There was much dissatisfaction
among the military men left behind

to Norway Sunday morning, made e
report today to the adjutant general. !.
He Gays that he found no immediate
danger OF an uprising, but thought the
sending OF the troops there had gooC
effect as there was considerable feeling
among the negroes because Of the
lynehing OF Evans. Mr.. Phillips, ON

LYNCHING IN OkANGBURG.
Terrible Murder Followed by a Lyuchiug.

Norway, June 29.-One of the most
horrible murders was Committed here
tonight that has ever been known In
this county.
John T. Phillips, white, was sitting
down eating supper with his family
when some unknown party shot
through the window hitting him in the
back OF the head and shooting out hie
brai1s. The ehot also hit two Of his
children. q email girl about 8 years old
and lttl0 boy about ii.

Lyaclied BY Outraged citlzens.

). Norway. s. c., July 1.-Charles
Evans, o negro man about 25 years Of
age, was taken from the lookup here
last night by O. mob, consisting of three
hnndred infuriated citizens and lynch.
ed. Monday night Evans shot Mr.. j.
z. Phillips and his little daughter,
kuDy, while Shey were at supper
fired % through h: q WINDOW soS Of si the honssg: hSs'ng
It is presumed that Evans committed
the deed because Of ILL feeling towards
son Of PHILIPPE family. Sunday last
young Phillips struck Evans with s..
buggy whip, and it is presumed that
the assassination followed as matter
OF revenge: Evans was caught Mon
day and lodged In the lookup. Late
Tuesday night an infuriated crowd of
broke open the doors of the guard
house, took the murderer out and hang
ed him to nearby tree. The mob
then dispersed. Today all is quiet in
the town.
Orangeburg. July 2.-Your CORES
pondent had cOnVe1sation to-day
With q party from Norway and learned
some OF the particulars OF the lyuching
at that town on Tuesday night. It
seems that there was little doubt of
the guilt of the Evans brothers and
there is proof that the plot TO kill old
Mr. Phillips was conc0cted o day or
to several Of the other negroes of that
section. The first substantial clew to
the kdilt Of the Evanses came from
negroes, and their well-known dispo-
eitiOn to talk resulted in the cat being
let out of the bag. One of the Evans
laeoys remarked after the shooting &c
another negro, who. no doubt, knew
OF the plot: II got him. This remark
passed from one TO another among the
Several negroes were made TO tell
what they. knew OF the matter and
even Charles Evans, when caught did
not deny being implicated in the affair.
He admitted that he was present, but
alleged that his brother, James Evans,
did the shooting. There seems to be
little doubt among the people OF Nor
the house OF Mr.. Phillips the night Of
present were Charles Evans and the
younger brother, James Evans. 1t 10 a
question Of doubt as to which Of them
actually ehOt the gun. It is said that
an old muZzle- loading musket was
..eea for thes. bloody deed and that the
bnoG was tired through the window
glass, as the sash was down at the
time. II is probable that the men
dow at the time the shot was fired.
CHARLES Evans was caught with little
trouble, as the posse, acted very
promptly upon receipt Of information,
but the brother so far has made good
hiaseecape. It is thought that he Is in
Robert Swamp, which is very close to
| the home OF the Evanses and not far
from Norway. There is nothing in the
knk f,r 81 4
able that in the event James is found
In the neighborhood Of Norway he will
meet the same fate as Charles, but it
is said that should this party get in the
hands of the officers there viii be no
efforts used to take him by force. =

DON'T HAVE TO

CHANGE IN THE REQUIREMENT.
FOR CIVIL SERVICE EXAM1NA-
TON FOR POSTAL SERVICE.

The modification in the rating Of sub
iects for civil servict examinations L.
postal clerk and letter carriers, b. the
Civil Service Commission as, notified to
the local board of examiners, is con-
sdered a very important, and in some
respects a very radical move. Hereto
fore United states Geography and
reading addresses have each counted
for % on the basis of 100 in determin-
ing the standing of those who take the
examinations Perfect familiarity with
the geography Of the mainland was
therefore an essential to those who
sought to pass the examination for be-
ing placed on the eligible list A. b.
Ingalls,, the secretary of the local ex-
aiming board, says that more of those
who failed to pass the examination
failed on questions of geography I'M
connected with their work here, ques-
tions of geography of distant states Of
the union, than from any other one
cause.
This fact, Mr. ingalls, thinks has led
the commission to modify the exam
ination to meet local requirements The
same experience has been met with in
Porto Rico and others of the new pos
sessions.
While the relative Importance %
United States geography and reading
addresses have been cut down from %
per cent each to 10, arithmetic, letter.
writing and penmanship have each
been raised from ten per cent to TWEEN
ty. The circular announcing the chang
ed rules and the first examination 60
be held under them, is as follows. The
examination will be held at the High
School May 2, but applications must be
filed with A. b. ingalls, at the Gaugers
Office not later than April 80:
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the Federal
service ii bright, energetic persons VINO
are not afraid of hard work, and as
previous examinations have failed to
result in a sufficient number of ciigi-
bles the Commission urges all persons
who are qualified, and who may desire
to enter the PostOfliCe Service, to APP
ply for and take this examination. 1t
may be stated that there is a wider
field for advancement upon merit in
the Federal service than in many pri-
vate employments. While the salary
in the Post-OffiCe Service is usually
about $500 per annum at the start, this
amount compares favirably with the
compensation of q beginner in private
employment.
The nature of the examination is q
test of practical, general intelligence
and of adaptability in post-office work.
The examination will consist of thu
subjects mentioned below which will Oe

"lUXURlES" ON BATTLESHlPS
Modern Vessel Carries $50 Tons of
Unnecessary Articles.

Modern Vessel Carries $50 Tons of
Unnecessary Articles.
Rear Admiral Bowles, chief Of the
Bureau Of Construction. has made a
calculation based on Investigations
made by officers of his bureau of the
weight Of "luXuries" carried on a bat.
tleship Of recent construction. In the
preparation Of plans and designs for
war vessels there Is almost constant
contention between the several bureaus
in regard to the weights that should
be carried. each branch contending for
the installation of machinery and de-
vices deemed essential. These contro-
verses are usually settled by com
promise. in which something is yielded
by each but the result is often unsat-
isfactory, and not infrequently has
proved detrimental to the efficiency Of
the vessel.
AT recent meeting of the Board of
Construction Admiral Bowles declared
that on each battleship there were $50
tons OF luXuries. statement which
startled the members of the board
Included in these so-called luxuries
are materials of every description that
cannot be classified as necessities, such
us furniture. ice machines. refrigera-
tors, radiators and the machinery re-
quired for them.
1t is pointed out that flagshps are
supplied with two bathrooms and ap-
purtenanceS for the flag officer while
one bath tub is deemed sufficient for
the ward room. in which fifteen or
twenty officers live. There will be I'M
doubleday protracted discussion as
to what constitutes luxuries, but Off
GERS generally believe that much of the
weights which Admiral Bowles de-
scrihcd might be abolished and the
space given to what may be called ne
cessities.
There will be little discussion outside
of the Nag rank as to the necessity for
two bath tubs in the elegant and spa
cious quarters set apart for the ad-
miral. The additional bath Is provided
for the guest of the admiral in case
he should have one. which seldom hap
pens.-New York Times.
