WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81.
Nearly one hundred representa-.
tives of the bituminous coal In
terest of West Virginia, Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
crowded the room of the WAYS
and Means Committee this after.
noon.
They had gathered to urge the
committee TO retain the present
duty of 75cents a ton n-bitumin.
Gus coal, which they claimed was
but about one.half the average
rate imposed on other articles by
the present law.
The West Virginia delegation
was the largestin attendance and
headed by ex-senator Henry G..
Davis, Gov. MacCorkle and Mr..
Erskine Miller, of New River,
all of whom made addresses.
Ex-senator Davis, of West vlr.
ginia, was the first speaker. He
said if there was any change to
be made in the tariff rates on
bituminous coal, he should pre-.
fer to have them raised. He as.
serted that SO per cent. of the
value Of GOALS labor, and ifcoal
isplaced on the free list laborers
must stand a decrease in wages
aud railroad companies must get
less for transportation.
Col. Lamb, representing large
West Virginia coal interests,
said that 1900, 100000 tons Of
coal were mined in the United
States last year. which was sold
ats cents less per ton than the
consumers could possibly have
procured it if there hal been no
protectivet tariff.
Mr.. W. D. L. Walbridge repre-.
sented the Cumberland region.
He said $4,000, 600 are invested
and 10000 men are employed in
that region. The output this
year will be 3,5oo,000 tons. A
reduction of the duty would mean
the paralysis OF this industry.
GOV. M'coRKLE,
of West Virginia, said he was
not a mine owner, but the Cover
nor of State that had 10000
square miles of coal area. and is
Just in the beginning of progress.
The Governor eloquently spoke
Of the natural advantages of his
State, and made an earnest plea
for the retention of the duty on
coal. He said he wanted protec-
ton for the greatest industry of
his State.
When the Governor had finish
ed Mr.. Tarsney asked:
when were you elected Cover
nor of West virginia?'
Last November
The platform upon which
you were elected was for a reduc
aon of duties, was it not 2"
Yes SIR"
Then why are you advocating
protection ~
4 do not believe in a tariff
which gives four or five times as
nigh a protection to one industry
as another. We are great pro-
aucers of coal, and I think we
0usns 10 be protected"
Mr.. Reed told the Governor he
thoroughly agreed with him, but
ne would like to have his assist
aace in bringing the Democratic
members of the committee to the
same understanding of the ques-
aon as he (MacC orkle) seemed
!" have, Mr.. Reed said he had
u vain attempted to explain to
~, q. Democratic members the
sallacy of their position, but
with the assistance of a Demo
rsatlc governor elected on a
sSemocratic platform he might
aally accomplish his purpose.

A BEAUTIFUL STORY
Ex-Governor McKinley's Home
Life.

tiie real grandeur Oh the great
statesman. What mostimpress-
ed us was his devotion to Mrs.
Mckinley. And in this connec.
ton we publish a statement from
q lady of prominence WHO'S in
timately acquainted with the
home life of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc.
Rinley. She says
II have known Governor Nc.
Kinley and his wife for years. It
is now over twenty years since
he was first in Congress. Dur
ing many of these years Mrs.
Mckinley has been very much of
an invalid. With all the demands
on his time, and with all the hun
dreds to pull him this way and
that, never once has his first
thought not been of her.
II have lived in Washington
when his duties have been there.
They have always made the Eb-
bitt House their home.
When he went away from her
foranyctime it would be with four
or five kisses. and with the most
explicit instructions to the mad
or nurse not to leave her side
until his return.
During that anxious time
when he was drafting the famous
tariff bill he worked sixteen
hours a day, Mrs. Mckinley
was in Philadelphia under the
care Of a physician. AT the
end of the week she had had
twenty one letters and ! don't
know how many kilograms. He
wrote her then, as he always
does, when separated, three
letters a day. She received one
in the afternoon and two at the
breakfast table. While scores
Of men were lowering over and
around him and that bill he
would scratch off a few lines to
her, call a boy to mail it and go
on with the pressing business.

atelegram about every wohours.
or at every station where the
train stops long enough.
MRS. McKinley's devotion to
him is no less than his. to her.
Her face is aglow with love light
all the time.
when the financial troubles
came to Major Mckinley she
was in New York for medical
treatment. She telegraphed him
to take and use all of her proper.
ty as his own to help him out Of
the difficulties. and she started
Immediately for home. When
she arrived her friends and his
friends were there to meet her.
and to advise her not to give up
her property. They told her
that she was an invalid and must
have the necessary comforts.
II will never forget the look
that came into her face. Itwas
simply divine. She said
What Keep my property
and my husband in trouble ? 1t
is the happiest moment of my
life that can do something for
him. All these years I have
been a dead weight around his
neck. He has nursed me as no
mother has ever nursed a chill.
He has helped me to bear pain
when physicians have failed. He
has thought of me first il every
thing, and do you think now that
u would hold anything back ?
Not one cent. He must use it.
He can always take care of me,
and am so happy to do some
thing for him.
She is as grand in her woman
hood as he is in his manhood.
Every onewho knows them know
of their ideal life. They have
had sorrows. which they have
shared together, but their love
for each other makes tEis earth
heaven for Them

MURDER, THEN LYNCHING.
HORRIBLE AFFAIR REPORTED FROM
EARLY COUNTY.
A Burly Negro Kills White Boy, For
Which He is Hanged to a Tree by the
Roadside

w men is ranged 10 a Tree Dy the
Roadside.
Says a special to the Atlanta Journal,
Tip Cato, white man about twenty
years old, and negro boy about seven
teen years old, named Warren Ross, We're
hoeing potatoes for RUDE Winder, just
over in Early county, last Thursday
morning, when in somesmanner, in bet
with the boy, Warren Ross, won Ross
knife, and Ross demanded the return of
the knife, which Cato refused to give up,
saying he had won it fairly. Ross told
Cato he would have i. back before din
ner. Afterwards Cato got ahead of
Ross, when, in moment of hellishness,
Ross struck Cato blow on the back of
his head, crushing his skull, and after
seeing what he had done left for his
mothers, abouta mile distant, and after
reaching there told negro who worked
on Bryant Phillips plantation what he
had done
The negro hurried to Mr.. Widner and
reported the matter at once. They re-
paired to the field where they had been
at work and found Cato PROSTATE and
insensible. A doctor was hurredIy sum-
moned and reached him in a short time,
but could do nothing, and just before
night Cato rallied little and was able
to give an account of the affair and eX-
pred. Parties Immediately after Cato
was found, which was about II a. M,
began searching for the negro Ross, and
next morning at sunrise he was captured
about fifteen miles from where the crime
was committed, and about shutdown the
negro Ross was turned over to Bailitf l..
L. Lee, of Early county. He at once
securely tied him in the buggy and start
ed to Blakely Jail, and had not gone
mo. than two or three miles when an
armed posse halted the baihff and took
the pris ner away from him, aud after
unloading his weapons told him t.
return home and he very q lick about it,
Ia TACT, 10 make Himself Scdl00 ~
those parts Next morning the negro
was found swinging from q joist, with
his neck broken, in and uncompleted
frame house near Minis mill, near where
the prisoner was taken from the bailiff.
The negro confessed the crime and said
he ought to be killed, and told the bal
lift he was certain he would be taken
away from him before reaching Blakely
The baiiff says he begged pitifully to be
spared. Whether the law is satisfied or
not, the correspondent thinks, from
what he can hear, the community is as
near satisfied as they could be under the
circumstances.
