BILL ARP M SIS WIFE ALGHE. An Old Virginia Gentleman Invites Them to His Birthday Dinner. Atlanta Constitution. Lord Bacon said, "Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for mid dle age and old men's nurses." Tiiere is truth, in that and ray wife is nursing me now. Our girls have gone off, one to a wedding and the other to Atlanta on a visit. I told them to go, for they have been penned up here with me for four long months and sheir mother said she would take care of me until they returned. I get along pretty well during the day, but at; night my co-gh is distressing and my wife has to dose me with various remedies until I get to sleep. The rain has come at last and purified the air and I feei better. Yes, we two are alone in a great big house. She site in her ac customed corner and sews most all day long, while 1 sit opposite in mine and write or read aloud to her, and when meal time comes she sits at one end of the table and I at the other, and that's alL Old Father Gibbons came nine miles yesterday to see me and to invite me and my wife to his birthday dinner. Nest week he will be 89 years old, and still gets about lively and takes a com fort in meeting his friends and abus ing the Yankees. It is hard to recon struct these old veterans, especially when.hey come from Virginia. He and his brother moved* to Georiga just af ter the close of the war. He settled in this county on a good farm and his brother located in Rome. I never was at the o?d gentleman's house but once and ? that was in 1866. His brother was a game man and had been a col onel in the Confederate army. When the carpet-baggers and mean niggers overrun their section and plundered every rebel's home, the colonel organ ized a band of avengers and played ku klux among them and whipped them and ran them off, and later they came back with Federal officers and the colonel and his band had to leave to save their lives. Not long after the colonel had settled in Rome the Virginia carpet-baggers : got a military order for his arrest and transportation to Virginia for trial. A deputy marshal and another fellow came secretly to Rome, but the col onel had already been advised of their coming and so one dark night about 10 O'clock he came to my house and told me his peril, and said he could go to his brother's place in this county and hide out until the pursuit had b?owed over. S? I hitched my horse to our rockaway and we left in haste. I knew the road to Kingston' and he knew the rest of the way. It was about 3 o'clock when we reached the place and saw the gin. ' house out in the field. There we stop- ; ped and he teck refuge in it, and ? told me to tie my horse out in the bushes and then go down and ranse up ! his brother. This is the old man who asked us to come and dine with him. 1 When knocked at the door he came ' in his night clothes and said. "Who * is that and what do you want?" I ? whispered my businessja:ad told him to ' talk low, for we didn't want the lamily or the negroes to know any . thing. He put on his clothes and went 3 to his brother and I got in ^my con veyance and made for Rome, where -1 I arrived about sunrise. The colonel " kept hid in the gin house under the ! cotton for nearly a month and then dared to return, for the officers had 1 departed. ! I never see this fine old Virginia \ gentleman but what I think of that ? ride and the narrow escape his brother , made. Verily reconstruction was worse than war. But it is all over , now, thank the good Lord, and we can j .hold our reunions and carry our battle- j torn banners and build our monuments j and lay the corner stone for Winnie ? Davis, and lynch the brutes that as- j sault our wives and daughters, and as Governor Oatcs said to our defamers , in Congress, " What are you going to j do about it?" And a3 for lynching, I , repeat what I have said before, "Let ' the good work go on. Lynch 'em I Hang 'em! . Shoot 'em! Burn'em." j Israel Putnam "went into a cave with a ] torch to shoot the wolf that had de- ; vonred the Iambs of his Sock, and just so I would lynch the brutes who out rage our women. He is not a human. He is a brute, a beast and all these demonstrations by Governors and judges and sheriffs are hypocritical and perfunctory. In their breast they \ rejoice in the lynching. And there is another set of hypocrites who infest our Southern land. I mean , those who for the sake of filthy lucre , and nothing else invite Roosevelt to visit their city and they promise him an ovation. He comes nearer being a ;3gure-head of a President than any we have ever had. He is a confirm ed slanderer of a great and good man, and he knows he slandered him and will not retract or apologize. Our wo men have just laid a corner stone for a monument to his lamented daughter and our veterans and members of the Legislature approved it by their pres ence, and yet some of the same crea tures would invite Roosevelt to Savan nah and Macon and Augusta. I wouldn't invite any man to my town whom I wouldn't invite to my house, and no man who fought for the Lost Cause or respects Mr. Davis would do that. There is more patriotism today among our woman than among our men. A friend wrote me from Atlanta that he was going to have ,000 copies of General Jackson'3 great speech on ' the "Wanderer" printed in pamphlet form for distribution at a small cost among our people. I have promised to help him advertise it, but I had no idea that he could sell or hardly give away a thousand copies, for our old men and cultured men and patriots are nearly all dead, and this generation does not care whether General Jackson made a speech or not. I asked a col lege man if he had ever read it and be seemed surprised and asked who was Gen. Jackson. Our people who have gro?vn up since the war have fallen into Northern lines and are for money. Money is their ambi ?.Ion, their" idol. Morgan and Rockefeller have done more to corrupt the young men of this country than all other causes combined. Those who are smart are looking for some short cut to fortune?one scheme, some tricky way to shear the lambs and get some body's money for nothing. This is sad* but it is the truth. Well, the election is over and we ara just wnere we were. We didn't ex pect anything else. Senator Morgan can take comfort, for he said long ago that it was best to let the Repub ! licans have the Honse as long as they had the Senate. Give them rope, all the rope, and let the country see where they will rnn to, and by the next Presidential election the people wiS be alarmed and turn the rascals out. So mote it be. Bili Arp. SAMUEL GONPERS' WARNING. Unanimity of Action the Only Hope of Allied Lahor. New Orleans, November 13.?Presi dent Samuel Gompers, at the opening of the American Federation of Labor today, delivered an impassioned warn ing to the members of the organization that, the immediate future of trade and labor assemblies was seriously en ! dangered by the conflicting claims of jurisdiction made by different bodies. Unless such things were approached in calmness and handled with moderation, he declared, the labor organizations of the country would soon be involved in a conflict which would by comparison, dwarf all the struggles in which labor organizations have so far been engaged. The matter would, unless checked, he asserted, come to a point where labor ing men would fight with laboring men from behind barricades, in the manner in which men deal with their mortal foes. His warning of danger and his counsels of peace and moderation met with a- hearty response from the as sembled delegates, and applause greet ed the speaker as he closed that portion of his address in which he had point ed out the perils which, in his opinin, will surely come unless methods are altered, and altered soon. The first day of the Convention, aside from the address of President Gompers, was not of great interest to outsiders and many delegates found it fatiguing. The morning session was occupied with addresses of welcome and responses, and the report of the committee of credentials. The after noon was consumed by the address of President Gompers, which occupied him for two hours and twenty minutes of rapid reading. The reports of other officers required two additional hours. Tomorrow it is expected that the actual work of the Convention will be entered upon. LAW AS TO NONPAYMENT OE TAXES. Information Concerning Important Statute Now Operative. Special to The State. Bennettsville, Nov. , 13.?There is a law on the statute books (acts of 1902, page 971) the provisions of which may not be generally known. Your correspondent has asked several officials about it and none seem to know that such an act had been pass ?d. The treasurer and auditor of this county were surprised to find it and 5ay they have received no notice of it from the tax department in Columbia. Treasurer Thomas has written to other treasurers in regard to it and some of bhem have replied that they know nothing of such a law. This act provides that on all taxes aot paid by December 31st a penalty of I per cent, shall be added on their tax implicates by the auditor and collected by the treasurer. After February 1st an additional 1 per cent, shall be add ?d, and after March 1st an additional 5 per cent. If the taxes and accrued penalties are not paid by March 15th, the treasurer shall issue his tax ex ecution. The officials here say that this law will cause an endless amount of con fusion in the tax department. A large number of taxpayers may prefer to keep their money until March 1st and pay the additional 2 percent., and it would be difficult for the auditor to add the first penalty on all the implicates in time for the treasurer to begin collecting before the second penalty would be due. The law was no doubt passed to re move the necessity for an extension of time for paying taxes, but the Marl boro treasurer and auditor think the time should be extended this year to save the tax departments of the coun ties from' a very serious tangle. Camden, N. J., Nov. 13.?A frog was poisoned in court today to show the jury the agonies of a human being dying as a result cf being poisoned with strychnine. Paul Woodward, who is alleged to have lured two boys, Brice Jennings and Paul Coffin, from this city into the woods and having caused their death with strychnine, was on trial and Prof. Marshall, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, was testify ing. He took some of the poison ex tracted from the liver of Paul Coffin and forced it into a live frog. The jury and all others in court became intensely interested and in a few minutes the frog went into con vulsions. The professor explained the action of the drug as the frog, writh ing, exhibited ail the agonies the boy had suffered as he died. The experi ment caused" a sensation in the court room. Eome, Nov. 13.?The volcano on Stromboli island (off the north coast of Sicily) has commenced a terrible eruption. A colossal column of fire is rising and incandescent stones are being emitted from the craters. Many houses on the islands have been de stroyed. Darlington, November 11.?On Sun day John Covington, a colored man, shot his wife in the face, inflicting a painful wound. Covington had been working in the country and when ho came home he got into a quarrel with his wife and wound it up by shooting her twice. He got on a bicycle and escaped. He lived on the outskirts of the town. One Minute Cough Cure Is the only harmless congh care that gives quick relief.

Washington, Nov. 12.?That the an thracite coal mine owners will resist to the utmost every effort to make the recognition of the United Mine Work ers of America an issue in the arbitra tion which is now in progress is made evident by the replies to the statement of President John Mitchell, of the miners' organization, which have been filed with the strike commission. There are five of these answers in ad dition to that of President Baer, which was given out yesterday, and all dwell, with especial emphasis and mark ed unanimity, on this point. They also agree in resisting the demands of the miners for an increase of pay for piece work, a reduction of hours for mine work and for the weighing, rath er than the measurement, of coal. Recorder Wright left for the anth ! racite regions today, taking the replies with Lim. In addition to the statement made for the Reading Com pany by President Baer, the list com prises the replies of the Delaware and Hudson Company, the Delaware and Lackatvanna, the Lehigh Valley, the Pennsylvania and the Scranton Coal Company. The reply for the Delaware and Lackawnna Company, signed by W. H. Truesdale, says: "This company un equivocally asserts that it wiii, under no condition, recognize or enter into any agreement with the association known as the United Mine Workers of America or any branch thereof. Nor will permit said association or its officers to dictate the terms and con ditions under which it shall conduct its business. " Mr. Truesdale declaies that it is im possible to adopt a uniform rate to be paid to the miner of a. unit of coal mined at all mines. On the point of general prosperity, he says that "prior to the introduction of agitators and mischief-makers, the anthracite work ers were on an average as prosperous, comfortable and contented as any body of workers in similar employment in this country." The wages, it is added, are such that frugal employees have saved a substantial amount every year. Mr. Truesdale resists - the demand for a-reduction of 20 percent in hours of labor, saying that no branch of business employing thousands of men can hope to compete successfully in the markets of the would if hours of labor are restricted. President Olyphant, of the Delaware and Hudson Company, in his reply declares that the wages paid by his company -are just and adequate. He also says that "those of its employees who perform contract or piece work as a ma tter of their own volition work only about six hours a day and take numerous holidays without the consent or approval of this respondent, and their earnings, by hours of actual work, are therefore, much higher than those any similar employment. " President Olyphant also takes excep tion to the proposition to arbitrate the question of the recognition "of the Miners' Union. This position is placed on the ground that the organization seeks to control the entire fuel supply of the country : that as the union is unincorporated it is incapable -of mak ing a binding contract. President T. P. Fowler speaks for the Scranton Coal Company and the Elk Hill and Coal and Iron Company. He asserts that if the averge wage earned earned by the anthracite piece workers is less than that paid to work ers in other employments is because "they fix their own hours of labor and the amount of tbeir earnings." ?? On the question of miners' unions Mr., Fowler says: "We deny that agreements between employers and em ployees through workingmen's organi zations are beneficial and successful in the bituminous coal fields or else where, and assert that any such agree ment as a method of regulating pro duction would be, and is, injurious to the best interest of the public." The statements made for the Lehigh Valley and the Pennsylvania com paies cover the same ground as the other statements. ' Hanged by a Tennessee Mob. Lewisburg, Tenn, November 13.? John Davis, a negro was hanged in the Court House yard today by a mob of five hundred men for the murder of Robert Adair, a farmer living near tbis city. Adair's body was found in a terribly multilated condition in a field near his home here at an early hour today. He had started out in pursuit of a thief who was stealing his corn and when his body was discovered the stock and barrel of a gun and a knife covered with blood were found near him. The knife was identified as the property of John Davis, color ed. The sheriff organized a posse and went to the house of Davis and found a pile of bloody clothes, but the murder er had fled. He was caught, however, about ha?f a mile from town, but not until he had been ti wee wounded. He was brought back and the sheriff and the Rev. John R. Harris made an ap peal to the people to allow the law to take its course. Greenwood, November 13.?The reg ular session of Court is to be held here in a short while. The recent stir about the Court at Newberry got the Greenwood Bar to thinking. The en tire local Bar, so it is stated, has sent a sort of round-robin to Governor Mc Sweeney asking that if Judge Buch anan thinks himself eligible, notwith standing the suggested change of domicile, that he serve here as Judge, and it be announced : that if he thinks himself ineligible that the Governor appoint Judge-elect Purdy in his place. This the Bar here say will be entirely legal and the lawyers here do not undertake to say or to suggest that Judge Buchanan has moved his domicile from Sumter to Winnsboro, and this is not to intimate that he has, but the Bar here simply want to be on the safe side. To the Public. Allow me to gay a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had a very severe cough and cold and feared I would get pnenmouia, but after taking the sec ond dose of this medicine I felt better, three bottles of it cured my cold and the pains in my chest disappeared entirely. I am most respectfully yours for health, Ralph S. Meyers, G4-Thirty-seventh St., Wheeling, W. Va. For sale by A. J. China. THE TARIFF F?8HT. -_ I Gsrman Reichstag Authorizes Gov ernment to Retaliate Against American Protection. Berlin, Nov. 13.?The reichstag to day adopted by 102 to 71 votes the paragraph of the new tariff bill auth orizing the government to retaliate on any country discriminating against German goods. The agrarians openly affirmed that it was ecessa rvy to arm the government with weapons for re prisal, especially against the United States customs practices. Dr. Rumer, National-Liberal, cited an instance in which he said $200,000 worth of enameled goods were ordered in Ger many for New York but the speaker asserted the customs officials4'changed the classification at the instance of the American trust, wherepuon the New York importer cancelled the order." The incident of the day was Herr Richter's declaration that obstruction in a parliamentary body was contrary to the dignity of the house and that, besides, it was futile and childish. The old radical leader's withdrew from the minority and his action in supporting the Conservative and Cen ter party with which he had been fight ing for three years, caused Herr Be bell (Socialist), to rise, point a finger I at Herr Richter and exclaimed passion j ately : I "Go to the right. Your place is among the anti-Semites." Herr Richter made an angry answer, which was lost in the uproar which followed Herr Bebel's remarks. Herr Richter's entire party followed him and acted with the majority against the Socialists and Moderate Radicals. The proceedings in the reichstag to day demonstrated that the house rules can and will be changed so that the tariff obstructionists will no longer be able to prevent the dispatch of busi ness. By a succession of roll cails, in which the majority commanded over two hundred votes" out of an atten dance of less than three hundred, the reichstag determined to set aside the order of business and take up a motion to change the rules. The house has been in continuous session since noon and the fight apparently will be con tinued tonight until the amendments to the rules are carried. The Associated Press is authorized to announce that the ministry has not decided to drop the tariff bill, as pub lished in London, but is determined to persist until the dissolution. of the reichstag in June. The tariff debate will probably be abruptly suspended by the presentation of the budget in a few days instead of waiting for -the first week in December, as previously intended. Chancellor von Buelow finds that the reichstag's time is bieng wasted and wants to employ the house on the finance bill. As soon as the latter is ready the government will take up the tariff bill, when lapse of time will have reduced the majority in the house to a more yielding disposi tion. The ministry also has decided not to agree with Russia or any other country for a five years' extension of existing commercial treaties. m mm'wfh7 MOB. Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina a Would-be Lyncher. The Columbia Record of Thursday publishes the following concerning the attempt to lynch the Edgefield fire bug: "As might have been expected, as soon as it was learned that the negro had been caught the first thought of highly wrought up and indignant citizens was lynching. The sheriff re alized this state of feeling as soon as he got the negro in his custody. He intended to take his prisoner to Trenton and bring him to Columbia for safekeeping, but while on the way he was reliably informed that a mob was forming, headed by Lieutenant Governor Tillman, who intended to take the prisoner from him and lynch him near Trenton. The sheriff deter-1 mined to prevent this violation of law even if the lieutenant governor was at the head of the party. He therefore took to the woods and made a long and circuitous route, caught a train and came by Branchville to Columbia. "These facts were learned from one of the party who came here with the prisoner, who volunteered the inform ation that they had to make a long, difficult and tiresome journey to get here in order to get away from Jim Tillman and his mob. The negro is now safe behind the penitentiary walls. "The information was also given that the reason it was not desired that Bostick should be lynched was because it was expected that he would confess and implicate other negroes engaged in the plot to burn the town. "A dispatch from Edgefield denies that there was any organized attempt at lynching, but the sheriff evidently thought there was, else he would not have taken the long route that he did.' | m London, November 13.?The efforts of the members of the Lancashire Cotton Growers' Association to emancipate themselves from the American raw supply have been ex tended to Jamaica. The Association has voted a large sum of money to be devoted to cotton growing in that isl and on an extensive seale. It is ex pected that a large area in Jamaica will be planted with cotton next sea son. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 13.?The rein terment of the bones of Gen. Nathaniel Green of Revolutionary fame will occur tomorrow under the auspices of the as sociation of patriotic societies of this city. A prominent place in the ex ercises will be occupied by the Daugh ters of the American Revolution, the National society of which is now in annual State conference in this city. A Thanksgiving Dinner.

Hug ht on & Go. THE ELECTION AT GOODWILL County Chairman Knight Makes An Explanation. Editor The Daily Item: I have just read a communication from a Goodwill correspondent in which lie states that no election was held at his polling place, " because certain young men re fused to serve as managers because they had not been paid for their ser vices in the primary election, and hai no assurance that they would be paid for this service. " So fardas the primary election is con cerned, I wish to state: 1 That the County Democratic Exec utive Committee ordered that each manager of that election should receive one dollar for both the first and second primaries. There being three man agers appointed, this would take three dollars for each club. 2. That] I hold receipts from the managers!of the Salem and Mayes ville Clubs showing that they have been paid one dollar each "for ser vices as primary election managers Aug. 26th and Sept. 9th, 1902."

Florence, Nov. 11.?Archie Brearley, a Sumter negro who has been dodging the officers of the law for two years, was arrested at the passenger depot in this city Saturday morning by Sheriff Burch and Detective J. C. Biount, and was taken to Sumter and lodged in jail. He is wanted here on a charge of grand larceny. Brearley worked two year ago on the local freifght between Florence and Sumter, and it is said that he would dump bales of cotton off the train between stations, which his pals would haul to Sumter and sell Then the proceeds would be divided with Brearley. Detectives were put to workjon thejcase and Brearley was soon spotted, but he 'sloped" before he could be arrested^. He went to Geor gia and thence to Florida. Recently he returned home on a visit, and he could not evade the officers a second time and was captured before he could get away. Two other negroes are im plicated for whom the officers are looking.
