar arms in defence of the Hinti y as the emancipated males f African descent have been?" Probably not.

Was tho recent decision f tho Supremo Court, to which lere is reference in your editorI, a unnnimous decision? Wo ngbt easily draw the inference om the reference that it wus." t he declination of the Supremo ourt to interfere for the enforcelent of the fifteenth amendment 1 Alabama was not a unanimous ecu-ion. Few furreaching dcciotis of that tribunal are unaniious. Three justices, Harlan, irewer and llrown, dissented in 10 Alabama case. " Why is the system of suf:nge as illustrated in the fifteenth mcudment/impossible of uppliition with safety to the States liiefly concerned?" Because, to put tho unpleasant ict squafely, the experience of a lird of a eentury has shown that nj niwoi. iiM|iuiui |umi or ciovBiion >r the Mack race toward Illness j exercise the sr.tTrago has boon liseogenution. We print our Blooklyn corrcsondent's concluding remar ks: 4k There is much talked and Mutton in these days about the egr.>, ninl by every one but the ogro, but the negro knows the I'aiiehi&j is log d!y his, and, I hoove, he will know what to do hen other Americans so far lieray loyally and degrado honor as ) attempt to legally deprive im of it. The sooner the country lirly and s<pi irely faces the?piesiou the better." There i> no bar to the legal cored ion of a State or national misikc in the matter of the extension f the suffrage in* anv direction lialevor. An educational or rope-ty <pudi(ication that has ocn removed can l?o lei in posed, race extension by the Federal institution can lie withdrawn by 10 same process of constitutional ucndmcnt. That would not ecessarily abolish negro su If rage, l* take away our correspoi^len t's ote. It would leavo each Stato institutionally free to decide tho iiustion for itself. QUICK ARREST J. A.
