ILAfT RE UNKNOWN !be Victim, Who Was (arged With a Minor Offeme, Was Carried a Short Distance from Town, Beaten - Pistol. Butts, and Was Thee Shote to Deat. John 1jelder. a negro, was brutal 'ty beaten and shot to death near the town -of Norway on Friday night. Feder -had been committed to the town guard house on the charge of Gbeaming money: under false pre oses- which trouble had been straightened out 'early in -the night. But later In' the night the guard house was broken open, the negro taken out, beat about the head with pisto' butts, and then shot to death, tis body being left by the roadside a short distance from the town. Re Iorts Indicate that but a few com - posed the little lynching party that did the night's work. 1eporta say that the negro's S aeal troubles had nothing to do with the lynching, as that matter had been settled. It is also stated ' that Felder had had some words with a white man. From the reports ob -t..Ined from all sources. it appears xtoat enme -man or men had a grier - sac of just what magnitude is not -known, against John Felder, and that he or they took advantage of the oc ,csieon of his Incarceration, drove into th.ilttle town of Norway, secured ais or their victim. then proceeded with the usual mob ceremonies, with the-)obably, addition of the ante mortem brutalities. A etorl3ot the lynching from Den -mark. says a negro. John Felder, a tenant of the plantation of Herman -.O &wn, near the town of Norway, was arrested Friday by -Magistrate 'yler on warrant sworn out by J. :. L.ysath, of North, on the charge of obtaining money under false pro - t#ce and was lodged in the guard iosse .at Norway to await a prelim Anary hearing. The negro had con treted to work or. the farm of S. t- Guess & Son, at Denmark, the coming year. af.- Leysath knowing this, com 'nuniested with Guess & Son the ear - F art of Friday night and Guess & ., .So. agreed to reimburse him and thereby permit the negro to compl: fth his new contract. Also during the early part of Saturday night th' two sons of the dead negro came tc : Denmark and urged Guess & Son t act speedily in securing the release oe their father, as they feared that hairm would come to the prisoner il be remained in the Norway card "iouse over night. Their fears were well founded. fo: during the nigma mob of men broke - open the guard house, took the ne -gro and earried him a short distante from the town, tied his bands and shot. 1tm to death. Before or afte the shooting the victim was horribly beaten about the head with the butt end of the revolvers. Broken piecer e f the handles of the revolvers found near the dead body show that the -~ blwa were iniieted with force ant A3reblack- dog was found * narding the body of the negro. The -dog .did -not belong to the murdered man nor can any one be found whc wiltf3 same the mnaster of the sym pathetic canine. It is conceded by all that the killing did not originat ,f-rom the Leysath arrest, as this wat av mitably settled in the earlier part ~wof' the night. A few days ago the negro, Felder. - and a white man liad an altercation. or words, and the negro is reported to have drawn a gun on the whitt and used some ugly threats. hename of the white man could not be leariied, but the story has con sible authenticity. The mob, i' fortnzed to avenge this bad .behavio2 ~of the negro. shocked a law-abiding 4-- community, and otherwise disturbed the good feeling between the races. This good people of Norway regret the occurrence of the terrible crime and pray that the law will assert it self,.and promise to this fine agricul -tural --ommunity a future of safety and -keen recognition of law in itt protection to society and in dividttals. They were excited Saturday norning when. It was found that the negro had been taken from the guard bec-es, in the middle of the night, and shot to death. The tracks of two buggies leading - *from the guard house were followed ~.three miles from town, and there the &dead body of the negro met the eye ofthe magistrate. The body was riddled -with shot, several of therr piercing the head. The dead body of the negro and the buggy tracks con st!tuted all the evidence to the deed. The fact that there were tracks of only two buggies leads to the belie': that the band which lynched the ne -- gre was small. * The motive for the deed is not ap * -parent. The first news of the lynch - - lg went to Governor Bdease Satur 7. day in the''shape of a telegram fr-om' dagistrate Tyler and stated that un -known persons had broken open the~ - .guard house and lynched a man .who had been locked up on a minor1 charge. The narrative of the circumn utane was obtained in a lou-cdis tance telephone conversation with Magistrate Tyler Saturday afternoon. The identity of the lynchers is un known. -'It is said that their work was done in the early hours of the reorning, before any one was astir. An investigation into th~e matter in stttuted- by the magistrate has besn postponed until today. The investi gation is in the hands of Magistrate' D). S. Tyler. who, will sitt it to the bottom. Sheriff-.Salley went to No way on Saturdag to '-ire what assis tance be conidin the mtnte~r. The corn, wheat and potato crops or this country for the past year is --valued at over two billion and ; warter dollars. Surely God has been , good to us as a nation.

Usually it means that one t.:l take his gun, plenty of ammuni icn. suitably array himself in clothes ltted to withstand a good deal of m.uglt usage, and go into wild woods mountains and hunt for deer, bears. and and other animals. even .h.e lowliest conception of it means ftigue and searching as one looks for smaller game and birds. But rayalty looks at these things differ ently. Dressed in fancy and pictur esjue costume kings and princes comfortably seat themselves on a ,.tatton n that has been erected for hem. while beaters scour the woods .and drive poor frightened boars and other animals into a lane that leads 1 the platform. Under such circum stances all that the royal party has to do is to massacre the beasts as they ush by in panic stricken haste. the other day the Emperor Williar. and his royal guest shot, it is said, n the short space of one and a half hours. 39 wild hogs, 15 deer, and other animals that brought the total up to 96. It ie gravely said that the two royal personages are "crack shots." 'At such short range, and un ter such conditions they could s' ly fail to hit. And such slaughter Is called hunting and the event is .:ensidered of so much 1w,,ort-t:i that a full account of it has to b, telegraphed across the ocean. Is it any wonder that in the dominions of the German and the Austrian empires socialism and discontent make head way? Scientific Dogmattsm. Experience often upsets the calcu lations of men, even of scientists and experts, with the result that they have to admit their error and revise their opinions. When in the early part of the last century it was pro posed to light the English parliament buildings with gas there were grave and reverend men who opposed the innovation on the ground that the gas would ignite in the pipes and burn the building. So engineers proved to their own satisfaction that a ship could not cross the ocean un der steam alone, but the at vessel thus to cross proved them to be wrong. When the Titanic was built she was pronounced unsinkable . by her constructor but on her maiden voyage she went to the bottom. :earned professors conclusively prov ed that nobody sucked down by her fatal plunge would foat to the sur tace, but the search steamer found three hundred bodies. And such in -tances of experience, causing a re vision of opinion, teaca the lesson that whether in science, government. theology or any other realm it does not do to be dogmatic, and intolerant of other men's views. What may be accepted as indisputable truth to-day may be laughed out of court to-mor row, and what to-day is ridiculed as visionary nav to-morrow be acclaim ed as an established fact. Scattered Sunshine. There died the other day in Chica ;o a man who was popularly known as "Smiling Billy." He was only a -oor man working for a daily wage, ret millionaires and statesmen. as well as people in humble life, knew aimn and esteemed him. His mission, until he gave up his position a year .ago. was to guard a- street crossing atMd many an old and feeble woman and many an eager, thoughtless child did he safely pilot across the danger sius crossing during the ma'ny years of his service. For all, old and coung, rich and poor, he always had a -radiant smile and a cheery word. And people- loved him for it, as well they might, for the influence and value of a genial disposition to thou sands is far greater than most people suppose. "Smiling Billy" by his -humble service so cheerfully dis charged gave pleasure and relief to many who passed him day by day as they crossed from one side of the street to the other. And in so doinl he has taught us that as men come into constant touch with the great stream of human life almost every day so it is poshible by kindly, smile and word, which costs nothing, to bless the lives of many and send then on their way with new hope and vis ion. People With Low Tastes. It is/really astonishing how some people'love sensationalism and every thfing'ealculated to morally degrad' society. And it is equally astonish ~ng that this low taste is not confin ed to people who are born amidst de rading associations, but that so many of what is known as refmned and high-toned society pope are afflict ed with it. An instance of that was seen recently in Philadelphia when so many fishionable young people in dulged in suggestive dances with such abandon that their elders were shocked and took steps to stop the evil. It is to be hoped their efforte may be successful. it all goes 5' show that wealth. luxury. culture ant all the things that accompany such condition of life are not in themselver sufficient to build up~ character. In fact these so-called advantages standing alotne. have a tendency to, enervate and lower character; this ia the teacbing of histovry in all ages rnless bainanced and controlled by an intellirent and wise religious sr'ee wealth and luxury are likely to prove t curse instead of a blessing.

The TAFT FEEL 110OD CONfiRATULATES Son ON ELCK TION Of WILSON VOTED AS THEY PRAYED Predicted Naton Wide Prosperity Under the New Administration in a Speech He Made to Many Peo ple in Florida on His Way to Panama., At St. Augustine, Fla., where he stopped on his way to Panama, on Friday night. President Taft. in a speech congratulated the South up on the election of a president, pre dicted nation wide prosperity under the new administration and spc*e with pride of the way this sator takes the quadrennial verdict of the people at the polls. The president spoke in the Mason i': Temple and the crowd which lis tened to his words cheered him to the echo. He gave his philosophy of politics and closed with a remark that swept the hail with laughter. "The only sorrow I have," he said, "is the thought that there will break in upon the people and some individuals the fact that there are not enough ofiles to go around.' President Taft said in Art: "Your distinguished chairman. Senator Fletcher, has said something about the relations of the North to the South, and has read from one of my addresses with reference to the recent election. I meant every word I said. I am not taking back a word, only, I want you to Wder stand that I was playing the part of a philosopher and was attempting to find good out of something which might have been diferent. "I had occasion to say when I visited the South during a previous election campaign, that I ventured to think a grit many of my audience would vote one way and pray an other. "I did not think that was the ese in the last campaign-at least, there was nothing to indicate it. Th morning after the election every thing -as settled, everybody ac juiesced and there was not what it coloquial terms would be called s 'kick' anywhere." President Taft teen reiterates some of his former utterances in re gard to the prosperity of -the United States, and added: "Now we are going on, I hope, t< great prosperity. We have had grea crops and everything is ready t< bring about a condition that ought t< fast many yea"s, a condition i which greater wealth shall be pro duced and dUatrlbuted, in which la bor shall receive good wages anc constant employment, and, therefore a condition in which we shall all be happy." President Taft then spoke of th< prospect for closer union betweer the North and the South under thb new administration. ua'lng: "I congratulate you, my friends on the prospect that in this admin. stration to come the South and the North may be brouant more closel: together. and the South may. natur tdly, have a wider influence because of4 the success of the Democratic 'arty."

LTYC RNG STILL A MYSTERY. The Coroner's Inquest Fails. to: Bed Light on the Case. The nystery shrouding tne identity of the little band, of men which took Jcha Felder from the Norway Jail Friday night and put him to death in the woods remains as much a m tery as ever. The coroner's inquest: held there under the direetioh foV Magistrate Tyler. has failed to 'd -. velop any clue to the men who broke down the jail door, took the negro out, carried 'hlms. to the wood~ and shot him to death. The verdict of the coroner's- jury was that Felder came to his death at the hands of unknown parties. sMag istrate Tyler, who has conducted a thorough investigation Into the kill ing, has been unable to find- any sign which might lead to the apprehension ,of the guilty parties. John F'elder was taken from the, Norway jail Friday night and shot to death. He wa~s in jail on-a charge or obtaining goods under false pretences from J. E. Leysath of North, bdt his employers, Guess & Son of Denmark, had settled the case. The two sons of the negro had urged that-he be be released before nightfall, stating their belief that harm would come-to hm were he left in the lockup during the night. They evidently knew something abuct the matter as they would not hae said what they did. Subsequent eret-showed that the fears they had as to their, fathers safety were well founded, and they should be made to tll on what their fears were based, Had they heard any threats made aainst him by shy one? Or were they cognizant of some other crime their father was guilty of for which they feared he would be severely dealt with? They should be made to tH all they know. ESGIteSING CLERKCS NAMED.
