"You were apparently misled by deslgining men into a serious blunder whou. In the closing days of the tariff conference, they induced you to reverse your previous attitude on print paper, and changed your notions of what the Mann committee recommended and of what the house of representatives had approved.

The question of the broadening of women's lives through giving them added responsibilities is easily the most talked about subject before the mission board.

BUND TIGERS "| 7HARGED WITH KILLING THE MAYOR OF NEWPORT. I. J. Sander* and His Brother Arrested in Newport, N. C., for Asi Hushination of Fearless Officials. At Beaufort. N. C., the grand Jury Monday brought in a bill of murder igainat S. J. Sanders, who had been irested for the death of II. Z. Newberry of Newport. N.

Sanders is locked In the Carter sounty jail, while his brother, U. P\ Sanders, also is nnder arrest, held is an accessory. The prlsouers were carried to Beaufort by Sheriff Hancock, after a coroner's jury at Newport had returned .a verdict that Mayor Newberry's death resulted from gunshot wounds inflicted by S. J. Sanders and that his brother also was implicated in the shooting. The assassination of Mayor Newberry was the direct outcome, it is said, of the prosecution of "blind tiger" cases. The mayoi recently had had several persons arrested for illegally selling whiskey and four of the men, including the two Sanders brothers, were bound over for court at Beaufort next Monday. It Is alleged threats have been made against the mayor's life and after his assassination Saturday night suspicion was directed to the Sanders brothers. Great excitement prevailed in Newport after the trag"dy occurred Saturday night. Requests for blood-1 hounds were sent to Tarboro and the road in front of the mayor's home was roped off in hope that the dogs might be able to reaclly pick up the scent and lead the authorities to the assassins. The dead man's wife was ill in bed at the time of the murder and his little daughter stood by his side when he was shot. Word of the shooting was sent to Beaufort and County Solicitor Abernethv, accompanied by Sheriff Hancock, and a coroner's jury, went to Newport in a special train. .Upon arrival of the train at Newport the Sanders brothers were arrested and later the coroner's jury ordered them held. TO MARK THEIR GRAVES. Northerners to Ik* Honored Who Stood by the South. A special from Aiken says Mr. C. K. Henderson is receiving subscriptions for a fund to erect a monument to mark the grave of the Rev. S. P. T. Fields and his wife, whose remains lie in unmarked graves in the cemetery of the Methodist church in that city. The Rev. Fields was for many years a resident of the city. He was in Aiken duriug the reconstruction period. Coming from the North at this time, it was but natural to suppose that he would align himself wtlh the Republican sympathizers, but instead he stood firmly by the Bide of the white people and was a lending factor in the ranks of the Southern whites in '7 6. Now his remains lie In un unmarked grave. His relatives are poor and unable to erect monuments to these good people, and consequently Mr. Henderson is endeavoring to raise a sufficient amount to mark their g Eaves. SEVEN MEN KILLED.

The Washington Herald says the Knignts of Labor of that city, after participating in one of the most remarkable demonstrations ever accorded a returning leader on Wednesday of last week, are now awaiting a decision of the court of appeals in the noted Gompers-Mitchell-Morrisou contempt case and in discussing the virtual challenge to the courts uttered by Samuel Gomoers on the platform at Convention hall Wednesday night. After speaking of the labor candidates In Europe. Mr. Gompers said: "Hut we are passing through a crucial period in our own country. I refer to the instance possibly in I your own minds tonight. One of the speakers, I believe it was Mr. l)e Nedrey, referred to an impending court decision. Well, I was under the impression that this was to be rendered a week ago, but 1 understand that bereavement in the family of one of the honorable judges delayed it for one week. I thought that week to have been up today. By one of our papers 1 see that probably the decision is to be rendered tomorrow. "All I can say, and all any one can say with becoming dignity and understanding of the gravity of the situation and the care with which one must use words, is that I am sure that nothing I might utter tonight would influence in any way a decision which probably has already been reached and for the delivery of which the judges are but awaiting an opportune moment. "I have the greatest respect for the judiciary of our country. I have confidence in their iutegrity, no matter what their decision may be. 1 know that they ars *nen, human beings, and just as liable to err as any other man on earth, aud I say this with respect not only to the three justices of the district court of appeals who have no doubt already reacuea tneir decision. but with reference to the judiciary generally. ' 1 have no heBltency in saying that it is my conviction that not only did Judge Wright err, hut that he was prejudiced against the men who were before him. "It has been hinted that higher courts may take cognizance of all the facts in the case and treat it. if so desired or deemed proper, in the nature of original proceedings, modifying the sentences of the lower court. "J do not want to be a hero or a near-hero; I have no desire to be bombastic or defiant, but I say this advfisudty and with knowledge of the full responsibility it conveys, that in so far as I am concerned, and I think 1 also speak for John Mitchell and Frank Morrison?I believe the imposition of a lighter sentence will not alter the case one Jot: Either we have free speech and free press in this country?or we have not. The imposition of a fine of one cent or imprisonment of one hour for the utterance of a man's conscience and faith would amount to a denial of the right of free speech and free press. "I shall not attempt to argue the case. I content myself with the hold, plain utterance that the constitutional guarantee of free speech and free press were put in the constitution for a purpose. It was not necessary that wo be given this privilege for the purpose of singing the praises of the powers that be. No man needs a constitutional guarantee in Russia to sing the praises of the czar. "The history of the human race was full of tyranny and the denial to the people of the right of expressing by mouth or in press their opinions. When our people established a government they remembered these and recalled that they had omitted this vital question in framing our constitution. Therefore, the tlrst amendment to that instrument was that guaranteeing the right of freedom of speech and press. "That means something. We do not need thiH right to please those in authority, those entrusted for the time being with the authority of government. It was guaranteed that men might feel free to say things that displeased, and deutniul for reform coming from the people is generally always distasteful to those entrusted with governmental authority. "We do not want to ho immune from responsibility for our statements and if that has been said which is treason or libelous, then try us for what we have said: but we deny to Wine or to ron r# iK- -'-u' -w ?UU|1 Nil llgU' IU enjoin us in advance from exprossing the views wc have. "Whether the court of appeals shall sustain the appeal or whether it shall not will make a vast difference. If our contention is maintained, wo shall have fought over again and shall have?to use an Americanism? 'cinched' the right of free speech and free press for all time. "Should the court take a different x iew and sustain even in part the bentencn of Judge Wright?it does not make any difference whether the sentence is for twelve months, nine months, six months or three minutes, two minutes or one minute?the fight must go on uutll freedom of speech and press is obtained.

The State says Denis Weiskopf, president of the Nivlsson, Wieskopf Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, was in Columbia Monday and gave bond for $10,000 to appear here in January to answer to the charge of conspiracy to defraud the State, perjury and bribery.

The investigating committee at that time put in evidence (he claim that the State was overcharged about $25,000.

I IAS DONE A GREAT WORK for the Educational Intcrest? of , South Carolina and the South as ^ 1'resident of Wolford College, Which Office lie Filled Over Forty Years. The following bulletin was Issued Tuesday afternoon from Spa.tanburg' >y the attending physician of Dr. J. | H. Carlisle: "The condition of Dr. I lames H. Carlisle Is extremely crlti-I sal, and un'ess something unforeseen happens his passing away can only j be delayed a little while." (Signed) H. R. Black. M. D. This bulletion was followed by a dispatch to The News and Courier Tuesday afternoon which said Dr. James H. Carlisle, president emeritus of WofTord College, is dying. It is thought he will not survive until morning, though he may last, until Wednesday night. For several days it was known to the intimate friends and members of Dr. Carlisle's family that ho was in a critical condition, though his condition did not become known to the public until a few days ago. when he had a severe fainting spell. Since thnt time he has been growing gradually weaker, and early this morning lie lost consciousness. Up to this morning his mind was clear and active, except when he was seized with an attack of fainting. Wnen it became known Tuesday morning that I)r. Carlisle was dying all the members of bis family and his relatives were summoned to hiH hontc, and they have remained at the homo constantly waiting and watching for tho end. In his last momenta the great educator and man of Cod does not appear to suffer the least pain. He lies in his bed as quiet and peaceful as a sleeping child. Dr. Carlisle was elected prosident of WofTord College in 187r>, and served until 1902, when he became president emeritus. Long before he became the president of the college he was connected with the eollee'* as professor of mathematics. When he resigned as president he did not give up active work, for he remained as member of Ihn ' .--a _ ...w .u. unj, ami Kuve leciure" on astronomy and the Bible. Last winter he was forced to give up his class room work on account of the cold weather, and the condition of his health. The last time Dr. Carlisle delivered a public address was during the session of the Wofford College Summer School, when he made an interesting talk to the teachers on incidents connected with Washington's visit to South Carolina after being elected President. The commencement at Wofford last June was the first Dr. Carlisle had missed since 1854, when he was elected a member of the faculty. The absence of his familiar face and figure was noticed and commented on by the people who for years have attended the commencements of the institution. Dr. Carlisle was indisposed during the commencement sea-1 son and unable to attend. Dr. Carlisle is one of two survivors of the Ordinance of Secession. Several times during the last twenty years he was offered high offices in the nation and State, but he declined to enter politics, his work being for the young men of the country. On the 80th anniversary of the birth of l)r. Carlisle hundreds of citizen of Spartanburg formed into line and marched to his home on the Co'lege campus and congratulated him on his birthday and thanked him for the influence of his life he had lived in Spartanburg, which the speaker of the oecasiou, J. Stobo Simpson, i^sq., declared had been uplifting to the young men and men of mature years as well. RAN INTO STKEKT CAR Which was Itcinolishcd and Two Ladles Were Killed. At Columbus. Ga.. Mrs. W. O.
