He quoted the sympathetic uttersnces OF
the British Prime Minister. Sir Henry Camp
ell-Bannerman, and John Morley, and de-
clared that there was a revival Of the ira
ditions Of liberty and liberalism in Great
Britain. He drew a most hopeful augury
from this and declared that the dawn Of a
righteous and liberal policy of self-govern-
ment for India was at hand.
He recommended the sending Of petition

British Parliament. He appealed to wealthy
Indians TO raise a large patriotic fund and
organize body Of speakers to 60 the length

to have been used in paying off a church

Culley informed Mrs. Beveridge that the
church mortgage had been Cancelled. but

the mortgage she learned that the clergy
man had only paid the interest.

GOVERNOR Is IGNORED
SOUTH CAROLINA MOB SHOT
NEGRO TO DEATH.

Bob Davis, the negro who on Tuesday
murderously attacked Miss Jennie Brooks,
and afterward assaulted a fourteen-year-
old negro girl, was lynched at Greenwood,
S. c., last night close to Miss Brooks
home, despite an earnest appeal to the
mob by Gov. D. c. Hayward to allow the
law to take it's course.
Gov. Hayward reached the scene shortly
after the negro had been captured. A plat
form was erected in fence corner on the
premises of Miss Brooks father, and from
it Gov. Hayward beseeched the mob not to
lynch Davis. He was listened to quietly,
and at the conclusion of his speech was
vociferously cheered, but the mob inlme-
view and then riddled their prisoner with
bullets, a negro woman firing the first
shot.
Sequel to Two Days Pursuit.
It Is impossible to estimate the crowd,
as citizens from several counties had gath
cred at the scene, and for two days had
been in pursuit of Davis. but it is certain
that hundreds of bullets were sent through
his body. The militia from that section of
the state is encamped at Chickamauga,
and there were no nearby troops to be
called upon.
The Governors Guards and the Rich
land Volunteers Of Columbia had been pr
dered to hold themselves in readiness in
case their services should be needed, but
they could not have reached the scene in
time to Illustrate the mobs plan of ven
geance.
The Assault.
The assault by Davis on Miss Brooks
was made in her fathers store, where
she was temporarily in charge. After
making some purchases the negro grasped
a meat knife and sprang toward the girl
Miss Brooks attempted to defend herself
with an iron bar, but the negro slashed
her across the throat, making a cash four
inches long, and almost severed two Of her
fingers.
Afterward he went three miles to an
other farm and attacked the negro girl. A
posse Of 1000 men started in pursuit Of
the negro, and finally captured him yes
terday afternoon near Ninety Six, a town
nine miles from Greenwood.
