UNION TO FIGHT NIGHT RIDERS. The South Carolina Organization Op poses SIKII Lawlessness. Columbia, Sept. 2 4.-The mem bers of the Farmers' Union in this State will be particularly ??"alous and energetic In their efforts to oppress night riding In this State, because Officials of the union ?re not only na turally opposed to violence of this sort, or any other sort, but because they regard acts of violence in this direction as tho work, at least in some sections, of the enemies of the union for the direct purpose of bringing the union into disrepute. With the State administration and the Farmers' Union as an organiza tion firmly determined to prevent the spread of such lawlessness, lt is not likely that this crime will gain any considerable headway, although re ports come In to-day of the Green ville Incident spreading to Gaffney and Spartanburg. In most sections night riding ls not taken seriously, as there ls no fear of the crime spreading to any considerable extent. However, there is always the danger of a few toughs and rowdies here and there doing some damage. The Farmers' Union Sun. the offi cial publication of the State Farm ers' Union, In Its issue this week, will hnve an editorial strongly condemn ing this lawlessness, in which this language will appear: "The. Farmers' Union does not stand for the lawless acts of some fanatical or Ignorant people who are threatening the ginneries of the country. The movement started In Mississippi, and has now made its appearance in Georgia, North Caro lina, and now In Greenville county. The union stands for Mistlce, equity and the Golden Rule. The lawless people who take part In these raids make lt appear that the union is back of this lawlessness. Every county and local union In the State should pass resolutions condemning night riding, and where lt is practiced do all in their power to apprehend the guilty parties and hiing them to jus tice. We can never hope to win our fight by violence." One of the worst features of kid ney trouble ls that lt is an insidious disease and before the vip tim realizes his danger he may have a fatal mal ady.

Fon vi Je, of Green ville, and his tlreman. The train was running at a fair rate of speed one mile south of Well ford, when the open switch was struck, the shock being so great as to send the eugine plunging to ono side, striking the tie ends and turn ing turtle. Under the massive loco motive were buried he engineer and fireman, being inst.ditly crushed to death, their bodies remaining under the mass of steel and iron wreckage for an hour or more. With the engine went ?ia baggage car, which also turned over, the bag gage master sustaining Injuries amounting to a broken leg.

A man reaching Wellford, one mlle from the scene of the disaster, at a late hour last night declared the wreck to be one of the worst he had ever seen. He gave a graphic ac count of the disaster, having been in . one of the renr cars when the engine ; struck the open switch. He declared that the sound of hissing steam and the general aspect of the disaster were most sickening. The dead en gineer and his fireman lay partially concealed under the ponderous en gine, having been probably instantly killed either by the escaping steam o" by being crushed to death beneath the fearful weight. Engineer Fonville was popular among his fellow workmen in the railway colony. He was married and resided with his family at 1206 Bun combe street, Greenville. The name of the dead fireman could not be learned last night. Bean th? j* Ito Kind You Haw Always 8ou?M The "Night Riders'1 Notice. (Greenville News, 2 4th.)

(Savannah Special to News and Cou rier. ) Though his body ls drawn and twisted until he little resembles a man. Dennis Tapley, known to char itable persons as the "Key Ring Doy," has succeeded In producing a black rose through the uso of chemi cals applied to the roots of the bushes. It takes two years to pro duce a black rose on a bush, and be cause the secret of big method of producing the floral anomaly is known to the Key Ring Boy klone freqeuent efforts have been made to rob him. Twice before when his roses were almost matured they have been stolen or destroyed. His secret, how ever, has never been discovered, des pite the analysis made of the dirt about the roots of the stolen bushes. The cripple is married, and he and his wife watch day and night over their roses that are now almost ready for exhibition as perfect. The husband works all day in the square directly In front of the ..City Hall and a block away from it, and at night returns to his house to guard his roses. Last night two white men, well dressed, watched his house until far after midnight. A wagon was backed up to the lane at the rear of the house. Believing that another effort was to be made to rob him Tapley loaded his shotgun and waited, after putting out all the lights in his home. He was soon re warded. One of the men tried to cut a hole through the fence with a hatchet. Tapley, aided by his wife, drew his crooked body to a window, and, aiming at the figure of the man at work on the fence, fired. Both rob bers ran, and lt ls believed one of them carried away some bird shot. Considerable indignation greeted the announcement of the effort to rob the cripple of his two years' work.

Five Negroes Arrested ut Ninety-Six Still l;ch?nd the Bars. Greenwood, Sept. 24.-Seven of the twelve negroes arrested at Nine ty-six on the charge of conspiracy against certain white people there have been released from jail. ' This was done on the recommendation of Solicitor Cooper, who came over Sat urday from Laurens. He recommend ed that a bond of $500 be re quired of them. The negroes found no difficulty In securing white people at Ninety-Six to go on their bonds and they were released. Five are still held here in jail. They have not demanded a prelimi nary, and it is presumed they will remain here until the approaching term of the court of general sessions. They are the ones who were at the so-called executive session of the col ored Odd Fellows, a? stated by the Rev. "Johnny" Dean, the Informer. Odd and amusing tales of Dean's past are coming to light in the devel opment of affairs. He ls still in jail here. He seems to have been a pret ty smooth proposition for a colored citizen for some years past. He still denies that he wrote the letter which he received here ad-, dressed to "Hartle Harris." Copies of his handwriting and the noted Harris letter were taken home by Solicitor Cooper, and he stated that he would have them sent to some handwriting expert. Tho opinion, as before stated, is general that Dean used the time and circumstances fol lowing a disturbed condition to "get even" with some of his own race. Of Interest to Many.
