II. E. Frissell, superintendent of the

President Mckinley has summoned I. II.
Loftin, the Afro-American postmaster, of
Hogansville, Ca, to Washington, where he
will be given a good department position,
as it, seems that the Hogansville whites
will not become reconciled to have an
Afro-American hand out their mail.

~Lynching is no cure for crime. 1t is
country of lynchings is the country Of
Winchester rifles and family feuds. The
assassination of Goebel at Frankfort, KY,
Tuesday, is a natural result Of the general
laxity and disposition to settle all con-
troverses by force out of court.

A policeman, testifying in Judge Bakers
court in Chicago, referred to- an Afro
American youth as 'coon.'' Judge Baker
said: why do you speak of that boy as
a coon? He is no more Of a coon than
you are monkey" Judge Baker is a
democrat who makes no pretensions of
love for the Afro-Americans, but he be-
leves that decency of speech should be
observed in court.

Another shooting scrape occurr-

night. During the progress Of a
supper given near Pembroke some
of the.parties in attendance became
engaged in a row, when pistols
were drawn and the firing commenc-
ed. During the fusilade Charles
Holland was shot four times, three
balls entering the hip and one TAX
ing effect in the foot. 1t is not posi-
lively known who shot Holland, but
the matter will be fully investigat-
ed by the authorities.
1t is claimed that forty or fifty
shots we're fred, but only four of
the balls took effect.
When the shooting began Holland
fell fiatsupon the ground and in this
way, it is thought, saved hislife, as
his wounds are not regarded as of a

TROOPS TO CHINA.
GunbOat Concord Ordered To
Take Marines.
Communication Cut Off And Great
Anxiety Felt on All
Sides.

Washington, June 18.-The most
alarming feature OF the Chinese sit
uation is the absence of news. The
United States Government has
taken a vigorous position and is
Fastening relief to Minister Conger
and to Rear Admiral Kempff. In
addition to the warships and mi
rines already under way, the gun
boat Concord with more marines
has sailed from Manila. The gun
boat Yorktown has been ordered
from Chefoo to Taku, to return in
stantly with news from Rear Ad-
miral Kempff. The entire Ninth in
fautry has been summoned to Ma
Mia to be sent to China. Not one
of the Powers has heard from its
Minister at Pekin for FIVE days, nor
from it's Admiral at Tien Tsin for
three days. Communication north
of Shanghai is entirely destroyed
The failure to hear any direct news
following the reported attacks upon
the legations at Pekin and the tight
position in which the internationa.
relief column was reported adds tC
the general uueasiness in half d
dozen Cabinets.

RECORDS BROKEN,
rIOre Water on The Ground Than
Ever Seen Before.

Howell, Ky, June 18.-Another
terrific rainstorm visited this sec
tion Sunday afternoon. Allstreams
are out of their banks and lowlands
everywhere are submerged. Roads
in many places are impossible. AT
T. H. Majors gate the water is 20
feet deep, up tothe telephone wires.
At ]. ]. c. Meningitis, culverts
have been washed away and the
wire fence washed up, Claud
Kings crop, wheat, corn and to-
bacco is entire destroyed. He has
90 acres under water. Little6eld
Bros, are in the same condition,
everything under water.
There is not a farmer who has
not lost all or part of his crop.
Tyree Nuckolls has lost 20 acres of
corn, 10 acres of tobacco and 10
acres of wheat Jesse Giles has
one field of 80 acres OF wheat under
water. Fully 10 per cent of the
crop of wheat is lost and water
stands a foot or Inore deep in as
much more. Where it is not cover
ed by water, much of the crop is fiat
on the ground. Hardly any of the
crop has been cut. Farming opera
tions of all kinds are at complete
standstill 1t will be a week or ten
days before blowing can be done,
with no further rains,
What is true of this neighbor-
hood is true of the whole southern
part of the county.

BIRD HAD FLOWN.
Grant Parrish, Indicted for fur
der, Escapes to Tennessee.

Grant Parrish, who shot and
killed Stephen Stewart, another
negro, near The Square, last We'd
nesday, escaped to Tennessee and
is still free man. After Parrish
shot his man he went to Bell, stop
ping on the premises of DR.. John p.
Bell. An attempt was made to
keep the negro under surveillance,
but it seems he became uneasy
about his future welfare and skip
ped over the State line into Ten
nessee. Deputy Sheriff Charles
Barnes, who went down to Bell
after the man Friday, found on ar
rival that the bird had flown, and
he returned the same day. The
Tennessee authorities have been
notified to look out for Parrish and
it is not believed that he can long
evade the officers.
The grand jury, which was in
session when the killing occurred,
made a full investigation Friday
and returned bill against Parrish
for murder. If captured before adj
iournment, of court be will likely
be tried at this term.

An UnlMOurned Hero.

While the country at large has
mourned such losses as the death of
General Lawton, there have been
many pathetic incidents Of the war in
the Philippines which have gone un-
heralded and unnoticed. The closing
chapter of one of. these will be marked
at the Schuylkill Arsenal on Thursday
morning, when all the personal effects
|of Philadelphia boy who served as a
private in a cavalry regiment will be
sold at public auction. The soldiers $
name was Jones, and he fought in a
number Of battles around Manila until
he was stricken with fever. He lived
to return to this country, but died in
a hospital. The poor fellow had no
relatives. or lat least none can be
found. so his little stipend of back pay
and the trifle that will be realized
from the sale of his effects will revert
back to the government. The entire
outfit consists Of a canvas telescope,
four photographs of scenes at Manila,
which were probably bought as keep
sakes: a copy of the Manila Freedom,
a pair of scissors, a razor and strop,
a few sewing needles, and two or three
trinkets and relics picked up during a
six months campaign.-Philadel

What Shall We Do in the Philippines

There is no use in simply driving out
the rebels and bandits and passing on
and leaving the place empty. Be sure
the bandits will return, and the last
state of the place will be worse than
the first No.; but when laWlessness is
expelled law is to be established. When
the plunderers and destroyers are driv-
en- away honest industry and commerce
arc to be begun. In that way all that
is gained wilfbe held fast, and will aid
in the gaining OF more. For every port
opened to commerce and every town
we'll governed and made prosperous will
serve, as a center of law abiding and
loyal influences. Nothing is more re-
bellious than idleness and shiftlessness,
and nothing more loyal than industry
and thrift.
In this way, too, the United States
will be most directly fulfilling its mis-
sion in those islands. 1t did not take
possession Of them merely as hunting
ground for its troops, but as van
tage ground of peaceful, expanding and
profitable commerce. Their commercial
potentialities are incalculably great,
and it is now time they began to be re-
allied. There is. no doubt, still some
active field work for our troops to do.
The last remains OF Aguinaldo's
wretched brigandry must be suppressed
promptly. sternly, remorslessly. That
is. and will be until it is completely
done, the 1irst and most imperative
order of the day But sufficient pro-
gress Herewith now seems to have
been made to permit the earnest taking
up of the next great duty, and the
doing of that is what the president S
order nleans.-New York Tribune,
