J Koopnian went down to Hymanville to attend the inquest. The proceedings took tip almost the entire day, and it was ' at a late hour last night that they ; returned with their prisoners. Perfect order was preserved by the officers during the inquest,and there was: no attempt at any disorder. After the crowd had assembled at the; place of inquest orders weie issued that no one be allowed to leave the premises, and this order was obeyed to the letter. Sheriff Burch forwarded his offic- ! ial report to Governor Ansel. Sher- j iff Burch and his assistants, by their j prompt action, in all probability,1 nipped in the bud a movement that j would have grown to serious proporj vivuo* ^What caused probably more ex- ' eitement in the neighborhood were 'night rider" posters tacked up on ( trees and buildings all through the j neighborhood. These posters were tacked up on Monday night. One J of the members of the coroner's jury' found one of them tacked on the . front door of his house on Tuesday j and another found several stuffed in | bis mail box. The posters are writ- j ten on plaiu note paper, and urei decorated at the top with what pur-; ports to be a rising sun, with the word "Notice'' in the centre of the sun. While, of course, they were -only iutended as a bluff, which a' ~*Vthorough invea.igation disclosed.' they caused qui^ a great deal of alarm in the community. Several of them were brought to Hie city j ?md were shown on the streets todav. - I A copy of one follows: "Notice. "We night riders, the one Arthur1 Davis, colored, was killed on last1 Thursday night by a band of 52: men, which has sworn to protect their country, and we here further | say that if there is any white brought up in that thing, we will make each and every juror, magistrate and witness suffer the same Arthur Davis did, for rape ou a white lady." In addition to the officers, your correspondent today interviewed a gentleman from Hyinauville who is well acquainted with all the facts of the case, and he corroborated in -every detail facts as set out above. He further stated that there was absolutely no srround for the statement that the negro had been lynched tor rape.

' The demand tor free advertising is in extent of persistence and ingenuity beyond the belief of any but those! who have had experience in the bus-!1,1 : iness. A man, who would never j think of going into a grocery store! and r 'jue.-vh g the proprietor to donate a barrel of flour, or into a shoe ir' i store and te!l:?g the owner that if : ts he has no objection he thinks he'll i ; i help himself to a pair of rhoes, will j ! walk confidently iu'o a newspaper)" i office and prefer his request f<?r sev- i jeral dollars'worth ??f five adverti--' liim and fc-i-1 mmliiliv offended if uj fllscd. The sollc itor ->f five advertising is . 1 , . ? 5 j always sure that tne proprietor]would be "glad of something to t I help till up the paper.'' He is just ^ | as glad as the groceryman is glad of | some one to help carry off his stock without payment. Time uud again, uyder the gui>e of news items,matter is presented which is plain advertising and if used at all should be paid for as sticb.^ J Th e uewspHj <r proprietor expects to furnish a Certain amount of free advertising to religious, charitable L and public enterprises. If he didn't ? he would be looked ou as a heathen, hard-hearted mercenary, lacking in ; public spirit. His contribution is accepted as a nu' er of course, and rarely is lie 1 a word of y thanks. Sometime.. reuses to donate as much space as thev promoter of some enterprise desires, and then i ^ he is looked upon us unreasonable!^ and disobliging. The proprietor also is expected and' is willing to give ? a little free advertising to those who run paid advertisements in his paper. is This is a matter of business cour ^ tesv which ?? rarely abused. But with the hordes of solicitors for free ~ advertising which constantly besiege 0 the newspaper oftiees, with no possible claim upon his courtesies save the hope of getting something foi nothing, the proprietor has no sym- pi pathy whatever. The duties that the newspaper ^ proprietor and editor owe to the pub- 9] lie are numerous, diverge and exact- c; ing. It is high time that the public b should understand that these duties 0: do not include the sacrifice of a con- M sideiable amount of valuable space 0I for the benefit of individuals or enterprises which give nothing in re-i turn.?Hork Hill Hcyd. , (j President Helps Orphans.
