IN THE PALMETTO STATE.
INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading
Punsent Paragraphs About Men
and Happenings.

Adjutapt and Inspector General Frost
is making efforts to secure government
rife range in this State, to be located pos
sibly at Aiken.
Last week it was announced that the
Newberry cotton mills had lost heavily
by cotton speculations, the amount being
about $4,000.
1t has been stated in the newspapers
that whiskey was being shipped by Co
lumbia dispensers to dry counties, and as
this is against the law, Chief Hammett has
instructed the constables to seize all such
shipments.
Alleged blind tigers who hold revenue
licenses must display them in a conspicu-
GUS place. Chief Hammett has instructed
the constables to report to him all those
who have whiskey licenses and do not
expose them prominently, as the United
States law requires.
Dispenser Matthews in Charleston is
short again. This time the amount is
$500, and his dispensary has been closed.
His bondsmen will make the shortage
good. Matthews is the same man who
paid up shortage of $500 a few months
ago TO Inspector Clarence l.. Brown, OF
Barnwell, and the money mysteriously
disappeared.
A white man was held up by a negro in
Edgefeld last Tuesday night. The negro
presented his pistol and snapped it, but it
missed fire, and he at once took to his
heels. The white man fired at him as he
ran off, but without effect. Robbery was
evidently the motive, as the man is q
merchant and some time carries his cash
home with him. No trace of the negro
can be found.
Last Fridays daily papers contained
the news of the financial embarrassment
of the Union and Buffalo cotton mills,
which was caused by specializing in cot
ton futures. T. c. Duncan was deposed as
president and treasurer, and E. W.Robert-
son, of Columbia, was elected treasurer.
Emslie Nicholson, of Union, was elected
president. It is not known what the liza
bilities of the company amount to.
Henry Mccall, a well.to-do white farm.
er, was shot and seriously injured last
week, near his home at Tatum, Marlboro
county. The shooting was done by q
negro boy, a son of one of the tenants on
his place. Mr.. Mccall sent for mule
which was at the tenants house, but the
boy took the animal away from Mr.. Nc
Calls little son, who went for the mule.
Then Mccall went and got the animal
himself, and on the way home he looked
back and saw the negro slipping up be-.
hind him, armed with gun. The negro
fred at once, the load taking effect in
McCalps face. he ran after the negro,
but failed to catch him, and he has not
been located yet.

WHITE LYNCHERs ARRESTED.
Seven White Men Arrested and Lodged In Jail
for lynehins Nesro.

for Lynehins 4 Negro.
HoNEA PATH, Sept. 20.-John Marion
Ashley, Robert Moore and his three sons
John, Josh, and Will, Sam Bsgby, and
Hugh Bowen, charged with having MUIR
dered Allen Pendleton Sunday night,
were arrested this afternoon by Sheriff
Lyon and lodged in the Abbeville county
Jail tonight. Solicitor Cooper arrived
here last night and swore out the war
rants. The crime was committed in Alb
beville county and Sheriff Lyon came
over today to make the arrests. He found
the leaders of the mob at their homes
three miles below Honea Path and arrest
ed them without any trouble.
No news of any kind can be had from
the Ashleys. They are silent, refusing to
have anything to say about the plans Of
John Marion, who Is cousin OF Joshua
w. Ashley, member Of the Legislature
from Anderson county.
At the inquest held before Magistrate
Martin on Monday witnesses testified that
the men captured today took the negro
into the woods for the purpose Of killing
him against the protest of the better citi-
zeus who begged that the law be respect
ed. j. F. Monroe, q merchant of this
town, swore that he saw Robert Moore
place the trace chain around Pendleton's
neck. The fact also came out at the in
quest that when the murderefs were
wavering John Marion Ashley declared
that Pendleton had to die that night. His.
neck was broken by the chain and he was
riddled with bullets. Pendleton was
butchered because he had killed Jim
Moore, but the evidence showed that
Peudleton acted in self defense.
There is much comment here over the
burial of the victim. His body was placed
on board and dragged into the woods,
where ditch was dug. The body was
thrown in, no coffin being used, and was
only partially covered with dirt.
Magistrate Bowen has seat q official
report to Governor Heyward, saying that
the blank verdict was rendered by jury
in spite of the evidence which proved
that Ashley and the Moore's had commit
ted the murder.
All of the Ashley family in this section
were not implicated, John Marion, in
fact, being the only member who partici.
pated in the affair. Melvin Ashley, q SON
of Representative Ashley, tried to per-
suade the mob not to kill the negro, and he
testified that his relative, John Marion
was in the party.
The men are still in Jail at Abbeville,
and their attorney says no application for
bail will be made for q week or 50 at
least.

MURDERER TO Be HUNG
COMMANDER Johnson CONVICTED OF THE
MURDER OF REV. MR. GRANGER.
The Woman, Charlotte Simmons, Also Convict
ed With Recommendation to Merey-New
Trial Granted Her By Judse Gary.

The Woman, Charlotte Simmons, Also Convict
ed With Recommendation to Mesey-New
Trial Granted Her BY Judge Gary.
CONWAY, Sept. 20.-The trial of Com
mander johnson and Charlotte Simmons
here today resulted in the conviction Of
johnson and also of the Simmons woman
with recommendation to mercy in her
case.
Judge Gary is the presiding Judge in
the case and he has sentenced johnson to
be hanged on the second Friday in No
vember. A new trial was granted the
Simmons woman and she was granted
bail in the sum of $500.
The crime for which johnson is to pay
the life penalty was most atrocious one.
The Rev. Mr.. Grainger, highly respect
ed Baptist minister, was shot down In cold
blood while plowing in his field. There
was at the time no clue to the murderer,
but before the end Of the day suspicion
began to point to Commander johnson
and the woman, Charlotte Simmons! It
was alleged by the State that johnson
had had falling out with Mr.. Granger
over some cross tie timber and that he had
q grudge against him because Nh. Grain
ger had openly said that he would report
johnson and the Simmons woman for
living in open adultery.
Unless there is reversal by the su-
preme court johnson win hang. It is
understood that an appeal will be taken

"UMOROW" SCHOOLS.

Bleeding Kansas has enacted law estab-
fishing "Jim-Crow" schools In one OF the
cities Of that State. The Governor approx
ed the bill against the protests OF the negro
population, who are strongly in favor OF
having their children associate with white
children. Some time ago we believe that
in Massachusetts town school was sci
aside for the exclusive use OF coored chill.
dren, and another for the exclusive use Of
the white children. The "J;m Crow" school
IN that town was promptly burned down.
We can understand how therefcan be "Jim
Crow" schools 10 Massach usetts, Tor that
State never did love the negro, except al
long range, and Its Governor was one OF the
first In the Union To tender aid to Virginia
10 quelling the John Brown instruction.
But Kansas has been esteemed the happy
hunting ground OF the negro. 1t was the
scene OF John Browns activities in behalf
Of Sambo, aud he cut the throats of white
people with astonishing disregard Of age or
sex II they disagreed with him in his views
OF the race problem.
The reasons which the Governor of Kan
sss gave 10 the Legislature for signing the
Jim Crow" bill are hypocritical to the last
degree. He said the bill is a step back ward
and a concession to the Southern idea 10
such matters, with which he has no sympa.
thy. Nevertheless he signed the bill be-
cause the local condition was such as TO
make separation best Tor both races, Why
may not local conditions 10 the South make
separation best for both races, and, il 90,
why has he no sympathy for the Southern
ideal
The hypocrisy aud fslsehood about the
negro in the North is sickening. The PEG
pie there criticise the South for It's treat
ment OF the poor negro, while they them
selves treat him worse when he comes
among them. Some time ago Booker Wash
ington was invited to address the Legisla
tnre Of Kansas. He was escorted 10 the hall
by the Governor OF the State. The STATE
Supreme Court adjourned 70 hear the I'D

DIR. OSLERS THEORY.

DR. Oser Is 10 all probability one of the
moel distinguished men Of bis protessiou-
indeed, his call from Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, al Baltimore, 10 Oxford, England,
Is sufficient OF itself TO stamp him as pro-
toundly eminent and learned man, and par
ucularly SO 10 the profession which his eI.
perience and learning have made him an
authority upon all scientific subjects which
are constantly coming before the faculty OF
the University. Nevertheless, we concur
ln that avalanche Of opinion which has
most mercilessly criticised and condemned
the utterances 10 relation 10 his theory that
after 40 years men are comparatively useess
Such declaration made at such period of
the world when the pillows of literature,
science and art are rolling mountain high,

thought Of every avenue Of life. The phi.

strate the worth Of this assertion, aud any
utterance to the contrary, however eminent
the source from which 1t may emAnate, can
have but little weight or influence 10 the d.
rection OF siemming the current OF the set.
tied and substantial opinion OF the best
minds Of ancient and modern times.
The weight Of authority has fully shown
that II is alter forty that the most ponderous
problems have been solved. Martin Luther
was over 40 when he commenced bis trans
latlon Of the Bible; Disreali was in his sOth
year when his greatest diplomatic victories
were obtained Bismarck, Leo XIII and
Gladstone achieved their highest laurels and
left their richest legacies TO the world at
20 and 90, and so on through life And
whilst we have high appreciation OF Dr..
osler's eminent ability, We would be unwIll.

men who lived long after the age OF 40, and
whose great researches were showered upon

"The first lie the comparative uselessness
Of men above 40 years of age. This may

calculable benefit it would be in CONNER.
cisl, political and in professional life If, a.
matter of course, men stopped work 81

tos' that by the laws Of certain wise States
sexagenarii were precipltated from bridge,

mitted TO suffrage, and they were called de

That incalculsble benefit might follow such
q scheme is apparent 10 any one who, like
nysei, is nearing the limit, and who has
made careful study Of the calamites which
may beiall men during the seventh ana
eighth decades"
After enumerating the evils and mistakes
attributable TO the sexagenarians, DR.. Osler
declared:
"rhe teachers life should have three pc.
riods-study until IS, investigate until 40,
profession until 80, al which age would
have him retired on double allowance.
Whether Anthony Tsollope's suggestion oil

out or not, l have become little dubious, as
my own time is getting 30 short. may say
for the benefit OF the public that with a wo.
man would advise an entirely different
plan, since alter 60 her influence on her EEK
may be most helpful, particularly If aided
by those charming accessories, a cap and a
