THARPE GOING HOME
The Former Soldier to Lenve for Mis-
siSsippi Tonight.

Dock n. Tharpe, formerly of the Fifth
Immunes. who was acquitted of the charge
of murder Thursday. will tonight leave this
city on Southern Railroad train for his
home at Tomnolen. Webster county. Miss
His wife has been informed of his home
coming and with her two-year- infant,
will meet the former soldier.
The young man is without money, the
small sum that he had when arrested hav-
ing been exhausted by expenses incurred
while he was in jail.
His attorney, Fred. Beall. has taken
great fancy to Tharpe, and after the lat
ter's discharge from custody yesterday, Mr..
Beall placed him in the care of two Mis-
sissippians, who last evening took Tharpe
TO the Library of Congress, and today es-
corted him 10 the Capitol, White House,
and other places of interest.
Mr.. Beall said today that when Tharpe
was taken to the jail last June he could
neither read nor write. His trouble at
tracted the attention of a generous wom-
an, who brought him school books pencils,
and paper. Tharpe employed his time SO
studiously that on November 15 he was
ible TO write without assistance.
He sent a note to Mr.. Beall today.

Development. however, showed that the
mines could only be successfully worked
by the use of costly machinery and while
they have been extremely productive where
machinery has been used they were not
of such character as to make hand or placer
mining profitable, as was the case in Cali
fornia. The gold production in the Rand
since 1884 has been over $50 .000. 900. and
careful surveys of the field by the use of
drills and other processes OF experts show
beyond question that the lin sight prob
ably amounts TO hundreds of millions sterl-
ing, while the large number of mines which
have been located in adjacent territory,
particularly in parts of Rhodesis. give
promise of additional supplies, Sc that it
seems probable that South Africa will FOR
many years continue to be, as it now is,
the largest gold producing section of the
world.
Recent discoveries lead to the belief that
these wonderfully rich mines are the long
lost gold of Ophir,' from which Solomon
obtained his supplies. making "a navy Of
ships in Eziongeber, which is opposite
Eloth on the shore Of the Red Sea. in the
land of Edom; and Hiram sent in the navy
his servants, shipmen that had knowledge
Of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;
and they came to Ophir and fetched from
thence gold, and brought 1t 10 King Solo
mon."

NEGROES HANGED FOB ASSAULT
Two Expiate n Crime Committed i'm
South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 25.-Two ne
were hanged yesterday at Darlington for an
assault on Miss Josephine Mafferty young
white woman, on October s. They were the
first 10 be legally executed for the crime in
this State. And in this instance the fact
that the courts were permitted TO try the
cases instead of the mob saved the lives of
four innocent men. One of the negroes who
died today confessed the crime. The young
woman was caught on Sunday morning on
a path through strip of wood between her
home and her brothers house by Luckie
who took her by the throat and quickly
choked her into insensibility.
Through the efforts of Sheriff Scarhor-
ough he and Mitchell with four other ne
groes were captured In the swsmps, kept
all night 10 escape the mob. and finally got
TO train and brought for safe keeping 20
the penitentisry. They all seemed equally
guilty and If the mob had captured them
all would have been killed. The trial took
place ten days later. Miss Mafferty was
too Ill to appear in court. Mitchell and
Luckie were first selected for trial. Luckie
had confessed and implicated Mitchell. II
was found that there was no evidence
against the other four and after keeping
them in Jail few days TO let the people
settle down from their excitement they
were released.
To the last Mitchell protested he had no
share in Luckie's crime and was a victim
Of circumstances. having been a friend of
the criminal He thanked the people for
not lynching him when first arrested. In
his dying declaration Luckie admitted
Mitchelfs entire innocence. He said he
was not sorry for his crime and was salts
fed to die for what he did

The Former senator Advocates His
Being Seated. Then Expelled.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov 25.-Former
United States Senator Edmunds in talking
yesterday about the seating of Brigham H.
Roberts, Representative-elect from Utah.
said: Mr. Roberts fills the legal require
ment of the legislature and is therefore en-
titled TO membership in the House. / think
his name should be entered on the roll as
a member of the House. In my judgment
there is nothing else to be done. OF course,
in sending Roberts to Congress the people
of Utah thereby hope to have the practice
of polygamy recognized by the United States
Government and the seating Of their rep
resentative who is also an exponent of the
Mormon religion. would mean much to their
State still believe that there is no other
course than to seat him. If admission were
refused because he is Mormon, some one
else might fail to secure admission because
his views on the tariff did not agree with
those of the majority of the House. Our
republican form of government would thus
fall.
However, there is, very fortunately,
clause in the Constitution giving authority
to expel Objectionable persons by two-
thirds vote. This. hope, will be done in
the case of Roberts.

Bids are being received at the War De-
partment for half million yards of khaki
cloth that is to be made into uniforms for
the army. The last order, which was for
million yards, is rapidly being delivered
and as fast as ii comes in is placed in the
hands Of the suit manufacturers. The
cloth is light in color and texture, and is
said to better suit the climatic conditions
Of the Philippines than that formerly used.
1t is the intention of the Quartermaster's IS
Department to discard all the wooden
suits heretofore worn by the army in the
Philippines, as they become moldy when
exposed to the wet weather.
There are six contractors engaged at
present in the manufacture of suits for
the army. and at the present rate their
daily output is about 1850 suits This re-
quires 1900. 600 yards OF khaki cloth a year,
allowing six yards to the suit. After the
bids for the present order are accepted, 1t
is understood that bids for half million
more yards Of cloth will be advertised for.
Samples of hats, shoes, belts, and under
wear are constantly being received at the
Quartermaster's Office in the War Depart
ment. The shoes now being supplied to
the army in the Philippines are of a spe-
cially tanned russet leather. They are
said to be far superior to the black shoe
formerly used. Two pairs of shoes year
is the ordinary allowance for the soldier,
but owing to the rough campaigning in the
Philippines each man has averaged about
five pairs.
1t is not uncommon for the department
to ship 100000 pairs of these shoes a, one
time. The new hats with side ventilators
and corrugated sweatbands are being ship
ped as fast as received. The hat is darker
In color than any previously used, and is
said to better protect the soldier from the
weather than the old style.
hat modelled after the English helmet
which is used in India, will also be used
by the army in the Philippines.
This hat is intended for use in warm
weather and differs somewhat from the
English hat. The visor projects more and
the body OF the hat is of cork.
The underwear that has been decided
upon for army use is so per cent wool. The
purpose in not using all wool is to pre-
vent the possibility of shrinkage. The
is strongly made, but very soft
and pliable. Col. William S. Patten. OF
the Quartermaster's Department. told re-
porter for The Times today that the enor-
nous amount Of clothing required by the
army in the Philippines is not astonishing.
when it is considered that there are 100 900
men in the field TO be supplied. He fur
ther said that no army in the world was
clothed and taken care of SO well as the
soldiers of the United States
