butable the poison that has been
given him on more than one occasion,
but the negro is too cowardly to wait
until the poison takes effect before

direct results Of the riot episode is
the passing Of the city and county
government ompletely into the hands
of the white people. The negroes put
up tickets in both elections last year
but failed to support them on the

The Old Story

\ dispatch from Manila says Captain
Pershing's force captured Bacoloo,
Island of Mindanao, Wednesday killed
a. hundred Moros and wounded many
others. Three Americans were
wounded. Pershing's force consisted OF
Shaw:s battalion of the 9th infantry
kilpatrick of the 18th Cavalry and
Chacuacis battery. PerShing was sur
veying the West Shore lands when
the Bacolodians opposed his advance
and provoked the fight. Pershing sur
rounded and attacked their strong
hold, first shelling them and rushing
his troops forward charging CALAMITY.
After crossing the deep moat and en-
tering the fort, the Americans engag-
ed the Moros' bayonets against krlsses.
A hundred Of the defenders were kill
ed, including the datto Of Pannanduu-
gan and many were. wounded. Only
three Americans were wounded. AFTER
the capture Of the fort it was des
troyed.

THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER
OF an Unknown Man in the City
OF Charleston.

Charleston has another mysterious
murder case. The Post says with a
bullet hole through the head and an
other through the heart, the body OF
a we'll dressed, unknown young white
man, about nineteen years Of age, was
found half buried in the marsh near
Wappoo mills Friday afternoon. The
body was discovered by T. Jeryey,
who was out in the Ashley river in
his boat. The information that the
body OF man had been found was
communicated to Coroner O'Donnell
and he caused it to be removed,
brought to the city and sent to the
hospital. 1t was in state OF almost
perfect preservation, showing that IL
had been in the water only few days.
In the left temple was a bullet hole
made by a 32 caliber pistol and the
other was through his heart. Either
Of the wounds would have caused in
slant death. In his pockets were
found an open case silver watch, a few
pennies, a small knife, pair OF cuff
buttons, pocket comb, a number OF
pistol cartridges and a newspaper
clipping telling Of the suicide OF
Frederick I. Stebbins, a Socialist who
killed himself at Rochester, the early
part Of this month. The clipping
gave the reasons for Stebbins' suicide
and on the margin Of the strip Of pa
per we're written these words, i say
the same, goodbye" 1t was believed
by the coroner that the unknown
Young man had killed himself by
shooting himself in the head and then
throwing himself in the river. When
the body was found Friday only one
wound, that in the temple, was dis
covered, but when the body was
stripped for a post mortem examina-
tion bullet hole was found through
his heart.
An inquest was held Saturday
morning at the city hospital and
full investigation was made. Inc
two wounds, either Of which "oulo
have cause instant death, led the jury
to believed that the man was muir
dered and thrown into the river. 1t
is thought that the newspaper clipping
with the words. II say the same,
goodbye" written on the piece OF pa
ner. was placed in his vest pocket 1or
the purpose of covering up the crime
of murder and making the crime one
of suicide. The jury rendered ver-
dict that the deceased, unknown to
them, came to his death at the hands
of a party OF parties unknown to the
jury.

The Crazy Elder.

The State says DR.. J. W. Babcock
reports little change in the condition
of the Mormon elder who was given
severe treatment in Williamsburg
county a few days ago on account OF
his offending a lady OF the Lake City
section. The demented elders travel
ing companion has called on him here.
These elders always 60 about in pairs.
The question now arises, what
shall be done with this insane man."
He is not a citizen Of this State and
the law provides that the State OF
South Carolina shall not take care Of
parties in such a condition unless they
have been residents for two years
preceding. This was done in order to
keep neighboring States from impos-
ing upon South Carolina. AS the elder
Is a citizen of Utah it is thought that
he should be cared for by the people
of that State.

BIG GUNS BURSTS.
a Fatal Accident on the Battleship
Iowa Thursday.
A TWELVE INCH TUBE ExPLoDEs
several Seamen Killed and Wound
ed. The Disaster Occurred
During Target Practice Or
Pensacola, Fla.
Pensacola, Fla.

a disastrous explosion occurred on
the battleship Iowa Thursday while
the vessel was at target pratice in the
gulf Of Mexico. The forward port 12-
inch gun burst from the premature
explosion of a shell, II feet Of the
piece outside the turret being demol-
ished. Three men were killed and
five injured, two seriously.
The killed are: First-class Seaman
Kiele, Ordinary Seaman Percell and
Gunner's Mate Berry.
The injured are: t'irst-class Sea-
man Caught, Ordinary Seamen Truese5
dale, Brown, Mansdale and Parrucker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gun deck at mess. Three
pieces Of the exploded gun, each
Weighing over ton, passed doWnWard
through the spear deck, falling upea4
the men at mess, Instantly killing the:
three named. All Of the men were
horribly mutilated. The heavy mis-
siles, after passing through the gun
deck, continued down to the third
deck, where they came in contact
with the armored deck, the heavy
steel bringing them to stop, thus:
saving the engineers and fremen who
were at work below. Although the
upper decks were crowded with men,
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had 'een sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
the dinner hour. The range had been;
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at speed of - knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reed, in charge Of the forward
12-inch turret, gave orders to load:
and and FIRE. The time fuse was cut
for the range, the piece charged,
breech closed and the word given to-
fire. Following the report Of the gun
there was q Smothered report as the
shell exploded midway in the gun and
pieces of the bursted gun and shell
were scattered broadcast. Three
great holes were torn through the
deck. Those who were below began
coming up on Geek, some bloody and
mutilated, while lying on the floor
crushed almost beyond recognition
were the three unfortunate men,.
The Massachusetts, six miles distant,
was signalled for aid, and oae Of the;
L. g,yHx
assistants. The wounded men were
taken to the hospital and their in-ssss
juries dressed. The dead were brought.
to Pensacola.
Some claim the explosion was
caused by a defective shell, and others
think that the frequent firing Of the
piece at Culebra during the winter,
added with the work done here dur
ing the past 10 days, so strained the
piece that the force Of the charge
burSted the gun.

a WOMAN IN BLACK.
Strange Story That Comes from the
County Seat Of Colleton.

a dispatch from Walterboro to The
State says quite sensation was Great
ed in that town on Thursday morning
by the arrest upon a warrant issued
by Magistrate J. r. Bryan of Sd.
Fennell, a farmer and manufacturer
of lumber, residing about six miles
from the town, on charge Of forgery.
Being unable to give a bond Of 500
be was committed to jail.
A mysterious woman in black, de-
scribed as quiet and handsome figures
in the case. In fact, she is the Chief
actor. It is'not known who she is.
What is known is that she appeared
at the Farmers and Merchants bank
at Walterboro on March u, presented
a check for s432, bearing the sigma
ture of W. O. Thompson, Jr., drawn
upon the Bank of Hampton in favor
of one Of his married sisters, whom
she impersonated, and received the
money.
The circumstance connecting Fen
nell with the transaction is that he is
known to have accompanied the Wo-
man from Walterboro to Hampton,
conyersing with her the preceding day,
At Hampton she presented a check
for similar sum, but owing to some
error payment was refused. He re-
turned with her to Walterboro the
same day.
Where she secured lodging for the
night cannot be ascertained. Fennen
admits seeing her on the train, but de-
MES knowledge Of her identity. An
other mystifying feature Of the case
is that the woman must have known
the extent of Thompson's deposlst IN
the Bank of Hampton, and have been
familiar with his signature. Thomp-
son, who is now on visit to Florlda,
might aid in clearing up the mystery
of the mysterious woman in black,
Diligent efforts are being made 10 ma
out who she is and where she is.

a GOOD ROADS MEETING
To Be Held in St. Louis the Latter
Part Of april.

The question of good roads is giving
public men more to think about than
anything else which has come up in
the last generation. There is no deny
ing the self-evident facts presented by
those who advocate building good
roads and who urge that to have bad
roads is more costly and more of tax
in the end than the paying Of a Especial
tax for the purpose of building roads
which will be permanent in their
nature.
At the last session Of the general
assembly there were number Of
measures introduced, some advocating
special tax, and others suggesting a
local option plan such as has been
adopted by special school districts
let each township vote upon the Ques-
tion. Others suggested the plan Of
issuing township bonds for this pur-
pose. But no action was taken, so
unsettled were the convictions Of the
legislators.
One OF the most earnest advocates
of building and maintaining good
roads is Governor Hayward. He has
repeatedly urged the Importance Of
this MATTER and is taking no
little interest in the proposed good
roads convention which is to be held
at St. Louis on the 9th Of this
month. He expects to attend, if his
business engagements will permit, and
aas been informed that President
Roosevelt and the governors Of a num-
Der Of States will be there at that
time and will make addresses.
Governor Hayward Wednesday an
nounced the appointment Of the dele
gates from this State to that conven-
tion, and be has selected the gentle
men named not so much because Of
their prominence in the good roads
movement, but because he believes
they will attend and will bring back
to South Carolina ideas which will be
Of great value in the movement. Fol
