the lumbermen yesterday, in deciding
not to grant the increase which was
done last week, is taken to mean that
they intend to fight it out, and the

The merchants have but little to

that they will take no steps at pres

The lumbermen say they have
nothing to lose except time as there

town. Berry had been in town the
cay of the crime and had left the
morning after. Hearing that he was
wanted he went to the county seat and
surrendered himself
1t now transpires that the coroner's
jury rendered a verdict charging the
sheriff and Berry with the crime upon
the testimony of Hope Coleman and
John Jeter negroes who swore that
the fatal shot was fired by Berry or
Rhoden, they could not tell which.
Coleman also swore that he heard Ber-
ry tell Rhoden a few minutes before
the shooting that he intended to kill
man, and Rhoden promised to help
him. None of the white men who
were near the scene of the crime could
tell who fired the shot.
This is the first time in many years
that a county sheriff has been arrest
ed upon such a charge in South Caro-
lima. 1t is noteworthy that Saluda
county is a part of the original Edge
field county and is the county for the
formation of which the late George
d. Tillman made such a strenuous
fight i'm the constitutional convention
of 1895, an incident of which was the
bitter fight over the naming of the
county, during which Uncle George"
and Ben Tillman had their personal
passage at arms.

Saturday night in the county of

the body of Bob Church, a negro, "

moments the negro breathed his last.
There was no one in sight.
A great sensation was created on
Monday evening when the coroner's

since the occurrence, adjourned and the
coroner, without intimating to any one
the nature of the verdict, walked
across the street, and going into a

Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 9.-Just about
1000 freight cars, loaded, are tied up
in the yards of the different railroads
on account of the strike of the long
shoremen.
This number is divided between the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Bruins
wick and Birmingham, the Southern
having only about twenty-five tied up.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the Southern last week unloaded all
cars in the city and then stopped re-
ceiving freight, that Is, for the lum-
Der merchants, destined for this port.
The Brunswick and Birmingham and
Atlantic Coast Line have both now
taken this step and no more cars will
be received. The Brunswick and Birm-
ingham as well as the other two lines,
laid off many hands to-day, pending a
settlement of the strike. The Bruins
wick and Birmingham, of course, laid
off the largest number, and men in
almost every department of the line
were cut off.
Nothing new developed to turn the
situation to-day, and there is still no

fare-you-well. AS a result of less than
four hours play one certain captain,
who wears dropping moustache (when
he's not having his picture taken), has
organized school of instruction among
the knights of the green cloth.
Sunday saw the end of the paste
boards. Nothing of any consequence
happened, except the stewardess, mis-
taking the Stateroom, burst into the
apartments of one of the members of
the team just as he was on the eve of
preparing himself for presentation. 1t

man was, especially since he took the

others might be unjustly implicated be
it said that the young man wore a

gentleman of the crimson crest and
handed to your correspondent with the
usual request:
Same old light ships

Same old ocean
Always blue:
Same old feeling
About to spew:
Ships still rolling
Nothing new.
But, as matter of fact, there was
something new. This was in the form
of decidedly cool Notwithstanding
which the Savannahians, at least, had
not experienced in many moons. One
of the most pitiable spectacles aboard
was one slender lieutenant who, not
having along any thick suits sought the
sunny side of the ship, and walked
briskly up and down-a pair of blue
linen trousers peeping out from under
a borrowed overcoat-in a vain effort
to accumulate little warmth.
The brisk, cool breeze whetted the
appetites of the passengers, and it is
a safe set that the Ocean Steamship
Company never before on one trip,
made the tables groan as it did on this
one. Those on the team that had but
recently had experience in camp, were
touched with pity by the moaning,
and made haste to relieve the board of

Roosevelt is watching the develop

The reports made by Minister Leish-

quieting in tone. On the contrary, the
minister is inclined to take an opti-
mistic view of the situation so far as
this country lis concerned. The anti
Christian outbreak is serious, but it
is not regarded as likely that through
it American interests or American cit
liens will suffer. Admiral Cotton at
Beirut, in whom the administration
has great confident, is clothed with
ample authority to afford such protec-

Sea Girt, N. j., Sept. 9.-The sea trip
of the Georgia team to Sea Girt could
not have been pleasanter than it was.
The weather was most propitious and
a clear blue sky, a smooth head-wind
sea, and silvery moon contributed in no
small degree to the ableness of
the voyage. On the team itself not an
indisposition of any consequence was
recorded, though one of the team was
come upon unawares, in a secluded
portion of the aft deck, silently and
with solemn mien offering his tributes
to Neptune.
There was no end to jollification. The
same environments which conspired to
make the trip a pleasant one to the in
dividuals aboard, caused the prevalence
of the greatest levity and the ship was
but few hours cut when all on deck
seemed to belong to one big happy
family.
If well wishing could figure in the
result of the matches, there is no
doubt but what the Georgians would
return to their home port with all the
conditions the match allow, for new
er before. say the old stagers, has a
team been accorded such a rousing
fare-you-w AS the trim and hand
some steamship drew slowly out of
port, there was a screeching and
screaming of whistles and sirens, the
din increased by the hoarse blowing of
the larger craft which lay along the
water front.
From many windows handkerchiefs
were waved, and megaphones, a score
or more, were pressed into service.

the water from one.

gia!" from another.
Don't come back unless you get it,

of a Spartan mother, as the big ship
steamed majesticly by busy-body lit

We'll now, what do you think of
that?" asked Capt. Austin, of the
crowd at the rail, as the last echo died
away.
