Lynched for Brutal InUrder.

Two negro boys, Harrison and James
Gillespie, aged respectively IL and II
years, who were under arrest charged
with killing Corneia Benson, on farm
in Rowan county, Monday last, were
taken from jail at Salisbury, \. c..
early this morning and hanged to a
tree in the railroad yards. Their
bodies were then riddled with bullets.
About 50 men composed the mob and
all wore masks. The militia had been
called out by authority of the COVER
nor about midnight, but as everything
appeared quiet they had diSbanded
when the mob suddenly appeared and
battered down the Jail door. The ne
groes were in the attic Of the jail but
the mob readily found them and drove
rapidly out of town, firing as it went.
After lynching the negroes the mob
quietly dispersed. The negroes ad-
mitted that they beat the young wo-
mans brains out with rocks because
she tried to make them leave her pre-
misses.

The police OF Butte, Mont. has IN
eartehd a startling conspiracy to doa
wholesale kidnapping business among
the wealthy>familieS of Butte and the
alleged leader of the band. Sam Con
sentino, is under arrest. An attempt

Of leading merchants bankers and

Republican Responsibility.

The current issue Of the Philadel,
phia City and State" devotes a
lengthy editorial to President Roose-
velt'S Memorial Day speech, OF which
the following is an extract: 1t is
the cause of American Imperialism
for which the President stands in op-
position to the cause Of American
Democracy. These two conflicting
forces are steadily drawing near one
another for the final contest-for the
death grapple. There is no possibili-
ty of reconciliation between them.
One Of these causes rests on the Shift
ing, slippery sands of Sophism and
falsehood, the other on the immutable
rock of truth. By the logic of cir
cumstances that none can resist, mul-
titudes of us are being led into this
valley of decision, out OF which we
cannot pass until we have girded our
selves for the battle and have IN
sheaUhed our weapons to Smite and
slay the armies of the aliens"

Learn to Breath Properly

1t is possible for woman to exer-
else her whole body to keep it strong
and well, simply by breathing proper
ly. Children should be taught to
breathe and to get into the habit OF
filling the whole lung space at each
inhalation and Of emptying it COM
pletely at each eXhalation. There is
no better way OF getting to sleep soon
after going to bed than by breathing
properly. Push away the pillow and
lie fiat upon The back with the mus
cles relaxed. Slowly draw in the
deepest breath possible, hold it for
four seconds, chen slowly expel it un-
til the chest and abdomen have col
lapsed. Repeat this until you are
tired or fall asleep. There are scores
Of ways OF varying this exercise. But
this is the essential. OF course it is
assumed that one sleeps with her bed
room windows open.

4 Paid Witness.

camino. a former member OF
Aguinaldo's cabinet. who has been
brought to Washington by the ad-
ministration to be made witness in
behalf of the administrations Philip
pine policy before the house and senate
committees, by confronting him with
a copy of a certified address written
and signed by himself to the Ameri-
can congress, in which he declared
that President Mckinley was seeking
by fcrce Of arms to impose American
sovereignty on the Philippines and
that independence was the only thing
that would make life and property
safe in the Philippines. In other words
Representative Jones has proven that
this willy Filipino was an advocate
for independence until he had his
opinions changed by being placed on
the American payroll.

TILLMAN HANDS OF.
lie says He Is Backing No Candi.
date Nor Fighting ANY.

In view of numerous reports about
this man and that man being Till
mans candidate" for the senate, a
statement made to the Washington
cores pondent of the Columbia. State
by Senator Tillman Friday almost on
the eve Of the campaign may prove OF
interest in the State to the 'wc2ld be-;
senators and their friends.
There is really no reason why I
should mix up in this race" said Sem
ator Tillman, NOR do I intend to take
the slightest part in it one way or the
other. 1t is true that before Evans
entered the race there was but one
candidate in the. field, Representative
Latimer, who had not at one time op-
posed me. For this reason, thinking
to hurt Representative Latimer's
chances for election, the report has
been circulated that I was backing
Latimer. 1t is untrue to say that I
am backing" any one of the candi-
dates and the circulators Of this report
hurt Mr.. Latimer's chances by the
gratuitous falsehood. Now that Mr..
Evans has definitely announced his
candidacy for the senate there will be
two of my former supporters, in the
race another reason why I am not
called upon to take hand.
''But it should be remembered that
none of the candidates in the race are
running for the senate against me.
They are after the junior senatorship.
And because in the past the other can
didates, Mr.. Elliott, Mr.. Hemphill.
Mr.. Henderson and Mr.. JohnStone,
have been political opponents of mine
does not seem to me to furnish either
an excuse or reason for my meddling
in the game.
1T is rule, adopted in the '90s,
that no one who is not candidate
shall be allowed to speak in the cam
paign. That rule met my approval
at the time Of its adoption and it
meets mine now. You can therefore
say that any report circulated by any
body to the effect that am backing
Latimer, Evans, or any Of the other
senatorial candidates, is not only with
out authority but is absolutely false.
l have said this several times before
and assert it again on the eve Of the
campaign"
This leaves the candidates with an
open field. No one will be able to
raise the cry OF Tillmanism, for no
one is for or against that ism" in
the race

The Amended Road Law.

The road law, as amended by the
recent legislature, is amended in re-
gard to the age specifications, and
henceforth those liable to road duty
come within the range Of from eigh-
teen to fifty years. instead OF from
twenty. one to fifty years, as hereto
fore. This amendment to the law was
opposed, it is understood, by every
member Of the Spartanburg county
delegation in the general assembly.
The members Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives from the lower portion OF
the state voted solidly for this amend
ment on account Of the fact that 1t
would render 1t possible to place so
many idle, lettering negro youths at
work in improving the roads OF the
state. The law is uniform through
out the state, in order to make it con-

for the needs of the State government
The State Of New Jersey does not levy
one dollar of taxes for State purposes
but the secretary Of states office there
supplies nearly every dollar required

Indiana levieS less than l mill. Car
we realize it: when we have beer
eroaning under the burden placed or
0,lr shoulderS2 | have in my posses
sion statement Of the levy for State
taxation in % of the States OF tho
Union for the year 1898: in 81 Of them
il is less than 3 mills: in seven less
than , mills.
Relief should be sought. where it car
be found. in a readjustment OF the
burden. The land-owning and prop,
erty-holding class Of the people have
mad the entire load on their shoulders
while large classes of our people. Oft
times the best able to bear the burden,
are escaping. How much taxes do the
professional men of the State pay:
Yet the man who makes and spends
s.. 900 year is better able to con-
tribute 500 to support the govern
ment than the man who owns 800
acres Of uncultivated land. The negro
population pays pittance for UAe
schools and roads. but does not con-
tribute anything tG support the ma
chinery Of the State government.
The methods of accomplishing the
end have pointed out are as varied
as have been the experience OF Jhe
other States OF this Union. New
York recently grappled with this prob
lem wicl confr0nts us, and. directed
by Gov. O'Dell: an aStute lawyer. sue
ceeded in so adjusting her law as to
collect Sl5,0O0.000 of the $50, 100000
required to run her State government
from other sources than direct levy
upon the real estate and personal
property of the people, Can we not
find some method, if the majority OF
the States of the Union have found a
method? Must we supinely confess
that. with the knife in our hands, and
the example before US, we are unable
to cut the knot? l would not tempt
to say from whence every dollar should
come, but the wisdom Of our legisla-
tors can find the way, if we elect men
who will earnestly seek remedy.
l am not advocating an untried
theory, but ask the genaral assembly
to follow the path blaZed out by the
other States Of this Union. The tax
commission OF Texas asserted in 1899
that if yhe entire taxes Of the State
were levied against the real and
personal property Of the people, as we
are doing here in South Carolina,
there woulc be such an outcry as has
not been heard since the oppressive
days following the Civil war.
