Many Hlavea Were Stolen from Oar Coast Country and Carried to the West and Sold. we -The following Interesting story ^dln from the Columbia State; v*<$ome years prior to the Civil war there was a considerable amount of emigration from the southern coast Stales, most Of such emigrants going to the then unsettled country of the Mississippi and Its tributary valleys. In most instances these imigrants had some means, and they carried "their slaves along with them. Consequently they were in a position to accumulate wealth from the rich, alluvial soils of the river bottoms more rapidly J>han their less fortunate neighbors who bad no slave labor to help them. This led to much Jealously and discontent on part of the large class of self-workfQ^ whites, who after somejieili *J?6nt in — —toj ttnett better <*5tflpped neighbors getting richer and they poorer, banded themselves together in a certain dis trict, in the lower section of Louisiana for the purpose of running off slaves from the Carolinas and Virginia and selling them or keeping them for their own uses, aa needed, preferably dis tributing them among themselves, as this avoided inquiry. They had as „ their leader a man who became prom inent in the political affaire of Louis iana in the days of Reconstruction af ter the Civil war. This man went to Virginia, where he bought a small coast trading schooner. She was taken to Mobile, where a false skin was built in her, leaving a space between her sides and this skin ol about two feet, room enough for a negro to stand sidewaya therein. It was so cunningly devised that the most careful search of the vessel never divulged its existence. It was divided into compartments, each holding four or five negroes, and in these compartments many an unac counted for slave (supposed to have escaped to the north) was conveyed to a much warmer climate (of course I mean Louisiana). For six years this I * 'trade went on and no one ever bus-** \>ected1ts existence, as the slave pi* rates were careful to take only one two slaves from any one owner, an then only from those having numbers. Occasionally they fan off a large block of city negroes, but the plantation hands, which they pre- fmed, werg'TBore carefully selected from a large area. It was only on the deathbed of the mate of the vessel that the facta be came known, although this boat, at one time and onlber, ran cargoes of negroes from every Atlantic and Oulf State: A description of one of the voyages will explain the methods em ployed, to capture their cargoes: One afternoon Just before the sun set on one of the most perfect days that had ever been seen In South Car olina a small schooner was seen to cross the bar at the entrance of the Btooo river, some 12 miles below the sad the rope taa hla porttofa: was theft conveyed aboard r Che tease! and htddfti hi one of the tompaft* menu. Of coarBe a-‘bUegftd cry 4 * was raised fdr the dlisBing negfotfs. but the boat* although searched) was found to be empty* and of course no suspicion entertained that she was othefthaft as represented. The ne groes were, of course, supposed to have Uken to the swamp, a trick of which more than one was frequently guilty. These pirates obtained on this voyage some 20 negroes from that sretton,' and in due course put to sea the way they bad come. The word being, of course., only s bluff, it was thrown overboard' as soon as possible to lighten the boat and give her more speed. TheSe ne groes were carried to their vous, on an Island soifte miles below New Orleans, frdm which place they were turned over to those desiring them. • 1 ; , • . After the Civil war one of the ne groes taken away on that occasion re turned to John’s island and gave an account of bis adventures. No one, however, believed his tale until It was corroborated by the mate’s confession, which came duly to the knowledge of the writer The captain was arrested upon the mate'a cwnfes8lon, hut beln«. prominent in the corrupt political deals of thpse times nothing ever Came of It and eventually he went to Oali- forma and was lost sight of. Many hundreds of slaves were car ried off by these pirates and It is sur prising how successfully they eluded all suspicion. Had they attempted to sell all of the negroes thus stolen they would surely have been caught* but the leading spirit of it all was 4oo shrewd for that. W. B. Holmes, -.Charleston, July 14. COMING HOME TO ROOST. '. ■ • - ^ * The North Beginning to Get Hack Their Lost Chickens. - We do not want the people of the North and West to Judge the negroes of the South by the Vagabonds who are committing all manner of crimes amony them. There are plenty of good negroes In the South, and the ones who commlt the crimes of rape and assassination are the vicious ones among us, and we feel sure the same is true everywhere. A writer in the Augusta Chronicle says: The recent brutal outrages per petrated by the negro in Ibdlana, Illinois, Delaware and other northern localities furnish happy Illustrations of his marvelous progress in ^moral culture during forty.years freedom and would seem to suggest this as an SP* proprlatfe time for our brethren across the line to pass around the hat for another monument to John Brown. While the collection Is being taken the chair might stimulate their righteous zeal by singing, "As we go lynching on," to a shot gun accompaniment by the orchestra. . ' - "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding tine,” and in the tide of time the chickens turged loose by bayonet suffrage, political recognition ib<! w4te bouse hospital- tty are coming back to roost in north- ‘ ern homes. "They’re coming Fatner Abram A hundred thousand strong;” They’re coming home to roost Where they rightfully belong. The writer is neither a prophet nor a pessimist, and yet as the "black hor ror!!—casts the shadow of Its brutal menace farther and farber into north ern he&rtihataneSfJt may be that even under the pale of Faneull Hall there will come some day a dim regret that Stonewall Jackson fell ere Gettsbarg was fought.

At Mayesville, Ky., enraged at the court’s action, a mob broke into the Flemlngsbnrg jail Wednesday morn ing and hanged William Thacker, a. white man, who bad been given a life sentence for the murder of John Gor don, two yean ago. Thacker, in a quarrel with Gordon at Foxport, fought and killed Mini lieu sat on "blfbofly with a winches- t city of Charleston, a brisk "sou’eas- ter” filling her swelling sails (which showed clearly against the background of frees on the Island at the mouth of the river) brought her quickly up .the river to a point opposhm^tbe little L summer village known araegarevllle, 1 where just at dusk she dropped an chor. The next morning two or thgfettw qsme ashore, oaten- j for the purpose of buying wood from the planters on John’s Island, which lay to the southwest of the river, and succeeded In making ar rangements for a cargo. This gave them an opportanityto visit the dif ferent plantations and to estimate thanumberpf negroes on each. selves and picked. out the negroes liked best they formed means of talking to U*|Q arid persuaded them off during the night, appoint- » place of meeting and promising in Ills bands while hfe smoked a dared any one to attempt to him. At the time Thacker ped, but later he wfs arrested and lodged in jail at Flemingsburg. He was given two trials and finally got a life sentence. Gordon was a good citizen. Thacker appealed to the court of appeals and was waiting for another trial. He bad some money end was able to command the support of some Influential men, and It Is feared he might have escaped punish ment altogether. The mob colected at Mt. Carmel, where Gordon once lived, and came into Flemingsburg by twos and threes, in order not to arouse suspicion. They advanced upon the Jail shortly after midnight. The Jailer refused to sur render the keys, but he was overpow ered and the keys taken from him. Thacker was buried to a tree near the jail and given two minutea to say bis prayers, which be refused to do, but beged for life. To hush his cries he was bit on the head with a rook and his unconscious body wag afrung up until life had become extiucti. Aa Ugly Crime. Hon. James L. Shelton, ex-member of the assembly from triuls county and a resident of Richmond, Va., was attacked by negroes and beaten into Insensibility, while walking In the grounds of the Hermitage Golf dab, in the western suburbs ef the city, with a young lady, a nurse lb one of ths hospitals, Friday night. It is re ported that the young lady was drag- ‘ Mite an adjoining field —d felon- lonely easts tod, but so far this lacks confirmation. It la authoritatively stated that the negroes did not ac complish their purpose on the young taffy. k LIVING SAME Aft HERS: Mho Hay* Some of the Peuptn Who WCnt from the Month Are Doing Wall anil Home Bad. The Augusts Herald publishes the following, which will.be Interesting to ’taadiog those who are interested In question of colon!ting the. negroes to Liberia or shy other locality:' at Rosa Crawford, a K ro woman, just retur , Africa, has a touch of local color, lh that she was married in Augusta while enroute to the Dark Continent in 1805; The woman has returned to Columbus, Ga., and the following are her experiences: The young woman joined the first colonizing party that left Columbus afj*;r the war Jn 1805 she ran away from her parents and joined a party of some two or three hundred negroes that left for the Promised Land of the newly-freed slaves. She had been a house girl at the home of the late iQolonel Mott, on Mott’s green, and in the course of a year or two would have been cooking. While en route to her new home, she married in Augusta, her husband be ing one of tire colonists. At Charles ton the negroes were placed aboard a new ship and after a long voyage they found themselves in the old home of their race—Africa. The colonists set tled in the seaport Monrovia, which is the capital of the country. The Crawford womarTgives an Inter esting account ^of her experiences in Africat She is' intelligent, and noted incidents more closely than the aver age negro. She said that those who went over went to work in pretty much the sam6 stations as at home- some cooking, others laundering, others keeping house, etc. , She her self(s a’ laundress and says that she made a good living there- about the same living she could have made at home. She spent practically all the time in Monrovia, not going Into the interior except on rare occasions, and then not far from town. She says the natives around Monrovia are peaceable' but further back in tbe interior they are dangerous. AgricultureTs actively carried on near the coast, Corn, grain and all the vegetables ordinarily raised in Georgia being successfully grown. No cotton is grown in the colony. She says that health conditions there are not so very different from what they are in this county—the climate suits some and disagrees with others just as at home, where some are healthy and others unhealthy. She says that when she first went to Liberia all the sugar, molasses, etc., consumed in Monrovia and thebther towns was made up in this country, but that In later years this Industry has declined so that most of such articles are now imported Formerly the settlers in the upper part of Liberia sawed much lumber, but now the lumbfirJ§-iffrp6rted, she says. The-Orifftoafsettlers had much energy, but the present generation is not in clined to develop these industries. The Crawford woman says that when she first went to Liberia two of three American ships touched at Mon rovia every week. Now sometimes two or three years pass without an American ship visiting the port. The foreign trade is in the hands of Engr, llshmen, Germans. Dutchmen and Norwelgians, the .American Interest having steadily declined. Many of the retail stores in Monrovia are eolpjwd'' people. There are but few white people In Monrovia. She says that Monrovia is h&rdly as large as Qolumbus. ’ While a good many of American negroes there are dissatisfied with their IbTarfiTwTsb to feturn to America and would do so if they could pay their passage, yet many are content with their surroundings and intend to spend Cnwed the Lynching of * White Mnn^-she rest of their lives In Africa:—Tbe ('rawford woman says that the Ameri can negroes are.exercising a civilizing influence over the native Americans? that they bring tbe children of tbe na lives into tbe towns, teach that the colony has churches and schools just as the negroes in America do. i — — Fifteen years ago her husband died. In 1898, she moved to Sierra Loane, the English colony just north of Li beria. llere she found many rich pay well for fine laundry work, and she says that she was able in the course of a year or so to save the money with which to buy her pas sage home. She landed in Florida port, from which she afterwards pro ceeded by steamer to Brunswick. From there she went io Atlanta,, meeting her brother, and also her sis ter, Matilda Dawson, of Columbus, who had been wired to come to At lanta. They had not seen each other In thirty-eight years, and made,such'a demonstration that an Atlanta police man came near locking both up. She is now with her sister at 1818 Third avenue. She says she enjoyed execeilent health during her entire stay in Africa. Of the Columbus be- groes who went to Liberia In 1866, less than half dozen have returned to this city. ; Male Did Him Up. . The Cherokee News says it Is report ed at Gaffney that a negro living on Broad ri ver was trying to kill his wife last week. He cut at her several times with his khlfe and was stooping down to i>tck up a rock to hit her with wheb his mule kicked him back of the bead and knocked him silly. Since the blow on the head the negro has been crosseyed sad foolish. His wife, woman like, is nursing and waiting op him. Sambo might be able to run over Melinda, but he must keep out of the way of Baalim’s heels. Allowed Ball. \ John G.

Tbe heat was not exoeasive at any tlmev nor was there a wide daily range between the day and the night temperatures. These conditions were favorable on crops, but there was a deficiency In sunshine over the east* erp and central parts that was barm- fid to a slight extent. fiKAVt BAINS IN SOMB COUNTIES. Locally, there Was excessive precipi tation in Edgefield, MarTonTMarTboro and Saluda counties and almost daily excessive rains from the Savannah val ley In Barnwell and Hampton north ward to southern Clarendon and Wil liamsburg counties, and in western Sumter. In this part of tbe Slate the rainfall amounted to from 3 to over 6 inches. This area includes the region of heaviest rainfall during June when it amounted to from 10 to 18 Inches. The rains In other parts were benefi cial, and some places in the northern parts are la need of more rain. The week’s average for the State was 2.09 Inches. The week’s weather was favorable for crop growth and development, with the above exception, and for farm- work, cultivation having made consid erable progress, especially in tbe west ern counties. With the exception of a number of localities that report the contrary, old corn js a fair crop and is about laid by in clean condition. Much corn was destroyed on low lands where the rains were excessive. Young corn has a good color and looks promising. COTTON GKNERALLY IMPROVED. ... „ There was a general improvement in cotton, though some sections failed to share in it, but reports from most sec tions indicate that the plants are mik ing rapid growth, too rapid for proper fruitage in the Pee Dee counties, though they are still small and late in blooming. Blooms are more common than last week. Lice remains on very young cotton, in spots,, but they np longer threaten injury. In the western counties most fields are clean, but grassy fields is the prevailing condi tion in the eastern ones. Cotton is poorest, and yellow, oh sandy lan bub most of It has a healthy color, pecially 96a island cotton. . Tobacco curing continues and the crop as a whole has Unproved..;, Melon shipment are not heavy, as tbe crop is light as yet. Planting fall truck crops Is underway. Mine crops con tinue to thrive. Peaches still rotting.. Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pastures are excellent. Farm laborers are scarce in many parts of the State.

Early Tuesday morning Mr. Potter, a kept by'fhotel clerk, who was a member of one of the searching bodies who started out to loo|| for her,' discovered her al most lifeless form on a4edge that jut ted out from the steep side of the Sen tinel Assure. Her rescue from the perilous posi tion was attended with great diflicul- Mrs. Johns’ waist and an effort made to help-irer to the rim above. This attempt proved futile because of Mrs. Johns’ weight.

'The Law’* Delay. , --- Here is a story condensed from tbe current issue of Harper’s Weekly: Thera is now at large in the State of Delaware and enjoying freedom a ne gro named Neal, who twenty-four years ago committed a criminal assault (>ira white woman and then attempt ed to hide that crime by murdering the woman. Antony Higgins, former United States Senator and now a lead ing Republican politician of Delaware, was Neal’s counsel and managed to obtain his freedom and eacapeTrom any kind of punishment for his double crime on a technicality, after his client had been three time sentenced to death, Harper’s Weekly gives tbe facts more In detail and drelates that hilt tor the memory of Neal’s case the negro White would not have been burned at the stake In Wilmington the oilier day.

In him we recognize a man of the highest type. He was a man of true principle. He hated the low and mean with an- cxtreme. Mtred He exacted from his fellow men, especially those In public position, tbe same irreproachable conduct be re quired from himself. He was a man of decided conviction. He thought clearly and logically and always knew what be believed. If he made jnis- takes at times In the application of principles to conditions and actions of others, so that he was judged to be unfair and even unjust, yet~ bis positiveness and firmness in convio- tions, as to what he thought would be right, won for him the respect of those who did not agree with him. He was an Independent thinker, and often advocated mpvements and policies in advance of those above him, which, of course, meant frequent differences of opinion and opposition to bis views. He was a careful and accurate man, and yet bis was a quick and penetrating mind. His position was always positive and clearly defin ed.ff These qualities won for him suc cess and eminence as a journalist. He was the founder of the Columbia State in 1891, and soon made it one of the best newspapers in the whole south His services to Columbia, South Caro lina, and to the south, cannot bow be measured. He was a patriot of tbe truest type and a^woc^by public ser vant. In him we have lost one of the most brilliant and successful editors of tbe new south, and this association has lost an active, efficient and loyal member. Let us emulate his virtues J. C. Mace, W.

Haslip, of Philadelphia, Pa., Is in Savannah, Ga., to dig for buried treasure on an adjacent set island. It is not a wild, Captain Kidd kind of an adventure he is on, however. The treasure be is after was buried on Warehaw island In 1869 by a Confede rate soldier of the name of Amos Berien, who died In Philadelphia last week.. Berien, who tifejA been Jjn the employ of Mr. Haslip for the past ten years, often told that gentleman that he had treasure buried on the Georgia coast. Shortly* before his death he told Mr. Haslip that in his trunk would be found certain papers and parchments that would be of value to him, and that the property was all to be Mr. Haslip’s after Berien died. Mr. Haslip investigated the trunk. Among other things he found An old piece of sheepskin parchment, which had evidently done duty as a drum head. The parchment-eentaiued a map of Warsaw island, locating a cer tain spot. Accompanying it was a statement to the effect that Berien was first mate on tbe Confederate blockade runner, Lucy Verne, out of Baltimore. ,.On one trip when a rich Virginia family named Starke was f.
