over FL prisoners arrested for enter
ing the municipal building on the night
of the recent lynching. Public opinion
is behind the government and the in
vestigation will be pushed rapidly. The
officials arrested were accompanied to
the prison by the new chief of police,
who takes charge Of his department
in stirring times. 4
The government, by this course, has
not prejudiced the case, but has taken
precautions demanded by popular SEN
timent which, fed by rumors, has be-
come excessively irritated, for the pub
lie fail to understand how prisoner
of so great Importance should be left
in charge of unarmed officials. High
officials of the federal government have.
to some extent shared the peculiar feel
ing, and it is reported that at the regu
lar cabinet meeting Friday several min
listers urged. that the conduct of the
police should be thoroughly investi-
gated. A communication was accord
ingly sent to Gov. Rebollar, of the fed
eral district, for transmission to the
inspector general, in which the latter
was informed that he must give up his
office Immediately. He is censured for
not having taken proper precautions,
in guarding the prisoner. The arrests

ness of demeanor. He is remarkably
able man who has risen in the force by
his talents and efficiency, and his dis
missal from the police department is a
tremendous blow to him and his
friends. If the police authorities are
proven criminally negligent IN guard
ing the prisoner they will undoubtedly
be severely punished, and whoever took
part in killing the prisonerwil be held
for murder, even if they were merely
passively acting as Investigators of the.
crime. Popular rumors ascribing a
part in this affair to the members of the
police force are based on mere suspicion,
and tits deemed unjust pending judicial
inquiry to maintain this view. There
was gross carelessness without doubt.
More than that is far from demon
strated. But the government is. deter
mined to show; the world that lynching
has not been naturalized here.

son and another farmer and brought
here by them and retailed to farmers
and laborers ON the Mobile and Ohio
extension, which is being graded by
this place. A great number of farm
ers and railroad hands purchased some
of the mixture and immediately after
drinking the concoction were taken
violently i'll. No physician was at
hand and many of them died before
attention could be given them. The
alcohol was labelled for mixing paint

sensation. Anderson and his partner
are among the dead. Bill Anderson
and j. L. Jones, the two men who
bought the stuff, are the only names
obtainable at present.

Still Fighting Uncle Sam.

COLUMBIA, Dec. 5.-The general
indications are that the dispensary
management and the Administration
do not expect any radical change in
the dispensary law. The tendency
from these sources will be to leave
the law as nearly as it stands at pres
emit as possible. There is just at this
time 70 more chance of the passage Of
prohibition bill, and by that is
meant dispensary law for medicinal,
sacramental and scientific purposes
only, than there is for the passage cf
high license Act. A resolution
may be passed to the effect that the
intention of the dispensary law is to
regulate the sale of liquor and strictly
not for money making. Such an ex-
preston may even be incorporated in
the new administration" bill that is
to be proposed to the General Assem-
bly,, but it will be more of blind
than anything else, and it will be
noted that there will be no change in
the management of the business or
the price Of the liquors. To show
that the lawmakers do not propose to
allow profits to be made, and that
liquor is only to be sold for medicinal.
sacramental and scientific purposes, it
would be as well TO fix prices in the
law. There are some who argue that
if the price of liquors be doubled that
it will have the effect of reducing the
consumption as well as the profits to
the dispensary, while on the other
hand it is argued that when the State
says that it does not propose to make
any profit on the sale of liquor, it
should sell the goods at actual cost,
plus the cost Of handling.
is now contended, and has all
along been so contended, by certain
element Of dispensary advocates that
the profit feature was mere incident
Of the law.
The reports for the month of Octo-
Der indicate that there has been a
considerable falling off in the sales
through the dispensary: although for
the last few days there has been an
increase in the business, supposedly
on account of the Christmas trade

died last Sunday morning in New
York, where he had gone to have a
surgical operation performed. His
remains were brought to Abbeville
and inferred yesterday afternoon. By
his death South Carolina loses another
able and influential citizen, and he
will be missed by the people of the
whole State, whom he served faithful
ly in war and, peace. Judge Cothran
was born in Abbeville County August
S, 1880. In his boyhood he attended
the told field" schools, then went to
Erskine College for year, and after
ward went to the University Of Geor-
gia, from which he graduated in 1852
He.returned to Abbeville, read law
and in 1854 was admitted to the Bar
He practiced law until the breaking
out of the war, when he volunteered
as private in Co. B., Orr's Regiment.
He was finally promoted to Captain Of
the company. and during the war
was wounded three times. In 1876
Judge Cothran was elected Solicitor
of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, in
which position he served until May,
1881, when Gov. Hagood appointed
him Judge Of the same Circuit to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death
Of Judge Thompson. He served as
Judge for eight years, and upon the
death of Col. D. Wyatt Aiken was
elected as his successor to Congress,
where he was when selected as general
counsel for the Southern Railway. in
which capacity he served up to the
time of his death. In every trust he
was faithful and true, and his mem
ory will long be cherished By his
legion of friends.

gions Of the South and control about
5000 miles of railroad. It is very
interesting question for us here. for
the 81. & N. wants an outlet and we
are anxious that her main terminal
should be Port Royal which offers so
many more advantages than the two
ether ports. The project and plan Of
the Black Diamond Railroad is agrand
one, and, if carried out. would be OF
great benefit to the entire South. 1t
would develop it's great resources as
nothing else could do, and bring it in
to such close proximity to the great
West for mutual trade and commerce,
which would induce settlers to come
South and improve our waste lands
and bring with them some OF the
Western life and energy which has
done so much to astonish the world.
We must and will have great rail
road from the South Atlantic like the
Pennsylvania system leading to the
West under one control. The Black
Diamond fills the bill completely, and
can do more for us than any other
syndicate, either the L. & N. or the
Southern R. R., both Of which are
striving to control the destiny of the
South"

The following il an extract from a
private letter received from promi-
nent ex-railroad man whose opinion in
railroad affairs is based upon years of
experience and whose information con-
cerning the resources of the South is
considerably in advance of most men
with whom it is our pleasure to con-
verse or correspond: II notice there
is threat on the part Of the owners
of the Charleston and Western Caro-
lima Railroad to build new road from
Atlanta TO Augusta, but this will not
be done. There are already two roads
between those.cities, and a third would
never pay. 1t is not more short lines
We need in the South, but grand
Trunk Line, such as the proposed
Black Diamond, coming direct from
eenters of trade in the west and ira
versing the rich mineral resources Of
the South and Northwest down to the
seaboard, with three grand outlets at
Savannah, Charleston and Port Royal,
all Of them doing share Of the new
Business which this great railroad
would create, and which would give
them something more than cotton,
which is now relied upon almost ex-
clusively for exports because nothing
else can be made to pay or to compete
with the larger systems to the more
Eastern ports, or by the Illinois Central
to New Orleans. There is a great
deal pending in the important
law suit now going on be-
tween the Thomas and Ryan syndicate
and the L. & N. for the half interest
in the Georgia lease. 1t is my i'm
preston that the L. s. N. will soon
coutrol the G. & w. G. r. r., and in
that case they would be better able
and more disposed to connect with the
West, but would probably oppose the
Black Diamond as the L. & N. has i'm
mense interest in the coal and iron re-
