Murder and Lynching.

New ORLEANS, April 28.-The Times
Democrats Yicksburg, Miss, special
says: The details have just been received
here of murder and lynching at plan
tation store in Pointe Conpee Parish, La,
owned by wealthy planter named Cot
ton.
The latter was in his store alone when
the tramp entered, and asked for pistol
and cartridges. Being told that there was
none in the stock, he said he would buy
the cartridges in the proprietor's pistol,
to which Cotton replied that he never
went armed. The tramp then asked for
dice, and being handed some, threw them
and claimed $25 from Cotton. This being
refused him, he drew his pistol, and with
many threats ordered Cotton to give him
$1OO.
The plantation manager and several
negroes came in at this juncture, but be-
ing unarmed, could do nothing, and the
manager left the store to get assistance.
The negroes fed, and as they did so the
robber emptied his pistol, mortally
wounding Cotton, who lived only few
minutes. The tramp then robbed the till
of $500, and was about 10 leave when the
manager returned with help and over
powered him. Cotton had expired In the
meantime.
Swift vengeance was meted out to the
murderer. The assembled crowd, white
and black, escorted him to the nearest
tree and strung him up. He died with
curses on his lips, and declaring that his
brothers living in Franklin, Miss, would
avenge his death. Some Of the lynchers
pulled his foot and cut short his maledic-
tions by breaking his neck.

The LfghtwOod Exploded.

LEXINGTON, GA, April 28.-Mr. w. D.
Gaulding, one Of the County's best citi-
zens, living few miles above Crawford,
narrowly escaped tragic death and came
near being burned to death a few days ago.
A charge of blasting powder was the
cause, and there are some unusual facts
connected with the incident. Fifteen
years ago Mr.. Gaulding cleared up
piece of pine woods near his house. One
tree he had cut around refused 10 die.
BE was having some blasting done at tho
time and he conceived the idea of boring
hole in the tree, filling it with powder
and killing 1t in that way. The hole was
bored into the heart of the tree, double
handful of blasting powder and a fuse put
therein and peg driven tightly down on
blast refused To go off. The project was
abandoned and soon forgotten.
A few days ago Mr.. Gaulding was plow-
ing in that same field and came across O
piece Of fat lightwood. He laid IT. on one
side and when he quit work that evening
carried it to the house and put it on the
fire. By the time he had got seated before
the blaze there was terrific explosion.
A kettle that was on the fire came whiz-
zing by his head, pair Of andirons,
weighing five pounds each, were thrown
across the room, and Goals, ashes and
pieces Of wood went flying all over the
house. The whole household was shock
ed and startled. Mr.. Gaulding yelled
murder fire! etc. He pinched himself
to find out whether he was living or not.
He felt his life blood oozing ont of his
face and head-but it proved to be warm
water which was spilled from tho kettle
as it went by him. There was consterna-
ton and excitement which took some
minutes to allay.
Mr.. Gaulding thought some would-he
assassin had shot at him. Then he
thought some demon had dropped bomb
down his chimney. Divers attempts
were made to find out what the explosion
was, what caused 1t, and what was its
purposes. Not until the next day did the
long-forgotten attempt to kill the tree
come back into Mr.. Gaulding's mind.
That solved the problem, and Uncle Bill
has ceased to dream of assassins. bombs
and such like. He made narrow escape
from being seriously injured, however.

Could not Break His Neck.

NEW ORLEANS, April 26.-A Picavunes
Harrison, Miss, special says:
A negro paid the penalty, but still lives.
Coleman stands without rival for the
strength Of his neck. On March 20 he
was hanged for wife murder at Fayette,
and is reported to-day able 10 walk
around his room and converse with his
friends.
After hanging for thirty-six minutes
and being pronounced dead by three of
the local physicians, his supposed remains
were turned over for interment to rela-
tives who reside in Franklin County, a
distance of thirty-tive miles overland.
While en- route to the family burying
ground q scratching on the inside of the
coffin was heard.
The top of the coffin was removed and
the supposed corpse was found to be
breathing. A local physician was at
once summoned, and after treatment the
patient was pronounced out of danger.
He was hanged by a new system and was
jerked up fully six feet with three-foot
drop.

1lllman and the Cotton Mills,

II there ever was period when truth
utterly fails, it is during partisan cam
paign. There is no use in correcting or
appealing 10 those who make misrepre-
sentations for they believe that success is
better attained in that way. In his
Greenville speech Governor Tillman at
tackled the coton factories and all con-
connected with or dependent on them
because the mills bought a bale of cotton
for $500 and sold the manufactured pro-
ducts for $1,000. He held that up as
great injustice to the people who make
the cotton ind operate the mills, for they
get none Of the benefits.
Consider how false and misleading
such teaching is. A few years ago the
price Of cotton at Spartanburg was regu-
lated by the New York price. being
about Is cents below that market. Since
the establishment of factories here the
price received by farmers for cotton Is
sometimes up to the price paid in New
York. 1t is safe to state that our farmers,
more for cotton than they would do, if
there were no mills here.
In this county there are about 5000
people Or more living about these mills
who buy the surplus provisions from
the farmers, thus paying out thousands
of dollars every year. If there were no
cotton mills here country produce would
fall off about 80 per cent in price. When
Governor Tillman, or anyone else asserts
that the farmer and the truck farmer
gets no benefit from the factories he
makes mistake knowingly and inten-
tionally.
But the great crime the factories COM
NIT is to buy o bale Of cotton for $500
and sell it for $1,000. See how that wolk ks.
A cotton mill spinning 10000 bales of cot
ton would have to invest about $500.000
They buy 10000 bales of cotton to keep
them running through the year. That
cotton will cost $3.50, 900. The interest
on the original stock and the price paid
for cotton, and the insurance on the
buildings have 10 be paid. Then to run
q factory of that size, a population Of
1900 is necessary. They do not all work
in the factory, but they have to live from
il. When these 1900 persons, pay their
bills tor food, clothing, doctors bills and
all other expenses it makes big hole in
the $3.50, 900 Of value added to the raw
material by manufacturing it. These
cotton mills have proved blessing to
those who raise the cotton, to the opera
tives and their families, to the shopkeep-
every one who has surplus vegetables,
milk, butter, fowls or farm produce to
sell. Itwould be better for the people
if we had mills that would make finer
material so that the $500 bale Of cotton
ceuld be sold for $4,000. Nearly all the
cost above the price Of raw material
would be distributed amongst the opera
tfves who manufacture il and the farm
era who feed them.
Let not the mill operatives, or the farm
ars of Spartanburg listen to the fallacies
Of those who would teach them that cot
ton mills are grinding monopolies that
oppress the people. When man talks
that way he is grossly ignorant or mali
ciously false.-SpartanbN7,g Spartan.

the Kelley fund, which will be loaned on
the recommendation of special commit
tee, to any worthy party addicted to the

himself under the Kelley treatment. A
sum nearly sufficient to defray the expel-

raised by popular subscription, and it is

EDITORS .INTELLIaENCER:-I noticed
in the Peoples Ad0ocGte Of this week an
article headed, "Notes from Neal" over
the signature "Small Farmer" in which
some things are said which call for criti-
cism. The writer of the article in ques-
ton devotes four lines to the news Of the
vicinity while fifty lines of his "Notes
from Neal" are devoted to heaping abuse
on the head of a true and honorable law
abiding citizen. Was not the article i'm
properly headed? Would it not have
been more in keeping with the spirit Of
this production to have labeled it, "Abuse
of the Rev. D. Weston Hiott?" Has Rev.
D. Weston Hiott over injured anyone
connected with Meals Creek Church or
tho community in which it Is located?
Let us see-some six or eight years ago
the congregation at Meals Creek Church
(about halfa mile from NeaD became so
reduced in numbers and its financial
condition so weakened that it was feared
that the Church would have to disband.
In this emergency, Rev. D. Weston
Hiott was scaled" and took charge Of
resident of that section at that time, he
cannot but remember the noble self
sacrificing efforts made in the behalf Of
Meals Creek Church and vicinity by the
man he so shamefully malignes. Flo
cannot but remember the many deeds OF
kindness and christian services so cheer
fully rendered by this devout man Of
God during the several years he labored
ut Meals Greek Church. Mr.. Editor, I
know this community as we'll as any
man living. I know the noble work
done in our midst by Mr.. Hiott, and to
hear hina thus, so uDjustly, ridiculed by
one claiming to speak for Neal, am
forcibly reminded of the fable Of the
"larlner and the frozen snake" which is
q complete picture of an migrate. What
was "Small Farmers" position two years
sgo9 Did he denounce Rev. J. R. Earle
for "going into politics ?" If not why
not2 Was it because his life had been
pure and his record more honorable than
chat Of Rev. D. Weston Hiott? trow
not: Consistency thou art ajewel." If
politics in our State has become 30 cor
tiff we have reached that point when
right TO have q voice in our political
affairs, then we are in a dangerous condi-
ton and say "God help the mark" Who
is to blame for this condition of our
moral atmosphere, anyway? Are such
men as Il. r. Tillman and Jasper Talbert,
whose speeches uttered in the presence
of our pure and noble women, largely to
blame for it. How long are men who
profess to follow the meek and lowly
Jesus, and whose lives are living exam
pies OF this Faith, to be held up to soorn
and abuse, while men who openly pro-
fame that "Holy Name" are held up a.
models7 2 ! have no idea who wrote the
article In question, but T ask hina to
remember that "When the wicked reign
the people mourn" and also "when the
righteous rule the earth rejoiceth."

The st. Louis Republic recently sent
out circulars throughout four States Of
the cotton belt for the purpose of gaining
information regarding the next cotton
crop. The circulars are not sent broad
cast throughout the cotton belt, but to
parties whose knowledge would be relied
upon as accurate and full and in no case
misleading. In reply to these circulars
the Republic publishes reports from
about eighty Counties, all showing bad
weather and decrease in acreage. There
is one exception, that being furnished by
CleDurn county, in Arkansas, which re-
ports an increase of 10 acres in the
amount planted. Every other County
reports large decrease. and every County,
with the exception Of two, reports worse
cotton weather than this time last year.
The grand result is that out of more than
5000 plantations reported in the returns
from Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee there is decrease in acreage
of more than 10000 acres, which is an aY-
erage decrease of about 80 per cent. from
their crops of last year.
