MYSTERY Wells A MURDER.

Valdosta, Ga, Nov. 12.-The news of a
terrible. and at the same time mysterious,
tragedy was brought to this city to-day
from the northern section of Echols coun-
ty, just over the line from here.
The victim was Steve Carter, one OF thu
best known and most popular men In the
county. He was a quiet inoffensive citi-
zen without an enemy, so far as any one
knew. Yet he was shot down in his dooR
last night. as he went out on the porch
after a drink OF water.
Parties in the neighborhood say that two
gun shots and two pistol shots were heard
about 3 o'clock followed by the blowing
of horns as an alarm to the neighbors
Those who arrived upon the scene hrse
found Carter dfenched In blood and dead.
A profound mystery surrounded the kill
ing, Carter had never had any trouble
with any one, but by hard work had
managed to accumulate good deal Of
property He was about 50 years OF age
Ills tragic death recalls another thae
happened in the same section two or three
years ago, when the husband of Carter's
last wife was shot down IN his home az
mysteriously as was the tragedy OF last
night. The mans name was Frank Coi-
son, and he, too. was a prosperous farmer.
For some years he and his wife were sep
arated, the wife living with her son-ln-
law. One night Colson went out of HIS
house for something, and was shot down
on his porch. Some time afterwards Mrs.
Colson was married to Carter. The mar
rage was blessed with one child, and they
lived happily together so far as Is known.
The tragedy of last night has caused a
supposltion that the murderer of Colsou
was also the murderer of Carter.
A citizen OF that county said to tho

ter and his large family connection, the
tragedy may be sifted to the bottom, and
a reign of terror may follow, as Carters

case in their own way.

Washington, Nov. 12-Except in the I'M

race rioting in the Carolinas, it is alto.
gether improbable that the government
will interfere by force or otherwise.
The Attorney General had another con-
ference with the President this morning
in regard to the matter, and the conclusion
was promptly reached that, as the demon
STATIONS were not directed against the col
duties as such, the government had no au-
tbority under the constitution or laws to
exercise its federal authority.
Collector Tolbert was shot while away
fom his home and on business entirely
disconnected from that of his office, and
under these circumstances the government.
It is said, has not the shadow of a right
to interfere. If the collector had been
shot in the discharge of his official duties
and in an effort to enforce the laws of
the United States the case would have
been very different and the duty of the
government would have been clear.
In the present case, however It is said
the lawless acts of the mob were not dl-
rected against the execution of the laws
Of the United States. but against the in
dividual. The case would have been the
same had Tolbert been shot on the high
way by a robber.
Administration officials have no SYM
pathy with the Carolina rioters, and re-
gard their acts with adherence, but up to
this time, it is said, there is no evidence
that would warrant any interference by
the government.

sent the following telegram to the assist
ant United States attorney at Anderson,

CABINET MEETING YESTERDAY.
Cablegram Sent To Judge Day - Adj
mirnI SchIey Presents Report.

mtTnI SchIey Presents Report.
Washington, Nov ia special cabinet
meeting which was called by the President
this morning lasted until y o'clock. II was
devoted almost entirely to a discussion
of a cablesram received from the peace
commissioners at Paris and the report OF
the evacuation commission at Porto Rico
which was personally presented by Admiral
Schley.
Owing to the fact that a cabinet meeting
on Saturday Is quite unusual many con-
jectural reports were afloat of the urgent
and critical character of the subjects con-
sdered. But the members of the cabinet
stated most positively at the close of the
session that nothing of critical or dis
turbing character had developed at Paris
or had been under consideration.
The text of cablegram TO be sent to
the peace commission at Paris In response
to one from Judge Day was framed. IL In
volved no new or immediate crisis. The
Spanish commissioners had asked until a
day next week in which 20 make answer
to the note recently submitted by the
Americans. Although the administration Is
becoming somewhat impatient of the de-
lays to the work of the commissioners oc-
casioned by the procrastination OF the
Spaniards, the delay In this instance will
not be objected TO- though Il may meet
with an animation that the discussion has
reached a point where definite results are
expected without further unnecessary loss
of time.
Admiral Schley's visit brought up the
Porto Rico question. The admiral, who was
accompanied by Secretary Long, was IN
vited to participate in the discussion, the
report was an interesting recital OF all the
circumstances of American occupation, but
the report itself was not given out.
Concerning Cuba, a definite conclusion
was arrived at by the cabinet to open q
port on the western coast of the Island
probably at Cienfuegos about Dec ], la
order to allow the large sugar planters to
get in their machinery and begin work on
the new sugar crop.
The situation in the Carolnans was re-
ferred to, only incidentally the attorney
general making the statement that no evil
dence had yet reached him which would
warrant the federal government in inter-
fering.
