j. w. TOLBERT REPORTED SHOT.
Said to BE q Continuation of the
Trouble Two Years Ago.


A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Columbia. S. c., last night says: A
message received by Governor insolvency
indicates a renewal Of the race trouble
which occurred in Greenwood county two
years ago, when several negroes were
lynched and the Tolberts, leading republic
cans, were driven out.
James w. Tolbert is reported to have
been shot. He was postmaster at McCor-
mick at the time of the lynchings. and q
committee waited on him and told him to
leave town. He did 50. and then prose-
cuted the people in the United States
court The trial took place at Greenvlle
and acquittal resulted.
Tolbert has been at Mccormick several
times to attend to business and he has
written that the magistrate there offered
him no protection. Governor insolvency
advised the magistrate of the charge, and
1t explained that Tolbert was not be-
ing prosecuted by the magistrate, but the
latter could not act as bodyguard. To-
night Governor insolvency received a tele-
gram from Tolbert stating that he had
been shot and asking for protection. He
wanted a special train sent with protection
for him. No further details were given. .
Governor .McSWeeney. Immediately teie-
phUned Sheriff McCaslan at Greenwood and
Acting Sheriff ". B. Goings of Abbeville
to go to Mccormick at once and do every
thing possible for the protection of Tolbert
AMI to take charge of the situation and act
as their judgment dictated. He also tele-
graphed the intendant of Mccormick and
asked for full particulars relative to the
trouble. The first telegram received by
Governor insolvency was from Sheriff Nc
Caslan at Greenwood, which reads:
do not know any of the particulars.
Hear that Tolbert shot twice before he
was fired on, wounding a Georgian who
was standing on the street. No train from
here before 2:4o o'clock tomorrow. Will
await your wishes"

CIVIL GOVERNMENT NEAR.
Prospects for It's Establishment D.
the Phfliuniuea.

According to the latest advices from the
Philippine commission the time for the es-
Establishment of civil government in the
Philippines is near at hand. 1t was stated
at the War Department that the civil gov
eminent will be established as soon as
Judge Taft reports that the. conditions In
the islands justify such action. 1t is gem
orally understood that Judge Taft will be
the first civil governor of the islands and
that General Chaffee will succeed General
Macarthur in command OF the military
forces to be retained there to assist In the
maintenance of order and the enforcement
of the laws 1t Is not likely, however, that
there will be any immediate change in the
military Command or that there will be
any material reduction In the military
strength for many months to come. The
impression prevails that General MacAr-
thur will retain his command until June
next, regardless of when the civil govern
ment is organized. The Philippine commits
sion has recommended the adoption Of 3
tariff system, and its report is now under
consideration by the authorities at Wash
ington. The report will probably be made
public in few weeks in order that all in
terests affected may be fully informed and
heard on the subject before the proposed
tariff IL adopted and put into enect.

Judge Wilson issued a citation from the
probate court yesterday for the appear
anoe of VIM. J. Werlich, at the instiga-
ton of the latter's sister-in-law. who
charges him with having concealed money
and property belonging to the estate of
7. A Werlich. deceased. She further
charges thai he paid his own Individual
notes with the money from the estate.
The Weirichs have been In court on A
number Of previous occasions. Charles
A. Werlich. the husband Of the woman
above referred to. was adjudged insane
I'm 1894. and committed to the state asy-
lum. His wife was appointed his guardi-
an. Charles remained at the institution
for some time, and was finally released
upon the request Of his father, Peter
Werlich. who signed bond ia the sum
Of 500 as a guarantee that he would
maintain his son and hold him subject to
the order Of the probate court. The
mother Of the unfortunate man died In
1896. and rs her remains were being taken

the county Jail was reached. After hav-
ing been placed in a cell at the jail, he
asked the turnkey if he would be pro-
tected from the mob and was again an
swered in the Affirmative. At times he
became very violent and yesterday when
the city officers went to his cell. the first
question that Sutton was asked was. you
win protect me Il a woman comes to
identify me?" Sutton said yes that ne
would, and this appeared to satisfy the
colored man
The officers have the idea that he had
read so much about negro lynohings in
other states and talked and read about
the Fred Alexander affair and connected
with this was the Implication In the
Kinefsher affair that It turned his mind
and that his only thoughts now are about
lynchings. burning at the stake and SINH
lar things. The case is considered as
being very. peculiar and unless the ofEic-
ers from Kingfsher should arrive to-
morrow lunacy proceedings will be insti-
tuted in the probate court to have the
man adjudged insane.
The constant fear of mob and Of be-
ing Identified IS his only mania and yet.
II the officers give aim to understand that
ne win be protected. apparently he is all
right as long as they are with him.

FOR A BRICK PLANT
Local Company Being Organ
lied TO Push the Project.
SUITABLE CLAY Is FOUND
Meeting of People interested
Tomorrow Afternoon,

plans are being perfected by Wichita
men for the organization Of a local COM
pany for the manufacture of brick from
clay found on College Hill. which has
been examined by experts and found to
be very satisfactory The men interested
in the company have all ready had one
netting and tomorrow afternoon in the
Office Of the Weir city Coal company an
other meeting of the prospective investors
win be held.
The clay which IS suitable for the man
facture aof brick has been discovered on
property owned by the Kansas National
Bank and W. B. Jones on College Hill.
There is forty acres of the land and the
Kansas National people and Mr.. Jones
each have twenty acres. The clay 3
said to be Of splendid quality and If the
samples Of brick made from the clay is
evidence there IS no reason why Wichita
should not have d company formed and
the brick needed for the buildings in this
city produced right here.
Already machinery has been figured on
and if the company Is organized which is
now moro than a likelihood, the plant
viii be one Of the largest and most up
to-date affairs in this part Of the coun-
try. The engine and equipment can Re
secured within a short time if the com
pany decided to manufacture the brick
and It is proposed to have the plant in
oyeraton within short time.
The capital OF the new company would
he $1,000 This would be enough, it is
estimated to purchase the ground, secure
the machinery and arrange for all OF the
appliances for the up-to-date manufac-
ture of brick The method of the manu-
facture VIII be the most modern plant
now employed and that viii mean many
sheds, etc.
IF the clay for the manufacture Of the
brick is really what the experts think It
is, it has been found at just an opportune
time. This spring will see much building
in this city and if brick of good quality
can be made in this city, it means the
demands Of Wichita can be supplied by
the home manufacture The men inter
ested in the company being organized are
well known IN the city and realize that
II brick can be made here It win be
splendid industry, owing to the fact that
Wichita uses many thousands Of the pro-
duct every year.
There is hardly any question but what
the company viii be organized. One
business man interested in the concern
stated yesterday; There Is no reason
why home company should not supply
the demand for brick if the clay found
is what it is supposed to be. This spring
viii see much building in this city and
without any question there will be much
brick used in this city. 1t seems to be
from what is proposed that 8 company
can make money out Of the concern and
that it win be but a short time before a
plant viii be in operation.

SAN DIEGO RAILWAY

The members of the San Diego Eastern Railway committee have re- turned home, and ill an interview in Los Angeles, George w. Marston of the committee outlined the route of the road through the Imperial settlement to Yuma, up the Gila river to Phoenix, thence southeast to Bisbee. opening some of the finest mining country i'll Arizona, tapping transcontinental roads. The road is surveyed out sev- enty miles from San Diego, and MT. Marston says: "A corporation com posed of San Diego and Eastern men is soon to be organized This may possibly be interpreted to mean that the conference with representatives of the Phelps-Dodge railroad interests in E1 Paso resulted favorably. Those people are building westward rapidly, and would form strong alliance for San Diego.

Railroad BuildinQ

That big step will be taken ill con- nection with the building of the Los Angeles, Imperial and Arizona rail- road in the course of few weeks now seems certainty. It is expected dur ing the coming winter to complete the construction of the grade for the road from Calexico through Imperial to Old Beach, on the Southern Pacific railroad, and the actual work of mak- ing the grade will soon be ill progress. The road is expected to pass east of the business quarter of Imperial. It is hoped that it will be but about a year until trains are actually running over the road. The amount of freight which is in sight for the road, even for construction purposes in connection with the irrigation system, would make the road paying property now, while at the rate the land is being brought under cultivation it is cer- tain that there will be vast increase in business in the near future. It is proba ble that as soon as the Southern Pacific depot is built at Old Beach that the name of that station will be changed to Imperial Junction. The railroad people have objected to the length of the name, but it seems to so fit the condition that it is hoped the change will be made.

Dredger Coming

Before great while one of the De- velopment company's dredgers will start on d rather remarkable trip. It will leave the headgate at the river, proceed along the entire route of the big canal, digging a channel for it. self, until it finds its way into Mes quite lake. There it will be employed in throwing up dike to deepen the water in the lake. This lake will serve double purpose. Being close to Imperial, it will be very pleasant resort for hunting, fishing and picnic ing, while there will be provided an excellent reservoir from which to draw water for the irrigation of lands furth- CT northward. The lake covers 7OOO acres of land, and the array of water fowls to be seen there at present sur passes, proba bly, any similar body of water near to a settlement in the state. The lake at present is very difficult of approach, owing to the shallow, marshy land around the border, but when the dike is thrown up the water will be deepened and all easy approach will be made.

VALUE OF SILT

The water used on the Imperial set dement's for irrigation is heavily charged with silt, and Prof. K. H.. Forbes of the Arizona experiment. station has been Investigating the val ue of similar silt in that territory. He says i'll part:
 ''The two most valuable constituents of our river silts are nitrogen and or ganic matter, being precisely the ele- ments of fertility deficient in our burned-out arid region soils. The ad- dition and incorporation of these de- ticient materials is largely responsible for the wel1-known improvement by irrigation of desert lands.
 "The fertilizing value of the river silts to an irrigated district may be judged when it is stated that, for the year ending August 1, 1900, the mud deposited on the irrigated lands of Salt river valley, valued at commer- cia1 rates for fertilizers, amounted to about one million dollars, or, not far from eight dollars per acre for the val ley. Considered as an investment, this eight dollars of value, which is disre- garded in the cost of the water, re- turns with increase ill the resulting CrOpS."

WEATHER AT IMPERIAL

No country on the face of the earth could have a more delightful climate than that of Imperial at this season of the year. During the nights mercury registers a minimum of from 42 to 48 degrees above zero, making it comfor- table to sleep in the houses with two blankets over one, while those who prefer sleeping out of doors, as many do, wish three or four blankets, for old settlers of warm countries have thin blood.
 At sunrise the mercury approaches 60 degrees and the clear, bracing att mosphere makes one feel that life is truly worth the living. Up to Il o'clock the temperature has not risen to much, if any, above 70, and it is difficult to resist the temptation to work with vim.
 At noon the warmth amounts to about 80 degrees, and during the next two hours it rises about 8 degrees more, and one feels like putting on lighter coat or going in shirt sleeves.
 But soon there is a change, mercury falling slowly through the afternoon and evening, prompting early slum- bers, and most people retire between eight and nine o'clock, ready to rise with the sun on the morrow.
 When the bare statement is made that early in November the mercury here rises to from S2 to 88 degrees each day, the impression might be created that here heat is perpetual, and that it is enervating. The opposite of this is true. No more stimulating climatic condition could be conceived, and if there are two or three hours of warm weather during the day, it is not warmth to which any one would ob- ject, for it is most delightfully."- temper ed with gentle breezes.
 Winter on the delta of the Colorado is perpetual source of pleasure, and one which is worth the relinquish- ments of many of the joys and conl- forts of a more developed country.

lem, and the fact cannot be too early understood in the Imperial settlements that it is not only the duty of every person to protect the water from pollu- tion, but that the person who does pol lute the water flowing ill public ditches by allowing horses, cattle and other animals to have free access to it is amenable to the law for endangering the health of his fellow men.
 Some license of necessity prevails in a new country, but preservation of the purity of domestic water is of great importance to everybody, and the time to recognize this fact is at the begin ming of things.
