white man, and Ezekiel Aral, ne
gro are dead
Lang, who was a clerk in his broth
"r's store, went to Aral's house to
collect n bill from his daughter. The
woman denied the account and hot
words were exchanged. Later the
matter was related to Ezekiel, who,
with other negroes, went to I.ang's s
store and renewed the quarrel
Seeing that he was facing the crowd
alone, Lang pulled down a shotgun
and shot Ezekiel, who died from his
wounds.

Lang with a stick which resulted in
his death. At the coroners inquest
he jury found that Aral came to his
death from gunshot wounds at the

Vindictive Politics.
CFrom The Atlanta Journa'

(From The Atlanta Journal.)
The postoffice department has made
public the appointment of George
Washington Murray, negro and an
eX-congressman, as postmaster at the
fourth class office Of Huger S. G. This
is President Roosevelts reply, we
presume, to the democratic conten-
tion that he is menace to the peace
and prosperity Of the white and col
ored races of the south-a defiant an
swer if one of that character was
hurled out of the white house
In addition to the objection raised
by the community against the ap-
pointce-an objection which in itself
should have sufficient weight with
the president to cause The appoint
ment to be annulled-there is an
other and more serious consideration
to be weighed. 1t is stated in reports
from the state capital of South Caro-.
lima that Murray has been convicted
Of forgery.
This report has been published in
the newspapers broadcast, and as yet
we have heard of no action that has
been taken by the administration to-
wards removing the negro from office.
1t seems to be a case of vindictive
reprisal on the part Of the president.
For our part we are not in the least
surprised since it is on a level with
the other administrative acts towards
the white people of the south TO whom
Roosevclt's candidacy does not appeal
and from whom he cannot hope to
draw political strength. He had new
er allowed the appointment of ne
gro postmaster, we feel confident,
over community Of white people
whom he had reason to expect assist.

Auaustana arc Interested.

A dispatch from Augusta, Ga, says
recent decision in Carolina liquor
case is of considerable interest to the
liquor dealers of this city, who have
had considerable trouble, owing to the
seizure of shipments into the state by
dispensary constables. The decision
is Of interest because it defines the
rights of nonresident shipper of
whiskies and units the power of the
constable to seize and hold ship
mcntS
The decision is to the effect that
no shipment Of whiskies can be seiZ-
ed while in the hands of n common
carrier, not even If the carrier is
drayman, delivering the goods to the
rightful owner. The goods must first
pass into the hands Of the owner and
be released legally to him. This
means that shipments Of liquor can
not be seized while in the hands Of
railroads, steamship companies, or
while being delivered to the owners
by a transfer company or common
drayman.

maintains his innocence.
The young woman, who thought she
was taking dose of calomel, but af-
terwards was seized with convulsions
never regained consciousness, and the
only statement she made was of that
to the physician when he first arrived.
1t was thought at one time that the
woman would recover, but she grad.
ually grew worse. At the coroner's
inquest some sensational testimony
was brought out.
Boyd Harris, with whom the couple
had been living since their marriage,
testified that the young husband in.
sisted on his wife taking the medicine
which he had secured from a local
physician and which, after some per-
suasion, protesting against needing it,
she took 1t.
Gregory was arrested while his wife
lay at the point Of death, but was re-
leased under $500 bond when it was
thought that his wife would recover.
He maintains his innocence.
