To Prevent the Proposed Lynching OF .
Negro Murderer.
COLUMBIA, S. O., Sept 2s. = Calvin
Stewart, the negro who murdered white
man near Langley. short time since, was
captured In a swamp above Langley by
Constable Augustine. The constable and
few friends started TO bring the prisoner
to Aiken. When they had left Langley
about mile In the rear, they were sur
prisei by mob of masked men. Before
any resistance could be made the prisoners
were taken from them and riddled with
bullets.
Coroner Couch was notified and pro-
ceeded To the scene, where an inquest was
held. The jury found that the deceased
came to his death at the hands Of party
or parties unknown to the jury.
Before being shot Stewart confessed to
having murdered old man Carter at Lang
ley. and implicated Stephen Dunbar, who,
he claimed, had aided him in the murder.
Sheriff Alderman was notified that Dun
bar had been captured aud that there was
danger of his being lynched. The sheriff
went TO Langley and brought the negro ~
the Aiken Jail. The sheriff, fearing AN
attempt would be made last night to
lynch Dunbar. telegraphed Governor TILL
man for instru ctions. The governor wired
Captain Oakley of the Palmetto Rifles to
hold his company in readiness to protect
the prisoner IL called upon by the sheriff.
The whole county is stirred up about the
affair and tro lie is feared from the
negroes,

HERALD WANTS PROTECTION.

The Boston Herald has solved the
tariff question. 1t wants the Democracy
to adopt the tariffs of 1s46 and 1887 as
its model. These tariffs win the APP
proval Of The Herald as "supremely
statesmanlike." Let US see. The tariff
OF 1916 placed the duty on sugar at 30
per cent. 1t is nowfree. Coffee and tea
were free then and are now. Salt paid a
20 yer cent. duty in 1S46, pig iron 80 per
cent, bar iron 30 per cent, glass manu-
factures 40 per cent, cotton manufac-
lures % per cent, wool manufactures
30 per cent. and silks 20 per cent.
The tariff of 1857 had sugar dutiabIe
at "a per cent. tits free now. Coffee and
tea---proper objects for a revenue tax
pure and simple-free then as now. Salt
paid 10 per cent. duty, pig iron "a per
cent, bar iron "a per cent, glass manu-,
factures 80 per cent, cotton 10 per cent.
wooden manufactures "a per cent, and
silk manufactures 10 per cent. A
combination of these tariffs is what The
Herald wants, having abandoned its
free trade howls.
The Chicago platform of the Democ
racy, however, declares: 1--WE denounce
the Republican policy of protection as
fraud on the labor of the great majority
of the American people for the benefit
Of the few. We declare it to be the
fundamental principle Of the Democratic
party that the Federal government has
no constitutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties except for the pur
poses of revenue only"
Why continue a fraud then? 1t
makes no difference in principle
whether one dollar or a million dollars
is collected If it is collected by fraud.
The Herald has seen the folly of this
free-trade plank, and desires to repudiate
it. 1t abandons with alacrity its de-
mands for free trade and now asks for
protection and it doesn't pretend that 1t
is crying for incidental" protection
either. The tariffs of '46 and
'57, while they were low tariffs, were
also protective tariffs and intended
as such.
The Herald modestly asks the Ameri-
can people to pay $50, ,OOO, 900 yearly for
duty on sugar.
II craftily onlits to speak about the big
financial panic of 1857 when nearly 5000
commercial failures prostrated the busi-
ness interests of the country.
The Democracy stands pledged to
free trade, and it intends to redeem it's
pledge if it can. 1t proposes to overturn
the business principles which have
governed this country for so many
years, and to substitute q theory i'm
ported from England for an acknowl-
edged successful business principle, the
principle of protection.
Let there be no mistake about this.
The Cleveland organs may protest that
the president Is opposed to free trade
and that he refuses to recognize the free
trade wing Of his party, but they forget
that Mr.. Cleveland is not the Demo-
cratic party. The present status
of the silver question shows that
he can not control his party,
and gives evidence that when the party
makes up it's mind to tackle tho tariff
question it will take the bits between its
teeth and produce free-trade bill that
shall satisfy the extremists and carry
out the policy outlined in the Chicago
platform.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending Tuesday, May
9th, 1898,

9th, 1898.
By Willis Moore, Forecast Official Mil.
Generally clear and rapidly drying
weather throughout the state since
Friday has put the ground in fairly
good shape for seeding and every man
and horse is in the fields this week.
Seeding of oats and spring wheat
was about half done in the south half
of the state early in April, before the
cold wet spell. AS the weather seems
likely to continue favorable the rapid
work now being done will finish seed
ing in the south half this week, and
corn and potato planting will soon be
under way. In the north part of the
state seeding has just started.
Not so much rotting of early sown
wheat is shown as was expected,
Calumet and Marquette counties being
about the only sections that show any
damage, and they but little.
From the south as far north as
Waupaca county, early sown wheat is
reported as just showing above the
ground.
Winter grain and grasses are still
reported in excellent condition from
all counties, and while there is yet no
pasturage and but little growth in
grain, in the increasing warmth in the
in the past few days has awakend ma
ture from her dormant state, buds are
starting, and vegetation is beginning
what promises to be a vigorous and
rapid growth. All thot is needed is
warmth, as the storage of moisture is
abundant, and the warm weather now
shown by the weather map for dis
tance of 1900 miles northeast of Wis
consin gives promise Of seasonable
temperature for the next several days
if not for week.
Vegetation was not backward to be
hurt by the fIequent frosts of the past
week, and fruit is all right.
1t will be May 18th before the plant
ing of potatoes and corn can generally
begin.
