C, THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1887. 1 t The Farmer's State Convention t will meet in Columbia on Tuesday s 1st day of December, and not on the a Sd, as stated by us last week. C Our Laurens contemporaries are t still quarreling and calling each other c names. The election is over and the people have settled the matter at the ballot box and what is the use of lussing over it now. We suggest t that they drop the discussion in-their columns and "fight it out." What would some of our young men think of being employed as win dow gazers? We saw it stated the t other day that some young men in Philadelphia earn a living in this way. By standing and gazing into the shop windows they would attract a crowd, and in this way act as an advertisement for the shop keeper, and for this purpose were regultrly employed. This comes as near mak ing machines out of men as the man f who stood, at the railway crossing simply to direct the passengers re- s peating the same words from morn ing until night from year to year. t Yet we suppose these men in their way are performing the duties of life, e and doing well what they undertake, l and are faithfully carrying out the ends for which they were created. There are many human machines; in fact, we are all more or aess nothing but machines. Some performing their functions in one way and some in an. i other. But we-do not think we would like to be a window gazing machine. I We would prefer to be the man at the station directing the passers by in the right way. -The Farmer's Conventton on Mon day passed a resolution instructing the delegates to work energetically~ for the establishmentof an Agricul-1 tural College separate and distinct fromi the South Carolina University. *This means that they want an ex- 1 penditure of about $30~0,000 to start their college with, and then an ap propriation ev&y fear of from $30, 000 to $40,000 to keep it-going. The Convention was composed of intelli-r ; gent and progressive farmers. They,s of course, know what Ohey are doing. This is an important matter and< should be calmily and seriously con sidered. Will thc expenditure of . this large sum of money be wisely invested in as A'gricultural College ? I Will the farmei-s reap the benefit in proportion to the expenditure ? We for retrenchment and reform. Some. times it is economy to spend money. I ~9 We.want in every way to see the far mer prosper. for his success is our success, and we do not want to see the masses led-by any "oligarchy" in I: this Agrienlharal College business. Let the costs be considered along with the benefits. If it is thought a S jedicious investment, let the college be established. We have not yet I - been able to see it in that light. 1 -Saved From the Hemp. Cormxni& S. C., October 2.-Casar i White,a negro, was convicted of the mur- e der ofA. E. Morgan, awhite man ofOCol- ~ leton County, and sentenced to ber hanged r He has had his sentence commuted by the a Governor to life imprisonment in the pen- t1 itentiary. Morgan was a- pack peddler, a and was making a tour of the rice planta tions in the lower part of Colleton County. e On the morning of the 26th of last April ei his dead body, riddled with buckshot,was o found on the roadside between Green ~ Pond and Ashepoo. His pockets were 3 turned inside out, showing that robbery e was the motive of the murder. COesar was -y arrested upon suspicion, and the evidence b upon which he was convicted was entirely a circumstantial. He persistently protested t< bis innocence, and the Governor, upon in vestigating his case, became convinced ~ that thechain of evidence was by no a means complete, and therefore determined a to g've him the benefit of the doubt, a T.eSoutkern Star, a Colleton County g newspaper, is indignant over the action of ti the Governor, whom it criticises in the fol- t< lowing harsh manner : "Csesar White,theinhnman negro brute, who shot down and cruelly murdered A. ErE. Morgan, has escaped the gallows through the agency of a weak minded Governor, who seems to be too chicken- s: hearted to permit a hanging no matter h .rhat the crime mybe." ta 5!0The Star has wholy mnisconceived the p character of Governor Richardson, while b tempering mercy with justice in his ezecu tion of the laws of the State, he -will be C found ready to let the extreme penal be I applied, whenever in his judgment it is not his duty to commute or withhold it. is The Attorney General, of whom the C Governor soughst lgladvice in the case ti of Caesar White, ecnrred with him a in the opinion that teman ought not to o hang. A Horrible A frafr In Texas-. 3 DAL.L.A, Tieras, October 3.-John C Barlow and Miss Julia Walker, a respec- ' table young couple, who were to have v been miarried in a few days, while walk,. ing in the city park about midnight last night, were confronted by two negroes, who robbed Barlow of his money and watch and chain. One of the negroes then stood over Barlow with a cocked ti revolver, while the other criminally as- si saulted Miss Walker. The pegroes will v be lynched if caught. -14 0 ACCIDENT, NOr SUICIDE. 'he Death of O. B. White, or H. P. Tarrant, in Texas. News and Courier. It has been settled beyond any rea unable doubt that 0. B. White, an ac- F ount of whose alleged sui:ide in Texas d as been published, was none other a ban H. P. Tarrant, who formerly lived this city. Photographs of Tarrant ere sent to Galveston and the body of 0 he deceased was by their use identitied. 14 'he Galveston News of recent date say-: C "The inquest upon the body of O. B. n Vhite was resumed yesterday by Justice n pann, and several more witnesses ex mined. C. W. Davis stated that he a aw White last on -the evening of Sep- i mwber 6. He knew nothing as to the e ause of White's death, but under no c ircumstances believed it was suicide. i, %'hite's general demeanor when last u een was that of one in good humor. a Vitness was of the opinion that White's h teath was caused by some affection of he heart, as deceased was often seen to c e suffering from some acute pain that a rould cause him to gasp and hold his i ide. C. C. Alderton was' called upon a ad corroborated the above substantial- e y. Dr. C. L. Gwyn testified that he I ad attended White from the 23d to the i, 6th of August for muscular rheumatism i f the chest. The pain of White was in ense, and witness prescribed dydrate of hloral, but after giving White a dose or t wo witness stopped owing to the effect t had upon the heart. Witness sup- t iosed that the disease returned,and that , he pain being severe he took a full dose i, if the chloral, which caused his death ry heart failure. Witness did not think >f a case of suicide, but one of accidental u leath from the untoward effect of a usu ily safe medicine self-administered. rustice Spann rendered a verdict to the ,fect that the deceased, a druggist by rofession, a native of Charleston, S. C., ged about 39 years, came to his death i, >n the 6th of September, and from the t estimony adduced believed the same to v e a case of accidental death from the s ffects of medicine self-administered s ithout suicidal intent. Deceased was j uried with Masonic orders." , a t t The News From Stanley. ST. PAUL DELANDA, October 2. Lecording to the last news received at j Soma, from the upper Congo, Stanley g ras pushing forward, and the only dif- v iculties he met with were natural ob- o tacles of the country. a About July 25th the exp-dition had a ?scended the Aruwhimi to the elevated I ountry belonging to the Mabodi dis- c rict. The river becoming too narrow, o hey left the rafts, and the men for sev- I ral days had to carry a double burden I f provisions. The steel whale boat was r arried past the narrows, and again aunched. Stanley calculated that, tpon arriving at the summit of the table ands, giving shape to the basin of the kruwhimi, the expedition would halt wo days for rest, and would establish amp there to be garrisoned by twenty r nen with a European officer. The dis- e ricts traversed were tranquil, and little lificulty was experienced in obtaining 1 rovisions from the natives. The pro- 8 ress of the expedition averaged twenty dometers daily. ' Tippoo Tib, in his ast message, wrote that he was still at ? is post, at Stanley Falls, awaiting rein- b oreements. He had gained the good will of several neighboring chiefs. s )wing to the disturbed state of the l ountry Tippoo Tibi could not, as he v had agreed to, organize a revictual:ng a ravan to dispatch direct to Albert t 'ianza, but he intended to do so as soon ~ s possible. Disquiet continued between ' tanley Falls and the confluence of the a truwimi and the Congo, and many rillages had been pillaged. It is be- ' ieved that the agarrison which Stanley ~ eft at Yalbounga, has been forced to nterfere to maintain order in the neigh- 3 >orhood. A Cyco'one Near Charlotte. CmicAGo, Octobe 1.-A Times, Char- r otte, N.

[ow a Colored Speculator is Scoop jng the North Carolina Negroes. From the Raleigh News. An intelligent lookirg colored man, lawyer by profession. has been at ore:stville and Wake Forest for a ftn a3 s, and has created a wild excitenenl mnong the negroes at those places. Hie Lys that he is the representative of : arty of English capitalists with $30, 30.00, wh'ch :umount they propose tc mtd out and invest in land in Nort, arolina. The purpose is to secure a much land as possible, and if all tht ioney is not used in that way it n ill h> )aned out, and anybody can get a nuch money as he want.- if he will in est it in land and simply promise to pa3 ight per cent intere.ton the loan. The tpitaiists will take all ri-ks of not be ig paid back. As agent of the comps y, he is going ahead, looking for lant nd receiviing applications for loans le charges $10 for every, accepted ap lication, and so far has taken in a greal eal of money. Every colored man ant few whites are anxious to get on the application list," and are skirmishin round lively for ten dollar bills. Sev ral negroes are already bargaining fo mnd to be paid for with the pro'spectivt >an money, and sonie whites are doinr kewise. The more intelligent white people re ard the whole affair as a fabrication or ie part of the colored man, and are roubled for want of labor on account o. ie demoralization among the laborers. rho are now too busy "building castle: i the air" to attend to and listen to the roposals for work. There is a sort o' ibilee excitement among them, and i1 now at a high pitch. The Three C's.

Germany Practically Annexes the Sam oan Islands and Seizes and Exiles the King. SAN FRANcrSCO, Oct. 1.-Alvices l from New Zealand received by the si steamer which arrive'] to-day are to the o effect that Germany his practically an- u nexed the S.tmnan Islands. Thirteen a hundred stldier, and marines have been c landed at Apia by the four German men- d of war, and light ing was momentarily q expected when the steamer sailed on September 12. The immediate provo- fi cation which had led to the action of the S Gerians was owing to a free tight be- 1 tween% natives an! German residents, growing out of the celebration of the I birthday of the Emperor of Germany. p It is alleged by the New Z'"aland papers o that the Germans were drunk and s handled some of the natives roughly. The German commodore sent a dendtni for $12,000 as damages for the injury done the Germans, $1,000 being included as a personal tine upon King Mali.ton. The damages were explained to he on account of injuries to German planta tions and robberies by natives. King yMalietoa protested and asked for time to I consider, but next day the Germans I landed and Commodore Ititisullt is=ued ti a proclamation in the name of ihe Em- t, peror of Germany declaring war against $ Chief Malietoa, and recognizing Tama- S sese as King of Samoa. The American C and British colonists at once sought the 3 protection of their respective fi gs and a joint circular, signed by Tharold M. b Sewell, Consul General of the United $ States, and W. H. Wilson, British Pro- I Consul. was i.-ueddenying the authority v of the Germans to set tip a king in place n of Malieota; declaring that their re=pee- 4 tive governments had never recognized t the Tamasese, but still con4dered Mal- a ietoa as king. The circular closed with tl an appeal to the people of Samoa to sub mit quietly, and regaidless of provoca tion to await the result of the pending deliberations without resorting to war like resistance. The feeling, however, t was such that open howtilities was only t a question of time t'r. the time the last vessel departed. 3laiietoa was said to be collecting his followers to give the Ger mans battle. The Samoans, however, were very pgorly armed and could make no serious show against the invaders. - The New Zealand newspapers comment - bitterly against the Germans, declaring t their action to be practically annexation, despite the understanding bet ween the United States and Great Britain. THE STATE DEPARTMENT SUUPRISEI) d AT THE NEWS FROM SAMOA. WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-The news that the Germans h:,ve deposed and seized King Malietoa of the Samoan Islands i$ a surprise to the State Department, inas- C much as negotiations have been pro gressing during the past year between ~ England, Germany and the United States looking to a joint agreement to e maintain an automo,ous native govern- r L ment on the island.
