He Denounced Roosevelt.

AT the conclusion of the State
campaign meeting, held in the Court
House in Greenville last week, Con-
gressman johnson was called on for
a speech, and gave brief outline of
the coming campaign. His remarks
on Roosevelt, whom he spoke of as
an uncertain spectacular accident,
were received with great applause.
He said he hoped every Democrat
would turn out and vote at the cleo
tion this fall, not because there was
any danger of South Carolina not
going for Parker, but because he
wanted as large majority az possi-
BILE to show the States disapproval
of Roosevelt.
"President Roosevelt is danger
Gus enemy to the South" said Mr..
johnson. "IIe is beyond the con-
troll of the conservative men of his
party, and though he is holding him
self under some restraint just on IL @
eve of an election, there is no tellir q
what he would do if again placed n
the executive chair. He is pushing
the Crumpacker bill to reduce the
South's representation in Congress,
against the wishes of the leading
men of his party, and if he succeeds
in being elected, he will use the pie
counter to carry out his designs
against this great section of the
country"
Congressman Johnson then touched
on the Panama canal matter, saving
it was nothing but big steal in
which the Republic of Columbia had
been robbed of its territory.
In closing Mr.. johnson thanked
the people for sending him back to
Congress- without opposition, saying
that he would continue to work az
hard in the future as he had done in
the past.

Killed at a Negro Picnic.

Chester, July 21.-Again the
deadly pistol has done its work and
Chester county suffers the shame of
another homicide. In negro riot at
Edgemoor Colored Method st Church
Saturday evening, Jim Dixon was
shot and instantly killed, three shots
taking effect. The negroes from the
neighborhood had gathered for a
picnic, when Dixon appeared and
precipitated general riott. He is
said to have been bully and no.
torious character, and began brand
ishing his pistol and making threats
in an effort to frighten and scatter
the crowd. Robert McCorkle, who
had charge of the picnic, endeavored
to quiet Dixon, but his efforts at
reconciliation only angered him the
more and he drew his pistol and be-
gan firing at McCorkle and his as
sistants. lie soon saw the odds were
against him, and began retreating,
when he was fired upon by Robert,
Mac McCoY1le and Ed Walls with
deadly effel 1T is not positively
known which of the three fired the
fatal shot, but the ball that passed
through his lungs, producing death,
was a 38. calibre, and it seems Walls
was the only one firing pistol of
that size. Robert McCorkle is in
Jail. Walls and Mac McCorkle made
their escape and there is no clue as to
their whereabouts.

Mrs. Maybrick Free.

Truro, Cornwall, England, July
22.-Mrs. Florence Maybrick was
liberated from the detention home at
Truro, Cornwall, England, to-day
and Immediately left for France.
Mrs. Maybrick's life in Aylesbury
frr most of the fifteen years OF
her incarceration was uneventful and
she was treated as any ordinary con-
vlct. Two months after the death
OF Queen Victoria, who believed
firmly in the guilt of the American,
she was transferred to an infirmary
as an attendant and orders were
given that she should have the best
food to build her up in expectation
OF her ultimate release. This might
have taken place sooner but for the
unexplained antipathy towards her
by the late Duke of Cambridge, who
used his influence to keep her in
prison. Last March she was removed
to Catholic institution in the south
of England, where she was given a
chance to get used to the outside
world before her release. Her health
has been good ever since she entered
prison.
Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flo
renee Elizabeth Chandler, member
of well known and prosperous
Southern family, was married July
II, 1881, in st. James church, Pic
cadilly, to James Maybrick, of Liv-
erpool. She was then 18 years old.
Her husband was over forty years of
age. In the spring of 1889 Mr.. May
brick became ill and in few days he
died. His brothers investigated his
death and charged Mrs. Maybrick
with the murder of her husband A
long trial followed and number of
doctors swore that the deceased died
of arsenical poisoning. The defense
proved that for twenty years Mr..
Maybrick had been confirmed user
of arsenic and that he daily took
doses large enough to have killed a
dozen ordinary men. Mrs. May.
brick was eventually sentenced tv
death by the Judge, Sir Fitziames
Stephen, who spoke for two days in
charging the jury. He said it was
impossible to find her not guilty in
the face of the medical evidence.
The Judge died some time later in a
mad house.

Tornado in Georgia.

Americus, Ga, July 20.-A cyclone
struck the Sumter county poor farm,
near Americus, this afternoon, doing
much property damage, but resulting
in no loss of life. A terrific hail
storm followed in the wake of the
cyclone, running crops of corn and
cotton. On the l.. ID. Law farm, ad-
joining the poor house, every out
building was destroyed. The dwell
ing was shaken from its foundations,
the terrified inmates escaping the
falling timbers. One large tree was
carried bodily a half-mile by the
cyclone.

$40, 900, 900 for Boosting Cotton.

New York, July 20.-Instead of
Daniel j. Sully being made the presi.
dent of the new company known as
the Southern Cotton Corporation,
with capital of $2O,OO0,OOO, to i'm
prove cotton culture and method of
marketing the staple, that post will
be occupied by Col. S. F. B. Morse,
who was a partner in the firm of
Daniel j. Sully 81 Co.
The articles of incorporation of
this company were filed at Trenton
to-day. 1t will have capital of
$40, 100000, of which $5,00O,O00 will
be preferred and $15,000,000 common
stock. The par value of the pre-
ferred is 500 share, but the par
value of the common, which will be
taken largely in the South, will be
only $40 per share.
The decision to place Col. Morse
in this position was made by the
financial hackers of the concern be-
cause of the fact that as the head of
the traffic department of the South
ern Pacific railroad, stationed in
New Orleans, he was very prominent
in the educational campaign which
resulted in the diversifying of the
Southern crops.
The company controls the Whit
man square bale press, which is an
improved mechanism for baling and
ginning cotton. 1t will compress as
thoroughly as the present round bale,
but will not change the shape, and
therefore will not meet with such
opposition as was encountered by
those who introduced the round bal
ing process. Because of the less
likelihood of fire, this new bale has
already been called the "under.
writer's bale"
A comprehensive warehouse sys-
tenn will also be established, which
will enable growers to hold their
cotton, if they SO desire, instead of
selling in the glutted market in the
early season. The board of directors
will be announced in a few days.
The principal Office of the company
Will be in this city, with branches in
various Southern cities.
CHARTERED IN NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, N. j., July 2O.-The
Southern Cotton Corporation, capital
$2O,OO0,OOO, was incorporated here
this afternoon to grow and deal in
cotton, cotton seeds and their pro.
ducts. The capital stock invested is
divided into $4,000 shares of pre-.
ferred stock of 500 each, with 6 per
cent cumulative dividend and 750,-
600 shares of COMMON stock at the
par value of $40 dollars each. The
incorporators are Thomas Grasty, of
baltimore Samuel Morse, of New
York, and John I. Treacy, of Jersey
City.
1t is said here, though not con
firmed, that this is reorganization
of the Sully interests.

Solicitor Bogss's Great Work.

Solicitor Julius E. Boggs spent
yesterday i'll the city, returning to his
home in Pickens county last evening.
When asked about the trial and con
vlction of the negro, Henry Jones,
charged with numbering Constable
Columbus Jones, near Easley, on
July 7, Mr.. Boggs said he felt a
sense of relief now that the work
was over, to the entire satisfaction of
the best people of Pickens county.
There were at least 1000 people
present at the trial-the largest
crowd he has ever seen at Pickens
court house, but there was not the
slightest sign of disorder. He had
directed that the dispensary be closed
before and during the trial, and there
was no whiskey to be got in the
county.
With the sentencing of Jones,
there are now six men in the Eighth
Judicial Circuit awaiting death by
hanging, except for the possible in
tervention of the Governor or the
Supreme Court. At the last term of
the Court of General Sessions in this
city, Solicitor Boggs secured the
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree of four negroes. The two
charged with the Arnold killing,
however, were given new trial by
Judge Townsend, while Byrd and
Coiswell, convicted of killing Magis-
trate Cox, have appealed to the Su-
preme Court.
In Walhalla, Hoyt Hayes, a white
man, convicted of killing his wife,
awaits death, the higher court having
refused to give him another chance,
and at Pickens, Jones is to be execu-
ted August 26. 1t is not thought
that an appeal will be taken in his
case.
This is remarkable record, and
one which leaves no doubt of the
tearlessness and ability with which
solicitor Boggs discharges the duties
OF his office. - ,Greenville News,

Magistrate 7. j. Lyon Stays lis son.ln.Law.

Greenwood, July 20.-Ed Stevens,
a young white farmer of the Long
mire's section of this county, was
shot and instantly killed by his
father-in-law, II. j. Lyon, yesterday
afternoon, The killing occurred in
front of Steveus's house, and was the
result of second attack made upon
Lyon during the day. Lyon came to
Greenwood and surrendered to the
Sheriff last night.
Lyon, when interviewed, said that
he had nothing to say now in regard
to the unfortunate affair; that he
regretted it, "Oh, so much" With
choking voice and tears in his eyes,
he said 81 always treated him as my
own son. He married the choicest
of my family"
From all that can be gathered, it
seems that there has been bad feel
ing between Bill Stevens, father of
the dead man, the boy himself and
Lyon for some time. Lyon is, and
has been, the magistrate in that sec.
ton. Several years ago he had a
case before him between Bill Stevens
and negro. He, after hearing the
case, decided that justice was on the
negro's side. This is said by many
in that neighborhood to have been
the start of long series of unfortu-
nate affairs between the two families
which has finally resulted in the
death of young Stevens.
Last year petition was circulated,
it is said, by the two Stevens, asking
for the removal of Mr.. Lyon as mag
istrate on the ground of incompe-
tency and drunkenness, etc. The
petition didknot succeed. Mr.. Lyon
was not removed. This was the
condition of, affairs when yesterday
a party of men met at Brooks spring
to have fish fry. Chief Mcmillan,
who was present at this fish fry, says
that while he did not see the actual
difficulty between Mr.. Lyon and
young Stevens, it was said that it
began this way: Mr.. Lyon and four
or five others were cleaning fish,
when young Stevens came up, Mr..
Lyon said "Get out your knife, Ed,
and help clean some fish," Stevens
made some reply and Mr.. Lyon re-
piled to that and then Stevens struck
him over the head twice with stick.
There was no further difficulty, as
friends soon separated them. After
dinner several men, including f. j.
Rankin, former State constable,
Mcmillan and others went to young
Stevens and told him that he ought
to apologize to Lyon, that he was in
the wrong and that to apologize
would be the brave thing to do. He
replied that he could not see it that
way. Mr.. Lyon started home in a
buggy with J. M. Mccain. He did
not have pistol, but at point some
distance up the road some one ad-
vised him to take pistol, which he
did. He put the pistol in the foot
of his buggy. When he arrived in
front of Stevens's house he met
Stevens and Gary Dorm in buggy
meeting him. AS soon as the two
buggies were opposite Stevens
jumped out and struck Lyon over
the head with the butt end of his
buggy whip. The two men clinched
and it was while they were on the
ground that the fatal shot WAS fired
1t entered Stevens's heart and he
died instantly. Mr.. Lyon gave his
pistol up to his daughter, Mrs.
Stevens. Soon after he went home
and started for Greenwood with Nc
MILAN.
