To RECLAIM West yirein,a.

The Columbia State says Gov. Hey
ward has received an interesting letter
from George C. GLADDEN., a member
OF the legislature Of the State of West
Virginia. In writing for copy of the
election laws Of South Carolina, he
says: we expect to reclaim West Vir-
ginia's good old Democracy at the
general election Of 1904 and If we sue
ceed we want to establish election and
registration laws in order to eliminate
the negro vote. This would also kill
the ignorant white vote, largely Re
publicrn, flowing into the State be-
cause Of its industrial dcvlopment.
The coming OF the element into our
State Is what carried it Republican.
But since Republican rule is greatly
on the wane we have good prospects
to carry 1t for Democracy. IL such
should be the case we expect to enact
such laws as would hold it in line for
all time"

"A Florida Tragedy.

W. b. Hunter and Mrs Cephas
Eiland were killed and Cephas Eiland
badly wounded in shooting ARRAY
at Sprink Lake Fla. Wednesday night.
Eiland and Hunter are brothers-in-
law, but were not on good terms.
Hunter was in Rrooksville all day
Tuesday attending Court. He left
early in the evening and instead OF
going directly home went to Glands.
What occurred there is told by Eiland,
the only survivor Of the tragedy. He
says Hunter being under the influence
of whiskey, began using very profane
and abusive language in the presence
Of Mrs Eiland. Eiland ordered him to
leave. He pulled his pistol and began
firing at Eiland, who returned the fire.
Mrs. Eiland sprang between the two
while they were shooting and was in
stantly killed in the presence Of her
three little children. After emptyrng

and died. Eiland is badly wounded

Fourteen Gents Cotton.

The Anderson correspondent Of
The State says the Cox Cotton mill Of
that city sold 100 bales Of cotton last
week at IA cent per pound. The cot
ton was Of the upland long staple
variety and came from the Mississippi
bottom lands. 1t Is known us the
Mississippi Bender" This cotton
usually sells for cent to IA cents
higher than the ordinary short staple.
The Cox mill had more cotton on
hand than was needed to run until
the new crop comes in, and as fancy
price was offered it was decided to sell
part Of 1t. The cotton was bought
for 10 cents and some Of it for less, so
handsome price was realized. The
mill still has on hand enough cotton
to run on full time until the new crop
comes in.

a Doomed Negro Murderer Cheats
the Ga'lows
By TAKING 'lAI'cI POISON IN THE JAIL
Where He Was Closely Confined
Awaiting the Vengeance ofthe
Law for His Hoinous

John Brownfeld, the negro who mur-
dered Deputy Sheriff Scurry at George
town in September, 1900, and who was
to have been hung last Friday, com
mitted suicide In Lis cell on Tuesday,
June %, by taking poison. The Char
lesion Post correspondent says 1t is not
known how he obtained the stuff with
which he killed himself. There has
been some talk Of the possibility Of the
condemned man taking his own life
and cheating the gallows, but there
was little expectation OF his being able
to accomplish it. Brownfield made
remarkable fight to escape the gal
lows and carried his case to the Su-
prcmc Court OF the United States. He
had exhausted every resource to save
his neck. when finally he took his own
life In the very shadow Of the gallows.
Browniield killed Deputy Sheriff
Scurry on September 80, 1900, resist
Ing the deputy's undertaking to arrest
him In a barber shop. The killing
caused great excitement and posse
went to the woods and captured
RrOwnllcld and brought him to iail.
There was some talk Of lynching and
the negroes began to gather from the
surrounding country to prevent any
such proceeding, and afterwards with
the purpose rescuing the prisoner from
the jail. The situation became very
pad and there was imminent danger OF
race war, when Mayor Morgan ap-
pealed to Gov. McSweeney to order out
the militia. The Georgetown COM
panies and Major Schachte's command
from Charleston were quickly brought
to the scene and their presence estab-
liShcd order and the trouble quickly
subsidized
Brownfield was tried and convicted
In December, 1901, and was sentenced
to hang, but he appealed to the Su-
preme Court of the State, which sus-
tanned the Judgment Of the lower
court. His case was then carried to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which denied his conteutions
of denial Of constitutional rights, clos
ing the last appeal tribunal to the
murderer. On last Tuesday the ne
gro was brought into court and finally
sentenced to be hanged on Friday,

behalf and declared that he would
spend every dollar he had to bring his
brothers slayer to justice.

PULLED ARMS FROM SOCKETS,
Strong Man Badly Injured in Tryine

Strong Man Badly Injured I'm Tying
to Outpull Horses.
N eWSY orlossd dispat tchs sofR II uesdaY
says: SeGasfie1 filler, a professional i
strong man, will be crippled for many
weeks as a result Of the accident at
the Plattdeutscller Volksfeast at
ltidgewood park when two horses he
was trying to pull together almost
tore his arms from their sockets. 1t is
likely that lie will never regain his
former strength.
The ach which Miller attempted
was to strap himself to two powerful
horses and drag them together by
sheer muscular force. Two big bre.
very horses were taken to the park
for the test.
Miller strapped his hand into loops
that extended to Il stout harness
around the horses, one ON each side
Of him. a great crowd watched him
as he strained every muscle OF his
powerful body, but the horses did not
bulge.
The crowd chcered, and the horses,
frightened by the noise, started to
move in opposite directions. The
grinding Of the giants bones could be
plainly heard, his face was drawn with
pain until, when he could bear it no
longer, he called for help Men rushed
upon the platform and stopped the
horses.
1t was none too soon; for the mans
arms had been pulled from the
sockets and the flesh broken, letting
thin streams OF blood course down his
arms. A physician was soon with
him, and after putting the dislocatcd
bones back in place he allowed his
patient to go home. Now he is un-
able to use either arm, aud the doc
tors say it will be a long time before
he will he we'll

Somebody claims to have discovered, by
scientific methods, that the city Is
slowly sinking to sea level. 1t Is
asserted that there has been drop Of
OF about foot in the last ninety
years, and that the depression is
steadily going on. But, in view
the weight OF Boston intellect, the
wonder is not that the city is being
mashed under, but that it has held
up SO long.

- The Carolina Spartan says: Peo3
pie have an idea that they can bring
suit for damages against q corporation
for real or fancied grievances. A man
by the name of Seawell brought suit
against the Seaboard Airline because
while awaiting at the depot at Shelby,
N. c., some rowdics pelted him with
eggs. lie got verdict for $4,000.
The persons attacking Seawcll be-
longed to one Of the railway gangs.
II that decision holds, all employees in
North Carolina may be held RESPONSE
Bile for any insult or injury inflicted
by an cmploye. Many of the verdicts
against corporations are legalized
robbery. If a set Of section hands
should insult or attack one passing by
them, tue road employing them would
be held liable for damages. Floods
and vcrdicts in damage suit are pref
ty hard on railroads these days. 1t
looks as il damage suits could 90 no
further than that Shelby case, but
the ingenuity Of the people and the
skill OF attorneys will no doubt con-
tinue to ferret out new causes for
damages against corporations" The
Spartan Is right. Corporations should
be held to strict accountability, but

ANOTHER SCANDAL.
The Department. Of Agriculture ls
Now Mixed Up.

A special dispatch from Washington
to The State says scandal in. the
agricultural department has just been
brought to the presidents attention
and another cabinet officer has re-
ceived the presidential pronouncia-
mento Get at the facts" Exten-
slve frauds are charged in connection
with the letting Of government con
tracts for seeds. Evidence has been
tiied before the court of claims in the
case of the New York Market Garden
ers association which SO seriously re-
fleets upon the seed distribution
bureau OF the agricultural department.
That the president could not let the
matter pass unnOticed. From the
evidence already produced it looks as
II the government had been defrauded
OF large sums Of money appropriated
by congress for yearly seed dispen-
sation" as result of the action Of
seed firms In violating their contracts.
The New York firm alleges that the
government still owes it over SIS, 900
under the contract for furnishing sec
fur distribution. On the face OF the
evidence produced it appears that the
government has lost small fortune
In the transaction and the facts point
to gross carelcSsness If nothing worse
on tina part OF officials of the depart
mcnt Of agriculture.
Here are the facts rs developed:
For the purchase and distribution OF
seeds congress appropriated SlO8 ,S74,-
lS. or this amount the manager OF
The New York Market Gardeners
association, Arthur G. Nellis, Is said
to nave received $50, SO. It ;s
the balance OF SIS, 900 that the assocla-
tion claims. In the counter allega-
tion it Is contcnded that Mr.. Nellis
violated previous contract in 1898,
but that despite this fact he received
a second contract in 1900. Among
the charges against the contractor are
that among his seed packages were of
short weight; inferior quality of seed
we're sent out; the cheapest kind of
paper employed; shipments delayed, al
though the law provides a fine Of S25
for every days delay; and that an OIL
clal of the department. of agricul-
ture was interested in the machines
used in the manufacture Of seed
packets and that government inspec-
tors allowed packages Of short weight
to pass unchallenged. The law Eequir-
cd that packages be shipped early in
November but as matter Of facJ
their shipment was delayed until the
following February. 1t is believed
that the investigation ordered by
President Roosevelt will develop
scandals involving the whole question
Of seed contracts and tie prospect is
that officials in the department. Of
agriculture will be, facing the music
after it has died out at the postotlice
department..
