GOOD STEALING ENDS Last Monday Was the Anniversary of Hampton's Triumph and Chamberlain's Downfall?United States Troops Removed From the State House on April 10, 1877. Monday was the anniversary of the emancipation of the State of South Carolina from the rule of negroes and carpet-baggers. Thirty-four years ago Monday D. H. Chamberlain, the radical governor, formally relinquished the control of the executive office to Wade Hampton. The United States troops were removed from the State house after five months' occupancy, and white rule ? ? RapniigtriirHnn rlavs the premiere days of good stealing, were at an end. The following from The State will he read with interest: Wade Hampton was elected governor of South Carolina on November 7, 1876. D. H. Chamberlain, th*. radical candidate, refused to give up the offiee. A detachment of the United States soldiers were p'aced in the State house to protect him. Hampton and the other Democratic 8tate officers installed themselves In the old Carolina hall, destroyed o> fire two years ago; and refused to recognize the Chamberlain regime. In March, 1877, Hampton and Chamberlain both went to Washington to lay their respective claims to the office of governor of South Carolina before President HayeB and his cabinet. Hampton's claims were recognized. On April 2, 1877, President Ha"es Instructed the secretary of war to order the troops, quartered in the State house under Gen. Rugers, to remove tn their ramn "It ends the fitrue gle,'1 said Chamberlain, "and makes Hampton practically governor." After the order was issued, Gov. Hampton wired to W. D. Simpson in Columbia: "Everything is satisfactorily and honorably settled. I expect our people to preserve absolute peace and quiet. My word is pledged for them. I rely on them." His reliance wae not misplaced. The men who had put him in office in November did not make even a demonstration. Hampton left Washington on April V 5, 1877, for Columbia. He was met In Charlotte by a delegation of some 60 citizens. On April 7, Hampton, "the liberator," reached his capital. A magnificent celebration was arranged to welcome him to Columbia. Two batteries of artillery fired salutes every minute after his train rolled Into the old depot at the end of Blanding street. The stre-t, "half way to High street," was massed with people and vehicles. A procession was formed at the depot, Gov. Hampton and the State officials leading in carriages and followed by numerous military companies, the old Columbia volunteer fire companies and other organizations. The procession went up Blanding stret and down M^ln to Carolina hall, where Gov. Hampton delivered an address. The next two days were uneventful, but on April 10 Gov. Hampton wrote as follows to GnamDeriain: "State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. "Columbia, S. C., April 10. 1877. "Sir: Having learned that you now propose to turn over v*? me the executive chamber with the record and papers belonging to the executive office, now in your possession, I beg to inform you that 1 will send a proper officer to receive the same at any hour you may indicate as most convenient to yourself. "I am very reepectfull "Your obedient servant, "Wade Hampton, "Governor." To which Chamberlain replied: "State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. "Columbia, S. C., April 10, 1877. "Sir: Reply to your note of this date, I have to say that my private secretary will meet such officer as you may designate at 12 meridian tomorrow at the executive chamber, for the purpose indicated in your note. "Very respectfully, "D. H. Chamberlain, "Governor."' The order of President Hayes, removing the United States soldiers from the State house, went into effect on April 10, 1877, 34 years ago yesterday. Twenty men, under the command of Lieut. Haynes of Com. r- pany B. Second regiment, were on ' ;dnty there guarding the radical gov"ernor and State officials.

Twelve strokes sounded, and 12 long, weary, wretched years of carpet-bag misrule were tolled off one by one, and consigned to the tomb of the past lorever, never to know a resurrection." Before surrendering the office he had held by force since November. 1876, Chamberlain made a bitter addres to the radical State officials in which he accused Hayes and his cabinet of deserting the very men who were responsible for his election to the presidency of the United biai?>. At 11 o'clock, on April 11, 1S77, Chamberlain left the State house, never to return. According to their agreement. Gov. Hampton sent his private secretary, the late MaJ. Wade Hampton 'Manning, to meet C. J. Babbitt,1 Chamberlain's private secretai/, ai I the executive office at noon on April 11, 1911, when "the great seal of South Carolina and the keys of the office were turned over to Maj. Manning. Hampton was thus formally installed in office. The Columbia Phoenix, published by the late Julian P. Shelby, Issued a one-page extra on April 10, 1877, to chronicle the evacuation of the State house by the United States troops. TAKEN BY HIS UNCLES A GREAT SENSATION CREATED IN LOS VEGAS, N. M. Twelve Thousand Dollars Is Paid for the Return of the Lad Who Was Kidnapped. There Is a great sensation on at Los Vdgas, N. M. Implicated by the confession of Joe Wiggins, a former life convict, Will and John Rogers, uncles of little Waldo Rogers, were arrested for complicity in the lad's abduction. For his return $12,000 ransom was paid, Will Rogers acting as agent for Mrs. Rogers. The disclosures have aroused the city to a degree of excitement that the authorities fear may result in a demonstration against the prisoners. The accused are in the county jail which is guarded by a large force of deputies. The arrest of Wiggins came late Tuesday. His confession, which followed, gave a new and sensational turn to the mystery, which for more than ten days has surrounded the kidnapping of little Waldo Rovers, son of Mr. and 'Mrs. A. T. Rogers, and his safe return upon the payment of $12,000 ransom. According to the story told by Wiggins, he first became acquainted with Jim Rogers through the law firm by which the latter was employed and which was Instrumental in getting Wiggins pardoned from the penitentiary. Wiggins says that while woikin in the coal mines at Madrid, N. M., he received a letter from John Rogers, suggesting a scheme for making $10,000 "easy money." Wiggins says he came to Lot. Vegas in a few days and later entered into the plot. Waldo Rogers, the twoyear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Rogers, and the grandson of H. L. Waldo, a Kansas City millionaire, was kidnapped from the family :est ? ? n t (7 K a f \f o 1UCIH C UU tut- 1115 11 l 1/4 inutvu - /. Taking advantage of the absence from the city of the boy's father two masked men went to the Rogers home shortly before midnight and at the point of a revolver compelled Mrs. Rogers to dress the child for a night ride and deliver him to them. They repeatedly assured her that the child would not be harmed aud that he would be returned safely provided the police were not lntormeo and $12,000 in small bills was paid to their representatives. They named a lonely spot 11 miles north of Los Vegas as the place wh?re the money was to be delivered by Mrs. Rogers' representative, who wan to come to the rendezvous alone the following day. Mrs. Rogers secured $12,000 the following morning and delivered it to Will Rogers to carry to the place of meeting. Refers returned Thursday night With the child, who was well and unharmed. He told Mrs. Rogers and later the authorities that he had met at the appointed place a man who, alter receiving and counting the money, directed him to a canyon 15 miles south of the place of meeting, where he found the boy lying in an arroye, wrapped in a blanket. A reward of $20,000 was offered for the capture and conviction of the kidnappers and the vicinity was ablaze with indignation. THE GENTLE CYNIC. It is almost as difficult to hush up some children as some scandals. Many a woman calls a man "dear," and then makes him feel cheap. When we get to heaven most of us will have to have self-playing harps. In order to make the most of things it isn't absolutely necessary to lead a double life. It would be a rather doabtfur compliment to tell a girl she was all wool and a yard wide. If some people didn't talk about what they are going to do, they would have nothing to talk about. It would be a good thing if the devil really did wear horns. We could spot him a lot more easily then. About the only thing that would make some people forget themsehes would be to be kicked into unconsciousness by a mule. No woman is competent to advise a young girl in her love affairs unless the aforesaid woman has been married at least four times. The leading editorial in tne cxua. entitled "Out at Last," is given in full below: Promptly, while the bell was striking 12, the troops marched out the east door of the State house and wended their way toward the barracks In the eastern part of the city. Gov. Hampton had stationed persons at the various entrances to the State house square to request people not to pass In. consequently scarcely any one was to be seen inside, and but few were standing around outside to witness the departure. No hurrahing or any demonstration of any kind was made, and all passed off as quietly as possible for a movement to be made. About five months ago the troops took possession of the State house at the dead hour of nigut iu. the purpose of assisting in the perpetration of that outrageous fraud which has fastened an illegal president upon the country and also to uphold an illegal government in this State. They have done their work well, though Mr. Hayes, after finding himself seated in the presidential chair, sees he can not longer stem the tide of public opinion which is setting with such overwhelming force against the frauds and crimes which have been perpetrated under protection of the military, and therefore orders the troops removed from th?. State house, thus knocking the on it prop from under the Chamberlain government on which it could rely, and lets it tumble to the ground. Gov. Chamberlain, after a most determined struggle, thus found liim1 self swinging in the air. with nothing to support his unjust cause, and made a virtue of necessity by dictating, after issuing the falFe and malignant document which we publish in anoth er column. Thus ends this memorable contest, and now that right and Just has prevailed, and Gov. Hompton is the acknowledged legal executive of the State, we trust quiet and prosperity will again be restored BRYANiOVED Seens to Have the Inside Track When It Canes to Papilaritj. STILL DRAW THE CROWD Possible Timber for the Presidency? Three of the Leaders to bo Seen in Washington?Bryan, Harmon and Clark?Either One of Them Would Fill the Bill. A special to The State from Washington says since congress began its extra session on April 4 Democrats have had an opportunity to take a look at three of the men who ar? mentioned as probable candidates foi the presidency when the next nominating convention is held?William J. Bryan, Judson Harmon and Champ Clark. They have been looked over with a scrutinizing eye?one that looks for the winning horse?and while u can not be said that either of these three mentioned has shown any decided advatage over the others there are unmistakable signs that point to Mr. Bryan's great popularity, whatever his enemies may say to the contrary. In the house on the day congress assembled for its extra session work, the reception accorded Bryan and Harmon was not noticeably difTercni unless It waa the .act that more persons seemed to shake hands with Bryan than with the great Ohian This may have been due to the larger acquaintance of Mr. Bryan and to the fact also that on three different occasions he had been on the course and in that way naturally knew and was familiar with more of the nous* Democrats than his distinguished friend from Ohio. Be that as it may, however, the fact that Mr. Bryan was in the capital draw around him wherever he went a tremendous crowd. Even those who are opposed to the political policies of Mr. r?/yan have bc?n forced to admit that his reception in Washington, at the capital, around the hotels and clubs, and at private residences anu enieriainiueuui ? ?ei c he appeared, was nothing short ?f marvelous considering the fact that he has been the candidate o. Democrats for president three time3 and three times has suffered defeat. Doth Judson Harmon and Woodrow Wilson draw crowds when they come to Washington, not only because of the fact that they are now in the public eye as presidential timber but because of their personality and the friends each of them has. Their greetings here are sincere and genuine and one who comes in contact with them as they move from point to point can not fail to observe how vhe very grasp of their hands indicates their party fervor and loyalty. Dut with Mr. Bryan it is pos-sible that neither Harmon nor Wilson can approach him in the way the people ?rich and poor alike?politician and plain man?crowd to hear what he has :o say. Last Sunday he was scheduled to speak at a number of the Washington churches on religious topics. Everywhere he appeared crowds fought their way to gain entrance. and it was necessary in some cases for policemen to beat the people back, 60 desirous were they of iretting to a place where they could hear what Mr. Bryan had to say. In front of the churches the crowds packed the streets to such an extent that It was necessary to send officers through the crowd* to make room for pedestrians. Not satisfied with their failure to hear Mr. Bryan speak many of these people so insisted on his talking to the overflow crowd outside the church doors, and this the great Nebraskan willingly did. Such a man ifestatlon of admiration may mean something or it may not, but it certainly shows that, however Mr. Bryan may be held in the minds of those opposed to him politically, he draws tremendous crowds whenever he appears in public in Washington, second only in size to the crowds that go to see and hear a president of the United States. LEAVE FIERY TRAIL. Mexican Bandits Murder Residents of Small Town. Early advices from Guadalajara, Mexico, state that bandits from the territory of Tepuc have raded P.ie-s Verdes, a small town in the Mascota district of Jalisco, killing the local jtidee, Jose Montes de Oca, and ten other residents. The bandits are said to have secured some money and extensive supplies of corn and beans. A detatchment of state gendarmes have been sent in pursuit of the bandits, who are reported to be in the Wascota district. Specials :o Guadalajara from Merida. the capital of Yucatan, tell of insurrerto activity in the southern states of a Conipeche and Yucatan. Plantations are being raided, it is declared, and a number of jet ?juin plants have been burned. The aggregate los9 is said to be heavy. Among the plantations to suffer lo.-s is that of Olegaro Molina, a former member of the Diaz cabinet. The managers of the Santa Rosa plantation in Yucatan and Kayal plantation in Compeche are said to hve been killed. Some Good Advice. Don't knock. It's a bad habit. Take some physic and get cheerful. Certainly there are some things worth com mending. Look them up. And there is so much that need3 to be done. You cannot be a helper if you crumble all the time.?Camden News. Sent to the Pen. Seven years at hard labor in State's prison was the sentence meto(] out to each of four leaders of a black hand band in the common pleas court at Newark, N. J., Monday.

Wicker, President of Association, Issues Call to Workers In South Carolina. Thos. E. Wicker, president of the Rural Free Delivery Carriers' Association of South Carolina, has issued an address to the carriers of this State, urging increased interest in the organization. Mr. Wicker, in his address, says: ' Brother Rural Carriers of South Carolina: Below you will find a list of rural carriers whom I have appointed several organizers for their respective counties. See if your name is on the list, and if it is, then go to work with a vim for your county association: if it is not, then write your couuty organizer at once and tell him your services are at his com mana. "In several counties I have made no appointments because I didn t know who would be willing and m* tersted enough to undertake the work. I should be glad to have the names of hustlers from those counties. so that the list of organizers could be made complete. The appointment of special organizers doesn't mean that State and count* Iofficers may become less active in I their efforts to secure members, j "The State convention at Newberry [last July was the largest and best in the history of the association. The question now is, Will it be excelled by the convention at Florence next July? What does Florence say about it? What does Burch say about it? What do we all say about it? Our presence in goodly numbers will make it a success; our absence will make it a failure. "Now let us all get busy in the interest of our county conventions on the 30th of May. Remember the national dues, as fixed at Little Rock last year, are 75 cents and State dues 25 cents. Your county dues, if any. are what you choose to make them. "Let us all join the association for the good of the service and for our own good. If by getting together in conventions and exchanging ideas, we are benefited, then, of course, the Bervlce will be benefited to the same extent. The carrier who refuses or neglects to join the association, isolates himself and pockets his salary at the end of the month. This Is the sum total of his interest in the rural mail service. The carrier who joins the association manifests by that very act, a desire to learn, througn iu? association as a medium, the wishes of the department officials in the conduct of the service. He is wideawake and more efficient than nis isolated brother, because he is in touch with the department and in sympathy with those who are trying to improve the service. "There may be some among us wi?o think that the recent salary increase was not as large as it should have been. From our viewpoint perhaps it was not; but from the viewpoint of the government it was solely a question of economy. We must not forget that our branch of the service is young and, in some respects, imperfect, therefore, looking at it in this light, let us who are in the field cooperate with our superiors at headi-.ir\ /-v ftn/l thnfr tho iniriPr. feclions In the service may be eliminated and that we may become more efficient and deserving. When these things have been accomplished there need be no doubt that our compensation will be as generous as we could wish. Uncle Sam is not stingy, but, as every good business man should be, he is conservative. "In closing, let me again urge upon you the importance of your presence at Florence.

THEY WANT MORE , I New Orleans Cotton Eichaife DeiMiccs Bagging Trad. ROBBING THE FARMERS ; The Exchange Demands Relief for the South, and Would Check Ra- " ] paclty. Which Would Increase the Duty and Thus Plunder the Cotton Growers of Millions. That the cotton bagging and the trust, not satisfied with robbing the American cotton planter of one million dollars annually through unjust tariff placed upon bagging and ties under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, are nlnnln^ fn Increase their levy on the cotton crop to $2,MO,000 annually, is declared In resolutions adopted Monday by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. The resolutions appeal to Coneress ' to place bagging and ties on the free list and urge the enactment of the necessary legislation at the present extra session of Congress. President W. 13. Thompson, of the Cotton H.xchange, in a letter which he addressed to each member of Congress, tells of the great Importance to the South of this alleged tariff steal. He says in part: "The cotton crbp of the South yields an average of about 12,000,000 bales." Of this total approximately five-eights, or 7,500,000 bales, representing an average money value of over $500,000,000 are exported and exchanged for foreign gold. The mere statement of these facts attests the importance of the cotton producing industry, emphasizes the obligation, which the country at large owes the producer of this crop and establishes his right to at least Just treatment at the hands of the general law making power. "Under the present tariff law, the duty on steel cotton ties amounts to 2.7 cents per bale, or $324,000 on a crop of 12,000,000 bales. This tariff is prohibitive, as is snown by the fact that no steel ties are imported. Therefore the government has no 6hare in this impost which constitutes simply and solely tribute levied upon the cotton farmer for the benefit of the cotton tie trust. "The duty on Jute bagging imposed by the present tariff law amounts to 5*4 cents per bale or $630,000, on a crop of 12,000,000 bales. This tariff is to a large extent prohibitive Inasmuch as it yields only about $100,000 in revenues to the government. Tne balance of about $435,000 constitutes a tribute pa d by the cotton farmer to the bagging trust. "Rut the bagging trust Is not satisfied with its share of this impost, ft desires to raise the duty to a figure which will not only prevent the government from receiving any revenue . . therfrom, but "will enable the trust to take from the farmer four times ns much as it has been able to take heretofore. "This trust has recently made a technical test case based upon a question of chemical analysis, and has secured a ruling thereon from the board of general appraisers in New York, which will change the duty on imported bagging from the presen rate, which amounts to about 5 1-4 cents per bale, to an ad valorem duty, which will amount to about 21 cents per bale. This means an increase from $630,000 on the crop to practically $2,500,000, all of which tho trust will collect from the farmer without any division with the government. "Thus under the Payne-A^rfch law as heretofore interpreted, the cottor producer has borne the burdon of a $950,000 yearly tax on bag eing and ties and if the chemical Interpretation holds, he will hereafter be mulcted in the yearly sum of $2,800.000 for his baling materials, all of which goes into the treasuries of the bagging and tie trusts. "From this it will appear that not only the proposed outrage, but the present tax on bagging and ties Is inadequate and wrong; and because the Western farmer has, and has had for more than 15 years, his binder twines on the free liet, the tax upon the Southern farmer stands condemned on tho additional discrimination." SOON FOLLOWED HIM. Wife Died Two Hours After Her Husband Passed Away. En route to her home in Union, S.

Every Box of Lemons Tells of the Tariff Kohbery. , Practically every box of lemons brought into the United States from , foreign ports now carries to its consumers a message protesting against the hi';h rate in the Payne-Aldrich tariff on lemons. Beginning th:s , week, the New York fruit importers union stationed men with stensils oa , all the piers where shjoments of lemons arrive, and they will paint on each box a pithy protest against the tariff rate. "If lemons were free this box would cost you $1.26 less." Orhers are: "The tariff is squeezing me." "Revise the tariff and get me > chea|>er." r "If the tariff squeezes me much - more I wont come here," and "the ) tariff is making us sour on the United States." t CLASSIFIED COLUMN 1 For Bale?Pure Klig Cotton Seed at Poultry Yard, Darlington. 8.
