FOUR NEGROES DIE BY 31OB. Three Men and One Woman Lynched in Georgia-Crowd Overpowers Jailer. Hamilton, Ga.. Jan. 22-.A mob of 100 men tonight broke into the Har ris jail overpowering Jailer E. M. Rab bitson and took four negroes, three men and one woman, out and hung them to trees one mile from town. The: then riddled their bodies with bullets. It is estimated that 300 shots were fired. Last Sunday afternoon while Norman Hadley, a well to do un married farmer, was sitting in his house alone a shot was fired through the window and he fell dead. That afternoo., four negro tenants, Belle Hathway, Joe Moore, Eugene Halling and "Dusty" Crutchfield were arrest ed charged with the murder. Sheriff Hadley, who is an uncle of the dead man, feared no lynching and tonight he is in Columbus. Public sentiment, however, had been crystalizing here all day and by nightfall there were a great many country people in Hamil ton. Their number was constantly augmented, and 9 o'clock fully 900 men had congregated in front of the court house in which the jail is locat ed. Despite the pleas of Jailer Rob ertson, they advanced on the cala boose and throwing him to one side broke the doors down. The terrified negroes were hustled out at the point of guns and marched outside the town. There they were quickly strung up. Immediately after they were silnonet ted against sky, revolvers and rifles blazed forth and fully 300 shots were fired before the mob dispersed and left its prey to the winde The negroes protested their inno cence to the last but the mob would have none of it. No motive for the killing of Hadley, who was very popu lar, can be advanced by the people here. GOOD ROADS CONVENTION. Every County Represented at Meeting in Columbia. Columbia, Jan. 22.-The South Caro lina Good Roads association held a most successful meeting here today in the Richlanid county court house, with delegates from every county in the State being present, there being over 50 in the hall when President Hyatt called the convention to order this morning. The Crosson bill providing for a State highway commissioner was dis cussed thorcughly this morning and the convention finally went on record as being opposed to it and not in fav or of its passage. This will probably mean the death blow to this project, which is now under discussion in the senate. Permanent road building con * stituted another topic of discussion participated in by a large number of delegates. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. D. M. Crosson, R. A. Meares, H. H. Arnold, D. M. Myers and Supervisor Humbert,' of Laurens -ounty, as well as others. The con vention was a success, the discussions all being informal and on "the good of the order." * President F. H. Hyatt and Secre tary Fingal C. Pdack were unanimous ly reelected to the positions which they have filled so ably and so accep tably in the past. Mr. Hyatt is do ing, and has done, as much for good roads as any other one man in the State, and with him at the head of the South Carolina Good Roads associa tion will continue to be a great powet flor this uplift in South Carolina. AiREENWOOD NAU A SUICIDE. T. F. Sanders Takes His Own Life SLeaves Note to Mr. Jake B. Hal tiwanger. lreenwood, Jan. 23.-M. F. San ders, a prominent business man of this place, committed suicide last night about 7.30 o'clock by shooting himself in the right temple with a 38-calibre vistol. That the act was premeditated 'is evidenced by the fact that he left in -a -note to Mr. J. B. Haltiwanger, in istructions where to find his body. The -note, which evidently was writ -ten only a short while before his death lis as follows: '",Get ?at Blalock and some others o't our friends and come down to the Seaboard. You will find me on the lower side of fill below switch, near large drain pipe, that is under fill, be low Taylor Ring. You will see my coat near the pipe. So don't say any thing to many, as I don't care for my family to be alarmed until you see me. "M. F. Sanders." Mr. Haltiwantger received the note which was sent by a n.egro, about 8.3( o'clock and, of course, hurried to the spot designated and found the body in apool of water and mud, at the enc of the passenger station. the dead man's coat, as mfo.s "There is no foul play responsible for this act. 7.30 o'clock. M. F. San ders." Mr. Sanders had met with business reverses lately and the probable cause of his terrible act can be attributed to this fact. For the past several years Mr. Sanders had been actively engag ed in the dry goods and millinery busi ness here and during this time made many warm friends. He was 50 years old. Mir. Sanders is survived by his wife and three children, who are: Marshall Sanders, student at Clemson; Mrs. J. B. .IcCaila, of Knoxville, Tenn., who is now here, and little Katherine San ders; his mother and father, Dr. and Mrs. William Sanders, of Ninety Six; brothers, Messrs. W. S. Sanders and Irvin Sanders, of Ninety Six; Royal Sanders, a travelling salesman; sis ters, Mrs. T. L. Alston, of this place, and Mrs. Stewart, of Greenville. The funeral will be held tomorrow morn ing at 11 o'clock. BOOMIERANG, TILL AN'S OPINION. Senator Talks About Wilson-Harvey Affair-Recalls Watterson's Op position to Bryan. Washington, Jan. 23.-Senator Ben jamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, is of the opinion that the Harvey-Wat terson incident has proved a boomer ang for those two gentlemen, and will react to Governor Wilson's credit rath er than injure him as a candidate. While Senator Tillman has not com mitted himself, and will not yet, he is strongly inclined to favor the nomina tion of the New Jersey executive as the most available candidate. Thinks Wilson Stronger. "I shall wait before committing my self," declared Senator Tillman. "but I am greatly impressed with Governor Wilson. I do not want the Democratic party to name a Republican in dis guise, as has been done in the past. As things now appear, I believe Wil son is stronger with the people than he was before the Harvey-Watterson incident. He has been tried in the fire and came out without singed wings. I had given Henry Watterson credit for more sense than to try to foist off a story like this, with the material facts concealed, though I now recall that he went back on free silver and Bryan. "Saw Through Scheme." "Instead of Wilson showing a lack of gratitude to Harvey, as we have been led to suppose, he saw through the scheme, measured Harvey and Watterson correctly and refused to be lassoed and tied to Thomas F. Ryan. This fact should and will make him stronger with the masses of the peo pe, for I believe they are sick and tir ed of being betrayed by men who have climbed into high offces under false protenses. "Governor Wilson may as well be prepared for other attempts to destroy him, as he is evidently 'very obnoxious to the Wall street bunch of men who run 'big business.' Every time one Iof these big Anti-Wilson bombs are Idischarged the people soon discover a Wall street clock lying around with a time fuse attached. If they keep on I expect to see him get the nomina tion, and if nominated I expect to see him elected." ROADS )IUST HAUL BEER. Decision Considered Big Victory for I Liquor People. Washington, Jan. 22.-Liquor inter Iests today won a far-reaching victory. in the supreme court by a decision 'that railroads mutst ai-ry beer when 1offered for transportation into "dry counties" of another State. The de (cision affected particularly shipments from Indiana into Kentucky. Justice Lurton, who announced the court's decision, also laid down some limitations on the jurisdiction of the (interstate commerce commission. He upheld the action of shippers in going before judicial tribunals to test the validity of laws rather than to the commission. He said the commission had jurisdiction over administrative questions and matters of fact, but the court had "undisputably" determined: That beer and other intoxicating li quors are the recognized and legiti mate subjects of interstate commerce. That no State can forbid any comn mon carrier to transport such articles from a consignor in one State to a consignee in another. That until such transportation is Iconcluded by delivery to the consig nee, such commodities do not become subject to such regulation restraining their sale or disposition. He explained that the Wilson act, which subject:ed such liquors to State regulations, although the liquor still was in original packages, did not ap ply before actual delivery to the con Ktt T-T WS NECESSARY havxe a oersonal talk wit] - cit.
