ONE OF HUNTINGToN's.

Henry T.. Huntington was born In the
town of Oneonta, in New York. Tie
began his business life as a clerk IN an
Oneunta hardware store and his mind
retains many stories illustrative OF the
life Of the New York country clerk Of
the period Of 1870,
one Of these stories IL somewhat
humorous. II concerns an One0n.
"a youth whose employer liked to
play the detective ON his men lie

A Serious Charge.

a dispatch to The State says war
rants have been issued in Anderson for
the arrest OF Mr.. j. w. PooSer, an in
Surance agent who spent 81 me time in
that city last winter. The dispatch
says Mr.. Pooser while in Anderson
represented the Pennsylvania Casualty
company and possibly one or two other
reliable companies. He collected
money for number OF policies that
have never been received by those who
paid for them. Mr.. l.. G. Houston of
Greenville, the agent Of the company,
has informed parties in Anderson that
he never received the money for the
policies and has stated that he, too,
has a warrant issued for PooSer in
Greenville. The warrants charge him
with obtaining money with fraudu-
lent intent ana breach Of trust. Mr.
POOScr went to Anderson from Colum-
bia and went back to Columbia from
here. y letter was received here a
day or two ago from one Of his friends
stating that POoSer is now in CalifOr-
mia. This statement will be fully in
vcStigatcd and every effort will BE-
made TO have the warrants that have
been issued served upOn him.

is the outgrowth Of the efforts OF Gen.
S. G. Arms ..ong of the Hampton in
stitute in Virginia. Gen. Armstrong
was one OF the great Seers and pro-
phetS who realized that the task OF the
nation was not fulfilled when the
Shackles Of physical slavery were
struck from the limbs OF the millions
or slaves of the south He realized
that nine millions Of human beings
steeped in ignorance, minus expert
ence could be but free. He foresaw
that the nation must have new birth
and new freedom and that this re-
generation must include the indus
trial, intellectual and moral and re-
ligious freedom OF the ex slaves.
In this connection l am glad that
we have another great American and
Christian statesman in the person of
Hon. Grover-Cleveland, who is mani
Testing by his presence and words here
this evening that he too Is conscious
of the fact that the lifting up of the
negro is not alone Tus kegee's problem,
not alone the south's duty, but Is the
problem OF the nation, because the
whole people were responsible for the
introduction and perpetuation Of
American slavery. In behalf of our
struggling race | want to thank you,
MIR. Cleveland, for your deep interest,
and to say to you that because OF your
interest and faith in us we shall see to

A Burglar Killed.

In 4 battle following an unSucceSs-
full attempt to rob the First National
bank OF Wampum, Pa, early Satur-
day morning, one man was killed and
another seriously wounded. The dead
man was one of the burglars, and he
has not yet been identified. The
wounded man was Henry Willoughby,
baker, who surprised the burglars
while 1T work. His injuries are seri-
Gus, but not fatal. Willoughby was
passing the bank at an early hour on
his way 10 work when he was sudden
ly confronted by man, who ar the
point OF Il revolver ordered him to
throw up his hands and keep quiet.
He did so, but in his right hand was
a revolver, and moment later both
men fired at each other At the re-
port OF the revolvers two other men
rushed from the bank and took hand
in the shooting.
The three-cornered revolver fight
aroused the people in the vicinity of
scene OF the battle, but before their
arrival the burglars fled. While the
men had broken into the banking
rooms Jney nad not completed the
drilling OF the safe and their attempt
at robbery was unsuccessful. Satur-
day morning the body OF one or the
burglars was discovered in vacant lot
on the upper end OF town. As the
bullet wound was near his heart it is
presumed that his companions had to
drag or drive their dying comrade
from the bank to where he was found.
While he was dressed in only an ordi-
nary suit Of clothes he was not shah
billy dressed, and on his body was
found gold watch and S44 in cash.
Willoughby was shot in both legs, and
1T is supposed he fired the shot that
killed the burglar. Great excitement
prevailed in the town and posse was
organized TO pursue and capture the
burglars.

The Murder of Gov Goebel.

The facts connected with the aSsas-
sination OF Gov. Goebel, Of Kentucky
about two years ago, are slowly COM
ing out. Frank Cecil, who is under
indictment for completely in the crime.
is witness at the trial OF Jim How
ard, who is charged with The muir
der. Cecil only recently surrendered
himself to the commonwealth, after
being fugitive for year in Califor-
mia and Honolulu. He is now under
bond. Cecil U a story substantially
the same as the testimony OF Culton,
Golden and Broughton, former wit
neSseS, who detailed, and alleged plot
TO bring about the death of Goebel.
Cecil says Caleb Powers adopted the
suggestion Of Henry Broughton that
he lCeciD might be contracted with to
commit the crime and asked him to
do 1t. Continuing, Cecil said. "On
January 80 was in TaylOr's office and
Taylor said: 'Goebel has to b. killed
or I'll be robbed. / have So, 500 Of
the campaign fund and I'll give that
and free pardon to the man who
will kill him. Il told Taylor l was
not in that business" said Cecil
Cecil said he went into the agricultur-
al office after the shooting and was
there until the soldiers came He
saw Harlan Whitaker arrested and
proposed TO help take Whitaker away
from the man who had him. The
Taylor referred TO by Cecil was the
Republican governor OF Kentucky
when Goebel, who had been elected
Governor IN Succeed him was murdar
ed. He ran away from Kentucky to
keep from being tried, and is now a
resident OF indianapolis, the Cover
nor OF Indiana refusing to honor a
requsition for his return TO Kentucky,
where he is under indictment as one
or the murdererS Of Gov. Goebel.
Cecils testimony puts Taylor in u bad
lights before the country.

TELLS OF THE CRIME.
Henry Youtsey at Last Makes full
Confession.
JAMES howard KILLED GOEBRL
And, Said Youtsey, "Gov. Taylor Di-
rected Everything We Did," Re-
Rarded as Leader by the
ASaQSSina.


James Howard is now on trial for
the second time at Frankfort, Ky,
for the murder of Governor Goebel
about eighteen months ago. Henry
T.. foutsey Thursday for the first
time told on the witness stand his
story Of the killing. He named James
Howard, the defendant, as the man
who fired the shot. Yuutsey said he
saw Howard for the first time few
minutes before the shooting. Howard
bad letter sent him several days be-
fore by the witness at Gov. Taylor's
dictation. Youtsey says he took
Howard into the office of Caleb Powers,
then secretary OF state, which had
been especially arranged for the shoot
ing. He showed Howard the Marlin
rifle, the bullets and the window from
which the shooting was to be done.
lie says Howard asked what he was to
get for doing the shooting.
What do you want for it?" Yout-
sey says he asked, and that Howard
said he wanted a pardon for killing
George Baker
Il told him he could have that and
more too," said Youtsey. About
that time" said the witness, "Goeb.l
ime in the gate and 1 pointed him
out to Howard and then ran from the
room. AS L disappeared down the
steps to the basement L heard the
crack Of Howard's rifle"
GoutSey said that after the shoot
ing he passed through the State house
basement and few minutes later
came back into the executive build
ing, from the east side entrance.
Il stayed in the office of Assistant
Secretary of State Matthews" )" said he,
for few minutes and saw Matthews
break open Caleb Powers office and
find the guns that had been left in
there"
Goutsey said that at the time of the
shooting he was private secretary to
Auditor Sweeney but that while his
political status was not definitely
fixed 1t was understood he was to have
a good place under Taylor. Gov.
Taylor" said Youtsey, directed
everything we did. We regarded him
as our leader and he was morally re-
Sponsible for all we did. We knew we
had the governor and the pardoning
power behind us and we were not
afraid OF punishment for killing
Goebel."
4outsey, on croSS-eXamination, said
that after he was arrested and later
sent to the penitentiary, he still had
hope OF gaining his liberty. He
thought Yerkes would be elected gov
ernor and would pardon him. Yerkes
was defeated, however, and about a
year ago he decided to talk and did
tell his story TO Prison Physician To-
bin.
Youtesey said further that he had
an additional incentive to tell the
story, as Taylor, Powers and others
had used him as catspaw and scape-
goat and then deserted him when he
got into trouble.

PROGRESS IN FARM WORK.
Report ofthc Planting Operations of
the Past Week.


Mr. j. w. Bauer, section director OF
the weather bureau, last week issued
his weekly report of farm operations,
complied from letters from correspond
ents throughout the State. He says,
IN part:
1T appears tn It the frost OF the
9Th reached to within a few miles of
the coast, and that thin ice formed
over the northern counties, but that
the damage was Slight and was con-
fined TO white potatoes and other ten
der garden truck Fruit escaped in
jury.
There were quite general rains on
the Sth, heavy in the western and
northern counties, that delay farm
work materially by making the ground
too wet to plough in the already
named divisions, where ploughipg was
practicable on one or two days only at
the close of the week
The rainfall was light over the
eastern half OF the State, and farm
work was :carcely interrupted by it.
The week closed with warm, cloudy,
threatening and showcry conditions
prevailing that are favorable for
growth Of vegetation, but are unfavor-
able for the rapid progress of farm
work.
Planting operations made favora-
BILE progress in the eastern and south
eastern counties, where they are as
.ar advanced as usual at this season.
In the western counties planting is
from 10 to l5 days later than usual,
with but little corn and no cotton
planted.
Corn that was planted early is
coming up to fair stands, and some is
being cultivated. Birds are destroying
stands in few counties.
Cotton planting has not advanced
beyond the central counties, and in
places in the eastern is being purpose
ly delayed, awaiting more settled
weather.
Oats look well in a few localities
only. Generally they have been seri-
ously damaged ny grain aphis and
by rust. Some fields are ruined.
w uCdJ Has dn unusually rank
growth, but in places the plants are
turning red, in other localities rust
has appeared both conditions tending
to mar its prospects.
Rice planting has made fair pro-
greSs, except in the Georgetown dis
trict, where the lands are still toe
wet TO work.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and
early. Transplantng is actively un-
der way. Some farmers have almost
finished this work
strawberry shipments are being
made from all the eastern truck dis
trictS.
Melon plants are sickly in the
Charleston district, owing TO defective
seed. Other truck crops are growing
slowly. Bugs have appeared on white
potatoes. Pastures afford fine graz.
ing
Fruit prospects appear to be un-
impaired, with, however, few locali-
ties that report peaches sparsely set.
