MIR. GoRDoN's STATEMENT.
Claims That Ee Received Ora ous
Treatment il. Ny: NV Try.

Mr.. Gordon came to Columbia last
NIGHT On the train from Newberry
and was seen at Wright's hotel. he
stated that he had received most out
fageous treatment at the hands OF
the people Of the town. He was the
representative of the International
Bricklavers and Masons' union and
had headquarters in Birmingham. He
had organized a number Of unions IN
South Carolina and in the organ1za-
ton Of the negroes the work was
done by P. W. Peace, a negro from
Durham, N. C. He said that on his
arrival in Newberry he made can
rass Of the town and found only two
white bricklayers and a number OF
negroes engaged in the trade. The
two white men were members Of the
Greenyille union. The negroes were
visited by Peace and urged to join.
In the meantime Gordon was wait
ed upon at the Frederick hotel by the
chief of police, Mr.. Bishop, who ask
ed him his business. The organization
Was explained to him and Mr.. Bishop
departed, afterwards returning with
Mr.. Brown. The latter stated That
no organizations of this kind were de-
sired in Newberry, the people beng
we'll enough off without negr' un-
ions. Mr.. Gordon says that he at
tempted to argue with the mayor and
the latter lost his temper and struck
at him several times.
He managed to ward off the blows
and the mayor then grabbed the cane
out of the hands of the chief Of police
and struck at him several times, fin
ally being stopped by Chief Bishop.
The mayor was then placed under ar
rest and Gordon was summoned as a
witness. Those who saw the affair
advised him to leave the town and he
prepared to do so. Papers were serV-
) ed on him at the depot and cash
! bond of $25 was required by Acting
Mayor Green, who, according to Cor
don, said that he "should have had
his damn neck broken." Gordon then

Washington, September 4.-F. d.
Chittenden, assistant entomologlst
of the department Of agriculture, to-
day gave it as his firm belief that
there is not boil weevil east Of the
Mississippi, with the exception Of the
state of Louisiana. So far as the pest
being found in Laurens county is
concerned, Mr.. Chittenden does not
think there is remotest possibility
Of such a thing. g..
FI heard Of pest in South Car
oina and elsewhere in the South"
Mr.. Chittenden said, "but I am sat-
isfed it is not the Texas boil weevil.
So far the pest has not been dis
covered anywhere east Of the Aissis-
sippi, with the exception Of Louis
iana." ~
When asked if it were possible
that the weevil could have been car
ried to South Carolina in cotton seed
secured by seed crushers there from
Texas and other states in the South
west he said: ''There is only one
chance in million for such a thing
to happen. It could only occur through
some person knowingly and wilfully
carrying the weevil from its pres
ent location in the southwest to the
other states in the south. There is not
the least necessity for people in South
Carolina to become worried over
what they think is the genuine boil
weevil, for am satisfied it will not
be found to be such upon careful
examination.''

NEGRO LABOR ORGANIZER.
Not Wanted In Newberry and Given
to Understand It-He Left by
First Train.

Newberry, Sept. 5.-Yesterday a
stranger, who registered at one Of
the local hotels as ''Frank P. Gordon,
Birmingham, Ala.," accompanied by
Il well dressed negro attracted the at
tentfon of the police and upon being
shadowed it was learned that the two
men we're here for the purpose Of Or
ganizing negro bricklayers and plas-
terers into the International Brick
layers and Plasterers' union.
Mayor Brown, upon learning OF
the white mans business, went to see
him in the capacity of citizen, and
not officially, to inform him that the
citizens Of Newberry would not per-
nit a white man to organize negroes
in the community. In the interview
Gordon intimated that Mr.. Brown
was a "liar," whereupon the latter
proceeded to flog the stranger.
=" The strange negro was led to the
edge of town and invited to take his
departure. Gordon was arrested and
held in bail in the sum Of $25.
At first Gordon represented himself
as mattress drummer but after
wards admitted that he had told an
untruth. He said that he did this in
the towns he visited for the purpose
of deception, as he did not wish his
real business to become known.
When the Colrm!!:ia train reached
here tonight Gordon boarded it, fol-
lowed by 10 or Is citizens who desir-
er to "interview" him, but he escap-
ed them by locking himself up In the
toilet.
Policeman John Adams, who work
ed the case up, as well as Mayor
Brown, have the sympathy Of the
community for their part in the al
fair.
It is said that Gordon is en- route to
Greenwood for the same purpose that
he visited Newberry.
The affair created considerable
comment here today.

Leaves Mythical Fortune to Rela-

Jesse BnTright, an old printer who
died in Des Moines recently, had a,
sense Of humor: that did not lesEs.
him even when on his deathbed, al
though his last manifestation Of that
trait was of a grim kind. .: -. :.
For years he had not been in COM
mun6dation with his relatives, al
though he had several sisters and :
brother residing in California and
another in Ohio. When Burright was,
taken i'll Of typhoid fever about six
weeks ago he notified his relatives
brothers, sisters, nieees and .nephews
of the Iact, AID not one of them re-
spcaded to his appeal for aid.
Friends in Des Moines took charge Of
the case and helped to. bear his :ex-
penses. They also paid the. expen-
ses Of the funeral. .... ...... ..,...
Shortly before Burright died he
sent ont a second circular to his .un-
responding relatives. II was simply
a printed copy Of will purported, to.
have been drawn ty attorneys and
carrying the news that he had died.
Burright in this will disposed Of
about $4,000 in cash. he left his
brothers and sisters each $4,000, ani
to his other relatives he distributed
cash and real estate as if he were 3
millionaire.
Then there was a hurrying Of dis
tant relatives to the bedside of the
dying man. He was too i'll to see
them when they arrived, and he died
without disclosing the location Of his
wealth. :;
Qaurrels soon arose among the
gathered relatives, and an attempt
was made by some Of them to break
the will. The brothers and sisters in
sisted that they were entitled to the
entire estate and then threatened leg
al proceedings Of the property. Two
Of the brothers engaged attorneys and
were preparing for an attack upon
the will on the ground that the de-
ceased brother was insane and that
the entire estate should 60 to them.
The lawyers began an investigation
by starting in to find where their fee
was to come from. Any they made a
discovery.

A MESSAGE FROM MARS.
His Proff That the Planet Was In
habited and Civilized.

Ebenever was driving his masters
plow straight and true, but none the
less with thoughtful air, as though
his thoughts were elsewhere. And so
they were; they were soaring far a.
loft above the plow and the brown
earth turned up as to reach Mars.
The previous evening. Ebenezer
had attended a lecture at the village
school room on "The Heavens" and
what the lecturer had said about
Mars being inhabited profoundly I'M
pressed Ebenezer. As he mechani-
cally guided his pillow something
struck him suddenly on the head, and
he dropped senseless to the ground.
A balloonist passing overhead and &C.
cidentally dropped an empty whisky
bottle upon Ebenezer's fortunately
thick skull. When he recovered con-
sciousness the balloon had passed
out Of sight, but the cut on his head
and the blood stained bottle at his
feet remained.
Ebenezer gasped in amazement and
awe as he gazed all around the wide
brown fields and the blue sky above.
Then he picked up the bottle and
smelled at it and at once deserted
his team in great excitement and set
off posthaste for the vicarage.
"Mun tell vicar Mars be 'nabited
right enough" he muttered. "Civil-
lied. too; they drinks whiskey. -

The above account taken from The
State yesterday is in the main cor
rect according to Chief of Police
Bishop. Chief Bishop, however, says
that he was at the train Wednesday
night and he did not observe more
than the ordinary crowd there and
that he himself was not looking for
Gordon.
In regard to the interview between
Chief Bishop, Mayor Brown and Cor
don, Mr.. Bishop says that Gordon
stated he went around with his negro
man and with him attended meetings
Of the negroes and lectrued to them,
advising them to organize and join
the union. He said that Gordon
stated that the union he represented,
and he himself, put the negro on al
equality with the white man in the
union, if he were as good mechanic.
Mayor Brown stated that he was
in favor Of the organization Of the
white men for the purpose Of getting
all for their work that it was worth,
and that he sympathized with the
white laborer but that he did not
want to see the negro organized
against the white man.
The only treatment that Gordon
received at the hands of the citizens
Of Newberry was the interview which
he had with Mayor Brown, and the
mayor has no apologies to make for
his part in the interview.
We have heard of no trouble in
Newberry between the laborer and
those who are employing labor, Cor
don, himself, must have been ashemed
Of the work in. which he was engaged,
and must have felt that it was work
which was detrimental to any COM
munity or he would not have come
here representing himself as mat
tress drummer. :. ..
Mayor Brown appeared before act
ing Mayor Green on yesterday morn
ing and pleaded guilty to the as
sault upon Gordon and was fined five
cents or one day. Of course, he paid
the fine which the acting mayor should
remit.
