May Connect With S. A. L.

Raleigh, N. c., February 24.-The
president of the Stone Mountain
Railway is here to secure an amend
ment to its charter, allowing it to
build southwark from Roaring river
to the South Carolina line. This
looks very much like a conn sction
with the Seaboard Air Line. Presi-
dent Hinshaw says he does not
know, because it is not as yet decided
what point on the South Carolina
line the road will strike. 1t is going
northwestward to the coal fields, and
through very easy gap in the Blue
Ridge.

An Interview with Senator Nc [ aurin.

New York, February 26.-The
Commercial Advertiser printed Tues
day afternoon lengthy interview
with Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina, in which he gives his views
of the negro question and labor in
the South, Democratic and Republi-
can politics and the industrial de-
velopment of the South.
He says he is ready to concede the
political rights of the negro, but
social equality is at the root of the
trouble, and the problem is one the
South must settle. Race troubles
are superseded in the South by
questions arising out of the great
commercial expansion. He declares
the South is divided on Organism.
1t is rumored that Senator McLau-
rim will become a member of New
York law firm upon his retirement.

"Thafs Not My Negro.p

! s. = . . = I III ]
When Senator MoLaurin, of Mis-
sissippi, was elected for the first
time he was visited by negro in
his district who wanted a job in the
government printing office at Wash
ington. The new Senator knew him
to be a good man, so he wrote to the
public printer, Mr.. Benedict, asking
that the man be appointed. He told
the negro to meet him in Washing
ton.
When Mr.. McLaurin arrived he
went to Mr.. Benedict's office to see
about another matter. The public
printer was talking to large and
imposing looking negro. He turned
to greet the new Senator and, after
exchanging a few words with him,
said:
BY the way, you wrote TO me
recommending negro for appoint
ment, did you not ?"
Instantly it flashed into Mr.. Nc.
Laurin's mind that the colored man
sitting beside Mr.. Benedict lad in
some way obtained possession of his
mans introduction card and palmed
himself off as the candidate. Point
ing an accusing finger at the man
he said:
eyes; but that's not my nigger!"
A panic-stricken look shot into
MIR. Benedict's face and he colored
violently. Leading Mr.. McLaurin
aside by the buttonhole he whispered
in the Senator's ear:
"Sh-h Sh-h That's Congress-
man Murray, of South Carolina !'-

Charleston, w. Va, February 25.
"A pitched battle took place at
Wright's Coal Works, in Raleigh
county, yesterday evening between
one hundred United States deputy
marshals and deputy sheriffs under
Chief Deputy Cunningham, of
Charleston, and Sheriff Cook, of
Raleigh county, and two hundred and
fifty striking miners, who refused to
permit Federal officers to serve in
junction papers. The posse met
with mob, armed with Winchesters,
which defied arrest and service of
papers. The mob followed the de-
fance with hostilities. opening fire
on the deputies at once. The depu-
ties responded and the battle ragged
furiously for several minutes. Eight
striking miners were killed, twelve
wounded, two mortally; one colored
deputy marshal was killed and three
wounded.
After the posse had repulsed the
miners, they followed up this adv an.
tage and secured the arrest of over a
hundred. An ugly strike in progress
there is the cause of the trouble.

Greenyille, February 26. Capt. j
o. Westfield, one of Greenwich
most prominent citizens, was seri.
ously stabbed this morning by Bud
Lewis, the negro porter at the Man.
sion House.
Captain Westfeld, it seems, had
gone to MoBee avenue to collect
rent from the negro. Lewis handed
Captain Westfield five dollar biu
and asked for the change.
The only witness, a negro boy,
says that Capt. Westfeld told him
that he would give him the change
up at his Office, and, that thereupon
the negro drew a knife and stabbed
Captain Westfield three times. One
wound is in the right shoulder, one
In the abdomen and one near the
spine. Captain West6eld was found
in vacant lot near lewis home by
a carrier of the Greenville Herald.
Physiciuns were at once sum
moned and the injured man given
every possible attention. DR.. w.
Q. Black, who dressed the wounds of
the injured man, says that while the
wounds are very serious they will
not prove fatal.
The negro made good his escape
and had not been captured upyto a
o'clock this afternoon. The affair
has created a big sensation, Captain
Westfield being one of the most
prominent men in the business and
social world here.

STRICKEN BY EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCANO
The People Of Tuxpan, TonIta and Other
Towns Flee For Safely.

Guadalajara, Mexico, February 25.
-Colima volcano, which broke forth
in violent eruption last evening, ia
still active. The lava which is flow.
ing down the mountain side has al
ready devastated many farms in the
cultivated valleys at its base, and
the inhabitants for SO miles around
are terrorized.
All last night explosions occurred
at intervals within the volcano and
frequent earth tremblings added to
the terror of the people. The fires
in the crater were reflected on the
dark pail of smoke which overhangs
the mountain and the brilliant spec
tacle could be seen for 100 miles.
Poisonous gas, similar to that
which destroyed ST Pierre, was emit
ted from the volcano last evening,
but was swept off seaward at a great
height from the earth. The earth-
quake shocks have done considerable
damage to buildings in the cities of
Colima, Tuxpan, Tonita, Autlan and
other towns of that section. Many
people are leaving the port of Man
zanillo through fear of tidal wave.
The people, terrified by the belch-
ing flames and pouring lava, are
seeking refuge in distant towns and
villages.
The city of Tuxpan, in the State
of Jalosco, continues under a heavy
cloud of smoke. The volcano is
alight with flames. The new erup-
tion yesterday afternoon has inoreasd
the general fear.
There is not much alarm in the
city of Colima, but fears are felt for
the farmers in the neighborhood of
the volcano.

G.. w. & j. Z. Bauknight Have ss'i Sale. Right Of
Teacher Shoots Pupil.

Spartanburg, February 25.-A
very unfortunate affair occurred at
Inman late yesterday afternoon, in
which Edward Foster, the eighteen
year-old son of Gabe Foster, was
shot and probably fatally injured by
his school teacher, w. B. Pitts. Both
parties to the trouble are agreed
upon these facts:
Several days ago Pitts had occa-
sion to administer fioggings to three
pupils of his school. This incensed
the young men against the teacher,
and they agreed to suffer no chas-
tisement in the fut ure. Pitts heard
of such an agreement and on the
morning of the day which the shoot
ing occurred he took his pistol to
school with him, as the boys are
stroug, sturdy fellows, while Pitts is
of slight build and delicate. In the
afternoon he called Foster after
school hours, telling him that it was
necessary to administer a whipping
and proceeded to lay on the switch.
The boy grabbed the teacher. The
latter, in order to frighten him, so
he says, pulled the pistol. Foster
caught the weapon, causing it to fire.
The bullet entered Fosters abdomen,
ranged downward and is considered
very serious.
Iater-Pitts has been lodged in
Jail. Young Foster died Fri ay

He Answered Advertisements.

A man who answered advertise

had some interesting experiences,
says an exchange. He learned that
by sending 81 to a Yankee he could
get a cure for drunkenness. Sure
enough he did. 1t was to "take the
pledge and keep it," Later on he
sent so 2-cent stamps to find out
how to raise turnips successfully.
He found out-"Just take hold of
the tops and pull" Being young,
he wished to marry, and sent Sd
1-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for
information as to how to make an
impression. When the answer came
it read, "Sit down on pan of
dough" 1t was little rough, but
he was patient man, and thought
ne would yet succeed. Next adver-
'tisement he answered read, elbow to
double your money in six months"
He was told to convert his money
into bills, fold them and he would
see his money doubled. Next he
sent for twelve useful household
articles, and he got a package of
needles. He was slow to learn, SO
he sent dollar to find out how to
get rich-"Work like the devil and
never spend cent" And that
stopped him, but his brother wrote
too find out how to write a letter
without pen or ink. He was told to
use lead pencil. He paid 81 to
learn how to live without work, and
was told on postal card to "fish for
suckers as we do"
