COOPER CAPTURED.
Promptly Hanged to the Limb of
aSweet Gum free.

Sumter, S. G. Jan. S.-Ever since
the news reached here of Cooper's
murders at Lynchburg the peo-
pie have been active. The chase
was kept up with undated ardor
all of last night. About s o'clock
last night a telegram was received
from Mayes'ille saying that Coop
per had been seen Oh the streets
of that town, going in the direc-
ton of Magnolia. He openly
avowed that he was going there to
kill Capt. D. e. KocIs, DR.. 0. A.
Darby and severl others, conse-
quently everybody was looking for
him in that section. This, how
ever, proved incorrect.

to sweet gum tree. 1t was a small
tree, but one of the men climbed
up. The others lifted the body of
the murderer and the man above
tied the rope. When the body was
let down 1T was found that the feet
touched the ground. 1t was there
fore necessary to lift him and tie
the rope again. This time the
body swung two feet clear OF 'he
ground. His face was turned to
the swamp and his back was to the
road. His last words were curses
At first he didn't move muscle
and was thought to be dead.
The men then drew off to one
side of the read and fired first one
by one, the body swaying as the
bullets hit it. At the first fire
Cooper jerked his lie arm up about
his breast. The firing be- anne gen.
eral and indiscriminate; in few
moments the body was riddled.

There is grave apprehension on that
many of our democratic members
in the lower house of congress will
be unseated. That body is con-
trolled by republicans, and they
seem to be bending every effort in
this direction. Special reasons
will be and are given for unseat-
ing in special cases, but South
Carolina is particularly Interested
in that clause of the federal con-
stitution which declares that when
in any state the franchise is re-
stricted, "except for participation
in reb> llion or other crime" the
states vote for the presidency and
its representation in congress
shall be reduced in proportion to
the number of adult male citizens
debarred from voting. Should
this rule be applied to South Caro-
lima we would have only three rep
resentatives instead of seven, and
five electoral votes instead of nine.

Tampa, Fla, Aug. 2.-The story tele-
graphed from Havana last week about
an attack by insurgents on the sub
urhs of that city is confirmed by pas
sengers who have just arrived from
Havana. The attack referred to was
made OH the little village of Marnanao,
about ten miles southwest of the city
and the terminus of the antiquated and
dilapidated Marnanao railroad. The
engagement was short and desperate.
Forty nine Spaniards were killed and
120 wounded; two Cubans were killed
and forty wounded. The inhabitants
of the town fed for their lives leaving
the insurgents in complete possession.
They sacked the place and secured $4O,-
0O0 in gold besides large quantity Of
SUI plies that they could not carry off.
1t is said that the widest terror reigns
in Havana, and that the well-to-do in
habitants are leaving as fast as local
laws will permit
