JOHN NEWTON RELEASED.
Was Charged With Having Fradu-
IcntIy Obtained "A Valuable Letter.


John Newton, colored, of Oliver. was
given a hearing before lie United States
commissioner yesterday on the charge of
having fraudulently obtained valuable
letter from the postoffice at oliver and APP
propiatiug its contents to his own use.
It seems that the letter was intended for
]. NJ. Newton of Mil Ray. But j. M.
Newton had never before received any
mail at Oliver. The letter addressed TO
]. NJ Newton contained a check for some
thing over $40. 1t was delivered to An.
drew Newton, John Newtons father and
he turned il over TO John. There was
nothing in the letter but the check. New
ton brought the check to Savannah ana
had it cashed.
He was afterward arrested in Screven
county upon a state warrant, and as there
was no jail at hand in which TO put him
he was chained 80 a tree by his neck,
and remained there, he states, for four
days. He was finally released on a writ
Of habeas corpus.
Newton was then arrested on a warrant
from the United States Court, but the evil
dence in the case was not sufficient upon
which to hold him. Newton did not get
the letter from the postofice, but from his
father. under which state of facts it is
decided chat any offense In such connec-
lion is one for the state courts as no law
of the United states is violated Mr.. Hen
~ NJ. Boley, who cashed the check, could
not say whether the defendant was the
man who brought IL to him or not An the
parties 10 the transaction have been reim-
bursed, and nobody is out anything. The
commissioner decided that a case had not
been made out, and Newton was allowed
10 go

Col. Lester VIII Not PrOphesy Com
gross Coming Session.
Hon. Rufus +. Lester will leave for
Washington some time this week to be
present at the opening of the December
session of Congress. When seen by a
Morning News reporter yesterday Col.
Lester said he had no opinion to express
as to the probable action of the Repubn-
can majority upon the several important
national questions Likely to come before
that Congress.
The coming session is that of the Fifty
fifth Congress, which holds over until
March 4. Unless the President calls an ex-
ira session after March 4 the new Con-
gress will not meet until December a year
hence. AS the Republicans have only
eleven majority in the new Congress an
extra session is not likely
Col. Lester said that he did not know
whether he would accompany President
Mckinley on his visit to Savannah or not.
This will depend upon circumstances. Mrs.
Lester viii accompany Col. Lester to
Washington.

GIVING SONG OF the shirt..

With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread
Stitch! Stitch Stitch!
I'm poverty, hunger and dirt,
And still with voice of dolorous pitch,
Would that its tone could reach the rich,
She sang this Song of the shirtr"
Hood.
Would that this song could reach the in
nermost heart of those men, who living in
comfort and seeming afiuence now, may
soon die, leaving such heritage. Bitter,
indeed is the lot of the wife and mother
who is left dependent or in want. Better,
far better, would it be to make assurance
doubly sure and spare no effort until
policy for a sum adequate to the needs
OF dependent ones has been secured. A
policy in the Massachusetts, Mutual, or
ganized in 1851, the leading Massachusetts
company, is the most desirable, because 1t
has behind 1t, not only the guarantee of
the company, always reliable and staunch,
but the laws of the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts, which do more to protect poi
icy-holders than the laws of any other
state in the union. Many find this out too
late. Why not examine these laws before
placing your insurance? II will do no
harm, and we send them, together with
specimen policy and other interesting lit
erature, at your request. Write to-day,

Going to Enforce the Law.

The city authorities arc enforcing the
ordinance against persons leaving their
horses and mules unsecured ON the
public square or streets of the city.
The least fine fixed by the Ordinance
is five dollars, and The Mayor instructed

cured stock and have IL negro to hold
them until the arrival of the owner
who could then pay % cents to the dar-
key for holding his animal or give bond
for his appearance before tbs Mayors

quarter is always paid, rather than
take chances on paying So. We warn
our friends who ire in the habit of
leaving their stock unhitched, oven for

will take charge of their teams. The
present mild reminder of 25 cents will
be discontinued as soon as tho public
is notified of the enforcement of the
ordinance, when offenders will hav1s To

Orange McGreer, colored. was forced to
nse his pistol with deadly effect.
Several days ago McGreer, who was a
Lad character, met A. j. Williams, one
of our citizens, in tho street Both were
driving vehicles, and McGreer took occa-
sion to abuse Mr.. Williams in the seyerest
terms because he MIR Williams would
not give McGreer all the street He even
jumped from his buggy and, arming
himself with rocks, started for Mr.. Will
lians, who drove of with his little chill
dren for the safety of their lives. II was
not until to-day that McGreer came to
town since the difficulty. and when Officer
johnson went to arrest him near the
Southern Hallway depot. McGreer, who
was armed with "a hoe, struck Johnson
three severe blows, breaking the hoe
handle into splinters. Johnson shot
three times after the Negro had struck
him. One ball took effect in the left side
and produced death in less than three
minutes. Mr. Johnson received some
severe bruises about thu head and arms.
The sheriff OF Anderson was telephOned
for. Immediately after the killing Mr..
johnson surrendered TO Magistrate Acker.
y jury OF inquest WAS held this afternoon,
and tho ror0ner'a jury returned YER
diet "that the deceased came to his death
from II pistol shot wound st tho hands of
j. a. Johnson, AN officer of the law, in
tho discharge Of his duty and that the
killing was entirely justifiab!e and in
soil dofcnce.'
Mr.. Johnson went to Abbeville this
afternoon accompanied by his attorney,
Hon. G.. T.. Prince, and Judge Klugh
granted him hail in tho sum of 900
Cilizens horo were much excited to-
night by the appearance in town Of many
negroes and there were rum0rs of pur-
pose TO burn the town. McGreer has a
wide connection and his relatives are
said 10 be rHucii incensei by his death.
Two hundred white men marched over
here from Pelzer at & o'clock to give help
if it WAS needed. There was no trouble.
