GALLOWAY WANTED Louis Call
oway, negro who has been en-
ployed about numerous hotels in
this city, has got himself badly mix
ed up in the meshes of the law, if
all of what is represented about him
is true, and he may have to go the.
trip. Galloway borrowed a watch
from an acquaintance. He just de-.
sired to have the time piece for a
short time while no called on his
girl, he said, and the party having
confidence in the man permitted
him TO have it. Then Galloway
went to John Rau, the barber, and
wanted to borrow some money on
the watch, which be said was his
own. Rau hesitated about advanc-
ing any money>on it, but finally did
50, and in few days the real own
er came to get the watch, which
Rau refused to give up, and the for
mer attached it, and then proved
the property to be his. In the
mean time Galloway had left town,
and this morning Rau obtained a
warrant for his arrest for getting
money on false representations.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of Constable Frampton, who
will pick up the man in a few days.

and Indiana.

The General Opinion Seems to lie That
Uncle Sam Is Able Attend TO His In

of John Bun or Anybody Else. and That
the Britishers Would Do Well to sweep
Before Their Own Doors Before Going
Abroad TO Poke Their Noses Into Other
s@a.Nations' Affairs.
NEW York, Sept. ia New York
newspaper has sent a dispatch to the
governors of several states stating that
an English committee has been sent to
this country to investigate and de-
nounce the lynchings in the south, and
asking each to wire what he thought of
UGH course.
Governors o'Farrell of Virginia,
Northen of Georgia, Fishback of Ar
kansas and Matthews of Indiana replied
to the effect that we are able to attend
20 our own affairs without any inter
ference.On the part of John Bull or any
body else.
Governor O'Farrell acknowledges the
lynchings, and while he condemns the
lynch law, he feels tho fate of the VIC
Tins of the mobs was deserved. He
says: I'VE might as well investigate
England's affairs in India, her White
chapel murders, the Jack the Ripper
slashings, the Maybrick trial, and her
alleged injustice and cruelty to this
woman, her rapacious colonial policy in
Africa, and the degrading effects upon
the Chinese resulting from her opium
war;
Governor Northen telegraphed back a
salty letter, in which he said they were
welcome to fSrne, but that as long as En-
glishmen solu virtuous women to lusty
millionaires, slew Africans to get their
gold fields and oppressed the Irish, they
would find more to investigate at home
Governor Fishback calls attention to
the fact that England pays less than
one-third per capita for the education of
its people than the United States does
and advises the commission, il in earn
est, to go home and stay there.
Governor Matthews says the proceed
ings are Remarkable and thinks sit
good opportunity to let England ans
other countries understand that we can
and will manage our internal affairs
without interference on their part
Governor Tillman of South Carolin
