White Man Files Appeal.

Columbia, April 22.-Bob Smalls, the
white mau who has been sentenced to
hang in Darlington on May 5, has ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court for new
trial. Governor Hayward to-day received
notice of this appeal through SmalPs at
torney, and the papers were sent to the
solicitor at once. Smalls is one of the
white men sentenced to hang in this State
for killing negro, and the other defen-
dant in the case, John Nell, was sent up
for life. The appeal will attract great
deal of attention, but the grounds have
not been stated as yet on which the ap
pea will be made.
All the military inspections throughout
the State will be finished by April 20, ant
the report which will be made after this
will be awaited with a great deal of in
terest. 1t is expected that number o
companies will be put out of service ant
the members of the militia are anxious t.
know exactly those selected.

They win Stand the Tap.

Columbia, April 22.-The Virginia-Ca-
rolina Chemical Company has accepted
the raise placed upon it by the Comp
trollor General. 1t will be recalled that
after the return had been sent in by the
officials of the company for the payment
of the franchise tax the Comptroller
General refused to recognize it and it
was sent back with an amendment. The
return was for $1,395, 900, and this was
raised by the Comptroller General to
81, ,G91 600. After threatened protest
by the company, the raise was accepted
and the check for the balance of the
taxes duo will be paid.
The return of the Southern Cotton Oil
Company was raised $4,000 and the
Comptroller General has been notified
that the raise will be accepted. This
will leave only one or two of, the larger
corporations to respond, and it Is ex-
pected that all of them will accept the
raise with the possible exception of the
STANDARD Oil Company, which may
threaten suit.

Louisiana Mob Shot Prisoner.

Shreveport, La, April 26.-After
working for three hours with sledge
hammers and pickaxes, mob of
twenty-five men broke into the parish
Jail at Homer, La, seventy-tive miles
northeast of Shreveport, to, day and
shot Dick Craighead, inflicting
wounds which will likely prove fatal.
Craighead was charged with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Ike Mckee, the wife of
his half brother and her little son.
The authorities were unaware of the
design of the mob until it was too
late to protect him. Every telephone
and telegraph wire out of Homer was
cut and the rifles were seized before
the mob made move. More than
twenty shots took effect in Craig
heads body, arms and legs. The
mob left him for dead. 1t is asserted
that he was able to tell Sheriff Kirk
patrick the names of several of the
lynchers. The mob dug hole in the
prison wall, and probably intended
to drag the victim out, but was
thwarted by iron bars.

Rockefeller Buys 100000 Acres.

Charlotte, April 2l.-A special from
Asheville, n. c., says:
1t was learned here to-day through a
private letter to an Ashovlle gentleman
that agents of John ID. Rockefeller and
the Standard Oil Company are engaged
in buying up large tracts of land in the
Chimney Rock section of Rutherford
county, and that already some 100000
acres have been purchased. There has
been rumor atloat in that section for
some time that the company was securing
options on and buying great tracts OF
land through it's agents, though for what
purpose was mere speculation. 1t is
stated now, however, semi officially, that
it is not oil that Mr.. Rockefeller and his
company is after, but timber.

Knights o, Honor to Come Back Next April.
[From the Columbia State. !

From the Columbia State.
The goth annual session of the Grand
Lodge, Knights of Honor, was concluded
yesterday and most of the delegates have
returned to their hor,es. There were
moro members present than usual and
the work proceeded SO harmoniously
that there was almost no necessity for
debate on the several questions of i'm
portance that were presented.
AS has been stated, the question as to
whether the lodge would meet here
hereafter annually or biennially attracted
much interest. Nearly all the grand
lodges of other States hold bienniel ses-
sions, as does the Supreme Lodge, the
law making body. A full aud free discus
sion was had, and those in favor of
annual sessions we're found to be in the
majority, so that Columbia will have the
pleasure of again having this body in
annual session next April.
The reports of the several committees
were perfectly satisfactory, both as to
the membership, finance and harmony,
the committee on appeals and grievances
having nothing brought to their atten-
tion.
The usual appropriations we're made
and the board of trustees held meeting
in the afternoon and mapped out the
work for the year, which will no doubt
have good effect.
| The officers. elect for the ensuing year
are:
j. j. Vernon, Pacolet, past grand die
tator.
c. p. Quattlebaum, Conway, grand
dictator.

Weather and Crops.

Washington, April rs. = The
weekly crop report of the weather
bureau says
Cotton planting has been active,
under favorable conditions, over most
of the cotton belt, but was delayed
by rains in Oklahoma snd Indian
Territories, Arkansas and Northern
Texas. The frost of the 18th killed
much cotton in portions of Alabama,
Georgia and the Carolinas. Chop
ping has begun in Southern Texas
and portions of the eastern districts
and cultivation in Southern Georgia.
Fruit prospects have been further
lessened during the week through
the Ohio Valley, East Gulf States
and on the Atlantic coast south of
New England, peaches suffering most.

Flames Surge at Vanderbilt University.

Nashville, April 20.--The main build
ing, magnificent structure, Of Wander
bilt University, was entirely gntted by
fire just before noon to-day. The fire
originated in the second story of the
building from defective flue. A high
wind was blowing aud 10 few minutes
the entire str ,cturc was mass OF flames.
A general fir. alarm was turned in aud
every engine in the oity responded. On
account of mad, quate water supply the
firemen experienced much difficulty in
fighting the fire. The loss will be almost
total, only few fixtures being saved.
The other buildings were not damaged.
The building destroyed this morning
was a three-story structure, and was
built in 1874 at a cost Of S125,OOO, the
architect being Col. William G. Smith, of
Nashville, who met his death in the
Philippines while leading the First Ten
nessee regiment in battle. There wa,
$4,000 insurance on the building and
$4O,OO0 on the furnishings. It was the
first building erected on the grounds.
So far as known, no one was injured in
the fire. 1t ia understood the burned
structure will be rebuilt as soon as plans
can be arranged.
The total loss is placed at 100000.
The operation of the university will not
be interfered with.

Rev. Sam P. Jones's New Experience.

Montgomery, Ala, April 20-Rev. Sam
p. Jones, of Cartersville, Ga, the we'll
known evangelist and lecturer, had an
experience here to-day which he is not
likely to soon forget.
Mr.. Jones was in Montgomery en- route
to Tuskegee, Ala, where he tonight de-
livered lecture TO Booker Washington's s
school. Sam III Windham, Methodist
preacher, whose home is at Dotham, Ala,
accosted him on the streets and pur-
suaded him to accompany Windham to
the latter's room in a hotel.
No sooner were the two in Wiudham's S
room than the preacher turned to Mr..
Jones, after first locking the door and
placing the key thereto in his pocket,
and said:
"God has directed me to go to Demop-
oils, Ala, and get married and to take
you with me to perform the ceremony,
Then we are to conduct meeting in
Demopolis, after which we will return to
Montgomery and conduct meeting here
"If you don't assent to this, either you
or l must die"
At this moment bell boy knocked al
the door and informed Mr.. Jones that he
was wanted at the telephone. Excusing
himself, he managed to leave the room,
and needless to say did not return, He
was followed to the depot, however, by
Windham, who was arrested there by
Detective Payne.
Windham, who is former inmate OF
an insane asylum, and who has been
three times divorced from the woman he
wishes to wed again, is held at police
barracks as suspicious character 1t is
not known at this time just what dispo
sition of his case will be made.
