Four Found Burned In Their House.

News reached here yesterday from the
extreme upper end of Greenville County
of the death there by burning of E. W.
Henesley, his wife, grown daughter and
q Bon IL years old.
They were white people and tenants on
the place of William Hart, just under
the shadow Of CLASSY rock, in CLASSY
Mountain Township, six miles above
Gowensville and about thirty miles from
Greenville. They occupied small farm
tenement building. Nothing is known
here of the circumstances of their deaths
except that their house was evidently
burned some time Sunday night. 1t was
found in ashes Monday morning aud
search discovered the four bodies partly
consumed but easily identified.
Very little can be learned here of the
unfortunate family. They seem to have
been poor and very quiet people as per-
sons who lived at GownesVille had never
heard of them and the county officials,
and especially the auditor, who are sup
posed to know every voter and tax payer,
remember nothing of them. Mr.. Renes.
ley is thought to have been an old mau.
He returned for taxes only $50 of per-
sonal property and no real estate.
The appearance of the ruins of the
houee and all the circumstances seem to
indicate accidental burning and death.
1t is hard to understand, however, how
four persons could have been burned
without being aroused and there would
have been no trouble in escaping from 80
small building. There is good deal
of blockading done in that part of the
county and 1t was suggested here that the
people might have been the victims of
moonshiner vengeance. Careful enquiry
here, however, shows that Mr.. Henesley
was not known to the revenue officials
and could not have been either block
ader or reporter or guide. He. proba-
bly, came to the city very rarely.
Aside from blockading and an occa-
sienal family feud which is fought out
by the people concerned it is a very
quiet and orderly country up there and
there is no probability that there was any
outrage or robbery. Trial Justice Dill
was at work yesterday summoning jury
to hold an inquest but the facts learned
here indicate that there will be no devel
opments beyond the indications of sud
den accident and the unfortunate family
being caught by the fire while sound

4 Farmer Lynched.

P1cKESs, MISS, April 10.-J. jeff
coats, farmer living eight miles west Of
Pickens, was lynched last night by a
mob for killing his wife. Saturday Jeff.
coats went to the residence of neighbor,
named Allison, and told a narrowing
story about how some unknown person
had assaulted and fatally injured his
wife with an ak. The alarm was given
by Allison and an investigation of the
neighbors soon fastened the crime on
Jeffcoats, who confessed.
When the news of the crime spread
over the County yesterday, hundreds OF
farmers focked to the scene. The excite
ment became intense and a number OF
them wanted to burn Jefcoats at the stake,
but this idea was abandoned and the
covering wretch was dragged to hick-
ory tree and jerked into space. The body
was then riddled with bullets.

How to Get Good Roads.

There is something wrong in the
whole road system.
1t would be better to reverse things
and put the roads in good condition for
winter. As 8 general thing, highways
somehow put themselves in good condi
ton during the summer and as matter
of fact, the bulk of baulipg is not done in
summer when they are comparatively
good, but in winter when they are super
latively bad.
There must be some remedy for this
condition of affairs. Has the Alliance
ever taken any action on the question OF
better roads? What better work could
this organization take in hand If the
Alliance is worth anything to the farmer
and farming interests, it should give its
attention to those subjects which are of
special interest 10 agriculture
Pass words, grips, ritual recitations and
social lodge meetings are very valuable
in cultivatiDg friendly relations between
neighbors and removing ruts in neigh
borIy intercourse. but they will never
move ruts and rocks from the public
highway.
1t is asking the farmer little too
much to insist upon his leaving the plow
in the furrow to 60 out in The highways
and hedges with pick and shovel, when
his rake and hoe are rotting In the field
and the season when be can plow, rake
and hoe is swiftly passing out of his
reach.
The intelligent men who compose the
Alliance in this State should take this
road question into their lodges, take it
into their politics, weave and warp it
into their ballots and demand at least
respectful consideration by the powers
that be. 1t is q matter which concerns
farmers and town people alike.
The time and money spent in working
up the sub treasury folly would have Sc
cured legislation in South Carolina sufi-
cient at least to have started a system of
road improvements.
It is not too late to get in some good
work in this direction, and every farmer,
every merchant, every business man
should give thought to the subject and
be prepared 10 aid in exciting an interest
in improved highways Greenvile NeaOs

Prayer. TO God.

Religious life begins in prayer. 1t is
the first step taken by q man whe feels
his need and would come to Him that
diligently seek Him. 1t is the first re-.
ligious lesson taught by Christian moths
ers to their little ones. Before it is un.
derstood the child learns to bow the knee,
fold the hands, lift the eyes and lisp the
petitions.
Although it is the beginning Of relig-
ion, it is one of the highest efforts of hu-
man beings. To pray is to hold audience
with God. The suppliant asks God to
listen to his words, and Gods ear is in
clined to hear. 1t is a wonderous event,
priceless privilege, most sacred act.
A mans heart beats oppressively when
permitted to petition judge, governor,
president, king. Yet the same man prays
to God without hequickening OF a pulse
beat. The privilege of entering the Ho'
ly of Holes often inspires no reverence,
no awe. Prayer has become thing so
common that its sacredness is realized
but little.
Surely this failure to realize what
prayer is must be wonder to the angels
before the throne. They veiltheir faces
as they cry, holy, holy, holy is the Lord
of Hosts. When they zee sinner talk.
ing to Him who cannot bear to look upon
sio, when they hear saint call Him
"Our Father which art in heaven" it
must be one of the things they desire to
look into.
It would be we'll If sinners and saints
preserved proper sense of the sacred
ness of prayer. Not to embarrass, not to
hinder freeness of approach and asking
but to make approach and asking real,
genuine, heartfelt, reverent. 1t is beau
tiful to behold man on such terms with
God that he pours out all his heart-but
it should be done reverently, deVoutly,
and with tilial fear. The very voice
should betoken awe.
To do this there should be before the
praying at least a moments thought of
its nature. II am coming to the King of
Kings" in the name of His crucifed Son,
should be remembered. 1t would help
to that preparation of heart and answer
of tongue that comes from the Holy
Spirit-Southern Christian Advocate.
