ntied f toni J^B ^^TjrfcSlOT TRAINS BROt'OHT JtKN. 1 W^F Senile of the freight trains that i cam A ib during the early evening Mr brought little groups of armed meu from Hlackvllle, Denmark, Fairfax aud other points along the line of the toad. When midnight arrived there j1 was a goodly crowd around the station and the ijegroes had by this time been intimidated so that there were but few of them who dared to show their faces. The crowd discussed the trouble long aud seriously. The events of the past few hours were reviewed at. great length. The daredevil acts, the peculations and the desperate deeds of the negroes for years past were recalled by the crowd. The good counsel prevailed against all these arguments until a long, lanky South Carolinian whose name is legion for all the country around about as a "square and fair man," got up and called attention to the fact that the negro bvans had shot an old man in the back for no rhyme or reason, aud that ii was oy me merest accident mat a southern woman with her babe in her arms had not been killed by the same miscreant that sent her aged husband to his death. CROWD READY KOR ACTION. That latter the argument and the crowd bewail to make preparations. One or two of the best men in the community insisted that an innocent man should not be killed aud additional proof was asked for. A pi m was then adopted that proved to be successful so Tar as discovering who the gtlilty negro was. The crowd waited until nearly 2 o'clock before anything was done and then the action wait summary. There was a guard around the jail addition to the town marshal), H. 1>. II. l'hiii. The guard was told to stand aside. So was Pliin. This he at tirst declined to do and lie positively refused to give up the keys. The crowd brushed him aside as if he were a child and broke the lock 011 the > > frail doors and brought the three negroes, Johnson. Felder aud Ilartwell out, one after the other. The negroes L all expected to lie lynched and their ^ fear was great. It was understood that they knew of the acts of the Kvans boys aud they were made to tell what they knew. At tirst they did this very reluctantly. One by one they were cowliided within an inch of their lives and then they told their stories, it is remarkable that all l three of the negroes, who like all of I uieir lima lie in icur ana uc miner an circumstances, should have told the same tales. Charles Kvans shot Mr. Phillips, they all said. 11 is brother helped him to get ready for the crime and went witli him when lie shot into the Phillips household. That Jim was an accessory to the crime they proved by stories that tallid, absolutely, hut eacli said that it was Charles who tired the shot. TUK HEAL WOKK OK THE NIOIIT. After the negroes had been beaten so that they will be marked for life they were put back in the guard house and then began the real work of the night. Kvans was taken out and carried to the outskirts of the town. He was asked if he wished to make a nULemarI andir. tep'.V said that if the crowd would only let him live until morning that he would tell them who committed the crime. lie was denied this privilege and told that he must die. Then he tried to place the crime on his brother. He was asked to tell where his brother was. He said that he did not know, but he kuew that he could And him by morning or some of his friends could. The mob, with the thought of old Phillips and his wounded children in their minds, laughed in derision. HUNOKY EOK Til Kill l'HEY. '"Take him out in the woods. We will teach every negro within 1,000 miles of here to keep their guns away from women and old men,'' cried the riugleader of the mob of now maddened men. They lifted the negro his yellow face shining in the lights of the lanterns, bodily from the ground and carried him out in a little woods beyond the town?not very far, to lie sure, not more than 200 yards at the utmost, from the house where the old soldier's lifcblood was oozing out slowly, and some of them would have carried him further but for the fact that the string of lies that he cried out on the rpight air seemed to enrage them more and more?at every step they took. nUHLED INTO ETKUNITY. Finally they put him down on the ground and a semi-circle of men stood about him?some with their rilles raised for fear that lie, noted as a fleet-footed negro, would escape?and , the customary piece of rope was pro. duced. It took but a moment then to put it about his neck and the cowardly brute was told to make his peace with his God. lusted he begged for mercy. ''Ask 1'hilhps," was the laconic reply. and the rope was made taut. Now stand back men and riddle the brute, so that every negro that comes this way Wednesday may have his lesson." Two hundred guns were tired at the word and when your correspondent went to the scene Wednesday mornthere were Just 12 wounds in the body. THE AWFUL 8IOIIT A LESSON. The negro made an ugly picture, the sun steaming down on his coppernnlnraH tana -.n,I llu, Art .i.,ln.. l'"V U.UUU "ll>'t"UK from IiIh wounds. Hut his dead face was as nothing to the live ones of the negroes about the scene. Despite the fact that they knew that there is danger for every negro in the county, until after Mr. 1'hillips dies, like a murderer to the scene of his crime, they 1 hailed hack and camped around the < spot. Up to late hour Wednesday 1 evening the txxly had not been cut down, the towns-people leaving it swinging from the limb of the tree all day, that it might teach the lesson i that they said was so much desired in . I the country and from which they i a hoped much good effect would B emanate. B Meantime down th? shaded country I lane but a short distance away there < B is another picture, it is within the 1 H9k.

When your correspondent jntered the room the woUttdcd man tiac^. just passed though one of his paroxysms of pain. In a moment of consciouness he asked with some pathos in his voice what any one could have against him that could huve caused the deed. The two sons are half crazed over the suffering that they brought on their father, and thus far the physicians have been unable to relieve his pain. The fact that he is alive at all is a mystery and it is thought that he cannot possibly li7e until morning. A UOOD COMMUNITY. Mr. Phillips was employed as the nvprsppr of Mr II T. Snlnmnnu n wealthy merchant and farmer of the neighborhood. Mr. Solomons said Thursday that In ten years' residence in the community he had not seen a half dozen drunken men of any description, and that the citizens were a peaceful, lawbidlng people. The assassination of his overseer he regards as the most horrible thing that ever occurred in the community, and although he had nothing to do with the lynching he did not condemn it. The Inquest will be held Thursday morning. It is not expected that anything will come of the inquest, however, as the lynchers are sworn to secrecy, aud try as he would your correspondent could learu nothing of the identy of any of them. Information was received here late this afternoon that Jim Evans had given himself up in Orangeburg. The consensus of opinion waa that it was best thing that could happen to the community if he had, as scouting parties had becu out all day long and if the other Evans boy had been captured it would undoubtedly have fared hard with him. Neither of the wounds to Mr. Philips' children were at all serious and they were up and about the village. No NKOROK8 IN* NORWAY. Not a negro was seen in the place Wednesday except a few old and trusted servants who condemn the action of the Evans desperadoes as much as the white people of the community. It has been feared all Wednesday that there might be trouble agaiu that night as it is known that the negroes have been congregating in the country nearby here. The sheiiff did not seem tn nntnvlnin fMn foo*. n.wl (lw, ^.....^4 uv tii vci t tii ii bum ii'tti uuu biic it'^uunb of some of the citizens that. Oov. Heywan' l>e asked for troops was not regarded. That the negroes are still much stirred up, however, cannot be questioned. The saw mill near here and the planing mill where some .'10or 40 negr^s are employed had to shut down because they could get no negro labor. On the other hand a number of negroes just outside or the to ton are working quietly in the fields and the hope, if not the expectation, is in the hearts of all that the trouble is at an end. MOB KILIEb NEGRO. Nobody MeeuiH to Know Anything of tJuilty Put-lion. A dispatch from Anderson Thursday night says: lleuben Elrod, a respected old negro who lives near Piedmont, was shot and killed in his own home about 10 o'clock last night, and three negro women, who were occupants of the same house were given a severe whipping. l>etails of the affair arc meagre. Magistrate Ilowen held an inquest over the body of the dead negro t'tday. The verdict of the jury was that he came to his death at the hands of parties unknown. The women who testified at the inquest, said thai alxmt 10 o'clock last night a crowd of about f>0 white men came to the house and after shooting and killing El rod, gave them a severe tieating and warned them to leave the county. The women said they did not recogonize any of their assailants, hut that they did not live in that community. This is all that is definitely known. The general supposition is that the women were objectionable to the people of the community and that a posse of citizens went to the house to chastise them and drive them away and that Elrod resisted them and was killed. The affair is strongly condemned by the people in ana around Piedmont and a thorough investigation will likely be had. Shot 11Ih lUval. Hecau.se Edward May, went to see a young lady near the mouth of big Ugly Creek, in Lincoln County, W. Va., he got the enmity of Learner Adkins, of the neighborhood, who wanted him to cease visiting the girl, lie went Thursday evening Li see the young lady and was followed by Adkins who ran him off the premises with a big revolver, shooting him in the right side aliove the hip, probably fatally. Adkins is in jail at Hamlin, and the young lady is prostrated over the affair, Adkins was rt*>*WT*Tl by t he girl some time since, wlft-n he made threats, it is alleged, to kill any other suiL>r for her hand. KariiierM Combine. The North Louisiana Cotton Planter's Association, at its meeti 111/ at Shreveport last week, adopted the following. It is furtlier stipulated, agreed and understood Ity tlie parties to tills organization tliat all the cotton seed raised or controlled by the inemliers of this association during the season of 190J and HUH shall lie disposed of by or under the sanction and supervision of the executive council of said association. Killed by Tornado. Eight person are known to have been killed in a tornado which swept lackson County, Minn., Thursday evening. The dead arc Mrs. Jos. Kritzer and two children of Heron Lake, Daniel, Ella and Nettie Gallagher, of Wilder, Minn., and two unidentified men. The storm lirst struck four miles northwest of Wilder, then turned eastward, laying bare a strip forty rods wide and twelve miles long. The damage to farm buildings is heavy.

The First regiment of Mllitu of the State will go into camp at Columbia on the 20th of July, the Second regiment will be camped at Greenville one week later and the Third regiment will go to Anderson the first week in August. The time and place of encampment of the eavalry regi- ! ment has not yet been designated. ( The Naval Reserves will uot take part in this encampment, the government 1 making other provision?, for them. This is the outcome of the deliberation of the "war college board ' of the State militia, if such a designation is apropos for the commission which met in Columbia Wednesday. At this meeting there were present Gcv. Ileyward, Gen. Frost, Assistant General Patrick, Gen. Wilie Joi.es, Col. J. C. Hoyd, of Greenville, Col. I). (). Herbert, of Orangeburg, Col. Henry Schachte, of Charleston, and Col. Sparkman, of Georgetown, commanding the cavalry regiment. Rock Hill, Camden, Sumter, Charleston, Anderson, Greenville and Columbia submitted bids for the encampment of all or of part of the troops. Each of these places offered | in writing to furnish camp sites, drill grounds, water, lights, fuel and free transportation of baggage. Camden made an attractive offer of the polo grounds, and may yet be selected as the place for the cavalry regiment to go into camp. It was decided to limit the number of each company to HO men. CBNTKAL. CAM1* NEXT YEAH. A resolution was passed to the effect that: "It is the sense of this committee that a central drill ground be located and that the regiments be ordered in turn to encamp at that central drill ground." It was also decided to have a seven days' encampment on tive days' pay. In fact the matter of linances worried tire committee no little. As suggested in The State the appropriation would hardly hold out if the plans then in view should have been carried out, for the troops from the up country wanted to go to Charleston and the troops from the coast wanted to go to Anderson. HIOII TIDE INTERVENED. Rut after investigation it wes found that the hour in the afternoon most suited to drill work and to Inspection would find the hcach at the Isle of Palms covered with water, and that most attractive camp site was ruled out, and the First regiment was ordered to Columbia instead, saving the encampment fund several hundred dollars. The matter of transportation worried the committee no little, and the resolution practically fixing Columbia as the place of encampment for all of the militia hereafter is regarded as the only solution of the transportation problem.

Section Director liauer has issued the following crop bulletin: The week ending 8 a. m. Monday, Jnne 29, 1903, had a mean temperature of 7H decrees which is about 4 degrees below normal. The nights continue too cool for the favorable development of cotton. There was more than the usual amount of cloudiness, and there is an i Indicated need of more sunshine for corn, cotton and melons. There were local high winds accompanying thunderstorms that caused slight damage over limited areas. The western half of the State had beueticial rains on the 22nd and 20th, the latter heavy enough to stop cultivation for the remainder of the week, but the rain was needed to soften cruited lands that had become too hard to plow. The central and northeastern countries bad rain nearly every day, with some excessive rains that washed lands and rendered all bnt hillsides too wet to cultivate, in Ham well, Hamberg, Orangeburg, Herkeley, Williamsburg, Sumter, Clarendon, Florence, Darlington, Marion and Marlboio, and parts of adjoining counties, crops are sullering from lack of work and excess of moisture. The immediate coast counties had moderated and beneticial rains. The average Vain fall for the State was nearly two inches. Hail storms occurred in many counties, serious damage by hail was reported from Herkeley, Marlboro and Saluda counties only. The general conditions of all crop is better than any time this season, but the improvement is comparatively slight in many places, and ail cultivated Held crops need dry weather to permit cultivation, and to rid them of grass. They also need more sunshine to give them a healthier color, and greater warmth to stimulate to more rapid growth. The corn crop is fairly promising, except in a few central counties where lack of cultivation and an excess of moisture has given it a sickle color and a stunted growth. Early corn is being laid by in the eastern and central counties, with many Helds in grassy condition. It is tasseling. Hottom land corn has not recovered from the effect of the recent Hoods and is poor. There is general improvement in cotton over last week both in color and growth, hut the plants, continue small and in Dlaces still lack- a healthy color, while stands are broken and irregular. Lice are less prevalent than last week. First blooms are reported, since the l?ih, from the eastern and central parts of the State but blooming is not general. Last year cottonflfe in full bloom by the 1st of July. ^oilr"woTk of cleaning fields has made Vapid progress but mauy fields are still grassy, and some have not been chopped to stands. Sea island cotton is small, but vigorous and healthy. Tobaoco curing is in progress. The tobacco crop lias improved recently, and now rauges from fair to exceedingly tine. Rice is doing well. Cantalope shipments have begun. Hay meadows, sweet potatoes and cane look tine. The fruit prospects are less promising, especially for apples and grapes. Gardens are tine. Northern Outrages. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal makes a formidable presentation of "northern outrages" against the negro during the last three months. In 21 cases attempts, more or less successful, Lave l?een made by mobs to hang and burn negroes in the States of Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Missouri. Dr. Biggers Huckleberry Cordial, for the Bowels and Children Teething. It is THE GREAT SOUTHERN REMEDY for the l>owcls. It is one of the most pleasant and otlieacious remedies for all summer complaints. At a season when violent attacks of the bowels are so frequent, some speedy relief should be at hand. The wearied mother, losing sleep by nursing the little one teething, sliould use this medicine. FROM HENRY W.GRADY. The Constitution Editoral Rooms. Atlanta, Ga., May 23,18#7. Dr. Waller A. Taylor, Atlanta, Oa.: Dear Sir:?I have never given a certificate on merits of any medicine, but I take pleasure in breakng my rule on this subject in behalf of your Diggers Huckleberry Cordial. It is t lie best medicine I have ever seen for use in the family. Fifty cents invested in a bottle of this medicine, and put on a shelf convenient for use in the beginning of any iiowe 1 trouble, will often save life, and will save in almost any family ten time its cost in doctors' bills. I have a friend whose life, in my opinion, was saved by the prompt use of this cordial, it ought to be in euery family in the land, especially at this season of the year. I take pleasure in thus testifying to it merits. Very truly vours, HKNItY W. GRADY. For sale by all druggists, 2f>c to ;*>0e. per l?ottle. Haltiwauger-Taylor Drug Co., l*ro|>rivtortt. At Inula, (in.

"I am no advocate of lynching 01 of mob law, but X would rather see a community wrought to the highest pitch over crimes that would seem impossible this side of hell than to re main ajp^thetio." was the declaration of the I^ey(. L>r. W. A. Bartlett at the First (^Congregational churcl of Chlcogo oh Sunday in a pre lude on "Lynching from Anotbei Point of View." I)r. Bartlett said among othei things: "I havfe seen so many ser mons, eaiuiriais ana resolutions de nouncing lynching and mob law that dne gets the Impression that the citi zens who hang or turn the destroyei of life and ail that is held sacred b> womanhood are the race offender) rather than the monster whom thej destroy. "We seem to be so absorbed witt the majesty of this vague term 'law that the notion appears to prevai that the real criminals are those wh( do not wait for legal processes, aiu the violator of womanhood Is th< abused party. "We shudder at the torture of th( criminal who is burned, but apparent ly forget to shudder for the iunocenl girl whose mental and spiritual agon: is tenfold greater than that of tb< tire. This is not a race problem ex cept so far as one race are the offend ers. The white man who commits th< same crime is just as guilty. "The indiguaut uprising of a com munlty and some of the best men ii it to avenge a wrong of such awfu magnitude may be technically law less, but the spirit which causes th< uprising is the reflection of a liiglie clvlization. There are crimes s dreadful that the pure and the chiv alrous and the strong find it well nigl impossible to endure the thought tha such a degenerate should pollute th earth by Ills presence. It is easy t theorize about the anarchy of mo law, but the same band which peune the calm editorial might be the firs to grasp the torch if it was a mothci wife or daughter who was the victim "1 say that when you look at lynching from another view point it i simply the bursting forth of au indig nation and loathing that will not b checked, la the Old Testament day they made short work of such an ol fender. "Lynching is certainly a bad metho and forms the habit of disorder an< makes men bloodthirsty. Hut if it i to be avoided there certainlv is calle for a more sure and speedy trial o these wretches who often bra/.enl deny crime amid red tape of le^a processes, but confess abjectly whei fronted with determined men. It i useless to bririK to trial men who ris up to protect their tiresldes. Th community will not hear it. If me object to be burned let them ceas from crimes which make a natio sick."
