The Situation Serious.

The situation in Porto Rico is more
serious than at any time before or
since the terrible hurricane. In many
places the poor are starving. The
price Of rice, beans and Goldfish have
increased from so to 100 per cent.
Demonstrations against the delay of
the United States in settling open
questions have recently been held at
many towns. The people are unable
to understand the delay and they CON
denim all Americans indiscriminately.
Bad feeling is arising which it will
take years to overcome. Even riots
are threatened.

Capt. Mushbach is with us again
this week, in defense of the Tax In
gu isitors bill. We will. attempt nc
further refutation of his arguments.
We cannot settle the question, but
grow further and further apart, The
law is in the hands of our Supreme
Court and when they have passed On
it, there may be no law left, at least
we hope they will end its existence.

NEGRO AND WHITE NAN LYMcHED
Strung Up in %Greensvi!ie County For
Numbering Two Citizens.

The reign of excitement in Greens
Vile county yer the murder of Messrs.
Saunders and WeltOn, two popular citi-
zens OF that county, eliminated Satur-
day In a double lynching at Emporia.
Both Walter Cotton, the negro who,
according to his own confession, killed
Saunders and Welton, and O'Grady,
the white man who was with him III
the cabin when the killing occurred,
were hanged byean Infatuated mob va
rlously estimated at from | 500 to 1000
strong.
Saturday morning Sheriff Lee dis
charged from duty The military that
had been sent from Richmond at his
request, and Major Cutchins, in com
mand Of the troops, notified Governor
Tyler, stating at the same time that
he believed that if the prisoners were
left unprotected by the military they
would be lynched.
The governor replied as follows:
1.-The sole responsibility is on the
sheriff. Ii be orders you to withdraw,
you can do nothing but obey. We
have done everything possible to up
hold law and prevent mob violence,
and are still prepared TO render amy
necessary aid. Have recalled train
with Capt. CLeatWoou' s company, and
will again dismiss them. WI arrange
with railroad to. bring your men back
Accordingly Major Cutchins en-
trained bis men and started for Rich
mOnd. This was about II O'Clock.
Hardly was the special out OF sight
when d moo entered the Jail, took Cot
ton, banged him to the llmb OF d tree
and fired several bullets INFO his body.
Later, despite the protests of cooler
heads who claimed n la the gAllG OF
the white man had not been establish
ed, another crowd, composed largely OF
negroes, entered the jail, overcome the
resistance of the few that tried TO pro-
tect OGrady, took him out and hang
ed him also.
The three other prisoners whom Cot
ton charged with having committed
the Black murder and robbery were
discharged by the judge and they left
town. Immediately after the %lynching
the town was deserted by the crowd
and resumed its wonted quiet. The
negro Cotton was to have been hung
the 18th Oflast January in Portsmouth.
but escaped from jail few days pre-
vious to the day of execution. dc
boosted that in his life time be had
killed rs white men. The people OF
GreenSville were SO determined &c
avenge the killing of their county men
thai they induced the judge and sheriff
to dismiss the military. OGrady aided
Cotton in making his escape from the
Portsmouth Jail last January.
