Ilad a Diseased Imagination W hen lie Wrote That Article. Little things fret us more than big ones. If 1 write that Neptune is sixteen hundred millions of miles from the sun and it comes out in print sixteen millions it worries me. If I 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 had a slit under its nose. II I write that 1 walked out into the garden to let my eholer down, meaning my anger, the typo thinks 1 meant my shirt collar, and so changes the spelling to suit his own idea. l!ut since 1 read an editor's defense in a New York paper 1 feel better, for he says it is amazing how few of these mistakes are made in the great dailies that have to be rushed through with lightning speed. The constant pressure on type setters and proof readers is tremendous, but they rarely make any serious blunders, and the intelligent readers can generally correct them in his mind. And so I will not worry any more a)tout it. There are some other little things thr.o arc of more consequence just now. < > 'r cook has quit, and so has the house maid gone olT to Uockmart for a week or two gone to a house party, 1 think. That is all right, lor the cook has been faithful a long time and needed rest. She is a good and keeps clean kitchen, and we have had a house ~ party ourseWcs months, been sick, but dueed to the regular family of live and have but little to cook and can get along on two meals a day. My wife arranged it for me to tire up the stove and till up the kettles and grind the coffee and put on the hominy and then ring the bell for the gills to get up and finish up the breakfast. Sinsaid that if 1 felt like it 1 might sweep out the hall and the front veranda and settle up the front room. Well, of course, 1 had to split up some kindling and bring in the stove wood, but 1 ain getting along fairly well and my wife thinks the exercise is doing me good. Last night she hinted that the veranda was badly tracked up since the rain and neededagood washing. So this morning 1 turned loose the hose pipe on it and she praised me right smart and 1 brought her some roses from my garden. We let her sleep until breakfast is ready, for she cleans up her room and makes up two beds and then sews all day for the grand-children. Hut 1 want that colored house party to break up as soon as possible, for 1 don't hanker after this morning business as a regular job. Mrs. Minims says she likes it. and 1 think she does. She has a good room in the hack yard and good furniture and a handsome lamp to read by, and her little grandson lives with her, and 1 don't know of any colored woman that has a hotter time. In fact. 1 know of lots of good negroes in town who arc contented with their.situnt ion [ and will continue so if they are le alone by the northern fanatics and southern cranks. What cra/.e has come over that man Sledd to cause him to write such a fool piece for the Hoston magazine? What good can it possibly do. even it it was true? Hut it is not tru? and only the product of a diseased imagination. I would write hard tilings about him but for his family connections. For their sake he had better have smothered his feeling and his pen. The Atlantic Monthly has never shown any love for the south, f.t-,/1 I... . I.....1,1 ... < > i\c itllj ll?

Then why does he in- : Hist that wc give him a place in our1! own churches and hotels and railroad ears? it was the work of the Creator that made him Inferior, and he will remain , so and neither education nor mi.see- i genation will ever change it so far as j social equality is concerned.

The story goes, according to .Josephus, that the Egyptians were at war with the Ethiopians and had mi He red defeat In every i battle until I'haraoh was advised that no one could command his army successfully but Moses. So Moses was given command and he marched with the army to the Imrdcrs of Ethiopia i and met the enemy and defeated tliem and then marched on to Saba, the royal city, and attacked the walls, and i Tharbis, the daughter of the king. | saw Moses from the window of hci tower, and he was so handsome t hat grari nui ? she feli desperately in love with him and sent a meseijjrer to hltu to say that If ho would marry .her she would surrender the city ahd army to aim. Moses a^ree to this and their inurrlwas at once consUrtiamted. Then Moses returned with liis victorious urmv to Ktfypt. lie did not take with him his Ethiopian wife, hut not long after he married Zipporah, the daughter of .fcthrothe Midianitc. So we must suppose that Moses married the Kthiopiau princess as a vi.ii luuinure anu wun mi idea oi keeping his promise. At any rate it caused trouble and name in the family. and so it lias done ever since whenever a white person mates with a negro. What a monstrous falsehood to say that the southern negro is dehumanized. (tight here in our town every negro mechanic is employed at good wages. Itlacksmiths, carpenters, masons. painters and draymen are all busy. Cooks, nurses and washerwomen lind constant employment and they are not only contented, hut sometimes dare to he merry and laugh. Where did Sledd get all that rot about kicking and cursing and beating the negro? We never hear of such t reatment in this region. Mr. Milam, a truthful gentleman, whose business keeps him on the street, told me, the other day, that he had heard but one oath uttered by anybody within a year, and that was by a Northern man towards a licgro who asked him a civil question. Dehumanized, indeed! Ask Tribble and Itrown, who give their shops the most patronage. What ridiculous folly to demand seats in our churches for the negroes. They have churches of their own that were built mainly by the charity of the white folks. They don't want seats in our churches. They have schools of their own that we support, and they have excursions and baseball and watermelons and funerals and Daughters of /ion. (Hi. for shame on Sledd! 1 pity his family and his kindred, lie thinks he has found a mare's nest, and for lack of something fresh lias raked up Sam llose again, lie laments the lynchings, but not the outrages, and he proposes a remedy. Mr. Sledd can set this down: that the lyucmugs win 1101 slop until the outrages do. When a negro dehumanizes himself and becomes a veritable beast be ought to be lynched, whether it is Sunday or Monday. Let ti e lynching go on. That is the sentiment of our people, and let lioston and the Atlantic Monthly and Sledd howl. We are used to that. Not long ago we had a lynching in Rome that was to my notion. The beast was strung up in Itroad street in the daytime and shot to pieces, and nobody wis disguised. The judge lived there, and sherilT and town marshal and policemen and a military company, and the governor wasn't far away, but not a soul said nay. That suits me exactly. Kill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. To The V uteri of South Carolina. It alfords us pleasure to give you our estimate of Mr. C.. Lawrence Walker, a cat dldate for the otllce of Comptroller General for South Carolina, which estimate is based upon several years acquaintanceship with Mr. Walker, and a close observation of his administration of the affairs of County Treasurer for Greenville Couuty for eight years. First, lie is a man of irreproachable character, strict integrity and tine business ability. Seeound. As an otlicer he is faithful and conscientious in the discharge of his duties, and. In the administration of the atfairs of hisotlice as County Treasurer for Greenville County, he so systeinati/.cd the business of the Otllce that we doubt if a single error was committed by him in his transactions with the public during his whole term of otlicc. We are not extravagant when we say a better otlLer could not he found. Third. I lis services as County Treasurer thereby familiarizing him with the fiscal atfairs of the County, and his services as Chief Clerk in the Comptroller General's oil ice forthree years, thereby familiarizing him with the duties of that otlicc, added to the <iualitieations above mentioned, make him particularly adapted to discharge the duties of the otlicc to which he aspires. We trust that you will investigate his character and <|Uallticat ions before casting your vote. Hamlin Iteattie. President National Hank, < Ireenvillc Frank Hammond, President Peoples Hank.

THEY ARE VERY BOLD THIEVES Tli??y l>o?.t ('ounlry I'ostoltl cow, ICail road Stations ami Stores. Sudden A|)|?eiiraitcc ami Disappearance. Robberies by the cli.? of criminals known as "yeggs" have been comparatively few about New York city. The "yeggs" flourish in the southern and the western part of the state and in the country districts of all the other states, especially those in the south. The safe blowing and robbery by "yeggs" at Port Chester last week indicates to those who know the habits of this quet r c.a>s of criminals that a band is working this way. It is on the cards for them to be heard from soon in New .lersey or down on Long island, although in the past the "/eggs" have bothered Long Island ery little. The men whose business it is to know all about criminals, their ways and tlie peculiar marks by which their work may lie told have had a hard time in studying the "yeggs." One reason is that the "yeggs" are a comparatively new class. It is only w ithin ten years that they have become known in this region, if they were known previously in other parts of tlie country detectives here never heard of it. Very little of their origin is known, but that they have a more complete organization than even the common American tramp is well established. Their work is all of the same class. They loot country postollices and railroad stations, country stores and occasionally, but not often, a country residence. They use dynamite in blowing open safes always, and they depend upon the terror that their boldness spreads over a neighborhood lor success. Some of the raids that they have made right in this state are unequalled for boldness bv anvthiiur ever done l?v the stage robbers of yellow tietion. The "yeggs" ;are really tramp criminals. They must not he confused with the country road tramp who loots kitchens and hen-roosts, because they do not belong t< tha* class at all and hold such petty criminals in great contempt. "The "yeggs" are bright, clever thieves, who dress well and plan all their operations with care. Their chief characteristic is their utv." fearlessness. When they mark a place for a raid, they don't sneak up to it. throw out guards and use other precautions. They just march up with their implements, break open as many doors as may be necessary, charge the safe with dynamite and touch it off. Then they take what they want from the interior and disappear. If any one interrupts them they shoot at him. Almost invariably a fusiladc follows any attempt to interfere with "yeggs," and this evident willingness to shoot recklessly always has tlie etTcct of keeping people otT. It must be remembered that the "yeggs" work almost exclusively in country places, where there is no organized police force to interfere with them. Some folks think the "yeggs" are gypsies, hut they certainly don't show any signs of belonging to that race. They don't, camp out anywhere and they are seen very little on the road. What road travelling they do is done by night. as it is a part of their business to keep their movements secret. Occasionally "veggs" are caught,. Then they are found to i)e men of unusual intelligence. They arc of all nationalities, and seem to come from so many different walks of life that the notion that they are a class like the gypsies is exploded. It, is the organization of the "yeggs" which excites the admiration of men who have seen something of it. They have ways of communicating with one another that are mysterious and effective. They will swoop down on a I country postotlice. blow open the safe, shoot several people, and then get away with the loot without leaving the slightest t race of t heir movements. They haven't been seen coming in and they haven't been noticed going out. A general alarm sent out over the surrounding count ry never seems to result in catching the participants in any of these raids. They seem to melt away. A remarkable instance occurred last summer in Southern part of New York. A gang of aitout thirty "yeggs" descended on the place. Instead ol robbing stores, they carried out a I Ii-nfiillu . a-........ I i ill III! I eSHU'HCO distrii'l. This town has :t uniformed police force of some thirty men. but despite this the "yeggs" marched in. went into lionses without bothering, to liiul out whether any one was at home or not. took what they wanted, shot, at any one who objected and at some who didn't, and then went away. They walked through the main streets of the place with their loot, tired shots in the air. and so terrified the local police that the latter did not dare to Interfere. The next night they came around land went through the same perforin* |ancc. The third night they did it again. On the three nights they got away with about $lu,000 wortli of sil\ r and jewelry, and not one was arrested. The "yeggs" tired about too shots 1 (luring this time and never injured a person. They probably never meant I to. Their object in shooting so much land so freely was to create terror, and j they succeeded. Alarms for these marauders were I sent far and wide, hut not one of them i was ever captured. Where t hey stayed j | during the daytime on this particular raid no one ever found out. although 1 it must have been somewhere inside 1 or just outside of the town. And what is more mysterious is 1 what they did with their loot. They f never could have got away with all ' ttiey took from this town themselves. 1 j They must have had some way of 1 shipping it. ^ IJ v ' Detectives say that the "yet*#*" ship everything tticy steal rltfht into New York by express. At this end It is bundled bv a "fence," and they tfet their share when they return ullheeud of a trip. "Yckks" will be heard of in one place and next heard of 200 or aoo miles away. All of their movements are mysterious, and the fact that they are rarely arrested proves their wis dom in this respect. Some detectives profess to 1 relieve that the routes of the "yeggs" are all mapped out for them before they take to the road. The date of each raid is as carefully scheduled as a National league ball game, they believe. 'Phis may or iuay not Ire so. Only the "yeggs'* can tell that, and "yeggs" take their medicine without saying anything when arrested. Hundreds of "yeggs" live in the liuwery lodging houses in this city during the winter, it is thought. They prefer these places because they are safer there and are among companions of the under world. They are well equipped vlth money and enjoy life. They stand l>y one another, too. as is shown when a "yegg" is occasionally arrested. Money for his defence, if a defence is worth making, is always forthcoming. New York Sun. 111* Opening Speech. The following is the opening speech of Mr. Cole L. Hlesse at Sumter at the first campaign meeting, .June Hi, D?i)2: Fellow citizens of South Carolina: 1 appear before you today for the second time as a candidate for the otlice of lieutenant governor, and I beg leave to call your attention to the fact that at my home club, two years ago, I received 2l."? votes out of a total of and in my town and county I received a large majority of the. votes cast. At the meetii.g of the Factory Democratic Club of Newberry, of which 1 am a member, on the 21st of April of this year the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Whereas our fellow member. Cole C. Ulca.se. Rsq., is a candidate for the otflcc of lieutenant governor of South Carolina; and "Whereas he has always been, both in private and publie life, a true rriend to tire laboring classes, at all times advocating measures beneficial to us and our interests: be it "Resolved, That we, the members the Factory Democratic Club of Newberry, S. C.. do hereby endorse him for the said position, and recommend him to our fellow laborers and Democratic voters of this State as one worthy of their confidence and thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of said office, and ask of them to give him their support." At the meeting of the Democratic convention of mv eounyt. held on the *>th da>' of May of this year, the following lesolulion was unanimous.y adopted: "Resolved, That we, the members of the Democratic convent ion of Newberry county, do hereby endorse Cole L. It lease, a-'Im f?r the office of lieutenant go^Mior of South Carolina, and rec?.him to tin* Democratic voters State as one thorougly comptj^^^A disehorge the duties of said^HHHuLwort hy of their con-, tidence Wtd support." Atthll same eonvention I w.? "nanimously re-elected a member of the State Democratic Executive committee for\the thiid term and also elected a delegate to the State Democratic convention which was held in Columbia on the 21st day of May. I have served throe terms as a member of the house of representatives and twice as presidential elector from this state, as county chairman of my county, and am now city attorney of Newberry. I mention these matters to show \vh:it ntllm-ioiu'n I li.itrn l??#l .....1 ...i... -?.v - ..rv. . x. .v.*. a nit tv/ iiau aim >t I It" ther or not I have the hacking ami endorsement of my home people; and it any fool that 1 should not mention them, 1 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 offices within their gift. and that they have a right to know something of my standing at home and my tilncss for the position. My platform is based on the same principles that 1 advocated two years ago, when 1 was a candidate for this position. 1 have not changed my principles and I am a candidate for the same otlico. 1 favor the national and state Democrat! platforms. I am in favor of the Dispensary law, believing, as I do, that it is the best solution of the whiskey problem. 1 am in favor of biennial sessions of the general assembly. i am in favor of a law prohibiting children under twelve years of age from working in cotton mills. 1 am iu favor of making liberal appropriations to provide for our Confederate sotdiers. 1 am in favor of liberal but not extravagant appropriations to our state institutions of learning, and in favor of building up the free school system so that every white child in this state can he given a good common school cducarion in comfortable and convenient school houses. 1 am in favor of the taxes paid by the white people going to and being used only for the education of white children. 1 will discuss these dill'ereut questions and any others that may be brought into the campaign as best 1 can in tlie few minutes allowed me at each campaign meeting, and regret that 1 have not more time in nril..i that I might fully discuss them, as I U'lievc that they deserve the consideratian oi each of the Democratic voters of this state. Will rianl Cotlnii. The South Is to have another rival in cotton production. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists have purchased .'150,000 acres in Cuba for cotton culture and $1,000,000 will I lie expended at once in improvements, i The Cuban crop, however, will hardly lie large enough for several years to materially reduce the price. And [here is compensation also in the fact 1 that these northern capitalists will >0011 begin demanding "protection" ror American cotton against cotton 'rom Kgvpt and other foreign couiiries. and In this protection the South sill share.

AlHiut 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, hut by the time lie reached the man he ceased I to breathe, though he was still warm. I>r. Knowlton was called and pronounced Johnson dead. An inquest was held last night, at which little devoloped, except that the supposition that the man's name was Johnson had been established by llie fact that a lady had heard Shoritr I'.uford of Newberry addioss him by that name. Several persons testified, among them Dr. Knowlton. who asserted his belief that the man died from natural causes. A verdict was rendered by the jury expressing this theory. Sheriff Bnford w; s telegraphed by Coroner \Y. S. D recti regarding the indenity ot the man. but up to a late hour last night no answer had been received. The body will be held for iudentitieation at the undertaking establishing of McCorinick I Metscher. "Johnson" was a man of apparent-!

Harrison, a prominent citizen of the Walnut Drove neighborhood, of Spart anburg County, had a horrible experience while driving to his home from Spartanburg, a icw nays ago. J in- public highway crosses the railroad 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 J little girl named Lillie Yeagey. ap- ! proachcd. a freight train passed, and j lie considered the crossing safe. As! his horse's head reached the centre of i the track, however, he heard a shout and looking up saw a material train backing down upon him at tremendous speed. The shout had come from the engineer, loo yards away, and the nearest car was within twenty feet. With a powerful etFort Mr. Harrison Jerked the horse to its haunches: but the hill behind was too steep to admit of retreat by backing. The tirst car struck the horse's head, and the passing cars rubbed, the animal's bent neck until a projecting bolthead caught in a hame, bending and breaking it. With remarkable intelligence the horse stood lirni. Itecause 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 shuck, 1 which was terrible, the only damage jon account of the experience was the broken hame and an ugly stab in the j horse's throat. Saw Strange Sights. Captain Richard Nye. who was one Of those on the steamer W. S. Phelps, tells of many wonders of Galapagos Islands, which that vessel recently visited. In an Interview he said: "The islands are full of minerals as | shad is of lmiiios. on Alberniarle there Is an extinct crater, miles in diameter, in which there is in sight 40,000 tons of pure sulphur. The crater is about 10 miles inland and a tramway will be necessary for transportation to the coast, but this should >e a small matter, considering the possiltle profit. One of t lie queer things All?emarle island istliat if is overrun with wild dues. The animals are mongrel breed and were left on the island hy whalers. The do^s have beeome wild and are extremely vicious. They are wolf like in their hahitsand run in droves." Captain Nye also tells of a remarkable lake on l he island !: of Chatham at an elevation of ft.000 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.
