FRANKLIN. Pa. Aug. 25-Edith Dunn. II
years old. daughter Of Q farmer. was fatally
shot last night by Tyne Grove. a neighbor.
who mistook her for q burglar. She attended
a church sociable In the neighborhood. and
returned home at about O'Clock. After
her escort left her she made a futile at
tempt to arouse some member Of her family
to let her into the house She then went
to Groves house. short distance away. and
knocked at tho front door several times. Ac-
cordinR TO her story. she got no response until
a shot was fired through the door.
Grove says that he was aroused By q knock
at the door and called out Who's thsre2"
This demand he repeated several times. but
received no reply. He then called out, IT you
don't 70 away I'll shoot" Again there was no
response, and he imm ediately got his rife.
He says he made racket and allowed several
shells TO drop on the floor with the hope OF
frightening the person away. The knock came
again ank he fired towards the door. A scream
followed. and whom he stepped out
side to pick up q burglar he learned
his mistake. The ball entered the
girls abdomen and she died this afternoon.
Grove sold ZONE oil yesterday and had sew
eral hundred dollars In the house. He thought
the person at the door was somebody who knew
he had the money and was attempting to rob
him. The girl before she died asked that
Grove should not be blamed.

Open Letter On the Race Question From
Con. NJ. G. Butler.
COLUMBIA. 8. c.. Aug. 25.-Gen. NJ. G. Butler.
former United States Senator. has written for
publication letter dealing with the race prob
lem. 1t Is called forth by the recent whipping
OF negroes at Greenville.
Il am no apoloeist for lawlessness at the
hands OF any class" lie says. but public meet
ings and denunciation will not cure this dis
ease. 1t is In tho blood and will break out
somewhere else. You must strike at the root
to eradicate 1t. Tho poor white men who have
to earn their bread by the sweat OF their faces,
cannot compete with cheap negro labor To
attempt to do so implies their degradation and
ultimate destruction or expatriation. One race
must go to the wall. and with the kindest feel
ings Of good will toward the negro. I must side
with my own race. Two races cannot live to-
gether In peace. on terms Of equal. civil and
political rights, and the sooner We realize that.
the better for both races.
Tho separation Of the races is the only solu-
ton OF the terrible problem. It 10 very easy
for Tillman and others to denounce the law
leseness OF the one gallus. wool hat crowd. ;
Lot Mr.. Tillman and those who Join him as tho
guardians of the negro put themselves In the
poor white mans place and walk between pillow
handles from sun-up till shutdown In oompe-
tition with negro labor at IS month, q peck Of
meal and three pounds Of bacon q week.
Some justification for this lAwlessneSS may
be dug from tho depths OF poverty into
which cheap labor has plunged many
worthy whites. Cheap labor 10 the
curse Of any country. The trials OF white
men for whitecapping would be . farce and
lawleaSness would not end. The Government
OF the United States ought to appropriate
500. 900, 900 and duplicate II as often a. nee
essary to assist the negroes In settling q col
ony to themselves This was done for the
Indians when they could not live at peace with
whites. temporary Inconvenience by the
negro leaving the country might result. but
the whites would meet the emergency.
THE wild harangues OF men who openly ad-
wise the murder Of the TolbsrtS and keeping
tho negro In q state Of quasi-slavery deserve
the execration OF right-thinkinE mon. That rs
not the way to bring peace and order into q
country.
The methods OF the negro do not Justify an
attempt to lift him up By Increased wages 30
long as the races are In immediate contact on
present terms lynchinGs. Whitecappings mob
law. every form Of lawlessness. will constantly
menace society. obstruct progress and keep up
a state OF anx iety."
