into the rural postoffice station
at Gluck mills, four miles south of
Anderson. The station is located in
the mill company store. A tin box
containing $48 in cash was taken and
some goods from the store shelves
were appropriated. The iron safe
and the store drawers were not
molested. A large number of company
pay checks amounting to
several hundred dollars were secured.
Postoffice Inspectors Gregory and
Haverstadt have been spending several
days here, but left for Pelzer

LYNCHED BY MASKED MOB.
Negro Swung from Limb and Riddled
With Bullets.
Dothan, Ala., Jan. 19?Cleveland
Franklin, a negro employe of a cotton
oil company, was lynched here
tonight by a masked mob of 200
angry citizens. The negro's body
was riddled with bullets, after it had
been swung from the limb of a tree
in the northern part of the town.
It is said that Franklin shot and
seriously wounded A. C. Foulk, secretary
and treasurer of the oil company
here, last night after he had
been caught in the act of robbing
the cash drawer at the mill.
The sheriff was notified immediately
after the shooting and a posse was
organized. A diligent search was
made for the negro last. night, but
without result. This morning the
sheriff learned that the "negro was*
at Webb, Ala., and later in the
morning he was captured there.
Franklin was brought back to Dothan
by private conveyance. Just after
his arrival here and while being taken
to the jail a mob of 200 men. all
masked, swooped down on the sheriff
and his posse and forcibly took the
prisoner. The negro was hurried a
short distance away and hanged to a
limb, his body then being riddled
with bullets.
The lynching created a great deal
of excitement here, but no further
trouble is expected. ,

his head, while the other robber
went through Dr. Sexton's pockets,
securing $21. '
Being weak from a recent operation,
Dr. Sexton was unable to make
much resistance. In falling to the
ground, his back was painfully injured.

v Killing Near Davidson.
Raleigh, N. C.. Jan. 16?A special
tonight from Davidson, N. C., says:
* ? -V 'u. ]
"A Drutai muraer was comimiieu,
near here, this morning when Ezekiel
Gregory, a farmer over 60 years of
age, was killed with an axe by his
son Dave. The murderer fled, accompanied
by his wife, but both were
arrested, near Mooresville, N. C., tonight.
' 'The substance of the story gathered
from the daughter of the dead
man was that following an altercation
this morning in regard to rising, the
son went from the house into the
yard and defied his father to cross a
line drawn with the blade of the axe
in the earth. The father crossed the
line, a blow was struck and the
daughter rushed out to find her
father prostrate. The injured man
did not recover consciousness. Gregory
is in jail in Charlotte."

POLICE OFFICER FOUND DEAD.
Death of tmet or t-oiice uargan ui
Darlington a Mystery.
Columbia, Jan. 20.?Chief of Police
A. E. Dargan, familiarly known as Rab
Dargan, a bachelor about 50 years old
and who has been chief of police of
Darlington for fifteen years, was found
dead in a room in the city hall building
there about 10 o'clock yesterday morndng
by a policeman whom the chief had
asked to arouse him at that hour.
Opinion differs as to whether Mr.
Dargan committed suicide or was murdered.
The coroner's jury, after holdipg
a lengthy session yesterday and obtaining
all facts available, was not satisfied
and adjourned till next Thursday.
Mr. Dargan's body was cold and stiff
and he had evidently been dead for
several hours. There was a bullet hole
in his forehead, the bullet going entirelv
through his head as if he had been
shot from directly in front. If Mr.
Dargan suicided he left no explanatlbn
of his act and gave no intimation before
hand of such intention. So far as is
known his official record was without
blemish.
His own sleeping room is in this same
building, and tne policeman who went to
arouse him, not finding him there, instituted
a search, finding him in another
room on the same floor.
There was an empty chamber in Mr.
Dargan's revolver, found by his side,
but this is not regarded as convincing
evidence of suicide, because the chief
was known to carry the hammer of his
weapon on an empty shell to lessen the
danger of accidental discharge. He was
in his night clothes. Mr. Dargan is
mourned by one sister, Mrs. Leda Evans, ,
of Darlington, and a brother, Alonzo
Dargan, of New York, with Sharpe &
Dohme.
Mr. Dargan was a cousin of Robert
Dargan, whose sensational suicide occurred
in Darlington a few years ago,
his tomb being reopened several months
after his burial to satisfy an insurance
company which held a policy for $25,000
on his life.
C. M. Brown, manager opera house

small children who say that he raised
both his hands above his head and
that the horse shied, and that he was
thrown out upon his head.
The presumption is that the excitement
and agitation following the sick
ness of his wife and the death of the ;
little one, followed by the shock of
his horse's fright, were too much
| for a weak heart and death followed
instantaneously.
He was a worthy, industrious
young man, well liked and well
thought of by all, and had been happily
married a little more than a year
ago to a noble young lady with every
hope of a happy and prosperous life.
The deepest sympathy is felt by all
for his afflicted wife and for his father,
a gallant old veteran, who, being
left a widower in his younger days,
raised from childhood four hne sons,
all good, worthy, industrious citizens.
The old soldier is almost prostrated ,
with grief at the sudden death of his :
oldest son.

V*rd Rn?s Shnnts Himself.
Columbia, Jan 20.?A. D. Livingston,
yard boss at the Southern railway
shops in this city, committed
suicide this morning at his home on
Laurel street by shooting himself
twice, once in the breast and once in
the ri^ht temple.
Not finding him in bed when she
awoke, his wife made a search. She
found Livingston's dead body in a
closet, where he had gone in order to
muffie th? shots.
his time and pay had recently been
reduced, and it is presumed that despondency
caused him to take his life.
He leaves a wife and three children.
He carried life insurance.
Canal Needs Six Years.
Washington, January 17.?Col.
Goethals, chief engineer of the isthmian
canal commission before the
Senate committee on inter-oceanic
canals, said today that he has never
known of a contractor that has been
able to do work as well and cheaply
? ' 1J J- 3
as tne government couia ao it, ana
asserted that the organization and
equipment' now in operation at
Culebra are better and more effective
than any contractor could possibly
install.
Col. Goethals in discussing the
probable completion of the canal
would not hazard a guess as to the
time that would be required but said
it was generally supposed it would
take six years longer.
Shot While Hunting.
Gaffney, Jan 17.?While out hunting
rabbits Wednesday afternoon,
Roland Sanders, who was accompanied
by Herman Crocker, was acciden-,
tally shot by the latter. The boys had
started a rabbit, and the Sanders boy
stooped in order to give Crocker a
chance to shoot; but Crocker was so
long in firing, that Sanders started to
rise to his feet, and in doing so received
the charge of small shot with
which Crocker's ?gun was loaded.
Sixteen pfr 18 of the shot entered his
cheek. ~ While the wound is very
painful, it is not thought to be serious.

Saloons May Close.
New York, Jan. 17.?A thousand
New York saloonkeepers met last
night to protest against' the proposed
action of the breweries to raise gthe
price of beer$l a barrel. Many of
those at the meeting refused to pay
the advance and voted instead to
close their saloons.
The chairman, after the meeting, ,
stated that a committee would be appointed
to call on the brewers today,
and if they di(J not agree to continue
the price of beer as it had been 1,000
saloons would close their doors.
