TO BURN OLD CERTIFICATES
Eminent Domain Bill Killed In the
House-A Tie Vote and an
Appeal.
SENA1 T..

Ont NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. uds. July 81
Notification was received from the
House of the passage Of several bills,
including the adoption OF the confer
ence amendments to the appropriation
bills. The loan appropriation bill
came to the Senate in amended form.
The Senate failed to concur in the
amendments and the bill went to Con-
ference committee.
The Finance Committee reported on
the examination of the books OF the
Finance Department. They found the
books in excellent condition. Several
seeming differences in totals OF ac-
counts as made by the expert and as
found in the books were satisfactorily
explained. The Committee found the
surplus in the treasury correct as ac-
counted for in the report Of the FL
nance Department They also found
old issue silver certificates to the
amount OF $272,5O0. The committee
presented a JOINT resolution, which
was adopted. providing that commits
sion be appointed to count and verify
the issue and destroy the bills by fire.
The bill OF which notice was given
yesterday by Minister Cooper, passed
first reading, was read by title and re-
ferred to the Commerce Committee.
The bill provides for making Palaau
on Molokai, a port OF entry. NJ mister
Cooper explained that the Executive
saw no reason why Palaau should not
be made port of entry. The new
plantation at that point on the island
promised to be one of the largest en-
terprises in the Islands. 1t had ma
chinery on the way and could not be
landed unless II went through port.
1.ahaina was the nearest and 1t would
be no greater expense to the Govern
ment were there port of entry nj
Palaau for inspe ction Of cargoes.
The House bill to amend the opium
laws by eliminating the provision fol
payment OF one-hah the fines to in.
formers, was laid on the table on mo-
ton OF Senator Brown, who objected
to the bill on the ground that 1t would
deprive the Government OF the abilit,
to secure information against tn,
smugglers and dealers in opium. Nov
that the House had killed the opium
bill the fines system would be of grea
service.
The light wine and beer license bill
with amendments, came up from thu
House. Two principal amendment
were made to the bill. One gave tn,
authority fof issuing licenses to thu
Minister of the Interior and the Ex
ecutivo Council. Another removed thu
restriction limiting the number o.
licenses In Waikiki, Kalihi and Nuu
anu. Each OF these places may have
three licenses. The places where ligh
wine and beer are sold must be sit
uated at least two miles from higl

CURED in the amendments.
II was expected that the Rapit
Transit bill would come up for thirt
reading, as the Printing Committee re
ported II. The interpreter had the OF
ficial copy In his possession for trans
lation. II was explained, and the bill
could not legally be passed until boil

present.

EXPORTS TO SAVE WE'RE EARNEST.

Z
EXPORTS TO SAVE WERE EARNEST.
The efforts of many in the crowd
to have the prisoners sent to Edge
field Court House aud given reg
uiar trial were earnest and sincere.
Thore was no nook appeal about it.,
rs could be gathered from tho inter
course among the mon as they
lounged about waiting for develop,
ments. On the other hand. there
was no mock show Of bravado.
Many of the men there said that
someone had to suffer for the assas-
slnation Of their neighbor and they
meant every word Of it. There were
two old men, grey and grizzled,
Veterans Of tho war, who said but
little, but who were appealed to in
vain and whatever may be said of
the actioY, it cannot be credited to
the hot bi"od Of youth.
HOW ATKINSON LOOKS.
Mr.. j. o. Atkinson, the central
figure Of the tragedy, was present
during the entire transaction in the
church building. He seems to DO a
plain and straightforward farmer.
A hard working man, who spends
his life on his farm. His general
appearances is somewhat like that of
the pictures of "Stonewall" jackson.
Yesterday he wore rather faded
suit, pinned at the breast with a
safety pin. A day or two after the
killing Mr.. Atkinson had his arm
broken in tho gin, and no is now
wearing it in sling. This is the
second time he has had one Of his
arms broken
In the course Of the evidence it
was brought out that during the
general search about three bales OF
seed cotton were. found in the loft
of local colored preacher. He had
about an acre plot Of ground, and
the farmers about expressed their
great surprise that Deacon Sullivan
could raise three bales of cotton on
an acre. When asked whether his
father did not get his fees in seed
cotton, Luther said that his father
raised all Of the cotton in his loft on
the acre he cultivated.

HOW THE KILLING OCCURRED.

1t is remarkable how rapidly the
killing was accomplished. It was
done in almost an instant; certainly
quicker than it can be told. The
three prisoners were being marched
along under their guard. The grow
ing crowd from tho rear rushed
upon the prisoners and their guard
There was a brief strugYle for the
prisoners; they were told to run
this no doubt to separate the priso-
ners from the guard, and in flash
tho deadly voliey followed, and all
was over, except the finishing of the
job. The guards hardly know how
it oil happened, and when asked
about the inciacnt afterwards said
they did not know how the prisoners
were taken. 1t WAS az easy as fall
ing off OF log. 1t WAS near 10
O'Clock i'll the night when the killing
occurred. Th" guard with tho pria-
oners had gone inst beyond tho
bend leading up tho road towards
Edgefcld-not over three or four
hundred yards from the church.
Tho moon alone gave what light
there was for the transaction, and
that was somewhat yelled by clouds.
1t WAS entirely n night time affair,
and if the effort be over made 10
find tho guilty parties tho shades of
night will add materially to the diff
c1lty of recognition O. any of those
in the party. The negroes did not
say wcrd; they were not asked to
say anything, and about the only
murn'ur was the gureling sound
from Sullivan rs he rolled over on
his back in his death struggle.

been said in this correspondence, he

Mr.. Atkinson then stated that two
negroes, who wero suspected as know
ing something about who did the
dastardly deed had been arrested IL
few hours previous to our conversa-
ton, aud were locked up in the Jail
at the town Of Edgetield. They are
jim Smith and Squire Green.
He also stated that negro, John
Stuart, man lately discharged from
tho convict gang, had been seen com

with n single barrel shotgun on his
shoulder. Ho is suspected rs being
tho man wanted. Hs worked for
Mr. Atkinson few years ago, and
had small dispute with Mr. Atkin
son regarding the sale Of some seed
cotton. This may have been the
cause Of the deyillish deed, but it
was thought that the man had har-
bored nc hard feelings against Mr..
Atkinson on that account, for all had
been settled finally, and the man
had not rade any threats.
That is the only thing that Mr..
Atkinson can think Of that would
cause any one to have tho least hard
feelings against him, as people of the
county who know him have the
highest respect for him, and espec.
tally tho negroes, whom he has done
mary favors.

Columbia, October 2G.-The "Re.
publican Church" lynching, of which
full account was given in the New &
and Courier of today, was remarka-
bic in very many respects. 1t
showed the grim determination of
the whites Of that community; it nm
phasized the utter folly Of negro or
ganization for offensive purposes; it
showed the dogged purpose Of mon
bent upon vindication, as they con-
coived it, and 1t pointed out tho ne
cessity for speedy action in such
emergency cases. The crowd at Re-
publican Church was not to be
foiled. 1t went there for business,
and it was going to have blood, the
appeals and even tho arms Of friends
to the contrary notwithstanding.
VENGEANCE AS A DUTY.
Thoro were men, ordinarily level
headed and good citizens, who con
ceived it thcir duty to kill the slayera
Of Mrs. Atkinson. Why did they
regard it as a dutyf Because, as
they said, thor women had but small
protection in the dense colored pop
ulation, and if such crimes we're al
lowed to 40 unpunished theirs may
bo the next home Invaded by the as
, sassin. That was their conviction,
and it could not DO changed. During
the night tho crowd on tho outside
waiting on the deliberations of the
jury Of inquest became impatient. 1t
was thought the jury was only trif-
ling to gain time, to tire the crowd
so it would disperse, or to find some
way whereby tho prisoners could be
slipped away. Then there was talk
! Of breaking into the church and TAX
ing the prisoners by force to their
execution. a party was made up,
but did not make the propo sed attack
on the church, whore the prisoners
were put in refuge
CROWD BENT ON VENGEANCE.
Right or wrong there was do,
termined band of men at Republican
Church, which would in the end have
killed the negroes. They camo tc
kill, and left it for the jury Of in
quest to designate the guilty. The
jury wanted more time to get others
in the meshes-the crowd took ven.
geance on what was in sight. The
eloquent appeal Of ministers, Of ply
sicians, of officers, of respected citi
zens, were all in vain, indeed they
only strengthened the determination
Of those bent on vengeance for the
unmerciful assassination Of Mrs. At
kinson. [ don't like to say it, but
several wore the expressions heard
from mon which indicated that the
poor man had to protect himself
and was going to do 80, and it looked
as il tho rich, who were able to pro.
tect themselves, seemed always
against helping the poor when in
trouble.

here from Madrid say that the internal
disorders in the Spanish provinces con-
tinue.
Some demonstrations have taken place
at Granada, supposed to be due to the
opposition manifested towards the octroi
tax and local disputes, hut in view of
the rigorous censorship on all quest of

facts.
At Gargaria, in the province of BARGE
iona, a mob recently fired on the gend-

been composed of jailbirds, has appeared
at Banoe and Naldorres. Thus far the
efforts Of the authorities to capture them
have been futile.
