"And if they continue to take it away.

A Negro Whipped to Death and Sew
erHI Men Dangerously Wounded.
Atkins, Ark, June IA terrible race
war is in progress in Lee Township, Pope
county, five miles south of Atkins, in
which two or three men have already been
killed or fatally wounded, and the COM
munity is in a state of great excitement
with a more serious outbreak liable to oc-
cur at any moment.
The killed or fatally injured so far as
can at present be ascertained are:
WILL GAYLORD, colored, whipped to
death by a mob of whites.
JESSE NICHOLS, terribly cut with
knives by a negro, will probably die.
White man, name unknown, fatally shot
by a gang of negroes.
REGSEN EDGGE, white, shot by dep
uty constable, extent of injuries not
known.
CONSTABLE c. e. EDGGE, badly cut.
The trouble began Sunday night. when
three or four negroes attacked two white
men, Jesse Nickles and ]. r. Hodges, with
knives and pistols. A terrible fight en-
sued, In which young Nickels was cut.
Warrants had been issued for the negroes
on Monday. but they declared that they
would not be arrested.
Regsen Edgge, white. Joined in with the
negroes to help them resist arrest and
when officers went to the scene, Edgge at
tackled Constable Edgge with a knife,
and inflicted dangerous injury. George
Edgge. a deputy constable, succeeded in
arresting Edgge after he shot him in the
arm.
Last night one of the negroes, william
Gaylord who had participated In the riots.
was taken from his home by a mob, sup
posed to be composed OF white men. and.
after being stripped, was tied to post
and beaten into insensibility. He was stnl
alive, but unconscious when found. and
has since died.
The whole county is stirred up over the
affair and further outbreaks are looked
for at any moment.

CUT IN LIQUOR IN CAROLINA.
KNOCKED OUT OF IT'S MONOPOLY
THE STATE WILL SLASH PRICES.

The Authorities Claim the state VIII
Have an Advantage Over Other
Dealers In Being Able to Buy Its
Liquors in Bulk and Do Its own
BOttling-The Standing Army of
Constables to BE Dismissed ana
the Towns to he Called on TO
Check Illicit Sales.
Columbia, S. c.. June 1.-The state has
tried liquor dealing under monopoly, now
it is going into it on a cut-rate basis
Gov. Ellerbe promises to make a state
ment to the public tomorrow, and Attor-
ney General Barber talks evasively of ap-
peals to the supreme court but it is rea-
sonably certain that the course of the dis
pensary has already been mapped out.
The authorities have no hope of Judge
Simonton being reversed; nor do they see
what an extra session Of the legislature
can accomplish in lodging the legal 1ues-
tions, while the people are in no mood to
stand the expense of an extra session.
The tax levies and appropriations have
been made with view of certain dispen-
sary profits, so with hundreds of thou
sands tied up in whisky, it would mean
almost financial disaster to shut down un-
til that liquor is disposed of. So the au-
thorities propose to meet competition by
cutting prices to the lowest notch, dis
charging the little standing army of con-
stables, that have cost from $4,000 to $780,
900 per annum, and call on the cities and
towns to check illicit sales, and perhaps
impose the metropolital police system If
they fail to obey. Constables have been
ordered to stop all seizures and report
here to the governor tomorrow.
The authorities claim the state will
have an advantage over other dealers in
being able to purchase in bulk and bottle
the liquor, while others must buy 1t bot
tied, importing in original packages.
Washington, June 1.--When Senator Till
man was asked to-day for an expression
concerning the decision of Judge Simon
ton in the South Carolina dispensary
case he stated that the state would un-
doubtedly appeal the case to the supreme
court of the United States.
"There is nothing else to do" he said,
$50 far as this case is concerned. The
state has exhausted her present resources
and must wait upon the supreme court
and congress"
He said the decision practically annull-
ed the Wilson act of 1890, and that if it
should be sustained by the supreme court
nothing would be left but to get congress
to pass another law that could be made
binding This, Senator Tillman says, he
will use his best efforts to accomplish
but on account of the method of pro-
ceeding in the House, he has very little
hope of success during the present ad-
ministration. He thinks the Senate could
be induced to act, if there was any posi-
biity of getting action in the House.
1--WE don't surrender the principle he
said, "and I shall take some step here
to maintain it, but just what 1 shall do
and when I shall attempt to do anything
will necessarily depend upon circum-
stances"

EASTERN AFFAIRS DRIFTING.
The Sultan Playing "a Deep Game to
Retain ThessaIy.

London, June 1.-Eastern affairs appear
to have reached che drifting stage. The
exact position as to the armistice negotia-
object of Turkey to create delays and to
discover any latent weakness in the Eu-
ropean concert.
During the council of the ministers at
the Vildiz kiosk, the peace conditions
have certainly been discussed. but all
mention of Thessaly is studiously avoided.
The assumption seems to be that Thes-
sally belongs to Turkey by conquest, and
that there is nothing more to be said on
the subject. The powers will have to
show a united and very energetic front
before the sultan will recede from his po-
sition.
In the meantime, in order to remove
the impression that she rejects all the
peace proposals, Greece has sent another
note to her representatives abroad repeat
ing that she is prepared to acquiesce in
the decision Of the powers, but that the
payment of a large indemnity is impossi-
BILE.
Queen Olga and the Princess Sophia left
Athens by the royal yacht en- route for the
camp of the crown prince, to participate
in the celebration of the anniversary of
his natal day. 1t is reported in some quar-
ters that the crown prince viii sail shortly
for London.
Edhem Pasha having sent the aide-de-
camp whom the sultan appointed to watch
him, back to Constantinople under escort
as a spy, the officer was forthwith pro-
NOTED by the sultan
A dispatch to the Times from Constanti-
nople says there is strong reason for be-
lievlng that Bulgaria is exerting an infiu-
ence to induce the sultan to transform
Macedonia into an autonomous province
under an imperial prince.

CHESS TOURNAMENT A TIE.
Mr.. ShafrOth saves the American
Side From Defeat.

Washington, June 1.-The international
chess match between members of the
House of Representatives, and the English
House of Commons to-day resulted in a
draw each side having won and lost two
games, and one being drawn.
When the match was concluded by Mr..
Shafroth winning his game and tying the
score, hearty cheers were given on each
side of the water for the President and
her majesty, the queen.
The games yesterday resulting In win
ming by Mr.. Bodine for America and a
game to the credit of England, won by
Mr.. Plunkett, three games remained TO
be finished to-day. Among the interested
spectators were Sir Julian Pauncefote and
many attaches of the diplomatic corps.
The games resulted in the loss of one by
Mr.. Plowman and the drawing of the
game between Mr.. Handy and Mr.. Wilson.
1t then remained for Mr. Shafroth to save
the day for America by winning his game,
and the deepest interest was manifested
in every move made.
He started under the necessity OF maxi
ing six moves in thirteen minutes, but soon
caught up and had time to play studious-
w. When the announcement OF the result
Of his game came. the cheers OF the spec
tators filled the room for several minutes.
The time made yesterday in transmitting
messages tn regard to plays was surpassed
to-day, when a message was sent from
Washington over the lines OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and the Anglo
American Company, a move made in Lon
don, and the answer sent back In forty
seconds

SENATE TO GO SLOW ON SUGAR.
Itllman's Proposed Investigation
Likely TO Hang Fire.

Washington, June 1.-The Senate com

expenses of the Senate, TO which was re-
ferred the Tillman resolution providing for
an investigation OF the charges that sem
ators have been speculating in sugar
stocks, held meeting to-day and decld-
ed TO take time TO look into the charges
to a certain extent before reporting the
resolution back.
The fact that Senator Smith, the only
member Of the Senate mentioned by name
as having engaged in such speculation,
to-day made denial to the Senate OF
the charges, was noted in the committee
meeting, and this fact coupled with Sem
ator Aldrich's general denial on behalf of
the finance committee, was taken into con-
siderauon in connection with the resolu-
ton and there was some talk in the com
mittee of an indefinite postponement as
the wisest course. The committee, there
fore, concluded to postpone making any
recommendation for the present.

given the friends OF the House scheduIs
assurances that the House rate VIII be
finally incorporated In the bill. This ia
a decided victory for the rice men, and ID
proves the effectiveness OF the work ac-
complished by tho delegation from
Charleston and Savannah that recently
visited Washington and conferred with
members OF the Senate on the subject.
The argument set forth in support Of the
House schedule were unanswerable. and
when the committee reaches that item.
the Senate amendment will be withdrawn

also scored point In the interest OF the
china and earthenWare schedule. The
Senate committee proposed to reduce the
duty on common yellow, brown and gray
earthenware from 45 10 25 per centum al
valorem. Senators Clay and Bacon have
urged retention OF the House duty be-
cause Of the large interest involved In
many Of the southern states. To-day thew
were rewarded for their effort by sena-
tor Aldrich, who withdrew the Senate
amendment and allowed the House rate

From the Commissioners.
Washington, June 1.-While no official
communication, either letter or report,
has come to Washington as yet from Mr..
Calhoun, the special counsel sent by the
President to Cuba in connection with the
Ruiz case, private advices received here
from him indicate that he expects to
leave Havana for Washington next Thurs
day or Friday. He will go directly to New
York by steamer instead of coming back
from Tampa by rail as he went, and it is
expected that he will reach this city about
next Sunday. 1t is said at the department
that no official report upon Cuba is to be
expected from Mr.. Calhoun, that all he
Will have to submit officially will bear upon
the Ruiz case, which was the subject of
his official appointment, and that any
thing he will have to communicate re-
specting the general conditions in Cuba as
affected by the war will be in the shape
of verbal report to the President
AS for the Ruiz case, ii is now claimed
that there will be two reports, but in the
absence of an exact knowledge as to the
points of disagreement it is not possible
for the officials at the state department
to predict the next step to be taken in the
matter, although it is certain that it will
not be allowed to rest on the record so far
taken.
