Several months ago a man who resides in the county purchased a burial outfit, consisting of a black I suit and white gloves from a local i clothier, the 1 purchaser stating that a ' young friend had died, and he de sired the cloches for him. Nothing more was thought of the transaction until a few days ago, when a young man entered the store, ahd depositing a large package oh the counter announced to the clerk, “I am just now returning the suit which had been purchased for my burial.” The joung man then explained that he did cot die; that he was thought to be dead at one time, and his friend had ' hurried off to secure his burial clothes. The explanation was satisfactory', and the clerk unwrapped the parcel ! and laid it away on the shelf. STONE!

It, was finally decided that the best ploy of the Southern railway, was J killed at Spartanburg by plunging in [ front of a fast passenger train to save the lives of an aged man and woman who were crossing the track in a buggy and in w'hich he was success ful. Tillotson's act was cheered by a crowd of eye-witnesses, unaware for the Atlanta Constitution Sunday night by Mr. Robinson, the commission will oe able to show that those per sons making the charges of peonage absolutely misrepresented themselves ! an( * most practical way was to bring in order to get fiee transportation to the south. Georgia being one'of the states for ■■^hich commisg^n is working, Mr. Tcobin^W is th^^PPBw representative of the state and is engaged in secur ing for Georgia industries just the kind of Immigrants that are badiy needed to keep up the great prog ress which is now being made. The whole purpose of the commission is to Induce desirable immigrants to come to the south, and the present furor over alleged cases of peonage is naturally greatly interfering with Its work—and at the same time very pleasantly playing Into the hands of those Interests which are opposed to immigration to the south. The iail- roads which get the haul when labor ers and homestekers are carried to the west are the chief beneficiaries every time such charges are made against the south, and many stories detrimental to (his section which have been told abroad have been ascribed to their agents. Mr. Robinson declares that the fcsemt situation demands absolute “Tairffess in the intoyest Gl' southern Industries. Mr. Robinson's telegram to the Con stitution was as follows: “New York, November 4, 1996.—.The Southern Stalea Immigration Commis sion. located in New York, appealed to Fiesident Roosevelt tonight to di rect the department of justice ,to m^ke investigations here which will refute the peonage charges against tha R. D. Cole company of Newnan. We will show that the men making complaint absolutely misrepresented themselves to get free transportation south. Our work is inducing desirable immigration and therefore demands fairness in behalf of southern indus tries. Five Scotch farming families ar rive here Thursday, going to Georgia, and more following. "DAVID ROBINSON.” PRESIDENT GOT HIS TURKEY. ^'XunteS' for Tnre^^Says and Finally 'Landed a Lone Gobbler. President and Mrs. Roosevelt ar rived in Washington Sunday night from Pine Knot.

Hr shot a wild turkey, the : or.lv one shot during three days of hunting. these from the old world direct to a southern port, and Cha-leston was the city decided upon. Commissioner of Immigration E. J. Watson of South Carolina was placed in charge of the work and the co-operation of M. V. Richards, chief of the land and Indus trial department of Washington, was asked. Mr. Richards Immediately re sponded! and together with Mr. Wat son, these gentlemen went to work along practical linos. Most of the immigrants arriving on the Wittekind will be employed in the cotton mills of the Carolinas. The greatest care has been taken in the selection of these immigrants to secure tbe very best of workers who will prove industrious and also good citizens. If the experiment proves practical, and It is believed that it will by those in the beet position to know, this same plan will be carried out on a much larger scale, and the purpose is to establish a service which will bring In two of the big steamers load ed with homeseekers to Charleston every month.

An exciting time was experienced Saturday night on the Columbia, New berry and Laurens train from Colum bia to Laurens. Three negroes were attempting to beat their ways, and w-hen Conductor Flair followed them into the baggage car, one of them grabbed up the bag gage master’s rifle and fired, but miss ed the baggage master. They jumped off, the train was stopped and a gen eral fusilade began, some fifteen or more shots being flred. Two of the negroes get away, but one w'as shot in the arm and captured. No one on the tra’n was hurt. Passengers joined in the fieht r.nd e\ery effort was made to cateh the rezrees after they fired on the baggage master. The negro who picked up the gun carried it with him. Charges Negroes With Conspiracy S. B. Kiser, a prosperous farmer of Dorcheste; 4 county, has brought suit against a number of negroes in that county, charging conspiracy to pre vent him from employing hands. The trouble grew out of the lynch-. Ing of Willie Spain several weeks ago, which is the same case in which Sheriff Liffiehcuse was removed from effleo by the governor of an indictment by the grand jury for failure to pro tect the prisoner from the mob. Kiser had the lynched negro buried and has incurred the enmity of the negroes, who swore that anyone who had Spain's body buried would suffer the same fate that had overtaken Spain. The warrant sworn out by Mr. Kiser before Magistrate J. W. Cum mings, charges ten or twelve of the most prominent negroes of the com munity with banding themselves to gether with the intent and purpose of opposing Mr. Kiser and preventing and hindering him ift the exercise and enjoyment of his rights and priv ileges as granted him by the consti tution and laws of this state. The negroes in the vicinity of St George have been greatly inflamed and wrought up since Spain was lynch ed, forming numerous societies, tbe object of which was to hamper es pecially those who were suspected of having anything to do with the lynch- inch.
