THIRD LYhcHED IN TEN DAYS
Another Negro Put to Death by South
Carolina Mob.

Columbia, s. d. Aug. 24.-William
Spain, a North Carolina negro, 81 years
oldl was shot to death by a mob near
St George, Dorchester county, this at
ternoon. This is the third lynching In
South Carolina within ten days.
IS. l. Common, manager Of the Dor
chester Lumber company's stores at
Badham, was notified by a negro that
he saw another negro attempting to
enter a window of his home and then
run away into nearby cane patch.
Conner Immediately started for his
home, going thru the cane field. He
suddenly came upon Spain. and Crap
pied with the negro, striking him a
severe blow, breaking several bones in
his hand. The negro freed himself and
ran into nearby woods.
Conner notified his neighbours, and
about two hours later Spain was cap
tured and locked up I'M Jail. Shortly
afterward a posse of forty or fifty men
went to the sheriff, and, securing the
keys to the Jail, took the negro to the
house of Conner, where his 11-year-old
daughter identified the negro as the
one who tried to climb thru the win
dow.
The mob then took the negro to a
nearby oak tree. strung him up to a
limb, and fired about 500 shots into his
body.
No Agreement in Mob Case.
Springfield, MO, Aug. 24.-In the case
of Loss Galbraith, the alleged mob
leader, charged with murder in the sec
ord degree, the jury reported to the
court last night that two ballots had
been taken but no agreement had been
reached. The jury stood ten to two,
but it is not known whether the ma
iority wasVfn favor of conviction or
acquittal.
One of the lawyers for the defense
in his argument said that while the act
of the mob in lynching the negroes
might be a violation of the written law,
"there is an unwritten law higher, than
that and that is the one they obeyed.
Under the unwritten law they had a
right to do as they did,
The state objected to those state
ments and the court sustained the OBJ
lection.

Special to Tinles-Republtcan.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-The commit
tee appointed 10 make plans for uni-
form accounting system for Iowa cit
les is now actively at work. 1t prom
ises to be an arduous task. The law
takes effect April /, 1907, and the COM
mission expects to have its work COM
ipleted in time to give city clerks and
other municipal officers chance to
install the system at that time. Frank
Norton, of Burlington. one of the COM
mission, In an interview regarding the
work of the committee, said:
.'The majority of the members
thought that they were 10 consider
some plan that would be submitted by
the office of the auditor of state. But
such was not the case. We are to
originate the system. The work was
largely of a preliminary nature, and
we shall really get down to business
held in Des Moines Sept IS. There is
considerable to do. 1t will be no slight
task to devise system that will fit
the big city and smaller town and
the cities operating under a special
charter. One. of our members will
probably visit one of the cities operat-
ing under a special charter and inform
himself as to the wants and needs of
those cities. The law provides for the
appointment of inspectors called COM
missioners, who will inspect the books
of municipalities. Like bank examin-
ers, they are apt to drop in at any
time. In cities of 5000 and under
these examiners will come only when
sent for, and Will work at the expense
Of the respective communities. The
uniform accounting system will in
clude a uniform system Of blanks upon
which reports will be made to the
state auditor.
Three members Of our COMMITTEES
represent cities that own some of their
public utilities. They report that their
communities are well satisfied with
municipal ownership and that instead
of going backward municipal own6r-
ship is gaining ground in Iowa. CITIES
for instance, that own their water
works are planning to get control of
or to establish their own lighting sys-
TENS.
AS rule, there is more or less OBJ
lection to every innovation, and the
committee was surprised to find that
there is practically no opposition to
the proposed uniform system of nlu-
nicipal accounting. Quite to the con-
tfrary those in noSftion TO mass i1lds-
ment, are of the opinion that 1t will
be a very good thing, and on every
hand there is the inclination to extend
all possible aid and advice to the COM
mittee. OF course, the members of the
committee itself are of the opinion
that it is a step forward, and there
promises to be much hard work, but
it will be pleasant and will be light
ened by the fact that the committee
will work in perfect harmony"
