DAVE SHAW'S STORY.
A "Murdered', Man Tells How n
Came About.

GREGNvILLE, S. C.-The fate of Dave
Shaw is no longer mystery. Shaw slip
ped quietly into the city, with two friends.
to seek the advice of G.. L. Dill, his attor-
ncy, and not half dozen persons, includ-
ing those who accompanied him, knew OF
his presence.
Shaw told the story OF the cventful
night Of May 27th. He was seized by a
mob of fifty mcp, many Of them of prom
incnce and influence, and was taken into
the woods and rope put around his neck
to frighten him into confession. He
was drawn up TO limb number of
times, and lost consciousness. When he
regained consciousness he was pulled up
a number of times by the thumbs, and
later was tied to tree and numerically
beaten with leather trace. Still he
made no confession, and the mob started
to lake on Reedy river, telling him
they would drown him. They lit Ian
tern and gave it to him to carry with him
through the woods.
The mob had dwindied considerably,
and when deep gully was reached Shaw
threw the lantern into it and ran. He
was familiar with the surroundings, and
escaped. not one of shower of bullets
hitting him.
lie stayed in swamp two days, and
then went to Bclton and to Toccoa, Ga,
where he remained until last week, wher
he retained. lie has since been staying
with relative, twenty-four miles bel oW
here, in this county. He d"cs not wan
even to go to Laureus Jail, as he fears ht
will be killed. 1t is not known what his
friends wall advise him to do.

everything within reach. The banners
designating the locations Of the various
delegations were lifted high in the air, a
portrait of George Washington being at
tached tn the one of Virginia, and several
OF the banners were carried to the plat
form and uplifted over the chairman s
head. Meanwhile every one of the 10, 900
souls in the great coliseum shouted and
roared and checred, and hundreds ofo ther-
wise cool-headed delegates, seized with
frenzy, stripped themselves of coats, and
in some cases their vests, so that their
limbs would be more free. As if by magic
hundreds of stars and stripes made their
appearance all over the hall, while one of
| immense size was borne up to the plat
| form and waved in triumph above all. A
towering Georgian actually climbed on top
| OF the table. The band struck up the "Star
Spangled Banner" but the din was so over
powering that even the big bass drum
would not penetrate it.
When the demonstration had been 90
ing on for fifteen minutes the chairmen
of the various State delegations took pos
session of the State banners and headed
by fife and drum band proceeded to
march around the hall, making the com.
plete circuit a half dozen times over. On
the second round an American flag was
attached to every banner, and the howls
aud cheers took fresh start, the women
this time bearing their share. Numerous
notices were resurrected from the ante
room and sandwiched in between the
banners. One read, "What is home with
out a mortgage?" Another 1.-The people
will be damned no longer" White haired,
feeble men tOttered around with flag on
each shoulder; fathers lifted their little
ones, pickapack, and put flag in their
hands. a mother wrapped her babe of
four months in a silk flag, and followed
in line. Somebody found tin pail and
it was hoisted upon the Texas banner, a
reminder of the Gresham tinpail cam
paign in Chicago in 1888. One of the
Mississippi delegates hoisted brawny
dar key on his shoulders, and carried him
up to the speaker . stun1ay -4hA-ssl-
ored man and brother waved the stars and
stripes in one hand and picture of Gresh
am in the other.
The band, ,marshalling its forces in front
of the platform, started the familiar strain
of Yankee Doodle" alternating to
Dixie" and the throug giving its throat
vent kept time with its thousands of hands
and feet. 1t was demonstration that
entirely eclipsed the memorable Blaine
furor at Minneapolis in point of en,husi-
asm, noise and striking situations as well
as in point of the number of those partici-
pating.
The convention then adjourned to 8
O'Clock p. III.
AT the evening convention, ON the first
ballot, Weaver was nominated for Presi-
dent.

The Southern States should encourage
white immigration. They can get it in
big volume right straight along. Millions
of white people can be drawn TO the
Sou'hcrn States. The Southern fie' dis and

be enriched by immigration, and immi-

A Mayor Arrested for Fast Driving

AsnEvILLE, N. CA warrant was
sworn out Friday for the arrest of Mayor
G d. Blanton, for violating the ordi-
nance against fast driving. The mayor
has fine horse, and wishing to try his
speed, it is said, ordered the policemen
to clear South Main street This was
done and the mayor then put his driver
in the buggy and had him drive through
the street. The gait at which the horse
was driven was so plainly in violation OF
the law that Thos. A. Jones, lawyer,
swore out warrant for Mayor Blanton's
arrest. The ctffai;f has caused a sensation,
as such thing has probably never before
been known here.

ton for the nomination. 1 make this an
nouncement in due season. To those who
have rendered me their support owe sim
cere thanks and am most grateful for their
confidence. They will, am sure, make
earnest effort in the approaching contest,
which is rendered specially important by
reason of the industrial and finan cial poll

The popular decision on these issues is of
great moment and will be of far-reaching
consequence. Very sincerely yours,

The announcement that the secretary
had written the letter withdrawing him
self from the field of candidates created
much excitement, notwithstanding the
probability of its utterance had been dis
cussed for the past forty-eight hours with
discounted to some extent. Secretary Fos-
ter was seen by u reporter and asked for
his opinion of the effect of the letter. He
said he had been anticipating its appear

said he, "a month or more, certainly it has
been known among the Republican polit'-
clans, and was becoming generally known
among the people, that Secretary Blaine
would not be a candidate, Some of them
are for Harrison, and some for others, sbut
the great mass are for the president, and he
will be renominated."
Secretary Tracy said: II am not sur
prised. have been expecting such let
ter for some time. 1t points to Harrison's
denomination and reelection"
Mr.. Tracy would not say that Mr..
Blaine's health had anything to do with
the present letter, nor would he make an
swer to the query. "Was not Blaine now
