A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Four y Negroes Goes to- n Gentlcman's
House to Assassinatc Him.

On last Sunday night week there
was committed near Cameron an out
rage by several negroes that merits
the Severest punishment, and we hope
the rascals who committed it, and who
the heavy hand OF the law. About
eleven o'clock OF the night above
named four negroes went to the home
of MIR. j. NJ. StallingS, who lives a few
miles from Cameron, and called to
him to come out. Mr.. Stallings, now
ing that there were several persons in
the yard, declined TO go out, and asked
what was wanted. The negroes made
some inSolent answer and began
throwing bricks and other missiles into
the house through the window. In the
meantime Mr.. Stallings had his pis-
tol and was endeavoring to get Il
chance to shoot some Of the Scoun-
drels. The black bruteS remained
sometime in the yard, cursing and
yelling, but finding that Mr.. Stall
ingS was ready for them, they finally
left.
BY some means it was ascertained
that a negro by the name OF Russell
was in the gang that committed the
outrage. He was taken in custody,
when he give the whole thing away.
He confessed that he and three other
negroes had gone to Mr.. Stallings for
the purpose of assassinating him and
then robbing the place. Had Mr..
StallingS came out when called he
would have been shot down, and then
the ladies and children of the family
would have been at the mercy Of these
tiendiSh, black bruteS. We shudder
when we think Of what might have
happened had it not been for t he fore
| thought of Mr.. StallingS. No doubt
| every one in the house would have been
| murdered and the house set on fire
and burned to the ground had Mr..
StallingS came out and been aSSaSSi-
mated as the plotterS intended.
The names of the three negroes i'm
plicated by Russell, is Caleb Hamp-
ton, Peter Dantzler and ISiah HaneS.
All of them lived in the neighborhood
| OF Cameron, and are well-known to
the people of that section. All of
| them have been arrested and are now
in Jail. 1t is reported that others are
concerned in the plot, and we have no
doubt but that is true. II so, we hope
they too will be apprehended and
punished to the full extent OF the law.
The people in the section where the
outrage was committed are deter
mined that an example will be made
of these rascalS, who, really, deserve
hanging, as they fully intended, by
their own confession, To commit muir
der, and possibly blacker crime had
opportunity offered. This outrage
should be a warming to those people
who live in isolated sections. Let
them all prepare for such emergencies
as confronted Mr.. Stallings 1t is a
pity he did not have in his house a
good Winchester rifle. Then he might
have given these scoundrelS what they
richly deserved. -Orangcburg Times

\ Columbia Mystery.

The Columbia State says Wednes-
day morning while some workmen
were eScavating for the foundations
Of Mr.. Allwordens new building op-
posite the Independent engine house a
grueSome find was made. Portions
of skull and some bones were uncov-
cred, all very old and i'm a very dry
and decompoSed condition, almost
crumbling to pieces at the touch of
the human hand. The skull when
carefully examined seemed to be that
of negro, the receding forehead be-
ing easily recognized when the por-
tionS were fitted together. How old
the bones were no one could venture
to say. The skull may have belonged
to prehistoric man who was wont
TO roam about the forests attired only
in goat skin petticoat and a smile,
or mayhap upon it once rested Fed
eral soldiers cap. The bones may
have been carefully laid away by low
ing hands or they may have had buried
with them the black secret OF foul
murder. An Old house stood over the
spot where the skull was found until
torn down for the present work.

Gently went on visit to West Nir-

somewhat frigid.

General Lee.
"Oh, nothing much" was the non
committal reply.
There is something wrong" per-
sisted the general. Out with it!
What do you want?"
After being strenuously urged the
old comrade said;
We'll, / want to die at least half
an hour before you do. | want to be

there, just TO hear what General Jubal
Early says when he sees you in a blue

4 Wicrn Story.

n strang case is being tried in a
Montana Court. 1t was reported that
a man named j. G.. PaulSan had com
mittcd suicide in March, 1897. The
body was at once placed in a receiving
vault by his wife, who had refused tu
admit anyone to the house to see the
body. An insurance company which
carried S6, 900 on PaulSon'S life became
suspicious. had a local agent inveSti-
gate the death, and he saw the body
In the vault. but said the face Of Paul
son was ycay lifclike. The insurance,
however, was paid. Mrs Paulson start
ed for Germany with what was sup
posed to be the body Of her husband,
and is now living in some island prov
ince Of that country. The insurance
agent and his attorneys and witnesses
at the trial declared their belief that
PaulsOn is not dead. but that ne fcign-
ed death afterwards made his escape
and is alive TODAY.

Shot RoprS Like HabbifS

The London Morning Leader pub
fishes the alleged story of the crimes
which led to the courtmartial and eX-
ecution of two Australian officers in
South Africa which is just now cXcit-
ing keen indignation in Australia
The newspaper asserts that several
officers of this particular irregular
corps shot Beers like rabbits and that
they are even suspected of numbering
men of their own command. The in
cident which led To their courtmartial
was the cOld-blOoded execution" by
these officers of ten Beers supposedly
having 20, 600 pounds, who were Jour
neying to Petersburg to surrender.
The Australians stopped the Beers.
tried them by mock COurtmartial and
ordered all to be shot. This was done
by a squadron Of the soldiers after
some Of the nOn-cOmmiSSiOncd officers
had refused to carry out the death
sentence. The officers then ranSacked
the BOcr wagons but found the 20, ,0OO
pounds was in TranSvaal money. Lieu
tenant Hancock, one of the Austria
lianS concerned, fearing German
missionary would divulgc his informa-
tiOn, shot the missionary dead.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Why State Pensioners Have To BE
Somewhat Patient

The following official statement for
the benefit of the pensioners of the
State was issued Wednesday from the
State pension department:
Every year almost as soon as the
legislature adjourns and the appropria-
tion for pensions becomes available,
such questions are constantly asked, as
When will the money be paid out?"
Why should the poor old soldiers and
widows be kept waiting so long for
their money, when they need it so
badly?" etc, etc.
These and various other questions
can best he answered by simple state
ment of the amount OF work necessary
before this fund can be diSbursed.
The various county pension boards
are supposed to meet on the third
Monday in January OF each year, to
pass on all new applications and revise
the old list of pensioners. 1t is neces-
Sary i'm every county to have several
meetings before they can get their
reports i'm proper shape to send i'm to
the State pension hoard, and even,
after they are received here, every
mail brings in belated applications
from the chairmen requesting that
they he added to their rolls. This is
not the fault OF the boards, but is due
to the fact that the applicants for
pensions often are unacquainted with
the time the board meets, or have had
difficulties in getting witnesses, etc. ::
In many cases the boards held their re-
ports back purposelv hoping to get all
the applications in at once. The State
board requested that all the re-
ports should be in by March l, but
the last one has just come In, and
therefore it was impossible to call a
meeting of the State pension board be-
fore.
The State pension board when it
meets has to consider each new appli-
cation, which is necessarily n slow
and tedious process, and also hear ap-
peals. etc. 1t is quite likely they will
be in session several days this year as
the number OF new applications is very
large. After their work is over, the
pension clerk then has to prepare the
pay rolls for the clerks OF court of
each county, and as there are over
5000 names, this of itself takes some
little time.
Il t is the desire of the State pen
sion board to pay the pensioners Just
as soon as possible as they who are in
constant touch with them, know Just
how great is their need % this help,
and every expedition possible is used. "

THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION
Great Crowds Are Now Going to
Visit IL.

The Charleston correspondent of the
State says Wednesday was the great
est day in the eXposition'S history sc
far as crowds are concerned. The
same correspondent, writing on We'd
nesday say for the last 36 hours the
railroads have been pouring people
into Charleston by the thousands.
Every train entering the city has been
loaded to oyerilOwing and the trains
have been divided into sections of
eight and ten coaches each. AT this
time it is impossible to estimate how
many have come within that time but
il is certain that Charleston now has
within her gates the largest crowd of
the exposition. To-day the grounds
were for once animated. The people
were so numerousaS to delight and in
Spire the folks who have been for
months explaining and describing
their exhibits to the casual inspector
or to each other. Today there were
plenty OF visitors to talk to and the
conceSSionaircs were joyous. The
Carolina. Educational Week and the
rock bottom Tuesday rates have
brought them. 4 number OF colleges
and schools are here and many pupils
are accompanied by their parents.
Teachers and fathers and mothers
were today eScOrting the children
around the grounds and an occasional
weeping spell was INDUCED in by the
youngsters too tried to do more sight
seeing. The difference i'm the charac-
ter Of the crowds now here and the
visitors on earlier occasions is most
noticeable. The Yankee, the silk hat

Bryan Is Right.

Hon. +. y. Hood of Chattanooga,

Wednesday received letter from
Hon. w. j. Bryan in response to an
inquiry for an opinion on the proposed
campaign issue. In his letter Mr..
Bryan said: i am afraid that so
long as | live | will be accused OF hav-
ing ambition: however, the fact that
| am editing a paper and exposing the
rccoganizerS ought to convince the
people that | am not planning for per-
SOnal preferment While | believe
that the Democratic party would
quite generally be in favor OF the
taking care OF the Confederate graves
along with the graves OF Union Soldi-
erS, | am satisfied that If it was put
forth as campaign issue it would
a"oSuSe bitterness which might de-
lay reforms far more. With the
southern people the taking care OF the
Confederate graves is patriotic duty
and one that the southern people
would not be willing to have entirely
turned over to the Federal authori-
Ties and there are certain great re-
forms which are OF great value to the
people Of the south and which might
be lost sight OF i'm condition that

Money Making Scheme.

The Columbia State says THURSDAY
morning there was an interesting
scene at the old union depot, recently
abandoned. The work OF tearing up
the floor was commenced. There was
no trouble in finding labOrers who
wished to take the work offered, with
the chance OF what they could get.
And they were wise men. MANY
have often remarked that when the
old floor came up there would be rich
finds. So ii proved yesterday. All
kinds OF money, ranging in size from
dollars to one cent pieces were found
by the workmcn. A large number of
pocket knives were also found, and
other articles OF more or less value
The workmen needed no urging to
make them tear up the floor i'm a
hurry, but once a board had been re-
moved it was difficult to get him to
tear up the next There was an
interesting scramble all the way
through.
