VOL. XXV MANNING, S.C. WEDNESDAY OCTimaER KING HAS FLED From LisbU and a Republic Has Been Fredained by Rebel MAN PEOPL KillD By the Fierce Fighting Whirh Took Place in the Stree-t- of the Oily Pbortugal Now in the Hamd. of the Ibelmocrat,. Who HaVe Stc 'p a 1ron L.sonal Goveranent. The peop.l e- Portugal has de clared for a Republic. and taus De mocracy marches onward. Theophile Rraga. republican leader. is the new president. The Portugese Marsell laise is the new national anthem and the emIeom of monarchy on Lhe palace has been replaced by the fag of red and green, the colors of the republican party. That there was fierce fighting in the streets of Lisbon is evident oF dispatches from all quarters. Dis orders at Oporto have been repreas ed by the troops. many regiments of which are said to be loyal to the king. King Manuel. the queen mother and the queen dowager have taken ref-:ge in the palace at Matra. a .'hort distance out of Lisbdon. Lisbon. the capital. was complete ly in the hands of the rebels a few hours after the revolution was pro claimed. have formed a provisioc ial governmenht with Theopihile kra za as prnzsident. A new national fag of red and green is flying ovr j all the public buildings. including the town hall. The city of Lisbon has been con siderably damaged by the bombard ment of the insurgent warships. The buildings occupied by the ministers around Praca do Commercio and the Necessidades palace were made the particular targets of the shells from tht warships and today shows The shells 'rom the effects by broken walls and turrets. The tower of the church attached to the palace was demolished. All throu;h the night artillery and rifle - was incessant and to wards dAwn it increased in intensity. At 11 o'clock last night insargents. encamped on the Heights of Avema da dt Liberdado.. tried to force th-eir way to the centre of the city but were driven back by the royal troopt. -As the latter passed the barracks of the First artilery they discover e% that It was in the hands of the rebel civilians. They charged upon the civilians and dislo.iged them with conviderabile loss to the rebel-. -"he night firing was carried on in complete darkness. !he electric lights having failed. The insurcnts were led by the retired admiral, Carlos Reis. Their forces was great ly augmented by 4esertio~ns from2 among the monarchists and they suc ceeded eventually in getting comnt-'-->) of the city. The inhabitants are parading the streets. most of the-m with rifles :n their hands. singin the Portueme --3arseillaise." which has now be come the nationJ. an'them. Red Cross ambulanles. partie-s of police and men from the fire brigade are ua trolling the stretts and rem,'ing the dead and wounded. The revolutionists raided all build ings which flew the old flag and tore down the enmblems of the mon archy. The warships greeted the hoisting of the republican flag with salves of artillery. Eusebio Leao. the republican lead er, made a speech from the balcony of the town ball, saying that he en trusted the policing of the city and the maintenancee of order to tbe care of the citizens. "Respect all persons and private property." he- exclaimed. "and the life of all persons. whoever they way be. The republic is gener"us a..d magnanimou s." The huge crowd that had gathered around the buildin; cheered the speaker frantically. Notwithstand ing the thrl!ing evecnts of the past two days,- the people are now show Ing composure, and it seems likely that order in the city of Lisbon will be maintained. It is rumored that Gen. Gorjas. who commanded the defending forces. commnitted suicide when he isaw that the fall of tiwe palace was inevitable. Nearly all of the troops deserted the king and went o' er to the re bels.. .iany ships. of tbe navy did the same thing leaving the :.ing with no force to preserve order in L~s bon. A special dispatch fro-:n Lisbon say~s that the fighting in that cit:. lasted 40 hours. both p~arties, shos ing extraordinary courage. There we're many casualties before the monarchists finally joined the win ning side. The correspondent says the enthus iarnm of the people was unabounded. The citizens are fraternizing with the troops. Notwithstanding that there Is no organized police force. the pop ulation is orderly. The Portuguese newspapers state the initiative of the revolutionary movement in Lisbon was taken by the Sixteenth re::imen? of infan- ry. aided by a regiment of arrillary. bl'i. Jackets andI :..f.*'a armed ci'ilians. The police were overcom'- withou difticulty. The total of those killed in the tighting exceeds "M. while hundreds were wounded.

Russia is far bIehind other citil ized count:1- of the world in the matter of decreasing the number of death se-ntences. according to stati trcs g!ven to the international Prison congress At its session Thursday by Dr. Fred-rick H1. WineT.. of Philadel phia. 'in no country does the frequency and enormous number of executious excite auch horror as in Russia. said Dr. Wines. "Nowhere else is there waged so determined and un ceasing war against the employment. of capital punishment for the sup pression of crime Thi-s is more wor thy of remark in view of the fact that the penal code limits the appli cation to political offenders. And yet. in virtue of the system. by which offenses not political can ie punished by martial law. even in time of peace. the number of exe cutions is truly extraordinary. 'The official statistics show that In 1906-190S. 2.109 persons were le gally executed. So at least. it is stated. In one of the manuscripts placed in my hands. In another. the number of military executions In :4 years from 1874 to 1908 is given as 2.678 of whom 10 per cent. only were in the ariy: 2.4 10 of them were civilians: and 2.460 were punished for infraction of the com mon law.' Dr. Wines gave an interesting re port on other countries. but expla.in ed that statistics of homicide for the United States were unvaluable at present. He declare-I. however. thaJt in spite of statements to the con. trary, there was strong evidence thaz crime in this country was on the de crease. Accepting the principle of condi tional release on parole as indispea sable. the congress approved of these resolutions. The supression of vagabondage and street begging was advocated as necessary for social preservation. The congress endorsed unanimous ly the recommendation of SectIon ::. that tramps should be classified and that a system of identifica'.". should be kept by the police of all cities and towns. Work hous -s f ir this class were advocated with a: culture as the leading industry. This is of especial signiticance 'n the United States. where the far-n colony plan for segregating tramps and burglars and making them work rapidly is becoming an im-ant s-* ial question.

I According to the G.gures issued by the census bureau of the cotton gin ned this season. which is published on the first page of this iss.ue. It ap pears that up to September I5 there was a shortage of 26.3 bales, as compuared with lact year. And lastr year. it should be remembered. was a short crop year. The total numbes of bales ginned1 this season waa 2.s221 so the rshortage is more than one-tenth. If the same ratio should hold good the remainder of the season it would n'ean that the crop this year will fall short about a million bales below last year's crop. And this seemis to be just about what is to be expected. The last government report on the condition of the growing crop also shows a great dete'rioration. So. while there is already a shortage of ien per cent. in the cotton picked up to the pres ent. an equal shortage is indicated in the portion of the crop that re mains to be picked. IA shortare is reported from all the states except Texas and Tennes %ee. The Texas crop last year was far below the normal, and <-ven the gains made this year stil! leave it below an avesage crop. The short age in all the other states shows that in yield. compared with last vear. 7hey will lose more than Texas gain;. So by the first actual :igures. sy the Augusta Herald. in regard .o the cotton crop the certainty is prese-st ed that the yic'd thIs year's. This means that cotton will he cotton be fore this time next year.

Mr. Jackson says that he bas talk ed with a large number of inanclers in New York and they agree that the South is the coming portion of the: country and they have turned their attention to thi's section. The West was overated. accord ing to the statements of leading men i In New York. and the South will de- b relop in the near future in greater proportions and much more rapidly than did the West. Mr. Jacksu says that the belief in Gotham that there will be no more 10 cents cotton is fixed and the gen oral belief seems to be that 20 cents will soon be reached and one prom- X nent New Yorker says that 30 and - 40 cents will be seen In the not far distant future. People who own Southern lands 2 have fortunes in their very hands. said Mr. Jackson. and cotton will so 6 rapidly enhance in value In the near future that the lands will be more valuable than ever before. L I understand that the average number of bushels of wheat that can be produced per acre in the West is 12. and the price o' one dollar t4 per bushel is usually secured. mak ing the income from an acre just a dozen dollars. E In the South where land is well C cultivated and highly fertilized we n make a bale of cotton to the acre. A get $75 for the staple and from 40 and 50 cents per bushel for the seed. The Northern people are begin- r ning to realize more and more what t a wonderful country is the South and rO the production of cotton is going to r Increase and the price will increase a because the world is rapidly growinr and ninety per cent. of the peopl., of the world use -ottoo in some way. Cotton is indeed king. b BRCEAKS HIS NECK. Man 1i Killed Ity Failing Fromn Gin Hcwu*at Platform. W.
