"COME OWE AND HELPn
SAYS OUR SISTER STATE.
Terrible Situation in North Caro-
lima. Marion County Asked t"
Furnish Five Hundred Mca.

y travelling man who came in
from Wilmington last night said
that affairs were in terrible shape
there. Today is the last day on
which citizens may register for
the election, and the negroes in
the county have registered 216
more votes than the white people.
The latter arc determined to carry
the election, however.
The whites have a Colts mount
ed rifle which discharges not less
than five bullets n second. and
4SO GER minute mpximum. In
addition they have a thousand
rifles. The negroes have received
"a consignment of muskets from
boston. The whites spent yester-
day in looking for these rifles. :,
and were to make an organized
hunt for them last night.
This same gentleman said that
Sheriff Evans of Marion county
had received a message from the
citizens of Robeson county asking
for 500 men to 90 over and help
them. 1t was reported that the
negroes had organized to rescue
the nine neg,oes from the Jail at
Ashpole.
On Tuesday November 9Th, a
black cloud, a cloud of death, will
hang like a pail over cur sister
State. They may cry out to
South Carolina "Come over and
help U.S." and the South Caro-
linlans in the border counties
will probably 60.
Governor Russell, Republican,
has been notified that if he is in
Wilmington on election day, he
will attend the very next funeral
in the city, and will be in a pri-
vate box in front wagon. Other
Republican leaders have been
warned to leave the State within
10 days. The State.

FOURTEEN WERE KILLED
Th" Riots at Harperville, Miss. -,
'at an End The Results.

Meridia0, Miss, Oct. 25. .-
fourteen is the number of ne
groes killed in the Harperville
race riot up to tonight. The
bodies Of three more victims were
found in the woods today, which
increase the list TO that number.
The negroes who fled to the
swamps have made good their
escape, and the race conflict is
now at an end. One of the ne.
groes who was wounded in the
first fight at Bill Burke's house
surrendered today at Walnut
Grove. He will be taken to the
Merldian Jail, where the other
prisoners are confined for safe
keeping until circuit court con,

Presto! Change.

The turn of affairs in the First
South Carolina regiment is pc
culiar. Lieutenant Colonel Till
man, at the sacrifice of his friend-
ly relations with his fellow Off
GERS, became the champion of the
privates and pressed for the dis
bandment of the regiment. Sena-
tor Tillman took up the cause Of
his nephew and worked for dis
bandment. The war department
acqniesced and the regiment was
ordered to be mustered out.
Day before yesterday Lieuten
ant Colonel Tillman was promo oted
to the colonelcy of the regiment,
a post made vacant by the death
of the lamented Alston; and i'm
mediately there followed his re-
cancellation with the officers with
whom he had been so lately ut
war, and the charges against him
were withdrawn. The same eve.
ming the officers determined to seek
to have the regiment retained in
the service, and yesterday q dele
cation of them apparently with
the approval of Col. Tillman,
made a pilgrimage to Senator
Tillman' S home, to enlist his ef,
forts in securing the retention OF
the regiment. Senator Tillmar
expressed his Willingness to do SO
but with the understanding that
the men would not be compelled
to stay in the service against their
will.
This is curious twist, and il
deserves and will doubtless com
mand the interested scrutiny OF
the public eye.
We wait to see who will cham
pion the cause of the poor pri,
Yates, who had such influential
friends at court before Lieuten
ant Colonel Tillman became colo.

ENGINEER DEAD IN HIS CAB
Express Train Rushes Along for
20 Miles Before it was Known.

Susquehanna, Pa, Oct. %
When the night express train No.
~, eastbound, arrived at this sta
tion at midnight last night, Henry
Kingsley, of Susquehanna, was
found dead in the cab, with his
head crushed. After the train
left Bingham, % miles west of
here, trainmen and others noticed
that the engineer failed to give
the usual signals at crossings and
at small stations, and that the
train was running at an unusual
speed. Fireman Cowgirl noticed
that the whistle was not blown for
this station, and going forward
into the CAB found the dead engin-
eer. The train had run at a ter
rife speed 20 miles without an en-
gineer. There were over 200 pas
sengers aboard. 1t is supposed
that the engineer was hit by a wa
ter crane at point just east of
Binghampton
Engineer Kingsley was one of
the most reliable engineers on the
Erie road. He leaves a widow and
several children.

The lynching in Edgefeld must
be deplored and condemned, no
matter what the counter accusa-
tions of the victims might seem
to prove. Brought to trial before
an Edgefeld jury they could not
if guilty have escaped the legal
execution they deserved. The
killing of them by a mob is
equivalent to an admission either
that a foul crime would 60 un-
punished by the jurors of the
county or that the evidence was
insufficient to establish their guilt.
