Mulligan Goes to Gang.

F. r. Mulligan, former police off,
Ger of Spartanburg, convicted at the
last term of court Of general ses-
sions on the charge Of housebreak-
ing, and who was sentenced to serve
one year in the penitentiary or q
like term on the county chaingang,
will serve on the gang, according to
reports. It is said that he will be
sent to Captain Browns gang to-
morrow morning. Mulligan, it is
said, expressed desire to remain in
Spartanburg and serve on the county
gang rather than 60 to Columbia.
Mulligan, Matthews, and Harrison,
three we'll known intelligent white
men, occupy the same cell in the
county jail, two of them having al
ready been convicted of offences
against the State. Harrison was
lodged in Jail last night on the charge
of larceny of live stock and will be
tried at the next term of the court
of general sessions.
Mulligan feels his position keenly,
though he is keeping up a strong
front. He says he is going to make
the best prisoner that he knows how
and after he finishes serving his SEN
tence he is going to begin life anew.

tor L. s. Bigham, Dan Kinds and A.
H. Fuller are charged with having
lynched the negro Arthur Davis In
the Forrestville neighborhood, this
county, on January 9Th, last. It will
be remembered that the details Of
this horrible case which appeared In
The State at the time indicated q
most brutal and entirely unprovoked
murder. of a respectable and HARM
less negro. Suspicion pointed to the
three men indicted as the perpetra-
tors of the crime. The negro is said
to have been taken from his bed at
midnight by three masked men, and
after being dragged a short distance
through the woods, beaten to death
with traces taken from the harness
of the team which the lynchers were
driving. No motive was traceable
except the alleged fact that the ne
gro had beaten a mule belonging to
Mr.. Bigham. Bigham is a brother
of DR.. Bigham,, who figured recently
in the tragic shooting Of his wife
at Sunnyside, Georgetown county.

Handcuffed Convict Escapes.

Tivoli, N. Y, Oct. 11.-Edward
Davis, alias King, negro convict,
Jumped from New York central ex-
press train, near here, to-day and
disappeared. He was discharged
from Dannemora yesterday and was
being taken by warden to a North
Carolina prison, from which he had
escaped. The train had slowed down,
and King, Notwithstanding that he
was handcuffed, jumped from a plat
form of a sleeping car. He rolled
over and over but regained his feet
and disappeared in the fog. The war
den jumped after him but was too
badly cut and bruised to give pur-
suit!
King escaped from the State prison
at Raleigh, N. c., six years ago,
while awaiting trial for murder. He
was afterwards arrested in Brooklyn
and sent to Dannemora for five years.

Historic Building Burned.

A fire that ragged for nearly two
hours and taxed the energies OF the
entire department was discovered Just
after midnight in Columbia Monday
night, and as a result historic Caro-
lima Hall, the home of the Wallace
house when this State was vrested
from Radical rule, is in ashes and on
Hampton street the establishment OF
the Carolina garage company was
totally destroyed, while between the
two buildings the Cne-story frame
buildings were licked up by the fire
so quickly that, despite the tons OF
water poured on the fire, there was
little chance to save any OF the prop
erty stored therein.
The Carolina hall, which was de-
stroyed by the fire, is one OF the his
toric spots in Columbia. 1t was built
of brick taken from the smouldering
ashes in Sherman's wake.

Everything points to the compile
tion of the Carolina, Clinchfleld &
Ohio road in to Spartanburg by Octo-
ber 20, the date fixed for the celebra-
ton of the opening of the road. With
in this week it is expected that the
work of laying the rails from Wofford
college campus right up to the South

only a matter of day to make the

being made by some people in this
county to have the sheriff of Ruther-
ford county stop work at the Broad

any attempt is made to work that
day. The bridge builders, it is said,
will not work on Sunday unless they

RAILROAD TRESTLE BURNED.
Bridge of the Lancaster and Chester
Line Destroyed.

Chester, Oct. ia trestle across
the Mcdaniel branch of the Lam
caster and Chester Road 110 feet
long and nine miles from Chester,
was found to have been totally de-
stroyed by fire when the Lancaster
and Chester's passenger reached the
stream this morning on its journey
towards Chester.
The trestle was completely gone,
nothing but a few bent irons and
charred timbers marking the place
where it had stood. The train was
stopped without accident, and such
passengers as wanted to connect
with the Seaboard brought on to
Chester the others being sent around
by Rock Hill over the Southern.
Nothing is known here as to the
cause of the fire, though some think
they see q connection between the
destruction of the trestle and the at
tempt to wreck Col. Leroy Springs g
automobile a few days ago near Ian
caster. Col Leroy Springs is sole
owner and proprietor Of the Lancas-
ter and Chester Railway.

Greenville, S. c., Oct. 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committee of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
tion held a meeting here to-day and
discussed several matters Of tmpor-
tance to the industry, especially mu-
tual insurance and the organization
of a southern mill mutual insurance
company.
The committee also urged that cot
ton buyers discontinue the practice
of buying cotton at gins and let the
cotton come to the regular mills.
A resolution was also adopted ap-
proving the action taken at the Man
ufacturers' Association looking %to
curtailment.
Committees were appointed to
communicate with mills with regard
to carrying out the curtailment
agreement.
A resolution was passed objecting
to the extra amount of bagging now
being put on bales by some ginners,
in violation of the State law as to
tare, and in violation of the rules OF
the Cotton Buyers Association,
which limits the amount of tare to
twenty pounds for soft cotton and
twenty-four pounds for compressed
cotton to the bale.

Forest Rangers Needed

The demand for men to patrol and
protect Uncle Sans 195,0OO,OOO
acres of national forest area in the
west has been greater this year than
ever before, and 500 young men will
be appointed as forest rangers this
year. These appointments will be
made from the successful candidate
in the Civil Service examination for
forest ranger which will be held in
every state and territory in the Uni
ted States on October 25 and &c.
The entrance salary of. a ranger
is 5000 per annum with the chance
to increase to 81 400 as ability is
demonstrated. A most encouraging
fact, not to be overlooked, is that
advance to the highest position in
the service. In many instances for
est supervisors, the highest posi-
tions, on the national forests, have
entered the service as rangers or
guards and have risen by good work
to the positions which they now oc-
cupy.

OSBORN A CANDIDATE.

The public announcement made
today by Chase S. Osborn that he
will be a candidate for governor
will meet with hearty approval from
his many friends and all citizens OF
Michigan who are interested in good
government, but will not altogether
please the gentlemen already in the
field.
AT the primaries Mr.. Osborn will
be foe who will have to be re-
spected by his opponents. With the
backing of the upper peninsula, his
wellknown record as a state official
his recognized ability as a cam
paigner, and his remarkable power
as personal friend-maker-with
all these things to be credited to
him in considering the possibilities
of the coming battle, the gentle
man from the 500 promises to be an
adversary who will bear watching.
Mr.. Osborn is one of the kind of
men who does everything he sets out
to do we'll He made good news

ton at the 500. Starting with no
capital but pair of ready hands
and an alert brain, he has secured

AS state game warden and rail
road commissioner he gave the state
of Michigan clean, honest admins
trations and piled up a large friend
ship among the people which will be
a great asset in his campaign.
He is one of the kind of men who
smile at you and shake you by the
hand and you are his friend for life
That Osborn smile and hand-shake
will be worthy of mention even
with the Kelley smile also at large
and not in captivity.

Carton Not a Candidate.

"Will you be a candidate for gov
ernor next years was the question
put to Mr.. John J. Carton by a Daily
Journal representative Tuesday af.
ternoon.
The newspaper man explained to
Mr.. Carton that there were a great
many of his friends pat'i ;ularly
anxious that he should make the run
and his name was being mentioned
not only throughout the state, but
by many of the most influential men
in this city and county who were de-
sirous to have him enter the race
with a formal announcement thus
earlyso there would be no misappre-
hension with respect to his candi-
dacy throughout the state.
Il had not intended to discuss the
matter at this early date, but my
mind is definitely made up and you
may state that under no circum-
stances would l consider becoming a
candidate. | am deeply appreciative
of the kind things which have been
said of me in connection with my
possible candidacy for this high
office, but | shall not make the run
next summer"
Mr.. Carton said that his reasons
for not becoming a candidate were
purely personal and contained no
political significance whatever.
Since returning from Detroit,
where he was recently operated on
for appendicitis, Mr.. Carton has
gained steadily and begins to look
and feel like himself. His law
practice has never been as extensive
as at this time and it is plain to see
that he is very busy man, which
may possibly have some bearing on
his decision.
Mr.. Cartons declaration narrows
the number of possible candidates to
three men, as the matter stands at
present, Judge Montgomery, Chase
s. Osborn and Lieut.. Gov. Kelley be-
ing considered as in the race. Mr.. |
Osborn has made no formal an
but it is believed that
he will do so before long. Judge
has made his position
clear, and as for the lieutenant-gov-
ernor, he is always candidate for
