C., Doo. 27.-A special to the Nows and Conner from Greenwood, 8. C., says: W. K. Jay, a prominent yonng far mer of the Troy flection of this county, was foully murdered ia his own yard by a negro, Oliver Wideman, and his wife, both of them<l?T?Dg on the plaoe.1 Both of the negroes were lynched by Jay's infuriated neighbors. Mr. Jay, on returning home Friday afternoon | heard Widaman abasing or fighting his (Widsoao's) wife. He weot to tho cabin sod ordered the negroes to be quiet. Immediately afterward Mrs. Jay heard the report of a gua aod saw the two Degrees running away. Calling for her husbaod, she had no answer, aod OD looking over the yard found him dead in apml of his own blood. Almost bis entire head had been blown off. The alarm was given and parties were soon scouring tho country in per sist of the negroes. Th?.y were cap tured. Before the coronet's inquest both acknowledged tho deed, but the mao said thc woman did it, and tho woman accused the man. They never changed from thia, but died accusiog caoh other of the crime. While in tho custody of a constable on the way to jail they were stopped at the Winterscat bridge by a crowd of infuriated friends and neigh bord of Jay where both negroes wore lynched. The lynohing took placo about mid night, several hours after thc inquest. W. K. Jay was a good citizen and prominent Mason, having boon a high official in thc Grand Lodge of South Carolina. Another Advance in Oil. New York, Dec. 25.-Again the price of oil has been advanced. The Standard Company to-day raised the figure foe refined kerosene one coot a gallon, making the prevailing price 10$ cents, the highest the oommodity haa reaohod io more than twenty years. ThoBC who control the output of oil have boen quick to seize the opportu nity to squeeze the consumers. Con sumption of oil for heating and illumi nating purposes has increased enor mously owiog to the scarcity of coal. Io a corresponding ratio thc price haa been advanced by the Staudatd Oil Company 2 cents since the begin ning of the anthracite coal troubles. There ic no telling how far thc prioe will be advanced in tho near future. Oil has proved a substitute for coal as fuel on steamships and locomotives, and a new market has thus been creat ed that has modo the Oil Trust, whioh controls 80 per oent of all tho petro leum produoed ia this ooaotry, more independent aod powerful than ever before. With oil at 10} cento to jobbers, it is estimated that the resulting in crease io the income of the Standard Oil Company is DO less than $16,000, 000 annually oo sales io this country alooe. Stockholders io the oil company re ceived their quarterly dividends for 1902 oo Monday. The installment wa? 10 per coot, amounting to $10, 000,000. Dividends for the entire year werc$45,000,000 aod stockholders may expect a liberal increase next summer. It is said that ooo reason for the steady inorease in prioo is tho fear of decreased production, as many wells in Pennsylvania show indications of giving out. While dividends to stockholders amounted to 45 percent io 11)02, last year aod the yearB before they were 48 per coot. The decrease during 1902 is due to the fact that the company has bought up new property in Texas and built Dew vessels for the carrying trade. The Law as to Trespass.
