Summary of . iv^ent Roosevelt's
Message to Congress.
FLAYS THE TUU3T.
And Says They Should Not Be Allowed
to Make Campaign Contributions.
Pleads for Army andj Navy
as Best Ageney for Peace.
Other Suggestions.
The message of F^^'dent Roosevelt
read before the second boss ion of
the Fifty-nlnthlcongress, consists of
nearly 25,000 words.
Only twenty live words are devoted
to the Panama canal. A special message
will be sent congress later dealing
with this most absorbing question.
For tbo first time In many years
the message deals more with the past
than the future. A feature of the
message Is the sitn pi>tlsd form of spell
ing and Is one of che first etUeial doo
uments given to the public aiooe this
abbreviated method was adopted.
His first recommendation Is that
In furure inexorable^^ws be ontoted
prohibiting oorporatrons from contributing
to polltloal cam pal* oa.
The seoond paragraph of the mee
sage deals with the government's right
of appeal In orlminal oases and embodies
an earnest plea for Buch laws as will
give the government this privilege.
The praetloa of setting aside judgments
and granting now titles is vigorously
oondemed by the prosid?nt>.
The president contends that the
right ef lujunotlon in labor oases
should be ahollsed aud he declares It
and instrument whioh is savagely
abused in many Instances.
The duties, as well as the good
opportunities, of judges are discussed
in detail and tho president makes an
espooial plea for a higher and more
effective jadioary ' throughout the
oountry.
Lynching is oondemmed in the
most emphatic lauizuaire and the rao.p.
riot in Atlanta is pointed to as one of
the evil results of race passion.
As a remedy for race hatred and a
preventive for lynching the president
points to earlyschool training and
manual eduoation of both raoes.
Capital and labor are disoussed at
great length, with remedies suggest
ed and moral lessons pointed out.
The message deolares that muoh of
the friotion between the employer
and tho employe is the result of the
work of the demagogue and urges
that the two classes get on better
terms of acqualntaneship.
The eight hour law is approved in
the United States, but shown to be
very undesirabe in Panama, where
the conditions and men are totally
different.
The labor of women and children
in sweatshogs and faotorles is scored
and better and more stringent laws
against it urged.
The liability of the employer is
given especial attention by the president
and pertinent suggestions made
In reference to who shall share tho
responsibility for accident to the employe.
The president believes prompt and
searching inquiries should always be
made lu disputes between capital and
labor, and arbitration employed
wherever possible.
The president insists that coal
lands, still owned by the government,
should be held and leased to miners
on a royalty basis.
Several pares of the message are
devoted to aAivlew of the term corporation,
the^feneral effeots of trosta
and the legislation already inaugurated
to permit the possibility of competition.
The messagos endorse the Inheritance
tax and approves the tax on in
oomes. The president states that
the rioh man is under a peculiar obligation
to tfce goverernment for protection
which the poor man docs not
owe.
Teohuioal and industrial training
are urged as the best foundation for
the young man and the young woman
to build for the future. The tiller
of the soil, the mechanic and all
others who earn their bread by the
weat of thelijbrow are given earnest
advioe.
Irrigation and forest preservations
are brief/ mentioned.
The president cordially endorses the
movement to build a memorial amphitheatre
at Arlington for use of
the. Grand Army of the Reonbiin nn
manorial days.
The president calls eepeelal attent
tlon to need of national laws relating <
to marriage and divorce. Race suicide,
from a Keoievaltlan point of
view is given particular attention in <
the message. 1
The president urges that more en- f
oouragement be given American shipping
that hotter water mail routes be
establtsh^and faster and larger ships
be put Into servloe for the oonntry's
oommeroe.
Currency reform is urged and the
past fluetatlons in lean money reviewed,
with several suggestions for national
bank issues.
A lower tariff or else free trade in
Philllphine products Is strongly nrg- i
ed, with the declaration that all Is
well In the oriental possesions and
pease almost secured.
The menage instate that American *
oltlsenahlp shoule be conferred upon i
the ofttiaens of Port# Rleo and the *x
penaes of tho federal eourt of Porto
Rloo should be borne by the United
States government.
It is stated that the ad ml n 1st ration
of the affairs of the Phllllpphlnea,
Hawaii, Porto Rloo and othef Insular
pxftssslons should be dlreoted by |the
department of state or department
of war of the United States,
The Alaska Yukon P&olflo exposition
meets the endorsement of the
president who ask that proper en
couragement be given the enterprise
which has been launched by Alaska. ,
Fair treatment to all nations and
espeolal oordtal hospitality for the for- 1
elgners within our gates are urged by 1
tbe president. Ho reooomenda that I
an aot be passed providing naturali- ,
zatlon for all Japanese who come to
America Intending to become cltl- '
zona.
From his message it la evident <
that the president was well pleased (
with conditions he found on his re- (
cent visit to Cuba, for he states that
peace has been restored and the pro- 1
visional government will give way to
self-government within a few months.
The Rio conference Is revlewod and |
the reception of Secretary Root Id |
South America was<especially fortu- ,
uate In cementing the ties between
the United States and her neighbor (
ing tropics.
With a tribute to Seorctary Root (
tbe president declares thar no longer
Is the Monroe Dootrine misunder- .
stood by the Republlos In the South.
Conditions in Central Amerloa, the
friendly relations existing between
tbe United States and Mexloo. "the
Algeciras conference and other queo
tlons or International Import are re
viewed and discussed in an optimistic
manner.
The president calls eepeoial attention
to the pelagic killing of seals and
all seal hunting violations, both In
this country and in foreign waters.
Yital importance Is a tached bvlthe
president to the eeoond Hague conference
in the Interest of universal
pesoe.
Probably the feature of the message
lies in the earnest appeal of the
Drealdent to oongrcss that the pres
ent high standard of the army and
navy be maintained as the greatest
agency of peace with our neighbors
and the world.
HI3 CASE WAS PITIFUL.

Cfoorge Eiwards, a white tramp, who \
sfcys he Is a native of Spartanburg, i

smoking rooms at the depot for medl- |
chl trsatment. Dr. Frank T. Kendall, i
the looal surgeon of the railway, llndlr

suljsct fell into his camp fire and re
ceivod horrible burns on the right hand
and arm, hip and right side. Passersby
found him and took him to Blackvllie,
where a kindly physician applied
first aid bandages and supplied
him with a ticket to Spartanburg.
B> the time he reaohed Columbia,
however, the pain of his i
wounds and fever resulting from
them made him unable to pr?oeed
furthor.
Ho was able to walk, however, and
after his wounds had been dressed
wandered down Gervals street. Opposite
the police station feeling that
he could not go muoh further, he
oros^ed over to the state house
grounds and feel swooning on the
gras'i, Passorsoy found him there,
and after restoratives had been ap
plied he rallied sufficiently to go on to
Spartanburg, where he said there
were relatives who would care for him.

BKUTAL MUADEH,
EMANUEL MALLARD HLAYE
OABB AND HKMIY I'OHUUKlt;
And Mutilates Their Bodies In a
Most Horrible and Schocking
Manner.
Bulls, which is just one mile below
Vanoes, was the scene of a most brutal
and horrible murder on last Sunjay
afternoon when a negro by the
name of Emanuel Mallard murdered
In a ocld blooded manner two other
negroes, Cabb Porcher and Henry
Poroher, two brothers. It seoms
from the testimony that was brought
jut before the coroners jury that wis
tmpannolled to hear the case by Mag*
Istrate T. M. Folder, that Mallard
and Oabb Poroher. who had married
Mallard's daughter, spent pretty
rauoh all of Sunday together at Mallard's
house on tho Bull place. During
the day they took several drinks,
and towards eveing they were somewhat
mellow, and It Is thought got In
tjuarrol about a women of the neighborhood,
of whom both were enamored,
whioh resulted in Mallard murdering
CJabb Poroher with an old axe.
The heaci of the doad man was near |
ly severed from his body. After
committing tne murder Mallard dragged
the body to his back yard, whore
he left It and locked himself in his
'< hU all ooourred about live o'clock
Sunday afternoon. When Henry
Poroher heard that his brother O -'jb
uad been murdered by Mallard,he with
another negro by the name of Allen
White went to Mallard's house to see
what was the trouble. When t'
readied Mallard's plaoe, Henry Per
cher went up to the house and tapped
on the door leaving White in the
road at the gate. Mallard answered
Henry Poroher's rap by inquiring
from within the house who was
there. Henry Poroher answered that
it was him, and Mallard after saying
something about he would let him in
If ho oame with no hostile intent,
slipped out the back door and oame
around to tne poroh on which Henry
Poroher was standing and shot him
dead in his tracks without a word of
warning. Mallard used an old army
musket, and nearly shot his second
victim's head off. After being shot
Poroher, who did not know what hurt
dim, fell In his tracks on the porch.
About this time Mallard eaw White
standing at the gate and immediately

and of tho old musket. lis mli-sad
White aDd tho musket struex 11e
ground and broke the stock W ate,
uot earring to share the fate of h'.s
rrlend, beat a hasty retreat down
the road.
Mallard then wont fcr.ck to the
aody of Henry Porcher, which he had
left on the porch, aud threw it over
the banister, lie thou draped it
around to the back -of his house aud
laid it near the body of his first vlo*
Llm. Mallard then seemed to have beQome
enraged and beat the heads uf
both the murdered men Into jelly with
the barrel of tho old musket. How
long he engaged In this Inhuman
brutality Is not known, but long
enough to reduce tho faces of his
victims to shapeless masses of llesh.
He then made his escape to vlio neigh
boring woods, where he remained until
he was assured by some white men
that they would protect him from the
negroes, whom he seemed to fear
would do him bodily harm.
He was at the Inquest, on Monday
and freely admitted that he had killeu
the two men, but made no
statement as to why he old It. The
aoroner's jury, of which Mr. E. W.
Avinger, Intendant of Vance, was
the foreman, heard the oaso nd
brought In a verdiot charging Mallard
with the orlme, and he was brought
up to Orangeburg by Messrs: W. 0.
Girl tilth and E. W. Avinger and committed
to jail to await his trial for
the terrible orlme of double murder.
The two negroes who were killed are
laid to have been bad fellows, and
will be little or no loss to the community.
Mallard 1b said to have
oeen a peaceable, harmless kind of a
iegro, and what caused him to kill
lis son-in-law, Oabb, Poroher, may
icvor be known, but as stated above
it Is generally surmised boat the kill
ng was caused by a ro w ovor a wo
nan of tbo neighborhood. Mallard
teems to have a straight road for the
gallows. He will be tried next January,
and the probabilities are that
le will be promptly convicted and

worst crimes that has been commloted

by an Unknown Party
or Partiea.
Attacked, knocked unoonsclous,
bound, gagged and robbed of his cash
by an unkuown party Thursday night
glx miles northoast of Union, Is what
Is said to happened to Wallace Lawson,
according to the sensational story
told by himself to a press represent*,
tlvo bhortly after his arrival in Uulon
about I o'olook Friday.
The following Is the story as related
to the Union correspondent of
The State on Friday:
"I oamo to Union yesterday, bringing
my wife and two children. They
spent the night with their oousln,
Mrs. Lula ltarton. I left Unlou, returning
home about 8 o'clock. Wallaco
Knox, a friend, was with me until wo
reached his home, live miles from here,
after I drove on alone, letting my
mule jog along slowly In thu dark.
"After going about one mile farther,
tho llrst thing I kuew I felt a blow
on the back of my bead, which knocked
mc from the buggy. As I struck
the ground I felt two other blows on
my forehead, when I became unoon
Roloua. When I reoovored consciousness,
the moon was shining, and 1
was lying across the road with my
hands tied behind me with a handkerchief
from my own pookot, and 1 was
gagged with another handkerohlef?
a white cotton one, which looks like it
has never been used before.
"This happened in a lonely stretch
of woods, a high bank onono side, and
a patch of pines on the other. When
struok I was humming a hymn and
leaning back in my buggy, with the
top back.
'4 When I got up I oould not move
my arms and did not get them untied
until I had walked a mile to the homo
of Mr. J.O. Harris, my father-inlaw,
where 1 live.
44In the lot at home I found the
mule and buggy 1 had been driving.
When reloased I put my hand in my
pockets to see if I bad lost anything,
and found mis3iug two picketboaks,
in my black folding on (which bad my
name, weight and height on a card in
it and Chicago National Tru3t company
on the ouUldc) a 820 bill and a 85
bill, and in the other, a double snap
pooketbook 1 bad 82 05 in silver and
sr me receipts. One of the receipts whh
from F M. Adams on Oot. 24 for 815,
then a registered letter reoeiot from
E'z!e for $4 50, and also R waybill of
some cotton Heed?all made out in my
name. My silver watch was loft, however,
and when I go the house I found
it wap, 1 o'clock.
'"My head was hurting me terribly
thon, and after bathing it, I went to
bed. This morning my brother-in-law,
E W. Harris, oama with me to the
spot and vre could rtud only two tracks,
one leading to the woods and no sign
of anything e^o except where some
cne had been sitting on the side of the
road.
"As to who oould hare done it, I
have no idea, for so far as I know I
have no enemies, and no one saw me
with the money on the streets yesterday;
though I handled the pockethook
vrlth only the small change in It. This
Is about all I know that I can think
of now."
Mr. Lawson is a young farmor,
abont 22 years of age, the son of W.n.
Giles Lawson, Is married and has two
little children. When spoken to about
when he left Union, he said that ho Is
not accustomed to drinking and was
perfectly sober, so that there seems to
be no reason to think that the affair
was all a fancy. He aho shows plainly
the marks of the blows on his head.
FORTY MINERS KILLED.
By an Accidental Explosion of Dynamite*
At Houghton, Mich., Forty miners
are believed to have been b'own to
atoms in the Qjincy mine Thursday
night as the result of the explosion of |
I * puwuur magtzmc located on the first
I level of the Mosnard or No. 8 shaft.
I The men ware being lowered to work
j In a lar.^e cape. Just as the cage was
passing the first level, 100 foot from
the surface, the dy&mitc stored in
the magazine exploded, sending forth
death and destruction.
Absolutely no trace of the forty
men can be fouud and they were evidently
blown to atoms at the first
flohock. Until an ea:ly hour this
morning, it was impossible to ascertain
the extent of the damage and
even then there are a number of men
who have not been aooounted for. Fire
broke out after the explosion and the
damage mao be muoh worse than at
first was believed.

menced an undeeground search for
the missing men. The heat and
