STEPS DOWN
Captain of Battery A Finally
Resigns.

Capt. Larson, of Battery A, Mime
sofa. National guard, resigned yester-
day, and his successor will be named at
the next meeting of the battery if some
one can be agreed upon.
Capt. Larson is said to have resigned
under fire. For several weeks the
members of the battery, or a large
number Of them at least, have been
endeavoring to have the commanding
officers ask Capt. Larson for his resig-
nation, and during the past two weeks
1t has been known that the matter was
being considered by the officers In
charge.
Capt. Larson was not so popular with
the members OF the battery as he might
have been, and many of them threat
ened to stop attending the drills of the
battery unless someone else was
named for captain.
Some time ago petition was secret
ly circulated among the members of the
battery, asking for the removal of
Capt. Larson, and the petition was lib
orally signed. Nothing was done about
the matter at the time, however, but
the request was taken up by the COM
manding officers with the result that
Capt. Larson resigned yesterday.

CHAIN GANG BLAMED
FOR NEGRO OUTRACES
Convict System of the South
an Organized School of
Crime.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 12.-Dr. w.
P Thirkield, corresponding secretary of
the Methodist Freedman's Aid and
Southern Educational society, today. in
delivering the opening address of the
Evangelical alliance. charged that the
outrages of negroes in the South was
due to the chain gang prison system.
He said in part:
Far be 1t for me TO utter one word
in eXtenuation of the crime of which
some black men are found guilty. Let
us keep in mind, however, that only
about 20 per cent of the black men who
are lynched have even been charged
with crime against the SacredneSs of
womanhood. Let the black men bring
every influence to bear to make such
crimes impossible. Let there be prompt
execution of the law against this and
all crimes of all men. Lynch law, how
ever, is anarchy. 1t brings in the reign
of barbarism. 1t brutalizes members
of the mobs; it undermines the govern
ment; 1T does not stop crime.
In estimating criminality among the
black people. we should keep in mind
that since Appomattox nearly every
Southern state has maintained a school
of crime-an organized institution for
the training of criminals.
This l charge against the convict
lease system of the South. This sys-
tenn, with its thousands of victims, has
been the cause of much of the out
breaking crime among black people
through its brutaliZing and dehuman-
izing influence on thousands of ne
groes.
Under this system both prison and
prisoners are farmed out under the
control of private corporations, sold to
the highest bidder. To the lessees the
body and souls of convicts are assigned
The motive of both state and lessee is
not morals, but money; not reforma-
tion, but exploration of criminals for
gain. 1t is crime turned into a source
of revenue; the Drawn and blood of
criminals bartered for gain.
Criminals are generally scattered in
branch prisons-quartered in rude
stockades without proper sanitation,
food or clothing. The average life of
these convicts is less than ten years.
Old and young are promiscuously
chained and herded together. Even

ADDRESS The JURY
State and Defense Begin Argu-
ments in TiIIman Case.

LEXINGTON, S. c., Oct. 12.-Argu-
ments to the jury in the trial of ]. H.
Tfllman were begun with the convening
of court today. three attorneys for the
state and two for the defense address
ing the jury during the seven hours
court was in session. Four attorneys,
two on side, are to be heard tomor-
row. Mrs. ]. II. Tillman and the
mother of the defendant were present,
as they have been almost constantly
during the beginning of the trial, and
were attentive listeners.
Solicitor Thurmond opened for the
state, and, referring to the editorials
in The State, Mr.. Thurmond said they
We're before the jury to show the feel
ing between Gonzales and Tillman.
liberty of the press.
The solicitor devoted himself largely
to review and summing up of the
evidence adduced by the prosecution
concerning threats, next taking up and
comparing the testimony of witnesses
on the two sides relative to the shoot
ing, with a view to showing that Con-
zales was unarmed and sought to
avoid q difficulty when he met the de-
fendant on the day of the shooting
The solicitor was followed by Mr..
Rembert, of counsel for the defense, who
said, among other things, that the de-
fense did not concede that N. G. Con-
zales was unarmed at the time he was
shot. Stress was laid by counsel upon
the charges made by Gonzales against
the defendant to show, as he stated,
the influence they had on the defend
ants mind when he met Gonzales.
Attorney William Elliott, Jr., con-
tended that Gonzales was within his
right In criticising a man in public life
and asserted that Tillman had re-
course to the libel law for redress. He
said also that number Of the utter
ances contained in the editorials which
have been read were extracts from
other newspapers, and added that Con-
zales had not mentioned the home life
Of the defendant. Mr.. Elliott said the
dying declaration taken down in short
hand had not been introduced because
the stenographer taking 1t was Con-
zales private stenographer.
Col. George Johnstone contended
that the liberty Of the press did not
give the right of denunciation. He
dwelt upon the testimony of witnesses
for the defense as to threats. He in
sisted that the two statements testified
to as the dying declarations of Con-
zales were at variance, and that the
variance was due to the morhpine ad-
ministered to him after he was shot.
He asked why the dying declaration,
which was taken down in shorthand,
had not been offered in evidence, dwell
ing upon Its absence from the records.

before the jury with Gonzales over
coat on, and, pointing to the bullet
hole. claimed 1t supported the defend
ants version Of the shooting.

FLY SAVES MAN $640
Humble Insect FoiIs a Sneak
Thief.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Listen to the
tale of the heroic fly. The tale has a
moral which it will cost nothing to
heed. The moral is: If you have no
money to enjoy private detectives to
protect you from grafters and public
detectives, get a fiy-a nice, domes-
ticated, well-behaved fly-and carry it
about with you
Nicholas Fem, of Minneapolis, went
to sleep yesterday afternoon in the
corridor of the Grand Pacific hotel.
His coat was unbuttoned, and in the
pocket of the coat was a wallet con-
tanning $64S-all the money he had in
the world.
His sleep was disturbed by the
buzzing of fly, supposed to be the last
fly of the season. He reached up sew
eral times and made aimless passes at
the little pest, but was unable to drive
1T away. He did not wake up, and the
fly kept on buzzing. Fenns dreams
were filled with swarms of winged in
sects that clouded his sleeping vision,
swept to and fro, and threatened ever
and again to smother him.
Finally the fly alighted on his nose.
1t declined to be moved or frightened
by the sleeper's slowly moving head.
1t stuck. Fem stirred, and then sat
upright.
He made a sharp pass at his tor
mentor, and his hand encountered
something solid. He opened his eyes,
and at the same instant closed his
fingers. They were encircling the wrist
of a man, whose hand was in Fenn's
coat pocket.
Help! A thief!!' he shouted.
The fly few away. The thief jumped
up from the chair next to Fenn's,
wrenched his wrist loose and ran down
the corridor and out at the door. His
intended victim reported his case to
the clerk and told how he had hap
pened to be saved. He gave much
praise to the timely fly.

WHY RUSSIA WILL
HOLD MANCHURIA
Pretext IS That Rowing Bands of Chinese Driven by
Famine, Have Entered Manehuria, Therefore the
Cars Troops Must Reman---No Confirmation of the
Report That Japan Has Issued an UItimatum.

LONDON, Oct. PA dispatch from
MOSCOW to the Times, states that a
large force of Russian troops under
orders for the far East are now on
koff.
Tne Russian correspondents of the
same paper send quotations from
newspaper articles pointing to Russia's
intention TO remain in occupation of
Manchuria and add that it is reported
from Vladivostock that as a result of
famine in China, rowing bands of
Cnlnese have. crossed into Manchuria,
Where their presence constitutes a
danger to the Manchurian railway and
that this necessitates keeping Russian
troops in Southern Manchuria for an
indefinite period.
The peculiar official explanation of
the postponement of the cars visit to
Rome, owing to circumstances over
which he has no control" is inter-
preted In some quarters to mean that
the threatening outlook in far Eastern
analrs calls for the emperor's presence
in Russia
There Is no confirmation of the
alarmist rumors. At the Japanese le-
cation last night no news had been re-
ceived of the reported untimatum.
