The State, 7th inst.

1hC StutSs I'll iusl.
Col Thos. Wilson of CaGes.
one of the leading citizens of
Williamsburg county and the
owner Of extensive lumber and
railroad interests, was in the city
yesterday and made some very
strong statements in regard to the
murder of the negro prisoner at
Scranton last Saturday.
Col. Wilson was unsparing in
his denunciation of the crime.
The fact that this negro was not
convicted by one of the best juries
which had ever been drawn in
Williamsburg county shows That
there was some belief that the
negro had provocation when he
shot the livcryman, Niece, last
winter Col. Wilson was uD the
local train just preceding the yos-
tibule, and seven masked men
entered the train. Col. Wilson
ordered them out rs they were
terrifying the passengers. At
this one of the men asked him if
the prisoner was on board Col.
Wilson replied in the negative and
the man remarked, "WelI, hNys,
Col. Wilson says he amt in hero,
SO that settles it; nc is coming up
on the vestlbule, as we hearl -
Col Wilson heard while on the
train that it had been told at
kingstreo two hours before tha,
the prisoner would be sent to Go
lUmbiu on the vcstibule.
Tie wants the matter investigat-
cd thoroughly. None of tha seven
men are known to him, but they
evidently knew him. He declined
to make any comment on the nc
tion of the sheriff, hut he did
seem to think it strange that the
negro's removal 10 Columbia
should have been known so gen
orally even before the train arriv-
ed at Scranton.
Capt. George Evans, who was
of the the party to whom Col.
Wilson was speaking, recalled the
celebrated Culbreath case IN
Edgefield county. Culbreath was
white farmer of good circum
stances and was arrested on suss
plcion of having killed a young
man who was TOO attentive to
members of Culbreath's family.
There was Il great deal of feeling
over the matter, aud when the
prisoner was in Mr.. Evans office
making out papers for application
for bail, mob Of about 30 ap
peared. Culbresth was given a
pistol and was advised to defend
himself if necessary. The mob

Judge Parker was the center of a
little group the other day, comprising
politicians, newly returned traveller
from abroad, and a newspaper woman
The traveller was giving a long and
somewhat tiresome account of his ex-
perience in Europe, says the New York
Times, and the newspaper woman was
slowly but surely driving the judge to
desperation by bombardlng him with
questions on many subjects.
Judge, the most impressive thing
saw in Japan was an idol" said
the traveller. at was the figure of a
woman, seated, and resting her chin
in the palm of her right hand
couldn't ind out what she had done
to be so imnortaliZed."

to the traveller: Il know. The jap
anese are wise, and they erected that
idol as expressing their reverence for

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.)
says: "A man as prominent as Speak
err Cannon ought to have more fairness,
as we'll as self-respect, than to tell an
audience, as he told one in Vermont
last week, that Judge Parker is I'M
sound on the money question because
he voted twice for Bryan. Such
statement might do for a crossroads
demagogue, but Cannon knows better,
and the remark does him no credit.
He knows that voting for Bryan was
not an evidence of agreement with
his silver notions, and he ought to
know that men voted for Bryan who
are sounder on the money issue than
he can claim TO be and tell the truth.
The Galveston Daily News (Dem.)
SAYS: 1.-THE mistreatment of American
citizens in Turkey may be very un-
kind, but is certainly less grievous
than the mistreatment of American cit
liens in Colorado, in Chicago and else
where within the limits OF our own
country. What sort of statesmanshlp'
is that which raises squall over in
dignity offered to Greek in Morocco
or to a 'reformer' in Turkey, or in sonic
other weak nation with no power of re-
sistance, and leaves scores of worthy
men and women to be beaten to death
openly at homer"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: This, then, is the issue: Shall
the trusts be permitted TO purchase
another four years lease OF the Dingley
tariff from the party in power? With
this issue plainly before the country,
Il is not strange that organs OF the par
ty should evade II with the pretense
that the money standard would be en-
dangered by the election OF Alton B.
Parker and that the trust contributions
are for the sole purpose OF saving IT,.
But Il would be strange IL they should
believe the tale with which they seek
to beguile the public"
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem },
in discussing the race plank in the Re-
publican platform, says: This brief
rehearsal of the party's declarations IN
various years shows steadily dimln-
iFhing interest in the whole question,
until the present year. Just what the
inspiration for this last manifesto Is,
no one seems to know. 1t has aroused
strong indignation at the South, and
has been received, we are glad 10 see,
with no sort of enthusiasm at the
North. The Southern people ought 10
make 4 plain to their Northern friends,
merchants and correspondents every
where in that section. that this new
agitation bodies no good whatever 10

South or the North. We feel quite
sure much sound missionary work can
be accomplished BY word OF mouth
and b. correspondence And doubt
less much work Of this sort has already
been done, but more ought 20 be done. /"

A PACKING HOUSE FOR SAVANNAH

'
1t is good news that Mr.. r. NJ. Mar
tin, who is in charge of the Georgia
building at the St. Louis Fair, brings
to Savannah, namely, that a Western
packing house company is negotiating
for ten thousand acres OF land within
fifty miles Of this city and that it is
it's purpose to establish a great stock
farm ON this land and erect a packing
house here. A few weeks ago we call
ed attention to the advantages offered
by Savannah for a packing house, and
suggested that efforts ought to be
made by the Chamber of Commerce to
interest Western packers in this Sec
ton Of the South.
There is an immense section of coun-
try in the southern and southwestern
counties Of this state that is well
adapted to stock raising. 1t is well
watered and has a fine climate. 1t can
be obtained at a low price per acre.
1t makes first-class cattle ranges and
will produce either corn of cassava,
the latter being a splendid crop for
fattening cattle. 1t is remarkable that
more attention has not been given to
cattle raising in this portion OF the
South. There is certainly money in
the business.
A packing house here, even though
IL were of large proportions, would
soon have offered it all the cattle II
could slaughter. And the South would
afford a market for the output OF the
business. Southern cities are growing
rapidly and a packing house here could
undersell Western packers who now
supply this market with meat.
In this connection it might be well
to mention that a number OF japanese
have gone from the st. Louis EXPOSE
tion to Louisiana and Texas to inspect
the rice lands OF those states with the
view Of settling colonies OF Japanese
upon them. The report received from
them is that they are highly pleased,
and that there will be no trouble in
getting Japanese farmers TO migrate
10 those states.
There are many thousands Of acres
OF rice lands In this county and in 9TH
er counties Of Georgia. Wouldn't Il be
good policy for the Chamber Of Com
merce 20 communicate with japanese
at the st. Louis Fair with the
view OF having them send a COM
mittee 70 this county to inspect our
rice and other lands? All OF Chatham
county's lands ought to be under cul-
tiyation. Tens Of thousands Of acres
are waiting the ploughman. II all FL
the lands were under cultivation they
would add greatly TO the business OF
the city The lowlnnds east on the

A certain man who Was not of the
cultured classes had made a fortune
in the wholesale grocery business, re-

to furnish the capital to start a mag
azine. He went to a big book-print-

cause of his ignorance of the technical
tiles of his new enterprise.
The printer soon dropped such talk
as that about names of type and the
