suit Of the action of the directors is not
yet known. The action of the stock in
this country was a reflection of that in
London, the stock being weak nearly all
day. The general expectation has been
that the first dividend on the stock would
be l-2, but there were fears today that
even this may not be declared. They
were probably unfOunded. Many of the
careful market prophets are bullish on

across barrel, he tried to make them
confess by belaboring them with a
strap. He whipped them until he was
exhausted, and then ordered privates
to continue the torture. Several times
the poor boys said they would show
where the pistol was, if released but
when they were unable to find it, they
renewed their protestations of inno-
cence and said that they had only
confessed to secure temporary relief
from punishment. A rope was put
around the neck of one Of the boys,
and he was threatened with death.
Buckles on the straps brought blood
repeatedly. After a while hickory
sticks were substituted for the straps.
The pistol was not found. The junior
officers declined to interfere for they
had no authority over Tillman. Next
day, however, several of them swore
out warrants against the brutal colonel,
charging him with assault and battery,
and other charges have been forwarded
to Washington with a request for a
courtmartial. Colonel Tillman had a
preliminary hearing Wednesday after.
noon, and the facts above referred to
were testified to by different witnesses.
After the preliminary Colonel Tillman
was seen by reporter for the Colum-
bia State. He said: "For the time
being I have said all I intend to say.
The whole thing is patched up affair
directed against me by officers who
have lost their jobs-largely by men
who never before made so much money
in their lives. I understand their
scheme and am ready to meet them.
Most of them will be courtmartialed
on far graver charges than have been
brought against me. If they desire to
array themselves against me for some
thing for which I was not responsible
and enter the lists in behalf of Negro
thief, four times on the chaingang for
stealing, they can do so. Water most
often seeks its level. They shall not,
however, fool the public into believing
that this Negro was brutally whipped.
1t is not true. He is as sound today
as he ever was, save, perhaps, a little
sore. But please understand that while
I did no whipping myself, before any
private shall suffer, am ready to
assume all responsibility. Let them
crack their whip and the lash will hit
close to the handle"

Death of Mrs. McMaster.


Mrs. F. w. McMaster, wife of Colo
mel F. w. McMaster, formerly of the
Seventeenth regiment, S. G. ", died
at her home in Columbia last Wednes-

She stood high in the social and re-

Sensational Spartanburg Story.
Spartanburg Herald 1t is reported
that few days ago two Negro men
were lynched in Cross Anchor town.
ship. 1t is not known what their
names were or where they were from,
and aside from mere rumor from per-
sons who live in that section of the
county who were here yesterday and
Monday, nothing at all can be procured
as information in regard to the matter.
From what Herald reporter could
obtain, the story is as follows: One
day last week three strange Negro
men came to Cross Anchor, and on
the roadside met several white ladies,
to whom they addressed some grossly
insulting remarks, and went on up the
big road. They again ment some
white ladies, and their language on the
occasion was more vile and indecent
than previously. The men Of the
neighborhood were apprised Of the
fact and took the matter in hand.
They instituted search for the black
ruffins. One of the number-the ring
leader-escaped ; but the other two
were seen three days ago surrounded
by large crowd of men, and no trace
or vestige of them has since been
heard. 1t is currently believe that
they were "put away"
Upjustifable Brutality.
Jim Tillman, the man who for rea-
sons unknown-but supposed to be
based on jealousy or pure meanness-
induced the First South Carolina regi
ment to sign a petition asking that it
be mustered out of service, has distin-
guished himself by piece of brutality
that is probably to be taken as charac-
teristic. According to the Columbia
Register, the incident occurred last
Tuesday afternoon in the camp at
Geeger's Spring. Tillman was tenn
porarily in command of the camp.
"Uncle George" Negro servant to
Colonel Tillman, reported the loss of a
pistol. Tillman suspected two Negro
boys as having knowledge of the theft,
and ordering them to be strapped

disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure

being constitutional disease, requires a

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Of the disease, and giving the patient

Surgeon on Dewey's Flagship.
Rock Hill Herald: Passed Assistant
Surgeon J. Miller Moore, of Rock Hill,
who recently sailed from San Francis
co for Manila on the Monadock, has
been transferred to the Olympia, Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship, now in the
China sea. DR.. Moore has distinguish
ed himself in his profession and his
advancement is the reward of industry
in perfecting himself for the proper
discharge of the duties of his profess
sion.
It Was a Regular Sale.
Mr.. w. N. Ashe calls the attention
of THE ENQUIRER to the fact that the
statement to the effect that he put in
the brick necessary to erect the York
Cotton mills building as stock, is a
mistake. He made the brick for the
York Cotton mills; but was paid for
them on the usual basis. In his prop
osition to take $4,000 worth of stock,
payable in brick, in a new 100000
mill, however, he would have it under
stood that he means to furnish the
brick on a competitive basis, without
any advantage over other brickmakers.
To Oppose Finley.
Columbia State: The Republicans
in the Fifth district have brought out
congressional candidate in the person
of Major Jno. F. Jones, of Blacksburg,
who posed as the martyr of the party
in this district during the last election.
He was nominated at a convention
held in Rock Hill on October 4. A
Republican leader from the Fifth dis
trict was in the city yesterday and said
that Major Jones was present in the
convention and would accept the nom
ination. Resolutions were adopted
endorsing President McKinley's policy
in regard to the war.
Ten Feet High.
Mr.. P. E. Moore left at THE EN-
oUIRER Office on Thursday morning
remarkable cotton stalk that was
grown by Mr.. Tom Garvin on Mr.. ].
Mack Moore's place, few miles south
of Yorkville. From tip of the root
to tip of the top leaf, the stalk meas
ures 10 feet and l inch, and leaving
off root and leaf, the length is a little
over 9 feet. There were 25 bolls and
several squares on the stalk, the top
most boil being so high that Mr.. Moore
could not reach it without bending the
stalk down. AS to what special va
riety the stalk belongs to, Mr.. Moore
is unable to say. 1t appears to be
only a freak, or possibly the fruit of
some chance fine seed.
