Phosphate in Florida.

A rich vein of phosphate has re-
Gently been discovered in Florida.
The best informed Floridians say the
vein is from four to twelve miles
wide and one hundred and sixty
miles long, extending through the
Counties Of Alachua, Levy, Marion,
Citrus, fernando, Pasco, IIillsboro,
Polk and DcSoto. 1t is claimed
that the analysis gives percentage
ranging all the way from GO to 80
per cent. pure phosphate. The cx-
citcmcnt over the discovery is run
ming very high, and large crowds of
people from different parts of the
South are visiting the bcds-includ-
ing many of the fertilizer manufac-
turcrs of this State. Several com
panies with an aggregate capital of
over $2,OO0,000, arc cing formed for
the manufacture OF tie phosphate at
an early day. The phosphate bed
of the South are another source of
wealth that will greatly aid in the
rapid development Of this highly
favored land.

Talhalla Is Wide Awake.

&
SUCCESS OF TIE GRAPE GROWERS
AND FRUIT DIsTILLING AssoCIA-
TIoN-THE NEW NORMAN PARK no
TEL.
Correspondence of ThcDaily News.1
WALnALLA, S. c., January H.
Walhalla is on the wake up. Her
citizens are beginning to bend every
effort to the up building of the town
and the effort combined with the ex-
traordinary natural advantages
which the town undoubtedly pos
sesses, can not fail of the accomplish
ment of their purpose.
Among the successful enterprises
launched during the past year by
the citizens of the place is the exten-
sivc works of tho "Oconce Grape
Growers and Fruit Distilling Asso-
ciation." This company, formed by
the larger grape and fruit growers Of
this section, has for its object the
Improvement of those industries for
the mutual benefit of it's members.
Nearly every vineyard around Wal
halla is represented among the share
holders. During the past year the
association has bought a valuable lot
within the. city limits and OH this
have erected their works for the man
ufacturc Of wines and brandics.
The work of the season, although it
shows up well is only an index to
what will be accomplished in the
future. The output of the wine
manufactory and distillcry has been
about 5000 gallons of wine of the
finest quality and 900 gallons of
brandy. A ready market is being
found for the goods. The company
now has stock enough on hand to
pay for the property it has bought
and leave a handsome profit besides
"a good showing, indeed, for ven
ture made little over Il year ago on
II caSh capital OF little over twenty
five dollars. Walhalla is working
for settlers and Secretary Wanncr Of
the Grape Growers Association, says
he can show Monsieur Poignant on
his visit here that Oconce County
can make brandy and good wine
although they have never attempted
the manufacture of champagne.
The officers of the company are DR..
ID. b. Darby, President and G. Wa,.-
ner, Secretary.
In other respects the citizens of
the town arc very cntcrprising. The
Norman Drug Company has opened
out the Norman Park Hotel with
electric bells, baths and other modern
improvements and the new cara
vansary is already enjoying very
successful run of patronage.

Negroes In COnncil.

The negroes of the State met in
council in Columbia recently. Twcn-
ty-cight counties were represented.
They adopted the following address
and resolutions:
AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF SoI'rII
CAROLINA.
"Thricc is he armed who has his
quarrel just" We, portion OF the
representative class OF the colorcd
people of South Carolina, in meet
ing assembled, havc,m the name of all
our people, a very serious complaint
against many of the white rcprcscn-
tativc elements of this State. The
grounds of our complaints are
these:
Because Of the coveted advantages
intended to be gained, influential
leaders among the whites Of The
state have either directly or indirectly
advised or allowed to be taught
that any treatment of the negro
that would tend to impress him with
the white mans superior power in a
conflict Of force is justiliablc. From
this, irresponsible white men have
obtained the notion that there arc
no rights for the negro which a
white man, whether worthy or un-
worthy, is bound to respect, when
the observation Of these rights
is Judged by the white man as in any
way contrary to his personal views
or prcjudiccs.
2. The most potent factor in this
indiscrcct schooling consists of GER
tain daily newspapers published in
this state. The untimcly and i'll
advised agitation of the separation
of the races has not only created
general unrest among our people,
but also rather cmboldcncd the crimi-
nal classes of the whites in their
already thoroughly formed prejudice
against us.

w. W. Russell rs a Champion
Onicc.Gcttcr-The Clemson College
Case.

WASuINGToN, JANUARY l3.-The
prolonged visit of w. w. Russell,
one OF the leaders Of the Indcpcnd-
cnt faction, to this city is accounted
for by his nomination as postmaster
at Anderson Court House, which
was sent to the Senate to-day. 1t
is evident that the investigation of
his case by the poStoilicc inspectors
was favorable to him. Flushed by
his own success, Russell is now en-
dcavoring to have his father, Thos.
II. Russell, appointed Supervisor of
the Census for South Carolina. He
is opposed by M. II. Bryce, who
wants the place himself, and also
the Rev. j. E. Wilson, who is
championcd by Dcas.
The case OF Lee VS.. Simpson, in
volving the much disputed Clemson
College question, is pending before
the Supreme Court. AS it is pretty
low down on the docket the attor-
ncys will probably 90 into Court
next Monday and request that the
hearing in the case be advanced.
The Court has consented to hear ar
gumcnt in favor of advancement
next Monday.

Bloody Barnwnll.

Barnwcll has been the scene OF
another brutal murder and lynching.
About year ago William Black, a
young negro of about 20 years of
age, broke into the house of another
negro living on the place of DR.. a..
w. Bailey, near Ellonton. lie was
apprehended, brought to trial and on
arraignmemt pleaded guilty. He
served his sentence in the pcnitcn-
tiary, and arrived IN Barnwell on
last Tuesday, and was making his
way to his mothers house along the
Barnwcll Court House and Steele
Greek Road, when, arriving at Mr..
James Benefits house and observing
no one around, he stole two coats
and other articles, which were quickly
missed by the owner.
a warrant was obtained for the
arrest of Black, and he was arrested,
and whilst on the way to Barnwcll
G. H., in the custody of the law,
was taken from the constable by one
David G. Ready, who tied Black to
u tree and shot him to death. Black
remained at the place where he was
shot for two days, and when found
the buzzards were feeding on his
body.
The Charleston Ncacs and Coz
rier, speaking Of this shocking affair,
says:
\ HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
The murder Of another colorcd
man i'll Barnwell county, while he
was a prisoner in the hands Of the
officers of the law, following so
closely after the recent massacre in
the same county, is matter of the
graycst concern to the people Of
this State.
1t is not enough to dcplorc the
crime and to condemn the man or
men who committed it. The time
has passed for manifcsting the public
sentiment in that way. The whole
people of South Carolina are under
condemnation in the eyes of the
civilized world on account Of
the hcinous crimes that have been
committed with impunity by some Of
our number in recent years, and how
ever unjust we may know the scnti-
mcnt in regard to us to be, we can
not relieve ourselves from it, or from
its consequences, by prostcsting that
it is unjust, while we take no effect
i've measures for o',r vindication.
The blood of eight dcfcncclcss
men who were slaughtered by the
mob at Barnwcll Court House has
scarcely disappeared from the trees
to which they were bound when they
were shot. Yet another victim has
been cruelty slain in the same county
under even moro atrocious circum-
stances. lie was not even charged
with murder; his olfcnsc was theft
only. He was tied to tree by ont
or two men and put to death like q
dog; and his body was left to feed
the carrion birds for two days.
1t seems Incredible that this crime
was permitted in South Carolina. 1t
is incredible that it will bc'pcrmittcd
to go unpunishcd. The murderer
and companions are known. 1t is
unnecessary to multiply words about
this truly horrible affair. The time
has fully come for South Carolina to
prove to the word and to itself that
murder is not one of the recognized
institutions Of this State and accept
able to its people. Let us not mock
ourselves longer with prctcnccs and
assertions Of aw-abiding and God
fearing spirit. We must rid the
community OF the bruitS and lcnds
who dwell among us, or divide the
responsibility for their crimes with
them, and be ranked with them.
