tween Watson and the girl, in which he
began with entreaties and ended with
threats. The girl invariably replied
Lthat he had not been true to his prom
ise and that she intended to stay with
Annie Neal until she had made enough
money to return to her father at Pine
willie.
Finally, without saying a word, Wat
son, who had been standing in the
door, walked up to Mary, who was
trimming lamp wick, drew a pistol
and shot her three times. The first
shot penetrated her heart. AS she was
falling he shot her through the breast
and through the head. She died almost
instantly.
Watson fled and was not caught up to
a late hour last night. The principals
and witnesses to this murder belong to
a respectable class of colored folk, and
among the colored population Of Rock
Hill there Is intense excitement over
the murder. Several parties are
searching for Watson and If captured
it Is thought he will be lynched.
A phone message from Rock Hill at
midnight, stated that the white resi-
dents Of that town were greatly ex-
cited over the killing, and that num-
ber Of them had visited the house
where the girl was slain.
The police force of Rock Hill is max
ing every effort to run down the GRIM
inal. A description Of Watson has
been wired to all adjoining towns, stat
ing that he is about 30 years DID, tall
and heavily built. At the time Of the
shooting he wore dark clothes and
blue overalls, and a very broad
brimmed black hat.
So far as could be ascertained up to
the time THE ENQUIRER went to press
yesterday afternoon, he'murderer was
still at large. Sheriff Logan had no
information about the case except such
as he had gotten from heresay.

MURDER IN ROCK HILL.

The Charlotte Observer, of Satur-
day, contains the following account OF
a murder that occurred in Rock Hill
last Friday night:
Mary Wingate, a colored girl, about
10 years old, who was born ana reared
at Pineville, was murdered IN Rock
Hill, S. c.. last night, by VIII wat
son, a Negro who had led her astray
under promise of marriage.
For five or six months Watson and
Mary Wingate had been living togeth-
er as man and wife. In the early sum-
mer he took her with him to Chester,
S. c. When she finally knew that
Watson did not intend to marry ner,
she escaped to Rock Hill, where sne

South Carolina Senator Argues With Repub
licans AGAINST Imperialism.

United States Senator Benjamin R.
Tillman addressed a Democratic gath
ering of 1900 persons at the South Side
Turner hall, Milwaukee, last Thurs
day night, conf1ning his remarks chief
ly to imperialism. He was frequently
applauded.
zone burning question" he said, us
to determine whether or not you will
retain a republic to live under or
whether. you will set up a military des-
potism.''
The Porto Rican tariff law he char
acterized as "a damnable act, for
which you will rise up and call the
Republicans to account"
These people, he said, were promised
that they should receive all the rights
and guarantees that the constitution
calls for: but the Republican party has
from the start denied them their rights.
He dwelt at length upon the Philip
pines and ridiculed the statement Of
Republicans that the war was over In
those islands, and stated that in the
face Of such reports messages were be-
ing sent to Washington almost daily
containing news of the killing Of many
of our soldiers. He quoted Admiral
Dewey to the effect that the Filipinos
were better able to govern themselv-
eS than the CubanS, yet the Cubans
were given their liberty and the Fill
pinos remain slaves.
He urged his hearers to arise above
party and vote for principle and liber-
ty; that they were to decide whether
the constitution and the flag were to
go together.
Taking up the argument Of "the full
dinner pail" the speaker told his lis
teners to tell the Republicans that
Slaves heretofore have had full dinner
pals"
Senator Tillman closed by inviting
the audience to vote for Bryan. and
predicted defeat Of the Republican
party in November.
