THE PE0NAGE CASES.
A Prominent Alabama Planter
Found Guilty.

Montgomery, Ala, June M.-Today
in the United States Court ]. W. Pace,
a prominent planter, of Tallapoosa
County, was arraigned for trial on
eleven indictments charging him with
peonage.
Demurrers, which were filed in all
of these cases, were overruled, and he
then pleaded guilty to all of the eleven
charges and appealed to the Circuit
Court of Appeals at New Orleans,
making bond in the sum OF S., GOO.
The sentence of the Court on Mr..
Pace was FIVE years in each case, to
be served concurrently.
THE GEORGIA CASES.
Macon, Ca, June 24.-Ih the United
States Court today Judge Emory Spec,
imposed a fine of 81, 600 each on three
young men-Wm. Shy, Arthur Claw
son and Robt. Turner-for holding a
negro in involuntary servitude. He
SUSPENDED the fine under conditions.
In fning the young men Judge Speer
said:
"In view of the fact that it is the
first crime of this kind which has ever
occurred in Georgia, aud because OF
the frank confession of the young
men, sentence is imposed in order to
convince the public that the purpose
of the Court is to warn and deter others
from a like crime. During good be-
hayior the fine is suspended upon
pyment of 800 by each party
The offence was that the young men,
who are prominent farmers, caught a
negro who had gotten indebted tc
them, gave him whipping and made
him 90 to work for them. Judge Spee1
said that the problem of the times
could not be solved by harsh measures,
and that the laws of Georgia were
against such treatment.

The EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA.
This is Menelik's Title and he is
a Descendant of Solomon.

And who is the Emperor of Ethiopia?
Those who happen to know may con-
slider it an absurdly easy question to
answer. But such is the ignorance OF
things most necessary to know IN
which our people are sunk that only
a few are aware that Menelik II, OF
Abyssinia, has borne that title since
1889. He used to be called the Negus,
his full title being Negus Negastl,
meaning King of Kings. The Abys-
sinian monarch used to be mere King
of Choa. But now he rules the united
kingdoms of Choa, Godiam, Dlimma,
Kafa and Watamo, with some other
provinces. Consequently he is an En-
peror.
Ancient blood is expected in an I'm.
peror, and it is remarkable that ne CT
Abyssinia, the most obscure OF the IN.
perial band, is of the Oldest stock OF
all. At least that is his claim. Allu,
his father, came of the old royal
family of Ethiopia that traced its des-
cent to Menelik I, son of Solomon by
the Queen Of Sheba. Allu was eldest
son of q great chief named Sella..
Selassie, under whom the kingdom OF
Choa attained to its highest pitch OF
power. Now ella-Selassie's own
name had formerly been Menelik. but
he had been warned by a monk to
change it, otherwise he would suffer
great misfortune. He should, however,
said the monk, call the son of his
first born by the name of Menelik, and
the child so christened would one day
be the conqueror of all Ethiopia and
the. greatest of her rulers since the
days of Menelik I, son Of Solomon. As
soon, therefore, as the grandson
was born he was named Meneik. The
really curious thing about this story
is that it was certainly told and retail
ed by an Italian traveller some years
before MeneIik conquered ETHIOPIA
and consolidated his realm.-London

Four Killed in Family Fight.

Brooksville, Fla, June 24.-W. 8.
Hunter and Mrs. Cephas Eiland We're
killed and Cephas Eiland badly
wounded in shooting afray at Spring
Lake last night.
Eiland and Hunter were brothers-in-
law but were not on good terms.
Hunter was in Brooksyille all day
yesterday attending court. He left
early in the evening and instead of 60
ing 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
profane and abusive language in the
presence of Mrs. Eiland. Eiland Or
derd him to leave. He pulled his pis-
tol and began firing at Eiland who
returned the fire. Mrs. Eiland sprang
between the two while they were
shooting and was instantly killed in
the presence of her three little chill
dren. After emptying his pistol
Hunter ran short distance and died.
Eiland is badly wounded.

English Mill Owners Alarmed.

English cotton mill owners are be-
ginning to calculate how far ahead. OF
them is their finish. At q meeting in
Liverpool recently the chairman an
nounced to his colleagues that Amerl-
ca is growing in population at an enor.
nous rate, taking an average OF half
a million cotton goods users from
Europe every year, and the time IS
coming when the United States wall
probably require all the cotton she can
produce for herself.
It is not strange that our Engllsh1
cousins are beginning to sit up and
take notice of the increased American
consumption of cotton. The growth
Of our southern cotton mills is OF ltsef
a fact sufficient to warn them that the
words Of the mill owner quoted above
are fully warranted.
In 1892 90 We raised Z, 140, S67 bales OF
cotton and exported to Europe 4, $50, 79O
bales, or something more than three
ifths of the crop. In 1896 be began to
decrease our exports of cotton and IN
1889 1900 we retained for home coz
sumption nearly four and one-half
tentbs of the crop of 10000. 600 bales.
AS our average crop for eight years has
been 1885, s25 bales, it can be seer
that if our mills do not decrease their
demands materially we are now using
nearly two-thirds of our production.
Our immigration for the last decade
was 8, S44, 420-equal to one-tenth OF
the population of the United Kingdom
and this means ali annual diminution
of European cotton goods markets
equal to two-thirds Of million pur,
chasers annually. No wonder oul
British con- npetitors are beginning tc
feel the pinch of our home progress il
cotton milling and invasion Of the
markets where cotton goods are staples
of merchandise.
What we need to do in the south is
to keep right on pooling our capital il
the building of cotton mills F!1ctua'
tions in prices of the staple will con
tinue so long as our raw surplus is
marketed in Europe and priced for Us
by the Liverpool exchange. Bu1
when our population catches up, as il
soon will, to the measures Of our cot.
ton crops and the capacity Of our mills
TO take it uere at home, there will be
no surplus for Liverpool to juggle with
and the price-fxing boots for cottor
and cotton goods will be on the leg o.
Uncle Sam. His legs are in the south
so far as his cotton interests are con
cerned, and it is our duty to ourselves
to pull ,em for all they are worth !

Drowning and Suicide in Florence

Florence, June 24.-Mr. Samuel j.
Willoughby, well known citizen OF
this place, was drowned in Muldrow's
mill pond, four miles south of Flor
ence, this morning. Mr.. Willoughby
was fishing in the pond and was at
tempting to cross the bridge over the
wasteway when one of the boards tilted,
throwing him into the pond. An at
tempt was made to save him, but it
was of no avail, as the body was drawn
by the current considerable distance
from where it sank and it was half an
hour or more before the body was
found. All manner of restoratives
were applied, but without effect. Mr..
Willoughby was originally from North
Carolina. He was about So years old
and was deep-well contractor.
Mrs. Alice Hyman, wife Of Mr..
John .Hyman, of Hyman, S. c., this
county, committed suicide this morning

A few days ago a negress school
teacher was appointed to the George
Francis Train Public School, one of the
largest in Omaha. At noon the pupils
reported the matter to their parents.
The attendance for the afternoon was
olny so per cent. of the normal. On
the next day still more deserted, and
the ultimatum has gone forth to the
school board to "take away the negress
or we will close the school in which
she teaches by keeping our children
