srs Had Committed Suicide.
Charleston, S. c.. Oct. Lawrence
Brown, an innocent negro, was ac-
cused Of incendiarism in Orangeburg
county In 1897 and discharged by re-
quest Of the prosecutor and was sub
sequently lynched at Stilton Station.
Browns father sued the county Of
Orangeburg for $4,000 damages. Tho
verdict was for the defendant county,
the judge holding that the act only ap-
piled in cases where prisoners were
taken from officers and lynched. The
state supreme court reversed the opin-
ion and the case was called again In
court at Orangeburg Saturday. The
testimony proving lynching was over
whelming, though one of the county's
lawyers. in spite Of the fact that
Browns body was riddled with bullets
and his hands and feet tied, claimed
that the negro had committed suici4e,
The jury returned a verdict in favor Of
the county. Notice has been given
Of q motion to set aside the verdict.

Miss BELLE kEARNEY, the Ma
tional W. c. T. U. organizer, deliy-
cred most excellent address at
West Presbyterian Church on Fri
day night last. She enumerated
the numerous obstacles in their path
which includes the following: En-
franehisement of vicious foreigners
with their drink habits; corrupt
political parties who are afraid to
offend the liquor power; the negro
vote, which, in the South, is almost
unanimous for the saloon; the liquor
press; deafness of conscience of
church members; social drinking
and liquor license laws. Miss
Kearney sums up nearly all of the
causes of lntemperance increasing,
but how about the remedy. Is it
possible to bring all these evils to-
gether and enforce the laws. The
temperance question has been de-
bated by the ablest men and women
in our country, but still the evil
goes merrily onward. This year
there has been more liquor drank
than during any other year OF the
country's existence.

WITH greater activity in the in
dustrial world than has been seen
for years, comes the rumor of war.
War makes work, 1t makes wrecked
homes and Borrowing widows and
orphans. 1t makes greater wealth
for the vctors and paupers of the
vanquished. A war between Eng
land and the Beers would mean a
bigger demand from this country
of its products. Already England
has spent over a million dollars in
equipping and moving its troops
to the Transvaal, while it
would cost millions more before the
war was ended. 1t is to be hoped
that the end aimed at by England
can be secured without bloodshed.
