Ilill Says, VIusl Have v llail a Diseased litinginn- I lion When He Wrote t Thai Article. Little things fret us more than big ones, if I write that Neptune is six- j teen hundred millions of miles from t the sun and it comes out in print six- :I teen millions it worries me. If 1 write that the doctor sewed up harelips and , it comes out hair lips. I don't like it. ! The type didn't know that a rabbit 1 had a slit under its nose. If 1 write J that I walked out into the garden to let my choler down, meaning my anger, the typo thinks 1 meant my shirt : collar, and so changes the spelling to suit his own idea. Hut since 1 read 1 an editor's defense in a New York pa- :l per I feel better, for he says it is J amazing how few of these mistakes are made in the great dailies that ' have to be rushed through with light- v ning speed. The constant pressure " on type setters and proof readers is tremendous, but they rarely make any ' serious blunders, and the intelligent :l readers can generally correct them in ' Ids mind. And so I will not worry any more about it. There are some s other little things that arc of more consequence just now. < )ur cook bus quit, and so lias the house maid gone I olT to Hock mart for a week or two gone to a house party, 1 think. Tiiat ? is all right, for the cook has been ^ faithful a long time and needed rest. ( She is a good servant and keeps u B clean kitchen, and we hayerY&cl a house pkTty duiSfhTS lor several months, have sick, but now we are duced to the regular family of five and *have hut little to cook and can get 1 along on two meals a day. My wife arranged it for me to lire up the stove '' and till up the kettles and grind the 'J coffee and put on the hominy and then ring the hell for the gills to pet ^ up and finish up the breakfast. She " said that if 1 felt like it 1 might sweep ' out the hall and the front veranda and 1 settle up the front room. Well, of ' course, 1 had to split up some kind- 0 ling and bring in the stove wood, hut v I am getting along fairly well and my 1 wife thinks the exercise is doing me ^ good. Last night she hinted that K the veranda was badly tracked up c since the rain and needed a good washing. ?3o this morning 1 turned loose u the hose pipe on it and she praised me 1 right smart and 1 brought her some ' roses from ray garden. We let her ' sleep until breakfast is ready, for she >' cleans up her room and makes up two 1 beds and then sews all day for the '! grand-children. Hut I want that '* colored house party to break up as soon 1 as possible, for 1 don't banker after I1 this morning business as a regular Job. Mrs. Mitums says she likes it. '' and I think she does. She has a good r: room in the back yard and good turn! tare and a handsome lamp 10 read by, ' and her little grandson lives with her, and 1 don't know of any colored wo- " man that has a better time. In fact. 1 know of lots of tfood negroes in town " who are contented with theirsitiut ion and will continue so if they arc lc ' v alone by the northern fanatics and ! southern cranks. I " What craze has come over that man i Slcdd to cause him to write such a I' * fool piece for the Hoslon magazine?' What tfood can it possibly do. rum if ' It was true? Itut it is not true and, only the product of a diseased ima^ina- j tion. I would write hard things SI about him but for his family connections. For their sake he had better have smothered Ids feeling and his pen. The Atlantic Monthly has ! never shown any love for the south, and why he should select that as his or^an passeth comprehension. Fro-' lessor Sledd says the nc^ro is an in- 1/1 ferior race. Then why does he insist that we tfive him a place in our own churches and hotels and railroad cars? It was the work of the Creator that ( ' made him inferior, and he will remain so and neither education nor mi seeKenation will ever change it so far as social equality is concerned. Moses ' ' violated the law of <?od when lie mar rieu mat KtUtopian woman, andhe|,,( had to discard her and Aaron and Miriam cliided him for It long after-, wards. Numbers xii. The story goes according to Josephns, that the Kgyp- vt lians were at war with tlie Klhiop lans and had sulTered defeat in every 11,:1 )>attle until Pharaoh was advised that no one could command his army successfully but Moses. So Moses was given command and lie inarched with tithe army to the borders of Ethiopia da and met the enemy and defeated them ya and then marched on to Saba, the in royal city, and attacked the walls, and ri Tharbis, the daughter of the king, ki saw Moses from the window of hci | in tower, and he was so iiaudsoine that h? I ihc fell desperately in love with him ind sent a meseuger to him to say hat If he would marry Jier she would surrender the city utid army to aim. doses agree to this and their murrlwas at otice eonxuinamted. Then Moses returned with his victorious irmv to Egypt. lie did not take .villi him his Ethiopian wife, but not ong after he married Zippornh, the laughter of Jetlirothe Midianitc. So we must suppose that Moses married the Ethiopian prineess as a war measure and with no idea of keeping his promise.

Wlmt a monstrous falsehoo,. to say Lhat the southern negro is dehumanized. Right here in our town every negro mechanic is employed at good wages, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons. painters and draymen are all busy. Cooks, nurses and washerwomen find constant employment- and they ire not only contented, hut sometimes lare to be merry and laugh. Where lid Sledd get all that rot about kicking and cursing and beating the ne;ro? We never hear of such treatment ni this region. Mr. Milam, a truthful gentleman, whose business keeps him in the street, told me, the other day,' Lhat he had heard but one oath ut.cred by anybody within a year, and hat was by a Northern man towards , i negro who asked him a civil question. Dehumanized, indeed! Ask Fribble and brown, who give their .hops the most patronage. What idiculous folly to demand seats in our hurches for the negroes. They have 'hurchcs of their own that were built nainly by the charity of the white oiks. 'Fhey don't want seats in our ( hurches. They have schools of their t iwii that we support, and they have excursions and baseball and watermel- | ins and funerals and Daughters of , Hon. <)h. for shame on Sledd! 1 lity his family and his kindred, lie . hinks he has found a marc's nest, . ind for lack of something fresh has | aked up Sam Hose again. He la- ( lients the lynchings. but not the out- | ages, and he proposes a remedy. Mr. sledd can set this down: that the ( ynchings will not stop until the out- j ages do. When a negro dehumanizes limself and becomes a veritable least he ought to be lynched, wheher It is Sunday or Monday. Let ti e j ynching g<i on.

THEY ARE VERY BOLD THIEVES Tli?*y Iiim i Country I'ost<>iti cok. ICuil nail Stations anil Store*. Smldi'ii Appearance ami l>iH?ppearaitce. Robberies by the class of criminal known as "yeggs" have been compara tivcly few about New York city. Til "yeggs" flourish in tlie southern am the western part of the state and ii the country districts of all the othe states, especially those in the south. The safe blowing and robbery b; "yeggs" at L'ort Chester last week in dicatcs to those who know the habit of this queer class of criminals that; band is working this way. It is 01 the cards for them to lie heard fron soon in "New .lersey or down on Lonj Island, although in the past tin "yeggs" have bothered Long Islam very little. The men whose business it is toknov all about criminals, their ways am tli" peculiar marks by which thei work may lie told have had a han Lime in studying the "yeggs." Ow reason is that the "yeggs" are a com paratively new class. It is only with in ten years that they have bccomi known in this region, if they won known previously in other parts of tin country detectives here never hear< af it. Very lit lie of their origin is known but that they have a more complete >rgani/.alioti than even t lie cominoi American tramp is well established Their work is all of the same class They loot country postotlices and rail road stations, country stores and oe asionally, imt not often, a country residence. They nse dynamite in blowing opei vit'es always, and they depend upot Hie terror that llieir boldness spread; ?vera neigh I lorhoud for success. Soim if tlie raids that t hoy have mad* right in this state are unequalled fo: boldness by anything ever done hi the stage rohliers of yellow tiction. The "yeggs"-.arc really tramp eriiu inals. They must not lie confuse* with the country road tramp win loots kitchens and lien-rousts, beeaus* they ?l*i not belong t?? that class at al ind hold such petty criminals in great x>n tempt. "The "yeggs" are bright, clevoi liieves, who dress well and plan al llikiv* ikivneol ' "" iv i u i uarc. "I'lioii ;hicf characteristic is their title, 'carlessness. When they mark a plact 'or a raid, tliey don't sneak up to it Jirow out guards and use other pre tuitions. They just inarch up witl heir implements, break open as manj lours as may lie necessary, charge th< safe with dynamite and touch it off I'hen they take what they want iron .lie interior and disappear. If any one interrupts them thej ihoot at him. Almost invariably e 'uslladc follows any attempt to inter 'ere with "yeggs," and this evident villingness to shoot recklessly always las the elfect of keeping people off It must be remembered that tin 'yeggs" work almost exclusively ir ountry places, where there is no or tani/ed police force to interfere witl hem. Some folks think the "yeggs'' art rypsies, but they certainly don't show my signs of belonging to that race. I'licy don't camp out anywhere and hey are seen very little on the road. A'hat road travelling they do is done ty night, as it is a part of their busiless to keep their movements secret. Occasionally "yeggs" are caught. I'lien they are found lo he men of unisnal intelligence. They are of all lationalities. and seem to come from o many different walks of life that lie notion that tliey are a class like he gypsies is exploded. It is the organization of the "yeggs" vhich excites the admiration of men vim nave seen something of it. They lave ways of communicating with one iiiother that are mysterious and elective. They will swinip down on a uunlry postotlice. hlow open the safe, hoot several people, and then j;et way with the loot without leaving lie slightest trace of their movements. I'hey liaven't heen seen coining in and hey haven't been noticed ^ning out. t general alarm sent out over thesuroundin^ country never seems to reult in catching the participants in ny ol' these raids. They seein to nelt away. A remarkable instance occurred ist. summer in Southern part of New fork. A tfantf of about thirty "ye^'s" lescendcd on the place. Instead of obbin^r stores, they carried out a arefully planned raid in the residence (strict. This town has a uniformed olice force ol some thirty men, but espite this the "ye^s" marched in, rent into houses without bothering, i) lind out whether any one was at nine or not. took what they wanted. .i-.. <?i .111> urn' wiiii nnjecteil and ill imo who didn't, and then went way. They walked through the lain streets of the place with their int. tired shots in the air. and so terilied the local police that the latter id not dare to interfere. The next night they came around nd went through the same performnce. The third night they did it gain. ?>n t he three nights they got way with almut $10,000 worth of siler and jewelry, and not one was ares tod. The "yeggs" tiled almul ,'tOO shots uring this time and never injured a erson. They probably never meant i. Their object its shooting so much ml so freely was to create terror, and iey succeeded. Alarms for these marauders were mt far and w ide, hut not one of them as ever capt ured. Where they stayed uring the daytime on this particular lid no one ever found out. although must have been somewhere inside r just outside of the town. And what is more mysterious is hat they did with their loot. They ever could have got away with all iey took from this town themselves, hey must have had some way of lipping it. > Detectives say that the "yep^s" ship everything they steal rltfht Into New York by express. At this end It is handled bv a "fence," and they pet 11 their share when they return at the end of a trip. "Yepes" will be heard of in one place ami next heard of 200 or Jiod miles away. All of their movements >. are mysterious, and the fact that they arc rarely arrested proves their wisdom in this respect. Some detectives profess to believe thai the routes of the "yepps" are all mapped out for them before they take to the road. The date of each raid is as carefully scheduled as a National ica^ue oan game, they believe. This may or may not l?e so. Only s the "yeggs'' can tell that, and "yeggs" take their medicine without saying L. any tiling when arrested, j Hundreds of "yeggs'' live in the Ilowery lodging houses in this city during the winter, it is thought. Tliey prefer tiiese places because they y arc safer there and are ainuiiK companions of the under world. They s are well equipped with money and ent joy life. They stand by one another, I, too, as is shown when a "yegg" is oe, casionally arrested. Money for his , defence, if a defence is worth making, is always forthcoming.- New York I Sun Mis Opening Speech. I The following is the opening speech of Mr. Cole L. I'.lesse at Sumter at the 1 first campaign meeting, June 1?>, l'.?02: b Fellow citizens of South Carolina: 1 appear l?efore you today for the - second time as a candidate for the b ollice of lieutenant governor, and I 2 beg leave to call your attention to . the fact that at my home club, two 1 years ago, 1 received 215 votes out of a total of 253, and in my town and , county I received a large majority of i* the votes cast. i At the meeting of the Factory . Democratic Club of Newberry, of . which I am a member, on the 21st of - April of this year the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: / "Whereas our fellow member, Cole L. Blease, Ksq., is a candidate for the l otlice of lieutenant governor of South i Carolina; and s "Whereas he has always l?een. both ? in private and public life, a true . 'riend to the laboring classes, at all r times advocating measures beneficial ; to us and our interests: he it "Resolved, That we, the members - the Factory Democratic Club of New1 berry, S. C.. do hereby endorse him > for the said position, and recommend him to our fellow laborers and DemoI eratic voters of this State as one L worthy of their confidence and thoroughly competent to discharge the r duties of said otlice, and ask of them 1 to give him their support." r At the meeting of the Democratic r convention of my counyt. held on ? tile 5th da> ol May of this year, the , following lesolution was unanimously - adopted: l "Resolved, That we, the member* r of t he Democratic convention of New; berry county, do hereby endorse Cole l>. mease, ror tlie otlice of iieui tenant go^^ior of South Carolina. and rccom^Ad him to the Democrat* r ie voters o^^k State as one thorougi )y comp<^^^B dischorgc the duties - of said^BHKd. worthy of their con-t j iidenceWid support." i At tli . same convention I was unan. iinously Ve-electcd a member of the ? State Democratic Executive comi mittce for\the thiid term and also elected a delegate to the State Demo* i eratic convention which was held in Columbia on the 21st- day of May. 1 have served three terms as a mom* - her of the house of representatives and twice as presidential elector from I this state, as county chairman of my county, and am now city attorney of Newberry. I mention these matters to show what experience 1 have had and whether or not I have the hacking and endorsement of my home people; and I if any feel that 1 should not mention , them, i plead in extenuation of the fact that I am a candidate before a proud, independent and well Informed people for one of the highest and most responsible ottices within thcii i gift, and that they have a right to know something of my standing at home and my titness for the position. My platform is based on the same principles that 1 advocated two years ago, when 1 was a candidate for this nositiim I ii..i .......i r - > v nv/t vnaii^uu ill \ principles and 1 a in a candidate for the same otlice. 1 favor the national and state Democrat! platforms. I am in favor of the Dispensary law, believing, as 1 do, that it is the best solution of the whiskey problem. 1 am in f Ivor of biennial sessions of i the general assembly. 1 am in favor of a law prohibiting children under twelve years of age from working in cotton mills. 1 am in favor of making liberal appropriations to provide tor our Confederate sotdiers. 1 am in favor of liberal but not extravagant appropriations to our slate institutions of learning, and in favor of building up the free school system so that every white child in ibis state can be given a good common school education in comfortable and convenient school houses. I am in favor of the taxes paid by the white people going to and being used only for the education of white I children. 1 will discuss these dilTerent questions and any others that may be brought into the campaign as best I can in the few minutes allowed me at each campaign meeting, and regret j that 1 have not more time in order that I might fully discuss them, as I iielieve that they deserve the consideratiau <>i each ctf the DenuK'ratic voters ! of this state. Will I * 111 it t Cotton. The South is to have another rival in cotton production. New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists have purchased :tf>0,0U0 acres in Cuha for cotton culture and *l,ooo.ooo will lie expended at once in improvements. I The Cuban crop, however, will hardly be large enough for several years to materially reduce the price. And t here is compensation also in the fact1 that those northern capitalists will soon begin demanding "protection'' i for American cotton against cotton from Kgypt and other foreign countries. and In tliis protection the South will share. . EOUHD DEAD Itf BED : in I HLhum it Man Ahout I'll'ty-live VrHM ill' A|ft?. ij The Columbia State says Thursday , \ morning an unknown man supposed to In: named Johnson was found dead in his lx-d in the Hill house in that city, The man was known to the proprietor of I lie Hill house, as he hud taken several meals there in the last few days lie was found helplessly drunk on Wednesday night and taken to the 11 ill house,where he was (riven a room.

About noon a chambermaid opened the door of the man's room with a pass key in order to clean up the room. She noticed that Johnson was very weak and gasping and ran for help. Officer Marsh was summoned, but by the time lie readied the man lie ceased to breathe, though lie was still warm. I >r. Knowlton was called and pronounced Johnson dead. An inquest was held last night, at which little developed, except that the supposition that the man's name was Johnson had been established by the fact that a lady had heard SlieriH Huford of Newberry addicss him by that name. Several persons testitied, among them Dr. Knowlton. who asserted his belief that the man died from natural causes. A verdict was rendered by the jury expressing t his theory. SherilT I hi ford w; s telegraphed by Coroner \Y. S. (1 recti regarding the indenity ol the man. but up to a late hour last night no answer had been received. The body will be held for iudciititication at the undertaking establishing of McCormick .v I'letscher. "Johnson" was a man of apparently almut Hit) pounds in weight and about "if) years of age. His hair is iron gray closely cropped and his face is shaven except for an iron gray mousclie. Upon the right forearm is tattooed a star and a llower.

Harrison, a prominent citizen of the Walnut Drove neighborhood, of Spartanburg County, had a horrible experience while driving to his home from Spartanburg, a few days ago. The public highway crosses the railroai. down a steep incline, and on one side the track is sunk in a deep cut. Just as Mr. Harrison, who was accompanied by a little girl named l.illie Vcagey, approached. a freight train passe I. and lie considered the crossing safe. As his horse's head reached the centre of the track, however, he heard a shout and looking up saw a material train backing down upon hin at tremendOIK QOnoH rriw* clw.nt l?.wl r.vu. ? ,.v nm III I' II,IU I IJIIlt: 1 It III1 the engineer. 100 yards away, and the nearest car was within twenty feet.

The first car struck the horse's head, and the passing cars rubbed the animal's bent neck until a projecting bolthead caught in a hnme, landing and breaking it. With remarkable intelligence the horse stood lirin. because of the little girl Mr. Harrison did not jump, and in this horrible position they sat until the entire train passed. Aside from the nervous shock. ' which was terrible, the only damage on account of the experience was the broken hamc and an ugly stab in the horse's throat. Saw Slra nj{c Sljjlits. Captain Richard Nye, who was one of those on the steamer W. S. 1'helps, tells of many wonders of Halapagos Islands, which that vessel recently visited. In an interview he said: "The islands are full of minerals as shad is of bones, on Albcrmarle there Is an extinct crater, miles in diameter, in which there is in sight ?u,uuu ions of pure sulphur. The crater is about lo miles inland and a tramway will he necessary for transportation to the coast, hut this should he a small matter, considering the possible prolit. < hie of the queer things Alliemarle island istliat it is overrun with wild dogs. The animals are mongrelbreed and were left on the island by whalers. The dogs have liecome wild and are extremely vicious. They are wolf like in their habits and run in droves." Captain Nye also tells of a remarkable lake on tlie island of Chatham at an elevation of tt.OOO feet above the sea level. This lake, according to the captain, rises and falls with the tide and no sounding line has ever reached its bottom. Many relics of an ancient race were found. < ii-l Tui-iiiiiu to Marble. Dorothy ."stiles, aged 1?*>. residing near Hay City, Mich., is dying from a disease which has battled the physicians. The girl several mout hs ago noticed a peculiar sensation at the joints ol the shoulders, hips and an| kles. One night when taking a b;vJh ! she called her mother to observe that I her heels were perfectly w hite and as hard as stone. This condition was observed also at shoulders and hips. Since then the disease has spread, until now the girl cannot sit up. her hip I joints have lost power to bend, all | motion is gone from her shoulders, and tlie doctors say death must ensue | within a few mouths. The girl takes no nourishment but fluids, and these with dilliculty. Pieces of tlie substance, it is asserted, have been ciiipped ulT from her tiody and seem like pure inarblc. The girl's father attributes the trouble to his having experimented with some clieiuieals in the bathtub, lie thinks lie was not careful j enough alxiut cleaning it. The doctors scout this theory.
