MEET FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
Farmers, Let Us Learn from Each
Other.

Editor Coirler: The most profit
able trading is the exchange of ideas.
Indeed, 1t is the. only trade in which
both parties convey the goods and
at the same time retain them, i'm
proved and frightened by the fric-
tion Of the exchange.
The discussions in the agricultu-
raj club consist largely of such prof
liable trading Of ideas. We learn
from each other not only facts OBJ
served that have escaped us, but we
learn of successful practice under
conditions in which VIC have failed,
and thus our business becomes more
profitable. The farmer Is of neces-
sity isolated and needs avail himself
of opportunities of business and So
cial intercourse with those similarly
situated.
The writer feels the need of les
sons which other farmers can teach
him. An organization of those en-
gagged in the same business furnishes
a school in which each member is a
teacher and pupil on lines of mu-
tual interest.
The writer Is too new In the COM
munity to assume the lead amongst
those Of so much larger and longer
experience, but needs to profit by
learning from those of greater OBJ
servation and experience in solving
the problems which confront us.
1t is suggested that Major VIM. ].
Stribling issue, through The Courier,
a call for a meeting of those who
desire to avail themselves of the ad.
vantages to be derived from club
or society of Oconee farmers, nam
ing the time and place for gather
ing Of farmers for consultation and
organization. Such an organization
will greatly promote the business and
social relations of those who are dig
ging living out of Oconee soil.

Negress Slain at Hampton.

Hampton, Feb. >7.-Eliza Robert
son, colored, was killed here early
this morning by 0her alleged para
mour, Dan Robertson. The killing
was accomplished under very unusual
circumstances, and the method used
was shocking. Dan Robertson has
for some time been threatening the
woman, and early this morning he
dragged her from their house, one
hundred yards to the railroad, evi-
dently with the intention Of putting
her body on the track, and there beat
her brains out with an iron pin and
cut her throat from ear to ear. In
the fight for her life, the woman sue
ceeded in cutting Robertson in num-
Der of places. Robertson, thinking
that it would be the safest plan, went
to the Office of DR.. G.. A. Rush to be
"mended," and the physician imme-
diately notified Chief of Police Fen
nell, who "nabbed" the slayer. At
the inquest to-day Robertson confess
ed, saying that he killed Eliza in self
defense. He is now safely tucked
away in the county Jail.
Robertson is desperate character,
and is wanted at Beaufort, at which
place he is known as Dan Wright; at
Savannah, where he is known as Dan
Arnold, and at Scotia, where he Is
known as Dan Polite. He will be tried
here at the approaching term Of
court, which begins on the 18th of
this month.

NEGROES THREATENED.
Colored Carpenters Warned by Night
Riders to Quit Work on Depot.

Waycross, Ca, Feb. 7.-Consider-
able excitement was caused at Pear
son, a small station thirty miles
northwest of Waycross, this morning.
when it became known that five ne
groes employed by the Atlantic Coast
Line in building new depot at that
place had received warnings from
self-styled might riders" to leave the
community forthwith or death would
be meted out to them. Two notices
were received by the negro carpen-
ters, as follows,
You negro carpenters. We give
you until Saturday night to leave
here under penalty of death.
(Signed) Might Riders"
The depot at Pearson was burned
on October 10. and the origin of the
fire is declared to have been incen-
diary. Special agents Of the Atlantic
Coast Line have arrived there to in
vestigate the threats of the so-called
might riders" and it Is announced
that arrests will probably follow
within few days.

A Powder Magazine.

Pittsburg, Feb. 4.-The situation
in the Heron hill district, where
over 13O negroes have been arrested
during the past couple of days, fol-
lowing the many attacks on young
white girls in that section of the city,
is quiet tonight, but a double force
of police and plain clothes men is still
on duty, as there is strong under
current of racial feeling that needs
but slight excuse to make it break
forth in violent form.
The authorities believe that in Nc
Gee, a negro arrested in the raid
Tuesday night, they have the man
who has beeen terrorizing the Heron
Hill district. He was identified to-
day as the negro seen running from
the scene of the most recent assault
and Miss Ida O'Neill, the victim Of
the attack, gave description of the
cap worn by her assailant that fits
the headgear worn by McGee. How
ever, the police are continuing the
search for unemployed negroes and
arrests are still being made.
John Jasper was sentenced to four
years imprisonment to-day, the limit,
on a charge of assault and battery
with intent to commit more serious
crime on Mrs. Mary Shafer several
weeks ago.
Many negroes of the Heron Hill
district are moving to the suburbs to
get away from the scene of the trou-
BILE.
The authorities have sent out de-
coys in the troubled section in an ef-
fort to catch negroes who have been
molesting white women. Young men,
dressed as women, and armed with
black jacks, walk through the dis
trict hoping to have the guilty ne
groes accost or attack them.

Negro Stole Locomotive.

Americus, Ga, Feb. 6.-While a
Central railway freight train was
standing in the Smithville yards here
a strange negro mounted the detach-
ed locomotive during the absence of
the engineer and pulled the throttle
open. The fireman was beneath the
locomotive making some repairs and
barely escaped death by pulling him
self up on the driving rods, while the
engine speeded toward Dawson. The
fireman worked his was cautiously to-
ward the cab and at sight of him the
negro leaped from the flying engine
and ran. Crowds of citizens were
quickly in pursuit and the desperate
was captured and jailed.
The engine ran half mile before
it was stopped by the fireman.

Negroes Give Trouble.

Columbia, Feb. 5.-Magistrate R
Lebby Clement, of Wadmalaw Island
Charleston county, was in the city to-
day with a very surprising story of
condition of affairs on his island. He
has been magistrate there for several
years, having been appointed by Till
man when he was governor.
Lately the constables he has ap-
pointed have been myseriously dis
appearing. He has lost two within
the past few months and the two he
now has have received warning
from the BLACK Hand Society on
the island that their time is near at
hand if they do not give up their
positions.
Besides this, the barns and build
ings on two of Magistrate Clements
places have been burned.
He is determined to ferret out the
perpetrators of the crime, if possible,
and to this end has secured private
detectives and comes here to get the
governor to offer rewards for infor-
nation leading to the parties guilty
of the recent crimes" He will per-
sonally duplicate the reward offered
by the governor.
The situation on the island is
really alarming. Magistrate Glenn
ent attributes it to a secret organiza-
ton of the negroes, who greatly out
number the whites. There were 43
white men on the island in Republi-
can times, and over 1900 negroes
used to vote and the latter number is
greatly increased now.
He is obliged to have negro con-
stables for he can't get white. OF
course it is mainly against the ne
groes that the arm of the law is ex-
ercised. This negro secret society is
believed to be center of disturb
ance. ..
Several we'll authenticated stories
from this and surrounding islands
show really alarming state of law
lessness on the part of the negroes.
If an attempt is made to break up the
gangs, trouble is sure to follow.

FIEND IN HUMAN FORM.
A Mother Saves Her Child From
Horrible Fate.

Gaffney, Feb. 4.-Tuesday after
noon, about o'clock, while the two
children of Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ. Tur-
ner, a boy of about 10 and girl of
about S years, were playing in the
house, a negro boy named Norman
Gregory entered the room, and, seiz-
ing the little girl, attempted a Grim
inal assault upon her. The screams
of the boy alarmed the mother, who
was somewhere about the premises,
and upon running to the house found
the rascal making the attempt as
above stated. She seized a shotgun
and snapped both barrels, only to
find that the weapon was unloaded.
The negro made good his escape, but
he will be caught.

Pittshurg Negroes Armed.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.-In spite of
many threats of armed resistance
upon the part of negroes, if police
continue their wholesale arrests OF
members of their race who are found
without employment, in the Heron
Hill district of this city, no out
breaks of any kind occurred up to
late tonight.
The police force in that district
was doubled last night and every
patrolman has orders to arrest every
suspicious negro.
During the afternoon three ne
groes were taken to police stations,
and it is anticipated that tonight
many others will be arrested.
No further attacks upon white Wo-
men or girls have been reported
since last night, and should one oc-
cur the temper of Pittsburg citizens
is such that violence would very
probably be meted out if the assailant
should be caught. Men and women
throughout the section involved are
carrying revolvers and negroes are
said to be all armed also.
Should a clash come, and it is
considered not at all improbable If
more arrests are made, the results
would be serious. Local negro ora
tors are infaming the negroes to re-
sistance and the feeling is high. The
police, however, seem to have the
situation well in hand and will prob
ably not make any further indis-
criminate arrests.
