The Au ": s (hr.niie thinks the t increase in m:tlfacttires and minigi c is largely'due - the protective tariff, and that the S uth will receive more benetit from it than any other section e of the . uion. The South abounds in 1 raw materi:l. We are rich in natural resources. Whetiher it would be best for our sectioI to have incidental pro tection for our --infant" industries is the que-tiocn f r our Legislators to de termine. According to the Chroniele the value of manufactures produced in the (n ited States in 1I0 was $1,SS-,861,(76. In :s.S the value had increased to e more than *7;.t100,0)O,td00l. The popula- t tion in 1-ia was :1,000,000: in 1S.O 50,1(l,0;!1, and in ISSS it was over t;2,iflk,-0). The population in thirty f years has doubiled while the value of manufactures is nearly four times what it was thirty years ato. The ott is certainly on a great in dustrial boom. Our natural resources are being develt,oped. our mountains abound in rich iron and coal beds, and the furn:we s are e cin g to thbern. WVe prodtce th e ttoni and the m iils a re being er"eed to mnuaiuf:w'ture it. The (1hoicie well says that what we neel t+i develop our lands and re s)urces. and enhance the value of our crops are ci nvcrsitied industries.

With these things the South is bound to prosper. for it is the most favored see tion in the world. in the death of Congressman S. J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, on last Sun day, at Washiliro,n, the Democratic party los"s one of its ablest leaders and the country one of its best men. He had represented his district In Congress for nearly thirty years a'id was recog nized as a n:.st eo nspicuous leader of his party. At the time of his death he was the senior Inember of the House of Representatives in conttinuous service. He was 1,r several terics elected to the responsibe position of Speaker of the House. Put his work is ended and he has gone t->join the great majority.I Presidlent Harrison has turned out 40,fl00 D)enmera ts since his administra tion began and aippoinitedl as many R pulican(s to take their p)laces. What is to he done about a State primary ? That is one of the planks of the platform adopted by the recent State Farmer's Association. *We learn from the report of the De pirtmnent of Agriculture that about 165,000 toncs of commnercial fertilizers have been sold in this State from the 1 1st of November 19s9, to the 1st of A pril 1800O. This is an increase of about 30 per cent over last year for the samef period. This meeans, we presume, that there is to be a considerable increase in * the aereuage of est ton this year over last year. 1 Ano.ther farmers' convention is called to be held in Columbia on the 23d oft this mioith, it is to be composed of t one representative farmer from each county who is not in sympathy with1 Mr. T1il!man's "stuggestion.'' and who does not endlorse the platform lately adopted by the late farmers' conven tioni. It is p.roposed, we suppose, to effect an organcizat ion o,f t he farmers who are t niot in sympicat hy with the Tillman inovement. WXe are promised a very1 lively anol inter estinig campaign this vea r. We are rat ther inclined to the op)inionl that a State primnary would be the better wvay, and possibly the only way, to settle these diffe.rences. Let the people speak, arnd the only way for them: to doit is to have a State pri mnary. F.very candidate now is posing as the~ pee' nuai, and the only way r for the pop to have a say is at the ballot box, at least that is the theory of the plam. But while this is true, it is not at :c.1 likely that we wvill have at State princirry tis year, as it would require the h:oldincg of a State conven tioni ant n :mimnidient to the consti- v~ tutioni oft o Ih Demcratie party.

Governor Richardson Arooaes an Indigna tion Meeting-A Negro Condemned to Hang for an Outrage Respited. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] CoLumIA, S. C., April 11.-The citizens of Lexington are mad as hor nets. The reason lies in the fact that Wil lie Leaphart, who was to hand there to-day for criminally assaulting Miss Rosa Cannon last January has been respited by the Governor until May 9. If Leaphart were still in Lexington there would be a lynching, but the anger of the citizens is intensitied by the fact that last night he was spirited away and now lies in the Richli-nd jail. IERE IS 110W IT HAPI'ENEI . Attorney Graham, of Lexington, procured an affidavit, the contents of which have not been made public. pre sented it to Judge Wallace, who is holding court in Columbia, and who endorsed it as follows : "By reason of the above affidavit, I respectfully recommend that the sen tenee of Willie Leaphart be suspended until a motion for a new trial can be made, and that in the meantime the prisoner be confined in the county jail at Columbia." IT WAS DONE. Upon reading this the Governor ordered the respite, and sent secret in structions to Sheriff Drafts to bring Leaphart here last night, which was successfully accomplished, though if the citizens of Lexington had had the faintest intimation of what was going on the sheriff would have had a dead negro on his hands. This morning when Lexingtonians awoke and dis covered how they hnd been outwitted they made the atmosphere sulphurous with anathemas against Governor Richardson and Attoiney Graham. Two of them visited the Governor this afternoon and he explained that his action was based entirely on the judge's recommendation, and that he could not possibly have done otherwise. IMIPROJI'TC I NIIGNATION MEETING. At noon the citizens of Lexington held an impromptu indignation meet ini, and unanimously adopted the fol owing preamble and resolutions: Whereas, One Willie Leaphart, who grossly violated the chastity of a young lady of this community, Miss Rosa Cannon, was given a fair and impartial trial at the last term of court for this county, and was convicted upon such direct, positive and unimpeachable testimony as to elicit from Judge Wal lace, while sentencing him to be banged the admonition that "you Willie Leap hart, had as well put your past behind you and think only of the future, for you will be hanged as certain as fate,' and sentenced him to be hung April 11, 1890, his honor's language showing his own deep conviction of the fairness of the trial, the righteousness of the verdict and the certainty of the priso ner's doom on the appointed day; and. Whereas, public opinion in a most unqualified way approved of the sent ence of the court, and confidently re lied upon the execution of the same, and Whereas, J. P. Richardson, Governor of our State, having declined to inter fere with the sentence of the court upon the petition of some of the colored citizens of the county, and having in formed SheriX Drafts of his decision, but having on the evening of the 10th inst. informed the Sheriff by a letter conveyed throughi private bands that the prisoner had been respited until May 9, 1890), and instructed the Sheriff to convey the prisoner during that night secretly, if p)racticable, to Rich land jail, and the Sheriff having obeyed the Governor's instructions, therefore be it Resolved, That we, the citizens of Lexington County, in mass meeting, denounce the action of the Governor set forth in the foregoing preamble, as a premium for lawlessness and the highest crime known to humanity, not alone in the most law-abiding, peace ful and conservative county of the State, but throughout her entire do main, and an outrage against that un written law, which stands higher than any statute known to the Anglo-Saxon race; that we, a hrgh-toned, law-abiding and conservative people, unwilling to tolerate such subversion of the inhe rent rights of freemen, and such an outrage upon our pride in the chastity of those who are to become mothers of future generatiors, demand of our public servant, Governor J. P. Richard son, the return of the prisoner to the custody of the Sheriff of Lexington County, for prompt execution of the sentencc of the law. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting appoint a committee of four teen to wait on Governor Richardson promptly and submit this preamble and these resolutions to him with such further information as they may deem proper. Resolved, That the committee be instructed to ask the Governor for a copy of all petitions and papers pertain ing to this matter on file in his office, or which he may have in his posses sion. ResolLved, That the committee be requested to report the action arid the result of its investigation to a public meeting to be called to meet at this place on Saturday, 19th inst., at 10 o'clock p. mi. Resolved, That a commit tee of two, W. B. Seav and F. C. Caughman, wait on Sheriff Drafts and invite him to be present at the meeting to be held on the 19th inst., and to bring with him all papers, documents, communi cations and all information he may have in regard to this matter. Trho resolutions were seconded by speeches by Col. Wingard and others. A spirit of quiet, manly determination and a feeling of the deepest inidigna tion characterized the meeting. TE PRISONER RETURNED) TO THE LEXINGTON JAI,L. [Special to the Greenville Newvs.] CoLcUMIA, S. C'., April 12.-Willie Leaphart was to-day taken back to Lexington. A committee of Lexington citizens appointed at the meeting yes terday visited the Governor to-day. They stated that they could not under stand his action in secretly ordering Leapheart's reprieve and removal to Columbia after he had pu blicly declined to pardon him. The Governor impress ed upon them that he had no alter native but to suspend sentence when Judge Wallace recommended it for the purlose of allowing a motion for a new trial by reaso.n of an affidavit which contained material evidence. HeI said lie had already refused finally to inter fere with the sentence of the court, buit his granting of the judge's recomrnen dat ion for a reprieve was obligatory. The comnmittee then had an interview wIth the judge and infornied him that they dle.ired the return of the prisoner to Lexington, and that they stood ready pledged to his personal safety. The Judge then commended them for their sent iments and gave thenm arecommien dation to the Gov-ernor for the return f Leaphart, in which the Governor e;u iesced. The committee pledged the-ir honor as gentlemen for the personal safety of Leaphart, and after an order for his delivery was signed by the Judge he was tak--n to Lexington by the comn inittee, wvho left the city this evening in buggies.

Randall, of Pennsylvania, after Five Years' Illness and Suffering. [Special to News and Courier.] g WASHINGTON, April 13.-It was a I sad and touching scene at the Randall o residence, on Capitol Hill, when Con- c gressman Samuel J. Raudail expired t, this moriing, just as the bells of the S neighboring church were tolling 5 o'clock. Around the bedside were 0 gathered the family, the physician and a Postmaster General Wanamaker, who J had all kept constant watch over the b dying man during the iight. A few I minutes before his death he opened his V eyes, and looking tenderly at his wife, 0 said in a low tone, "mother"-a word a instinct with all the fondest recollection c of their long and happy married life, b and by which he always called his wife n when none but the family were near. t He looked into her eyes as if he were C about to say something more, but he V seemed to have no strength left, and c in a few moments he had passed away. t; Death had come with the coming of v dawn. The watchers saw that all was 8 over, and the wife and daughter who - had nursed and cared for him during t) his long illness could restrain their a feeling no longer, but gave way to their C grief, while the physician and Mr. Wanamaker endeavored to console v then as best they might, though their own grief hardly permitted them to speak. 1r. Randall's death had been ex pected at any time during the past three days. IHis illness dates back about live years ago when Dr. Thomas Mal- a lan, who has attended him throughout n his latter illness, was called in to treat bii for gout. On July 6, almost a two years ago, Mr. Randall was sud- c denly seized with violent symptoms b which convinced his physicians thathe s was suffering from an extensive and o malignant abscess. This caused serious t hemorrhages which greatly depleted his system and left him weak and emaciated. He put himself permanent ly under the physician's care, and Dr. Mallau has attended hini constantly f< while he was in this city, Dr. N. S. g Lincoln, a physician of great repute, t being called into consultation. Occa- 5 sionally Mr. Randall rallied and grew r stronger, and was getting on fairly a well until last February, when he had t severe rigor, brought on, probably, by the weather. Since then he has been t rapidly failing. He joined the Presby- r terian Church about two months ago. r Mr. Wananaker spoke to him on this subject,and Mr. Randall, replying that t he had been thinking of this matter for 3 some time and would like to become a t member of the Church, arrangements f were effected by which he entered the d Metropolitan Presbyterian Church on s Capitol Hill. Dr. Chester is the pastor, s and will probably conduct the funeral s services in this city. e The news of Mr. Randall's death be- t came quite generally known during a the day. A large number of persons ,I called at the residene'e during the day I to express their condolences. They t were received by Mr. Lancaster. The i President and Mrs. Harrison sent a a basket of flowers with a note express ing deep sympathy with the family. c Speaker Reed called during the after- c noon to express his regrets and learn a the wishes of the family with respect r to the funeral services, and informed Mr. Lancaster that he would carry out a the wishes of the family in all things. v Among other callers were Secretary c Blaine, Ex-Senator Ferry of Michigan, t who stood iext to Mr. Randall during a the electoral count proceedings. Ex- I Speaker Carlisle, Representative Breck- 3 inridge, of Kentucky, Springer, of Ill- I inois, and many others. f: Sergeant-at-Arms Holmes called and 3 took charge of the remains for the House of Representatives. They were 2 embalmed and placed in a casket in the I room in which he died. ia Samuel Jackson Randall was born in b Philadelphia, 'Oct. 10, 1828. He was a son of a well known lawyer and dis- a tinguished politician of Philadelphia. d He wvas educated as a merchant, and fi after being four times elected to the e city council and once to the State Sen ate, lie was elected to Congresss in 1863. He has since represented without inter- 1 mission the only Democratic district in Philadelphia. He served on the comn mittees on banking, rules and elections, and distinguished himself by his speeches against the force bill in 1875, ~ and was a candidate for speaker thet next year, and was appointed chair- I man of the committee on appropria- t tions.. He gained credit by his success in curtailing expenditures by enforcing a system of proportional reduction in the appropriations, and on the death of ichael C. Kerr, was elected speaker, ~ December, 1876. He was re-elected speaker in the two following Con gresses, serving in that capacity untilt 1851. Mr. Randall has borne a con-t s)icuous part in the debates on the tariff as a leader of the protectionist wing of the Democratic party. FALSE PROPHETS IN CALIFORNIA.
