meeting Of merchants and plantatio own
ers OF Porto Rico. who are now In this city. was
held yesterday afternoon at the rooms OF The
Merchants Association. Tho meeting was ar
ranged for the purpose OF giving n hearing to
Gen. Roy Stones plan for the relief OF hurri-
cane sufferers and the benefit OF coffee plant
ers OF the island at the same time by making
known the coffee Of Porto Rico in the United
States. Gen. Stone called at the rooms OF the
association at the suggestion OF Secretary
Root In letter to the secretary Of the asso-
citation Secretary Root said OF Gen. Stones
plan
He (Gen. Stone) says that well-to-do citi-
zens OF Porto Rico. while without money. are
willing to contribute large quantities OF Porto
Rican coffee OF the highest grade. provided it
can be sold in the United States and turned in
to money. This might produce large additions
to the relief fund and at the same time serve as
means OF introducing Porto Rican coffee. I
hope that you will be able to arrange with Gen.
Stone for such proceeding; that is. the sale Of q
suitable quantity OF Porto Rican coffee for the
benefit OF this fund 1t seems to me that the
being widely advt rtised would lead to a ready
market and have very beneficial effect. II
this can be done we will arrange for bringing
back the coffee on our transports as they re-
turn from Porto Rico"
Among those present at the meeting were
Lucas Amadeo. coffee planter OF Ponce: Alex
ander Besosa and Pedro Salazar. Porto Ricaps.
whose offices are in this city; Carlos Armstrong
OF Ponce: Robert Graham. an engineer. OF
Ponce. who is one OF the oldest OF foreign resi-

Ricans contribute percentage OF their crops
OF coffee OF the highest grade. to be introduced
in this market for the purpose OF popularlzing
1t with the coffee drinkers OF this country, to
whom 1t is practically unknown.
1t was agreed at the meeting that Gen. Stone
should prepare n statement OF his plan In writ
ing. to be promulgated through the proper
channels In Porto Rico. and placing q limit OF
100 bags. or 10000 pounds Of coffee. as the
first shipment to be made under the plan. F.

ing Grimes Against Women Alleged.
COLUMBIA. &. c.. Aug. 18.-The committee
appointed at the Greenwood mass meeting to
investigate whitecapping met to-day at Morlah
Church with 200 Of tho best citizens OF the
county. Ex-senator Gaines reported they had
been unable to get direct evidence. but before
the meeting was over convincing evidence
against four men was given, together with the
story Of a crime against negro woman.
The committee reported that one man was
whipped because no was at the Phoenix riots
last November. another because he threatened
white man who dunned him for debt. The
mistress OF q white man was whipped and an
other woman was fogged because she had
rented house used as white schoolhouse.
Mr.. Gaines said the white people must come
together. and measures drastic, II necessary.
must be taken to make Red and Joe Tolbert
good citizens.
Senator Waller made the negroes attending
the meeting a Speech promising protection OF
the whites and begging them to tell the names
OF their enemies Jake Richardson. sixty -four
years old. a negro against whom there has
never been word. told with tears OF his trou-
bles. Three men had come to his house Thurs
day night when he was sick in bed. His wife
went to the door and was caught and dragged
out She was undressed. and while two OF the
men looked on the other assaulted her. She
returned to the house weeping. and the whites
came in. got the old man and beat him terribly.
Then Henry McClintock. Tom McClintock
and other negroes who were whipped. named
A. M. McCaslan. Jess Corley. Joe Jones and
viii Wilson as whitecappers whom they recog-
nized. Warrants for these men were issued at
once and three Of them are in custody.
Senator Waller was highly wrought up. He
made another speech to the negroes. thanking
them for their forbearance. and promising pro-
lection.
To prevent possible harm. the negroes who
gave evidence against whites were taken to
Greenwood and put in charge of the Sheriff.
who will be held responsible for their safety.
Many other arrests will follow.
