ACCIDENTAL
KILLING.
John Langley, Of capmbeIl's Station
Meets Death Monday Morning.
A Victim of The Dldn't-KnowI 1t
Was Loaded" Fallacy.

The didn t. Know-it- was loaded fall
lacy resulted in the death of young
John Langley at Campbell Station
Monday, and leaves childless and
bowed with grief the two parents.
Young Langley, a boy about 10 years
age, and his neighbor, Fayette
Taylor. were preparing to go hunting
early this morning. They were at
Langley's home and were wiping out
his breech loading magazine gun. The
magazine was supposed to be empty.
After the gun had been wiped out,
Langley looking into the muzzle told
TAYLOR to see how the trigger worked.
Taylor thereupon pulled the trigger.
There was an explosion and Langley
fell at his companion feet with the
entire load of heavy shot driven into
his face and head. He died in few
minutes. He was the only child of
his parents, MIR. and Mrs. John D..
Langley, and they, together with
young Taylor, are said to be almost
crazed with grief

ferocity. The Democratic contention
is sustained by the President.
at il true that a good deal has been
said about the awful cruelties OF the
Filipinos Offering an excuse for retail
alton. but Smith himself is a witness
against this theory. In the signed
letter TO which | have referred he bears
witness TO the cordial and friendly
relations between the soldiers and
their little brown brothers. and said
it seemed almost impossible to make
his officers and men understand that
the natives were not little angels.
BALLANGIGA NO EXCUSE.
"Such was the feeling between ma
tiyes and soldiers, when Smith appear
ed on the scene with fire and sword :
policy. ready made. The massacre OF
Ballangiga was no excuse whatever
for the desolation of an entire prov
ince. That massacre, horrible ana
brutal as it was, was simply the uprls-
ing of people of single town against
acts of the most brutal oppression.
1.-The Secretary of War tries to find
precedents to Justify this 'howling
wilderness policy and to show that
it was necessary in order to make
effective the subjugation of the coun-
try. In so tar as he succeeds he sim
ply shifts the responsibility for the
instruments of this policy to the poll
CIV itself. According to Secretary
Root, slaughter and fire and famine
and desolation are a necessary part OF
our Philippine policy. If that be-
true it is time for the honorable Score
tary to abandon the self-lmposed task
of defending the army, which nobody
has attacked, and find some defense foI
the authors of this policy that has shed
SO much blood and spread SO much ruin
in the Philippines.

1.-THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY
Is Not Going to Anybody Says
Secretary Edwards,
"But is Jogging Right Along in the
Middle Of the Road and Doing

Washington, July 21.-The gossip from
New York respecting the possible forma-
ton of a newSD smocratic party, in case
certain Objectionable candidates were
nominated for the Presidency, brought
out the following statement from Secre
tary Edwards, of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee to day:
1.-THE Democratic Congressional Com
mittee is standing squa-ely on the
Kansas City platform. That is tie
only Democracy we know anything
about and it will be the only Democracy
there is until another National con
yention shall be held. This talk OF
threatening the formation OF new

Cleveland and Hill is all nonsense.

an issue. The Democracy stood for
the cumulative theory of money.
When the declaration was made by 1T
that the prosperity of the country de-
pended upon free coinage OF silver
there was not then the tremendous
gold production, which has since de-
veloped. Gold has supplied the guam
THY which was necessary and the silver
issue has, consequently, died natural
death.
"There are other Democratic issues
however, that are very much alive:
These issues need no advance agent
to call them to the attention OF the
people. They are uppermost in the
public mind and vital to the future
well being of the country.

SMALL BLAZE.
Barn at the Institute Destroyed Last
Monday Night

Barn at the 1nsClCuLe OcStroyou Aaoe
Monday Night
An alarm of fire from the Columbia
Institute at about s clock Monday
night, filled the minds of all Column
bians with foreboding. The fire was
in a small barn just back Of the stately
old school building, but the flames
burned 80 brightly and SO rapidly that
it looked from the street as it the
school building proper was burning.
The fire department answere
promptly and confined the fire to
the small building in which it started
The school surry and small amount
of hay was destroyed, with q total
loss of perhaps $500. A policy of
$40, 900 is carried on the school build
ing, but did not cover the t-build-
ings. The origin of the fire is not
known.
The Columbia Institute is perhaps
he stateliest. handsomest old building
in the South. and is dear to the
people of this place. Its destruction
would be source of general regret.

In an account in Saturdays Herald,
of fight at South Side Park Friday,
resulting from the Hampshire Goodwin
base ball game, the statement was
made that some Of the Goodwin team
were implicated in the tracus. MI.
e. G. Irvine and several OF the Goodwin
bows stated to Herald representative
Monday that the Goodwin team
figured only as peace-makers. That
the trouble was brought on by two
Columbia boys, and the fight was
between these two and some OF the
Hampshire men. That the two teams
parted in the friendliest OF spirits,
and would play another game at an
early date. ;.
The Hampshire boys say the write
up did them an injustice also, 80 the
Herald will withdraw from the fracas
ana leave the base ballists to tight 1t

The Republican Fear.

Possibly congress might have been
of assistance to the attorney general
by passing new and more strenuous
laws. It would have been still more
effective, though, had it attacked the
foundation Of the trusts-viz. the
monopolistic features Of the tariff law.
The Republican leaders were afraid to
open the tariff question. There was
danger that small aperture would be
taken advantage Of to push in general
revision. They preferred to stick to
the barons and take the chances on the
tariff issue. It sometimes looks as II
it would be best for the Democrats to
assume q restful attitude and wait for
victory to be carried to their doors. -

Promises to Become an Important

AOALAoCS W OCCOAAC 80 -. ~ 49,
Spot on Marry County's Map.
The Mt. Pleasant correspondent to
the Nashville American, writing
under date of July 81, says:
The movement of phosphate rock
from this point has been very heavy
for June and this far in July. One
company, the Federal Chemical, which
has been moving very large ship
ment of export rock, was comeplled to
work all day yesterday Sunday. 1t
is just completing a shipment OF IL, :
500 IONS, which it has accomplished
since June 6. This required nearly
900 cars. or almost two full train loads
per day.
The Central Phosphate Company is
also engaged on a Large export ship
ment, and it has ad to work both
day and night for some time past.
There is still a scarcity of labor,
which fact is quite troublesome to
those companies which have export
shipments to move.
The deal involving the Southport
field, which has been under negotla-
tion for several months. was completed
on the 18th, when Ruhm Bors., OF this
place, transferred to the Southport
Phosphate Company $40 acres OF land
in the Seventh Civil District OF this
county for a consideration aggregating
1882, 600. The new company has its
chief office in Louisville, KY. and its
capital stock is owned 81 per cent. by
the Federal Chemical Company, OF
Louisville, KY. and per cent. by
the Ruhm Brothers and E. l.. Gregory,
of this place. The lands in question
include the farms formerly owned by
L. P. Murphy, M. P. Murphy, K. c.
Murphy and 7. r. Phelps, and EN-
braces within their bounds the entire
village of Southport. 1t is probable
that the new owners will lay off adj
ditional town lots in Southport, AND
that village is likely to have as rapid
growth as Mt. Pleasant had from 1896
to 1899.
