Stabbed to Death by Negro Tenant.

Sumter, May 12.-Colclaugh Stokes,
negro, cut and stabbed Capt. David f.
Wells, of Tindall, more than twenty
times to-day about l o'clock. Captain
Wells died from his wounds.
The negro used dull, hawk-bill, one
bladed barlow knife. The first cut be-
gan at the right temple and went down
to the throat. The next began on the
left side Of the throat and went around
nearly to the right ear, severing the gut
tural and jugular vein; then down the
scalp of tho head from the back. Two
bad slashes were made ON the left hand.
The victim fell on his face and the ne
gro jumped on the dying mans back and
plunged the knife more than three times
into his back, six times in space no
larger than a Inan's hand into his lungs,
at the same time severing three ribs
from the back bone.
The negro and his wife occupied one
half of Capt. Wells dwelling, it being a
double pen house, divided by hall way.
This is where the fight began. Stokes,
it is said, had bad reputation. He was
under indictment for disposing of
properly unuer nen, ana capt. WellS
went on his bond and took him into his
employ. The negro's wife kept house
and cooked for Capt. Wells.
The dispute arose about some domestic
trouble and, it is said, Capt. Wells
threatened to withdraw his bond and
turn the negro over to the county. Then
the fight began. The negro is in Jail.
Capt. Wells was about 45 years of age
and unmarried. He was very thrifty

The Old Newspaper.

My attention was arrested by your
publication this morning of an article
from the Keowee Courier signed z. A. II.
Doubtless this is Col. Robert A. Thomp-
son, who in his youth was printer for
the Pendleton Messenger. Afterwards
he was associated with the Keowee Cou-
rier, and was an officer during the war
between the States, in the second South
Carolina Rifles, led by the brave and gal
liant Col. Jno. V. Moore, killed in Virginia.
Col. Thompson, after the war. was Com
missioner in equity for the then
Pickens District. However, will some
of our periodicals. OF us know through
their lawyer contributors the distinction
between notification and secession? John
G. Calhoun and DR.. F. w. Symmes were
nullifiers and foresaw the inevitable
conflict between the States, were per-
sonal and political friends, dying before
the war. Read Webster's eulogy on Cal

Russian Mobs Assault Jewesses.

st. Petersburg, May 15.-The Novosti
(the Jewish organ) claims to have infor-
nation showing that the massacre of
Jews at Zhitomir was regularly organized,
while The Syn Otetchestva says Jewesses
were assaulted during the attacks made
on the Israelites at Gostynn. The gov
ernment papers are not permitted to
print details of the recent attacks on
Jews. At the ministry of the interior
no detailed report OF the rioting at Zhit-
omir has been received. Troops have
been brought to Zhitomir from Vassilki
and notice has been given that if any fur
ther attempt is made to molest the Jews
the soldiers would fire on those causing
the disturbances.

Uncaged Lion Excites Crowd.

Pandemonium reigned at the first per-
formance of the shows for the Beavers
Carnival in Macon, Ca, last week, when
a lion escaped from cage while crowd
of spectators were listening to the mana
gers invitation to enter and take a look
at the animal. The door was open, and
while the manager stood with his back
to the lion, he walked out, as if to make
minute examination of the crowd of curl
GUS visitors. This was a signal for es-
cape. No time was lost, and those near
est the ropes and the tent lines made a
dash. Others followed, and as the seem
ingly unexcited animal coolly walked out
among them they piled over each other
in an effort to get out of reach. The
manager secured quick assistance and
proceeded to use the brands on the lion.
Several show men surrounded him with
torches and drove him back into the
cage. The animal was not injured nor
was any person.

Strange Case OF Prenatal Influence. }.

most remarkable birth took place in
Center, Ga, last week. At the time a
boy child was born, in every way perfect
and without blemish, except as to the
top of its head. From the top of the
child's head there extended protuber-
ance probably an inch in diameter and
several inches long, hanging down over
tho child's forehead and being covered
with hair. The protuberance took the
exact form of the trunk of an elephant
This phenomenon is explained on the
theory OF prenatal influence, the mother
having been in Atlanta several months
since and while there having visited
Grant Park. She was playing with the
elephant in the park and the elephant
threw his trunk over her head, frighten-
ing heI very much at tho time. The at
tending physician says the growth is di-
rectly connected with the brain, and that
the child will probably die.

Flee from Panama.

Now York, May l3.-The steamer Alli-
anco is due here in few days from Pana-
ma crowded with refugees from the 18TH
mus, from whence they have fled in a
panic because of yellow fever. The refu-
gees are mostly employees of tho 18TH
mian commission. Aboard the Alliance
is General Davis, who was also i'll when
he left Panama, and it is doubtful if he
survives the voyage. The body of Au-
ditor West, who died of yellow fever, is
also on board. The flight is because of
discomfort with the management of af-
fairs by the United States Government,
and the mismanagement of the old canal
commission, especially as to health regu-
lations. Many employees left the coun-
try without even waiting to be paid.

White Citizens We're Acquitted.

Charleston, May 12.--After being out
fifteen minutes, the jury at Orangeburg.
sworn to try the case against four white
citizens who wero charged with the mur-
der of Keitt Bookhart, colored, at Eutaw-
vile, brought in a verdict of not guilty
to-day. The defense this morning put
up witnesses to prove that Edwards, the
principal witness for the State, was at
Penny Martins house and was too drunk
on the night of the killing to leave. The
arguments were exhaustive. The de-
fensc made much of the fact that de-
tective had been employed to work up
evidence against the accused, and that
fact was impressed upon the minds of
the jury.
The trial has attracted unusual interest
and while the evidence in places was
strong it did not convince tho jury be-
yond reasonable doubt that the prison
ers had lynched Bookhart. Many wit
nesses were put on the stand to prove an
alibi for the defendants, their wives being
sworn in their behalf. Edwards made a
strong witness for tho prosecution and
on the cross examination the attorneys
failed to shake him. The jury, however,
was of one mind and it's verdict was rem
dered more quickly than the solicitor
had expected. The friends of the defen-
dants are naturally jubilant.
The detective was not employed by
Gov. Hayward until all other agencies of
tho law had failed to appreheud the
guilty.

Rural Mall Routes are Costly.

The net loss to the government of
operating the rural mail routes of the
United States in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905, will be not less than SO $780,
0S0, and probably several millions in ex-
cess of that amount. The minimum esti-
mate of loss is obtained after allowing to
the credit of the rural service every cent
of revenue derived from mail sent by
patrons of the routes and from mail re-
ceived by them, but as matter of fact,
only part of these receipts are due to
the establishment OF rural service.
IL is impossible to tell what proportion
of the rural mail business should be
credited to the establishment of rural
service, but it is estimated by competent
authorities that the real loss Tor the fiscal
year will be nearer S12,OOO,OOO than S.
s6O,OsO.
The law raising the salaries of rural
carriers is in effect in the present fiscal
year. 1t increases the cost of the service
to $5S per month for each route, exclu-
sive of the expenses of the field inspec-
tion service. 1t is the cost of rural mail
facilities that prevents the financial

"Rule q No superintendent of any in
