Italy Takes Matter Up.

A speeisl from Washington Gays:
The Italian government has taken cog
nizsnce of a recant affrsy at Erwin,
Miss, ln which it is claimed two ItsIi-
ans were lynched and thiri seriously
vounded. The facts have been com
municsted to tho foreign cffice at Rome,
and the Italian embassy here has made
representations to the state department.
AT the same time, the Italian authori-
ties are pursuing an investigation OF
their own through their counsel at New
Orleans and their consular agent at
Vlcksburg, Miss, which is not far from
the scene OF the alleged trouble. Thus
far the reports received from these off
cisls establish two essential points in
what is considered rather serious con-
dition of affairs. First, it is reported
positively that the Italians were killed
by lynomng, and not through any acci-
dent or chance sffrsy. Second, the
Italian authorities nearest to the scene
Of the trouble have established to their
satisfaction that the persons killed are
Italian subjects In the full sense, not
having taken out naturalization papers.
Thus far the case is In state of inquiry
both on ,he part of the state depart
ment and the Italian authorities, but
there is every indication that the fact
will constitute an international Incl
dent similar to that with Italy growing
out of the killing of Italians in Louis
lana

In Arkansas generally very high

THE HOT WAVE.
More Disastrous to Human Life Than
Any Recent Epidemic,

The recent hot wave with its hun
dreds of deaths and thousands of pros
trstions has been more disastrous in
its effects than any epidemic that has
visited the country. Cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox, each have also claimed
hundreds of victims, but not within
the space of SO few days. The direct
faalities have been enormous, but the
scoursge cannot be judged by these
alone; the increase in the number of
deaths from other causes must also
be attributed to the excessive heat,
fatal In its results on system en-.
feebled by disease. In the future hun
dreds OF those prostrated who escaped
immedi.te death will Guccumb to com
parativeiy mild attacks of disease and
thus the m ortslity will go on for months
In the large cities ambulances and pa
troll wagons were insufficient to convey
the sticken to the hospitals and these
were unable to respond to ell the de-
mands made upon them with every bed
oocupied d and extra cots in the corridors
and physicians and nurses overtaxed,
sometimes falling beneath the strain.
The strenuous life is inevitably con.
CURED by the strenuous thermometer.
In such crises nothing can be done
save to treat eaoh case individually
and instruct the populsce how best to
accommodate themselves to condition.
In cities the permitted free use of wa.

by those whose sleeping places were
akin to ovens, the free distribution of
ice, all bad effect in keeping the
death rate from soaring still higher but
the chief work to be done, the chief
lesson learned, is that of prevention

TILLMAN IN CHARLESTON
He Meets the Famous Chico and is

A special to The State from Charles

man and Miss Tillmsn, who have been
the guests of Sheriff Morrison, of BeIke-
ley county, at MoOlellsnville, for some
days, returned to Charleston Wednes-

stay at McClellanville, and the senator,
especially, had q good time. He is
considerably sunburnt rs q result of his
fishing trips, Senator Tillman and

that when he was governor, Charleston
was much drier town, and he did not
have metropolitan police, either, to
enforce the law.
When asked about Senator Nc l. ,urin
and commercial Democracy, he said
that he could see no good in Mel ,urin 8
politics, and could not understand what
MoLaurin was after, unless it wss an
office by President McKinley's appoint
rnent. He laughing!y referred to the
improvement in McLsurin's health
since his resignation was withdrawn.
Senator Tillman was driven over the
city, taking in the points of interest,
and he expressed his pleasure with what
he saw.
While out strolling Wednesday morn
ing, Senator Tiilman AMI Vincent
Chicco met in.the market, and the two
were introduced by Capt. Martin, who
was escorting the senator about the city.
We'll, are you the Chic that I've

Tillmsn.

Chicco that he had never sent him that
famous brand of Tillmau Chico, whis-
key which he had promised. Chicco
said he would send q bottle Immediate

cigars.
Daring the conversation something
was said about taking drink, but
Senator Tillmsn said he never INDUCED.
You look like man who takes

The members of the party laughed
heartily and passed on through the
market.

GEORGIA JUSTICE.
Two White Men Punished for Killing
Negro.

a dispatch from Atlanta says the
Shell Cochran case, which was decided
by the Georgia supreme court Thursday
against the convicted men, is one OF
the most interesting cases that has ever
come up from Campbell county. Shell
and Pegram Cochran and one of their
companions, . man named Hester, are
now convicted of numbering Sterling
Thompson, of Campbell county, during
Janusry of the present year, and they
all three face life sentences in the PEN
itentihry.
Indictments are in existence against
Steve Cochran and men named Nc.
kenzie, DeMouney and Reeves, who
will doubtless be tried at the next
term OF court, The case came up from
the superior court of Campbell county.
Judge John s Gambler presiding. The
story Of tho murder is perhaps best told
from the evidence of Hester, one of the
convicted men, who turned states evil
dence.
Sterling Thompson was an old negro
man, who held lease upon q farm
which had been purchased by old man
Chchrsn, the father of Shell Cochran.
The state gave as a motive for the
crime the fact that the Cochrans wan.
ted to occupy the Thompson farm. and
alleged that they adopted murder as
the best method of riddidg themselves
of him.
Hester testified that the Cocbr.n
boys had asked him to join in a con-
spiracy to whip cid man Thompson.
as the negro had been talking against
the whites. Hester stated that he,
Shell Cochran, Pegram Cochran and
Mckenzie, DsMouney and Reeves went
In buggies to the farm of the old ne
gro. AT store they stopped to ask
for light. The storekecper recogpiz
cd Mckenzie and go testified at the
trial.
When thty arrived at Thompson's
house, said Hester, Mckenzie, who
had been elected captain, called to
Thompson to come out aud help him
In attending his team. Thompson re
fused to come because his wife advised
him not to, she believing that she had
heard footsteps around the house.
Hester testified that the men told
Thompson they would batter down his
door if he did not come out. He again
refused aud with tools obtained from
a nearby blacksmith shop thsy batter
ed down his door. AS they entered,
said Hester, Thompson fred at them
with shotgun, filing the door facing
with squirrel shot.
They then fred volley at the ne.
gro, killing him. His son attacked the
white men with hoe and several shots
were fred at him. Afeer being kicked
Tor several times he was left for dead, as
he did not move.
Hester testified that the party haz
gone to ThompsonSs House for the =
pose of whipping him, but had been
forced to kill him. Hester also testi.

party, but the state contends -SS.s7e -S.7e

has suffered terribly IN parts of tho
west, especially in Missouri, Kansas

states has been broken by the rains Of
the past few days and the condition Of
corn improved very much. The Federal
department Of agriculture does not be
