Senator Tillman Out West.

United Strtes Senator Tillman de-,
livered an address on 1.-The Negro
Question From a Southern Stand
point" before an audience Of 1900.
university students, citizens and law
makers at Madison, Wis, Thursday
night. He was greeted with the STIR.
ring university yell. A rather sensa-
tional incident occurred while Senator
Iillman was discussing the Indianola
poStof6ce case. After stating the
southern view Of the affair, he asked
whether the audience approved OF
President Rooseyelt's action and there
was applause. Being uncertain whetn-
er the applause was intended as an in
dorsement of the presidents action,
the senator asked how it was meant.
He was told that it was meant as an
endorsement o. the president. This
aroused the senator. He went IN
to the details Of the lndianola affair
and when be concluded asked bis hear
ers whether it would not have been
better for TIE president to have kept
the office opened and punished the few
hot-heads that caused the trouble
than to have punished the entire COM
munity by closing the Office, request
ing those to raise their hands who
supported the presidents action. Only
a few raised their hands. In the
main his address was much like his
other recent utterances on the same
subject. He condemned the negro to
eternal inferiority to the white man.

Two Doctors Differed.

4 special from Tarboro, \. c., says:
Or. II. T. Bass, who was shot here
Sunday by DR.. J. NJ Baker, died at
his residence that night between and
- o'clock. He was on the operating 6
table, and as he began tc show signs
of sinking the operation was not con-
pleted. Early in the night he became
unconscious and thereafter sank rapid
ly. The funeral took place from
Calvary church this afternoon. Rev.
Dr.. Gamble conducting the services.
The church could not seated the I'M
mense crowd that attended. The re-
mains were inferred in Calvary church
yard. Dr. Baker. who is out on bond,
left here Wednesday for Richmond on
professional business. The coronerS
jury went to the house Of the deceased
and viewed the remains this morning,
then adjourned until the 23rd, when
they will hear testimony. The prel-
iminary hearing will be on Monday.

A Terrible Tragedy.

y horrible tragedy occurred at Riley
station, Ky, on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad Thursday when
Deputy Sheriff J. B. Williams with a
posse Of three men, went to arrest an
unknown crazy man The maniac
was armed with three pistols and was
frightening people in that vicinity.
He imagined a mob was after him to
hang him. When Deputy Sheriff
Williams and his posse approached
the enraged man and attempted to
overpower him he drew his pistol and
commenced to fire. The deputy sheriff
was shot through the body, sustaining
a serious wound: Gabriel Floyd, in
the back, Samuel Payne, through the
arm and Samuel DeverS received a
scalp wound. After Williams had
fallen he raised and fired bullet
through his antagonists head killing
him instantly Nothing was found
on the dead mans person to identify
him. but hc had S42 in money and q
gold watch. Early in the day he had
said that his mother lived in Nelson
county. The recovery Of Williams
and Floyd is doubtful.

Nothing But Rot.

The Columbia Record says GOOD
deal Of nonSensical rot is being talkee
and published as to what was Sald
between Chicco and the governor 10
their interview, and some OF the
bright sayings ascribed to the blind
tiger dealer, he is mentally incapable
OF conceiying, much less saying. The
interview, in SO far as Chicco was con-
cerned, was in one sense an outrage
Gus insult to the majesty OF the law,
and had he not come under a flag OF
truce, as it were the governor would
have been justified in at once placing
him in jail. This making Chlcco the
hero Of conversational controversy, SO
to speak, is disgusting, when the cir
cumStances are considered.

Many Want Jobs.

The News and Courier says the
most important fact which has come
out in connection with the Crum
situation is that more than one hum
dredred white men have applied for
positions in the Custom House under
the negro collector. II this list could
be secured for publication it would
open the eyes of the city, or, at least,
that was the statement made by a
prominent Republican. The name
OF a well-know citizen has been men
toned in connection with the deputy
collectorship and the chances favor
his appointment. Crum has made no
promises. so far as the politicians can
ascertain, although it has leaked out
in the quiet otlice-Seeking circles that
the list of candidates is reSplendent
with the names Of men, some OF whom
would naturally be regarded as oppoS-
ed to the nomination OF a negro tO
any important Federal office.

Sort Of Men Girls Like.

AS a man looks to a woman to be
womanly, a woman expects a man to
be manly; therefore, you need hardly
wonder that she prefers to be wooed
by man whose actions tell OF deter
mination and resolve to one whose at
titude is one Of meekness and chronic
shyneSs, who stammers and bushes
whenever he yentueeS to address his
lady-love in public. While the timid
lover is worshipping from afar, hop
ing yet fearing that his worship is un-
derstood by his divinity, the more
manly lover steps in, and by almost
sheer materfulness and determination,
combined with tender courtesy and a
wish to please, gains the prize, leaving
the timid one to moan his loss in sill
ence with heart filed with the bit
ter thought that had he only been a
little more confident in his wooing the
fair one might have been his. In love
affairs women like masters, not slaves;
they like to feel that they are being
wooed, not that they are doing the
wooing. Therefore, those young men
who wish to prove successful lovers
must cast aside all bashfulness and
timidity and must not only believe in
the old but true saying, Only the
brave deserve the fair" but must act
up to it.

SOLD DEATH FOR 500.
Herb Doctor Arrested for Admins
terins Poison to Thirty-Four Men.

Herb Doctor Arrested for Admins
tering Poison to Thirty -Four Men.
Seventy letters, written mostly by
women. have been found in the home
of George Hoosey, the negro herb
doctor; of Philadelphia, who is ac-
cused Of being an accessory to the al
legged murder of William G. Dame.
These letters, which are said to be
of an discriminating nature, vary little
in their terms, and, it is asserted,
show that Hoosey charged 500 for
every case. Some Of the letters point
to payment Of the fee installments.
The police officials have directed
the opening of 81 graves, having Sc
cured evidence that leads them to
believe that George Hoosey, the negro
herb DOCTOR" is responsible for at
least that many deaths. Hoosey is in
jail as accessory to the murder Of
William G.. Dame, whose widow is
charged with having administered to
her husband slow poison furnished by
the negro.
I'VE do not know how many pois-
oning cases can be traced to Hoosey,"
said police official today, but thus
far we have secured evidence that has
warranted US in directing the opening
Of 81 graves"
This case is assuming proportions
far beyond the comprehension Of those
connected with it at the time Hoosey
was arrested. The real investigation
is just beginning and before it pro-
ceeds much further startling develop
ments will crop out.

Accounts Short.

a shortage OF over $4,000 has been
found in the accounts OF the late J. S.
Campbell, county treasurer for Rich
land. 1t is year since the death OF
Capt. Campbell, and the estate has
made no settlement with the county.
Mr.. r. NJ. Spigener, the treasurer
elected, has declined to take the Office
from Mr.. E. J. Brenner, who succeed
ed Capt. Campbell, until the cloud
can be cleared. The late treasurer
was in feeble health and had a great
deal of sorrow the last two years OF
his life. His mental condition is
advanced charitably as the cause OF
the deficiency. No official statement
can be obtained.

GOES UP FOR LIFE.
W. G King Convicted of Numbering
James and Samuel Rodoers

William c. King, the white man
who murdered James and Samuel
Rodgers in Florence County on jan
uary 81, was found guilty with re-
commendation to mercy Friday by
the jury in the court Of general ses-
sions at Florence. His attorney,
Walter Wells, Esq, made a motion
for new trial, but when court re-
convened Friday afternoon he an
nounced his abandonment Of the mo-
tion, but gave notice Of an appeal to
the supreme court. Judge Gage then
sentenced King to the penitentiary at
hard labor for his natural life.
A dispatch from Florence to The
State says verdict has given unusual
satisfaction, and groups Of men can
be seen on the streets discussing the
case. Then general concensus Of
opinion is that it marks the begin
ming Of a new era in South Carolina,
especially this part Of the State. 1t
Is asserted that this is the first con-
yiction OF white man for the killing
of another in this judicial circuit
since Lockhart was convicted Of man.
slughterin Williamsburg county years
ago under the late Judge I. D.
Witherspooa.
All the evidence in the King case
goes to prove that it was an unpro-
Voked, uncalled for murder Of two
obscure men, and all about dog
which King admitted that he had
never seen. 1t Is learned that the
jury on the first ballot stood eight for
for murder with Recommendation to
mercy, three for murder outright aad
one for manslaughter. On the sec
ond ballot eleven were for conviction
with recommendation to mercy and
one for manslaughter. The next
ballot was in conformity with the
verdict rendered.
When King was asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him, he shook his
head and said, II have nothing to
say"
Judge Gage did not undertake to
give him lecture, neither did he re-
fer to the heincus crime Of which be
stood convicted, but Simply passed
the formal legal sentence Of life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary.
William King is a man who per-
haps has seen SO summers; about six
feet tall, weighing about l60 pounds.
He has brutal face, large protrud-
ing jaw bone, cold steel grey eyes
which moverestlessly from side to side
without turning his head. His head
is very small and exceedingly narrow
across the base Of the skull. 1t is
stated that the two Rogers men are
not the only victims Of his nimble
pistol.
Upon what grounds his attorney
will base his appeal to the supreme
court is not known. for it is an ad-
mitted fact that the judge charged
the jury on every point on which he
was requested and neither directly or
indirectly referred to single fact
connected with the case, nor did he
touch UPON the evidence in the case.

AN ELEPHANT DIES AT SEA.
Whole Crew OF Steamer Was Kept
Busy BY Jingo.

The elephant lingo, said to have
been larger than Jumbo, died at sea-
on the steamer Georgia, which arrived
at New York Wednesday from Liver
pool. The animals death occurred
March 18th and the huge body was
buried at sea. An animal show brought
lingo in London. The elephant had
not travelled since infancy. and from
the time of sailing from Liverpool it
fretted and pined away, Jingo was %
years old, u feet high, weighed six
ton and was valued at $4,000.
For 60 hours preceding its death
the mammoth beast trumpeted with
out cessation and twice knocked down
its keeper, Thomas Lawrence, who at
tempted to pacify it. The cries OF the
elephant aroused the leopards and I'll
gers which were on the Shipand they,
too, joined in the cry which for three
days kept the crew Of the Georgic on
its guard.
AS each day passed lingo seemed to
grow weaker he squirmed in his mar
row cage in an effort to get out. He
was securely chained to the cage IN
such position in the aft hatchway
that escape was impossible. On the
fifth day out the animals condition
became such that Lawrence gave him
whiskey and kept him under the in
fiuence Of liquor for almost three days.
It was then that lingo became even
more savage than ever and began the
trumpeting.
The entire crew went to Lawrence's
assistances on the llth day and join
ed with him in an effort to pacify
lingo. They all failed, however, aud
twice the beast got its trunk through
the bars Of the cage and struck the
keeper with such force that he was
thrown to the deck. The other animals
Joined. in the great noise until about .
o'clock on the morning OF the 18th,
when suddenly Jingo's cries ceased.
Lawrence ran to the cage to find the
animal dead. His carcass was eXamin-
ed and after it was decided it could
not be stuffed it was thrown over
board.
