ANOTHER ],OINT OF VIEW.
A Chicago Preacher Says Some Sensi-
BILE Things About Lynchlngs.

BILE Things About Lynchlngs.
II am no advocate Of lynching OF
of mob law, but l would rather see a
community wrought to the highest
pitch over crimes that would seem i'm
possible this side OF hell than to re-
main apatheti,. was she declara-
tion Of the Rey. DR.. W. A. Bartlett
at the First Congregational church
Of Chicogo on Sunday in pre-
lude on ''Lynohing from Another
Point of View
DR.. Bartlett said among other
things: II have seen 50 many SER
mons, editorials and resolutions de-
nouncing lynching and mob law that
one gets the impression that the citi-
zens who hang or turn the destroyer
of life and all that is held sacred by
womanhood are the race offenders
rather than the monster whom they
destroy.
''We seem to be so absorbed with
the majesty of this vague term law
that the notion appears to prevail
that the real criminals are those who
do not wait for legal processes. and
the violator of womanhood- is the
abused party.
I'VE shudder at the torture OF the
criminal who is burned, but apparent
ly forget to shudder for the innocent
girl whose mental and spiritual agony
is tenfold greater than that of the
fire. This is not a race problem eX-
cept SO far as one race are the offend
ers. The white man who commits the
same crime is just as guilty.
The indignant uprising OF a COM
munity and some Of the best men IN
it to avenge wrong O. such awful
magnitude may be technically law
less. but the spirit which causes the
uprising is the reflection of 4 higher
civilization. There are crimes so
dreadful that the pure and the chiv-
alrous and the strong find it well nigh
impossible to endure the thought that
such degenerate should poliute the
earth by his presence. 1t is easy to
theorize about the anarchy Of mob
law, but the same hand which penned
the calm editorial might be the first
to grasp the torch if it was a mother,
wife or daughter who was the victim.
u say that when you look at a
lynching from another view point It is
simply the bursting forth OF an lnolg.
nation and loathing That will not be
checked. In the Old Testament days
they made short work of such an Of
fender.
"Lynching is certainly bad method
and forms the habit of disorder and
makes men bloodthirsty. But if it is
to be avoided there certainly is called
for more sure and speedy trial OF
these wretches who often brazenly
deny crime amid red tape 9f legal
processes, but confess abjectly when
fronted with determined men. 1t is
useless to bring to trial men who rise
up to protect their iresides. The
community will not bear it. If men
object to be burned let them cease
from crimes which make a nation

"Doins" Europe In Your Mind.


According to Cairo contemporary,
persons who wish to let their friends
know that they are doing Europe on
a princely scale the while they are ly-
Ing in retirement for time need only
apply to an agency in Paris, which will
undertake to send your letters to prac-
tically any place in Europe you may Sc
lect and there to have them posted for
you on any date you may choose. The
demand for such an institution arose
out Of the absolute horror the Partisan
Of "high Hfe' has Of being suspected Of
remaining in Paris or its environs In
the bathing season. One feature Of the
joke is that you can not only get your
letters posted from some distant spot,
but you can get answers received for
you and reposted to your temporary hid
ing place. There are great possibilities
for American travellers in this. Why
not stay in America and ''do" Europe:

The Anger Fish.

The anger-fsh, half fish, half crab,
is the terror Of all vessels but IRON
clads that use the south seas. This
creature. which is not bigger than an
almond, has a proboscis like an en-
large gnat sting that can bore through
even sheet iron. Anger fish frequent
many of the lagoons Of the coral
islands and burrow holes for them
selves in the coral, but they have q
perverse habit Of doing the same thing
to ships lying at anchor, and the CAM
age generally shows itself when next
the vessel is. at sea In bad weather
with disastrous results.

Male BlusherS.

One Of the most i'll founded Of all
popular delusions is that blushing is
the special chara cteristic Of the female
sex. AS matter Of fact, except il the
case Of very young girls, men blush far
more readily than women. The well
bred woman never bushes at all, while

ever may have been the case hun

shows her emotion not by blushing, but
by turning pale.-London Tatler.

The honest, hard-working, law
abiding negroes, and there are plenty
Of them. make a grave mistake when
they ally themselves with cowatdly
,uurderers like the man who brutally
assassinated NJ. Phillips, and who
was lvnched for his dastardly crirne.
Evans was not lynched because he
was a negro, but because he had as
sassina ted citizen in the presence OF
his family, and no negro can afford to
defend that crime.

AT mass meeting of negroes in
Chicago to denounce the Belleville
lynching it was decided that the ne
gro in Illinois should arm himself.
Strange that at these negro indigna-
tion meetings it never occurs to the
orators and agitators to propose resolu-
tions warning members of their race
against assaulting women and murder
ing white people in cold blood. BY
all means let the Illinois negro arm
himself: the quicker the violent ele-
ment makes the issue with law aud
order the quicker we'll be rid Of the
mob and violence.

portant commission, having for its
main object the assessment for taxa

board last year was Mr.. W. W. Brad
lev. of A5beville The call for the
meeting was issued by the comptroller
general, Hon. a. W. Jones, who would
have announced an earlier date but
for tie fact that the returns from a
great many of the mills had to be sent
back to the county auditors for correc-
tiOn.

T;te Nights Cool and F'avorah tie to Cot
ton Development.

Section Director Bauer has issued
the following crop bulletin: The
week ending a. m. Monday, Jnne 80,
1903. had a mean temperature OF I6
degrees which is about degrees below
normal. The nights continue too cool
for the favorable development Of cot.
tor. There was more than the usual
amount OF cloudinesS, and there is an
indicated need OF more sunshine for
corn, cotton and melons. There were
local high winds accompanying thun-
derstorms that caused Slight damage
over limited areas.
The western half Of the State had
beneficial rains on the 22nd and 26th,
the latter heavy enough to stop cultl-
vation for the remainder Of the week,
but the rain was needed to soften crult-
ed lands that had become too hard to
plow. The central and northeastern
countries had rain nearly every day,
with some excessive rains that washed
lands and rendered all ont hillsides too
wet to cultivate. In Barnwell, Bam-
berg, Orangeburg, Berkeley, Williams
burg, Sumter, Clarendon, Florence,
Darlington. Marion and Marlboro, and
parts Of adjoining counties, crops are
suffering from lack of work and excess
of moisture. The Immediate coast
counties had moderated and benef-
cial rains. The average rainfall for the
State was nearly two inches. Hail
storms occurred in many counties,
serious damage by hail was reported
from Berkeley, Marlboro and Saluda
counties only.
The general conditions Of all crop is
better than any time this season, but
the improvement is comparatively
Slight in many places, and all cultiva,
ted field crops need dry weather tc
permit cultivation, and to rid them oi
grass. They also need more sunshine tt
give them a healthier color, anc
greater warmth to stimulate to more
rapid growth.
The corn crop is fairly promising
except in a few central counties where
lack of cultivation and an excess o!
moisture has given it a sickle colol
and a stunted growth. Early corn is
being laid by in the eastern and cen
tral counties, with many fields il
grassy condition 1t is tasseling
Bottom land corn has not recovered
from the effect of the recent floods anc
is poor. There is general improve
ment in cotton over last week both lr
color and growth, but the plants con
tinue small and in places Still lack
healthy color, while stands are broker
and irregular. Lice are less prevalent
than last week. First blooms are re-
ported. since the 18th. from the east
ern and central parts Of the State, bu1
blooming is not general. Last yeal
cotton was in full bloom by the lst o.
July. The work of cleaning fields ha!
made rapid progress but many fields
are still grassy, and some have moi
been chopped to stands. Sea island cot

Mr.. Hill was quiet and gentleman
" person and was never known to
have been addicted to any bad habits.
At the time of the shooting he was
holding a good position in the city, so
that dire want could not have in
stigated the frenzy that prompted the
shooting. 1t is the opinion of all that
it was the act of an insane man. In
mediately after the shooting and while
Hill was still lying in the corridor, a
bottle Of laudanum was taken from
his pocket, and reaching for it, ne
said: Let me take that and die easy"
This had led many to believe that ne
contemplated suicide following his

as the most horrible thing that ever
occurred in the community, and al
though he had nothing to do with the
