Element Of the demands of the United
States. But as the day advanced the
fact took more and more definite shape
on the news from Washington that the
Spanish government had, on the con

necessarily to bc that the whole ques.

resort to force. American securities afte

Chicago, Ills. April 1.--Wheat to-day
advanced and parted company with tht
stock market. Heavy sales of cast
wheat by Letter and cthers for ship

home overcome any sympathy with a
downward trend of stocks due to feai
of hostilities between Spain and the
United States. To-day's trading resulted
in IA gain of u cent a bushel in July

THE OFFENSIVE EDITORIAL.
The Article that Caused the Trouble
in Wilmington.

The following is the editorial pub
lished in the Wilmington Record
that caused the destruction of the news
paper plant and the banishment of the
Negro editor Manly from that city:
eve suggest that the whites guard
their women more closely, thus giving
no opportunity for the human fend, be
he white or black. You leave your
goods out doors and then complain be-
cause they are taken away. Poor white
men are careless in the matter Of pro-
tecting their women, especially On
farms. They are careless Of their con-
duct toward them, and our experience
among the poor white people in the
country teaches that the women Of that
race are not any more particular in the
matter of clandestine meetings with
colored men than are the white men
with colored women. Meetings Of this
kind go on for some time, until the wo-
mans infatuate on or the mans bold
ness brings attention to them and the
man is lynched. Every Negro lynched
is called big, burly, black brute,
when in fact many Of those who have
thus been dealt with had white men
for their fathers and were not only not
black and burly, but were sufficiently
attractive for white girls Of culture and
refinement to fall in love with them as
is we'll known to all.

A EertiliZer Trust.

The Spartanburg Herald tells Of a
great trust that is being organized, and
which will have great bearing on the
industrial welfare of South Carolina.
The Herald says: Every fertilizer
company from Baltimore to Key West,
of Importance, passeI into the hands Of
one gigantic concern, known as the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company.
This is trust, if there is such thing.
It is combination of capital
formed for the purpose of controlling
production and price, in restraint Of
trade. If Attorney General Bellinger
will tackle this monster and display
the same amount of force and fire he
used on the Broxton Bridge case, he
will be named for governor two years
from now with practically no opposi-
ton. There is law in this state against
trusts. 1t ought to be made effective
or else be repealed. We believe it can
be made effective. "

The Deadly Hot Supper.

The time for the deadly hot supper
among the colored population has
arrived, and we may expect to hear from
time to time of the sudden taking off Of
some of those who attend these danger
Gus places of amusement. The first
hot supper of this season was held at
the house Of Charles Zeigler, in the
town of Woodford, on last Friday night,
and as result Charles Coleman has
made the journey to ''that undiscov.
cred country from whose bourn no
traveller returneth." He was induced
to take this long journey by John Will
liams, who was assisted in the argument
with lightwood knot. Magistrate G..
W. Dannelly, actingas coroner, held an
inquest over the remains Of Coleman
when the above facts were elected.
Williams stands good chance Of fol-
lowing Coleman by the rope route: 1t
is always pretty safe to count on losing
at least one colored citizen when hot
supper is held.-Times and Democrat.

SEVERAL SHOT.
~Tolbert and Several Democrats Am
bushed and Wounded.

The sequel to the tragedy at Phoenix
developed in the afternoon Of election
day.
John R. Tolbert, the veteran leader
Of the Republicans Of upper Carolina,
was dangerously wounded about sun
down. With his nephew, the son Of
Charles Tolbert, he was on his way
from Bradley's home when he was fired
on from the roadside. he was danger
ousiy wounded and the boy was killed.
A party of armed Negroes were follow
ing their old leader and they returned
the fire of the white men who did the
shooting. Some one was hurt, but the
name cannot be ascertained ats p. m.
Three young white men returning
from Phoenix about dark were fred on
from ambush and were badly wounded.
DR.. G. ?. Neil and DR.. B. W. Cobb are
with them, and the citizens are max

NJ. J. Younger, young merchant
of Greenwood was wounded in the foot.
Cresswell Fleming, prominent young
farmer was badly hurt. Stuart Miller,
member of Co. "a, " First South Can
olina volunteer, infantry son of Col.
G. Med. Miller, was wounded. These
young men are at Mr.. 4. c. Stock
mans six miles from Greenwood.
FOUR NEGROES KILLED.
A company about 40 strong was or
ganized atGreenwood Wednesday morn
Ing to make peaceable settlement OF
the affair. They visited Piney Grove
church and met crowd resting, about
300 strong. who had several Negro pri-
soner. They went to the Harris place
and found the house apparently de-
serted. Two men entered and found
John Tolbert and his sister alone. Tol-
bert was in a pitiable condition and
can't live.
The company secured the swamps for
bands of Negroes reported gathering,
but found none. They returned via
Rehoboth church where crowd of two
or three hundred had eight Negroes.
The crowd was commercially peaceful
at first, but soon fired up. They were
quieted twice, but finally one Negro
was dragged out in the road and 100
shots were fired into his body.
At this time two ran one way, two
another, leaving three on log, who
were Immediately lynched. Negroes
are scarce, but it is thought that they
are gathered in some secluded
place. The crowd has not dispersed.
Excitement is at the highest. One
Negro was wounded running across a
cotton patch.
TWO MORE NEGROES KILLED.
Two more negroes were killed in
Greenwood Thursday. That morning
the crowd which started from Phoenix
met near Rehoboth church, the scene

FAST TRAIN ROBBED.
FAST TRAIN ROBBED.
Eight Robbers Were in the Gang That
Did the Work.

The Great Northern through train,
which passed through Fergus Falls at
7.30 p. M, was held up and robbed
about FIVE miles west Of there. There
were eight robbers in the gang, all well
armed. Two Of them evidently board
ed the blind baggage in that city. The
train was scarcely out of the town when
these two climbed over the tender, and
presenting revolvers, told engineer
Brace and his fireman to stop at lone
ly spot near the Pelican river bridge.
Arriving at this place, the train was
stopped and the engineer and fireman
were ordered to leave the cab. The
other members Of the gang rushed from
~the woods and boarded the express car.
All wore handkerchieis over their faces.
The gang was regularly organized and
went by numbers.
When the train stopped, the conduc.
tor and brakeman started forward to
find out what the trouble was, but the
bandits fired number Of shots and
warned them to keep back. They then
compelled the express messenger to
leave the car, and while three or four
stood guard, the others proceeded to
blow the safes.
The local safe was destroyed, and it
was thought they succeeded in secur-
ing considerable money, but the exact
amount cannot be learned. The
through safe was drilled and dynamited
four charges being used. The jacket
was blown of, but it vas found impos-
sible to reach the inner part and get at
the cash. They worked over it nearly
two hours, holding the train for that
length Of time, but gave up finally and
joining their companions on the OUT
side. started south.

THEY PROMPTLY RESIGNED
And Turned the City Government Over
to the Whites.

After day Of bloodshed and turbu-
lence Wilmington has subsided tonight
into comparative peacefulness. Eight
Negroes were killed and three white
men wounded during the day, one of
them William Mayo, seriously.
Tonight the city is<in the hands Of a
new municipal government and law and
order is being established. This after
noon the board of aldermen resigned
one by one. As each alderman vaca-
ted, the remainder elected successor,
named by the citizens committee. un-
til the entire board was changed legal
ly. They resigned in response to pub
lie sentiment The new board is COM
posed of conservative Democratic citi-
Zens.
The mayor and chief Of police then
resigned and the new board elected
their successors, according to law.
Ex-Representative Waddell was elected
mayor and z. G.. Parmelee chief of po-
lice. The first act of the new govern
ment was to swear in 250 policemen,
chosen from the ranks of reputable
white citizens. They are vested with
all the authority Of the law and will
take charge Of the city. The citizens
will remain on guard, however,
throughout the town to prevent posi-
bic attempts at incendiarism.
The new government will devote its
attention to restraining recklessness
among the whites as we'll as keeping
down lawlessness among the Negroes.
Further trouble Of a general or serious
nature is not expected. Soon after the
meeting Mr.. George Rountree received
telegram from Governor Russell, say
ing that he would use all his efforts to
influence the mayor and city council to
resign if that would restore peace.
Mr.. Rountree sent the following re-
ply:
Mayor and aldermen have resigned.
Two hundred and fifty special police
men sworn in. Law will be maintain
ed and peace restored" Mr.. Rountree
is prominent attorney here and a
member Of the Democratic campaign
committee.
