Negro Rapist Burned.

Lockview, Texas, May 23.-The cul
mination of a man hunt, which has been
in progress since last Saturday, was
reached yesterday when Dudley Morgan,
colored, who assaulted Mrs. Mckee, wife
of Texas Pacific foreman, at Lansing,
Texas, was burned at the stake near
Lansing. 1t was learned yesterday
morning that the negro had been cap.
tured and was being taken to Lansing
for Identification and by II O'Clock great
throngs had gathered at the Lansing
switch, and looking over the ground de-
cided to mako arrangements to burn the
negro about quarter of mile away on
the line of the county road.
The negro was escorted by 200 men,
armed with Winckesters, to the place of
execution. AS he was chained to the
stake he said he desired to make a
statement. Morgan confessed to having
committed the crime, and after being Sc
curely chained to the stake with his
hands and legs free, the members of the
mob began to take ties from fire already
started and burn out his eyes. They
held the burning. timbers to his neck
and after burning his clothes off, to other
parts of his body. The negro screamed
in agony. He was tortured in a slow
and painful manner, while the crowd
clamored for still slower punishment
The negro begged piteously to be shot
Persons held each other on their
shoulders, taking turn about looking at
the awful sight. The negro's head
finally dropped and the ties were piled
around and over him. In half an hour
only the trunk of the negro remained
AS soon as tho heat would permit parts
of his skull and body were gathered up
by some and carried away. Section
Foreman Mckee, husband of the woman
assaulted, applied the match to the fag-
gots. Many women were present from
the surrounding country. but owing to
tho great crush they had very little
opportunity to see the negro until the
the heat had died down.
Mrs. Mckee was brought to the scene
in carriage, accompanied by four other
women, and an effort was made to get
the carriage close enough for her to see
the negro. The crowd was 80 dense,
however, that it was impossible.

Two Wofford Bishops.

Dallas, Texas, May 23.-The general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, yesterday elected DR.. e.
e. Hoss, of Tennessee, and DIR. A. Coke
Smith, of Virginia, bishops. DR.. Hoss
is editor of the official paper of the
Methodists, published at Nashville. Only
one session of the conference was held,
Bishop Hendrix presiding.
The election of DR.. Coke Smith to the
bishopric gives Wofford College the'dis-
tincton of having two alumni in the
cabinet, Bishop Duncan being the other.
No other college in the South enjoys
that distinction. DR.. Smith graduated
from Wofford in the class of 1872 and
served for number of years as q mem
ber of the faculty of that institution. 1t
is also worthy of mention that both he
and Bishop Duncan were financial agents
of the college.
DIR. Smith is native of South Carolina
ana was Tor many years member of the
South Carolina Conference. Several
years ago he was transferred to the Vir-
ginia Conference and is now stationed at
the First Methodist church at Norfolk,
one of the most important stations in the
church. He Is well known in Spartan
burg and his many friends there will be
pleased to know of the high honor con-
ferred upon him.

Prof. Wallace. He wore pleasant

took of what was set before her and
after bidding DR.. and Mrs. Wallace
adieu, observed carriage awaiting
her at the front gateway. Francois
and Mary Eta were usherod in first
and occupied the rear seat, while the
one in front remained vacant for
Her and Irby. The little company
was melancholy on this occasion, and
all were deeply wrapped in medita-
tions, as the carriage ratified on
through the bustling streets of Win
derville toward the station. They
arrived just as the train rolled into
the city. Her placed kiss upon
the brow of both Francois and
Mary Eta. The parting between
herself and Prof. Wallace was not
very warm, but, as he bid her fare
well, he placed tightly folded note
into her hands, saying, "Read this
at your leisure, Miss Her. Wishing
you a very pleasant journey and
trusting you will visit the college
sometime in the near future, I shall
bid you adieu. Remember the
promise"
He grasped her hand cordially,
then lifted his hat as they separated,
and the train rolled away, but she
could see the group from the car
window and obtained one farewell
glance. She watched them until
they became as tiny specks before
her vision and finally entirely van
ished from view.

Read the Forty-First Psalm.

A wellto-do deacon in Connecti-
cut was one day accosted by his pas
tor who said:
"Poor widow Green's wood is out.
Can you not take her a load ?"
"Well," answered the deacon, "I
have the wood and l have the team,
but who is to pay me for it? ?"
The pastor replied 'I will pay
you for it, on condition that you
read three verses of the 41st Psalm
before you go to bed tonight"
The deacon consented, delivered
the wood, and at night opened the
word of God and read the passage
"Blessed is he that considerth the
poor, the Lord will deliver him in
time of trouble. The Lord will pre-
serve him and keep him alive; and
he shall be blessed upon the earth
and thou wilt not deliver him unto
the will of his enemies. The Lord
will strengthen him upon the bed of
languishing thou will make all his
bed in his sickness"
A few days afterwards the pastor
met him again.
GLOW much do owe you, deacon,
for that load of wood ?"
"Oh," said the now enlightened
man, edo not speak of payment
did not know these promises were in
the Bible. / would not take money
for supplying the widows wants."

that he might have separated from
his wife in some distant town, and

make up the quarrel, and I actually
came to feel hard toward her because
she refused to write. 1t seemed to
