Pennsylvania. Her lawyer entered a
remarkable plea. Said he:
in this day and age, when race sui.

whom she, can love and respect" /
The woman's attorney is Colonel j.
Marion Brooks. He Is a fiery Ken.
tuckian, and while he made his elo.
Quent plea the handsome young mat.
ron blushed, but stood her ground.
Your honor, this woman Is the
mother. Of four beautiful children. She
Is a young woman, strong and healthy,
and there is no reason that, IL she IS
divorced from this man and married
to man whom she loves and respects,
why she should not give more strong
sons and beautiful daughters to her
country. "
There Is a mighty navy to be main.
tained for these United States, q
mighty army to be reared. mighty
constabulary TO be governed.
"This woman has shown she Is pos.

her. She is the mIghtiest Of all fac.
tors in building up the American Ma.

Own their Own Homes
What Capt. S. E, White
has done for Cotton Mill
Operatives in Fort Mill.

The following is an extract
from Col. August Kohn's inter-
esting series of articles ON the
cotton mill industry of South
Carolina, now being publis She'd
in the News and Courier:
Away off in Fort Mill, very
near the border of North Caro-
lima, Capt. S. E. White, who is
the father-in law of Mr.. Leroy
Springs, has been doing a great
work for the operatives OF the
mills, of which he is the head.
Some years ago be encouraged
the operatives TO build and own
their own homes. and he started
a bui ding and loan association
among his operatives, the chief
purpose of which was TO encour-
age me operatives to buy prop
erty and build homes, either for
themselves or for rent. The idea
has grown, and today more than
fifty operatives in this little COM
munity own property as the re-
suit OF this monthly Instalment
system inaugurated by Capt.
White, and other mills are adopt
ing The same policy. At the
Brandon Cotton Mills the bank
has a capitalization of $4,000,
most of the stock being owned
by the operatives themselves:
and, although this mill has not
been in operation many years,
the deposits now aggregate over
$4,000; interest is paid at the
rate of 4 per cent.

Chester to have a Hanging.

Chester Lantern: In the cir
cult court yesterday morning
Lawson Addison, colored, was
sentenced to be hanged on the
17ih day of January next for the
murder of Mamie Halsell on
Sept. 23rd of this year. Addi-
sons case ,,was tried on Saturday
and that night the jury returned
verdict of guilty. Addison
killed a sister of Mamie Halsell
also on the same day he killed
her. He was cool and was chew
ing gum when sentence of death
was pronounced. Apparently
unconcerned as to his fate, he
was led back to his cell to await
the coming of the end. He is a
big strapping negro and has a
black record. This makes two
negroes in the county Jail under
sentence Of death, the other being
Gus Lee. The latter was to hang
some time ago but his case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court and
will be decided in January.

man, was held up in the neigh

and relieved of what cash he
had with im-five or six dol

was white man.
Last night Mr.. Sidney Smith
fell into the hands of negro
highwayman. He had just le t
home for the theatre when some
one told him to stop. Mr.. Smith
told him to move on or he would
shoot him. This was clever
bluff, however, for Mr. Smith
was unarmed, but got into Mr..
Hinson's hack which happened
to be passing and returned home
and got his pistol and captured
his man after shooting at him
four times. The highway man
proved to be John Mayhew, a

The South's Female SANDER
I er--W hat Rustic" Thinks
of Her Report on Labor
Conditions.

Ed. The News: Generally news
is slow getting to this hollow;
so, if we are little behind In
finding out the days doings, there
is q reason.
About a week ago l read of
"Miss Mary Quackenboss, a spe
cial attorney OF the department
of justice" who filed with the
a sensational report
on labor conditions in the South.
1t is stated in newspapers that
she claims to have abundant evil
dence tending to prove that labor
cond tions are intolerable ami
worse, if possible, than when the
negroes were freed.
If she had stopped right there,
we might say she told the truth;
for labor was never so trifling
and unreliable as it is now in
the South. But she tells more
about conditions in North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Alabama
and Mississippi. She wants the
public to believe that peonaee
is common in those states and
that immigrants are and will be
i'll treated.
Is this expedition and report
part of plan to keep immigrants
from coming into the Southern
States? 1t seems so. Why did
the attorney-general select a
woman TO do this work? Was it
because she can not run for office
and misrepresentation will not
affect her candidacy? Was it a
hatched-up plot TO injure the
Southe
This misguided woman may
deserve pity for the lack OF man
ly qualities required III perform
ance of such Investigations: but
her misrepresentation are sub
ject of universal condemnation.
Our cor gressmen should de-
mand full investigation Of the
report and discharge of the wo-
man, unless she makes good her
charges If she has discovered
that peonage is prevalent, the
department should act immediate
ly: il she has not so discovered
let her step down and out.
To one who knows that peon-
age is not prevalent in this State,
it seems that the department OF
justice (so-called) has aimed a
blow at immigration into the
South: besides it has usurped a
furction which properly belongs
to the department. of labor and
commerce. Let Miss Quacken-
boss make good, or quack on
some other pond. AS to the
Italian colony in Mississippi
whom she represents as disSaLis
fed, and whose settlement on
"nothing more or less than a large
plantation" seems 50 deplorable
to her, they could not expect
nor could she expect them m-tc
be settled any other way. Land.
