MONDAY EVENING DEC. 9 1893. The sou of Lord Randolph Churchill has received the decora tion of the Red Cross for his ser vices and gallantry displayed in a recent engagement with the Span ish forces, against the rebels. The New York Mail and Express has given South Carolina a very flattering editorial notice on its display at the Atlanta exposition. It contrasts the products of to-day with those of a few years since, and thinks the State is in a fair way to be one of the most wealthy and prosperous in the Union. The whole State is aroused by the terrible murder in Colleton last week, and all agree that the severest penalty should be paid by those responsible for it. Not puly was it horrible in itself, but those who suffered death at their hands were not known to b® guilty of crime, only supposed to have stolen some articles of church fur niture. The following letter to the Columbia State from citizens at Folk’s Store is meant as a vin dication but fails in its purpose: To the Editor of the State: Several months ago the negro Isham Kearse attempted to crimi nally assault a married lady of good family in the vicinity of Jenny’s postoffice. He was further charged with burning Folks Bros’, store in upper Colleton. He was looked upon generally as an out law, and the white men of lower Barnwell and upper Colleton, aided by the negroes of that sec tion, have been exercising all dilli- gence to capture him. Their com bined efforts, however, proved fu tile until last Monday night. Re cently some petty theft was com mitted from St. Nichol’s church, and in following up the clues con nected with the same the long sought for Isham Kearse proved to be the thief, was located and captured. Upon careful investi gation Isham Kearse’s mother proved to be his accomplice, whereupon she was taken out and whipped. She was by no means as severely beaten as represented, but died from freezing, as testified to by Dr. Hires, who held the post mortem examinat'on. Her expos ure to the cold was her own fault, as on the following morning her tracks showed that she had left the scene of her chas tisement in the direction of her home, and after pursuing her course across ilia field for some distance she turned and went into the swamp and fel! in the water, where she was found. Isham Kearse was severely beaten, but not enough to cause death. He took from his pocket a bottle of whiskey and drank every drop of it. It can now be proved that he had stolen said bottle of whiskey from a negro in the neighborhood and that the same was doctored for his especial benefit by the dar key from whom he had stolen whiskey before. The parties who waited on these negroes had no idea of killing any body and none of them believed that they did, but that death in each case was from a combination of circumstances, as stated above. There are other mitigating cir cumstances which wfill be proven that put quite a new phase on this transaction, but at present the de fendants see fit not to divulge them. Folk’s Store, Dec. 7,1895. England’s Reply. Washington, Dec. 7.—The re ply of Lord Salisbury to Secre tary Olney’s note of instructions to Ambassador Bayard relative to the Venezuelan boundary dispute was delivered to Secretary Olney at noon to-day. Donaldson, the messenger of the British Embassy, came early to the State Depart ment this morning with a note from Sir Julian Pauncefote asking for an appointment to see the Secretary. This was arranged speedily for this morning and Sir Julian presented the note in ;per son to the Secretary, the Ambassa dor himself reading its contents to Mr. Olney, as is the custom when important documents are pre sented. For some reason the State De partment officials took steps to E revent the fact that the note had een delivered from gaining pub licity, but without avail. At the British Embassy there was the same indisposition to give any publicity to the proceedings. All inquiry as to the nature of the note failed to secure response from any official authority, and it prob ably will be preserved as an offi cial secret, as far as the Washing ton authorities are concerned, un til the President upon his return has had an opportunity to consider it and send it to Congress, but it is known that it is on the same general lines indicated in the As sociated Press dispatches of this week. If the care of the hair were made a part of a lady’s education, we should not see so many gray heads, and use of Hall’s Hair Itenewer would be unnecessary. .TLANTIC COAST LINE.
