MORE LAWLEssNEss.
Acts OF Negro Who Carries (, Win
chester Rifle.

The governor has been asked. by
leading citizens who reside near the
Savannah River, not far from Angus
t.. to offer reward for one Daniel
Hall. He furnishes the following
statement Of facts:
Please offer 4 reward for Daniel
Hall, colored. who made al assault on
me July 9Th by shooting at me four
times with a Winchester rifle, one
shot taking effect in bystandcrs heel.
He was about 100 yards distant from
me. This man is Il terror to this
neighborhood. both to white people as
well as the colored people. There are
several warrants out for him now for
different offences, but he being such a
desperate character, no constable cares
to tackle him. So the only way to
have him dealt with by the law is for
you to offer sufficient reward for his
capture.
Perhaps you would like to know
why he shot at me. 'TiS this. This
negro was interfering with travelling
man that had stopped at my store and
was trading with me. The negro was
in the wrong. l told him so, and I
said to him, / see you have your gun.
I will tell you if there is any shooting
here this morning, I will take hand,
so you must leave my premises and do
so at once you black rascal He did
leave very reluctantly as he saw I had
my gun "a double-barreled Shot gum
and meant business.
After he reached distance Of 100
yards up the road he stopped, and
cursed ME. The travelling man and
myself went into the road, then he
opened fire on US with his Winchester
rifle, came near hitting me twice and
did succeed in hitting the travelling
man in the heel.
L returned the fire with only one
barrel, as the other barrel refused to
fire. 1 had no more cartridges so l
was in bad fix. l was asked to get
up a lynching party and capture him.
but l am opposed to lynching only for
one crime, and I said no, if I could
not get any one to arrest him, would
have the governor offer sufficient re-
ward for him and have him dealt with
by the law. Every white man and
respectable negro in this section say
he must be caught and punished and
the only way to get him is for you to
offer good reward. A negro has just
told me that this man told him he did
not intend to leave, but intended to
kill the first white man that came to
arrest him. He carries his Winches-
ter rifle with him day and night and
I do not hesitate to say to you that
he is the most dangerous and desperate
man I ever saw"
The governor will doubtless offer
| the reward as requested.

MILLER PROTESTS.
Wants Capers to Stand by the Sc
lection Of Negro Doctors.

lection Of Negro Doctors.
Some time ago pension board Of eX-
aminers were appointed in several
cities in this State en- the recommen-
dation Of Mr.. Jno. G. Capers. On
each board one negro doctor was ap-
pointed, and the white doctors on the
board appointed in Greenville refused
to serve with the negro, and it was
said a few days ago that all the negro
doctors would be taken Off the differ
ent boards. This statement has
brought the following protest from T.
E. Miller, President Of the State Ne
gro College at Orangeburg:
Orangeburg, S. c., July is, 1902.
Hon. J. G. Capers, Charleston, S. G.
Dear Sir: l see it stated in the
dailies that the two white doctors at
Greenyille have refused to serve On the
pension board Of examiners with DR..
Smith because he is not white: and
that you will be called upon by the
officials in Washington to name a
white man in place Of DR.. Smith. In
this afternoons Record it is stated
that one Of the doctors in Columbia
has refused to serve for the same rea-
son on the board in Columbia.
In the name Of the negroes Of South
Carolina l most respectfully beg you
to stand by the appointment OF Drs.
Smith and Johnson for they are worthy
and competent. Should these white
doctors refuse to serve, and you should
stand up to Drs Smith and Johnson
the service will not suffer for | can
and If asked will name you doctors Of
nv race with which co torn the
boards at Greenyille and at Columbia.
l am out of politics, and for the
GOOD Of my work intend to stay out of
it: but, sir, the man who will not cry
out for his race should be damned. At
Beaufort and in Charleston negro doc
tors are members Of the pension
boards and upon said boards there are
white doctors who are of and from the
best families Of the State or nation.
Hoping that you will stand by Drs.
Smith and Johnson, am
Very respectfully,
Thos. E. Miller.

CLEVELAND A DEsERTER.
Bryan Writes Club That He Couldn't
Attend Dinner With Cleveland.

Officers of the Tilden Club have
received from William Jennings Bryan
his explanation why he did not ac-
knowledge bis invitation to the har-
mony dinner, says the New York
World.
Mr.. Bryan takes occasion to de-
nounce ex-President Cleveland, the
principal speaker at the dinner, as a
deSerter, and says that he cannot
understand why Cleveland should be
an honored guest at a political dinner
given by a Democratic club. Mr..
Bryan's letter in full is as follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., July 8.
Secretary Of the Tilden Club:
Dear Sir-Through the oversight
of a clerk in my office l did not see
the invitation sent by your club, and
did not know until last Wednesday
that one had been received. On that
day received a telegram from my
secretary addressed to meat Aberdeen,
S. D., saying that such a communica-
tion had been found.
I regret exceedingly that it did
not come to me before the time, for,
while l would not have thought pro-
per to accept, l would have acknow-
lodged the courtesy and given my
reason for declining.
When Mr.. Clveland left the Demo
cratic party in 1890 I recognized his
right to do SO and did not criticise his
decision, although as the party candi-
date l was compelled to bear the
odium which his administration had
brought upon the party-an odlum
which had already led to more dis
astrous defeat than any since ex-
perienced
He has never yet indicated his
intention to return to the Democratic
party, and his business interests are
such as to make his return improbable.
Until he does manifest some respect
for Democratic principles and policies
l do not understand why he should be
an honored guest at political dinner
given by a Democratic club.
Having thrown his influence to
the republican party in two cam
paigns, he is hardly in position to
advise the party which he abandoned
or, as he expressed it. banished him.
Il am anxious to see the party
grow in numbers and strength, but
it is absured to expect this result to
follow an attempt on the part Of
deserterS to turn the party over to
the control Of those who find the
society Of republicans more congen-
ial than the society Of those who be-
lieye in the platforms adopted in 1898
and 1900.
Harmony is only possible between
those who desire the triumph Of the
same principles and policies and it is
quite evident that Mr.. Cleyeland's
supporters are nearer to the republi-
can that the Democratic party.
Yours truly,
"W. J. BRYAN"

Club would discuss Mr.. Bryan's re-

The number Of Democrats in the
California delegation was increased
from one in 1894 to two it 1895,
though both were lost in 1900: that OF
the Illinois delegation from none in
1894 to five in 1896, and eleven in
1900: that Of the Indiana delegation
from none in 1894 to four in 1896, and
the gain held in 1900: that of Kansas
from one in 1894 to one in 1900: that
Of Massachusetts, from one in 1894 to
two in 1896 and three in 1900: that Of
Michigan from none In 1894 to one in

Under these circumstances, says Mr..
Louis F. Post, who compiled tie

The approaching centennial of the state

the celebration has been deferred to a later

reckon the date of Ohio's existence as
state from November %, 1902, the day on
which the states constitution trainers at
Chillicothe finished their work. That day
in 1902 will be the one at which most of
the papers Of the United States will doubt
less place the completion of Ohios hundred
years.
For many reasons Ohio Is one of the most

state at that particular place between the
Canadian boundary and the Ohio river. the
latter marking the northern line. of the
slave section, it formed the connecting link
between the free states of the Atlantic
seaboard of the old days and the free Sec
ton of the Mississippi valley and the far
west. All the lines of travel between these
sections passed through Ohio. The under
ground railroad of the slavery days had
more Zines and stations in Ohio than
it had in any other state. No common
wealth of the era which ended with the
adoption of the thirteenth amendment took
a larger part in the slavery. Controversy.

BOWLING.
Saengerbund Won Three Straight
Games From Carrol1s

Bowling that was fully up to the District
League standard was witnessed at Carroll
Institute last night In the regular league
match between the home club and the
Washington Saengerbund. While the result
was not exactly what was expected, the
home team being defeated in all of the
games. the match was brilliantly played
and abounded with notable features. Wi
lie Miller, a bowler whose work has al
ways been of the most cred.table charac-
ter, won new laurels and established a rec
ord in the league by rolling the thirty
frames without break. His scores were
all of the most uniform character, In eacn
game bowling slightly above 200; average
for the series. 2D6 pins. The feat is re-
markable in view of the fact that it was
not accomplished by any series of strikes,
doubles occurring only once each In the
opening and closing games and a triple be-
ing scored in the second.
The teams were of rather different make
up from any that have previously repre-
sented the Saengerbund or Carroll Insti-
tute. After an absence of several seasons
Bruegger returned to his old team the
Saengerbund, and to it's ranks the addition
OF Miller will. of course, bring. strength.
SpleSs now appears with the CAROLS and
last night did excellent work against his
old colleagues. Stitt also finds a new berth
IN appearing with the CAROLS, and this
veteran will doubtless bring strength to
the team. Rice was decidedly off form in
his play, and after the second game retired
in favor Of Howard, the CAROLS regular
substitute. Rice has had trouble with an
injured leg and may be out of the game
for week or two, but no one doubts the
ability of this experienced player to make
good.
The CAROLS started like sure winners
in the opening game and led for several
frames. Several breaks appeared in the
fifth and sixth, and the Saengers. aided
by the fine bowling of Laue who was re-
peatedly striking, forged ahead Every
man on the German five secured double
or better Laue having two triples on his
slate. The CAROLS were defeated by thirty
pins. The score follows:

and at the conclusion of the contest it was
conceded to be one of the best played
