Ohio, Hearst chat-god the Republican party Mith being the beneficiary of the tntst corruption. He said he had legal evidence and documentary proof. Hearst then read four letters from Archbold, John D. Rockefeller^ right-hand man, to Senator Foraker. of Ohio, who is now n member o! the United States Senate. The first Jotter refers to two bills, one mentioned as house bill number 500, li relation to foreign corporation* against which he desired a demon?. titration made. Following it. 17 day* later, the second letter refers to th? senator's favor for $15,000. The third refers to "Another very objectionable bill," which he hoped then would be no difficulty In killing Tho fourth Is as follows: "Twenty-six Urondway, April 17 1900. "My Dear Senntor: 1 enclose yoi Certificate? of deposit to your favo. tof $14,500.

"It had not then become disc red itable, but was considered just tin reverse to be employed by such corporations." Hearst Replies. At St. I.ouls, Mr.. Hearst on Friday night in a speech said: "Mr. Foraker replies in characteristic Republican manner. He ad mlta that lie did serve the Standnri Oil and is proud of it. His stati nient is based on letters I read las night. if h?- had seen the letter ' am going to read tonight, ho woub have denied the whole matter." The first letter follows: "26 Rvoadwoy, New York, Januas.v 27. 1902.

'My I>ear Senator: I venture tr write you a word re the bill Introduced by Senator Jones, of Arkansas. known as S. Gift. Intended tr amend the Act "To protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies." etc.. introduced by him December 4. it really seems as though this bill is very unnecessarily severe, ant' even vicious. Is it not much better to test the application of the Sherman Act before resorting to a measure of this kind? T hope you will feel so about it and I will be greatly pleased to have a word from you on ?be subject. The hill is, 1 believe, still in committee. "With kind regard., yours very truly. .JOHN D.

VMV |ilU- V posed arrest or the cause therefor, c but several of the leading citizens P of Ninety-Six were fully aware of the situation, and the bringing of the negroes to Greenwood was de- v elded upon as the best method to r proceed in a lawful and Orderly mantier. Saturday evening auotlier *' negro was arrested and brought there. u on the same charge. The negroes t"; first arrested are: I\ It. Dean, S. h T T. .lacksou, a preacher, Jas. Step- * hens. Anderson Stephens. Ed liarris, Tom Bishop. Davego Williams, r, Wayniau Jackson. John Calhoun, p Zeke Chappell, another preacher, and 11 Wade Williams.

On that day a certain uegro it in Greenwood received by mistake a '1 letter addressed to another negro In L Greenwood, and that letter, upon *1 which the whole case hangs, as It ' < were, is the most Important docu- tr meat and development in the whole w affair. The great question is. is the V letter genuine or a t'uke?

This party, a negro, states that ca he started to put the leter hack iu u the poBtotflce, but remitting the seri- k ons nature of Its coutents. he turn-ia ed it over io Ohi"f bt Police Mc- j fi Combs. The chief of police inime- n dialely consulted with Sheriff McMu- in Ian and these two with several other ? representative citizens began the in- u vestlgation. ? The negro why had received the h letter, having himself been a resident of Ninety-Six was most elosely questioned, lie let it be known that [| he knew something of what was or j, had been going on among the color- tl ed people at Ninety-Six. Expressing w fear fbr his bwh safety he was reluc- n tant to divulge anything. Repeated s Miu'tiiioning unaiiy ovougni out tt)ejp statement that two negoe societies at i r Ninety-Six had been indulging in In- ; t-, denciary talk against the whites in j s their secret orders tor some time. | v These talks had boon more frequent e and more violent since the recent r trouble at Ninety-Six, as the result q of the local election on the matter of r issuing bonds to build a school bouse. f The negro did not connect any white person at all with these talks, but , -tuted that the talks wore original | with the negroes and confined ex-1 iclusively to their own secret orders ' i He stated that the negro Odd Kel- j low's Lodge at Ninety-Six was takI ing an active interest In the matter, (as were the members of another se- fl eret society among the negroes, known, as the "Knights of the Guid- 1 ing Star of the Kast." He stated that j1 a committee from each of thesej< lodges had heert appointed to have a t conference with each other as to the J 1 purchase of guns, and to do certain i 'other things, i-o he had been inform-11 led. j' After considerable parleying lie ;( consented to go to Ninety-Six and attend the meeting of the negro Old j c Fellows on Thursday night, this he ing their regular meeting to-night, j. ite stated before going that he did j not know whether he wou.u he allow-1' led to get in the lodge or not. as he j 1 was behind in his dues. Money was I < given him to pay up his dues and he left Greenwood tor Ninety-Six. On:. Friday he returned and as proof of the I, fae? that he had he?~n to Ninety-Six j .aud had attended fhc meet-1 j ing. he brought hark with him his membership card on which the pay- . mcut of hi- dues bud been receipted i and dated at Ninety-Six the night before, and countersigned by the regular officers of the lodge, who were residents of Ninety-Six. This negro reported to those who had sent hint that he attended the ' meeting of the lodge and that after Lhe regular business had been disposed of in the lodge an executive cession was called. That he asked .0 be allowed to remain to this ex- ^ jcutive session, but that he was not illowed to remalu until he had made i lierce denunciatory speech agaiust he whites. Aftor that he was allowed to take part in the executive seaIon. At this session all of the facts onnected with the proposed beginn- 0 ng of the fight were discussed aud d our white citizens of Ninety-Six d cere named as victims. As was sug- .1 ;ested in the letter to Hnrtie liar- ^ is, published above, it was stated hat the white people of Ninety-Six 11 could blame any shooting that might sf ake place on the Tolberts, aud that w be negroes would uot be suspected. *Vw? fAltr man ? ** IVUI lUVti OCICVIVU Wfrf Wfll nowu citizens of Ninety-Six and il n ias stated that others might he ^ hosen later, such developments de- le endlug on the outcome of the first I'c euture. It was also stated that the m Lev. Jackson, mentioned lu the let- vc >*r, had raised a fund of $7 0 towards buying a dozen Winchester itles lu Savannah, Go. The plan of tli ettlng these rifles to Ninety-Six was qi tso discussed. -h Some years ago some little excite- to lent was caused at Ninety-Six by the ar ict that some eight or ten negroes th ad ordered Winchester rifles. In hese negroes stated that they wished st aeui for protection against rowdy e?j lumbers of their own race. They ca adlly gave theni up When the white ed eople demanded them and thus the sn latter euded. Having this episode pr mind the negroes stated that it vc ould nut he safe to have any guns ju lipped to Ninety-Six, so it was pro- if Dsed to have a young negro, named ho avega Williams, one of those now ?u i jail, and a son of Wade Williams, ex le secretary of the Odd Fellows' pa odge, go to Savannah to purchase ue ie guus.

The opinion w?,s rittcn by Judge James K. Hojd. of 've.isboro, N*. C., and was coueur d in by his associates, Judge Kdund Waddlll and Chief Justice Fulr.
