To the Editor Of the News and

ished in the News and Courier IN re-
ply to charges made by him IN his
Anderson speech. I am free to con-
fsss that I have been a warm sup
porter and an ardent admirer OF Capt
Tillman, because I believed him to
be a sincere and true friend Of the
farmer, and that when ne uttered the
charges OF 'srottenness, corruption,
etc., etc, against the State officers
that he had indubitable proof, how
ever much We might regret it, and
that they would be sustained But
since reading Commissioner Buffers
calm and digniied reply, and which
seems to me so truthful, that I am
convinced that Capt. Tillnan must
bring forth positive proof to sustain
the charges made not only against
the commissioner, but against the
other State officers, or he will and
must so to the wall.
Mere accusation Will not do, it the
charges are not sustained by positive
and undeniable proof. I don't be

Will deliberately make false charges
to the injury OF the gentlemen who
have been placed in the highest Off
ces within the gift of the people

so well, both in peace and war: The
true men of South Carolina will not
permit any man to go into the high

false and umsustained charges. Capt.

Nurdor and Robbery at Ashley junction
Near Charleston.

\
| The Newsand Courier OF the slst
contains the following account Of a
fracas in the store OF Fritz Hotting-
ger. near Ashley Junction:
Ats o'clock there were in the
store Mr.. Fritz Bottinger, his clerk,
31r. Muller and colored boy, al OF
these being behind the coun-
ter. Besides these three there were
q few customers, asis the fashion,
loung;ng about and waiting until
the close OF the store. Suddenly,
when things were in this condition,
two colored men appeared IN the
light outside the door inside the
fence which encloses the store. One
OF the men had his rifle raised and the
other shot gun MIR. Hottinger
was standing nearly opposite the
| door, and it is wonder he was not
riddled with bullets. Both negroes
began firing. The smoke ofthe guns,
together with the blaze OF the pow
der and the suddenness OF the attack,
had the effect Of paralyzing all the
energies Of those IN the store. Those
who were not behind the counter
broke and ran, most Of them into the
back part Of the store and others en-
deavoring to make their escape
through the windows. It was a case
of save who can. Five shots were
fred, the double barrel gun going off
twice and the Winchester being fred
three times. Mr.. Hottinger fell at
almost the first fire. He was struck
il the shoulder.
The two robbers and murderers
then rushed into the store. counting
correctly on the utter demoralization
Of everything and everybody inside.
One Of them, the man with the Win
chester rife. sprang over the counter
and seized the till which he rifed OF
about one hundred dollars. While
this was being done the clerk and the
negro boy began to realize the des-
perate situation. The clerk undaunt
ed made for tlr. Eotting ger gun, bus
the boy being nearer. sized it and got
ready to fire.
But 50 quickly was everything
done that the two desperadoes had
left the store and were going off up
the State road, in the angle Of which
and the railway the store is situated
The colored boy with the gun came
out and fred, and the retreating rob
bers returned the fire. In this last
melee colored man named Marcus
jenkins was killed. He was on the
platform near the Berkeley phos-
plate mills and was shot through the
head. The likelihood is that the ne
gro with the Winchester rife fired
while running backwards and the
ball took a wide range to the west,
hitting the man jenkins as stated.
Besides Jenkins there was near on
the platform of the Berkeley mills a
colored man named Thomas Williams.
He was also hit by bail on the
right leg:

EtCTHC DEATH LEGAL.
Decis.n Of the Supreme Court ia KeRn.-

Decis.n Of the Supreme Court iu KeRn.-
lc. s Case The Lower Court Sustained.
WAsm Se7oS, 3. c., May 23.-The
Supreme Court OF the United States
today denied the application for a
writ Of error III the case OF Kemmlcr,
under sentence OF death by electrici-
ty; opinion by Chief Justice Fuller.
The opinion first rccites the pro
ceedings in the lower courts leading
up to the bringing Of the case to this
court The court says that it's urs-
ed in Kemmlers behalf that the
fourteenth amendment is a prohibi
ton on the State OF the imposition Of
cual and unusual punishment, this
being included in the term ''due pro-
cess CT law" The origin of the
phrase, "crucl and unusual punish
ment, TIE court says, was the En-
ghsh act Of settlement Of 1893 and
meant that bar5arous methods OF
punishment should not be inflicted.
It meant that a man should not be
sentenced to death by torture, but
did not mean the death penalty it.
self was cruel. The court OF appeals,
the opinion says, held that the push
ment inflicted On kemmler was unu-
sual but there Was 10 evidence to
show that it was cruel. The Legis-
lature Of New York had the facts
bearing upon this question and the
court must presume that the Legis-
latrrs fixed O. punishment it thought
lesscruel than the formermode. That
decision, the court says, was not
against any special privilege set up
by the prisoner and was SO plainly
hight that the court would not be
justified in overruling it. The four
teenth amendment did not materially
change the whole theory Of the gov
ernment. Citizenc still remain citi-
zens both Of the State and OF the
United States. The only change is
that the amendment furnishes an addl
tional guarantee against encroach-
ment by the State upon the funda-
mental rights Of the citizens Of the
United States, are, indeed, protected
by them. Those are privileges aris-
ing out of the essential nature and
character OF the National Govern
ment. The court quotes the opinion
in the Hrutado case On the meaning
Of the phrase due process of law.
The change in the form Of death was
in the legitimate sphere Of the leslt-
innate power Of the State. The Leg
islature of the State Of New York
determined that it did not infict cru
el and unusual punishment and its
courts have sustained that deternl-
nation.
This court cannot sec that the
prisoner has been deprived Ct due
process Of law. In order to reverse
the Judgment this court should be
compelled to hold that the Court OF
Appeals had committed an error so
| gross at to deprive the prisoner OF his
| constitutional rights. The court has
10 hesitancy in saying it cannot do

I know just what solt .. q man ha

thirdly, he was an industrious man;
and. fourthly, he was a married man.

says about him: it says he was o GER

FIRST sTEpsIE a DIFFICULT ROAD

You see that in those two words
the child acquired the sound of NJ, P
and A, and when she got those
sounds OF course she could say
great many other words containing
that combination of letters. In that
same lesson she was given the words
is and it, which gave her the sound
Of short I, S and T, and with that
combination she could make any
word with that combination of let
ters. The more words she learned
the greater fuency she acquired.
Helen. who viii be ten years old

eleven times. yet she has now COM
mand Of language rare in child Of
twelve. She has not the slightest
perception of light OF sound, being
totally deaf and blind. But the
acuteness OF her remaining senses,
and especially that Of touch and feel
ing generally, has been brought to
perfection by constant exercise.
While the reporter was talking
Helen came bounding into the room.
Physically and mentally she is no
way behind the children of her years.
She is wonderfully pretty and has a

symmetrical and her figure wonder
fully graceful. Her tones are, to be
sure. a ttritie cultural and there is a
slight pause between each word, but
the tone IS not especially disagreea-
bic, and the cnlnciation is sufficient
" distinct to enable one TO under
stand what she is saying.

voice sweet. I am going home in

Helen Keller, deaf, dumb and
blind girl from Tuscumbia, Ala,
whose remarkable mental develop
ment in the face Of tremendous
handicaps imposed OF her by.nature
has been the theme Of much delight
ed comment, has within the last six
weeks been taught to speak intelligi-
bly,. This is the only authenticated
case of the kind that has ever been
known in the world. The quicE1ess
with which Helen has always imbib-
cd knowledge seemed o little less
than q miracle. In one year she ac-
quired q vocabulary Of 1900 words,
the average vocabulary being from
l,200 to 1.a00 words. even Of those
who cannot see. Her great efforts
to make herself understood and her
disooEagement al failure convinced
her rel latives that q tremendous in
tellectual force must be locked up
within her, for which an outlet must
be found or the child would die.
Her family consulted with Mr.. Anog-
nos Of the Perkins Institution for the
Blind, and he sent to them as a teach
er Tor the child Miss Anna NJ. Sulli-
van, who has continued her teacher
and constant companion ever
since.
