1.-THE PERRYVILLE RECORD" ON
THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

In view Of the rumors that come to us
from the county capital it is evident that
the political pot in the democratic camp
has already commenced to boil and that a
strenuous effort is being made by the party
managers and workers to heal over the
factoDal differences that have so bitterly
existed betwt en- the different wings of the
party 1t is admitted that harmony with
in the party ranks is absolutely necessary
to make the success of the democratic ticket
possible this fall, and yet We believe that
there is also something more needed to
bring about this result, and that is, that it
will be absolutely necessary for the party
leaders to make it clear to the sober, ntelli
gent voters, that in their efforts to secure
this peace and harmony they are actuated
by an earnest and sincere desire to promote

The men who are implicated in the

themselves to the sheriff OF Colleton
County, and claim that the stories of
the affair, which are all agreed 80 far,
have been much exaggerated, and at
the proper time they will present their
side of the case, which will cause @
reversal Of public sentiment. The
parties who have surrendered are DR..

and all OF them belong to we'll known
and respectable families In Colleton
and Barnwell counties.
Governor Evans has been officially
informed of the fact that the Colleton
lynchers were In custody, and while
he has not given out for publication
what he did In the premises, it is
known that there have been two de-
tectives down in Colleton working up
! the case. The bodies of the negroes
were examined and their stomache
were sent to Charleston for examine
tion to see II they had been poisoned
IL being stated that the victims had
been given poisoned whiskey. 1t is
said that the examination by physicians

SECRETARY OGNEY'S VIEW,
A Strong Presentation of the Amer
lean Side of the Controversy,

A Strong Presentation of the Amer.
lean Side of the Controversy
The message was accompanied by
Secretary Olney's now celebrated note,
reopening the negotiations with Great
Britain looking to the arbitration of
the boundary dispute bearing the date
of July Goth last, and is addressed to
Mr.. Bayard. The secretary begins by
stating that the president has given
much anxious thought to the subject,
and has not reached a conclusion with
out a lively sense of its great impor-
tance as well as of the serious possibil-
ity involved in any action now to be
taken. He deems it unnecessary to
enter into any detailed account of the
controversy, which Is of ancient date
and has since 1914 never ceased to be q
subject of contention. The claims Of
both parties, 1t must be admitted, are
of q somewhat indefinite nature.
day standing for the boundary line
predicated upon strict legal rights
Great Britain having formulated no
such claim at all, while Venezuela in
sists upon the Essequibo line only as a
liberal concession to their antagonists.
The secretary notices briefly several
features of the situation-the continu-
Gus growth of the underlined British
claims, the fate of the various attempts
at arbitration of the controversy, and
| the part in the matter heretofore taken
by the United States. He shows how
| the exploitation of the Schomburg line
was followed by Venezuela's protest
and by what may be fairly interpreted
as a disavowal of the liue by Great
Britain, Notwithstanding which every
I-pl, IN, hn II pi tal nj ,t "a
time has moved the frontier of British
Guiana farther and farther to the west
ward of the line proposed by LORD
Aberdeen in 1874.
The secretary traced the various Of
forts made by Venezuela to arrive at 6
settlement of the boundary question
and of the United States to secure 1T
submission to arbitration, bringing tn,
history down to the beginning Of thi
year, when the important features O
the situation were summarized by hin
as follows:
1. The title to territory of indeflnit,
but confessedly very large extent i
In dispute between Great Britain ant
Venezuela.
Q, The disparity in strength of tn
parties is such that Venezuela cal
hope to establish her claim onl
through peaceful methods.
8. The controversy, has existed 70
half q century, despite Venezuela
efforts to establish boundary.
4. Venezuela has for quarter OF
century striven for arbitration.
; s.. Great Britain has continuously re
fused, except upon the Remuneration 1
her favor OF II large part OF Venezut
las claims.

: clear to Great Britain and the worl

could tell where the Bible was. Thet

they reached the old spring, near theI

There they waited until their ac-
completes came with the helpless,

rage and inflamed with drink did his
appeals vainly como that his sufferings
might be ended by death. Only when
he sank, mangled and unconscious, did
they desist Then, as if fhalf-mocking,,
half-relenting, they built a fire by him, \
threw over him his old coat, and left
his beaten wife to watch by his side
during the long hours of that cold De.
