NEW FORK CIVILIZITION.

New York; the Empire State, calls itself civilized, but there are still In- dians, including the Tammany Indians. in it, and wolves. Chief Forester Pond has recently journeyed through the Ad- 1rondack forests and observed the con- ditions under which the deer in that region are wintering. He says that the light snowfall has permitted the deer to wander at will as in summer, and as consequence they are in good con- dit1on. Increased numbers are already reported as result of the anti-hound- ing law. Very few dogs are now at large in the woods, and the deer are unmolested except by wolves. MT Pond says the deer are wintering on the bor- ders of the woods to escape the wolves, and also to take advantage of the early spring in the open spaces.
 It will surprise some people to read that there are wolves in the State of New York. Perhaps it will soon be found that there are more bears in Wall street than have been noticed there lately.

Dr. J. Marty, French criminologist, has recently made an examination or 40o0 delinquent soldiers of the French army, and has found that in height, weight, breast measure, muscular power, and general condition, they aver aged much better than the well-behaved soldiers. Dr. Marty does not imply that criminals are by nature better physical ly than non-criminals, but suggests that the condition of criminal families is so much more wretched than respectable ones, that only the uncommonly strong survive.

The old Dismal Swamp canal, which connects Chesapeake Bay with Abe marle Sound, will be reopened for navi- ration in a few weeks. It extends from the village of Deep Creek, Virginia, to South Mills, North Carolina, distance of twenty-two miles. It is believed that the canal will form one of the most fmportant links in the chain of inland waterways extending along the coast from New York to Florida. The south ern end of the chain is composed of the sounds of the Carolluas and the pro tected channels between the Sea Isles and the mainland, while the bays, riv- CTS and canals of the Middle Atlantic States form the northern end. With the opening of the Dismal Swamp canal the South will possess the same means of cheap transportation by barges as are at present enjoyed by the territory be- tween Norfolk and the North.

In addition to the educational and property qualifications for the elect i've franchise and the clause admitting persons, their sons and srandsons who could have voted in any state prior to 1867, it also admits to registration all persons who served in the United States army prior to January l, 1867, as well as their sons and grandsons.

The Great West of Canada, the Paci- fic coast country in particular, is the coming country, says a business man of Seattle. Merchants, professional men and others who are settling in Vancouver all prosper and just within the last year or two some great gold mines have been discovered in that country. Sometimes think there must be more gold in that country than in all of the Klondike. We are certainly losing not only a great many immi- grants of a desirable class, who come here for the purpose of turning into good Americans, and then, Proteus- like, soon manufacture themselves into loyal Canadians, but quite number of native-born Americans have also crossed the border, prospered and set tied for life in their adopted country"

WHlTECAPPERS ARRESTED.
Old Man Jake Richardson Tells Il
Story of Horrible Crime by
the Whites.

A special to The State from
Greenwood last Friday gives a de-
tailed account of the meeting of
white citizens at Phoenix that day
to take steps t" ascertain and pun
lSh the parties who have been
whitecapping negroes in that vi>
cinity. There were 200 whites
present and some of the negroes
who had been whipped were
brought forward and asked to tell
their experience and give the
names of any parties they NAV
have recognized among the white
cappers. They feared to tell on
account of the threats to kill them
in case they did. BY rising vote
they were assured protection and
then very reluctantly gave the
names of Joe Jones. h j McCas>
len, Jesse Corley and VIM Wilson
as in the mobs that whipped them.
These men were arrested and put
under bond for their appearance
at a preliminary hearing. They
each claim they can prove an alibi.
Later the men waived a pre-
liminary hearing and gave bond
in the sum of $1,000 each for
their appearance at court.
The tales of the negroes were
narrowing in the extreme, espe
ciaIly is this true of old man Jake
Richardson, as he told how they
dragged him from a sick bed, beat
him, then ravished his wife. No
one who looked in his face doubt-
ed the truth of his statement. hus
unfortunately he would not di-
vulge the names of any Of his as
saiIantS.

HORRIBLE DEEDS.
Cut Off a Chlld's Ears and Then
Roasted The Infant to Death.

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug 1t
Parties from Leon county tell of
the horrible deeds of Carrie Simp
son, on the plantation of Lucius
Is Rainey. Carrie was nursing a
baby boy for her aunt. Recently
she sawed off his ears with a dull
knife and otherwise mutilated por-
tions of the body. When ques-
toned about the matter she said
that dogs had found the child
asleep and chewed off its ears and
one dog was killed for multiIatiop
of the child.
Only a few days since she de
IiberateIy covered the child with
ashes, left IN the fire place, which
were mixed with live Goals, and
took a seat on the doorstep, where
she could hear the screams of the
roasting child, and when they
ceased she ran screaming to a
nearby field and told the mother
that the neighbor's boy had
burned the child to death. No
legal steps have been taken to
have the nurse punished.

GreenvilIe, Aug 10. -- John
Phillips, of the Taylor's neigh,
borhood, was found dead on the
roadside two miles from his home
yesterday morning. He had eyi>
IDENTITY been killed by the overs
turning of Il wagon. Phillip,
had been to Il distillcry in the
Paris mountain section and was
going home with a two horse load
of slops. He had taken II nci@h~
borhood road which made his
route shorter tnan that Of the
public road. He left the still
house about dark and the suppo-
sition is that he was intoxicated.
as it was his misfortune to get
drunk almost everytime he left
home. 1t seems from the tracks
that the mules were going rs they
pleased and ran one side of the
wagon into gully. The body of
Phillips was found under the
wagon body. The discovery wa,
made by a negro about daylight.
Phillips was good citizen except
for his drinking habits, and was
well-known in this city. He was

n Misstatement Concerning the
WaXhaw Officers Corrected.

70 the Editor of The Observer:
In your paper of August 18th,
| notice two articles written about
the negro who was shot on the
18th inst, Just outside of the
incorporate limits of our town,
but died inside of the town limits.
One of these was written bv your
WaXhaw correspondent and the
other by your Monroe CORE
spondent. stating that the body
of the negro after death was de-
livered eyer to DR. w r McClain,
by the town authorities. Now,
in behalf of the officers of our
town, | say this is false. The
negro had only been dead about
eleven hours and our town au-
thorities had taken no action
whatever in the matter, and,
furthermore, we had no right to
do so in so short time. DR. Nc
Cain told the writer that he had
bought the body of the negro
from one McIlwain, his cousin.
and that he expected to take
charge of it.

1t Is Said the A & l. Has Bought

Charleston Post, 10th.

Sbul lSolOu OSls lSID.
The latest news in Railroad cir
cles is that the Atlantic Coast
Line has bought the Ohio River
& Charleston Railroad. There Is
now being constructed between
Sumter and Camden the North
Eastern road by the Atlantic
Coast Line, which it is said will
be used as connecting link.

cit Is further stated that the A
G l. and the Southern are pulling
in double harness and that when
ever there is u constitutional OBJ
lection to one acquiring a road the
other gets it and they work it to,
gether. This is to be the case IN
the matter of the Ohio River &
Charleston, and it remains to be
seen whether Sumter will reap
any material benefit from the Sum
ter and Nateree, since that road
has changed ownership. There is
also a report abroad to the effect
that the southern contempiates pull
ing up the Camden branch and the
Sumter and Wateree because their
business over these branches will
not he sufficient to Justify them in
keeping up the expensive trestle
work-six miles over the Wateree
swamp. The report, however, so
far as it refers to the Sumter and
Wateree, can hardly be true, as
we are told by MIR. Baumgartner
that material is arriving here for
the eredtion of nice brick depots
ior that road, and the Southern
would hardly 60 to that expense
unless it meant business.
