HAS SOLD OUT
Claim to be a Democrat But
Really a Republican
HE NAMES THE PRICE
For Which lie Is Willing to Sell Out
the Farmers and Other Residents
of the South, and Is loudly Applauded
Time and Again by the
Republicans.
Washington, April 5.?In the
House today Mr. Clark, Democrat,
of Florida, got a round of Republican
applause, when ho said that incident
nrotection absolutely was necessary
in certain cases.
"Are you a protectionist or not?"
inquired Mr. Randall, of Texas.
Mr. Clark declared that all legislation
was the result of compromise.
"I don't expect to write the
tariff bill for this majority," lie oxclaimedr
"but 1 say to you that if
they put into this bill what my people
want, what they sent me here to
get, 1 shall not dictate to them what
else they shall put into it." The
Republicans again applauded and
cheered, and the House was thrown
into an uproar when Mr. Randall
asked "if the gentleman belli vs in
the doctrine that if a Representative
hero gets some of the swag, he ought
to go with the Republicans in making
this bill?"
Mr. Clark took violent exception
to the use of the work "swag," and
said that as- long as the people of
the South had to bear the burdens
of the protective tariff system they
at least ought to have a division of
the benefits. "Call it swag if yon
will." hr> Kiiid. "Iml I rnnroRonl :i
district equaly as intelligent, as
conscientious and as patriotic as does
the gentleman from Texas."
"Are you a protectionist or not?"
Mr. Randall still wanted to know.
Speaking slowly and gradually raising
his voice to its highest pitch,
Mr. Clark evoked thunderous Republican
applause when he declared "I
am in line with the Democratic party,
but I am not in line with the
Populistic element that has controlled
it recently."
Mr. Clark quoted from the resolution
of the recent Democratic caucus,
which declared that the members
of the minority were left free to vote
as they choose on constitutional
questions, and also when instructed
by their constituency to pursue a certain
line of action. He called attention
to memorials of the Florida Legislature,
that a duty be put on lOgypiion
and other long staple cotton
coming into the United States in
connection with the sea island cotton;
also that a duty be put on citrous
fruits, pineapples and the like,
ho OYoI Jl i lllOil "I am imstninl
ed in tfiat regard, and no hawkers
and opinionated Democrats can make
me violate a solemn obligation 1
owe."
Mr. Rucker (Missouri) Interrupted
to call attention to the fact that all
tho thunderous applause had come
from the Republican side, but the
Chair admonished him that he was
out of order. "The gentleman can't
hurt me by those things," said Mr.
Clark. "The people of my district
know me."
Laboring under the belief that
Mr. Clark's remarks about Populism
applied to him, Mr. Randall denied
that any Populism was contained in
* his record. Mr. Clark, in reply to
that, said he merely wanted to state
where he himself stood. "I stand on
my platform," he exclaimed. "I am
not for protection per sc."
"Did you hit; nd for the Mouse and
the country to understand that the
Democracy is in any way affiliated
I with Populism?" was Mr. Randall's
further question, but the reply of
the l'loridian threw the House into
a ir nzy.
"J will tell you what I want tnc
country to understand," he said deliberately.
"Wo don't intend, so fat
as I am concerned, and I believe the
people I represent, to follow youi
Nebraska Populistic leader an;
more." *
"Does the gentleman stand witl
the New Jersey Democrat that think
Rravn knew ten mnoh nf tho
logue to be President of tho Unite
States?" propounded Mr. Randall.
"I think," responded Mr. Claris
with some feeling, "that the Sout.1
ern Democracy never made a greatr
mistake than when it turned its bac
on its Democratic friends in the Ha*
that it has driven from the party, an
tied up with Populism out in Nebrai
ka."
l Mr. Randall declared that Mr. Pr;
^ an needed no defence at his hand
and asked Mr. Clark if lie was
(Cleveland Democrat 011 tho tari
and If he stood for the doctrine (
free raw materials.
"I am Just a plain, old-fashione
Democrat," drawled Mr. Clark, ami
shouts of laughter.

Kourtwii Count ion Keport School
Term Averaging Less Than Eighteen
Weeks.
Columbia, S. C., April 8.?A large
number of communities over the
State are applying to the State board
of education for State aid to lengthen
their school terms under the Garris
Act.
"And in many localities the interest
manifested is most suggestive,"
said State Superintendent Swearingen
today. "Many schools have
already closed for lack of funds to
pay the teacher's salaries, but these
will be in position to take advantage
of the new law during the coming
school year. The showing made on
some of the applications would furnish
a clear insight into economic conditions
it; it any localities."
Fourteen crunties in the State are
having school terms averaging less
than 12 weeks for the cities as well
as the country. Colleton county's
average was only eleven weeks and
Horry only 12.
One district <in '.Williamsburg
could raise only $50 with an extra
levy of three mills, and another
Williamsburg district with a 12-mill
levy raised only $200.
One district in Saluda county
gave its negro school only $12, its
white school had just a little over
<t i An
.(i I ir 'f.
lli-ro is an eloquent specimen from
about the best conditioned county
in the State, Spartanburg: lu High
Point district the total resources
were $1S5). There are two white
schools and no provision of any kind
for negroes. One of the schools is
"caring for" 50 children, whose
teacher gets $3 5 a month. On this
school $125 was spent. Presumably
the remainder, $00, went to the
other school, in which there are 25)
children.
The State board of education will
bold a Meeting on the 23rd to formulate
high school regulations and
to name the various county boards
of education over tho State. The
board is made up of Governor Ansel,
ex-oflieio chairman; State Superintendent
Swearingen, ex-ofllcio secretary;
W. K. Tate, Charleston, assistant
secretary; M. F. Rice. Aiken;
Prof. I). \V. Daniel, Clemson College;
Prof. A. G. Rembert, Wofford
College: A. R. Ranks, Columbia; A.
T. Thaekston, Orangeburg.
In a statement issued today to
the press Superintendent Swearingen
says:
"The date of the next teachers'
examination has been set for Fridn
.r 14 A _ A\ - Ml
urt.v, iMii.v i t. /\s inere win do no
county sumnuer school work this
yoar, teachers might flncl it convenient
to take thfc; examination rather
(than wait for a renewal of certificate
already granted. The new
hoard's of school trustees will probably
lie hunting for teachers in July,
and applicants for schools should
not run the risk of being caught
without a certificate.
"The Reading Circle questions w'1'
bo sent out on April 14, and toothers
taking this course should see
that their name and address is
furnished the State superintendent
by that date." *
Preacher in Trouble.
Oriffin, C,a., April 8.?The congregations
composed of the churches
served by Rev. J. A. Drewery have
passed a resolution endorsing their
pastor. He is being sued by Mrs.
Louise Castino for breach of promise.
not entitled to that right, Mr. Clark
said:
Finley Gets into the Game.
"1 am sick and tired of hearing
my Southern colleagues talk of the
'poor men of the South.' I want
to do something to take them out of
1 that class. The factories of the East
are going to the South, where their
raw material is to be found, where
1 living is cheap, so that we can soon
defy the World in the cheapness of
their manufacture." Replying to a
question by Mr. Finley, of South Carolina,
Mr. Clark said that if the Republican
party would put in the bill
1 what his people had instructed hin
' to get, ho would vote for the bil
regardless of anything else.
11 "Jlave you no convictions?" nsket
s Mr. Finley.
"I have," responded Mr. Clark
d "on convictions of men who represen
nothing but a short bale of cotton
c, a nigger and a mule."
i- Thunderous applause on the Repub
r lican side interrupted the speaker
k and when quiet was restored he con
it tinned:
(1 "The Democracy ought to he pro
9- gressive if it is anyting. It ough
to keep abreast of the times. I
/- ought to meet conditions as the
find them. I do not consider tha

Fort de France, Martiniquo, April
7.?Cipriano Castro, in a rage
against the British government and
the State department at Washington,
left the steamier Guadeloupe at this
port today and has taken up quarters
on shore. Finding all ports in the
West Indes, excepting Fort de
France, barred against him, the pres>
nt course was the only one left open
to the former Venezuelan dictator.
Senor Castro's wife will continue
on board the Guadeloupe to LaGuaira.
The American monitor Montana
came into port this morning.
The Guadeloupe, on hoard which
Castro and his party sailed from
France, March 28, after four months
spent in Europe, came into Fort de
France late last cvning. While at
Fointe-a-l'it re of the island of Guadeloupe,
where the steamer touched
yi sterday, Cast ro was noli ft <1 by
the British consul that the British
government had decided not to permit
him to disembark at Port of
Spain, Trinidad, consequently Castro
decided to leave th^ Guadeloupe
hero.
The decision of the British, acting
on a request from the State departin
nt at Washington not to let him
land at Trinidad, was unofficially
communicated to Castro a second
time this morning. 1 lo expressed
himself as annoyed and angry at this
decision, which he characterized as
a violation of the rights of man.
He is furiously angry with the Ann rican
government and the French
Steamship Company. The latter refused
to let him continue on board
the Guadeloupe to Colon.
After expressing his annoyance at
this unexpected turn in his affairs,
Castro disclaimed tlie bellicose intention
with regard to the existing
political situation in Venezuela with
which he; has been credited and ho
declared that his only purpose in
returning to Venezuela was to give
his attention ito his private business.
Castro appears still to be in ill
health.
The steamer Guadeloupe left, here
at noon today for Port of Spain and
Venezuelan points. She was followed
out of tlie harbor by the cruiser
Montana.

Columbia, April 7.?Sheriff Causey
has brought to the State penitentiary
Henry liaynes, the desperado
who was arrested in Jacksonville
a few days ago and brought back
to this State to serve out five years
for manslaughter and 1 6 months on
the charge of breach of trust with
fraudulent 'intent. THe arrest of
liaynes is the culmination of 10
years of evasion of the law?for
liaynes, although convicted in 1899
of manslaughter, lias succeeded in
keeping away from the ollicers of
the law until Sheriff Causey got on
ins tracK and located mm in Jacksonville.
Haynos escaped from Monck's Corner
before he could be brought to
Columbia to begin his sentence just
after lie was convicted in 1899. The
guards from the penitentiary had
already started for Monck's Corner
to bring Haynos and a number of
other prisoners here when it was
learned that Haynes had made his
escape. Since 1899 Haynos has been
able to keep away from the officers
of the law.
Sheriff Causey 'states that just
as soon as he came into office he
started to track Haynos and Anally
was able to make the negro move
out of the State which ended in the
arrest at Jacksonville.

Atlanta, Ga., April G.?Charged
with attempting to blackmail Asa G. |
Cndler, president of tiie Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, banker, and ,
Atlanta's wealthiest citizen, out of
$35,000 by "lilack Hand" methods, '
Daniel \V. Johnson, Jr., J 8 years old ;
and a member of Mr. Candler's Sunday
school class, was arrested tonight
at the instance of the postoflice j
inspectors and lodged in the Fulton !
' ounty jail.
Johnson admits writing the letters
a*d tak- s his arrest very cooly. Tie. :
however, declares that he was the !
catspaw of three strangers, who, lie
claims, dictated his every action in .
connection with the alYair and forced ;
him to write the demands for money !
under penalty of death. Ho furnished
tin* ollicers with a description of
the three men.
On Friday of last week Mr. Candler
received the lirst of the two let
tors written by the "Black Hand" ;
plotters, In which ho was askeil to j
place $35,000 under the stops of
the pastor's study of the Ionian |
Bark Methodist church, on Monday I
night, April 5, "or you and your !
family will meet a horrible death
at our hands." Sunday he received
a second letter warning him to comply
with the demands, and further
threatening him and his family if
hd failed to comply, or if he made
mention of the matter to a living
soul.
Mr. Candler called George M. Sutton,
chief postolllce inspector of the
Atlanta division, in consultation, and
it was decided to trap the blackmailer.
Mr. Candler drew $35,000
in cash from the hank, of which he
is president, so as to guard against J
any possible betrayal of his plans.
Monday night he made up a package
and placed it at the point designat- j
ed, the real money in the meantime
remaining at his residence guarded
by detectives. Two detectives kept
watch near where the fake package
was placed, hut no one appeared during
the night for the package.
This meriting Mr. Candler received
a telephone message demanding
j that ho place $1,000 at a secluded
spot on Morelatid avenue, between
Annabel street and Walker alley.
Again a fake packago was prepared
and placed at the spot designated
tonight, and Johnson appeared from
the darkness, grabbed up the package
and started on a run, hut was
in the grasp of Detectives Lockhart
and Coker before lie was aware that
ho had been observed.
lie was then taken to the Tower,
and after a gruelling examination
made a confession, admitting having
written the two letters, hut saying
lie acted under compulsion. The po
lice give little credence to his story
of having been forced to write the
letters by three strangers.
The first letter, dated April 1,
warned Mr. Candler that if he failed
to put the sum at the spot indicated,
"you alone shall meet death. Tell
anyone of it and you and your house
?that is, all that live with you?
shall meet the most horrible death
at our hands. Pony up with the sum
and keep your tape closed about
it, and all will be well. Fail to
put the sum there or blab it, and
hell will be to pay?nothing more
nor loss than death."
The second letter advised Mr.
Candler to "slide up close to the side
of the steps and put it under them,
and then '23' as hard as you can.
Do not fail, or you will be blown
to 'kingdom come' before day Tu sdav.
April (?."
Mr. Candler was little disturbed
v over the incident, and it was stated
tonight that he would lose no sleep
over fears of his home being dynamited.

Hiatal Attack.
Arcadia, Fla., Ap|ril 11.?John
Smith, the negro who yesterday dragged
a young lady from her buggy,
two miles from Arcadia, in an attempt
at criminal assault, was taken
away from the sheriff and his deputies
at an early hour this morning
and hanged to a tree.
The lady, who had been to the
city on a shopping tour, was returning
to her home, four miles from
the city, when the negro sprang into
the buggy, seized her and dragged
her into the bushes, throwing her
down and choking her.
The young woman begged, fought
and prayed the black llend to let
her go, and offered to give him $1()U
in cash if lie would accompany her
home, but this did not stop the
brute, who was about to force his
victim inno submission, when she
I saw Will Knowles ami his brother
walking at some distance from the
st cue.
With renewed vigor she screamed,
and this attraotod the Knowls brothers,
who rushed to her assistance.
i iie uruie inaue ins escape, aiul after
taking the lady to her home, the men
rushed to this city, spread the news
and bloodhounds, followed by a posse
of three hundred men, were soon
on the trail.
The negro was found at a turpentine
camp, taken before his victim,
who positively identllied him. Sheriff
Freeman and his deputies succeeded
in placing Smith in jail, but
being afraid of an attack, attempted
to spirit him out of Arcadia, when
they were met by an automobile party,
held up and forced to give up the
I prisoner.
The negro, seeing that he was
I doomed to a horrible death, pleaded
! for mercy, but there was none in
the hearts of the mob, who carried
him to the edge of the city, where
I they strung him up to a tree where
; his body was still hanging this morning.

I identllied the clothing on the negro
and pointed out the shirt she had
; torn in her efforts to escape. *
