GOOD-BYE.
Kiss me and say aoea ty-;
Good-bye; there is a- 'rd o Sax U
this,
Nor any lips left i :
Nor any tears to shed wheN
dry;
Kiss me and say god-bve
Farewell, be glad, foriet:
There is no need to say "Iorget" I knov,
For youth is youtil, arma time will have
it so,
And though you uips are pale and your
eyes wet,
Farewell, you must forget.
You shall bring home your sheaves,
Many and heavy, ana y ith blossoms
twined
Of memories that go not out or mind.;
Let this one sheaf be twined with pop
py leaves,
When you bring home your sheaves.
In garnered loves of tbire,
The ripe good fruit of many hearts and
years,
Somewhere let this lie gray and salt
with tears,
It grew too near the sea wind, and the
brine
Of life, this love of mine.
This sheaf was spoiled in spring,
And over-long was green and early ser e
And never gathered hola in the late
year
From autumn suns, and moons of har
vesting,
But failed infrests of spring.
Yet was it thine, my sweet,
This love, though weak as young corn
withered,
Whereof no man may gather and make
bread.
Thine, tnough it never knew the sum
mer beat;
Forget not quite, my sweet.

BRooKLYN, Ot. 21.-Rev. Dr. Tal
mage, who has left India and is now on
his homeword journey, ha.3 selected as
the subject ior his sermon today
through the press "October Thought3."
his text being Jeremiah, viii, 7, "The
stork in the heaven knoweth her ap
pointed times, and the turtle, and the
crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, but my people
know not the judgment of the Lord."
When God would set fast a beautiful
thought, he plants it in a tree. When
he would put it afloat, he fashions it in
to a fish. When he would have it glide
the air, he moulds it into a bird. My
text speaks of four birds of beautiful
instinct-the stork, of such strong af
fection that it is allowed familiarity to
come in Holland and Germany and
build its nest over the doorway; the
sweet dispositioned turtledove, ming
ling in color white and black and
brown and ashen and chestnut; the
crane, with voice like the clang of a
trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart
shot out of the bow of heaven, falling,
mounting, skimming, sailing-four
birds started by the prophet 25 cer tu
ries ago, yet lying on through the ages
with rousing truth under glossy wing
and in the clutch of stout claw. I
suppose it may have been this very
season of the year-autumn---and the
prophet out of doors, thinking of the
Impenitence of the people of his day,
hears a great cry overhead.
Now, you know it is no easy thing for
one with ordinary delicacy of eyesbgt
to look into the deep blue of noonday
heaven, but the prophet looks up, and
there are flocks of storks and turtle
doves and cranes and swallows drawn
out in long lines for flight southward.
As is their habit, the cranes had ar
ranged themselves in two lines, mat
ing an angle, a wedge, splitting the air
with wild velocity, the old crane, with
commanding call, bidding them onwarp
while the towns, and the cities,-enid-the
continents slid underithem. The proph
et, almost-tlizided from looking inlt(
dafling heavens, stoops down and be
-gins to think how much superior the
birds are in sagacity about their sa'ety
than men about theirs, and he puts hli
hand upon the pen and begins to write,
"The stork in the heaven knoweth her
appointed times, and the turtle, and
the crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, but my people
know not the judgment of the L'.rd.'
If you were in the field today, in the
clump of trees at the corner of the-flil
you would see a convention of birds
noisy as the American congress the
last night before adjournment or as the
British parliament when some unfor
tunate member proposes more economy
in the queen's household-a conventiol
of birds all talking at once, moving and
passing resolutions on the subject o:
migration, some proposing to go to
morrow, some moving that they go to
day, but all unanimous in the fact
that they must go soon, for they hay'
marching orders from the Lord writteD
on the first white sheet of the frost and
and in the pictorial of the changing
leaves.
There Is not a belted kingfisher, or a
chaffinch, or a fire crested wren, or
plover, or a red legged patridge but ex
pects to spend the winter at the south,
for the apartments have already beel
ordered for them in South America or
in Africa, and after thousands of mile:
of flight they will stop in the very tree
where they spent last .anuary. Fare
well, bright plumage: Until sprina
weather, away ! Fly on, great band o:
heavenly musicians! Strew the conti
nent with music, and whether from
Ceylon Isle or Carolinian swamps or
Brazilian groves men see your wings o:
hear your voice may they yet bethinl
themselves of the solemn words of the
text, "The stork in the heaven knoweth
her appointed times, and the turtle, and
the crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming, but my people
know not the judgment of the Lord.'
I propose, so far as God may help me
in this sermon, carrying out the idea o:
the text, to show that the birds of the
airhave more sagacity than men. And
I begin by partIcularizing and saying
that they mingle music with their
work: The most serious undertaking
of a bird's life is this annual rlight
southward. Naturalists tell us that
they arrive thin and weary and plum
age ruffled, and yet they go singing all
the way-the ground the lower line of
the music, the sky the upper line of the
music, themselves the notes scattered
up and down between. I suppose the
song gives elasticity to their wing and
helps on with the journey, dwindling
1,000 miles Into 400. Would God that
we were as wise as they in nmingling
Christian song with our everyday work!
I believe there is such a thing as taking
the pitch of Christian devotion in the
morning and keepIng it all the day. I
think we might taxe some of the dui
lest, heaviest, most disagreeable work
of our life and set it to the tune cf "An
tioch" or "Mount Pisgah."
It Is a good sign when you hear a
workman whistle. It is a better sign
when you hear him hum a roundelay.
It Is still a better sign when you hear
him smng the words of Isa~ac W atts or
Charles Wesley. A violin chorded and
strung, if something accidentally
strike it, makes music, and I1 suppose
there Is such a thing as having our
hearts so attuned by divine grace that
even the rough collIsions of life will
make a heaveuly vibration. I do not
believe that the power of Christian
song has yet been fuliy tried. I believe
that if you could roll the "Old Hun
dred" doxology througt. the street it
would put an end to aay panie. I be
lieve that the discords, and the sorrows,
and the sins of the world are to be
swept out by heaven horn hallelujahs.
Some one asked Hay dri. the celebrated
musician, why he udways ccmnosed
such cheerful music. 'Why." he'said
"I can't do otherwise. When I thin k
of God, my soul is so full of .ioy that
the notes leap and dance from my pen.
I wish we might all exult melodiously
before the Lord. With God for our

men actually caricature the idea tha1
there is any such thing as a higher life
Moles never did believe in eagles. Bul
my brethren, because we have no'
reached these heights ourselve?, shall
we deride the fact that there are an]
such hei2hts? A man was once talk
ing to Brunei, the famous engineer
about the length of the railroad froir
London to Jdristol. The engineer said
"It is not very great. We shall IavE
after awhile a steamer running froir
England to New York." They laughec
him to scorn, but we have gone so fal
now that we have ceased to laugh a!
anything as impossible for humar
achievement. Ttier, I ask, is anythin
impossible for the Lord ? I do not be
lIeve that God exhausted all his grac
in Paul and Latimer and Edward Pay
son. I believe that there are highei
points of Christian attainment to b4
reached in the ,uture ages of the Chris
tian world. You tell me that Pau
went up to the tiptop of the Alps o
Christian attainments. Then I tell yoi
that the stork and the crane hav
found-above the Alps plenty of roon
for free tlying.
We go out, and we conquer our temp
tations by the grace or God and li
down. On the morrow those tempta
tions rally themselves and attack us
and by the grace of God we defeat then
again, but staying all the time in th
old encampment we have the cil bat
ties to fight over. Why not whip ou
our temptations and then forwar(
march, making one raid threugh th
enemy's country, stopping not until w
break ranks after toe last victory. D.
my brethren, let us have sone novelt:
of combiat at any rate by cha'Jgirg, b;
going on, by making advancetnent
traciag off cur stale prayers about sin:
we ought to have quit lcng ago, goini
on toward a higher state of Christial
character and routing out sins that w,
have never thought of yet. The fact I
if the church of God; if we as indivl
daals made rapid advancement im thi
Christian life, these stereotyped prayer
we havc been making for 10 or 15 y'ear:
would be as inappropriate to us as the
shoes, and the hats, and the coais w'
wore 10 or 15 years ago. On, for
higher tiight in the Cciristian life, the
stork and the crans in their migratiol
reaching 'is the lessorn
D~ear Lord, and shall we over live,
At this poor dying rate
Oar love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?
Again I remark tilat the birds of t'c
air are wiser than we, because the;
know when to start. If you should g
out now and shout,"Stop. storks an<
cranes, don't be in a hurry'" they woul,
say: "No, we cannot stop. Last nigh
we heard the roaring in the woods bid
ding us away, and tne shrill flute of th
north wind has sounded the retrea
We must go. We must go." So the:
gather themselves into companies, an
turning not aside for storm or mountai:
top or shock of musketry, over laad
sea, straight as an arrow to the maril
they go. And if you come out thi
morning with a sack of corn and thro3
it in the filds and try to get them t
stop they would hadly see it. They ar
on their way south. You could no
stop thenm.
Ob, that we were as wise about th
best time to start for Gcd ~and heave!
We say: "Wait until it is a little late
In the season of mercy. Wait unt:
some of these green leaves of hope ar
all dried up ad have been scatterec
Wait until next year." After awhil
we start, and it is too late, and we peris
in the way when God's wrath is kindle
but a little. There are, you know, C]
ceptional cases, where birds have starte
too late, and in the morning you hay
found them dead on the snow. An
there are those who have perished hal
way between the world and Chrisl
They waited until the last sicknes!
when the mind was gone, or they wet
on the express train going at 40 mile
an hour, and they came to the bridge
and the "draw was up," and they wen
down. How long to repent and pray
Two seconds I To do the work of
lifetime and to prepare for the pas
eternity in twao seconds! I was readin,
of an entertainment given in a king
court, and there were musicians there
with elab&rate pieces of music. Afte
awhile Mozart came and began to play
and he had a blank piece of paper be
fore him, and the king familiarly looke<
over his shoulder and said' "Wha
areiyou playing ? I see no music be
fore you." And Mczart put his han<
en his brow, as much as to say, I ar
improvising." It was very well fo
him; but, ob, my friends, we cannot ex
temporize heaven. If we do not ge
prepared in this world, we will neve
take part in the orchestral harmonie
of the saved. Oh, that we were as wis
as the crane and the stork, flying away
flying away from the tempest !
Some of you have felt the pinchiinj
frost of sin. You feel it today. Yo
are not nappy. I look into your facet
and I know you are not happy. Thera
are voices within your soul that wil
not be silenced,teling you that you art
sinners and that without the pardon o
of God you are undone forever. Wha
are you going to do, my friends, witi
Ithe accumulated tra:negressioos of th!
iifetime ? Will yocu stand still and le
the avalanche tumble over you? Ob
that you would go away mnto the warni
heart of Goai's mnercy. The southeri
Igrove, .redolent iwith magnolia an<
caictus. never waited for northernilocck!
at Gad has waited for you, saying:'
Ihave loved thee with an ev'erlzsting
love. Comne unto me, all ye who at
weary and heavey laden:, and I w !! giv<
you rest."
IAnother frost Is bidding you aivay
it is the frest of sorrow. Where d,
you live now ? "Oh." you say,'"I hay:
moved." 'Why dlid you move? Yo:
say, "I don't want as large a house nov
as formeerly." Why do you not vwan
as large a house ? You say, "My famni
ly is not so large." Where have they
gone tc? Eternity: Your mind goe
back through that last sickness and
through the almost supernatuari effor
to keep life, and through those prayer
that seemed unavailmng, and throng!
that kiss which received no respons
beeanse the lips were lifeless, and I hea
the tefls toliiig and I near the hearts
breamlg--while I speak I hear their
lbreah. A heart: Another heart! Alone
alone, alone! TmIs world, which it
your Mlbl'ed and bcvhood was sun
shine, iscolu now, rnd,'oh, weary dov4
you fly arouend this world as though yot
would like to stay, when the wind, ant
would tid you away into the heart
of an alt comforting God. Oh, I have
noticed again and again what a botch
this world makes ot it when it tries to
comfort a soul in trouble' It says,
- "Don't cr% :" How can we help crying
l wben the heart treasures are scattered,
a: d father is gcne, and mother is gone,
and companions are, gone, and the child
is gone, and everything seems gone?
It is no comfort to tell a man no: to
cry. The world cc.m es up and says
mit is only the body ot your loved
one that vou have put in the ground."
But tiere is no comfort In that. That
bxdy is precious. Shall we never put
our ha d in that hand again, and shall
wve never see that sweet face again?
Away with ycur heartlessness, 0 world!
inut care, Jesus, and tell us that when
t-e tears fall they rail Into God's bot
e, t h at the dear bodies of our loved
on- shall rise radiant in the resurrec
tion, ana all the breakings down here
shall be lifting-up there, and "they shall
fhunger no more, neither thirst any
more, neither shall the sun light on
them nor any heat, for the lamb which
is in the midst of tne throne shall lead
them to living fountains of water, and
God shall wipe all tears from their eyes."
You may have noticed that when the
chaliaeb, or the stork, or the crane
starts on its migration it calls all those
of its kind to come too. The tree tops
are full of chirp and whistle and carol
and the long roll call. The bird does
not start off alone. It gathers all of
its kind. O, that you might be as
wise in this migration to heaven and
that you gather all your families and
your friends with you! I would that
Hannah might take Samuel by the
hand, and Abraham might take Isaac,
and Hagar might take Ishmael. I ask
you if those who sat at your breakfast
table this morning will sit with you in
heaven? I ask you what Influences
you are trying to bring upon them
-what example you are setting them.
Are you ,calling them to go with
you? Aye, aye, have you started your
self?
Start for heaven and take your chil
dren with you. Come thou and all thy
house into the ark. Tell your little
ones that there are realms of balm
and sweetness for all those who
ny in the right direction. Swifter
than eagle's stroke put out for
heaven. Like the crane or the stork,
ston not night nor day until you Lnd
the right place for stopping. Seated
today in Christian service, will you be
seated in the same glorious service
when the heavens have passed away
wI th a great noise, and the elements
have melted with fervent heat, and the
redeemed are gathered around the
throne of Jesus?
The Saviour calls.
Ye wanderers come.
Ob, ye benighted souls
Why longer roam?
The spirit calls today.
Yield to his power.
Oh, grieve him not away,
- 'is mercy's hour.

AUtGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 24.-HarrIson
Smith, a negro laborer who worked for
W. H. & W. B. Brigham, and who
lived in Summerville, commItted sul
cide. He shot himself twice with an
old Rritish bull-dog pistol. once in the
breast and once through the heart. He
was found dead about 4 o'clock last
aternoon by a party of boys who were
I out hunting in the woods in the valley
a at the foot of Monte Sano, and in the
rear of the Exposition grounds near
the street car line. He was lying on
the ground on hid Dack in a pool of his
s own blood n~ud the pistol which had
5 done The work was tightly clasped In
I nis right hand. In his pocket was
found a razor, and from his having
been so well armed it Is believed he
had thoroughly made up his mind and
twas determined to end his exIstence.
Harrison's troubles were of a domes
tic nature. He was the father of a
lare amlywho were entirely depen
dnupnhis labor for a support. His
house was encumbered, and what made
matters worse and caused him to be
ecome despondent and lead him to com
mit the rash act was the present of
Stwins his wife made him on Sunday
which increased the count of his chil
idren from eleven to the unlucky num
ber of thirteen. The large and sudden
addition to his family broke Harrison
up completely, and after meditating
and soliloquizing he concluded life was
a ourden and that the responsibilities
were greater than he could bear and
decided to shake off the mortal coil.
After dinner, while returning to wort
down the lonely road, Harrison con
s cluded the tIme had come to destroy
~himself, and he walked into the woods
0 and after finding a quiet and secluded
e spot under tha shade of the pines he
laid himself down on the grass, pulled
ehis little gun out of his pocket, placed
eit to his breast and after closing his
eyes pulled the trigger.
rNot having been killed instantly he
Simagined the bullet had missed the vit
Sal parts, he located his heart by run
* ning his fingers over his breast until he
struck the spot where the throbs of the
organ of life were felt palpitating, and
there he placed his pistol and fired the
second shot, which put his lights out.
Some of the negroes were of the opin
Sion that Harrison had been murdered,
but there was no reason for that theory
and it is believed that he Intentionally
did It all by his lone self. The body was
afterwards removed to the negro
e church nearby, where it will be kept
s until after Coroner May holds an in
Squest at 10 o'clock this morning.
Tremendous Frarie Fire
OxAuA, Neb., Oat. 26.-Lashed on
t by a furious wind the prairie tires that
I are now raging in the northwestern
s part of the State are travelling with
9 almcst lightingradidity and consuming
everything in their track. Last night
the blaze was driven through the central
-portion of Sheridan and Cherry coun
I sadin its track were the big
t Osborne and Spade ranches and a num
- ber of smaller ones. This morning not
ia vesttge of these ranches remains,
i except the bare and scorched ground.
r Late this afternoon the lire is reported
- to have reached Pullman, and the
t whole country in that neighborhood is
F a raging furnace.
s it is not known whether any lives are
a lost or not, but thousands of head of
,cattle have perished. People in the
track of the fire are fleeing for their
Slives, and leaving all the property to
the mercy of the flames.
At Homingford John Bliss, one of
the men badly burned while fighting
Ithe demon, is reported as dead and
others of the victims dying. So far as
can be learnedi the flames have not
jumped the F:eomnon Ethorn and Mis
souri valley Black Hill tracks but it is
feared they may at any time. Little or
no damage has been done as yet to rail
road property on this line. The Bur
lington railroad, as yet, reports no
damage.
The blaze is supposed to have been
set by a drunken man near Mullin but
this is not authentic. So far the flames
have traversed a stretch of country
over 200 miles in length and seventy
milh s wide. The last report is from
Hecla where considerable damage was
-dorne. At this place ihe wind turned
'sou.th, driving the flames to an, as yet,
unvisited cnty

NEW ORLEANs, Oct. 25.-The local
press will publish tomorrow a circular
of Mr. A. J. R. Landauer.one of th
largest exporters from the South oi
American cotton, estimating the com
mercial crop of cotton for the current
season at 8,885,000 bales.
Mr. Landauer estimates for Texas
2,700,000 bales, or an increase of 641,00C
over last year; for the group of other
Gulf States, embracing Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee,
2,700,000 bales, an increase of 484.000; for
the Atlantic States, embracng North
and South Caro!ina. Georgia, Florida
and Alabama, 3,485.003, an increase of
210,000 ba'es.
C'cu!atld by percentage, he makes
Texas gain 31 per cent., other Gulf
States 22 per cent., and the Atlantic
States 64 per cent. His views are pre
dicated on personal observations made
while traveling through sections of
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee, A:kansas and
Texas and in addition to the reports of
a large number of experienced corre
spondents throughout the South.
Referring to reports promulgated rel.
ative to this season's growth, Mr. Lan
da:er says: "From my own oersonal
obseri ation ard from what I learn frorr
reports received, I feel satisfied thai
the yield of the present cropis exagger
ate~d."
He says the fact that 5,600,000 bale.
were marke.ed from States other that
Texas last year, notwithstanding th(
very poor yield of the Mississippi Val
ley oottoms, indicates that some very
fine crops must have been raised it
many sections of those States, leadinj
to the inference that while good re
suits may he obtained this season, the
must be considered in a good man
cases in comparison with like condi
tions last season. He finds Texas
Louisiana and North Carolina ahead ol
all other States, while the hill lands od
Arkansas promise indifferent and, ii
many cases, poorer crops than last
year. Georgia and South Ca.rolin
crops are very much spotted, som(
good, others not better than last year
while the gain in Mississippi, is prin
cipally in bottom lands which promis
better than for years, while the up
lands will give an increase.
Mr. Landauer says that Egyptian an
Indian crops will equal last season
while the Asiatic crop promises t
prove disappointing. He claims tha
the spinning trade in England an
Germany is improving; France report
gc od trade with prospects of mills con
tinuing to work full time, and that 1F
Russia many of the most prominen
spinners and manufacturers have con
tracted ahead for their entire outpu
for 1895. some having contracts up ti
March, '96.
In America, he looks for a considera
ble improvement over last season, ant
estimates the takhgs for the year b,
foreign and dorrestic spinners at 8,600,
003 bales of American cotton and cal
culates on this basis that should thi
current crop reach 8.900,000, the visibl]
supply October, 1st, 1895, will not havy
increased Lore than 350,000 bales ove:
that of October 1st, 1891.
He claims that wIth continued los
prices, India will not ship anythins
like the quantity she has shipped thi
last two years, and that with a redne
tion of the Asiatic crop, the deman<
for cotton from other centres will natu
rally increase, added to which hi
points to the probability of planter:
holding back a great deal of tbi:
year's product on account of loi
prices, and as cotton cannot be raise<
at present values, unless there is at
improvement, next season must wit
ness a consiaierably reduced acreage.
He claims that the present heav,
movement to market is not an indica
tion of the crop, as it might be evel
greater with an eight million orap
and expresses the opinion that it i
suicidal to sell an article which ha!
gone far below the price of prodnction
concluding as follows:
"American cotton has no competi
tior, and hence America is in a far bet
ter position t adictate the price of thi;
article than any oaher she exports. At
a matter of course, if planters continui
to rush their entire product to marks
at once, if they are so frigntened b:
current prices as to demoralize othere
then It is possible we may witness ever
lower prices yet. O2 the other hand
if they market gradually and hold
portion, their risk is certainly onli
nominal, If any, and If no great ad
vance be established, we might, for
time at least, experience steady mar
kets, followed by a healthy advance.
Note-Mr. Landauer is Belgian con

Feartal Plague.
LoUIsVILLE, Ky., Oct. 24.-A special
to the Times from Sturgip, Ky., says:
A fearf cl and death-dealing plague oa
diphtheria Is raging opposite Casey
yile, Ill., and coilins carn hardly hi
furnished fast enough with which ti
bury the dead. Not fewer than forty
deaths have occurred within the week,
It is not uncommon to bury two chil
dren in a single coilia. A man from
across the river arrived at Caseyville
today for the fifth colln furnished to
one family. The plague has now
crossed the Ohio anti is epidemic at
Caseyvilie and Mulfordtown, having
been brought thither by families fromu
illinois leeing from its ravages. .A
number of dangerous cases are de
s eloping there and all the schools have
closed. The community is in a general
state of alarm. Among the few recov
eries noted some hale been left bliud
or paralyzed. A number of physicians
else where have been called to assist in
combating the disease, the local doctors
thus far being powerJess to arrest ths
epidemic._________
Gettiog Scared.
CotomuI, S. C.. Oct. 24.-Slnce the
assassination of Treasurer Copes of
Orangebur, the treasurers turoughout
the State are becoming frightened, anc
many of tnem are writing letters to the
oflice of the Comptroller General ask
ig if there is no way for them to be
relieved of collecting tours. Some
of them truthfully say in their letters
that affairs like the murder of Mr.
Copes are contagious, and suggest sim
iar crimes to bloodthirsty men. It
would not be surprising to hear at any
time of the murder or attempted mur
der of some county orncer. It is proba
ble that the next Legislature will
cnange the law making it the duty of
County Treasurer's to go on collect
lg tours. It is an Uuecessary law,
anyhow. as the county seats are the
paces for th ecollection of taxes, and
few taxpayers settle at the places visit
ed1 by the trAsurers-StateA
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.
The Total i:wArd OQuered Fo- Murdero
of Mr. C ape.
A special dispatch to the News a
Conrier from Orangeourg says "It
mass meetirg which was called f
Saturday for the purpose of takii
some steps by the public looking to i
creasing the chances for the capture
the murderers of Treasurer Copes w
well attended by a large number of t
best citizens of Orangeburg Couni
Dr. 0. R. Lowman was made chairm
aid 111r. J. L. Sims, secretary. Mr.
W. H. Dukes stated that Zhe object
the meeting was to take some steps
behalf of the county looking towar
increasing the reward for the captu
of the murderers of Mr. Copes.
The following resolution was offer,
I by Mr. B. H. Mcss and adopted unar
Wously:
Resolved. That the chairman
this mass meeting of citizens be auth<
ized to guarantee a reward of $1,000 f
the arrest, with proof to convict, of t
murderers of Robert Copes, and th
the members of the Legislature frc
Orangeburg County be requested
lend their efforts to secure an appropri
tion by the legislature to enable this ;
ward to be paid out of the county fur
It was amended so as to read th
$500 should be paid for the arrest al
conviction of one of the murderers, ai
an additional $500 for the arrest ai
conviction of two or more. The idi
was to have certain men guarantee t
payment of the amount, pending acti
by the Legislature appropriating t]
spid amount. A subscription list w,
"iimediately handed around, and in
few minutes a sufficient number
men of means had aflixed their nam
to guarantee the payment of the 61,0(
Several of the members from Orang
burg County beir g present arose a
pledged themselves individually to su
port such an appropriation before t
next Legislature. The following Re
resentatives were present and so e
pressed themselves: Dr. W. S. Barto
Senator, and Messrs L. K. Sturkie, V
0. Tatum, L. S. Connor and I. N
ETwmaa.
The Wiea is to have the amount off(
ed as a reward paid by all the people
the county rud not by a few private i
dividuals, as the people throughout t
entire county are interested in the i
sult and all circumstances and con
tions of people in the county desired
be permitted to make their contrib
tion. Orangeburg .County regardle
of race or faction is aroused and det
mined to have the perpetrators of ti
terrible deed punished as they deser
to be.
During the course of the meeting i
marks strc-igly endorsing the abo
cPtion were made by Messrs. J. W. I
Dukes, L. K. Sturkie, W. 0. Tatum,:
A. Webster, W. L.-Glaze, L. S. Conn
and others.
In acco:aance with the above resol
tion the following paper has been issu
by Dr. 0. R. Lowman, the chairman:

$1COO Reward!
At a mass meeting of the citizens
the county and city nell at the Cou
House this day, October 27, I was a
thorIzed to guarantee one thousa
1 (31,000) dollars reward over and abo
the five hundred (.500) dollars offer
by Governor Tillman for tha captu
with evidence to convict, of the mi
- derers of Treasurer Robert Copes as f
lows: For one murderer $500, for t
or more the full $1,000.
Oscar R. L ow..an, Chairman
This makes a reward of fifteen nt
Idred dollars hanging ove: the heads
the men who were so daring as to si
a gcod man in the open day time fo:
tfew shekels of silver, and it is since:
Ily hoped that it will prove eff ectual
causing their capture and conviction
Before the meeting adjorned Dr.
iWilliam Stokes offered the follow1
resolution, which also was unanimoi
-ly adopted:
tWhereas, a sehsational report I
ben ~ published in the Elmire, N. 3
Budget to the effect that five negr<
had been lyuched for the murder
ITreasurer Copes; and whereas, no au
Slynching has occurred; and where
suc'i reports are calculated to injt
our county and State:
SResolved. That the chairman of t
emeeting be requested to contradict
efe.se report through the columns oft
rElmira Budget and also through
Associated Press. That es a matter
fact suspicion has not up to this til
Spointed to any colored man in conn
stion with the murder of Treasm
-Copes.
l In compliance with this request]
-0. R. Lowman has, since the meeti:
eforwakded the following letter to t
sBudget, at Elmira. N. Y.:
