INDUSTRIAL HOME
FOR NEGRO YOUTHS
jeff ID. Pitts Prime Mover
i'm Plan.
A HOME PURCHASED.
VIII be Modelled After Two of the Lead
Ing Negro Industrial Schools
OF the South.

jeff ID. Pitts of Maddens is interest
ing himself and his friends in a plan
looking to the establishment Of home
and industrial school for colo cd boys
and girls.
The site for the propos ed home and
school is 400 acre tract, located abon,
q mile from Maddens and IS known as
the Henry place. This tract has boon
bought by Pitts from Col. Shaw at SO
an acre. There are one or two settle
ments and q shree horse farm open on
the place.,
n Pitts has had this scheme in view
several months and during this time
hs has had considerable correspond
ence with Booker Washington OF the
Tuscsgee School and College and
Richard Carroll of the Industrial
Home for negro youths in Richand
county, near Columbia. concerning the
building of such an institution in Lau-
rens.
Both of these colored leaders have
given Pitts valuable Information and
much encouragement. 1t is the pur-
pose to model the new home and school
after the plan of Washington's and
Carrolls institutions.
A capital OF something like $4,000
Will be required to make some needed
Improvements, equip the farm and TO
establish some small industries, such
as brick yards, wood shops, etc.
Pitts owns land, farms successfully
and is worthy and responsible negro.
He has enlisted the moral and finan-
cial susport of numerous white citizens
as we'll as that OF his race who are de-
sirous of seeing their boys and girls
trained TO work and prepared for lives
of usefulness.
The home and school will of course
be terdenominational but thu relig-
ious and moral welfare of the institu-
tion will not be ne elected.
Application will be made 10 the Sec
retary of State for commission to or
ganizo snd secure charter for the
Company just as soon as the details OF
some business matters have been ar
ranged

THREE MENTAL
ANGUISH SUITS.
Western Union Telegraph
Company, Defendant.
SPECIAL TERM ENDED.
Jury Cases Occupied the Common Pleas
Court, Which Was In Session
Two Weeks.

The special term OF Common Pleas
Court which was called Move Der 2lst,
with the Hon. Ellis G. Graydon, Of
Greenwood, as Special Judge, presid-
ing, was adjourned late Saturday af.
ternoon, having been in session two
weeks and Judge Graydon and Steuog.
rapher Tadiock, OF Columbia, returned
home.
During thu last four days the Court
was engaged N hearing three separate
suits against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, which were brought
under the mental anguish law of the
State.
The Plaintiff in the first cass heard
is Mr.. Eugene Langston of this city.
Damages to the extent OF 1000 were
sued for, because of the alleged failure
cf the Defendant Company to trans
nit aud deliver promptly a Telegram
sent by Mr.. Langston to his mother,
Mis-. A. A. Langston at Johnston, con-
veying the news of the death of the
Plaintiffs wife the night before.
The telegram was not received by
Mrs. Lsngston in time for her t1 come
to Laurens for the funeral aud burial of
her son's wife. AT that time the Plain
tiff was a comparative stranger here
and In consequence of the failure Of his
mother to reach him, he was deprived
of the natural sympathy and consola-
ton which only a mothers love could
have brought to him during this try
lug ordeal.
The case was hard-fought through
out and its progress was closely fol-
lowed by many interested spectators.
The jury charged with the trial of the
cause failed to agree after delberating
several hours aud the Court ordered
a mistrial

tiff in the next case given hearing.
AS in the Langston case the non.de-
livery of a death message sent from the
Laurens Office to Asheville was the
cause of action in which 1900 dam
ages were C aimed. A verdict for $25
was returned for the Plaintiff.
The third and last case of like
character was brought by Clarence
Tinsley, youny negro, who until re.
Gently resided at Lanford. Some
months ago his baby died and he de.
termined to take its remains to Mount
vile for burial. AT $50 q. m, March
7th last, he had the Western Union
Agent at EnOree to write telegram
addressed to party at Mountville,
asking him to meet the funeral party at
Cole Point shortly after two o'clock
that day.
On account of the condition of the
wires the message was not sent from
Enoree until one o'clock and it was sew
eral hours after before the addressed
received the dispatch.
Tinsley and his wife, accompanying
the corp.e of their infant, arrived at
Cole Point in due time. Here they had
to wait until nearly sundown before a
wagon came from Mountville for them.
They had intcndei to bury the child
that afternoon, but rs it was night
when Mountvilie was reached and no
preparation had been made for the
burial it was necessary to postpone the
lnterment until the next day.
A verdict was found in favor of the
Telegraph Company A new trial,
however, was granted and the case
Will come up again.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
in DARLINGTON.
Wife and BrOther-in-LaW
Killed 10y James.
AND POSSE KILLS HIM.
Desperate Man Barricaded In His House
Fought Sheriff's Posse Eight Hours
Before Being Killed.

Fought Sheriff's Posse Eight Hours
Before Being Killed.
Near Hartsville, Darlington
county, last Friday night, Madi-
son James, farmer fifty years
old, shot and killed his wife,
murdered his brother-in-law, Mr..
Sid Kelly, about 9 o'clock Satur-
day morning and was himself
killed by posse, headed by the
sheriff, at q o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
Two years ago James was sent
to the asylum and had been liber-
ated only about seven weeks.
1t is not known what led to
the killing of his wife, except
that he had threatened to murder
his mother-in-law the day before.
His wife was shot to death
early in the night and the rest of
the family, his two half grown
children and his wife's mother,
fled at once.
Sid Kelley, brother of the dead
woman, went Immediately to the
James house and endeavored in
every possible way to get James
to come out and give up.
James refused and warned Kel-
ly that he would kill the first
man that attempted to come in.
Kelly stayed about the house all
night and early Saturday morn
ing he sent word to his friends
at Hartsville to come out and adj
wise with him.
Again he approached the house
and tried to induce James TO come
out. He succeeded i'll getting
the man to hand him out ten
dollar bill borrowed from Mr..
Kelley Friday. Kelley's idea
was to grab his hand when he
presented the money, but he
failed to do this. Finally Kelley
told James he was coming i'll
anyhow. He had gun across
his shoulders and was standing
on box at the window. Just as
he turned to step off the box
James shot him through the neck,
killing him instantly.
Sheriff Scarborough and posse
surrounded the house. The sher-
iff and others tried to induce
the desperate man to surrender
but he would listen to no prom
ises or inducements whatever
and shot at everyone getting i'll
his range. Three young men
were wounded and the Sheriff
narrowly escaped being shot.
The officer and his men rea-
lized that they would have to re-
sort to desperate means to get
their man, The battle opened
and was waged for nearly eight
hours. The whole end of the
house i'll which James was bar
ricaded was shot to pieces by the
800 men composing the posse
and James was wounded several
times before he was killed.
Many say that James was not
crazy when he murdered his wife,
but was angry with Kelly for
having him sent to the asylum.
