SOUTH CAROLINA NEGRO RID.

Thousands Cheer State Executive, But
Immediately Remove Victim From
View Of Governor and Begin the

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 17.-After lis
tening to an impassioned appeal by
Governor D. G. Hayward, who pleaded
that the law be respected, a mob of
several thousand persons last evening
lynched Bob Davis, negro, who had
murderously attacked Miss Jennie
Brooks. The negro had afterward at,
tackled IA year old negro girl
The lynching took PLACE at Green
wood in the shadow of the home of
Miss Brooks
Governors Appeal in Vain.
Governor Hayward reached the
scene shortly after the negro had been
captured. A platform was erected in
fence corner on tho premises of the
victims father, from which Governor
Hayward addressed the mob in an ef-
fort t. prevent the lynching.
The governor beseeched the mob
not to lynch Davis, but in vain. At the
conclusion of his speech the governor
was vociferously cheered The mob
then removed the prisoner from the
view of the governor and within a
short distance of the home of his vic
lets.
Pursued Two Days.
1t is impossible to estimate the
crowd, as citizens from several coun-
ties gathered at the scene, and for two
days had been in pursuit of the ne
gro but it is certain that hundreds VI
bullets were sent through his body.
The militia in that section of the
state is now encamped at Chickamau
ga, and there were no nearby troops
to be called upon. The governor $
guards and the Richland volunteers c1
this city had cen ordered to hold
themselves in readiness in the event
that their services were needed, but
the mob acted too quickly.

Common Sense Forestry.
"What are we going to do?" asked
DR.. Hale in his deep voice. We must
use both common sense and sentiment
in deaing with the forest question.
1t is a very great question. The in-
dividuals interested in American for
estry, even though they be millionaires
or multi-millionaires, can not accom-
plish anything definite and lasting un-
less the states and the general govern
ment can be awakened to the necessity
of giving the cause large and substan-
tlal assistance which it merits. Com
mon sense, in forestry, means that the
forestry question should be put upon
a business basis. In order to make a
large. immediate profit forests are de-
stroyed; they should be cut with some
reference to the future; in other words
they should be cropped. All tie gov
ernments of Europe rely lare5ly upon
their forest lands for revenue. A sim
liar condition should and could b.

TRAIPERS' PROSPEROUS TINES
rurS Worth More Now Than For
Past Thirty Years.

The many trapperS operating along
the northern boarder will reap a rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, in the
log cabins OF scores OF sturdy settlers
in the wilds OF the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold moAths for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary TO the Great
Lakes look to mink, marten and outer
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts OF these little
animals at present command a higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump IN the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now
where year or two ago they were as
high as $500 apiece.
Last wi, ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for a mink pelt, and it
wasn't more than a season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now choice
raw mink fur will bring $11, ana mar
ten pelt from SIS to 500, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin is
worth $22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands. which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite a few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from sS to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from e. fo 80 each
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

Indians, or such of them. at least as

many of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
ity of them is that they do not know
the value of their catch and are likely
to sell s22 otter pelt for S4 or 80, anu
a $ll mink pelt for dollar, or perhaps
a pint of whiskey. The white man Is
we'll aware of this fact, and some a,
gents make it their business during Ihe
winter to do nothing but buy turs Oh

handsome margin of proiit.
