Mob Murders a Negro. and His Aged
Mother on Mere Suspicion.
Columbia. S. c.. Dec. 6.-The details
of dastardly lynching, which occurred
in this state last Monday night, came
to light Thursday night. 1t took place
in Colleton county, near Barnwell and
Hampton lines, and was not generally
known in that vicinity until Wednesday
morning. when the dead bodies of two
of the victims, stripped of their cloth
ing, were found-one being an old wom-
an. They had been taken out and beat
en- to death with new buggy traces.
The mans offense was that he was sus-
pected of having stolen Bible and some
furniture from church, and the wom-
ans offense being that she was sup
posed to know something of it.
Trial Justice Walker held an inquest
Wednesday evening, the bodies still be-
ing where found. The jury, composed
almost entirely of good white men from
the neighborhood, upon the testimony
of Heirs, who, it developes, tried to pre-
vent the deed, and who gave all the
details, has rendered verdict charging
directly four prominent men, one
physician, with the crime.

Business Situation Reviewed by Brad

street and Dun.
New York. Dec. 7.-Bradstreet 3 says:
Business is still sluggish as il gorged by
excessive indulgence of the appetite Of
buying when prices were advancing. In
nearly every branch stocks not yet distrib-
uted to consumers stand in the way Of new
orders. and competition of a producing
force largely exceeding the present de-
mand puts down prices, that decline re-
tarding purchases yet more. After the hol-
days men look for larger demand. Finan-
cial influences have not hindered, and rare
ly has the opening of a session of congress
affected business SO little.
Wheat has advanced about a cent for
the week. The best western estimates of
the crop have been raised again. Corn
moves from farms less freely than year
ago, the low price hindering. Cotton has
beer weak again, declining a quarter for
the week. Iron and it's products are lower.
Boot and shoe shipments for the week are
larger than last year. and manufacturers
are getting increased orders with general
reduction In prices but leather has de-
clined. Hides are about half cent lower.
with all the shrinkage in present bust
ness and prices, it is encouraging to find
but small Increase in failures. -iabili.
ties for four weeks of November were $12..
O99,293. against $1O.5S1. 1913 last year. Manu-.
featuring liabilities were SO, $50, 6S1, against
$6,242,S49 last year; but trading liabilities
only $6,72S,912. against $7,207,367 last year.
Failures in the United States for the week
have been 1924. against 1856 last year. and 8.
IN Canada. against 40 last year"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly re-
view of trade. say:
General trade continues the features OF
preceding weeks-smaller volume. quiet In
most lines, business being conducted con-
servatively. activity only among dealers
In woolens. clothing, shoes and hardware,
and new orders generally Of fillihg-in
character. The season has evidently been
a late one, prolonged mild weather having
delayed orders until the Christmas de-
mand and the belated autumn request
came together. Notwithstanding almost
uniform reports of quiet and unchanged
conditions 1t should be noted that jack
sonville, Augusta and Birmingham at the
south, Milwaukee, Kansas City and st.
Louis at the west, prove exceptions to the
rule by reporting gains in demand for
wholesale staple goods compared with tn"
preceding week The course Of prices also
shows a more favorable tendency, Indian
corn and wheat showing advances, price1
of flour, pork. rice and tobacco being firm
and unchanged, while lower prices are fur
nished by oats, lard, coffee. cotton, print
cloths, petroleum, leather. hides and lum.
