COMMENT.
Trick North picks up a hand with
great possibilities. He may exhaust
the trumps and find no strength in
diamonds in his partners hand or he
may open diamonds and regret it later.
So he decides to announce his trump
strength and await Developments AL
though firm believer in number
showing leads, he here prefers to show
either one, two or four trumps, since
he would echo with three on a high
card lead.
Trick 2.-North now opens his fourth
best diamond This means, Partner,
return my trump lead if you think we
can make these diamonds"
Trick 3.-SOuth says, well, I guess
So" North stands to lose a trick, if
the lone queen is to his left, and to
gain if vice versa, He must fnesse
also if partner holds but two trumps.
Trick 1.-The remaining tricks re-
quire no comment.
To the Editor Of the Register
In the United States the whist season
of 1899 is we'll under way. 1t prom
Uses to be a season no less interesting
and animated than any that has pre-
coded it, both in the field of competition
among clubs and in social parties and
in the arena of theoretical discussion.
Acrimonious disputes among the "au-
thOrities" will probably continue, but
they will certainly be Tarer Out of the
chaos of theory and practice in which
the intellectual game has been involv-
ed for some years order seems to be
coming. In some instances the war
ring experts have found that their diff
ferences were superficial, if not mag
mary; in other instances the doctors
have agreed to disagree amicably, and
in general the sharpest hatchets appear
to be buried. This condition may be
only a breathing spell prior to the re
sumption of hostilities, but it really
looks like a truce that shall end in an
approach at least to harmony in the
whist world
LONG AND SHORT SUITES.

learned something from the other and,
broadly speaking, their methods, once
considered so divergent as to be ire
concilable, have come to be almost
identical In the details of play-what
are called conventions the players
of different schools are still at odds;
but, for that matter, so are the players
of each particulN school among them
selves. Experts have reached the con-
clusion that the innovations OF recent
years are more or less permanent; that
every team or individual has the right
to accept or to reject at pleasure any
of these innovations, and that, however
distasteful or unreasonable some OF the
newfangled practices may be to him.
it is necessary for the match player of
whatsoever school TO make himself
acquainted with these and with all 9TH
er theories, methods, systems and con-
ventiOnalities.

INSURGENTS ESCAPE.
Lawton Failed to Bag Them as
He Hoped to do.

Manila, June 6.-The insur-
gents of the Morong peninsula,
whom Lawton hoped to bag, have
got away. Consequently the
Gordon of troops has been with
drawn. Colonel Whalley returned
to Posig this morning and Halls
command remains at Morong. The
escape of the insurgents is largely
due to their excellent secret
service whereby the American
troops are beralded in advance.
Natural obstacles are another big
factor, it being . matter of i'm
possibility to get behind the
enemy.
The insurgents Saturday night
attacked the friendly town of Nc
Cabe. After driving the inha~
bitants out, they burned the town.
Insurgents nightly annoy the
troops at San Fernando. Several
Americans have been slightly
wounded recently. The Filipinos
have several Krrpp guns, which
they bring forward, firing large
shells into the town, then retreat
ing with the guns. A shell fell
within thirty yards of Macarthur s
headquarters Saturday evening.
The Americans do not reply to
their nightly outbreaks.

A Tip for Anglers.

The method employed by Dutch
fishermen to ensure astonishing
catches" is thus described by the
"Golden Penny"
1.-The fisherman puts a number
of live worms and insects in bot
tie partially filed with water, and
then corks it securely. The hot
tie is dropped into the water, the
fisherman sinking his line along
side.
cit appears that the sight of
the wriggling contents of the bot
tie so excites the appetite of the
fnny tribe that they fall easy vic
tins to the baited hooks"

RELIGIOUS LYNCHING.
A MAINE MOB HANGS FOUR
MEN ON ACCOUNT OF
THEIR BELIEF.
The Sect Was Obnoxious to the
Community-Ordered to
Leave and Not Go.
ing Mob Took
Things in
Charge.

Bangor, June GA religious
riot Is in progress in Levant, a
village two hundred and nine
miles from here. 1t Is feared
bloodshed will result. Some
months ago the acts of a strange
religious sect gave offense to the
community. They refused to
mend their ways or leave, and de-
clared they would suffer persecu-
tion rather than abandon what
they believed to be godly con-
duct.
Yesterday morning notice was
served on them to leave by sun
set. Not having left, r meeting
of prominent citizens was held
and descent WAS made upon the
disciples early this morning by .
mob of g hundred mon. The
homes of the leaders were sur.
rounded and four were captured
and taken to tho woods. The fate
of the victims is unknown, but it
is feared the villagers have hang
ed them. Certainly they were
tarred and feathered.

Address by Coy. McSVeeney to
the People of South Carolina,
WILL DO HIS PART.
AS Citizen and Officer to Advance
the Interests of the State
Promises n Strictly Business
Administration.
To the People of South Carolina:

10 the People OF South Carolina:
In the providence of Almighty
God, his excellency, William H
Ellerbe, late governor of South
Carolina, has passed to his reward.
regret the sad event which
makes it necessary for me to as
sumo the duties of governor of
South Carolina. The constitution,
however, is mandatory. l have
taken the oath of office and assume
formal control of the executive
department today. l have thought
it proper to address u word to tho
people of tho State.
realize fully the responsibility
of the position. l shall endeavor
to be faithful and conscientious in
the discharge of the duties which
shall be mine.
In tho wisdom which devised
our system of government three
distinct departments were made
the legislative, the executive, the
judicial to make the laws, to exc
cute the laws, to interpret the
laws. Under our own constitu-
tion they are to "be forever separ-
ate and distinct from each other, ("
and no person exercising the du.
ties of the one shall assume to
discharge the duties Of the other.
1t is q wise provision. My duty
mainly Is to see that the laws as
placed on the statute books by tho
legislative department are en-
forced. This l shall attempt to
do faithfully, and without fear or
favor, following only where duty
points.
In doing SO, however, l ask and
shall expect the hearty co-opera-
tion OF every officer in South
Carolina, whether he holds State
office, county Office, or an Office
under a municipality. Not only
SO, but / ask the hearty support
and encouragement Of every
citizen of South Carolina in the
enforcement of law and the pro-
motion and advancement and pro-
gress of our own common wealth.
realize the impotency of any
officer, however faithful he may
be, who does not have this sup.
port.
We are on the eve of a great
industrial advance-in manufact,
ure, education, commerce and
agriculture-and l stand ready to
contribute my part as citizen anC
officer to this forward industrial
movement, and to do anything il
my power for the welfare of my
people. l have no political pun
/ ishments to inhict and no politica
rewards to pay. 1t shall be my
aim and steadfast purpose to Civ
the people of the State a strict,
business administration, and to b.
, the governor of all the people
To this end seek their sympathy
! their counsel and their prayers,
praying myself that peace snc
happiness and prosperity ma,
come to every home in Soutl
J Carolina.

SENTENCED TO
LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
LAW TAKES IT'S COURSE
WITH NEGROES WHO
ATTEMPTED RAPE.
Judge Aldrich Makes an Address
to Spectators-Example in
Horry Worth Thou
sand Lynchiugs.
Special to The State.

Conway, June 6.-The case of
the State vs.. George Murrel and
Daniel Chestnut shows that Horry
means to maintain her good repu~
tation in regard to lynch law. 1t
will be remembered that some
time during last spring these ne
gro boys broke into and attempt
ed to enter the home IF MIR Smith,
at Socastee, with intent to COM
NIT rape on two white girls. The
young mon of the neighborhood
pursued the fiends to their hiding
place in a swamp, where they
were captured and compelled to
confess the deed. Although ad-
vlsed that lynching was proper,
these young men quietly lodged
their prisoners in jail to await
trial. Before passing the life
sentence Judge Aldrich said:
"And just here wish to say
to the good people of Horny
county that in this instance you
are deserving of the highest praise
and commentator of the people
of South Carolina and of eli this
broad land of ours. You are no.
tad for being a brave people ply
sicslly. There are no people on
earth braver than the people of
Horny county. That is the repu-
tstion you have made for your
selves in war and in peace; and
therefore that the law in this
county was resorted to in the due
administration of justice means
much. You Ito the prisoners)
violated the law in desecrating q
pure home among a brave people,
and yet the bravery of the people
of Horny county was adorned by
that higher virtue, alove of law,
a desire to see the law enforced In
it's due and Orderly course of adj
ministration, bravery over and
above the instincts of race, of an
ger, and no lyncher's hand was
called upon to protect the rights
OF the citizens of this county.
These young men who arrested
you, young men in the flush of
manhood, in the dignity of Amer
lean citizens, with reverence for
law which characterizes all pure
men, brought you here and in
oarcerated you in jail, from which
you were brought to trial in a
court of justice, before a jury
drawn according to law, duly
tried and duly conyicted. Such a
spectacle is worth a thousand
lyachings.
"Lynch law means the destruc-
tion of law. Behind the hand of
the lynchers may be the power of
Sampson, but in the exercise of
that power they pull down the
temple of justice upon the heads
of themselves and their families
and their posterity; and in place
of peace and order, civilization
and christianity, they would hurl
the country into the law of BAR
barism.
GA land without law is a land
without liberty, and a land with
out liberty is a land where the
powerful oppress the weak, whore
might makes right, and the only
refuge for the humble and the
poor is the courts of the land. In
place of that in Horny county,
every man can valk freelv abroad
