WAYLAID AND MURDERED.

Treasurer Copes, of orangeburs
County was waylaid, murdered aud
robbed Saturday evening nine miles
from the town Of Orangeburg, while
returning from collecting taxes. In
their haste they failed to get s556,
which was in his left Land breeches
pocket. His horse strayed up to farm
house, where it was recognized, and
excited suspicion. After short search
Mr.. Copes' body was found. He
was lying dead by the roadside with
three buckshot wounds in the temple.
The murderers had made theis
escape, but the State farm blood hounds
were sent from Hagood on special train
as soon as possible, and put on the trail
at 10 o'clock that night. They follow
ed the trail to the bank Of the North
Edisto river where it ended. The entire
county is aroused and it is hardly posi-
BILE that the murderers can escape the
hundreds searching for them.
There is no clue as to the identity Of
the murderers. but it is believed that
they are white men. There we're two
tracks by the roadside, one number =,
the other number I.
Mr. Copes was about Sc years old,
and prominent and respected citizen
Gov. Tillmao has offered reward,
and the murderers will be run down, il
it is possible.

CAL. CAUGHMAN'S CHAL-
LENGE.
Every Illegal Vote in the Seventh
Will be Marked, Novem-
ber 6.

To the Editor Of the State:
hereby give the following notice to
the commissioners and managers ol
election 10 the Seventh Congressional
District:
1. That notice has been given me
that the old dodge used BY the Demo
cratic party 10 former elections for
bringing about the defeat of the Re.
publican party will be resorted to
against me. | desire to say that the
method of managers striking tickets
with pencil so as to mark them while
voter is placing his ballot in the box,
thereby rendering it void, will be
watched and prevented at each poll.
2. That the old game of voting the
registration list cf each precinct Of
both the living and dead will not be
allowed. because party will be placed
at each poll to take the number Of
votes cast and name of voter.
3. All registration certificates offered
by voters will be seen and any person
attem mpting to vote upon auother's GER
ti6cate will be taken down, and if man
ayers allow vote to be taken upon said
certificate they will be prosecuted under
the statutes.
/. Notice is also given that each
voter Offering to vote without registra-
tion certificate will have the opportu-
nifty to make affidavit Of his attempt to
vote aud the cause of refusal, which
cause must be stated by the managers
to the applicant desiring to vote. A
trial justice or notary public will be at
each poll to take affidavit without cost
to the voter.
5. make this announcement to put
the managers on notice, because [ am
aware that in the past these practices
have prevailed, in order to perpetuate
white supremacy. In this election l re.
gard the issue in this district Of vital
importance to the real Democracy, be-
cause the entire machinery is in the
hands Of those representing principles
and theories destructive 70 the Demo
cratic party. Also. | am aware and be-
lieve, as my request was not granted
by Gov. TiIlmau, to give me represen.
tat;on on tho hoard of commissioners
that fraud and rascality will be re-
sorted TO to defeat all opposition to DR..

BLADoN's SENTENCE.
He Shot Down a Negro Who was
Running From Him-The Judge
Says the Verdict is Righteous
Verdict.

SpARrANBURG, October % This
morning, when Court met, few
prisoners we're arraigued for sentence
Three or four negroes appeared and re.
ceived their sentences.
Johu A. Bladon was then placed in
the dock. He is stalwart man, about
40 to Is years old, heavy mustacbe,
erect bearing. and weighs when in good
condition 180 to 200 pounds. As he
entered the dock be showed consider
able trepidation. He had a WORE,
baggard look as though he bad not
slept we'll for several nights. The
clerk, T. R. TRIMMER, read in clear
distinct voice the indictment. Judge
Fraser then asked him if he had any
thing to say more than he had said Why
sentence of death should not be pro.
nouuced against him.
In a weak, falteriog iodistinct voice
be uttered short sentence, which could
not be beard a few feet away from the
dock. Judge Fraser said :: Il do not
understand what you say" Stauyarne
Wilson, his attorney, arose and said
"He says that he does not fear verdict
drawn from a hat
The Judge then proceeded to read the
sentence. 1t was very short. He said
he did not see how the Jury could come
to any other conclusion than the enc
they reached when the evidence was
considered. That he had shot down
Henry Palmer when be vas running
from him, after all danger was over
The Judge then sentenced him to be
hanged Friday, January Is, 1895, be-
tween the hours of 10 a. q. and z p.
Of course no one expects that
"Bloody Jack Bladon' will be execut-
ed. His friends are in power. The
shortest and cheapest solution of the
whole m4tter would be for Governor
Tillmau to pardon him at once, and as
an act of retributive vipdictiyeness to
appoint him chief dispensary constable
for Spartanburg and place him over
this people again. That would be
fine Tillmanite stroke An appeal will
be taken to the Supreme Court.
The trial and conviction has caused
considerable comment Of course there
is difference of opinion. Some believe
that Bladon had perfect right to shoot
Palmer or any other negro. The
opinion of the law-abidiug, law-respect-
iug people is that it is correct verdict
and that the jury rose above partisan
prejudices to reach it IF Bladon is
pardoned to morrow the moral effect
will be the same as if he is hanged.-

The Campaign in North Carolina.

RALEIGH, N. c.. October l8.-Ez-
State Democratic Chairman Summons
was interviewed this evening regarding
the political situation, he having just
returned from the canvass. He says
the legislature is safely democratic by a
good majority, and that the state ticket
will be elected by the usual democratic
majority of ten to fifteen thousand.
He regards fusion as failure aud con.
6rus the news that the populists aud
republicans are getting further aud
further apart. Fusion. he finds, is
more complete in the fifth district than
elsewhere. In fact, the whole effort
appears to be to carry that and the
eighth district for fusion. The negroes
declare that they will not support fusion
and the movement 6ud little favor 10
the counties east of Raleigh.

River bridge, about two miles from this
town to-day, by a young man named

Mr. Mcdowell, who was cotton
seed buyer, had difficulty with a
brother of Smith the preceding day,

and Mcdowell returned the FIRE. Mr..

this is probably mortal wound. Smith
received a slight flesh wound.
