A SINNER OyERTAXEN.
Archie Brearley, Who Stole on the Run,
is a Prisoner.

Florence. Nov. 11.-Archie Rrearley,
Sumter negro who has been dodging
the officers of the law for two years,
was arrested at the passenger depot IN
this city Saturday morning by Sheriff
Burcb and Detective J. G. Blount,
and was taken to Sumter and lodged
in jail. He is wanted here on charge
of grand larceny. Brearley worked two
year ago on the local freight between
Florence and Sumter, and it is said
that he would dump bales of cotton OF
the train between stations, which
his pals would haul to Sumter and sell
Then the proceeds would be divided
with Brearley. Detectives were put to
work::on thelcase and Brearley was soon
spotted, but he 'sloped" before he
could be arrested, He went to Geor-
gia and thence to Florida. Recently
he returned home on visit, and ne

JIM TILLMAN LEADS d MOB.
Lieutenant Governor of South
Carolina a Would-be
Lyncher.

The Columbia Record of Thursday
publishes the following concerning the
attempt to lynch the Edgefeld fire.
bug:
Gas might have been expected, as
soon as it was learned that the negro
had been caught the first thought Of
highly wrought up and indignant
citizens was lynching. The sheriff re-
allied this state of feeling as soon
as he got the negro in his custody.
He intended to take his prisoner to
Trenton and bring him to Columbia
for safekeeping, but while on the way
he was reliably informed that mob
was forming, headed by Lieutenant
Governor Iillman, who intended to
take the prisoner from him and lynch
him near Trenton. The sheriff deter
mined to prevent this violation Of law
even if the lieutenant governor was at
the head of the party. He therefore
took to the woods and made a long
and circuitous route, caught train
and came by Branchville to Columbia.
"These facts were learned from one
OF the party who came here with the
prisoner, who volunteered the inform
ation that they had to make long,
difficult and tiresome journey to get
here in order to get away from jim
Tillman and his mob. The negro is
now safe behind the penitentiary
walls.
sThe information was also given
that the reason it was not desired that
Bostick should be lynched was because
it was expected that he would confess
and implicate other negroes engaged
in the plot to burn the town.
GA dispatch from Edge6eld denies
that there was any organized attempt
at lynching, but the sheriff evidently
thought there was, else he would not
have taken the long route that he
did ;,

The TARIFF Fight.
German Reichstag Authorizes Gov
ernmenf to Retaliate Against
American Protection.

Berlin, Nov. 13.-The reichstag to-
day adopted by 1872 to Il votes the
paragraph of the new tariff bill auth
orizing the government to retaliate on
any country discriminating against
German goods. The agrarians openly
affirmed that it. was necessary to arm
the government with weapons for re.
prisa, especially against the United
States customs practices. DR.. Runner,
National-Liberal, cited an instance in
which he said $4,000 worth of
enameled goods were ordered in Ger
many for New York but the speaker
asserted the customs officials changed
the classification at the instance Of the
American trust, wherepuon the New
York importer cancelled the order
The incident of the day was Herr
Richter's declaration that obstruction
in parliamentary body was contrary
to the dignity of the house and that,
besides, it was futile and childish.
The old radical leaders, withdrew
from the minority and his action in
supporting the Conservative and Cen
ter party with which he had been fight
ing for three years, caused Herr Be-
bell (Socialistj, to rise, point a finger
at Herr Richter and exclaimed passion
ately:
"Go to the right. Your place is
among the anti-Semites -
Herr Richter made an angry answer,
which was lost IN the uproar which
followed Herr Bebel's remarks.
Herr Richter's entire party followed
him and acted with the majority
against the Socialists and Moderate
Radicals
The proceedings in the reichstag to-
day demonstrated that the house rules
can and will be changed SO that the
tariff obstructionlsts will no longer be
able to prevent the dispatch of bust
ness. By succession of roll calls, in
which the majority commanded over
two hundred votes out Of an atten-
dance of less than three hundred, the
reichstag determined to set aside the
order of business and take up motion
to change the rules. The house has
been in continuous session since noon
and the fight apparently will be con-
tinued tonight until the amendments
to the rules are carried.
The Associated Press is authorized
to announce that the ministry has not
decided to drop the tariff bill, as pub
lished in London, but is determined to
persist until the dissolution of the
reichstag in June. The tariff debate
will probably be abruptly suspended
by the presentation of the budget in a
few days instead of waiting for the
first week in December, as previously
intended. Chancellor Won Buelow
finds that the reichstag's time is bieng
wasted and wants to employ the house
on the finance bill AS soon as the
latter is ready the government will
take up the tariff bill, when lapse OF
time will have reduced the majority IN
the house to more yielding disposi-
ton. The ministry also has decided
not to agree with Russia or any other
country for a FIVE years extension Of
existing commercial treaties.

Information Concerning important

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Benuettsville, Nov. i3.-Ihefe is
"a law on the statute books acts OF
1902, page GIL the provisions of
which may not be generally known.
Your correspondent has asked several
officials about it and none seem to
know that such an act had been pass
ed. The treasurer and auditor Of this
county were surprised to find it and
say they have received no notice Of it
from the tax department IN Columbia.
Treasurer Thomas has written to other
treasurers in regard to it and some Of
them have replied that they know
nothing of such law.
This act provides that On all taxes
not paid By December 3lst penalty OF
/ per cent. shall be added On their tax
duplicates by the auditor and collected
by the treasurer. After February Ist
an additional per cent. shal be add
ed, and after March lst an additional
5 per cent. IF the taxes and accrued
penalties are not paid by March 10Th,
the treasurer shall issue his tax ex-
ecution.
The officials here say that this law
will cause an endless amount of con-
fusion in the tax department. A large
number of taxpayers may prefer to
keep their money until March lst
and pay the additional 2 per cent, and
it would be difficult for the auditor to
add the first penalty on all the
duplicates in time for the treasurer to
begin collecting before the second
penalty would be due.
The law was no doubt passed to re.
move the necessity for an extension OF
time for paying taxes, but the Mari
boro treasurer and auditor think the
time should be extended this year to
save the tax departments of the coun-
ties from very serious tangle.

Democratic leaders have discovered that
the deaths in the Philippines have been
ten natives to one American.
This is denounced as sheer slaughter
Mot of us would attribute it 10 the better
MAJ ksmanship Of the Americans, and their
better guns, but The enemies of the
American army aud the American people
insiet that it is bloody slaughter.
The Democrats ought to put this itsue
in their platform in this way
"Resolved, That we view with alarm the
slaughtef Of Ten Filipinos to one American,
and we pledge ourselves 10 reverse this
ratio without the consent of any other
nation"
Some cold statistcians insist that if We
credit the account with the natives whose
lives have been saved by improved condi.
tions, the ratio would in be reversed, but
our Democratic friends do not intend to
take in the whole situation; they wish to
fix public attention on the CHASTITY ratio of
ten to one.

A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

One of the most serious questions now
before the American public il that of
adulierated and poisoned foods. 1t has
reached that,pa2lt where many OF the
articles of food that are retaied, though
very tempting to the eye and palate, are
either frauds. SO far as nutrtive qualities
are concei ned, or are loaded with chemic
ais that are slow but sure posons.
Some Of the States of the Union, among
them Ohio and Pennsylvania, have very
stringent LAWS against the sale ofadulterat.
ed and poisoned foods, but most Of the
States have no su:h laws. The best way,
ia our judgment, to reach and suppress
the evil is by tue enactment and enforce
ment of general Law by the Federal
Government. This law could and would
be more Systematically enforced 10y the
National Government than would various
and conflicting measures adopted and
operated by the several States of the
Union.
Not only is the health Of our own people
in serious danger from the manufacture
and sale of sdnlterated and poisoned
articles of fool, but our trade with foreign
countries is being greatly impaired on that
account. The Emperor of Germany has
recently made decree against the i'm
portation Of u,eats into that country that
have been preserved by the use of chemic-
ais. This decree will injure our trade
with Germany TO the extent of from $40,
100000 to $4,000. OOJ annually. The
American packers have been raising a
hue and cry against the Emperor for
taking the step he has, but he is right;
and the masses of our people should be
thankful that he hrs taken such action.

FRILLS OF FASHION
Fresh Bits of FInery That Are Now
in Favor with the DevOtees
of Dress.

The fashionable French walking
skirt clears the floor by an inch and
a half. 1t is just short enough to
avoid the trouble of lifting, and yet
long enough to be in good taste. 1t
is sometimes laid in box plaits all
around, stitched down fiat to a little
below the knee, where the fullness
flares out. This sort of skirt requires
no petticoat underneath, which is
something in the interest of econ
omy, says the New York Sun.
White camelias are a very popular
flower in millinery, and gardenias
rank next in order, as they resemble
the former in their peculiar white
ness and general style.
Rumor comes from Paris that the
corset, for women under 30, is
doomed. Some leading physician has
framed a bill forPidding women to
wear them until after they have
passed three decades, and penalties,
very severe, are to be inflicted on
women who violate this law and also
upon those who sell them the corsets.
However, it is one thing to suggest
and anoIlier to declare, so there may
be some obstacles in the way of bill
which interferes with woman's priv
ilege of dressing as she pleases.
White lilies one at each side Of the
head in front, are the latest idea for
the bridal couture, while for general
evening wear pretty decorations are
made of velvet, gold or silver leaves.
Old-fashioned Spanish lace scarfs
are used for muffs, made up with
chiffon, which, wadded, of course,
forms the foundation, and the frills
as well. The scarf twists around the
center, and ties in a knot and ends,
fastened with bunch of flowers or
a handsome buckle.
We may look for ends at the back
of our hats when the spring styles
come in. In fact, they are in evidence
already OH the fur hats as well as
those of lighter materials. Little
frills of lace or chiffon with lace ends
fall in the hair from the side of the
back, giving pretty graceful outline.
Mohair grenadines, very sheer, with
white grounds patterned with differ
ent delicate colors in a silky design,
are conspicuous among the new mate
rials.
The new petticoats show many
narrow founces edged with lace, put
on so that they overlap one another
fully half their width to give the de-
sired fluff around the feet.
Pearls are very popular for en-
broidery decorations on satin and |
lace evening gowns. Gray and black
pearls are both combined with tn,
white most effeeayely.
Every other woman you see at the
theater has a white tulle chou at the
back of her neck, but the latest use
of this little necklet reverses the or
der and puts the bow in front. This,
with pretty coat and furs, is very
becoming.
Raisins are one of the new garni-
lures for hats, and are very effective
on pale pink mousseline with clus-
ter of autumn leaves.
