 When the architects went to see the President on the proposition to rep1ir and remodel the White House and build small temporary office structure back of where the conservatories now are, the President met them with twenty-two dog matic suggestions as to what he wanted done. He had great plans. He wanted the dining room so-and-so and the bed rooms so-and-so, and had good-sizcd gymnasium arranged in his mind.
 Architects are diplomatic people; They rarely deal with Presidents. but they do deal with positive folk, and they gener- ally have their own way. The result of their skillful handling of the President has been that they have eliminated. one by one, the twenty-two suggestions the President insisted on at first and have their own plans approved.

 Newspapers are read carefully at the White House. The President has acquir- ed the McKinlev trick of keeping his ear to the ground.

We have seen good deal about Quay winning out over Elkins in the Penn syivania convention. but that is not ex- acf1y the correct way to put it.

An attempt to get up an organization simply for the pie that may be dispensed is not going to arouse any great amount of enthusiasm in Alabama. Nor will the attempt of faction to boost itself into power by attempting to play upon preju- dice commend itself to the voters.

Murder and q Lynching.

Charleston, S. c., Doc. 27.-A
special to the News and Courier from
Greenwood, s. c., says
W. K. Jay, prominent young far
mer OF the Troy section OF this county,
WAS foully murdered in his own yard
By negro, Oliver Wideman, and his
wife, bosh Of shem.living on the place.
Both Of the negroes were lynched by
jays Infatuated neighboes. Mr.. Jay,
on returning home Friday afternoon
heard Wideman abusing or fighting
his (Widemsn's) wife. He vent to
tho cabin and ordered the negroes to
be quiet. Immediately aftorward
Mrs. Jay heard the report Of gun and
saw the two negroes RAINING away.
Calling for her husband, she had no
answer, and on looking over che yard
found him dead in pool Of his own
blood. Almost his entire head had
been blown off.
The alarm was given and parties
were soon securing the country in per-
suit of the negroes. THY were cap
tured. Before the corone,'9 inquest
both acknowledged the deed, but the
man said the woman did it, and the
woman accused the man.
They never changed from this, but
died accusing each other Of the crime.
While in the custody of constable on
the way to Jail they we're stopped al
the Winterseat bridge by crowd Of
infuriated friends and neighbors Of Jay
where both negroes were lynched
The lynching took place about mid
night, several hours after the inquest
W. X. Jay was good citizen ent
prominent Mason, having been higl
official in the Grand Lodge of Soutl
Carolina.

Another Advance In OIL.

New York, Dec. 25.-Again the
price of oil has been advanced.
The Standard Company to-day raised
the figure for refined kerosene one cent
a gallon, making the prevailing price
1O3 cents, the highest the commodity
has reached in more than twenty
years.
Those who control the output Of oil
have been quick to seize the opportu.
nifty to squeeze the consumers. Con-
sumption of oil for heating and illumi-
mating purposes has increased enor-
mously owing to the scarcity of coal.
In corresponding ratio the price
has been advanced By the Standard
Oil Company 2 cents since the begin
ming of the anthracite coal troubles.
There ic no telling how far the price
will be advanced in the near future.
Oil has proved substitute for coal as
fuel on steamships and locomotives,
and new market has thus been Great
ed that has made the Oil Trust, which
controls 80 per cent of all the petro-
leum produced in this country, more
Independent and powerful than eyer
before.
With oil at 10} cents to tobbers, it
is estimated that the resulting in-
crease in the income Of the Standard
Oil Company is no less than ZIG, ,OOO,-
09O annually on Gales in this country
alone.
Stockholders in the oil company re-
ceived their quarterly dividends for
1902 on Monday. The installment
was 10 per cent, amounting to s1O,-
100000. Dividends for the entire
year were'$45 900, 900 and stockholders
may expect a liberal increase next
summer.
1t is said that one reason for the
steady increase in price is the fear of
decreased production, as many wells
in Pennsylvania show indications Of
giving out.
While dividends to stockholders
amounted to As per cent in 1902, last
year and the years before they were 48
per cent.
The decrease during 1902 is due to
the fact that the company has bought
up new property in Texas end built
new vessels for the carrying trade.
