Mecca Killed Nine Men,

ROCKINGHAM, N. c., April 16.-This
morning rather startling story comes
to light about John b. Mecca, the Ital-
ian storekeeper, who was murdered in
Charlotte Saturday night. The story
was told by DR.. j. D.. W~estervelt, Jr.,
of Gaffney City.
Mecca lived there for several years,
and consequently DR.. Westervelt knew
him well some years ago. Mecca told
him-in fact, he made no secret of it
the reason he came to America was be-
cause his hands were stained with the
blood Of nine of his countrymen, ard he
came to America to seek rest and quiet
ness.
Mecca said that twelve years ago he
was a merchant in Italy, and late one
night, when the streets were almost de-
serted, ten men came in his store to rob
him. He defended himself with his still
letto, and killed nine of them in the
room, where they attacked him, the tenth
n fortunately escaping.
Mecca said that the sight of nine dead
bodies lying in blood upon one floor was
such q horrible sight although he killed
them to save himself it was ever before
him. There was NJ case made against
him and public sentiment generally en-
dorsed and applauded him for Kidding
the country of the murderous thugs, but
he closed out his business as early as pos
Sible and left the scene.

Officers Scalded.

UNIoNTowN, PA, April 16.-Sherif
Mccormick and his handful of deputies
clashed with the strikers at Tortter
works near Councils Vile this afternoon
and a riot ensued. He arrived there
about noon and began the work of
eviction. He had put out several
families without encountering any
resistance, until he came to the house
of a Giant polander named Fred Strou-
sack, which he attempted to enter to
carry out the furniture. SJrousack
rushed forward, but was thrust aside.
Then the women Of the household
rushed on The officer. One seized a tea
kettle, and, pouring some boiling water
into a pan threw 1T in the officers face.
Others struck at him with whatever
they could reach.
The excitement meanwhile had
spread to the crowd outside, which
numbered fully 200. They attacked the
deputies at the door with stones, and
several Of the deputies were struck.

Governor Hogg Very Mad

AUSTIN, TEXAS, April 17.-Bad blood
has generated between Governor Hogg
and several members Of the Legislature.
tits all because the Governor went home
to Tyler to vote last Monday, instead of
voting at the Capital.
Yesterday afternoon a resolution was
passed, with a preamble setting forth
that the Constitution requires the Gov
ernor to reside at the Capital during the
session of the Legislature; that this
made the Governor a legal resident of
Austin at the late election; that, instead
of voting here, he voted at Tyler, and
he was therefore subject to prosecution
for illegal voting. The resolution itself
is as follows:
'"That his Excellency, Governor Jas.
Stephen HOgg, be and is hereby author
lied to reside at the city of Tyler during
the term of his Office, and his said resi-
dence there shall begin and date from
the 9th day of January, 1891, and that
his residence at said place be, and the
same is hereby validated from the said
9th day of January, 1891, and that this
resolution take immediate effect"
This was meant to be insulting, and
Is SO considered by the Governor. He
has notified Senator Johnson, who wrote
the resolution, and Senator Harrison,
who introduced it, that he "holds them
personally responsible" The interven-
ton OF friends only prevented a person

ally believed that there will yet be seri-

Much Ado About Nothing.

LAURENs, April Ex-senator Irby's
irritation at the Invitation extended by
Prof Evans TO Col Haskell to make a
literary address before his school in June
has not been previously mentioned in
this correspondence because it was
thought that subject might injure
Laurens's chances for getting the girls
industrial school.
In q conversation this morning Col
Irby stated to me that his sympathies
had been enlisted with the town to get
the industrial school and that he had In
tended to work for it; that the town had
asked him to use his influence and that
he was doing 80. but, feeling that the
town endorsed the action Of Mr.. Evans,
he had given notice that he had with
drawn his influence and would have
nothing more to do with it. He further
said that he does not intend to fight the
efforts to get the school, and that all
differences between the town and him
self i'll regard to the matter had been
healed, declining, however, to state the
grounds of the treaty.
1t Is presumed, therefore, that Senator
Irby will work with the citizens generally
to get the school loo ited here.
While politics will of course be en-
Iirely ignored, Col. Haskell has hosts of
friends who will give him an enthusiastic
welcome when he comes to Laurcns.-

CENSUS
Growth OF Urban Population Shown by
Decades.

Growth OF Urban Population Shown by
WASHINGTON, April 1G.-The Gem
sus Office has issued a bulletin giving
the population of cities in the country
containing 5000 inhabitants or more.
The total urban population IN 1890 was
lS,235,670 or 1912 per cent. of the total
population. In 1880 the urban popula-
ton was 11,318, 547 or 22.57 per cent.
OF whole. The proportion ofurban popu.
lation has increased gradually during
the past century from 1856 up to 1912
per cent, or from n thirteenth up to
nearly one-third of the total population.
The Increase has been quite regular
from the beginning upto 1880, while from
1880 to 1890 it has mads a leap from &c.
81 to 29.l2 per cent. This illustrates
in a fOrcible manner the actual tendency
OF ou population toward urban life. The
number of cities having a population of
moro than 5000 inhabitants have in
creased from six in 100 to 286 in 1880,
whence it has leaped to 443 In 1890. In
1880 there was but one city, New York,
which had a population in excess of L.
600, 900. In 1890 there were three,
New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
In 1870 there were but fourt cen cities,
each containing more than 100, 900 in
h%abitants. In 1880, this number has In
creased to twenty and In 1890 to twenty
eight. The North Atlantic division
contains nearly once-half Of the urban
population Of the country, while the
North Atlantic and North Central
divisions, together contain nearly five.
sixths of it. In the South Atlantic and
South Central divisions the proportion
Of urban population is comparatively
small, being in the first named but 16.-
Oh per cent of the entire population or
less than one-siNth and the second but
lO.45 per cent.-the proportion of urban
to the total population in all the South
crn States being less than 13 ,.er cent.
The industries of these States are manly
agriculture, and while manufacturing and
mining are making some progress, til ey
are still in their Infancy. In 1880 the
urban element numbeaed 1Gl COS, and
constituted less than 10 per cent. of the
population. In 1890 itnumbered 2.567,-

while the total population had increased

Opposition to Hills appointment Una
bated Threats OF L%ynching.
JACKSON, Miss, April 1G.-The con-
ference of prominent citizens of Vicks-
burg and Jim Hills, the recently APP
pointed colored postmaster of Vicksburg,
did not take place today as expected.
Hill asked for such u conference, hoping
that some arrangement could be made.
and expected the committee 20 meet him
here today. From prominent citizens
of Vlcksburg it is learned that it was not
deemed advisable to hold such a con-
ference, as nothing could come of it, and
that the only thing to do under the cir
cumstances was to let affairs take the
regular course. Many prominent peo-
pie of V%icksburg regret the unfortunate
condition things have assumed, but could
not, with the deep feeling of the D
lace, guarantee that Hill would not be
harmed IN case he undertook to take
charge of the office. On the contrary,
great fear was expressed that he would
be. Hill was seen today by a United
Press reporter, and asked what he in
tented to do about the matter. He re.
piled that he did not know, but felt dis
appointed that the conference meeting
he asked for had not been held, and
could not understand why his commune
cation had not been answered. He still
has hopes Of such q meeting, and thinks
all differences could be reconciled in
some manner satisfactory to all parties.
He said he had no desire to thrust HIM
self upon the public of Vicksburg against
their protest, but believed many of the
best citizens there thought the only prop
er thing now was q peaceable submis-
sion. He said he had no desire to call
on the United States Government for
protection and sincerely hoped that a re-
sort to such measures would not be nee
esaary. Mayor Booth, of Vicksburg,
called on Governor Stone today and per-
sonally acknowledged receipt of the
Governors letter counselling modera.
tion on the part of citizens, advising
against extreme measure of any kind
being resorted to, and suggesting a COM
mittee of the cooler heads to talk the
matter over with Hill. 1t was reported
that Booth would present the Governor
a petition TO sign asking Hill to resign,
butt is not thought he did 80 or that the
Governor had anything new to add to
his letter. .
