W P CA8KEY Lady Commissioners To The Exposition. Mrs. Hicklin and Miss Uibbes Will Represent South Carolina?Selected by Votes of The State's Readers. The State, 3rd inst. The people of South Carolina havo selected their lady commissioners to the St. Louis exposition. ' They ure Mrs. F. M. Hicklin of Bascomvillo and Miss Jennie G. Gibbes of Columbia. Mrs. Hicklin received 30,944 and Miss Gibbos received 25,266 votes. The next nearest competitor i a\ * ?yna ?uvcrtii luouBuna votes nehind. I It will be remembered that in the first of May The State announced that only two States in the union were not officially represented at the St. Louis exposition, and it offered to furnish the railroad tickets, the Pullman fares and $40 for expenses for each of the two lady commissioners if the people of South Carolina would name ihtfin. Tue exposition authorities are to furnish the commissions and the passes to the exposition grounds. The voting contest has continued with vigor ever since, and among the friends of the leading competitors it was a chief matter of interest all the while. MT?8T PflPHT in - This contest completely overshadowed the contest for the most popular teacher and most popular minister, so much so that no interest was taken in the latter. As a matter of fact no votes were sent in for the most popular minister and very few for the most popular teacher. The teacher who received the highest number of votes was Mrs. Ellen Stanley Watkins of Columbia. She is to receive a round trip railroad ticket and $40 for incidental expenses. tieyward After the Lynchers. Special to The Greenville News. Columbia, July 1.?Gov.

Will Jones as ^ ho calls himself, u hideous looking black monster, is now safe behind the bars of the Saluda-jail charged . jt with the crime that white peoplel^ will not tolerate and for which . fr quick vengeance is usually meted j out. The story of his crime is ^ short and nothing but cooler conn sel prevailing has averted a lynch ing in the last 24 hours. ? en On Thursday night a noise was j hoard on the door of a 100111 of (j; the house of Mr. Warron Kirk- ^ land, a highly respected citizen of ^ this county living near Richardsonvillo, occupied as a bedroom by his youngest daughter, now about 18 or 20 yoars of age. The young woman was awakened and ran to her father's room and reported that some one was at her room door. The old gentle- in? man sprang out of bed and rushing out discovered the form of a olnJi ... .tuouug uuiu iuu aarKDOHS. Five weeks ago he employed Will t n Jones to work for him and he was impressed at once with the 10semblance between the negro ran- ^ll i ing away from the bouse and the a stranger whom he had had in his employ for a short time. ha Next day Mr. Kirk land determined to boldly confront Jones (^? and charge him with the offense. pc At first he bitterly denied any ^ knowledge of it but at last made e8< a confession and also stated that cr>1 this was not the first time he had gone to the place for the purpose 00 of entering the young lady's room, an but his heart heretofore had failed i_ ' a t I mm and no went away without making nny noise. P? The noighbors wore soon ap^ prised of this statement and the Jo negro was carried off into the wr woods and kept there through inj most of the day. The question of ? . killing him on the spot was fully debated, but as stated above. ?r, cooler counsel pievailod and thus trc Saluda was saved the disgrace of pl< a lynching.
