Double ~Lynching.
Two Negroes Lynched in
BarnWen for Killing a
w hite Man.

Columbia Record, Dec. 9th.
Two negroes were lynched in
6arnwell county last Friday and
the first news OF the crime has
just been received in Columbia
today when Governor Howard
received the official report of the
sheriff. From the report it is
evident that the lynching was
one of the most unprovoked
crimes recently committed, and
Governor Hayward will order q
thorough investigation of the
whole affair and endeavor To
place the responsibility where it
belongs.
According to the report by
Sheriff Creech, two negroes,
Frank DeLoach and his son John
approached the house of Hayne

How a Sumter Farmer Made

examination of the Perry district for
the special purpose of determining the
possibilities of the occurrence of coal
in commercial quantities in that region.
Their conclusion is that there is no
basis whatever for the hope of finding
disable coal in any of the concealed
parts of the Perry formation, and that
the outlook for finding oil or gas in the
Perry area is no more encouraging than
that for coal. This is probably true also
of other localities in eastern Maine.
We recall an outcropping of rusty
looking rock fragments in pasture in
Machias which the boys Of fifty or more
years ago, and perhaps some of their
elders, believed to indicate coal or
iron mine. The proximity to the coal
fields of Nova Scotia and New Bruins
wick no doubt had much to do with
fostering a belief that coal veins exist
ed in eastern Maine While this is now
shown to be groundless, the report of
Messrs. Smith and White is one of
great value to biologists, and even the
lay reader will be interested in the fact
developed that ''from some volcanic
centre in this vicinity lava flows were
erupted."

1t was announced Monday that the
St urgis bill, providing for q commission
TO r the better enforcement of the pro-
hi bitory law, had been redrafted. The
present bill, while not radically different
from it's original, contains a clause
which provides that one member OF the
com mission shall be lawyer who shall
have the powers of attorney general
and may go into county and appear
before grand jury with evidence
against alleged liquor sellers and pro-
coed aga inst them. 1t further provides
that the enforcement commission shall
have power to remove county attorneys
for not ding their duty as regards en-
forcement OF the prohibitory law.
Why have two attorney generals?
Why delegate to commission the
powers that are or should be vested in
the Governor? Why constitute a COM
mission to perform duties otherwise
provided for? Every one will admit
that we have laws enough prohibiting
the sale of liquor. They are in the
statutes with other laws, to be equally
respected and enforced. Sheriffs, and
other officials sworn to enforce the laws,
are not supposed to elect what laws they
will or will not enforce. They are
sworn to enforce all the laws, and
should be held to an accountability as
is proposed for county attorneys.
That duty should devolve upon the
Governor. rather than upon commits
sion. If this proposed commission is to
perform duties that properly belong to
sheriffs, why not abolish the latter
office? Is it likely that anything
practical would be accomplished with a
divided responsibility? Why should
we return to the State constabulary
system, discarded long ago after free
and fair trial? These and other ques-
lions must suggest themselves to all
who examine the provisions of the Stur-
gis bill. Then there is the question of ex-
pense, which ought to be considered
when so many worthy institutions are
calling for aid from the State treasury

HyOmei Cures Catarrh by Simple Breathing.
K. H. Moody Refunds Money if it Fails to
Cure.
A long stride toward solving the mystery
of curing catarrh was taken with the discOv-
cry OF HyOmei. In fact, the percentage of
cures by this treatment proves it equal to
the final tests.
The folly Of taking medicine into the
stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat
and lungs, has been realized by physicians,
but not until Hyome was known, had they
a practical method that would obviate stonl-
ach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but 81,
and consists of neat p',cket inhaler that
can be used anywhere without attracting at
tention, medicine dropper and bottle of
Hyome. Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but
SOC.
Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler,
every particle of air that enters the nose,
throat and lungs, is charged with a healing
balsam that Sootbes and aIlays all irritation,
kills the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
r. III. Moody has so much faith in the
power of Hyome to cure catarrh, that he is
selling it under his personal guarantee to
refund the money if it does not give posi-
tive relief.

TIE recent sale of three Baltimore
coffee clippers, two of them built in
Belfast for the firm of c. Morton Stew
art & Co, causes speculation AS to
whether Baltimore is losing its posi-
tIon as a coffee mart or whether steam
has taken the place of sails in bringing
Che berry from Rio. Certainly no new
vessels are building to take the place of
the barkentines sold, and which are to
be re-rigged as four masted schooners
and placed in the coasting trade. An
other query: Are the two-masted
schooners of from 50 to $50 tons to go
out of existence altogether? Within a
few weeks two Belfast-built vessels of
this class, the A. Hayford and the
e Gorge B. Ferguson, have been wreck
ed, and for years past their number has
been decreasing and no new ones have
been built to take their places. De-
spite the increasing competition of
steamers and barges it would seem
that there must still be work for ves-
sells of this size.
