NEGRO IS SHOT TO
DEATH AT DOOR,
Fearful Crime is Committed
Near Here.
WAS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD
Lise Lewis Kills Fend jackson on
the Ryiander Place Monday-offi-
GERS Pursue and Finally Capture the
Desperate.

Enrsged because his wife had left
him after he had beaten her fearfully,
LIge Lewis. black desperate and ex-
convict, followed her to The home Of
Fend Jackson, where she sought pro-
lection, pushed open the door and shot
out Jackso - heart.
The terrible crime was committed at
dawn Monday morning on the Rylan-
der plantation.
Deputy Sheriff Gatewood, aided by
Constable Brown, Messrs. Rylander.
Lightfoot, Statham and others, pur,
sued Jackson, caught him and landed
him in Jail yesterday.
The murder appears to be one of the
most atrocious ever committed here.
The story is concisely told above
Maddened because his wife left him
Sunday night, after he had beaten her.
Lewis secured his gun and went to the
house where his wife had sought pro-
lection from Jackson and his family,
spending the night there.
Lewis waited for daylight to wreak
vengeance upon his wife, and likewise
upon Jackson.
Fend~Jackson bears an excellent rem.
uta'ion, and when the bell tapped al
dawn yesterday for the plant alton hands
to 60 to work he opened his front door,
only to receive the contents of Lewis
gun at close range. Jackson fell d ead
with his heart shot to pieces.
Lewis Immediately took to the wsmps
after telling the other negroes that he
had three other persons on his dead
list to settle with.
When the posse came in sight of him
Lewis plunged into large pond and
swaa for the other side, gun in hand.
Without hesitation Deputy Gatewood
plunged right in and SWAN after him.
while the others, on horseback, sur
rounded the pond.
Through the pond, across a field and
into another pond the black desperate
swiftly ran.
Other members of the posse awaite d
him on the banks of the second pond
and eff cited his capture. He was quick
ly handcuffed and brought to Amer
Gus. Lewis laughs at his fiendish deed
as though he bad killed dog, showing
no remorse at all.
He is an ex-convict and bad charac.
ter. jackson was hard working ne
gro, and no other in Sumter county
bore better character.

POOL PLAYING a MlsDEMEANoR
Supreme Court Renders Decision of
Interest,

Interest.
Americus pool players, and there are
not few handlers of the cue here, are
exercised over the decision of the SUI
preme court, just rendered, which
makes it a misdemeanor to play for
cost of the game, as is done generally,
the loser paying for the game.
The decision, rendered In case from
Bsrtow county, has created stir
throughout the state.
The coutt, in passing on the case,
calls attention TO the fact that the point
is one upon which it has never passed
before. In the headnote to the decision
the court fays:
"Playing pool under agreement among
players thaS..the one losing the game
shall pay for use of the table, is betting
at pool table within the meaning Of
the penal code, section 401, providing
thai If any person shall bet at any
pool table he shall be guilty of q
misdemesnor.
"Phe fact that the state imposes 6
specific tax on the keeper of pool ia
BILE, does not effect the question.
The supreme court holds that the
money paid by the loser for the use O.
the table was money won at play, be
cause the use of the table is as much {
thing of value as the drinks. food
cigars or anything else that might b.
played for.
Unless this decision has the effect o
stopping the practice it is likely tina
indictments will be found against poo
players at many other points IN th'
state on the same grounds.

MUST GIVE UP DIME OR WALK
Surprise is Sprung Upon Car Riders
Sunday

SUNDAY
A genuine surprise was sprung upon
a contingent OF afternoon strolIers Sun
day who, in accordance with habit
prevailing here for some time, boarded
the Seaboard "shoofy" train at the de-
pot here for free ride of half mile to
the shops. Nearly every Sunday af-
ternoon these free riders, young cou-
pies out for walk and young boys who
should be at home, swing aboard the
train, which reaches the shops ere the
conductor can go through the coaches.
Sunday, however, an official of the
company happened to be aboard, and
when the train reached the deep cut
near Calvary church he ordered an alb
rupt halt. The conductor then went
through all coacheP, and each free rider
was requested to give up a dime for
passage or get eff. Many OF the love-
lorn SWANS were embarrassed at the
non-existence of the requisite dime in
their jeans, and the railroad cut was
soon filled with walkers rather than
riders. And in future the habit of
riding to the shops will be broken up.

THE OHIO GAM PAIGN.

What promises to be an exceedingly warm political campaign was opened by both parties in Ohio on Saturday It will be one of the few great con- tests of the year, and it will undoubt- edly attract more attention than any other, although dividing interest with the municipal campaign in New York and the election of a successor to Governor Douglas in Massachusetts.
 The Republicans have renominated Governor Herrick in Ohio, where his Democratic opponent is John NJ. Pat tisOn. Both are well known. Herrick, of course, has the advantage of the great Republican landslide of last year, but his private character is be ing assailed, while his Democratic op ponent is man of high personal standing.
 It cannot be denied that the Re publican party of Ohio is no better than it should be- It will be on the defensive. and it is suffering more or less from internal strife. The Ohio Democrats, however, have not been able to show a great many angelic qualities in the past, but it has been so long since they have been in power that the people may have forgotten about that. The Republicans have the influence of President Roosevelt's ad ministration behind them, and they and will have the aid of some

RAILROAD RATE REGULATION. [

While the Republicans have not yet announced their abandonment of rail road rate legislation it is very plain that good deal of hedging is being indulged in. President Roosevelt al last accounts was demanding that some kind of legislation along this line should be carried through the next congress. but the following from the editorial columns of the St Louis Globe-Democrat makes it plain that the Esch-Townsend bill has been abandoned and that Senator Elkins. the railroad millionaire, will be asked to prepare a bill, which he can no doubt do to the entire satisfaction of the railroads. The GlobeDemocrat says:
 The question of the regulation of railway rates by any board created by congress is vast. Good Republicans are divided on it. Senator Foraker. in his address on Saturday at the opening of the state campaign in OhAOs OppOoEu tue COuLtlIlnS Ol lulS power on any congressional agent. Other Republicans have expressed a similar view. On the other hand, Vice-President Fairbanks, speaking at the same place as Foraker. ex- pressed hiC self, though guardedly, in favor of the general policy of rate regulation urged by the President It is known that the President has not changed his ground on that issue since congress adjourned last March. A measure, the Esch-Townsend bill, which proposed to carry out in a gen eral way the Presidents ideas on rate regulation, passed the house last win ter, but failed in the senate for lack of time for consideration.
 Tt is practically certain that a rate regulation bill of some kind will pass congress in the coming session, and will be signed by the President The bill may not, and probably will not. follow the lines marked out in the Esch- Townsend bill of the recent con gress. That measure was framed in haste, was pushed through the house without adequate discussion, and had defects which would have prevented it's passage in the senate, even if that chamber had had time to deal with it then. Speaker Cannon and the rest of the Republican leaders of the pop ular branch supported the Esch-Town- send bill. They are just as much in favor now of the general principle of that measure as they were a year ago But none of them are committed to that bal, or to any other bill along those lines which was proposed in the house last year. A moderate, conserv- ative scheme is favored by the Re- publicans of the house. That sort of measure, no matter what name it may bear or in which branch it may originate, will be enacted at the com ing session, and the chances are that Senator Foraker will be found among its supporters"

DlSCONTENT IN JAPAN.


 Forty petitions have been sent to the Japanese government from differ, ent parts of the empire, asking for a continuance of the war with Russia The granting of these requests is i'm
 possible, naturally, in view of the practical agreement reached at Ports. mouth, but the national temper is dis. closed in them, and one cannot but feel a sympathy for the people, in view of the success of their enemies in withdrawing from the field with flying colors and dissolution from the penalties of defeat. The declaration sent from the Imperial University is especially significant. It condemns the treaty as nullifying the puT- pose of the war, and declares so un- satisfactory an end of if leaves the future uncertain and filled with ele- ments of disgrace and danger. An alleged greement-denied. however by the premier-that Japan shall not fortify Soya (Sugaru0 straits, has caused great umbrage, several of the journals denouncing it as the crown ing humiliation. Several editors have asked for the restoration of liberty to the five journals under suspension, and a counter move has been made in the visit of a corps of prosecutors and judges to the office of the Niroku and the homes of it's editors The party is increasing in and in open hostility to the 
 It would be painful if the bloody war between two nations were to bring on hostilities of equal ferocity between political factions in each ol them. But we do net apprehend that such will be the case. The concessions made by the czar will have a pacifying effect in Russia, while the Japanese will probably learn that a dignifed ac- ,eptance of the situation is seemly, in 7iew of the probable limitations of the national treasury, not to speak Of the nroads which the war has made on he effectiveness of the army From he Japanese point of view, Russia, liter robbing them of the fruits of her 'ictory in the Chinese war, leaves title profit from the last great strug- ,le; yet, if there are few material re ults, the moral and lasting effect has ,een secured, and Japan will be wise she avoids internal discord inas. much as that would prove an element If weakness. whereas she is now at Ter greatest pride of strength.
