GOT MR. RAGSDALE? Washington, Cct. 6-Through negrc publications, printed'in Washington and elsewhere in the United States open statements were made today tha' the life of congressman James C Byrnes of the Second South Carolina in the huse might be forfeited at ar early date for his marked antagonism to ‘the negro race and especially foi his recent uterances on the floor o the house on the negro question. These publications openly and shamelesslj and without any reason whatever de Clare that the life of the late Represer tative James Willard Ragsdale of the Sixth South Carolina district, who died suddenly in thCs city on July 23 1H9, was caused by them and tha' “the long arm of the society (the Bor gia) will k>on reach Mr. Byrnes.* There were also anoymous comma nitrations received by Mr. Byrnes to day which have been laid before thf United States deparim«»t .of JuslU;£. Threatening Letter Among these was the following: Writhe and sqifirm it shows the shaf writhe and squirm it stows the shaf? has sunk deeply. When you depai from the straight path of legislature for cotton and crackers then your names go on the list of the proscribed ^Ragesdale became obnoxious am’ the long arm of the society reached out and clutched him. An accommo dating doctor certified heart failure. v “TTie shadow of the society is hover ing over you and if it descends am envelopes you there will be another vacancy 'in anther South Carolina dir tricL Ofte big four alliance sits at Paris’, another sits elsewhere. You Southerners initiated the terror and terror it shall be. Your gage has been picked up.’’ Mr. Ragsdale died about the time of the recent race riots in Washington He visited the offices’ of his Washing ton physlean afidwhole seated in r chair in the latter’s office suddenly ex pired. The coroner of the District of Columbia held an autopsy and render ed a verdict that the deceased came to his death from “acute dilation of the heart. It was just about the same time that Mr- Byrnes made a spech on the floor of the house n the negro ques tion. Shortly after this speech he be gan fo receive many insulting letters frpm anonymous writers throughout th* country and although they threi- eqed to “get even with him,’> none of them went quite so far as to say that he would receive the same measure of treatment as that wrfich the “socie ty had just meted out’ to his colleague the late Congressman Ragsdale. Secret Service Men.Active. Mr. Byrnes took the matter before the government authorities and it is understood that secret service men have been on the trail of the anony mous writers and that some of them may be landed behind the bars as a result of the investigation: The allusion to Md Ragsdale, shows the bragging methods employed by these negro publications and writers to frighten Mr. Byrnes and others who may think as he does concerning the negro question. just why the postmaster general should continue to permit .nese pub lications to go through the mails, sooner or later, must cause strife and bloodshed between the races is not knoku hut the sooner they are exclud ded the better it will be for whoes and blacks, is the opinion expressed here. P. H. McGowan in the State. ST. JOHN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

Birds Driven by Storms. Certain instances of birds found singly far to the north of their usual range are possibly to be explained by the whirl of cyclonic storms. The wind, turning counter clockwise, blows oft shore In the south and carries the bird out to .ses. But, sooner or later, if the bird has the good fortune to last out the experience, the farther spin of the storm tends to bring him ashore again.
