FLORENCE. S. C..
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.
