Served Him Right.

Late Saturday afternoon a negro
man, stranger in that section, met
a negro woman in the public road on
the Greenville side of the Saluda river
and attempted an assault. The wo-
man screamed and ran and the man
became frightened and also fed,
crossing the river to the Anderson
side. The woman gave the alarm and
a crowd of infuriated negroes Started'
out to hunt the man. He was captur-
ed near Shady Grove church, in
Anderson county, and his captors
started back into Greenville county
with him. They passed the home
of Mr.. J. NJ. Cox, a prominent
farmer, on the way, and after Mr..
Cox had found that the man had net
succeeded in his designs upon the Wo-
man he made the crowd promise not
to kill him, but told them frankly that
he would not care what else they did
to him. The negroes carried the
man over into Greenyille county to
the scene of his attempted crime.
There he was fully identified by his
intended victim, and he also confess
ed to what he had done. Then be
was carried into an old field and a
buggy trace was applied to his back
with great yigor and JUNCTION for quite
a while. It is said that when the
negroes finished with him the job was
as completely and thoroughly done as
if white men had been engaged in it.

Timely Suggestions.

These timely suggestions are thrown
out by a valued exchange: What
can the schools of the State do to-
wards intoxicating higher sense Of
the SacredneSS of human life? The
terrible recklessness in the use of fire.
arms is becoming a serious menace to
our civilization. 1t is time for teach
ers and all good citizens to raise their
voices against this fearful violation OF
law, both human and Divine. Human
life should be regarded as the holieSt
trust that society has in it's charge.
How far is the toy pistol responsible
for the pistol carrying mania, and the
consequent disregard Of life? The
young lad is given a toy pistol, he
learns to handle it, and to snap his
paper cartridge But soon he tires
Of the toy, and wants to own sure
enough gun" that will kill something.
Teachers and parents are familiar
with this process Of evolution. Let
the toy pistol be banished from the
school and from the home, if you
would keep from developing in that
boy the murderous instincts Of the
savage. Teach the child the sacred
ness Of human life,-yes, all life"

ALONE ROBBER.
A Railroad Engineer Shot Dead and
the Train Robbed.

An eastbound passenger train on the
Northern Pacific was held up last
night near Drummond. Mont, and
Engineer Dan O'Neill was killed. The
train, which included mail, baggage
and express cars and nine coaches az
rived at MiSSoula at 1920 p. M, and
proceeded eastward after a short de-
lay at the station. 1t arrived after
midnight at place two miles west
Of DrummOnd. Here the train was
sjgnalled to stop and the engineer
slowed up. While doing SO, he saw
man creeping toward him over the
tender. The man, who was armed,
called to O'Neill to stop the train
instantly.
The engineer took in the situation
at once and pulling open the throttle,
tried to start the train at full speed.
The robber OWNED his purpose, and
fired at him. The shot took instant
effect and the engineer fell dead at
his post. The robber then proceeded
to rifle the express and mail cars. He
plundered the regular mail and blew
open the safe in the express car which
was wrecked by the explosion. The
amount of plunder he secured is not
known at present but it is supposed
to be large. The excitement on the
train was intense. The sudden stop
page OF the train followed soon by the
explosion, spread alarm among the
train hands and the passengers. The
darkness of the night and the loneli-
ness of the place added to the general
scenes of terror.
Word of the attack was sent to
Drummond, whenceit was telegraphed
to Deeer Lodge, about so miles away.
Bloodhounds were sent out at once
and steps were taken to keep vigilant
watch for the robbers.
1t was assumed that at least eight !
men were engaged in the hold-up but
the latest adyiceS are that one man
alone perpetrated the murder and
robbery. Dan O'Neill, the dead engi-
neer, lived in this city and had wife
and FIVE children. He had been in the
service of the Northern Pacific longer
than any other engineer. The robber
boasted that he was the man who
took part in the hold-up of the South
ern Pacific train near Portland, Ore,
about one year ago. He made this
boast to the train hands to terrorize
them while he employed them to run
the train four miles to a point two
miles east Of Drummond. He declared
that he would be hard to catch, as he
had horse in the timber. The
Northern Pacific has offered reward
of S., 900 for delivery, dead or alive, of
the train robber who killed O'Neill.
The mask worn by the bandit was
found on a mountain trail, two miles
from the scene Of the hold-up and
that after giving the hounds the scent
of the mask, the animals Immediately
took up the trail, which was then
about eight hours old.

\ Good Example.

Several of the up-cOuntry papers
have recently noted the fact that for
mer residents in Texas are sending to
this state the wcevil insect which has
wrought millions Of dollars worth OF
destruction the cotton crop in that
state. These insects are sent IN bot
ties as specimens, but 1t Is an eX-
ccedingly dangerous practice on ac-
count Of the liability OF their intro
Guction into this state. y Ncwberry
farmer who received a bottle OF Speci-
mems promptly burned the insects in
the presence ot witnesses, so that II
they ever become an evil in this state
he could not be held responsible. Ills
example ought to be followed by
everybody who receive any Of the
pests.

Held up and Robbed.

A special dispatch to The State
from Spartanburg says daring high
way robbery occurred in that county
Thursday night about two miles from
Fingersville. The deed was success
fully executed by three white men on
a lone spot on the public highway
leading to North Carolina, and which
thoroughfare. Mr. John Cantrell, who
wagons for Mr.. George R. Branscomb,
was travelling in wagon. Mr.. Can't
rell is an honestj hard-working young
white man, and Thursday carried five
bales of cotton to the Fingerville mills
and sold the staple. From the trans
action he received about 5000 in round
numbers, and with this sum he pro-
ceeded to start for Melvin Hill, n. c.,
where his employer lives. After pro-
ceeding some distance from Finger
vile, he was suddenly confronted by
three undisguised white men, stand
ing in the middle Of the road. He
could not recognize any one OF the
three. One of the strangers present.

A Beautiful Idea.

Away among the AlleghanieS there
is spring so small that a single OK
could drain it dry on summer day.
1t steals it's unobtrusive way among
the hills till it spreads out in the
beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches
away Thousand miles, leaving on its
banks more than a thousand villages
and cities, and bearing on it's bosom
more than half thousand steamboats,.
Then joining on the Mississippi, it
stretches away some twelve hundred
miles more, till it falls into the great
emblem Of eternity. 1t is one of the
tributaries of the ocean, which,
obedient only to God, shall roll and
roar until the angel, with one foot on
the sea and the other on the land,
shall lift up his hand to heaven and
swear that time shall be no longer.
So with moral influence. 1t IS the
rill, the rivulet the ocean, boundless
and fathomleSS as eternity.

Horrible Accident.

Rejected tle Treaty.

The Danish lanGsthing has rejected
the treaty providing for the sale of
the Danish West Indies to the United

ground urged in this country # IL

The Law DEFIED.
Two Fiends Hanged Before the Eyes
of the Judge.

After being tried with legal form
and procedure for criminal assault
and murder and given the death penal
ty in each case, Jim Wesley and Red
dick Barton. negroes, were late Tues
day afternoon taken from the authori.
ties and lynched in the public square
at Hampstead, Tex, by an infuriated
mob.
The district judge asked the cover
nor for troops to accompany the ne
groes to Hampstead from the jail at
Houston where they were safe. Al
the request OF large number OF citi-
zens OF Hampstead who signed writ
ten promise TO aid the authorities in
preventing any mob law it is said
Judge Thompson countermanded his
request and the troops did not accom-
pany the negroes.
Barton was first tried He plead
guilty to criminal assault and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
63: Sunday. October II. The jurles
in each case on which were several
negroes promptly returned verdictS Of
the death penalty. During the after
noon Wesley was put on trial. lie
plead guilty to assault and then to
the murder charge, but while the
second trial was going on a mob broke
into the court room and attempted to
take him, having learned that the
sheriff had finally asked for troops.
The mob was dispersed and trial pro-
ceeded, the State putting through its
testimony hurriedly in coroboration of
the plea OF guilty. Both juries as
signed the death penalty.
The officers of the court sat about
the room awaiting the coming Of
troops when there was sudden move
ment on the part of several men in
the room. The sheriff was overpow-
cred and Wesley was taken posses
cion Of by the mob and hurried away.
Another portion Of the mob attacked
the jail and Barton was surrendered
to them without a struggle. The
two prisoners were hustled to the
public square and there executed by
hanging. Neither Of them had been
sentenced and District Judge Thomp-
son had positively refused to permit
them to waive the thirty days OF grace
allowed them by law. ltwas the gen.
eral desire that they die quickly. They
are hanging to the arm Of telephone
pole, where only last month a negro
murderer had been strung up by a
mob.
Sheriff Lipscomb was badly hurt
about the back by the rough treat
ment of the mob. During the first
rush a shot was accidentally fired and
Sheriff Sparks of Lee county was
wounded in the stomach, though not
seriously. The governor was informed
OF the iynching but as yet has had
nothing to say.

a special dispatch from Anderson
to The State says: D. W. Hopkins, a
white man made several attempts at

ly after dark he took off his suspend
ers and tied them around his neck and

above his head, and allowed his feet to
drag the floor. He was strangling
when solne negroes in an adjoining
cell noticed him. They gave the
alarm and Street Overseer Lee, who
was near, ran in and cut him down,
He was soon revived and Mr.. Lee left
the premises. Twice more he swung
himself up by his underclothing, but
was cut down. Then he tried to butt
his brains out against the sides OF
the cell, but gave it up after one or
two attempts. Finally the police got
some opiate and gave him and then he
quieted down and went to sleep.

Created @ Panic.

A panic was created in the male
alcoholic ward at Bellevue Hospital in
New York Thursday when man.
who said he was Peter n. Balm, 60
years of age, a speculator, drew two
3S-calibre revolyers from his pocket
and began firing in the room. The
man had just been taken to the ward
after having gone voluntarily to the
hospital. Just as he got inside the
door he suddenly sprang away from
the attendants and, placing his back
against the Wall, shouted: l am
Tracy, the outlaw: beware Of me; I'll
kill everybody in sight" Then he
drew the pistols and began to fire.
There were seventeen patients in the
ward and they were in the widest
confusion until Balm was overpowered
by ten men. No one was injured,
most of the shots passing through an
open window.

BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
Whitman Wants to Prohibit Chair
man Jones from Putting
NAME OF HEYWARD ON TICKET,
Governor. The Matter Taken
Into the United States
Canrt

Whitman, who has been standing
candidate for Governor for 10 these
many years has broken out in brand
new place. a dispatch from Union to
The State says: G. Walt Whitman
has brought action for an injunction
against Col. Willie Jones, chairman Of
the State Democratic Committee, re-
straining them from putting the name
of Hon. D. G. Hayward on the ticket
for governor. He has also filed an in
junction against the Hon. d. G. Hey
ward himself restraining him from
running in the general election in No
vember as a candidate Of the Demo-
cratic party under the guisc Of the
Democratic nominee. The matter was
brought up before Judge Buchanan
while he was here at court which has
just closed.
Mr.. Whitman says in his petition
that he filed this pledge within the
prescribed time by and according to
the rules and regulations of the Dem
ocratic party in this State. The pro-
ceedings are supported by the atfida-
Wits of S. G. DePasS, who was then in
his brothers law office, but is now a
student in the South Carolina College.
Further in the petition he says he
has never been a candidate in the
true meaning Of the word, out that
he is not averse to filling the office OF
governor if elected on the platform of
broad and liberal ideas of education.
He says he has exhausted all the
rights and remedies by appeal to the
State Executive Committee. He now
thinks all the candidates for governor
ought to be allowed to run on their
own merits in the general election and
let the people decide who they want
tC be governor.
The proceeding before Judge Bu-
chanan were based on number Of atti-
davits, sworn to before w. w. Dixon,
United States Commissioner. The affi-
davitS were those of DR.. J. G. Going,
Col. James Munro, DR.. Wallace Culp
and Capt. Jas. E. Hunter.
Most of the afidayits were to the
effect that they knew Mr.. Whitman
to be of age, and qualified elector,
that his Democracy is above par when
compared with other members Of the
general assembly Of the State. They
say they know that Mr.. Whitman is
anxious to be governor. Mentally and
physically, they know he is able to
run for governor, and that he will do
SO, and may make good executive
officer.
Then Capt. Jas. E. Hunter says
that Mr.. Whitman'S pledge was filed,
in writing. 1t was written on a pos
tai card and was mailed by S. G. De-
Pass. Judge Buchanan after hearing
oral arguments from all the Union
bar on the case reversed his decision.
1t is said that Mr.. Whitman has car
ried it to Greenville before Judge
BraWley.
