Must Serve Lie Sentence.

Ben Bennett, white, who killed his
wife in Hampton county month or
more ago, has been captured in
Savannah. Twas claimed that the
killing was accidental, and Bennett
was released by the coroner. He
had been previously convicted of
murder and had served part OF life
sentence in the penitentiary. He
was pardoned on condition that he
leave the State never to return, and
he went to Georgia. He paid fre-
quent visits to his wife, in this State,
however, and on the last trip killed
her, claiming that in the darkness he
thought he was shooting at burglar
in the house. After being released
he left the State, but Governor Hey
ward Immediately took steps to have
him rearrested. Sheriff Lightsey
was also active in pursuit of the
criminal, and he telegraphed from
Savannah the other day that aH. w.
Jenkins has Bennett locked up"
Who Jenkins is the Governor does
not know, but he wired the sheriff TO
bring Bennett to the penitentiary.
Having violated the terms of the
pardon granted by Governor Nc
Sweeney, he will now have TO serve
out a life sentence, which was i'm
posed for the murder for which he
was pardoned.

c. Y. Daniel, of Royston, Ga, was
shot and fatally injured by John
Ware, colored, last week. Mr..
Daniel was with q party of bailiffs
who had gone to arrest Ware under
a peace warrant. Ware surrendered
and gave up his shot gun. The Off
GERS had carried him about one mile.
AT this point Ware fred two shots
from a thirty-two calibre revolver.
One shot took effect, entering the
abdomen and passing through the
right kidney and lodging under the
skin. There is little or no hope for
Daniels recovery The party was
overtaken by mob of masked men,
about four miles of Gainesville.
who overpowered the officers and
took Ware about fifty yards and
hung him by the neck to small
hickory tree. The only words Ware
spoke were to the effect that il he
had lived he would have killed six
prominent men of Franklin county.

New York, September %. Much
amusement has boon caused by the
publication Of San Open Confession 2
by the editor of a monthly paper.
posing as q financial authority. The
periodical has been freely circulated
outside Of New York since June,
and in July was dcbarred from the
mails. Post Office inspectors were
unable to find the place of publica-
tion or to learn who was responsible
for the paper. The business address
was found to be livery stable in
Washington, and the paper is sup
posed to have been printed here.
In the confession the editor says
that after having held his position
three months, and being about to re-
tire, his conscience impels him to
state: a.s
81 have been in charge of this pub
lication in the interest of one of the
most desperate gangs of swindlers
and thieves that has ever infested
any country. Outside of this state
ment, no word of truth has ever APP
peared in these columns. Upright
and honest business men, as well as
straightforward and prosperous cor
porations, have been maliciously at
tackled with the sole idea that money
might be Influenced from them to
the Golfers of the gang that has given
me employment.
"Some of those who have been
attacked have been ruined thereby,
and many thousands of dollars have
been lost by small investors as a
result"
The editor further declares the
firms he recommended were fraudu-
lent, and that country people were
thereby defrauded of thousands of
dollars.

The Church Whiskey shop.

. 4
"The Church of God has been in-
suited" declared Rev. A. r. Hol-
derby, ID. d., pastor of the Moore
Memorial Presbyterian church, re-
Gently during the course of his SER
mon, while speaking of the dedica-
tion of the Subway tavern, at the
corner of Bleecker and Mulberry
streets, New York, by Bishop Henry
@. Potter, of the Episcopal church.
He has given his great influence to
the devil and has dealt blow to the
whole church," said the pastor.
DIR. Holderby dwelt at some length
with the dedication of the stemper-
ance saloon" in New York City. He
said in part:
"I'ishop Potter has made great
mistake. He may be honest in his
convictions, but he has not only
dealt q severe blow to the cause of
temperance, but he has damaged the
cause of Christ. From the news
paper reports it appears that this
distinguished representative of the
Episcopal church not only endorses
the whiskey saloon, but makes the
saloon an adjunct to the church.
"He proposes, it seems, to run and
to regulate his saloon upon the high
moral plane of the church. Has
there ever been more high-handed
outrage perpetrated against the
church than this wicked scheme of
making the whiskey saloon an ad-
junct of the church of God?
"Of all The evil forces with which
the church has to contend, the liquor
traffic is the most formidable, and
yet here is Christian minister en-
dorsiug and encouraging the whiskey
saloon and proposing to run the bust
ness under the auspices of the church.
"Bishop Potter's act is inexcusable
and unwarrantable. He has given
his great influence to the devil and
has dealt blow to the whole church.
"This scheme means victory to
the cause of the liquor traffic and it
will be hailed with joy by every
saloon man and every drunkard in
the country.
"The church of God has been in
suited and Christ has been wounded
in the house of his friends. A saloon
opened with prayer! What bias
phemy! The next thing we may
expect to see will be turf exchange
and faro bank attachment to the
church. Why notP These institu-
tions of the devil would be as appro-
pirate adjuncts to the church as
Bishop Potter's saloon.
"The church may well hang her
head in shame and even the devil
may afford to blush"

Why They We're sIs!er..In-lL ~.

The negro is sometimes good
deal mixed regarding relationships,
as the following incident illustrates !:
A lady had a negro cook who
must have been 70 years old, bdt
who, in spite of her years, was "fne
in the business" when il came to
cooking. Another colored woman
of advanced years was in the habit
of coming to see the cook, and one
day the lady said
"Dinah, who is that old colored wo-
man sometimes find in the Kitchen
with you?
"Dat ole oman, missus? Oh, she's
jess relationship of mine."
"What kind of relationship,

withltlh. Two races, one of which has
of thai slave to the other, are living in
s"ghe same country and under the law
they are entirely equal and entitled
to all the rights and privileges of
citizens. There are $4,000 negroes
in South Carolina and only 800, 900
white people. For eight long, dis
NAL years these ignorant and debased
negroes governed, if the word can be
applied to such rule as we had, and
then the white minority threw off
the yoke. We did it because life
had ceased to be worth living on the
terms and conditions which existed
from '63 to '76.
From necessity we used force and
fraud TO overcome the majority. The
negroes were backed by the United
States Government and the great
Republican party. The whites had
nothing but the memory of a civili-

Eats Nothing But Grass.

An old man more than six feet tall,
wearing gray cashmere waistcoat
and trousers and black doeskin cut
taway coat, came into The World
Office last night and said he had some
news of interest for the human race.
He bore in one hand white paper
collar box, which he carried as gently
as though it contained stick of
dynamite. Looking earnestly at the
reporter through his gold rimmed
spectacles he lifted the lid from the
box and proudly exhibited the con-
tents-common green grass.
"See me eat it," he said, as he
gravely took bunch and stuffed it
into his mouth. Chewing the grass
slowly, with evident delight, smiling
all the while as well as he could with
his mouth 80 full, the old man said
81 am Frank r. Taylor, seventy
two years of age, and 1 live at Fifty

ing on grass, which / gather daily in

pounds to 160 pounds. Then I be-
gan to eat green grass. In FIVE weeks

So saying, the old man unlimbered
his long arms and began to beat his
chest and stomach with all his might.
The noise of his blows was like the
drubbing OF a drum.
"Don't hurt me Bit" he gasped.
"Before / took to grass my stomach
was go tender / couldn't touch it
without causing I ain"
"I intend to live this winter on
clover" continued Mr.. Taylor, put
ting another bunch of grass in his
mouth. He chewed it for time,
slowly and solemnly. 81 have just
ordered from my farm at Brentwood,
New Hampshire, 200 pounds of red
and white clover upon which I pur-
pose to subsist until spring.

that once in while / nibble a. crust

So saying, Mr.. Taylor politely
passed out, carrying away a few
blades of grass in his neat little col
lar-box.--New York World, Septem-

ixasion coming down 20 Thorn from q
thousand years OF Anglo Saxon
manhood. We used our brains and
managed TO liberate ourselvea from q
condition that was hopeless and un-
endurable. We have re-established
law and order as far as practicable
and are endeavoring to preserve our
civilization. The negroes have the
memory of eight S;tss;s years cars e es l;eeases
and, inspired by the actions and ut
terances of President Roosevelt, they
have given evidence only too plainly
of hope and belief that there time
Twill come again. Race autagonism
and hatred grow apace.
The whites are resolved to govern
at whatever cost because experience
has shown that any other course
means ruin. The criminal class among
the negroes increases at fearful rate
and unless the Northern people can
bemade to understand that negro
equality is something that will not be
tolerated and that no power in the
world can force it upon us, a race
war Is inevitable, with the result that
the negroes will be exterminated.
History is full of instances where
white men have governed white men
ruthlessly. There are object lessons
in plenty throughout the world to-.
day of the fact that the races are not
equal, cannot be made 80 either by
law or constitution, and that the
white man governs wherever he is in
contact with any of the colored
races. Sentimental ideas and feel.
ings will not settle this question. The
white people of the South are on top
and intend to stay there. White men
of the North would do likewise un-
der similar circumstances Inter-
meddling with our local conditions,
such as is threatened by the Repub-
lican party, only aggraVates the al
ready strained relations between the
races, and while there may be a bad
state of affairs existing, by the acts
of violence by the blacks against
the whites, and the whites against
the blacks in retaliation, it is
useless to say that the Re-
public is in danger thereby. The
Northern people can help us if they
will, by sympathy and cooperation,
but they have got to unlearn many of
the ideas which have come to them
in the last forty years, and most of
all they must realize that the negroes
will be put down and held down with
bloody hand regardless of conse-
quences.
If the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments were repealed and the
idea that an educated negro is fit to
SSoFOfh Wui1O ulSu dDduuOlSQ, Gle
negroes would soon cease to provoke
the superior race and such acts of
blood and violence as the Statesboro
tragedy would be things of the past.
With the Republican party standing
for equality and demanding the pun
ishment of Southern whites because
they do not submit to negro domina-
tion, the antagonism of the races will
grow, and such deeds as that at
Statesboro will be more frequent
than ever.
We are between the devil and the
deep sea, but will protect our women
and we will stand by the principles
and form of government of our
fathers. B. r.. Tillman.

a REAL CURE FOR

M--A-I-I.A--R,
1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Ouinine,
Iron, ETC., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the. germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from all disease breeding mi-
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes 1t rich and healthy,
RYDALES TONIC is blood

destroyer. Try it, It will not disap-

The Cost Of Cotton.

Farmers and cotton experts do not
know what the cost of producing
cotton is. The quality of the land,
the seasons and the cost of labor are
the importantsacto of the problem.
A farmer might make cotton one
year at cost of 5 cents a pound
and the next year it will cost Z cents.
To get at the real cost She rent of
land should be counted in with other
expenses. Very little cotton is made
on that plan. The ordinary farmer
takes no account Of rent. .Sand labor
of himself and children. The way
to get at the cost of producing a
pound of cotton is to count the cost
of every thing. Take 60 acres Sas a
two-horse farm. One hand would
have to be hired the year round. A
second hand would be necessary five
months. The account would stand
this way:
Rent of 60 acres at S3.. $50
1 hand IL months 1B0
hand s months. go
Hoeing Go acres. 90
100 bushels planting seed. 80
Fertilizer So an acre. 18O
Use and feed of Q mules 175
Use of implements. 25
Picking $4,000 pounds. ............... 1872
Ginning ~ bales. .......... ..... 4S
Total cost. ................ ..$1, ,f3O
!, The yield in this case is esti-
mated at 800 pounds to the acre.
The cost will be Z cents pound. Tf
the yield should go above 500 pounds
then the cost per pound would be
less. Counting the seed at $15 ton
and the cotton at 10 cents the net
gain would be 1920, or $12 an acre. If
the land should make only 500 pounds
seed cotton to the acre the cost
would be a fraction over 10 cents
and ten tons of seed would be the
only net profit. Carolina Spartan.
