Since the lynching of John Morrison at Kershaw there has been not a little discussion in regard to the number of white men in this state who have suffered from lynch iaw since the state got back to a rational basis and the people returned to a sane condition af? ter Radical misrule, says The State. The case of Moore in Spartanburg County had been cited,already. The case of Cuibreath of Edgefield is another, although it is said to have been more of an assassination or feud than a lynching. Another has been brought to recol? lection, it was the kiliing of Manee YTaldrop in Rekens ia 1887 or 1888. It was art the hands of negroes that this man paid with his life for the crime which he had committed. But the white people of the community are said to have- raised no serious objection to this method ef dealing with Wald? ron, who was not strong minded and his. guilt was said to be beyond ques? tion. The little negro girl died? and her body, af ter. being exhumed, was examined by a physician who declared the nature bf the crime. Waldrop had been out rabbit hunting the day of the crime and there were many evidences to show that he had been near the place and that be was the guilty party. A gentleman who is now a resident cf Columbia was living at Central at the time, and he advised the depnty sheriffs not to start at night with their prisoner. But they started for the jail at 1 o'clock, and about mid? night were taken in hand by a large and enraged body of negroes, who took the white man into the woods and executed him according to the accepted plans and specifications fur? nished in such a striking manner by the white people on numerous occas? ions. The gentleman who told of- this tragedy said that he was one of the party who found the body the next morning after a great deal of search ins. But the negro murderers did not get off. as easily as* the white men do these days, and four of them went to the State prison. That was when Col. Jas. L. Orr of Greenville was solici? tor, and he was a powerful prosecut? ing officer. The ex-resident of Pick ens county does! not know whether any of the prisoner are still in the peni? tentiary, for their names had escaped him.. The News and Courier has had the following : "The John Moore case was the first lynching of a white man in South Car? olina since the war between the States, that is, the first regulation lynching." said a gentleman more or less familiar with up-country affairs, yesterday. "Your Columbia correspondent," he added,.*'did not name the crime in his reference to it. The facts as I remember them were that a respectable white girl was found dead in a ditch with her throat cut and evidences that she had been viley abused. The crime ; was traced to Moore, a rather worth? less white man. This was not far from the village of Reidville and I think was in 1878. At any rate it was during a political campaign, for the late Col. Tom Woodward of Winns boro was a candidate for Congress in that district, and drove by the scene of the lynching at about the time it occurred. About 3,000 people are said to have been present. Coi. Wood? ward delivered a speech counseling moderation and, I think, advising that j the law should be allowed take its course. The mob, although it numbered some of the leading citizens of the county, and perhaps of Greenville, Laurens and Union counties, was in no humor to hear him and he received anything but a sympathetic reception. Moore was placed in a buggy, a rope tied about his neck and the^ other end flung over the limb of a tree. Then the buggy was pulled from under him and he was left dangling. This' was probably the most representative and the largest mob that ever lynched a man in South Caroinla. lt embraced practically the whole population of a ?arge and prosperous section of coun? try. The murderer's victim and the lynchers' victim were both white. The negro question was not remotely connected with it. Spartanbure bas never been undef 'negro domination,' not even iu Radical imes. "Another lynching," continued the gentleman, " which escaped the mem? ory of your Columbia correspondent and which created intense excitement throughout the State was that of Cuibreath in Edgefield, in about 1885. ! Cuibreath was a man of bad charac? ter, but of good connections. He had killed some members of bis fam? ily and was in the Edgefield jail. He was taken from the jail by a mob and executed. I. think that some of the members of this mob were indicted and it included men of prominence. Although it was not large- -that is, compared with the great gathering that banged John Moore. The Moore lynching, by the way, was probably the first affair of the kind, at least, the first that attracted general atten? tion, after the Cemocats regained control of the Stare in 1876. If the Moore incident gave an impetus to mob law it is carious, indeed, that it was, as already pointed out, exclu? sively a 'white man's affair.'

Boston, Oct. 12.-A marked division of en timen t. regaring the proposal, to prevent the re-marriage of the inno? cent party to a divorce during,the life of the former partner, developed at todays' session of the house of de? puties of the Episcopal general con? vention. The house sitting as a com? mittee of the whole discussed the issue all day and many vehement addresses were made by both sides. Several prominent delegates express? ed the opinion tonight that in view of the great difference of opinion the present convenitou would not act on the matter bnt woald, like its prede? cessor, refer the problem to the next triennial convention. A commotion was caused by John C. Buxton of Winston, N. C., who at? tempted to link the divorce evil with the liquor question. Mr. Buxton is the deputy who on the opening day of the convention attempted to read a resolution censur? ing Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York for opening the Subway saloon. In his rem?rks today he expressed the opinion that it would he better for the church to curb the liquor traffic be? fore changing the canons on marriage.. Continuing, he was saying, "If in? stead of a high official of the church lending his inflneuce to the dedication of saloons,'* when he was interrupted by a point of order. Mr. Buxton was admonished by the chairman. Still he attempted to make some further reference indirectly to the Subway tavern but was promptly called to order by the chairman. The time limit of the morning session expired before Mr. Buxton could continue. James MConnell of New Orleans i opposed the adoption of the new cannon in a dramatic speech. ' * In God's name, ' ' hev declared, ".now can the church legislate to take away the pain of the innocent What right has aDy one to change the meaning of the words in j St. Matthew's gospel? Where is the man to expound away the written word of the Son of God himself?" / Rev. T. J. Beard of Birmingham, Ala., was opposed to the adoption of the proposed canon because it compro? mised the church as a teacher. George Foster Peabody of Brooklyn thought that all amendments to the present canon should be voted down as the church was evidently emphatically divided on the issue. The debate was put over until to? morrow. The house of bishops today present? ed the Archbishop of Canterbury with a silver loving cup. The English pri? mate will leave the city for New York tomorrow and will sail for England on Friday. The resignation of Bishop Thomas A. Jaggar of southern Ohio was re? ceived and accepted by the house of bishops and his coadjutor, Eight Rev. Boyd Vincent, becomes bishop of the diocese. i- ? ? - London, Oct. 13.-The bulletin is? sued at Walmer Castle this morning announced that Lady Curzon passed a restless night and is somewhat ex? hausted this morning.

New York, Oct, 13.-Mrs. Nellie Ferguson was burod to death early thin morning in her' <ome at 163 East 54th Street and several others were in jored in ?heil blaze which destroyed the house which was a four story brown stone mansion.

His real name cannot be obtained as he refuses to givo it. He jumped from the fourth story window and broke both knee caps and if he survives he will be a cripple for life.

The report does not men? tion the fighting on the right wing. | The full text of Gen. Kuropatkin's report which is dated October 13 and addressed to the emperor is as follows: "Last night and throughout today the Manchurian army was engaged in a fierce fight. The Japanese concen? trated a great force against our dispo? sitions on the centre and right wing. We carried on the fight from advanced positions and it became necessary to support these advance guards from the main position. The right wing held its advance position and only at nigtfali under my orders retired to the principal position. In the centre the troops were forced to retire from the advance to the main position about 2 p. m. "According to reports and to my own observations the fighting was most desperate. We repulsed numer? ous Japanese attacks and ourselves as? sumed the offensive. The heroic de? fense of its advance position by the Tomsk regiment is especially deserving of mention. ' . ' "During the night our troops on the right flank recaptured at the point of the bayonet a village which had been lost the previous evening. On the left flank severe fighting for the possession of a pass has been continu? ed. O?r troops scaled almost inac? cessible rocks and held their ground for two days gradually approaching the enemy. "I have not yet received a report of the result of today's fight on the left wing. Under the conditons of the fighting the losses are necessarily con? siderable. I have ordered that the positions we now hold be stubbornly defended tomorrow." Loudon, Oct. 14.-Baron Hayashe, the Japanese Minister this morning, issued a report from Field Marshall Oyama, received in Tokio confirming many of the press reports of Russian reverses about Yentai.

Central army captured the heights a few miles north of Yentai, taking two field guns and eight ammunition wagons. While pursuing the enemy, they also captured field guns ammunition wagons numbering eleven at Sunkuainshi chan, besides one hundred and fifty prisoners.

The left since Tuesday night has been continuously attacking the enemy who are posted near the rail? way, within ten miles north of Yan? tai. The central column of the left army, after repulsing the enemy's strong force, occupied Lantshich, five miles northwest of Yentai, captur? ing sixteen guns.

Edinburgh, Oct. 12.-The duke of Connaught, brother of I?ing Edward, while driving in a motor car from Edinburgh to Gosford house, the seat of the earl of Wemyss, had a narrow escape from death and suffered painful injuries from which he was for a time unconscious.

The overhanging portion of the cart struck the rear seat of the automobile and literally, carried away that section or the ve- > hiele. The duke'was thrown out with great force. As soon as the automo? bile could be stopped Maj. Murray went to the aid of the duke, whom he found unconscious and bleeding from wounds about the head. A second automobile, carrying members of the duke's suite, came up and the duke was taken hack to Edinburgh in it. By the time the automobile reached Edinburgh the duke had recovered and was able to walk into his hotel. After two stitches were taken in his ear and his hurts had been examined ! by physicians, it was announced that the duke would ?affer no seirous con? sequences, but had received a severe shaking up and shock.
