for his newspaper and that he would de-
liver no speeches and attend no public din

silver or paramount Issues" Mr.. Bryan
was questioned about various matters of
public interest and made the following re-
plies: "It looks as if the Nicaraguan canal
project had fallen through. The trans
continental railroads and the Mckinley
administration are responsible The rail-
roads were afraid that if the water was
used for the canal there would not be
enough left for their stocks If the Re-
publican party makes no more progress
in the next four years than it made in the
last four, it will soon reach it's finish. This

ton of trusts we fought in the last cam

Serious Charge Against Reputable Merchants

three business houses, composing the

burned. There was an explosion in the

A sensational feature developed when
w. +. Dennis, of Smith & Dennis, gen
eral merchants, was arrested on a charge
of arson. Smith had left the town when
citizens called at his place. Dennis re-
fuses to talk. Because of the peculiar

cion rested on these men and a search OF
their premises revealed boxes of goods,

rHIRrY KILLED IN RACE RIOT.
Serious Trouble ia the States Of Louisiana
and Mississippi.

New Orleans (Special) "A race war
that already numbers among its victims
20 white men and negroes, is raging in
and around Balltown, in Washington
parish, this State, a few miles from the
boundary line OF Mississippi, and COM
pany of militiamen from the First Loui-
siania Brigade is being rushed to the
scene to put a stop to hostilities.
SO far as can be gathered from the
meager sources of information at present
available the cause of the bitterness that
has led to the outbreak is the determina-
tion of the colored men of the region to
kill one of their own race, who, under or.
ders of the whites last Wednesday set
FIRE 10 pyre about a negro, who was be-
ing put TO death for brutal assault and
attempted murder
OF the men already killed as a result
of several rife battles that have been go
ing on since Sunday, five are whites and
the remainder colored. When the fight
ing began the colored men met their foes
in the open, but in the afternoon several
of them fed across the Mississippi line,
where the Columbia State Guards are
stationed to protect them and others are
entrenching themselves in houses in the
heart of the town.
In all probability the struggle is now
resolving itself into a man hunt with the
negroes seeking whatever shelter they
can find. The whites far outnumber
them in the neighborhood of Balltown.
Squads of men are reported patroling the
country round the settlement, and they
are shooting them down in cold blood
wherever they find them. Sheriff ST.
mons, of Washington Parish, has tele--
graphed to Governor Heard that it will
be impossible for him to restore order
without the assistance of the militia.
Last Wednesday Bill Morris, a negro,
assaulted and attempted to murder
white woman, Mrs. John Ball, who now
is said to be dying at her home. Morris
was caught on the same afternoon and,
in the presence of several hundred peo.
pie, was burned at the stake in the mid
die of the town, after being chained to
pine sapling and surrounded by a great
heap of pine knots Another negro was
forced to set fire to the wood, and as soon
as the eolored population heard of the
affair they held meeting and denounced
the man for his cowardice in complying
with the demands of the white Violent
speeches stirred them to action, and they
determined to catch the offender and
burn him at the stake in revenge.
