LYNCHED A DYING MAN
A South Carolina Mob Kills a Man
Who Was Shot Defending Himself,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec 80 One of the most
revolving lynchings in the State occurred at
kingstree, Williamsburg county, Wednes-
dav night. A dying man was shot to death.
On hristmas night Deputy Philip Poston
went to Prices store, Georgetown county,
to arrest Sam Turner, colored. The negro
was about to surrender, when Storekeeper
Price told him he need not if he did not
wish. Thereupon Turner resisted. Pistols
were drawn. Poston shot Tuner, inflicting
mortal wounds and was in turn shot dead
Storekeeper Price was threatened with
lynching. He barricaded himself in his
store, and today fled to Georgetown, where
he surrendered to the sheriff for protection.
Meantime Turner fingered in an outbuild-
ing between life and death. Wednesday
night the magistrate ordered him taken to
klngstree in charge of deputies. He was
conveyed there on mattress in wagon,
his wife and brother riding with him. When
the wagon reached Kingstree a deputy went
for the jailer to put the man in jail and get
the attendance of physician. As the jailer
approached he heard pistol shots and heard
a woman cry:
They have shot my husband"
The deputy who was with Turner said a
crowd of men came to the wagon, put pis-
tolls against the mans head, and shot him
to death. The Coroner's jury found that
the killing was done by persons unknown "
Another negro charged with having cluobed
Poston after he was shot is in Jail in Kings
tree. Threats are made against him.

BIG FLOODS IN WASHING TON
Heavy Rain and Melting Mountain
Snow Do 81 900, 900 Damage

TACOMA, Dec. 30.-Flood5 have caused
damage estimsted at : 900, 900 in the North
west during the last three days. The North
ern Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Great
is almost suspended. The Shelton and
Southwes' ern; Tacoma, Orting and South
eastern; Seattle and International; Everett
and NJ tie Cristo, and other local roads have
sustained severe damage by washouts and
landslides. In more than dozen western
Washington valleys bridges, fences and farm
property have been swept away. Several
persons have been drowned in the upper
Cowlitz and Tilton River valleys, but par
ticulars are not yet obtanable. Stock has
been drowned in nearly all the valleys now
inundated.
The cattle were driven to the highlands
during the November floods, but no more
high water was expected and they had been
taken back to the bottom lands. The Che
halls, Newanakam, and Skagit rivers are
higher than for ten years past The town
of Newaukum is floating, and between Che
halls and Centralia the Northern Pacific's
main line is two feet under water. Four
teen inches of rain have fallen since Sun
day, and the warm winds have melted the
snow in the mountains very fast, causing
the greatest winter floods ever known here.

We are very glad to see that the
monstrous pension frauds that have
been palmed off on the country in
the name of gratitude to the old
soldiers are attracting the attention
Of the northern public. At the same
time, it is to be feared that these
swindles would never have caused
serious discussions In that quarter
but for the Increase of the deficit
under the Dingley law. Some one
has informed the Republican leaders
that there can be no sort of currency
reform until there is surplus of
revenue pouring into the treasury.
This Information must have been
impaired by the finaneieFs who con
troll the leaders, Tor they have begun
TO stir up things. Some of them

1t is now in order for the Herald s

plain wherein Mr.. McKinley's ''stand
