T1LLmAN REPLIES TO JERvEY.
The Governor Puts a Different Con-
struction on the Law.

me SONGIuOI uIS a 4(4h6l CIV SOh-
struction on the Law.
Columbia, S. c., May Gov Tillman
to-day replied to the letter of Solicitor
Jervey, in which the latter, referring to
the governors instructions to prosecute
the Denmark lynchers, held that the law
only directed him to assist another soil
citor and not take charge himself. The
governor says: while it may be pre-
sumption in me, layman, to construe
the law differently from so distinguished
an ornament to the bar as yourself, in
sist that you are splitting hairs, so to
speak. You will not assert that the dis
ability of the solicitor of the Second cir
cult paralyzes the law or deny that
the judge can appoint solicitor
pro TEN, and the technical
language TO assist the attorney
general or each other, cannot be
construed to forbid an Interchange of
work or swapping places by the solicitor,
even to take original proceedings ] still
hope that you will waive your own CON
struction and leave it to the court to pass
on the legality of such proceedings as you
may take in prosecuting the Denmark
lynchers. OF course, | have no power to
force you to perform the duty which
thought would be pleasant to you. If you
still refuse, the matter must be left with
the Judge when court convenes."

A New Crusade Started Against the
Women of the Town.

A New Crusade Started Against the
Women of the Town.
Atlanta, Ga, May 6-The fight on the
women who keep houses of ill-fame is
breaking out again here. A crusade was
started some time ago by the preachers,
but il ended very suddenly One night
there was terrific storm, and the light
ming was terrifying Rev Virgil Nor
cross, who led the crusade against the
demi monde, was preaching against them
at the time. There was loud clap OF
thunder, and on investigation it was dis
covered that the steeple of the church
had been struck by lightning. Several
persons were slightly shocked by the
electric bolt.
A woMAN's COMMENT.
One of the women made a very
true remark about the occur
renee. IF that thunderbolt,' said
she. chad struck a house Of
ill-fame the preachers would all have
taken up the cue that it was the Lord
showing his disapproval of our ways
which all know are none too good. But
as it was nothing was said about it. ] will
always believe that the preachers know
that it was a sign for them to let up on
us.
TWO FINED.
This morning Lottie Graham and Mat
tie Wood appeared before Judge West
moreland and plead guilty to the
charge of keeping houses of
ill-fame and were each fined
800 and costs, and notified that if they
appeared before the court again they
would be sent to the chain-gang.
r. K Paul has sworn to bills of accuse
ton against the following named keepers
of houses of i'll repute: Annie and Fannie
Price, Abbie and Cora Howard, Nellie
Train, Minnie Lee, Carrie Clarke, Blanche
Hill, Willie Gault Ella Hinckle and
Annie Searcy, all of whom have been
numberless times before Judge West
moreland, who promised on their next
appearance to send each to the chain
gang.
