SOME PLAIN TALK.
SENATOR TILLMAN ON THE

for Trusts Necessary.
Senator Frye's joint resolution tt
provide for the transportation BY
American ships only Of material fol
use in the construction of the Pana.
ma canal, which was brought up In
the senate Tuesday by unanimous
consent, was the subject Of an ami.
mated debate on various phases OF
lth work of providing material for the
canal.
Mr.. Frye stated that five million
barrels of cement are to be used in
the constructor of the canal and said
that under the law American ships
cannot compete for transportation
service, as British ships cost 33 1-3
per cent. less for both construction
and for their operation. His resolu-
ton was to give the trade to Amer
lean ships, regardless of the differ
ence in cost. He submitted statistics
showing that there were 10 times as
much tonnage of Ameican vessels as
was necessary to ship the cement
needed.
An amendment by Senator Foster
of Louisiana providing that the re-
striction should not apply to the Gulf
ports or any part of the United States
from which vessels of the United
States could not be secured for the
trade, was accepted by Mr.. Frye.
Senators Fulton, of Oregon, and
Bacon, Of Georgia, sought to have
the amendment extended to the
northern Pacific and southern Allan
tic coasts, respectively, but were I'M
successful.
Mr.. Lodge commenting on the pro-
priety Of securing cement on the is
thmus. said 1t would cost $1,000, 900
to erect plant there for that purpose.
Mr.. Culberson said there was need
of protecting the United States from
extortion by the monopolies that
would be benefited by the resolution.
Mr.. Bacon thought the resolution
should not leave the direction to the
president to determine that American
ships should be given this business
when their charges we're not extor-
tionate nor unreasonable. He want
ed the restriction mandatory so that
every bidder could know what he
would meet in the way of transporta-
ton.
Mr.. Tllman, declaring against buy
ing cement in the United States at
greater cost than elsewhere, called
Mr.. Lodge to his feet with the state
ment that If he wanted free cement
he should apply the same principle to;
lumber and and other material used
on the canal or in this country.
II would like powerful well to
have that DONE" retorted MI. Till
man, las I represent a good many
farmers who would be benefited by
cheap supplies"
Mr.. Tllman added that the need
for campaign funds made 1t necessary
to look after the interests Of the
shipping trust.
The resolution was then laid aside
until later.

SHOT HIS RIVAL
Because He Walked Home With
Young Lady and Then
COMMITTED SUICIDE.

At Marion a Young Man Walks Into
Cotton Mill, Shoot and Dangerous
ly Wounds Another Young Man
and on His Way Home Puts Bullet
Through His 7Brain.-Communtty
Terribly Shocked.
A dispatch to The News and Cour-
Ter says the cotton mill village in the
eastern surburbs of Marion was tor
ribly shocked by a double tragedy.
which occurred Friday morning as
a result Of which one man is dead
and another dangerously wounded.
At about 8 o'clock Luther Hewitt.
a young man who had been UP until
a few days ago, an employee in the
mill, walked into the mill, where Ar
thur Stephens was at work, and after
saying only a few words to him fred
at him at a distance of about one or
two steps, the ball taking eject IN
his neck. passing to the right Of
his windpipe. Stephens Immediately
ran, but was shot again at a distance
Of a few steps, this ball hitting him
in the back just over the left shout
der, causing him to fall.
Hewitt, evidently thinking that hs
had killed the man turned deliberate
ly and walked out of the mill and
toward his fathers house, but when
within a short distance of his home.
turned the pistol and fired at his own
head, but missed the first time. The
second attempt, however, was sue
cessful. He held the pistol to his
right temple and fred, killing him
self instantly.
DR.. q. G. Smith vas hastily sum-
moned, and reached the wounded
man within a few minutes, and Hnd-
NTH that neither Of the balls could
be easily located, he decided to take
his patient to the hospital in Flor
ence, where he hopes that with the
use Of an X-ray machine, the balls
may be located, extracted and the
mans life saved.
The train from Wilmington to
Florence was at the station at the
time he examination of Mr.. Hewitt
was being made, and Conductor
Jones kindly consented to hold ths
train for ten minutes until tho
wounded man could be placed upon
It, and this was done within that
time, DR.. Smith accompanying him
to the hospital.
The alleged cause Of the trouble
Is said to be that young Stephens
walked home from a party last night
with a young lady to whom the de-
ceased was very much attached. But
the general, impression among tho
friends Of both parties is that. HeW-
tits mind must have been unbalan-
ced, although he had not shown any
previous symptoms of mental de-
rangement.
Neither Of these young men Is
married, both of them living IN the
mill village with their parents. Tho
deceased was a son Of Mr.. W. D.
Hewitt the night Waterman at n
mill, and Arthur Stephens Is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J.. B. Stephens. Both
Of the families are natives Of Mari

Four Of Them Taken From an OFF,
Ger and Hanged.

Dave Poe, Tom Ranston and two
jenkins brothers, all negroes, were
lynched at Vancleave, Miss, by a
mob of 80 men Tuesday night. The
men were in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Evans of Jackson county en-
route to Jail when the mob overlook
them.
A series Of incendiary warehouse
fires, causing losses in foodstuffs and
other supplies, incensed the people OF

fessed their guilt when the mob took
them from the deputy and all four
were hanged to limbs of trees by
the side Of the road where their bod
les were found the next morning.

the banks are also under Injunction
from Judge Pritchard not to pay out

pear to be sure of keeping the money,
