Three on one Limb.

COLUMBIA, s. G., July 31.-A triple
lynching has occurred in Lexington
county. Monday night, July 24th, Mrs.
Sightler,r wife of a white farmer, was
assaulted. Suspicion pointed to Will
Thompson, colored, who had decamped
and Handy Keighler. Handy was
caught and narrowly escaped immediate
lynching, Thompson took to the sw...nps
and was not caught until Saturday after
noon. He was taken to CASTOR station
one mile from where the outrage occur
red, arriving there Sunday morning.
He was given terrible beating on his
back with buggy trace and then hang
ed to tree when five hundred shots
were fired into him. The body was cut
down by bullets but he was again tied
up and the body was left hanging in Wow
of all persons passing on the South bound
railroad. Thompson's story was that
Tom Foster and Handy Keigler, Ne
groes, participated in the crime. When
the moose was on his neck and he was
half dead be reiterated this story. Han
DIV had been sent to Jail for safe keeping
Foster was captured shortly after the
death of Thompson, about eight miles
from CASTOR, beaten, hanged to the same
tree with Thompson and almost shot to
pieces, fully 500 shots being fired into
him. The crowd then went to Lexing-
ton Jail where Handy was. He had been
placed there by local committee and
the sheriff released him to the parties
who placed him there. He was then
taken toward CASTOR.
A special from Swanzea says that Han
dy was hung to the same tree as the 9th
or two this morning at $50 o'clock. Nc
confession could be extorted either from
him or Preston, his alleged accomplice

Congressman shelI's Story.
Columbia State,

LAURENs, S. c., July 2.-Congressman
She'll desires your correspondent to fur
nish the State the following correction
of the story of the Irby-Shetl affair,
which appeared appended to my tele-
gram in the State of Sunday, 23rd inst.
TO the Editor of the State: Nothing is
more distasteful to me than the necessity
of appearing in print; but observe in
your issue Of the Esd inst, sn inaccurate
account Of personal difficulty that oc-
Cured at Col. Shaw's between Senator
Irby and myself, and in order that the
public may know the truth of the oc-
currence, will state, briefly, that was at
Col. Shaw's, an invited guest, on Thurs
day, The 18th inst, together with Mr.. O.
G. Cunningham, w. +. Cunningham and
T.. S. League. Some time after my
arrival there, and whilst being entertain
ed in the parlor, Senator Irby suddenly
made his appearance, and in an excited
manner inquired of me if Gen. Farley had
read to me the communication published
against him, and also demanded to know
i'll endorsed said article. I replied in
the affirmative, and said I endorsed so
much of it as was contradictory to the
statement made by 'Craddock." There
upon Col. Irby struck me. whilst I was
sitting in my chair. Mr.. w. T. Cunning
ham caught Irby and pulled him back,
when Irby drew his knife, but was pre-
vented from using it by being held by
Mr.. w. T. Cunningham. After some
unimportant chickering's, Senator Irby
left, and thus ended the affair.
IWould state, in justice to Col, Shaw,
that he was in no way responsible for
this indecent occurrence, and none regret
ted it'more than he. The statement that
Col. Shaw had invited me to come to his
house after midnight is utterly false, and
any intimation that there was con-
spiracy to assassinate me is without foun-
dation. If have q friend land l have
many Col. Shaw must be numbered first
among them.
Mr.. o. c. Cunningham had no pistol,
nor was one ever mentioned throughout
the affair, and no such information was
ever furnished by me as one of the inter-
ested parties to any one.

"A scientific journal tells this story OF
frogs cunning: A brood of chickens
was feG with meal in saucers, and when
the dough soured little 1t attracted q
large number of flies. An observant
toad had evidently noticed this, and ey-
cry day toward evening he would make
his appearance in tho yard, hop to sau-
Ger, climb in and roll over and over until
he was covered with meal, having done
which he would await developments.
The flies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmed around the scheming batra-
chian, and, whenever one passed within
two inches or 30 Of his nose, his tongue
darted out and the fly disappeared. The
plan worked so well that the toad made it a
regular business.
Cotton seed, which thirty years ago
WAS thrown away as a waste product in
,the Southern States, or used as fuel, is
now the basis of an industry valued at
over $27, 100000 per annum. To-day the
cotton seed oil production is worth Sl6,-
00O, 900 per annum, the Oil cake brings in
nearly SS,000,000 more, and the lint and
hulls produce 81, 100000. Only only one
third Of the seed is used as yet, the ball
ance awaiting wider market. The oil
product is used In adulterating lard and
olive oil, and the cake, lint and hulls in
feeding stock and as fertilizers. 1t is
said that paper can be made from the
stalks.

The Augusta Ne:ostruly remarks that
5it IS time that the truth about silver was
srecognized and admitted and that the sit
uation was looked squarely and practi-
scally in the face. The advocates of free
silver are too fond of charging all those
who oppose them with being enemies of
silver. This is sweeping statement that
cannot be sustained. The real truth is
wei believe that most Of chose who want
the Sherman act repealed and the COIN
age Of 53 cent dollar stopped do so be-
cause they want sound and stable cur
rency. Silver has been all right IN the
past, and under proper conditions will
be valuable and available yet, but, aban-
sdoned by other nations and coined at a
debased value, silver is working much
mischief, is menacing our government
finances and will cause serious trouble,
If our policy is not changed.

we udy Ldlt Ol TeQQCluS LuAdGlOu upuu
our people, but there is only one way in
which it can be done to any perceptible
degree. When we have settled our diff
ferences and ceased our quarreling !;
whom we have encouraged capital to come
ment; when we have doubled our hands
in the factories, in the shops and on the
farms when we have twice the capital
and twice the people to bear the burden
and the cost of supporting the State that
we now have, then we will realize that
we have reduced our own taxes and ad-
ded materially to the value Of our own
property as we'll, but not until then. In
such movement it would be but right
and natural, that leading conservative
Retormers, with Governor Tillman Cf he
willy, should take the lead and bring
about what is most needed and desired
in the State This is the more incum-
bent upon him, and them, since they are
so largely responsible for our present
condition, and we hope he will move for
ward on the line so plainly marked out
as the natural result or sequel Of the Re-
form movement, and if he will not the
responsibility will be his, particularly if
he should receive the full assurance that
he will be supported by all Of the real
lolOTuoIS dllu 1cal CouSo1 fatlfoo VI Iu0
State.
Let us have "more progressive move
ment," and let its watchword be "Pro-
gressive Development"
The above article has already been al-
luded to in my reply to Senator Irby. In
submitting it to the public, let me say
finally, that we have arrived at that point
or period in our history when we must
do something similar to what have sug-
gested, in the next campaign, or we may
do something worse. 1t must be evident
even to the causual observer, after the
experience of the last two campaigns,
that we are on the eve of crisis, that q
climax has been reached, from which we
will get great deal better or great deal
worse. Ifsuch another campaign as we
have had is allowed to take place the
State will not only be torn into contend
ing factions, but there may be riot,
bloodshed and actual revolution, which
all of us would deplore, and which wo
have but narrowly missed.
Our attention should be turned to Ma
tional affairs, because it is from that
point that our great relief must come,
and 1 repeat that it is neither wise,
statosmanlike, patriotic, much less Chris
tianlike, to continue tho present bitter
moss in factional strife, when in truth
there is now no real difference between
