DEBs CALLS JUDGES DEsrors.
Prisons where Innocent Men suffer
to be Made Monumental.

Terre Haute, Ind, June 2-Eugene v.
Debs, president of the American Railway
Union, has addressed a circular letter to
the members of that organization in rela-
ton to the recent decision of the United
States supreme court The circular says:
"a cruel wrong against our great and be-
loved order, perpehated by William A..
Woods, United States circuit judge, has
been approved by the United States SUI
preme court; but though prison walls
frown upon myself and others whom you
chose as officials of your order, l assure
you that neither dependency nor despair
has taken the place of the course which
has characterized us and our order since
the storms of persecution began to beat
upon us. We hay'f not lost faith in the
ultimate triumph of truth over perjury,
of justice over wrong, however exalted
may be the stations of those who perpe-
trate the outrages."
President Debs then reviews the Incl
dents leading up to and the results OF the
great railway strike, and says:
I'm Russia the victim of autocratic dis
pleasure is denied trial by jury OF
his peers. william A. Woods carries out
the Russian practice. In Russia the
doomed man or woman is arraigned be-
fore the supreme despot of one of his
numerous satraps. Truth, justice. mercy
are forever excluded. Age, sex, charac-
ter, innocence, name and condition count
for nothing. 1t is enough to know that
the brave soul yearned for freedom, and
the penalty of exile, impris-
onment, torture or death Is
inflicted, and it has come to this at last
in the United States of America that
the law of injunction is the will of a
despot, and by the exercise of this Rus
sian power American Railway
Union officials go to prison,
and the hope is that by the ex-
ercising of this power the American Rail-
way Union will be crushed. In this su-
preme junction, 1 call upon the members
of the American Railway Union to stand
by their order. In Gods own good time
we will make the despots prisons, where
innocent men suffer, monumental 4"

ington avenue and Inglehart street
Shortly after O'Clock Osborne entered
the home of three sisters, Maggie. Frida
and Annie Kitchell, aged %. Is and IS.
Osborne seized Frida by the throat and
began choking her. The other sisters
were awakened by the scuffle and ran out
to the street and gave the alarm. Anton
Kitchell, who lives close by was the first
TO respond and ran after the brute. The
chase was a hot one for a mile, but the
negro finally gave up and was brought
back to Lexington avenue and Ingiehart
street where the whole nelehborhood
had been aroused, apprlsed of the brute g
act, and were ready for a lynehing bee.
Osborne was led to a tree, a rope was
secured and he was given a few minutes
to confess. This he did, and was swung
to the limb of a maple tree. This threw
the women into Mysteries and Kitchell,
the captor, begged that Osborne be
spared. He was thereupon taken down
and turned over TO the police. The peo-
pie of the neighborhood are very much
wrought up tonight and ii is possible
another attempt will be made to lynch
Osborne. He is, however, under a strong
guard.

RANsoMs RETURN.
He Is Going to AsheviIIe TO Recuper-
ate From His Illness.

Washington, June 2.-Much concern is
expressed by the friends of Minister Ran
som, who is on his way home from Mexi-
co on sick leave. The minister was taken
i'll while en- route to his new post Of duty
and has not been able at any time since
reaching there to transact the business of
the legation. He went, under advice Of
the officials Of the department here. to the
hot springs at Monterey but has evident
ly received no substantial benefit from the
treatment OF the waters there. Upon the
statement of his physician that FIVE or six
weeks stay in his native country would
probably result in his complete restoration
to health, the department Of state granted
him sixty days leave of absence. Minister
Ransom will go direct to Asheville, In the
western part of North Carolina, where 1t
is hoped the bracing mountain air and
generally salubrious climate will unite in
the realization of the physicians expec-
tation. Mr. Ransom was i'll and quite
feeble last winter and 1t was hoped that
his trip to Mexico would result in a speedy
Improvement of his condition.

A Sabbath Afternoon Battle Between
Families Near Tuskegee.
TUskAeEE, Ala, March 26-Sunday
about dusk shooting scrape occurred
near Armstrong Chapel, s miles from
here, which resulted in the killing of
Saao Riddle, dangerously wounding
his brother Charlie and wounding An
drew, aged S, in the leg. The parties
who did the killing are Captain John
Christian and son William, who are
now in jail. Both families have been
on unfriendly terms for some time, it
seems from what could be learned Of
Williams statement that he was letting
down the fence near Riddles COW pen
when the young men came up and Or
dered him off. He went home and
told his father what had occurred and
both armed themselves with guns and
returned to the pen. On seeing them
approach the Riddle boys commenced
firing and Christian then fred with the
above result. The Riddle boys stated
that they were not armed; that they
were shot for nothing and did not
know Christian and son were near un-
til they sprang out and commenced
iriud at them. No arms were found
on the Riddles by several who were
there Immediately after the killing.
Andrew it is said, who with his sister
proceeded his father and mother, af-
ter hearing the report Of the guns,
started towards his brother, when one
of the Christian men said: There's
another Cd d-m Riddle-shoot him.
The grand jury will probably investi-
gate the case next week.

The above Bible incident reminds
me very forcibly of that patriotism
which controls the hearts of those
who love South Carolina most, at the
present critical juncture OF her ex-
istence. Yes, the ear of my imagina-
ton seems to hear our most patri-
otic men shouting to the tops Of
their eloquent voices: Give the
constitutional convention to either
side of our Democratic house, rather
than divide the people of our State
with the sword oil party. spirit any
longer! Let our watchword be peace,
harmony, fraternity and union. If
I could have foreseen our present
troubles and pecuniary distress, l
would have endeavoured to have
made myself just popular enough
with the people, that my warning
voice and pen might prevail in be-
half OF the unity of the white people
of South Carolina. What reason can
be assigned for our having divided
in the face of our old Republican en-
emy and their Southern tools, dupes
and crazy cranks? All! methinks l
hear them clap their hands together
and s:shout for joy" Let US Caro-
linians, disappoint them. and their
internal hopes and aspirations. We
can DO it, if We but unite as a band
of brothers. Oh! it does their hearts
good to think that the "solid South
has been broken. If the "solid
South" has been broken, the stronger
then becomes the great and control
ling argument in favor of our being
united now and forever, Let US
unite and then in the language
of the great and eloquent Lansdon
Sleeves: "The tale of submission
shall never be told!''

McLaurin'S Seat Contested.

The matter of contest of Congress-
man McLaurin's seat in the 54th
Congress came up in this county
yesterday morning before Il. A.
Stewart, Esq, notary public: Coun-
sci representing McLaurin are, T.
Bouchll, Esq, of the Bennettsville
bar, and Rhame & Davis, OF the Man
ming bar. Before the taking Of the
testimony was commenced, counsel
for McLaurin, the contestee objected
to the proceedings on the ground
that there was no proof OF service oi
notice. J. H. Fordham, Esq, col,
ored attorney of the Orangeburg bar,
counsel for Joshua E. Wilson,the con-
testant, contended that the notice Of
contest was not a matter for the no.
tary to consider as his duties were
not of Judicial character. The no
tary decided to go on and take the
testimony. There were about forty
darkies from different sections of the
county. First witness sworn was
Isham H. Hilton, from Jordan. This
witness was one of the list-keepers
and he showed up long list OF
names that he claimed were not al.
lowed to vote on account Of not
baving registration tickets. He
claimed that during the counting OF
votes 25 were thrown out and burned.
The distance from the State to the
Congressional polls was about 300
yards. John Warren, of Foreston,
was the next testimony. His testi-
mony as we'll as the rest of the gang
was about the same as that OF the
first witness.
