^lowingtrS Ti the Ytvif Mei of tk Soatk Dviag Ike Chrfl War Period THE BRAVEST AND BEST ll?T. E. A. Osborne Makes Interesting Oompariston Between the Spirit of the South and the Conditions at the Time of the War With Those of the Present. At a meeting In Charlotte, N". C.. by the Confederate Veterans on Monday to pay tribute to the memory of i\uuiiiiti <\ai |iu kwiuun-it. luu grcui Confederate naval hero, many excellent speeches were made. Rt. Rev. E. A. Ot borne spoke with reference to the spirit of the young men of the South during the civil war period and the exalted type of leader* produced, whch he does not believe could be duplicated today under similar conditions. "Perhaps thiB country will never produce again," he began, "just such a race of men as that which lived iu the last century. Especially does one feel this to be true of the great leaders of the South. We may produce as great men or greater men even in different directions, for the world is growing. Humanity is not diminishing ut all in Its powers, it Is developing under Christian civilization. But the conditions under which Semmes and the other groAt leaders were born and reared were peculiar and hav? now passed away. Especially was this 60 of the South. 1 don't suppote that a more patriotic race of men ever lived than that which peopled the South. Their life was rustic, simple, plain, unpretentious. These are the very conditions that are calculated to produce the spirit of daring, self-reliance and manhood. They produced those splendid qualities of human nature. "The Southern army illustrated that. It was not a well-disciplined army. It was not a remarkably well drilled army, but it was one of men ?men who loved freedom, men who loved their homes, men who loved constitutional liberty, men who loved their own simple life. They didn't care much about money. It was uot a money-making age in the South, with one or two exceptions. Here and there a fortune had been accumulated, of course. But the VRflt m Q inrlf r r?f fKo man I? . uuHjvut; Wk UiCU iU wuc Southern army were of limited means; men who owned little homes in the country. To own the soil la a necessary condition of patriotism. Commercial men who do not own their homes or who are so much interested in business that they spend little time at home do- not possess the same love of horns and country that rural life produces. They want to live and enjoy their wealth, too. The man who owns his little home in the country, whose living depends on his tilling of the soil, lives for his home and his family end will yield the Inst drop of blood in his body to resist any invasion by hostile forces. "And so. while we have a passionate. tender and romantic love for the South." continued Colonel Osborno, "I doubt very much if under similar conditions today we would be nble to produce as strong examples of cournge, fortitude and daring. 1 believe we, especially the people of North Carolina, are a warlike race. 1 ro not believe there is one more so on the American continent. When the United States called for troops in the war with Spain the young men of the South hurried lorwarn. n wua my privilege to be with them for a time. I saw the same enthusiasm which I had seen 4 0 years before. Hut I saw also a different elate of men. a different spirit and a different state of morals from that which prevailed on the previous occasion. I cannot but doubt if they would have shown the same dash, the same absolute confidence in the rectitude of their cause and in their duty to fight. "It thrills my soul with a peculiar sensntion to think of the wonderful genius that led tho Southern armies. Very likely the world will never witness again such a brilliant galaxy of men. Christian men. of cultivated minds, broad and deep learning, soldiers, who trusted in I tbe Triune Ood for the justice of their cause and willingly laid their lives on the altar. "I shall never forget the feeling of pride and joy the soldiers of the Confederacy felt when they thought of the glorious Scmmes dominating the broad ocean and bringing terror to the enemy. While the hosts of United Stntes ships were hovering about the coasts keeping out what little bit of commerce tho South might have received, this one man was frightening the fhlps of the ene my oui or meir wits." Killed in Runaway. MIfb Ida Harrol, the fourteen-year, old daughter of Mr. M. J. Harrel, a prominent farmer, living three miles from Quitman, Ga., was Instantly killed Monday afternoon by belns thrown from a buggy. Miss Harrell and her cousin were driving home from school, when the boree became frightened and ran away. The other young lady succeeded In stopping the frightened horse after he bad ran nearly a mile. Twelve Perish. 1 Six survivors of a crew of elgh. , een men arc aboard winter quarters j light ship, the remaining twelve hav- , ing perished, according to a report j made by Capt.

A rumor got out last week among the children in lower Jersey City schools that threats had been made to blow up the school with dynamite. The children had been particularly nervouB about it, and when the bombs went off suddenly, they ran from the recitation rooms into the halls and down the stairways. There are two street doorways but one of them was closed. At tho .dosed entrance there occurred a disastrous Jam. Here several of the smaller children were trampled Into unconsciousness while others ran back into the building and sprang through open windows 15 feet to an ?roway below. Policemen and passersby, attracted by the cries, rushed to the scene, but order was not restored until 14 children had been seriously hurt. A report spread quickly that there were eight dead and hundreds of mothers mingled in the crowd, mourning, weeping and adding to the general confusion. This is not the first riot of its kind in Jersey City is the children of the foreign element are constantly in fear of the "black hand." CURTAILS MAYOR'S POWERS. fudge AJdrlcli Renders an Important I>ecisiuu. An appeal case from tho mayor's court Involving an important question of Jurisdiction, was decided before Judge Aid rich in the Sessions court at Anderson last week. The appeal was from a decision of the mayor Imposing a fine of one hundred dollars or thirty days for selling whiskey, and the decision reversed the mayor. Appellant's counsel took the position that the mayor's court had no jurisdiction to try a defendant charged with selling whiskey, maintaining that the mayor had only concurreut jurisdiction with the magistrate, and that, as the statutes gave a magistrate no jurisdiction to try such a case tho mayor was bound by the jaine statute's limitation. The general statutes give the mayor of the city the same powers as a magistrate. and it was argued by counsel for the defense that a city counsel ould not extend by ordinance the jurisdiction defined by the Leglsture. The decision of Judge Aldrich in ase it lo sustained by the Supreme ourt will be of the most far reaching consequences. It might seriously hamper the enforcemeut of the liqour law in every town and city in the Itate. All that the police department of a city could do would be to make arrests and have warrants issued by a magistrate. The magis imm wouia men. If upon a preliminary hearing the evidence war-ants it. send the case up to the Ses dons court for trial. The decision has attracted a great deal of interest here. The city will appeal to the Supreme court, and a decision of that tribunal will be awaited with general interest over the State. BANK STATEMENT ISSUED.

The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says following a conference last week between the winding-up commission of the old State dispensary and the representatives of the Bernhetm Distilling Company, of Louisville, Ky., the company Monday announced that it will refund to the State overcharges on liquor amounting to $30,000. The company, which was represented before the old State board of control by James S. Farnum, acquitted Saturday of bribing Jos. B. Wylie, thea a member of the purchasing board, to give the concerns represented by Farnum the preference in purchasihg liquors, admits the overcharges and says It is willing to mako good this much of the State's loss. The refund is voluntary on the part of the company, as the old State dispensary board of control had effected a complete settlement with the concern before the winding-up commission took charge of the affair of the dispensary when the institution was legislated out of existance. and the company never has put Id a claim for money due It for the liquors sold to the dispensary, as lias been done by many of the other houses, which had been awarded contracts for liquors. Attorney General Lyons was asked about the matter. He said that the facts In the case were that the Bernhelm Distilling Company had offered to the dispensary commission $30, 000, and that the money Is on deposit in the Louisville banks. The fact that this company wished to turn over this large sum of money came over the telephone from the Atlanta firm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson. It is understood, though not obtained officially. that the Atlanta firm secured the settlement, but it atso appears that the money comes voluntary. The matter iH settled now, and the money belongs to the State of South Carolina. The remarkable part of the whold transaction Is that the Rernheim firm had no claim agaiust the State of South Carolina. The money that the State owed this firm had been previously paid up and the books were closed. To offer $3 0,000 and then to turn the money over is clearly an admission that there were overcharges. Although there had been a genera) underatanding that some of the whiskey firms might possibly "cough up" this transaction is a new one in its nature. It Is known James S. Farnum represented the Rernheim firm here during the days of the State dispensary. In the recent trial of Mr. Farnum it was mentioned in the testimony that this was one of the firms that he represented. The payment of $30,000 to the 8tate Is ~ - - J ? - ? * ? iaivt-11 an ail iiu III l!fiun Illlil I116 Mtftte was overcharged at least this much and that rebates were paid. This Is the only difference that can be drawn. Aside from the fact that the money has been tendered the State, It was very difficult to obtain any official information. It was known recently that there was a secret meeting of the dispensary commission and very probably this matter came up at the time. There is speculation as to what effect that >30.000 "money" tender will have upon the alleged graft trials. The effect upon the other can easily be guessed, though, that no immunity is guaranteed when tho commission accepts the >30,000. It might be added, however, that another rood guess is that one of the Bernheim people would he prosecuted. The proposition they advance is fair enough on its face, a return to the State of >30,000, when no claim is outstanding, and this in comparision with a figuring upon the alleged rebate schedule that would look something like >40.000 for alleged overcharges. That looks pretty good for South Carolina. This case that is brought today i* but one of the many matters that the State dispensary investigation has brought about. What the mora.' effect will be canr.1t be estimated, but the State of South Cntulina ?s >30,000 to the good. As brought out before the dispensary winding-up commission the Bernheim Company was one of the trio including alpo the Big Four people, and one other concern, all of which the commission "aa uitiposea to ciass as one concern. In the present transaction a conference of attorneys was held. and many r>tbor details wblcb probably will be brought otrt later. Mads Him HotnesfrkAt a diplomatic reception In Washington.

Notwithstanding the fact that they were seriously handicapped during ' the past season in meeting their financial obligations, and in the realization of that prosperity that is rightfully theirs, by the distressingly low price of cotton, yet the farmers of the South can easily overcome these grave difficulties by a more marked adherence to the principles of their different organizations in the future than in the past, says Paul Williams in the Maron Telegraph. The fact has been demonstrated that the thing for the Southern farmer to do in order to obtain a legitimate price for his cotton is to bring himself to the point where he can hold it just us long as he wants to. but before this can be done it is absolutely necessary that he raise his food products at home. This Is the main thing to do in order to make Southern agricultural conditions assume a more satisfactory aspect. Let the Southern farmer immediately resort to the wisdom and advisability of raising his own food supplies instead of depending for them upon the Western farmers, and a wonderful change will be brought about in the agricultural situation down South. In fact, such n wonderful change that the cotton market will nearly always present a bullish aspect, beceuse the control of the price of the fleecy staple will have been wrested from the grasp of the Wall street manipulators and placed in the control of tin Southern farmers. Then there will be no repetition of the very unsatisfactory and deplorable conditions that existed to such a striking extent last fall, tremen dously handicapping the farmers in cancelling their pecuniary obligation?. No bills will have to be carried over for another year, but debts will be paid promptly, and farmers, bankers, merchants and others interested will enjoy the splendid prosperity that is the Inevitable result of the farmer being his own boss. Many a farmer Joins the Unlou thinking that a membership in the organization ia all that is necessary in obtaining satisfactory results from their farming operations. They don't seem to realize that unless they carry out their obligation as representatives of that organization they will never come into the possession of the manifold bleseings and benefits that must inevitably result from a full discharge of the duties and obligations that rest upop them as members of that organization. Unleaa they remain steadfastly in their loyalty to the principles of the Union, every fall they will be confronted by the awful realization tha? necessity forces them to surrender to the cotton manipulators of Wall street in order to meet their commercial obligations with the banker* and merchants and others with whom they have dealings. This surrender means low prices for their cotton and the consequent disasters attendant upon it. The agricultural mirror in the South reflects a very sad state of affairs, indeed. It reflects the heart-rending spectacle of thousands upon thousands of farmers bowing dowu to tho pro res-sionai gamblers of Wall street, suffering the terrible and almost unbearable humiliation and mortification of having others dictate th-? price of the products that they have raised by the sweat of their brows It reflects the sad picture of the 'farmers having to mortgage their homes and plantations In order to alienate the terror of low priced cotton. It shows the aristocratic gentlemen of Wall street growing rich off the labors of the Southern farmers, buying their cotton of their own prices and then coining million* of the silver wheels by gambling and speculating with the fleecy staple. It reffects the sad picture of the Southern tillers of the soil losing millions and millions of dollars annually because of the dictation of the price of cotton by the professional gamblers that dwell in Wall street, and It reflects thousands of other equally as sad and humiliating pictures. Ily a little more progressl.-ene^s and energy on the part of our Southern farmers their mirror could bo made to reflect vastly different pictures. It would reflect the noble, commanding spectacle of thousands upon thousands of the sturdiest nnd most progressive farmers on the face of the globe developing and utilizing the wonderful agricultural possibilities of the South to such an extent as would enable thorn to en JUJ J7J \ir vrfi I, y, rUDICDlOPQl BUG 111 dependence to quite an eminent degree, raising tholr own food supplies and not making a specialty of ootton aod consequently living In complete and glorious independence of tbe W811 street mercenaries, enthusiastically and professionally promulgating the principles of their various organizations. developing among themselves tbe highest Ideals of civilization and Christianity and thus making the beautiful Southland tbe richest and tbe most, prosperous and tbe most enlightened section of the globe.

D rMr White Vet Arrested fir Wttppag i cj( Negro Mia to Death hi ??? ar HAN WAS ILL AND DIED ^ rho Ijaw Abiding Citizens Are Very Much Aroused and the Governor Called Upon to Act?The Evidence in Not Convincing That the Whipping Caused Death. The State says a report by a prominent citizen of Greenwood county to Gov. Ansel's office reveals a state of affairs at Dyson, near Ninety-Six, that demands immediate investigation. According to this report a negro died as a result of injuries indicted by a severe whipping, and the magistrate, James Rogers, held an inqueBt at which a verdict of "deatli from natural causes" or "heart disease" was brought in. The case as reporte<L-to Secretary Bethea. Gov. Ansel being out of the city, was that the negro, who had ~ worked for Henry Williamson, a farmer, had been arrested charged % with violation of contract and taken h to Greenwood Jail. Last Saturday he was taken back by the men who placed him there and Saturday night the negro dledx a Some of the law-abiding cltlzoni " in the community determined to take up tho matter with the State authorities and as a result Mr. Bethea, on hearing of the facts, at once telephoned Sheriff McMillan. The sheriff stated that he knew nothing of ? the arrival or departure of the pris- < oner. He promised to investigate n the matter at once. a The particulars of the whipping e is given in a dispatch from Green- c wood to The State. The dispatch says four white men. Henry K. Wll- p liamson, Sloan Williamson, Ashby ' mug ana sam \v. Cooper. wore ar- 8 rested and lodged in jail by Sheriff h McMillan on the charge of having p canted the death of a negro. (Jus ^ GPcrease, near Dyson's last Friday j by whipping him. p An inquest was held Saturday by ri Magistrate JatncH Rogers of Ninety- ti Six. An old negro named Robin- v son testified at the inquest, but stat- ,] ed that he knew nothiug of the mat- r tor Dr. John Lyon of Ninety-Six txnmined the body, with Magistrate t> Rogers, and saw the marks of whip- _ ping, but nothiug further developed. However, later ihe old negro Robiu on came to Capi. James Rogers, the magistrate, and told him that he had ^ not told the i-uth, that he knov he was a dead man if he to id the truth, but he had to tell the truth. He then told that the four inen above named had whipped the dead p?gru and that he afterwards dropped dead. Magistrate Rogers sent the old negro on to Greenwood and he is now in I jail. Gov. Ansel wired Sheriff McMillan to look into the matter with all " possible diligence and nlso wired > Magistrate Rogerr. Sheriff McMillan went to Ninety-Six aud Maj. S. P. ; Brooks, foreman of the grand Jury, also weut down to Ninety-Six, and they consulted with Magistrate Rog- ers and other citizens there, and I Sheriff McMillan placed the Wllliara ons under arrest -there. Ashby King and Sam Cooper were in town and were arrests here. Henry K. Williamson is the young man who ~ had to serve two years in the peni- *J tentlary for the whipping of J. H. Wertz, now living in Greenwood, then a neighbor of Williamson's. The correspondent interviewed all four men now under arrest and they " deny tho chargo made against them. They slate that they did not whip the negro. Two of them. Cooper and King, say they were not with the Williamsons but a short time, having met them in the road, that the negro got out of the buggy and started to the field to work and * dropped, that Henry Williamson went to him and asked him what was the matter and the negro said he was sick; that the negro got up and started ofT again and dropped again, that they carried him to his sister's house and that Henry Williamson sent for a doctor, hut the negro died soon after. Henry Williamson had the negro, under contract hut he ran away about three months ago. He gave a description of Mm to different chiefs ot police in adjoining towns | and last Thursday the negro was arretted in Greenwood by Chief McCoinlis. Williamson was in town Friday on his way home from a show at Abbeville und was told by Chief McCombs that t6e negro was there.
