HAKMAN, Editor and Publisher. Wednesday, July 8,1903. On Recount of the lynching of the negro, Charlie Evans, at Norway, od June 30th, for the murder of Mr. J. T. Phillips, white, who died several days after being shot, the negroes of that vicinity became greatly excited over the incendiary advice of their leaders and threatened to burn and sack the town of Norway. Gov. Heyward was requested by J. L Glover, Intendant, to send troops to protect the town. About 40 minutes after the receipt of the message a ? company of 50 men under the command of Adjutant General Fro9t and his assistant were in Norway guarding the town. Except the gathering nanKftoo tri amall nMO/to n?oo VI uc^i uvo tu omau vty vuui v do demonstration among them and the company returned to Columbia Sunday. Since then five negroes have been arrested and warrants are issued for the arrest of five more. It is said that the situation in Orangeburg county is grave. While the dates for the encampments have been set by the field ofS cere it cannot be said as absolutely certain that the tentsge and other field equipment will be >ent by the war department in time for the troops to get out on tbe days planned. The governor and adjutant general have taken the matter up and have telegraphed and written tbe department urging tbfm to hurry the equipment on and if possible to get it here by July 15. Cotton opened in a whirl of excitement on tbe exchange in New York, July 7. with bears again battering prices. August was the special ob jeefc of attack, that option dropping 49 ooints and sold heavv below. I / ? ? Later tbe bulla rallied and got back some of the loss. August sold at 11.40. We seem to have come upon peculiar times. Not only does death and destruction ride upon the waves and t&e winds, but there is murder and -and lynching and race riot rampant throughout tbe country.?Newberry iHerald and News. "T^e friends of President Roose velfc, are cf the opinion that he made a bad break when he consented to present tbe petition of tbe Jews to the Russian government and are trying to persuade him to with-hold it. S A Chance for a Young L?an.

Evans was arrested here yesterday J ?1 -3 f^rrrr morning auu piaueu iu tuc wnL guard house for safe keepiDg until evidence could be gotten up as to whether or not he was the guilty party. There were also three other negroes arrested and placed in the guard house, John Felder, Pink Hartwell and U. S. Johnson. The guards who were placed in charge of the guard house were overpowered, the door of the guard house battered down arid the negroes takeD out. Evans was lynched and the other negroes were turned loose. Evans was a negro of a very bad character and was to be dreaded in the dark. Last Monday night, about 8:30 o'clock, while Mr. Phillips and family were sitting down to their supper table, some one from the outside soot through the window with a gun heavily loaded with buckshot, three of which took effect in Mr. Phillies "" ~ " A. shoulders, oDe bullet goiBg through bis luDgs and two in his head penetrating th^ brain and mortally wounding him. He i& still living, but there is no possible hope of his recovery. One shot Btruck his 9-year eld daughter on the forehead, causing a painful but not serious flesh wound.

"The sight of a bottle of rod ink o was enough to upset her for a week.'"' he said. "On one occasion we were b playing a farce called 'Tike Lady and t) the DevlL' An important scene of it ti was when she was sitting at a table preparatory to writing a hotter.

'Is this the only paper that & we have? Where is the ink?' 'Here, C madam.' And I bent forward to place the ink within l*er reach, wlien, in my confusion at her reproof the vessel was upset and its contents trickled r on to the lap of her satin dress. The D ink was blood red. I sluall never for- j get the ghastly look that overspread , her face, and I was so frightened that I never knew how the scene ended. ''The next morning at relrenrsal she told me I was doomed to ill luck for the remainder of my days. She called the company together and gave them a detailed description of the 'awful scene' tin? night before occasioned by the young man who woukl never nxak? an actor. She told of a terrible dFeara she had had in which some great person had been foully murdered l>efoFe her eyes; how she had attempted rescue without avail; how he had fallen dead at her feet and bow his blood slowly oozed into her iap. It was two years after this that Miss Iveene was playing at Ford's i heater. Washington, on the occasion when Abraham Lincoln was shot. Miss Keene was the only person who seemed to realize the situation. She ran to the box, and in a moment the head of the dying man was in her lap, while the sceiv? of her dream was being pitifully enacted."? Argona-ut. THE TOO EARLY BJrftD.
