HORRIBLE DEED
IN ANDERSON.

A horrible crime was committed
in Anderson county last Saturday
afternoon about o'clock A negro,
an ex-convict, named Laddison, from
Newberry county, who had served
his term and had been working as
farm hand in Anderson county, went
to the home Of Mr.. Perry Craft, about
eight miles from Anderson and asked
for something to eat. Mrs. Craft
was alone at the house and gave him
some potatoes, he became angry and
told her he believed he would kill her
She ran across the room, as she did
so the negro fired at her and the ball
entered her back. The negro ran.
A posse was soon in pursuit, he was
fired at several times and hit once in
the leg. He made his escape but
was found at negro house, the in
mates reporting his presence, he was
arrested and taken to Mrs. Crafts
who identified him. He was taken
out 10 the woods and lynched by 200
people. There were some twenty
negroes in the party. They asked to
be allowed to burn the scoundrel, but
we're not permitted to do so. The
negro was hung to a limb. After he
was dead he was cut down and left
on the ground with note pinned to
his coat announcing the crime for
which he was lynched. There was
no attempt at concealment. Mrs.
Craft is not expected to liye. 1t wa,
most diabolical deed, without pro-
vocation, and was enough to arouse
the Indignation Of every one in the
community, but it would have been
better to allow the law to take it's
course, as there could not be posi-
bility of doubt that he would have
been hung. No jury could have been
empanneled that would have hesi-
tated to hang him. We do not think
lynching is justifiable, with possi bly,
the exception of rape.

SEATTLE, WASH, July II, 1901.
EDITOR RECORD:
have promised to write a number
of my friends in Canon. and if YOU
will kindly publish this letter it NAV
cover all the ground. We reached
Seattle at 1870 p. m. on July 18th.
We tried to take in everything as we
came through. We stopped over in
Salt Lake and spent a profitable day
among the Saints. inquired for st.
Patrick the first one, but they ex-
planned that he was dead. There were
seven of US in the party and we hired
a carriage and took in the sights.
The driver was born in Salt Lake, he
said, and knew every foot of it. He
said his grandmother helped pull
handcart across the plains in lS47.
Here is the way he gave it to US:
Salt Lake was founded in lS47 by
Brigham Young; corner stone of tenn
pie laid April 6, 1853; temple finished
and Dedicated April 6. 1898; showed
US the first house built in Salt Lake;
the Lion, Bee Hive, and Gardo houses
built by brigham Young as residences
for his wives. He has six widows
still living; saw one of them with her
daughter. Saw the tabernacle and
attended the organ recital at 5 O'Clock
p. m. The driver then took us to the
tithing places where all collections
are made; the Salt Lake theatre: the
eagle gate; the grave of Brigham
Young, his statue in the middle of the
street, and many other places of in.
terest.
Salt Lake is very interesting city
and anyone visiting it should spend a
week there. We left the city atI
midnight over the Oregon Short Line
for Portland. At Kalama we crossed
the Columbia river on a huge boat;
| do not realize what was going on
until we were in the middle of the
river then discovered the whole
train of eight coaches and the engine
were on board the boat. We were
sooL over the river and in FIVE min
utes spinning across the state Of
Washington,
We reached Seattle without acci.
dent, glad the journey was over.
Since our arrival we have been over
the city considerable. Been to the
park. rode in the steam launch, and

Low Rates.

For some time the various news
papers of the city have pursued diff
ferent policies as to the charges for
certain kinds of advertising matter.
They have mutually agreed that in
the future the following classes OF
matter shall be charged for by each
paper in the city at the following uni
form though very low rates:
Card of Thanks, so cents.
Church, lodge or society notices in
regard to suppers, entertainments and
any affair where an admission fee is
charged, 5 cents line.
Resolutions of coincidence by lodges
or societies, 5 cents per line.

Destructive drasshoppers.

Whether the grassbopper plague
will prove to be serious or not is a
perplexing question to many people
in this section. Crops have not been
entirely exempt from their ravages,
and the pests seem to be working
their way into the city. Many gar
dens show the effect of their presence
through the foliage destroyed.
Outside the damage has been great
er. The sugar beet crop has seemed
the preferred diet. SO much SO that
the state penitentiary plat of ten
acres has been eaten up root and leaf,
and it became necessary TO put the
land into corn. One rsnchman on
Park Center lost bis entire crop.
while. as we are informed, large
part of the Stearns' ten.acre plat Of
sugar beets was eaten up.
1t behooves our ranch people TO
make some strong effort to dispose
OF this pest. Wet lawns. kerosene
sprinkled in continuous streak
around tract OF land. bran soaked
in paris green water. these and many
other remedies are recommended,

More recently two samples of water
were sent to the same chemist for

was hard or soft, it having been de-
clared good, wholesome water for
household use. The following letter
will explain itself:
DENVER, July 20, 1901.
Hon. j. H. PEABODY,
CANON CITY, Colo.
DEAR SIR-In accordance with your
instructions have only made deter
mination of the hardness in the two
samples cf water sent to me for ex-
animation The figures found are
S5.7 parts per million expressed in
terms of carbonate of lime or 4.97
grains per U. S. gallon
Those waters containing less than
100 per million of hardness are usu-
ally classed as soft, those above $50
as hard. You will see. therefore,
that the results are very favorable,
the figure S5 putting it into the me-
dium class. The water is consider
ably softer than that furnished to
Denver. ! am,
Yours very truly,

CANON CITY has the cheapest pow
ers on earth. Water power in abund-
ance; coal for manufacturing pur-
poses at 70 cents to 81 ton; and
electric power which is said to be
cheaper than either water or 70 cent
coal. These facts make Canon City
an excellent manufacturing point.

If CANON CITY is overdone with
anything it is newspapers. We have
four shops-just two too many. All
towns around about US that think
they are as big as Canon have less.
Salida only two, Florence and Victor
three, and Cripple Creek, six times as
big as Canon City has only four.

IF ANYBODY should imagine that
Canon City is wild and woody they are
badly mistaken. Few cities in the
east of equal size have so much cul-
ture, good society, educated people
and college degrees as has Canon.

CLOSED THEM Up
Post Exchanges Operated At Loss
With Beer Cut oet.

washington, Oct. 31.-The annual
report of Inspector General ]. c.
Breckenridge says that while there
are reports of harmony and gN>s viii
among the officers OF the army, the
expression all officers are thoroughly
instructed and Efficient" is not heard
so frequently as before the Spanish
war, due no doubt to the influx OF
young and inexperienced officers
Most reports, however. are favorable.
Some lack of attention given by OF
GERS to their daily life and duties Is
noted. The report commends the sa-
gacity and ability of officers who have
conducted civil affairs entrusted TO
them abroad. The class of recruits
received is reported generally up TO
the standard The discipline of the
troops is reported generally good.
OF the post exchange the general
says: The reports show that where
ever practicable post exchanges were
in operation at the garrisoned posts
at the time of the inspectors visits.
the prescribed rules and regulations
were being fully complied with ana
that their business was being salts
factoriIy conducted. A majority o.
pests at which exchanges are main
tanned were inspected before the law
prohit. ling the sale of beer in the can
teens were enacted, and most of the
reports would not show the effect of
the law upon them. At some of the
posts inspected since it was reported
that the exchange was closed, as ii
was hoing oDerated at a loss after the
sale of beer was prohibited, while at
others the operations under existing
laws were stated to be unsatisfactory.
