The body had the appearance of having

black tie which was always worn by the
deceased. The rewards offered for Leon

Columbia. S. c.. July 1O.-To-day state
conference of about 100 of the representa-
tive negroes of the state met in the state
senate chamber to discuss the outlook for
the coming constitutional convention.
The conference was held with closed doors
and it was not until tonight late that
anything was given the press. The ne
groes adopted long address to 1.-THE pcu-
pie of the United States"
The address says at the outset: "As
a part of the constituent elements from
which our national government draws it's
life blood in time of peace, and from
whose life blood it exacts tribute in time
of war, under the broad reciprocal rela,
tions that should exist among all the peo-
pie of one common country, that should
be elastic, offensive or defensive weapons

BILE, at home or abroad, in order that the
theory of government handed down by the

but desperate minority of the popula ton
has declared its purpose to perpetuate its
power by unlawfully trampling under feet
all the rights and franchises granted us by
the federal constitution as a means &C
protecting life. liberty and property

I'VE humbly crave your influence with
the constituted authorities of the nation
in order that their consciences and arms
might be strengthened in efforts to have
the constitution and laws of the nation
upheld so that each American citizen
might have the equal protection of the

murders and lynchings to the disregard
for law which the power-glutted party in
power has displayed and attack without
gloves the nature of the government of
this party.
