Shot Down In Cold Blood.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 9.-L4st
Tuesday afternoon, about midway be-
tween Camden and Bearden, on the
line of the Cotton Belt Railroad, oc-
CURED one of the foulest and most
damnable massacres of negroes that
has ever blackened the records of that
locality. A gang of section men, com
posed principally of negroes, with a
white foreman, were engaged IN their
labor Of improving the roadbed, when
q gang OF unknown persons made their
appearance upon the scene and with
out warning began to Immediately ire
into the crowd OF helpless ana unsus'
pecting negroes. which resulted IN the
death of five of them. The foreman
claims that ne did not recognize any
OF the assassins. Many believe that
he knows who they are, but on &C.
count of the probability Of personal
danger to himself, he is afraid to give
out any information that would lead
to tteir arrest. The section where
these last murders occurred IS occu-
pied almost entirely by the sawmllls
and is filled with lawless characters.
The Sheriff Of Ouachita county IS eX-
erting himself in every way possible
to apprehend the guilty ones, and the
Cotton Belt Company has offered a
reward OF $3.50 for the capture OF the
murderers. If they are captured 1t Is
believed that the courts Of Ouachlts
County will mete out swift justice tc
them.

South caroi,na,s Delegation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December q
Representative Strait arrived here to-
day. and was welcomed back to the
House by his Congressional associates.
He has not yet received formal no
tice OF contest from his rivel, John +.
Jones, although he has been inform
ed by friends of Jones that a contest
will be made. 1t is understood that
contests are expected from every South
Carolina district, and the pleas IN
every case will be based on the uncon-
stitutionality Of the State registration
laws. DR.. Stokes says he is not Wor'
ried by the Johnston contest at the
present session, nor does he believe
the contestant will be able to make
outa good case in the next Congress:
DR.. Stokes has prepared his case, and
he will be able to stand upon the re-
turns of the election managers that
there were not more than about 5000
reflections in his district on account OF
failure to register. Concedlng all
these votes 10 Johnston, DR.. Stokes
claims that he will have handsome
majority over his competitor. +. y.
Webster, who is here looking alter
the political interests of his faction IN
the Republican party, says he suppos,
es Johnston is making a contest
against DR.. Stokes at this session as
q test. II he fails to succeed on the
ground Of the unconstitutionallty oi
| the registration law of South Carolina
| he will probably abandon his confess
in the next Congress. Mr.. Webster
does not claim TO speak authoritative
Ily on this subject, and therefore, it !:
probable that Mr.. Johnston has II
view the financial allowance in con
tested case. He can hardly hope tt
have two al o wances in the same Con
gress and, therefore, the committee OF
elections may decline to consider hi
case at the present session.-News an'

"Why is not the senator ready to
agree to that" ne asked. "Does ne not
see that the Republican party IN this
senate is not, as Il hopes to be ID the
next congress, able to report a general
tariff revision bill.'
L believe" was Mr.. Aliens COM
ment on this point, that the Repub-
lican party is in better shape than 1t
will be in the next congress. Q4augh-
ter Continuing Mr.. Hale expressed
his belief that in the next congress
Republican senator's would be able to
report a General tariff bill which they
could not do now. Bat they were
ready to come TO vote at once on
the Dingley bill-hrst on the proposl.
ton for free coinage OF silver; and II
that were voted down, on the house
bill. While the discussion was still IN
progress the morning hour expired
ard the whole matter went over with
out action. 1t does not come up again
tomorrow under any rule Of the sen.
ate but the motion to take up the bill
and proceed to its consideration may
be made at any time

TaNpaYers Must Pay Up.

GREENvILLE, S. c., Dec. 10.-Comp-
troller General Norton was in the city
TODAY, and made the first official an
that there would be no
extension in the time for payment OF
taxes. He said: The time for the
payment of taxes for the year expires
December 31st-that is for payment
without penalty. The Legislature
does not meet early enough to extend
the time, and the Governor and Com
ptrolier General will not extend, and
therefore there will be no extension.
Heretofore, on account Of the fre
quent extensions, no objections were
offered to county treasurers receiving
taxes after the 3lst of December for a
few days. This year the treasurers
will be advised to deliver their dupli.
Gates on the 1st of January to County
Auditors, who will Immediately make
up the penalty book. In other words,
the law will be rigidly e1forced and
treasurers required to collect without
regard to former customs" This will
doubtless create stir, as the taxpay-
ers seem to be relying on the custom
ary few days grace, as shown by the
small receipts up TO date. The penal
ty will doubtless attach in many cases

negro 10 remain among the white peo-
pie of the South, to whose influence
the negro owed much already and on
whose help ard friendly guild
ance his future good so largely de
pended. To the suggestion of the
News and Courier the the negroes
migrate in body to Africa, he would
repl' in the language OF scripture, Il
would rather be a doorkeeper 10 the
house Of the Lord, than to dwell III the
tents OF wickedness. The negro, ne
said, did not want to leave and as they
were hese with US, he besought for
them our continued interest and nelp
to make them better fitted to live
among US.
A collection. amounting to more
then 500, was taken to help in build
ing church at Summerville.
The pulpit Of the Citadel Square
church was occupied on Sunday morn
ing by Rev. R. J. Willingham, who
from the text, AS fer me and my
house, we will serve the Lord, gave
a practical, impressive and eloquent
talk on Religion IN the family.
Memorial services were held on Sun
day afternoon ia connection with the
report of the committee On obituaries.
During the conventional year thirteen
heralds of the cross passed from this
lower sphere of work TO their heavenly
home. Remarks bearing on the re-
port were made by Rev. l. W. Wlngo
2rd DR.. J. w. Perry.
On Sunday night the convention
closed its session to meet next year
with the Rock Hill church.

Strait and Murray. DR.. Strait is con-
fined to his home by sickness, and
Senator Irby and Murray are expected!
here daily. One of the incidents OF
the day in the House was the swearing
ia of DR.. Stokes. It is unusual tor
one man to be sworn in twice during
the Same Congress, but it will be re-
membered that at the last session the
House decided that there was no elec-
ton in DR.. Stokes district, so new
election was ordered and the result
was in favor of DR.. Stokes. Repre-
sentative Latimer called the attention
of the House to the fact that DR..
Stokes had been duly elected, so he
take oatn. Accompanied by Mr., Lat
inner the Doctor advanced to the
Speakers desk and held up his hanc
while Speaker Reed administered the
