When the boy reached the settle nent he delivered Miss Clark's mes iage, and the men folks turned out d n masse.

Hill spoke to a C rowd of 8,000 persons at the Or-. eans County pioneer picnic, at Oak ' )rhard today. The speech was a ~eneral one, Mr. Hill saying he hought it poor taste to inject poli is at such a time. Addressing him elf to farmers, he referred to their l ,ourage and sturdy independence in dmiring terms, and said the Boer 8 ~armers had invoked the admiration ~ >f the world. "I wish to God" said t' ie, "that the Dutch farmer had won." d Mr. Hill said he found nothing in ' :he Bible in regard to accumulation f corporate wealth, anid believed * hat the only right means of accumu- e ation was by personal endeavor. Posterity owes much to the pioneers, 8 who have been leaders of all walks ~ md conditions of life, he said. He ' was not in sympathy with the de nand for cheap things; nothing hould be so cheap as to deny proper remuneration to the labor which pro lces it. He respected public opin- L on when it was right, but held it in ~ontempt when wrong. Mr. shwab's A dvice on How t,o Succeed. 1st-Be honest and straightfor ward. 2nd-Don't get a job through inence.

Roosevelt Want.i a Fight Made by the Republican Organization In Every State Ho has Give Up all Hope of the Suc cea.s of Such a Fight In South Car. an, Which he Once Induged. [Special to News atd Courier.] Washington, August 21.-Presi ent Roosevelt is disgusted with outhern Republicans, who are con bantly wrangling over the distribu on of Federal patronage. Senator ritchard, of North Carolina, in assing through Washington to dine 'ith the President, at Oyster Bay, )ft a long trail of political gossip ehind him, which indicates the resident's impatience with the lead rs of the Republican organization ithe South. From the beginning of his admin tration the President has shown rmptoms of hearty disgust with the ctional differences in the South nd with the constant anxiety of the outhern Republican leaders to get earer to the patronage counter. he President at first ignored many the organizations in the South, nd made appointments that suited is own taste. He was warned that e was doing himself harm politi flly and mentally. He then turned round and placed the Southern atronage question largely in the ands of Postmaster General Payne, ho has been known from the be inning as the political manager of ie Presidebt's interests. The President has seen so many videqces of this entir, selfishness i the South and utter disregard of arty interests that he has little pa ence with most of the Republican rganizat ions in that section. He ng ago announced to friends that e did not care the snap of the finger bout the attitude of Southern or anizations to his renomination in 90, and the main reason be had in rning over patronage matters to 1 Postmaster General was to re eve himself of the worry and an oyance they had caused. The president is laboring under 1e delusion that there is really a >undation in the South for a Re ublican party of decent proportions rmed from among Democrats of a nservative tendency. Looking at 3e quetion from this standpoint he isists on the Repulicans making ghts to show just how much may e expected. He is a fighter him. lf and it is action that he wants. E the Republicans fight hard and ase they will gain the respect of the resident. What he wants to see is fighting organization in each State, at organizations whose only aim is > secure the patronage. The Presi ent has not the least respect for en of this stamp. If there is a chance of making >me headway in some of the South rn States, like Virginia, North arolina, South Carolina, Louisiana nd Texas, the President wants the ttempt made. If the attempt is not iade he will hold the leaders re ponsible and ignore them when the t jobs are to be passed around. Eriefiy put, the leaders must work or their positions and not get them y underground methods and by ghting among themselves. At dif Brent times the President has been isited by factional leaders of South n States, who reported to him such condition in their respective States. he opposing faction would come ,long, see the President, deny every hing the other faction said, and then >aint th other faction in the black et possible te rms, hesitating at no arge. The President has often aid that he could not believe a word aid to him, and this lack of confi lence caused him to go outside of he organization for office material or a long time~ at the beginning of hs administration and even now in >ccasional appointments. The President, for a time, believed hat there was really a chance for >uilding a Republican organization n South Carolina, but he has shanged his opinion in that direction.

Seene of Former Outragw-Adds Another Ioault and Drives the Lady Away. The People in Pursuit-The Villlan Yet at Large. (Special to The State.) Augusta, Ga., Aug. 22.-The af fair at Vancluse late yeaterday after noon, which threw the little town into the wildest excitement was the boldest and most dastardly deed ever committed in the South. The same negro who assaulted Miss Susie Clark at the home of her father, a mile freaQ elue, a few weeks ago, and whose name has never been learned, accompanied by another negro, re to ned to the Clark home yesterday afternoon while Mr. Clark was away and compelled the young lady to cook supper for them and serve it in the family dining room. Beyond terrifying the young lady and forgng her to prepare the meal he didi t molest her, but his action is the boldest display of nerve ever heard of. Since the commission of his former criae the people of the little village have been watching out for the negro, but could find r- trace of him, while it now seems that he Wa_ in their very midst all the time. After the negro had finished his meal b1sf6 the premises and Miss Clark and some of her nearest neighbors immediately notified the citizens of - Vancluse who organized a posse and went in search of the fiend. At the - latest communieation from Vaneluse I last night they were still scouring the woods and by-ways but had not 1 fou* t bn.egro. This morning many 1 of de. posse returned to Vaucluse I but others are,sill an the hunt. Up 3 o'1ook this afternoon no trace E >T fthe negro -had been found and there was some talk of putting blood. hounds on the trail. Never was there a more indignanti and horrified community and there I isno sayingwhat will be the fate of I the fiend if he is captured. * - -. STORY OF TNE OUTl3eE. Atelegram was received by the Herald at 9 o'clock last niget stating that thy little town of Vaneluse was again aroused by another attempt by the:same negro who, a week or so aga aaulnted Miss Susie Chark, en *tering the home of Miss Clark and insulting that young lady a second tis*e. All kinds of reports were heard last night. A lynching was said toI be on the tapis at Vaucluse, and laterI it was said that a lynching bee had takanplaoe. This was tound to be4 a-mistake. NEavY NEGRoES. A gentleman who came to Augusta on the 7.40 Southern train this morn ing related the facts of the trouble. Last night Miss Susie Clark was alone at her home, a mile or so from Vauckas station. She heard a knock at the door, opened it and found two burly negroes on the threshold. She was about to shut the door when the negroes pushed their way into the honse. The young lady recognized in one of -the negroes her former as sailant, but whose name she did not know. It was the same negro who had been hunted by the men of Vau cluse, but who had given them the slip, and this time he was as bold as on his first venture. "We want you to cook us supper be quick about it," said the bold in truder. How SHE ESCAPED. The two negroes seated them - -selves at a table, says the reporter's informant, and proceeded to make themselves at home. One of them lit~ a pipe and cocked his legs on the table. Miss Clark was frightened, but did not lose presence of mind, and, see ing that the men had her in their -power, she proceeded to cook the food for them. They were served, and one of them demanded that she cook them a couple of eggs. "There are none in the house, but I'l get you some aross the way." Carolina. Senator Pritchard is go ing right ahead with a fight in that State. All along tbo line and in every district in North Carolina, the Republicans, under the senvitor's lead, will face the opposition. Sena tor Pritchard himself is a candidate for re-election to the senate, and is going to take chances that conserva tive Democrats is the State will vote for a Republican legislator here and there, so as to return Senator Pritch ard. If Pritchard fails in his en deavors it is said that he will be pro uided with a federal judg3hip, a position he has long sought. He may pull off the position in the Court of Claims, which McLaurin declined. BEN TILLMAN OR BILL CHANDLER? 4 Great New England Newspaper Thinks the New Hampshire Politician a 'Het ter Example of the Lordly and contemptuous 'Tyrant' than the South Carolina Senator " (Springfield Republican.; Ex-Senator Chandler comes out of his New Hampshire seclusion long enoagh to say, in a letter to the New York Sun, that a negro-lynching, vote suppressing South should not be allowed any longer to menace the a nation with unfairly won Democratic victories. He evidently thinks the e South should be deprived of that rep- - resentation in Congress and the Elec toral College which is based on the negro population of the - South. He notes an increase in the number and ferocity of lynchings. "Until within a few years the mob executions have been carried on by hanging or shoot ing. Now burning at the stake is common, coal oil is poured over the victim, and the community gather to witness the torture and murder of their untried fellow citizen." And he says: "Ought there to be in 1902 and 1904 Democratic victories thus ob tained, by reason of which the tariff system is to be destroyed on the pre- r tence of suppressing trusts, and 'he United States troops are to be with-U drawn from the Philippines and the islands left to anarchy, civil war, cru elties and bloodshed unlimited, and 6 to conquest by the nations of Europe, or ought it to be unmistakably un-U derstood by the whole world that as - long as the Democratic party seeks national power through a solid South, made solid by the lynchings of col ored people and the suppression of their votes by the open, 2efiant and unexcused and inexcusable disregard of the fifteenith amendment, the Re publican party will be kept in na tional power in the United States? It seems to me that the 'moral de formity' and the 'bloody and brutal gospel' of the lynchers of the colored men of America ought to receive1 some notice from Mr. Bryan and also from the Hon. George S. Bout well, of Massachusetts."I No defence or palliation of South ern lynchings or vote suppressionsI will now or ever appear in these col umns. But it may be remarked that a man in Chandler's position requires a lot of mental or moral obfuseation to say anything very savage about the Southern attitude toward the ne gro in the light of his own attitude blI toward another colored people. He sh speaks of leaving the Philippine th Islands to "anarchy,'.' "war," "cru- far elties" and "bloodshed unlimited." coi Does he think that the Filipino gov- lit einent, which was established with fla the connivance of Dewey, and whose no success in commanding the contented a < loyalty of the native population was D< reported on at length by men servinge under Dewey-does he think that ps government could have possibly done an more than our owni to produce an- otl archy, war, cruelties and bloodshed :th unlimited ? Would the black record th of killings, by tens of thousands tor- to tures, burnings, outrages, and so on, in that now stains the annals of the sa American nation, have probably been hb: surpassed? It takes nerve to stand th up and talk of what dreadful things Y might have happened through other ar agencies than our own, in the face of to what actually has happened through in our own agency. w Let the retired New Hampshire d4 statesman prove himself equal to it re s much a he will.
