International Socialist bureau at
Brussels, denouncing the lynching of
negroes In the United States, is COM
rnented on by the Paris press at
length. The protest, which has been
cabled only in part, calls attention to
the rapid increase" in the number
of lynchings in America.
ain 1902 it says, there were 1o3
lynchings in a single state. Investi-
cation made by the federal govern
ment has revealed a state of affairs
recalling all the horrors Of slavery.
-t"The negro works under whip and
bludgeon and is frequently beaten to
death to prevent him from escaping
from this martyrdom. He is COM
PEELED to work naked. He is impri-

Save Passengers on Chi.
cago Car.

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-Falling snow and
slippery rails caused collision be-
tween ogden avenue and Erie and
Sangamon street electric cars last
night in which thirteen persons were
injured. A police sergeant who risked
his life to save the passengers, was
among those badly hurt.
All the injured were on the Sanga-
mon street car. which was struck by
the heavier Ogden avenue car and
partly overturned. Police Sergeant
Thomas Meany was on the rear plat
form and saw the futile efforts of the
m otorman of the Ogden avenue car to
apply the brakes.
The shout Of the conductor aroused
the passengers to their danger and
they made rush for the rear plat
form. The police sergeant saw that
the car would be struck at that plat
form while the passengers were
crushed in the door, and he leaped in
side the car and forced the leaders
back.
Many were thrown to the floor by
the charge of the policeman, but the
platform was clear when the collision
occurred.

Russia Fast Drawing American Trade
Out of Manchuria.
New York Sun Special Service.
Picking, Nov.30.-By the successful in
auguration of commercial departments
of the Russo Chinese bank, and by
means of the Siberian railway and the
extension OF Russian influence to all
principal points In Manchuria Russia
is now supplying to the trade butter,
kerosene, flour, cotton and other prod
ucts, the Russians handling lines of
goods identical with those coming
from the United States. It is the in
tention of the Russians to make a
wholesale acquisition of foreign trade
in Manchuria.
The acquisition by the Russo
Chinese bank Of a large area of gov
eminent land at Niu Chuang and the
construction of permanent adninistra-
ton buildings will undoubtedly prove
oppressive to foreign trade at that
port. The Russian administrator has
openly threatened to injure by every
means in his power the influence and
authority OF the American consulate.
which has been the object of hostility
on the part OF former administrators
The same prospect awaits the opening
Of Mukden and Antung.

London, Nov. 3O.-A dispatch from
Toxic says that Admiral Alexieff, RUS
sian viceroy in the far east, has sent
the battleship Poltava and three tor
pedo boat destroyers to Chemulpo to
support Russian demands for redress
in connection with the recent ARRAY
between Russian and Japanese sailors,
regarding which the Russian minister
at Seoul maintains an unyielding at
titude.
A sensational conversation is re-
ported from Tientsin, in which Cen
eral Wogack stated to Yuan Shat Kai,
director general of the Peking-Shan-
Hai-Kwan railroad, that the demand
for the evacuation of Manchuria is
unreasonable and impossible Of full
fllment.
Yuan Shat Kai replied to this that
a third power would never consent
to accept such a view.
General Wogack rejoined that a
third power meant Japan and that
Russia could easily crush so small
and poor an opponent at one blow,
adding that China must accede to
Russia's wishes.

Hattie CoyingtOn Saunders.

Saturday night, April 18th, little Hattie
Covington Saunders, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Fl. Saunders, aged one year,
passed into the arms of Jesus, after suffer
ing but few days. Her death occurred
at Florence. There is a striking coinci-
dence in this visitation in that the Master
came for her on her birthday, as much
as to say this "world is too dark, cruel and
unfriendly for my little lamb" This ten
der and sweet one God loaned for brief
hour and then took it back to heaven
where amid the daisied fields and beside
the crystal river and in the presence of
Jesus she shall live forever. Indeed she
loved this world and in return was almost
idolized by papa and mama and scores of
others-but God loved her best. She is
now where darkness does not come and
clouds do not gather.
The family were accompanied from
Florence to Bamberg by Rev. Mr.. Oliver
their pastor, and several friends and rela-
tives, where the interment took place in
the old cemetery. May the truth of these
beautiful lines comfort the bleeding hearts
of the parents;
"When Jesus comes
Wen lay our pains and sorrows at his feet,
And once again our loved ones we will
greet;
When all life's bitter waters will be sweet
When Jesus comes"

The School Election.

The election on the question Of whether
Bamberg School District should issue
bonds for ten thousand dollars to erect
and equip suitable school building, was
held last Friday. The election passed off
quietly and good vote was polled. The
opponents of the proposition and those
in favor of it had come to an agreement
ON Wednesday. The total number of
votes polled was 1877, of which 100 were
in favor of the building and % against.
So the bonds will be issued and Bamberg
will have new school building, which
will be a credit and ornament to the
town, and the writer heartily rejoices over
this outcome, for a good school will be of
great benefit to the town and community.
The trustees will no doubt soon call a
mass meeting to elect building COM
mittee of FIVE, and strong business men
should be elected, men who will take
great interest in the erection of the build
ing and who will look closely to the
interests of the school.
