Negroes Sustain President.

Washington, April Ia delega!
ton of negroes from Mississippi,
comprising bankers, business men,
lawyers and educators, called at the
White House to-day to tender to
President Taft whatever assistance
they could render in helping him to
work out the policies outlined by him
in his inaugural address. The visit
had to do solely with the so-called
negro problem in the South.
In his address to the president the
chairman of the delegation said:
Like you, we do not believe that
any satisfactory and lasting results
can be reached without the co-opera-
ton of the representatives of the
more than 100000 negroes who
are the bone of contention; like you,
we do not believe that any satisfac-
tory and lasting results can be OBJ
tained without the approval and CO.
operation of the dominant race, the
whites, in our section, and any pol
icy that makes for peace between US,
that means to bring US more closely
together so far as the public good
is concerned and the general upllft
of our section, and in that uplift the
uplift of the nation as well, is much
desired by us, and our presence here
is to assure you that the negroes OF
Mississippi will do their part in
bringing about the desired ends, and
hope not to so conduct ourselves at
any time as to embarrass your we'll

SUICIDE AT BLACKVILLE.
Young Negro Forges Fathers Name
" to Check and Shoots Himself.

s. Robert Coleman, son OF o. R. Cole
man, a negro youth of 1S years, end
ed his life by shooting himself in the
left breast with a pistol about one
o'clock Monday.
The cause of Coleman's rash deed
was as follows: On Saturday he
went to Blackville and going to the
store of Mr.. n. Blatt, presented a
check on the Bank of Blackville for
$500 signed 20. R. Coleman" Mr..
Blatt was somewhat uncertain what
to do, but the negro assured him
that the check was good, that it had
been written by his father, who ran
a bank account with the Bank of
,Blackville. Mr.. Blatt finally cashed
the check for him. On Monday
when the check was presented for
deposit by Mr.. Blatt, he was inform
ed that the check was a forgery and
would not be accepted.
Mr.. Blatt then sent message to
Coleman and his father, both of
whom live about two and one-half
miles from Blackville, telling them
what the bank had done. Young
Coleman was in the field at work
with his father. He said very little
about the matter, but when he stop
ped work at noon he got on his
mule and went by T. Odom's house
and asked Odom to lend him his
pistol to shoot rabbit nearby.
,Odom got his pistol and handed 1t
to Coleman. The boy stepped out in
the yard and putting the gun against
his left breast fired, killing himself
almost instantly.
Coleman's father is highly re-
,spected colored man in his section
and has the confidence Of all who
know him.-Barnwell Sentinel.

S1OO Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in it's curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

FIRE IN HARTSVILLE.
Store of J.L. Coker & Co. Complete
ly Destroyed.

Hartsville, April 2.-The large de-
partment store Of J. L. Coker & Co.,
a frame building worth $4,000 and
stock worth $4,000, were totally de-
stroyed by fire this morning. The
loss is practically covered by insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
It was discovered about 6 o'clock
to be burning fiercely on the in
side. The local fire company, assist
ed by the damp weather, did splendid
work and saved nearby buildings.
A brick warehouse will be fitted up
as a temporary storehouse. Plans Tor
a new store will be drawn up at
once.
The losses to nearby stores, to
glass fronts, etc., from heat and wa
ter is as follows:
Harris Music Co., damage to
building. including offices on the
second floor, about $500; Stewart s
pharmacy, damage to building and
stock, several hundred dollars; dam
age to stock of L. q. Hicks, dry
goods and millinery, damage TO
glass front about 500; amount OF
insurance of each unknown.
The destruction is the largest
ever known here. Hundreds OF en-
ployes of the various Coker indus
tries will necessarily suffer some in
convenience, but systematic plans
are now being provided and the gen
eral business of the concern within
a few days will move on unlnter-
ruptedly. -,
The buyers for the firm will leave
at once for the Northern markets to
purchase a complete stock of goods.
The company's brick fertilizer
warehouse will be converted into a
temporary store soon, and after a
few days business will be resumed.
The new store, soon to be erected,
will be a brick structure of modern
style and appointments, OF sufficient
size to accommodate the demand OF a
large business and will be substan-
tial improvement to the town.

MONKEY ARRESTED.
Trained to Steal by Its Dishonest
Owner.

A monkey was arrested for shop
lifting in large jewelers. shop yes
terday. incidentally it's owner, a
Mexican named Miguel Androval,
was also taken into custody.
Androval, who is described as a
travelling mountebank, has long been
under suspicion by the police, who
were informed that valuable articles
had disappeared in most mysteri-
Gus manner from shops which An
Groval had visited.
For some days the man has been
carefully watched by detectives, but
although his actions were apparently
above suspicion, the thefts con-
tinued.
Yesterday morning the Mexican
visited a fashionable jewelers. am
asked to be shown some rings. A tray
was placed in front of him, and after
pretending to examine it's contents,
Androval indicated another tray and
asked to examine it also.
The shop attendant turned to pick
up the second tray, while Androval
stood couple of feet from the coun-
ter, in such position that the
slightest movement would have been
detected. The man did not move, but
a detective, who was watching
through the plate glass window, saw
tiny head peep furtively out of An
droval's overcoat pocket.
Then, in a fash, small brown
monkey sprang out, deftly seized two
diamond rings, and disappeared
again into the pocket before the shop
attendant could turn round with the
second tray of jewels.
The monkey fought furiously when
arrested by the detective. It was re.
moved to the Fourriere, depot
where lost or strayed animals are de-
tanned, and it's owner was taken to
the police station.
In the latter's pockets were found
many pieces of valuable lace and
jewelry which had been stolen by the
monkey. Androval is said to have
trained the animal SO cleverly that II
would pick up articles which its own
er had previously touched with his
f1ngers.-Paris correspondent Lon

Gallant Sailor Who Commanded
Spanish Fleet at Santiago.

Puerto Real, Spain, April 3.-Vice
Admiral Pascaul Cervera, who COM
manded the Spanish meet in the bat
tie of Santiago de Cuba, died here
this afternoon.
Admiral Cervera was retired from

December IA, last, at his own request
on account of failing health. He suf-

Admiral Cervera was born on Febru-

CONTRAST IN CEREMONIES.
Japanese and Russians Commemorat
the Battle at Chemulpo.

The dismal clCy OF Caemulpo, VI
the west coast of Corea, recently wit
messed two strangely contrasting Ger
emonies, each conducted by aliens in
the land, and each commemoratlng
the historical event which served to
make the name of the town known
around the world. The occasion OF
the demonstration was the anniver-
sary on February 9 Of the battle be-
tween the Russian and Japanese ma
val detachments outside the harDor.
Hundreds of Japanese came down
from Seoul, the capital city, sixty
miles away, to join with the large
japanese colony at Chemulpo in max
ing the day typical holiday of their
home land. All of the Japanese quar-
ter in the town blossomed with bunt'
ing, flags and lanterns, day fireworks
banged off the new stone quay at the
waterfront and every sendo ano
'rickishaw man in town was out De-
hind a brass band, trailing his en-
thusiasm through the narrow streets
of the mongrel town.
There were long speeches IN the
high sounding formal oratory OF the
Japanese, a parade drill of some OF
the Japanese soldiers still retained ID
Corea, for the good of the Coreans.
and long night afterward of sakl
drinking and dancing by the geisha'
The Russians, who came down
from Seoul, had no part in the jap
anese festivities. With M. de SomoW,
the Russian consul general, there
were M. Birukoff, the archimandrlte
of the Orthodox church in the do
cese of Corea; a few attaches from
the consulate and a half dozen Rus
sian merchants and travellers.
They went out to the little foreign
hurying ground on one of the bleak,
treeless hills back of the town ana
there, where all of the dead that mao
been recovered from the Varlag ana
Korietz after the battle were buried,
the archimandrite conducted the
orthodox service for the repose OF the
dead. The responses were sung py
Corean converts.
Among some of the foreigners VINO
stood in the cemetery with uncovered
heads while the priest ofered up
prayers for the brave dead were
those who remembered the day when
the Variag and Korietz came limp
ing back into harbor, after having
stood off for more than an hour the
overwhelming squadron under Ad-
miral Uriu. The Variag, her unpro-
tected sides punctured like sieve,
was listing to such an extent tnat
the blackened snouts of some OF her
starboard guns were dipping in the
waves. The Korietz, little gunboat'
hardly bigger than an American reve-
nue. cutter, had been under the pro-
lection of her bigger sister and was
practically unhurt.
Then it was that, as the foreign.
ers who ranged the hillsides back OF
the town and the knobs OF the harDor
islands saw the conquering japanese
squadron coming in to take its prizes
the roar of fired magazine smote the
ugly little town and the two Rus-
sian ships dropped to the mud OF the
harbor. Even as the smoke OF the
mushroomed out in the
higher air strata, and the bays wa
tiers were peppered with the falling
fragments of the fighting ships, the
band on the Italian cruiser lying at
anchor in the inner harbor struck up
the heavy cadences of the Russian
national hymn in a requiem.
