A horrible crime was committed in
Belleville, Illinois, on the night of June 6 .
David II. Wyatt, negro school teacher,
killed Charles Hertel, superintendent Of
the public schools of st. Clair county. for
refusing to renew his teaching certificate,
and because the negro killed Hertel, the
citizens of Belleville lynched him. After
hanging the negro, his body was taken
down, dashed to telephone pole, saturated
with coal oil and burned. On Sunday, it
is stated, fully 10000 persons visited the
scene of the lynching, examined the charred
remains, and "not one word was heard
againt the action of the mob" and all the
negroes were warned to leave the town.
The sheriff and his assistants held the mob
in check, but were finally forced to sur
render the prisoner. To lynch or kill a
negro South of Mason and Dixon line for
assaulting women is heralded as the quint-
essence of barbarism by nearly all who
live North of that line, but to lynch and
burn the dead body of negro for shooting
a man, is right in their eyes.

Republican Harmony.

The "Harmony' at the meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee on
Wednesday seems to have all been on the
surface. Congressman Mudd says the re-
lations between himself and Senator Nc
Comas are just the same as they were be-
fore the meeting-McComas is fighting
him in the fifth district and he is doing all
he can to defeat McComas for reelection to
the Senate Mudd says there is no agree
ment by which McComas is to be returned
to the Senate and S. A Williams is to be
nominated for Governor. IF the latter is
nominated, Mudd says he will be defeated.
He also says the Republican organization
in Baltimore city ought to go.

So LIVES LOST.
And Property Loss SO. 500, 900 by
a Cloudburst in South Carolina.

Two of the three great cotton mills at Paco-
let, S. c., two of the four at Clifton, and the
mill at Glendale operated by the d. E. Con-
verse Company were totally or partly destroy
ed at a. N. June 6.
As result of cloudburst in the early
morning hours the Pacolet river rose to an
unprecedented height and swept the great
mill structures from their foundations. About
1900 operatives in these mills are thrown out
of work and within Il few days will be in need
of daily bread.
At 6 a. NJ. it was noticed that the water was
rising rapidly in the Pacolet river, but no
special importance was attached to 1t by the
mill operatives, who began to form in line to
enter the mills At mills No. l and the
water pressure soon became dangerous, the
boiler rooms were submerged and the work
men were ordered back.
A little later the fury of the raging river
struck Mill No. l, sweeping the plant entirely
away. The strong current then swept against
No. 2, demolishing that mill and leaving only
the cIothroom standing. The big bridge over
Pacoet river. steel structure, was carried
awav bv the flood which had burst through
the dams.
The wareroom, with $500 bales of cotton
and 200 bales of domestic cloth, followed, all
the cotton being carried down stream.
At Pacolet Mill No. 3 one-half the picker
room and five stories on the left side OF the
long building were washed away. The main
building. supported by thick brick wall, is
still standing, but is shaky and may collapse
at any time The boiler room is gone. but the
smokestack is yet standing. The dam at No.
9 is intact All the machinery in tins mill Is
ruined.
AT Glendale four warehouses filled with
1 ~
along with the dam across Lawson's Fork
and the trestle of the city electric railway
The mill at Glendale was not materially dam
aged.
At Clifton the main building of the Clifton
factory collapsed and the water rose till the
second floor of the mill was four feet deep
40 or so feet above the ordinary water mark.
The Converse mill is almost demolished,
nothing standing except the picker room
building, which is badly wrecked. The Gilt
ton Mill No. 3 almost lost its boiler room,
machine shops, engine room and smokestack,
The Whitney mills on Mawson's Fork were
damaged by the heavy rise OF the water and
some houses and Il steel bridge at theat point
were swept away. At the Tucapau miles the
water rose to the second floor of the building
and considerably damaged the machinery.
Victor NJ. Montgomery is the owner OF both
the PacOet mills al SpartanDurg anu tliat az
New Holland, Ga, which were so seriously
crippled by the tornado near Gainesville June
|.
Later details of the food on Sunday night
have increased the estimate of the dead from
25, as at first supposed, TO So, most of whom
are thought to be mill hands. The bodies Of
many persons have been recovered. The
property loss is estimated at fully So, 500. 900.
The great Sapphire dam did not break, as
feared, and the mills on the Seneca river es-
caped serious injury.

Republican Inconsistency.

Our Republican friends tell us that
strikes only occur when times are good and
the country is prosperous. When any
hint at tariff revision is made they tell us
to let we'll enough alone, and point to the
fact that the wheels of industry are revolv-
ing everywhere, labor is employed and con-
tentment and prosperity prevail.
Here are two Numerically opposed
statements Labor is employed and pros
perty and contentment prevail. Labor
strikes and is unemployed and great
period of prosperity prevails.
Now what do they mean? Both state
ments cannot be true:
IF the country is prosperous when labor
is employed, how can it be when labor Is
idle?
Strikes only occur during prosperous
times, they tell us. Do strikes add to the
prosperity or retard it? One would judge
from Republican reasoning that strikes
were good for the country. When labor
is unemployed prosperity is widespread.
On the other hand they point to the fact
that labor is employed and everything is
booming.
Common sense would indicate that la
Dor is earning more when at work than
when idle, and so is capital, and that when
employed there would be more prosperity
than when on strike But Republicans do
not talk much common sense on the tariff
and prosperity.

John Edward Addicks, the Boston gas
man, who moved to Delaware for the pur-
pose of obtaining seat in the United States
Senate, and depended upon the corruption
of voters to reach the goal of his ambition,
was in Baltimore few days ago and said
he was still a candidate for the Senate, and
expected to win. There was an election
in Wilmington last Saturday and the
Democrats swept the city by l, 800 ma
jority, electing the mayor and nine of the
twelve councilman. This does not look
like Addicks will 90 to the Senate, but
rather that Democrat will represent the
State in part. Delaware now has two
Republicans in the United States Senate,
but the term of one will expire soon.
