BEooKnAvEN, Sept 25.-Alfred Gar
fifth, a well-to-do colored farmer living
fourteen miles southwest of here IN
Franklin County, had his cotton-housc
and three bales OF seed cotton set on
fire and burned last night by Whitccaps'
some time before daylight. His fence
was also set on fire, but was extln-
guished by the leading white citizens
who hurriedly came to his rescue and
have stood guard all day.
The only cause that can be accepted
for this wholesale destruction of prop
erty is that he lived on land owned by
a Jew.
On last Friday night the water mill
and cotton gin owned by Dan Sasseer
in the southern portion OF Lincoln
County, was burned to the ground, be
sides four or five bales of cotton, with
out dollar Of insurance.
There is good deal OF suppressed Ill
dirnation among the better classes o
farmers on account of these outrages
and speculation is rife as to what step
will be taken in the next few days.
1t is publicly asserted that unles

Brunswick, Ga. Oct. 2.-Twelve
new cases of yellow fever were re-
ported yesterday. Sixty-tive patients
are now under treatment.
Surgeon Murray returned yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock from Jesup, and
reports that the autopsy on c. X. War;
rem. the deputy sheriff who died there
Saturday, proved by the inquest that
he had yellow fever 1t is stated that
Warren had not been in any infected
district within the past few weeks
and if this be true the theory that 1T
requires only ten days incubation for
the fever to develop will be proved un-
reliable. The idea that negroes are
by nature exempt from the disease Is
also dissipated.- The negroes to date
have been the greatest sufferers, and
so many fatal cases have developed
among them that scientists are lnveStl'
eating.
| No cheering words can be truthfully
written on the subject. The scourge
is sure to stay until frost. Four-tifths
of the 5000 people here will have the
fever before frost comes. This is nc
idle statement, but the result of care

THE SUPREME COURT


WASHINGTON. Oct. THE October
term of the supreme court of the United
States will begin week from to-day
the 9th inst. The court will open the
term with docket that in itself DEM
onstrates the advantages OF the new
court of appeals. While the docket
for the October term, in 1892. at the
opening contained 1,sl3 cases, there are
but 1921 awaiting the courts atten-
tion at this time. If this rate OF pro-
gression is maintained the court Will
be confronted with nothing but cur
rent cases seven years hence. The
new cases docketed for this. term in

try. Prominent among them are the
appeals by All Sing and four other
Chinese from the Judgment OF the
United States court for the northern
district of CALIFORNIA;; which will bring
up for review the Geary Chinese law.
The Mormon case is another OF i'm
portance. Upon the decision will de.
pend the disposition Of the funds aris-

VicKsDuHc, Sept. 27.-The week just
