MexIco Rennovea putv ON Whaar

Mexico City, Feb. 13.-The order OF
President Diaz temporarily removing
all duties on wheat has gone into eff
feet and will continue until June 80
next. The wheat yield in Mexico last
season was smaller than the average
yield and since then the supply of ma
tive wheat has been growing less, so
it was decided to temporarily remove
the duty to prevent a general increase
in prices which would have worked
hardships to the poorer classes. This
move on the part of the president has
given general satisfaction

WHIPPED NEGRO TO DEATH.
lnhuman Work of Whitecaps Near
Charleston, S. c.

Charleston, S. c., Feb 13.-Jake
Hines from the effects of a whipping
administered few nights ago by a
party of whitecappers, is dead. :.
Hines, negro, lived on Young
island, near Charleston. He was sus-
pected of killing hogs. A party
searched his house, found 10 pork
but did find a bag of fertilizer under
his bed. Hines was taken out and
beaten until he collapsed. He would
not tell whether he had accomplices
and because Of that the beating was
long continued.
A peculiar situation developes. There
is no magistrate to have an investtga-
tion there, because Youngs island is
in the jurisdiction of Magistrate L. c.
Behling, who few days ago killed a
neighbor in dispute over land, and
is now in the Walterboro jail.
