News and Courier.
Greenville, July 18.-Col. Jas. l..
Orr, president of the Piedmont Maui.
featuring Company, and Il mau who
is eminently qualified to jndge, has
returned here from the Sapphire
country, where he made careful in.
speotion of the Toxaway dam. With
out attempting to injure the com.
pany'u property by adverse state
ments, he Expressed the opinion to-
night that the structure was not se-
cure, Col. Orr said that if the water
should rise above the surface of the
dam it. would be washed away in two
horis, and .he valleys Of Keowee and
Seneca rivers would meet with an
other Johnst own horror
1t is his opinion that expert en-
ginsers should be sent to Sapphire to
make thorough examination. COL
Orr's views carry great weight In
this pection, as everybody has un-
bounded faith in what he says.
There is no desire to cause any
alarm, but there is a feeling of ap-
prehension in the strip of country
which is at the mercy of the mighty
flood Of waters from the mountains.
Some time ago it was said that the
Southern Railway, the Blue Ridge
Railroad and the Anderson Light and
Water Company, which would suffer
great damage in the event of II
break, were determined to seek an
expert opinion, and it is believed
now that this will be done, since Col
Orr WAS not willing to accept hear,
say evidence so freely given by those
not capable of Judging conditions as
they actually exist.

POPE LEO XIII ENTERING ETERNITY.
Such Was His Condition at Midnight Of
Sunday, July 19-HiS Doctors had
Given up Hope and Gone Home to
Await the Last Summons.

Rome, July 19-Midnight.-The
Pope lies tonight in o state of coma
and there are grave doubts in the
minds of his doctors whether he
will ever completely emerge. His
immediate dissolution seems to be
only averted by the reliability of the
action of his heart His pulse,
though weak, continues steady.
Shortly before midnight DR.. Lapponi
said to the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press:
"The Pope at the present moment
is in state of torpor and stupor,
from which, however, he rouses oc.
casionally when he hears sharp sounds
as for instance, the insistent voice of
one of his familiars, calling loudly
to him. Lett alone he relapses i'm
madiately into condition of torpor.
At intervals he murmurs in his
sleep, continuing to have fore.
bodings that he is being abandoned
by his valet, Contra, and myself.
These are the symptoms of incipient
cerebral anemia and general exhaus-
ton. He can no longer turn in his
bed without assistance, and is being
kept alive by artificial stimulants.
During the last twenty three hours
he had two injections of camphorated
oil, three of caffeine and two hypo.
dermics Of salt water, besides drink
ing stimulants."
Mgre Bislotti, master of the Pope's
chamber, said earlier in the evening
that the pulse Of his Holiness had
not yet shown any signs of becom
ing intermittent 40, despite his ex
treme weakness and coma, he be-
lieved the Pope would survive the
night and possibly tomorrow.
Both The Italian Government and
the authorities of the Vatican have
made final preparations for the
Pope's death. The Government is
rigidly censoring all kilograms and
telephone communication between
Italy and the rest of the Continent
At this hour few people remain al
the Vatican. DR.. Mazzoni and DR.
Rossoni and the Cardinals have gone
to their home to await the last ur
gent summons.

VACCINATION In MILLS.
State Board of Health VIII ASK Cotton
Mill Presidents to Make 1t
Compulsory.
The State.

The State.
The State Board of Health has de-
cided to make an appeal to the mau-
ayers Of cotton mills to exclude from
their mills all persons who have not
been properly vaccinated. The board
declares that small percentage of
the mill operatives have been vac
cinated, and that the law cannot
be enforced without the co operation
Of the mill managers.
The board finds that when one
mill endeavors to yaocinate ita opera
tives, they will move to another mill
and unless there can be q general
understanding among the presidents
of the mills the board fears that
nothing can be done to combat
effeotually the disease which has
been more severe in it's nature anG
more widespread this year than since
the contagion was brought to the
State in 1893. '...

A NEGRO MOB LYNCHES A NEGRO.
Affair Took Place III Florida and the
Brute'S Victim Was One Of
His Own Race.

Lake Butler, Fla, July ia
negro tramp named Adams, who as-
saulted a negro woman near this
place day or 80 ago, was captured
last night by mob Of negroes and
lynohed in Santa Fe swamp. His
body was out into shreds by the mob
and severely disfigured The lynch
ing was carried out by negroes en-
tirely.

in the meantime, and had attempted
to reach his pistol OH the ground.
This incident gave rise to the re.
port in Aiken that there was q regu.
lar race war OF Chinquepin. This
is not the case. The negroes Of
the community regret the killing
Of Dir. Hall as much as the white
people, as he was young man with
hosts Of friends of both races. A
posse is out to-day in search of Ed
wards and if he is caught he will be
lynched.
The negro, Edwards is bad ne.
gro, and had almost the same trouble
about an account with Mr.. Gibson
with whom he worked some time be-
fore this. On this occasion he told
MIR. Gibson that be would be back in
few days aud settle the bill. In a
day or two Edwards came back to
MIR. Gibson with shotgun IN his
hands and told Gibson that he had
come to settle that bill he owed. Mr..
Gibson took his bluster and the ne
gro walked off.
This will show the character of
the negro whom the people of Chin
quepin never intend to allow to ap-
pear before a jury. The community
is usually a lay abiding, quiet neigh,
borhood, and if it were not for the
exasperating circumstances Of the
case the people would, no doubt, let
the law take it's course.
Mrs. Missouri Hall, the mother of
the murdered man, is prostrated, and
is in wretched condition, physically
and mentally. The white men in
the community show no spirit of
rowdyism or cruelty towards the
colofed people of that section. All
they want is the man that killed
William Hall and there is no doubt
what will be done if he is caught.
WAS THE BOY KILLRDY
A staff correspondent of the Co.
lumbia State, wiring his paper from
Batesburg, states that the negro
boy mentioned in the article above
as having been shot to pieces, was not
killed, but badly whipped, and that
he ran away after the whipping.
Reports from the scene of the TRACE
dy differ widely, and it is impossi BILE
to get at the exact details.

ton it ia conceded that persons highly
connected will be involved and trio''

against Jett and White,
In anticipation of the worst, Even,
while in Lexington, made his will and
arranged all his affairs. About $4,-

subscription after he lost everything
he had in the incendiary fire, and this
he has fixed for his family, his wife
and part of his children being here
awaiting his return.
Even has told Commonwealth At
torney Byrd and others the name OF
the man who offered him the bribe

means of his own, the bribery inves-
tlgation will extend to the one who
WAS to furnish the money for the S5,a

has been kept under martial law by
the provost marshal since Jett and
| White we're transferred to the jail at
