ENQUIRER to the fact that the resi-

ktllO "HSlcdS we icSO6liiNS ehS A"i

ance Of such roads,.
Therefore be it resolved, that we
memorable the honorable assembly Of

formulate such policy and to adopt
such laws of county taxation as might
in their discretion constitute the most
expedient system applicable to sne con-
ditions Of this state, and furthermore
to adopt such measures as will insure
equitable national aid"

MOB MURDERERs.
Governor Hayward; Wants tho Power
to Punish Them.

Governor Hayward Wants tho Power
to Punish Them.
Governor Hayward on Wednesday
sent the following special message to
the general. assembly: -.. "
In my annual message to your hon.
orable body reference was made to
lawlessness In our state. the frequent
occurrence of lynchings being dealt
with particularly. The necessity Of re-
spect being paid to the law by civilized
communities was urged in this connec-
ton. You, the lawmakers, had not
been assembled here week when an
other evidence of this lawless spirit
was given in the lynching at Reeves
vile.
The governor is popularity credited
with the power to prevent or punish
these outrages against the state. In
reality he Is practically powerless
When notified he may sometimes frus-
trate the mob by the employment OF
troops, but when the crime has beer
committed his hands are practically
tied. The meagre rewards he has been
empowered to offer out Of his contin-
gent fund have proven Intellectual, md
this Is as far as he Is permitted to go
In the meantime the spirit Of lawless-
ness is unchecked. Any band Of law
less men may feel secure in taking the
life of a fellow being on almost any
pretext. This deplorable condition
ought to be remedied. To compel
greater respect, the proper respect, fol
the majesty Of the lawI recommend ths
enactment of special legislation in ref
erence to lynching, that the great re-
sponsibility of officials directly charg-
ed with enforcing the law be brought
home to them, and that more effectua
measures be taken for the apprehen-
sion Of persons who take the law into
their own hands,.
In lieu of some such legislation, !
suggest that the governor be provided
with an adequate fund for the purpose
Of suppressing lynching-a fund tha
may be used in offering suitable re.
wards or in obtaining evidence against
lynchers in such manner as may be
deemed best. @3rt
I sincerely regret the necessity fol
this and am not desirous Of additiona
responsibilities, bat L will mot shiri
any duty that the general assembly
may see fit to impose for the welfare
and good name of South Carolina.

FRIDAY, JANUARY %, 1904.

II the general assembly is as much
in earnest about the suppression OF
mob murder as is Governor Hayward,
It will provide him the necessary mon
ey, and see to it that he has sufficient
force of men within easy call. To ad-
NIT the impossibility Of suppressing
mob murder is to admit that popular
government Is a contemplate farce.

ratification Of the Panama treaty; but

Mississippi, devoted a considerable
portion of his inaugural address last
Tuesday to a discussion Of the negro
question. "As race" the governor
said, "the negro is deteriorating NOR
ally every day. Time has demonstrated
that he is more criminal as free man
than as a slave, and that he IS in
creasing in criminality with frightful
rapidity, being one-third more crimi =
nal in 1890 than in 1880. These start
ling facts revealed by the census show
that those who can read and write are
more criminal than the illiterates,
which is true of no other element of
our population. I am advised that
the minimum illiteracy is found in New
England where it is 21.7 per cent-the
maximum is found in the black belt

SHOOT AT FORT Riley.
Kansas Team Not Making as High
Scores as Some Others.

Fort Riley, Kas., Aug. 23.-The first
days firing in the team contests of the
national match was completed about
$50 Monday afternoon with the army
infantry team in the lead. The day
was ideal in every respect The heavy
shower of the preceding day cleared
the atmosphere and a northeast wind
made it remarkably cool. The wind
was variable, from one to nine miles
an hour, but perfect for good shoot
ing. Firing commenced at 1:45 with
New York credit with firing first. The
DAYS program, firing at four ranges,
was the longest of the match, so shoot
ing was only discontinued at noon
long enough for all to be served with
a light lunch, which was served at
the firing points
Major General John c. Bates, COM
manding the northern division, who
arrived in the afternoon, went direct
ly to the range and remained until
the firing was completed He visited
every team and inspected their scores
The shooting was at 200 and 500
yards, slow fire and 200 and 500 yards
rapid fire. The following is the
standing of the teams representing the
different states with their scores of
possible 2,400:
Army infantry team, ], ,9S7: district
of Columbia, 1851; New York, 1,946:
marine corps, 1924; navy, 1901; New
Jersey, 1855; army cavalry team, l.
$50; Pennsylvania, 1873; Massachu-
setts. 1865; Rhode. Island, 1876;
Washington, 1,775; Connecticut, 1,773;
Georgia. i, 1857; Iowa. /, ,762: Maryland.
1,756; Florida, 1,722; Michigan. 1874;
Kansas. 1,516; Ala baTIa, 1,175.
Today's firing will be at 500 and L..
900 yards slow fire.
An idea of the extent of the shoot
is given in the fact that 12 900 rounds
of ammunition were expended by the
19 teams on the first day. This am
munition is newly made for the pur-
pose of this shoot and Captain J.

secret of her presence on board and
appeared frequently about the decks
and saloon, few were aware of her
identity. She was accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel v Hayden. Mr..
Hayden is her attorney.
Mrs. Maybrick refused to be inter-
viewed. but gave out the following
statement:

TRAFFIC TIED UP.
Santa Fe Main Line Blocked by Con-
tinued WashoutS in Arizona.

Ashfork, Arizona, Aug. 23.-Traffic on
the main line of the Santa Fe railroad
is again completely tied up. A severe
washout occurred Monday afternoon
near Peach Springs, and all trains are
being held at that point. The heavy
rains and cloud burst of last week
washed out a large portion of the road
bed in the vicinity of Kingman and at
other points near there and the down
pour yesterday afternoon evidently
wrecked the temporary repairs.
Another severe washout has occurred
at Yucca, a small station near Salig-
week carried away a large bridge and
the stone foundation weighing over 600
tons. Train No. 2 from Los Angeles
to Chicago managed to get over the
temporary structure Monday afternoon
but now it is reported that great vol
ume of water is washing over the
tracks. The Santa Fe officials who are
now at Ashfork, have ordered a tieup
on westbound passenger trains. Nos.

ed solely of delegates to the knights

with soldiers from Columbus, O., EN-
route to the Philippines. 1t was thought
possible that the Santa FTe trains could
be switched over to the Southern Pa
cific track and sent to California by
way of Phoenix, but reports were
ceived here late last night that the
Southern Pacific is experiencing even
greater trouble. WaShoutS have occurr-
ed in Arizona on the Southern Pacific
and it will perhaps be two days before
trains can be moved on that line.
