As South Carolina has a member
en this committer, Representative
Johnson, the preposition will doubtless
receive consideration at an early
date.
"I think Bamberg ought to have a
Federal building," Mr. Patterson said
to-day, "and I am going to do all I
* can to secure it."
Negro Brute to Pay Penalty.
g*: . .
Thomasville, Ga., April 28.?Under
a heavy military guard, Harvey
Harris, the negro who was to-day
convicted of criminal assault upon a
prominent white woman of this county,
and sentenced to die on the gallows
on May 20, was taken to Macon
on a special train this afternoon.
The successful transfer of the negro
to another jail for safe keeping
; ~?:S: ended a riotous day and a determined
body of two thousand men and boys
who had gathered early bent on
lynching Harris and who had one
rather serious encounter with the
troops, went sullenly to their homes
to-night.
Following the clash early this
morning between the mob and the
. i Thomasville military company, the
governor ordex'ed the companies at
fesj i- Albany and Valdo%ta to proceed here
on special trains. With the arrival
of these companies the mob spirit
quickly died down.
The trial of the negro was brief.
V ' The court room was cleared of spectators
and the troops stood guard at
the entrances. Attorneys were api
pointed by the court to defend Harris,
the jury quickly drawn and Mrs.
7 Dntton, the first witness, told the details
of the assault, breaking down at
.;:7 the conclusion of the testimony. She
'-7 was followed by Sheriff Houston, of
y? Leon county, Florida, who testified
5 7 that following Harris' capture in Talf?
lahassee the negro made a voluntary
'V: confession of the crime. Harris did
; not take the stand nor did any witnesses
appear for him. There were
no arguments and the jury, following
a brief charge, returned a verdict of
guilty within two minutes after rer
tiring. Judge Mitchell then sentenced
the negro to be hanged on May
20, emancipation day in Georgia.

Negroes Play Highwaymen.
t New Orleans, April 26.?After sucSsiM?
;X,cessfully holding up and robbing the
and passengers of street cars
an several occasions a gang of negroes
disguised as white men have
been rounded up by the New Orleans
police on the outskirts of the city
early to-day. In a running battle with
y. the officers one of the negroes was
fatally wounded.
To throw off all suspicion as to
their color, the highwaymen wore
? " ; - white kid gloves and masks that comI*
? pletely covered their faces. Following
^ several holdups, Chief of Police
r N O'Connor and Chief of Detectives
Reynolds laid a trap into which the
SssJ&.m :i kia'hwavmen fell. ..
The result was a running fight
? shortly before daylight between Alfred
and OUie Smith, brothers, and
Patrolmen Roy and Jackson, immediately
after the negroes had held up
a. car on the Petera avenue line. The
negroes were making for the swamps
and exchanged a score or more of
shots with the patrolmen. . Alfred
< Smith, one of the negroes, finally fell
with several shots through his body
[ , and his brother was captured a short
time later.
The capture of the Smiths resulted
in the rounding up of several othi
er negroes alleged to be members
of the gang which has been operating
successfully for a week or more.
A trunk filled with valuables taken
, from passengers was being prepared

Where is the state of matrimony?
It is in the United States. It is bounded
by hugging and kissing on one

ether. Its products are popuiauuu,
broomsticks, and staying out at
nights. It was discovered by Adam
and Eve while trying to find a northwest
passage out of Paradise. The
climate is rather sultry until you pass
the tropics of housekeeping, when
squally weather sets in with sufficient
power to keep all hands cool as
cucumbers. For the principal roads

MR. PATTERSON'S STATEMENT.
Second District Representative in
Race to Finish.
Washington, April 28.?Congressman
Patterson, in addition to the
statement made yesterday positively
announcing that he had no idea of
withdrawing from the race and re
election to the House, and that he
would again become a candidate, today
issued a still longer statement
on the subject. In declaring himself
a candidate, he said:
"The campaign will soon be opened,
and I desire to say to my friends
in the 2d Congressional district that
I shall be a candidate to succeed myself
to the 62d Congress in the primary,
to be held during the coming
summer. This announcement will,
I trust, dispel the erroneous idea in
the minds of a few, created by recent
exaggerated reports, that my capacity
for effective work had been
diminished by reason of ill health.
Realizing by experience that a Representative's
usefulness is in direct
proportion to his length of service, I
feel that I am better qualified to serve
my constituents now than at any
time in the past, and if I am returned
to Congress, they shall receive the
benefit of the experience I have gained
by reason of participation in public
affairs.
"Like other members of the minority
party in Congress I have been
handicapped, and as a result of partisan
action some of the plans I have
for improvement in our district and
State, for which I have labored most,
have not been disposed of yet, but
-1 - 1? il nnllnnm,A(,

that Democratic ideas of government
will prevail in Congress after the November
elections, I am more anxious
than ever to be a member of the next
Congress and consummate the work
I have already projected in the interest
of our district.
"I am deeply grateful to my friends
for their past friendship and support,
and hope to be honored with it again.
I am enjoying good health and am
very much alive to the needs and welfare
of my constituency, and if again
honored with a nomination, pledge
the best efforts of both head and
heart to your service."

Threatens to Lynch.
Thomasville, Ga., April 27.?Mobs
began forming in Thomasville early
to-night when it was announced that
Howard Harris, who is to be tried
here to-morrow for an alleged attempted
assault upon a young matron
of this county would be brought here
shortly after midnight from Florida.
The Thomasvilje Guards were called
out, and later it was stated by Judge
Robert G. Mitchell of the superior
court that the negro would not be
brought* here until to-morrow. He
stated that the guards will go to Valdosta
and meet Harris there. It is
probable that the Valdosta troops
will return to this place and aid in
the protection of the negro should
any further demonstration be made.
Much excitment was caused tonight
when the mobs began forming,
but this was allayed to a great extent
by the determination not to
bring the negro to-night. The trial
is to begin just as soon as the negro
and troops reach here to-morrow.
\fr? rjnttnn will be the chief witness
for the prosecution.
Meets Frightful Death.
Lamar, April 27.?Walter Byrd, an
18-year-old white boy, was almost
instantly killed near Lamar to-day.
Byrd, who was fireman on the Williams
& McKeithan Lumber Co. log
train at the camp near here, while
attempting to couple the engine to a
loaded train, had his head caught
and crushed between the tender and
a projecting log.
This wound probably would havei
not happened on a straight track, i
but unfortunately the train was on a
curve at the time.
Byrd was brought to Lamar and
died almost immediately without becoming
conscious. His body was carried
to his former home at Lumber
to-night for burial. He was the chief
support of a widowed mother and a
sister.

ENGLAND'S NEW HARBOR.
The Great Naval Base at Dover Costing
$20,000,000.
The new harbor recently completed
at Dover, England, by the British
admiralty, which was formally opened
by the Prince of Wales, is, according
to Technical World, one of the
greatest engineering feats ever put
in hand and brought to a successful
completion.
This new home for the British
flpAt ran claim the distinction of be
ing the largest artificial harbor in
the world. It encloses at low tide a
water area of no less than 619 acres,
affording ample accommodation for
a fleet of twenty-five first-class battleships
with the attendant smaller
craft, such as torpedo boats, gunboats,
etc.
This harbor has taken eleven
years to construct and has cost the
government $20,000,000. By its
erection the ancient port of Dover
has been transformed into a powerful
naval base. The reason for this
transformation is not far to seek.
It is the policy of the British admiralty
for the strength and bulk of their
ships to lie nearest their strongest
rival.
That rival to-day is Germany,
hence the desirability of equipping
Dover with an efficiently protected
harbor, where the ships can lie safely
at anchor and yet be in a position
to strike quickly at the North
Sea. As a matter of fact other naval
bases are being erected on the east
coast of Great Britain. One is now
nearing completion at Rosyth in Scotland,
and another new harbor is to
be constructed in the Orkneys.
S The Dover harbor, begun in 1898,
has been secured by contsructing
three arms or walls. The well known
Admiralty pier, whi^h had a length
of 1,000 feet, has been extended another
2,000 feet and forms the western
arm of the harbor. The second
runs out 3,320 feet from the base of
the cliffs, and the third arm is the
breakwater, 4,200 feet in length,
situated three-quarters of a mile
from the shore and almost parallel
with it.

In Modest Florida.
j .
J. Curtis Sturtevant, at a dinner at
Palm Beach, illustrated with a story
the modesty of children, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
"One warm February morning here
in Florida," he said, "I was motoring
with a young lady, and by a
stream we got out to gather flowers.
After * a while a boy came up and
said:
" 'Hey, mister, is that your girl
over there?'
" 'Yes, I suppose so,' said I.
" 'Well, tell her to go home,' said
he. 'Us fellers wants to go in swimmin'.'
"I told the young lady of this odd
request, but as she had not yet finished
her bouquet, she said, with a laugh,
I must tell the boys she would not
look. She'd shut her eyes.
"This thfy were duly told. And
they .consulted gravely on it. Then
the spokesman returned to me and
said:
" 'The fellers says they dassent
trust her.'"

or fainting and dizzy spells,
