Protection for the South.

Boston Herald.
The Southern States, recognizing
protection as inevitable under the
coming tariff, are appearing to ask
their share in it. We have had the
claimants for a duty on sugar long
with us from Louisiana, but few
have anticipated that protection for
the cotton growers was to be sought.
Cotton is King" was long the i'm
perious claim of the Southern States.
This, of course, meant Southern cot
ton, and it had considerable in
fluence in making that section feel
safe in engaging in rebellion against
the government. We find now that
the reign of this potentate is dis
puted The Sea Island cotton grow
ers, who used to be the nobility
about the throne, have had a con-
vention, in which they claim that
Egyptian cotton is pressing them
hard, and they must share in the
advantages against competition
that the tariff is assumed to afford
This is another evidence that the call
for protection is to be wider in the
next tariff than ever before, and that
the farmers are to have a heavier
share in it. 1t really seems reason
able that if one interest is to be pro-
tected all shall be,

There is Nothing Half as Good!

Thoroughbredso of Roth Sexes Locked
Up at New Rochelle.
NEW RoCHELL, N. Y, March S.
Seven fine Brahmin fowl are locked
up in cell at Police Headquarters.
They were arrested in Rochelle Park,
and failing to explain why they were
out so late, were imprisoned. They
have crowed and cackled all day as
though proud of the exploit, and the
hens laid two eggs on the stone floor.
Policeman Kelly saw a man last night
near the borders OF the park "toting"
heavy burden. The man saw Kelly
and ran into an open field, where he
disappeared in the darkness. Kelly
searched the field and finally saw what
he supposed was a man lying on the
ground.
He drew his revolver and cautiously
approached the object. To his sur
prise, he found it not man, but a
bag full Of live chickens. He carried
them to Police Headquarters, and as
there was no other place available, he
locked hens and roosters up in cell.
No owner came to claim them, and
no one volunteered to furnish bonds
for their temperance when wanted,
and so they remain in jail. The fowls
are thOrOughbredS.

THE FREE LIST SMALL.
Dingley Bill Will Impose a Moderate
Tariff on Almost Everything.

Dingley Bill Will Impose a Moderate
Tariff on Almost Everything.
By Telegraph to the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The ways
and means committee OF the house
are working Industrious y to complete
the tariff bill Three ses ions of the
committee will be held daily until it
is perfected. With the exception of
the wool and sugar schedules. all the
others are now more or less complete.
The free list OF the Dlngley bill will
probably be much smaller than that
of the act of 1890. The Mckinley
law Was framed rather with a view to
reducing than to increasing revenue,
and now with such urgent necessity
for revenue, the committee have de-
cided to take from the free list such
articles as will stand a small duty
without becoming burden upon the
consumer. For instance, chickle, the
basis Of chewing gum. is now on the
free list. Over 200, 900, 600 pounds
were imported last year. A small
duty upon this article will raise con-
siderable revenue without in any way
Increasing the price of chewing to the
consumer.

A dispatch from Weldon, says
minister Ransom was here Friday
looking ten years younger since his
retirement to private life. A great
load has been lifted from his should
ers, and he says he feels much better
than in years before. He is the very
picture of splendid manhood. Some
body up North, apropos Of Senator
Villas deep dislike for Minister Ran
SONS habit Of wearing good clothes.
has been reviving anecdotes of the
time when the minister was the best
dressed man In the Senate. l noticed
that the Mexican Herald of a recent
date, in commenting on this fact,
says: In dress or manners he is not
easily beaten. A gentleman, all wool
and yard wide, is Mr.. Ransom He
matched the best Mexican caballe 70
in gentlemanliness and exquisite
courtesy; in contest of etiquette he
was not to be beaten, nor did he de
sire to excel, so kindly was his regard
for the feelings of others. 1t will be
long time before finer specimen of
the true American gentleman of the
school comes as minister to Mexico. -"

South Dakota Lawmakers Tied Up in
Great Storm.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March S.-Re-
ports tonight from one hundred towns
in the Northwest indicate that an
other great storm is raging-perhaps
the greatest Of the Winter. A serious
blockade is on in South Dakota. No
trains have been moving to Water

points for the past twenty four hours.
The South Dakota Legislature, which
adjourned at Pierre on Friday, hds
been unable to leave that place owing
to the blockade.

Harding, of the Great Northern, has
just come in from North Dakota, and
says that the snow in the mountains
surpassed all previous records. In
many places it was far over the tops

than cut tunnel rather than a swath.
There is so much snow on the ground

A PRACTICAL ADDRESS.
President Spaugh's Talk at the Y. !
G.. A. on ssTrayelers

President Spaugh's Talk at the Y. NJ
c. A. on tsTravelers''
At the mems gospel meeting at the
Y. M, G. A. Sunday afternoon Pres
ident r. A. Spaugh made a very help
full and impressive address on "Trav-
elers. He said we are all travelling
men"-some soliciting orders for a
mercantile, or some other business
house, but there is another kind of
travelling which we want to consider
this afternoon. We are on our jour
ney to an eternal heaven or to an end
less hell. Which shall it be? At the
most, life is short; therefore, why
should we envelope ourselves in the
perishable things OF this world ? Ex0
perience teaches US that this life is
full of pain and sorrow; there is suf-
fering on every hand and all of US will
soon pass from the stage Of action.
There are two great trunk lines, )"
as it were-One going in one direction
and one the opposite. Each one OF US
are on one of these trains bound for
eternity. 1t is left to our choice as
to which train shall carry US. We
going and it is possible to change
cars" and that is just what we want
to do this afternoon If we are on the
road that leads to hell. The last sta
tion will soon have been passed and if
We do not get On the heavenbOund
train we will be eternally lost, and it
seems that no rational man will
choose this course. The great trouble
with US is that we don't realize that
the time for decision is very short.
We must make personal decision.
Another great trouble is that we lack
a definite faith. We should know
that we are saved, although we may
not be able to point to the very hour,
but Christ says rye must be born
again." We do not have to wait until
the judgment day to know whether
we will go to heaven or hell. Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved.

WAS ARRESTED HERE.
t. b. THRASH, OF UNION, 8. c..
WANTED In CHARLOTTE.
Got 800 Under False Pretense-
Placed in Jail But the Jailer Turns
Him Out-Thrash a Good

Him Out-Thrash a Good
Patron of Bar-Rooms.
L. B. Thrash, of Union, S. c., was
arrested here about o'clock Saturday
afternoon on the charge of getting
$40 under false pretense from the
Southern Newspaper Union, of Char
lOtte.
Thrash was placed in jail, but at
1O:4O that night Jailer Davis, at the
request of a lawyer, opened the cell
door and allowed the prisoner to go
free. 1t was claimed that he was ar
rested without warrant, etc, and
that the jailer had no right to hold
him.
D. ]. Carter came here Saturday
morning from Charlotte looking for
Thrash. He said he had travelled
about 300 miles in search of Thrash,
and would have him if he had to 90
that much farther
Carter recognized Thrash on the
street shortly before his arrest. He
walked up and became engaged in a
conversation, when he proposed
that they go over to Smiths bar and
get drink After starting Carter
told Thrash to go on to the bar, that
he had to go in the drug store to get
some medicine for the headache. Car
ter went in the store and telephoned
to the police department for two Of
f1cers to go to Smiths bar at once
He went en- to the bar himself and
found Thrash there waiting. In a
few minutes officers Allen and Peo-
Piles came in. Carter ordered them
to arrest Thrash, which they did.
The latter began drawing his pistol
but was made to surrender by Peo-
pies who had his shooting iron drawn
and pointing toward Thrash's face
The latter claimed that he was not
going to shoot, but was just going to
turn bis pistol over to the bar mau.
After his arrest Thrash admitted
that he was guilty OF embezzlement,
but stated that he wanted to make a
compromise OF the matter, if it could
be done.
Application was made to Justice
Lehman for warrant but he said
that Thrash could be held until the
papers came from Charlotte. Thrash
was then placed in Jail and telegram
was sent to Charlotte notifying the
parties there Of his arrest. 1t is said
that Carter was a mad man when in-
formed that his man had been set
free.
Thrash has been in Winston some
time. THE SENTINEL learns that ne
was good patron of one of the bar
rooms. He gave one negro 81 90 several
days ago to sit on beer keg, covered
with ice and water, for half a day
He also bought and gave away several
pints of whiskey to darkies who would
agree to drink pint each without re
moving the glass or bottle from their
lips.
Mr.. Carter is still here He is
waiting for letter from his house to
tell him what action to take in regard
to the release Of Thrash. He says the
jailer was warned by the policemen
not to turn Thrash loose. There is
some talk Of bringing suit against the
Sheriff or his bondsmen for the re-
lease Of the prisoner.

Party Cannot Organize Senate With
out Aid of Independents.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Re-
publican Senators remained in caucus
an hour and quarter today discuss
ing the situation Of parties in the
Senate 1t was made evident to the
Republicans that they did not have
an organizing majority as the parties
now stood, and there was no one who
could assure the caucus that votes
could be expected from either the
Populist or silver Republican parties.
1t was also recognized in the caucus
that such men as Teller, of Colorado,
and Pettigrew, of South Dakota,
could not be removed from their chair
manShips and places on the appro-
priatiOnS committee any more than
could Mr.. Jones, of Nevada, without
solidifying the opposition OF the three
parties who can by combination or
game the Senate. For this reason
the advocacy of reorganization on
wholly Republican lines was aban-
dOned almost as soon as preached.
The general desire seemed to be to
secure such an organization as would
result in continuing the committees
in charge of Republicans with such
assistance as could be secured from
other sources.

BABY FOUND IN WELL
PLACED THERE BY AN UN-
KNOWN PARTY.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury Was That
The Child Was Born Alive; That
Death Was Produced by
Blow or by Strangulation.


Blow or by Strangulation.
A white infant was found ia we'll
in East Salem, outside Of the corpo-
rate limits, about o'clock Saturday
afternoon.
The well is on a lot owned by ex-
Sheriff A. Fogle. The house was
recently vacated by a colored family.
On Saturday Rees Poindexter, who
works for Mr.. Fogle, was helping to
clean the house for white family
who moved in that day. He drew
bucket of water and says few min
utes later a little white child looked
down in the we'll and discovered some
thing floating around on top Of the
water. Upon examination the colored
man found that it was child. By
the assistance Of other parties the
child was gotten out. At first it was
not known whether it was white or
black.
The child was removed late that
evening to the Mayors office in Salem,
where it was kept until Sunday
morning when post norton eXami-
Coroner Linville also held an in
quest, his jury being composed Of the
following named gentlemen: John
Fl. Tise. w. E Petree. D. T. Grouse,
H A. Womble, t. E. Davis and G. II.
Rights.
The verdict OF the jury was that the
child Ia GRID was born alive; that it
was case OF infauticide; that death
was either caused by blow upon the
head, received before death, or strang-
ulatiOn by drowning.
The only scar found was on the left
side Of the head. 1t is not known how
long the child was in the well. DIR.
Dalton says it did not live long after
birth.
The body was buried Sunday by
the county in the Liberty graveyard.
The cruel mother Of the child is not
definitely known. The Coroner's jury
were furnished with some evidence
which may lead to the arrest of the
guilty party.
The crime is horrible one and the
heartless mother if caught should be
punished to the full extent OF the
law-and she no doubt will be.
