Charged With Shocking Crime.
Charlotte, N. February 16.?
A special to The Observer from
Marion, N. C.,says: "Deputy Sheriff
Cox has just reached here with 14 <
Slavs, who are charged- with a shock- i
v ing murder. Fifteen of these foreignf
ers came to camp No. 5 on the South
<& Western railroad a year ago and
have been at work there ever since.
According to the officer's story the
m<?n miftrreled amoncr themselves
Thursday, the brunt of the war of j
( words falling upon the member of
the little colony who had been serving
as its cook. The 14 Slavs fell upon
the unfortunate cook that night and
securing him with ropes they led him
to a spot in the forest a mile from
the camp. There they bound the
cook hand and foot and placing him
, , in an upright position agaihst the end
of a fill, the crowd stepped off a few
paces and began shooting, using the
cook as a target. The unfortunate
man was riddled with bullets. After
V;-. satisfying their thirst for blood the
murderers dug a shallow trench
' in the fill and and buried their victim,
f The hastily provided grave and the
> blood on the ground led to the discovery
of the crime by a foreman.
The dead man was known to have
had $100 in cash, but no money was
v found on him. Not one of the'prisoners
speaks English and though court
-is convened, the trial can not be held
< until an interpreter is secured,"
The Woman Wanted.
\ * ' * V
When Senator James A. Hemen
? way, of Indiana, was campaigning in
Southern Indiana, recently, he delivered
an address before an audience
or farmers in a country school house.
In the course of his remarks, says
an exchange, he reviewed the great
agriculturalprosperity of the country,
and as an illustration told a story of
. a poor farmer who had died, leaving
to his wife the farm heavily mortgaged.
He said that the widow set
to work with a will and succeeded
upon one year's wheat crop in paying
off the entire mortgage.
When he had completed his speech,
the Senator, as is customary ^n such
occasions, shook hands and greeted
the members of his audience. One
middle-aged farmer finally approached
him thoughtfully and began:
"Senator, you tole a story 'bout
the widow raising a mortgage on one
year's crop?"
"Yes, my friend, that was a true
story. It happened only last year,
during our prosperous times.
"Senator, could you tell me who
that widow is?" queried the farmer.
"She's jist the kind of woman I've
been lookin' for all the time."

! _ MILL HAND ARRESTED.
Charged With Assault and Battery
With Intent to Kill.
Anderson, Feb. 13.?Charles R.
Brown, a former employe in the
weave room of the Brogon cotton
mills, is in the county jail charged
with assault and battery with intent
to kill, it being alleged that he attacked
Mr. W. N. Callas, section hand in
the weave room, with a pistol and a
pair of knucks. It is learned" from
Brown and from witnessses that
Brown was discharged from the employ
of the mill Tuesday because he
seemingly purposely broke some
machinery. It was Mr. Callas who
reported Brown's conduct to the
superintendent. Yesterday morning
as Mr. Callas was entering the mill to
go to work at 6.10 o'clock Brown had
some words with him, Brown claiming
that he had come on the premises
of the mill to tell his friends goodbye.
Brown hit Callas over the head
several times with a pair of knucks
and then drew a pistol and fired at
him. Callas' hand got caught in the
knucks while attempting to defend
himself and when Brown jerked them
from his grasp Callas' finger was
broken. The bullet fired hy Brown
went wide of its mark. Callas has
several painful wounds on his head.
Brown was arrested by Officer Cobb
as he was fleeing toward Greenville.
Brown claims that his parents live
near Greenville. He is a man of 22
years of age.
High Finance.

for all her domestic servants

"No, mem. Work's in a fair state
o' stiddiness and not a cint do I owe,
but it's lashins o' trouble I've got!"
"Are you not paid promptly?"
"As promptly as the day cooms
round."
"What is your financial distress,
then?" |
"Well, mem" (in aburst of horror),
"what's killin' me is, I earn $6 the
week an' pay $8 for me boord, an'

Negroes Barred from Convention, j
Tampa, Fla., Feb. 13. -Three negro
delegates sent to the immigra-!
tion convention by local colored organizations
today were refused seats
and asked to retire, delegations from
Sou^th Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia
and Virginia objecting to their presence.
Another feature of the proceedings
was W. P. Nells, Socialist,
of this county, who appeared in the
convention and demanded a seat as
an American citizen. On motion of
Immigration Commissioner Watson
of South Carolina, Nells was made a
member of the convention, which
Nells followed by vigorously opposing
immigration of any sort.
C. F. Zimmerman of Memphis declared
the convention was wasting
time, as the prohibition wave now
sweeping the South would prevent
desirable immigrants coming to this
section and drive away many worthy
foreign residents already here.
The central trades union of Portsmouth,
Va., presented resolutions
opposing immigration, declaring
foreigners brought disease germs and
sent away good money.
Secretary of State McCown of
South Carolina introduced a resolution
referring the question of immigration
to the several States, each
"State to work out its own solution.
All resolutions were referred to committees
Provocation Enough.
A deaf old gentleman dined with a
family where grace was always said.
When the guests were seated the
host bowed his head and began to repeat
the accustomed verse in a subdued,
reverent tone.
"Eh? What's that?" demanded the

him.
The host smiled patiently and began
again, in a louder, more deprecatory
toice.
"Speak a little louder, I don't catch
what you say," the old gentleman
persisted.
A low ripple of laughter went
round the table. The host, his face
crimson with embarrassment, raised
his voice and repeated the verse. The
deaf old gentleman did his best to
hear, but failed. He placed his hand
upon his host's arm.
"What did you say?" he demanded,
irascibly. \
The host cast him an angry glance.
"D?n it, I'm saying grace," he
snapped.?Harper's Weekly.

Wade Davis of Salley, returned a
verdict of not guilty this morning
about 10 o'clock, after being out all

feet of Morgan Boyleston's house.

The stars are shining this week,
nine of them. Is your boy one of
them? If not, why not? The scholarship
of this room has increased 25 per
cent during the past\ month. Has
your boy done his whole duty? Does
he tell you anything about his school
work? If not, he's ashamed of what
he is doing. Investigate. Examine
' the above list from week to week; it
r gives the correct standing of each
pupil in this room.
Unless this school receives more
money from the dispensary it will not
continue over two months longer.
This will give us seven months tree

that, though hope was felt
for his recovery, the outcome was by
no means certain.
