Old Negro Killed.

Allen Samples, an old negro, was
killed under mysterious circumstances
at his home near Baxter on Saturday
morning between 10 and II o'clock.
1t was first thought that Samples had
committed suicide, but at the inquest,
which was conducted by Coroner B.
D. Clarke on Sunday, this theory was
abandoned, the verdict of the jury be-
ing that Samples came to his death by
a gun shot woand inflicted by parties
unknown. The wife and daughters of
the dead man swo:e that they heard
the old man enter the house and get
his gun, but neither saw him fire the
shot. When they found him he was
lying with his gun between his legs,
and had terrible wound in the back
of the head. The entire load ranged
directly toward the front, making it
appear impossible for the old man to
have fred the gun himself.

Mob Lynches Negro
For Brutal Attack.

Arcadia, Fla, April 11.-John Smith,
the negro who yesterday dragged Miss
Mary Steele Ewing from her buggy,
two miles from Arcadia, in an attempt
at criminal assault, was taken away
from the sheriff and his deputies at an
early hour this morning and hanged
to tree.
The story of the attempted assault
is az follows: Miss Ewing, who had
been to the city on a shopping tour,
was returning to her home, four miles
from the city, when the negro sprang
into the buggy, seized Miss Ewing
and dragged her into the bushes,
throwing her down and choking her.
The young woman begged, fought
and prayed to the black fiend to let
her go and offered to give him 500 in
cash if he would accompany her home,
but this did not stop the brute. Miss
Ewing, in her struggle, saw William
Knowles and his brother walking some
distance from the scene. With re-
newed vigor she screamed and this
attracted the Knowles brothers, who
rushed to her assistance. The brute
made his escape, and, after taking
Miss Ewing to her home, the men
rushed to this city and spread the
news, and bloodhounds, followed by a
posse of 300 men, were soon on the
trail. The negro was found at tur-
pentine camp and taken before his
victim, who positively identified him.
Sheriff Freeman and his deputies sue
ceeded in placing Smith in Jail, but
being afraid of an attack, ATTEMPTED
to spirit the negro out of Arcadia,
when they were met by an automo-
bile party, held up and forced to give
up the prisoner.
The negro, seeing that he was DOOM
ed to death, pleaded for mercy, but
there Was none in the hearts of the
mob who carried him to the edge of
the city, where they strung him up to
a tree. Miss Ewing positively identi-
fed the clothing on the negro and
pointed out the shirt she had torn in
her efforts to escape.

Corley-Roof.

On last Wednesday evening at $50
O'Clock the pretty new home of Sher-
iff and Mrs. P. H. Corley was the
scene of a beautiful marriage when
their daughter, Lila Mae, became the
bride of Mr.. Carl Anderson Roof.
To the strains of the beautiful "Wed-
ding March," skilfully rendered by
Miss Hattie Smithdeal on the piano
with violin accompaniment by Prof.
David Smithdeai, aunt and uncle of
the groom, the happy couple, unat-
tended, took their places under a mar
riage bell of white, suspended from
an arch of Southern smilax. The Rev.
J. A. Cromer, of the Lutheran church
pronounced the fateful words in a
most impressive manner. At the
close of the ceremony an elegant sup
per was served the more than two
hundred guests.
The young bride was lovely in her
gown of snowy satin, and carried an
armfull of white carnations. The col
or scheme in the reception hall and
dining room was green and red, while
the parlor was beautiful in it's decora-
tions of palms, ferns and Southern
smilax. The presents received by
the couple were numerous and hand
some.
The bride is a young woman OF
many graces and has always been a
social favorite with Lexingtons'
younger set. The groom is the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Roof. He
is a graduate of the Citadel and is
now holding very responsible posi-
tion in the Columbia postoffice. The
happy couple left amid a shower of
rice on the O'Clock train for their

Shackleton's "Joke."

Sir Ernest Shackleton who got his hon
orary prefix a short time ago in con-
sideration of his plucky near-polar per-
formance in the south, is a brave man,
deserving of applause for his work as ex-
plorer. He is evidently of the stuff that
insures success. and it is quite likely that
he will soon crown his achievements by
actually planting the Union Jack at the
southern axis of the world. Meanwhile, it
behOOves him to preserve a discreet
silence regarding the unfortunate dispute
now raging regarding the claim of DR..
Cook to prior north polar attainment
Unfortunately, he seems to be animated
with the thought that he is a wit as well
- an ice traveller. Perhaps it is the ira
ditional American inability to appreciate
the British joke that casts a gloom over
Sir Ernests latest bid for international
attention. At a luncheon in Dublin he
saw fit to crown his speech with a bril-
liant bit of satire. He produced the fol-
lowing message, as having been received
from DIR. Cook: Have just discovered
the south pole: kindly annex it to Ire
land" Fortunately there is no likelihood
that this cryptic offering in the name of
humor will have to be referred to Copen-
hagen for translation and acceptance or
rejection. The polar question is already
sufficiently complicated without adding
further mysteries.

The Local Playground Need.

Publicly maintained Fairgrounds for
children are not experimental. They are
not a fad, suddenly adopted, to be later
abandoned. They have proved their
value in practically every city in the
country, in terms of better children
healthier children and better prospective
citizens
New York city is this year spending
$4,000 of public funds for the mainte-
nance of its Fairgrounds, of which there
are 261. Chicago is doing in the aggre-
gate even better. spending $JOUOO to
maintain twenty-nine Fairgrounds. Phil
adelphia is spending .23.ilO35 of public
funds. while the people are voluntarily
supplying over 5000, to maintain seventy
three Fairgrounds. Boston. the pioneer
in the Fairgrounds movement, is spending
$4,000. chiefly of public money. for sew
enty-seven grounds. Baltimore spends
$4,000 of tax money and $4,000 OF pri-
vately contributed money in the up-keep
of fifty Fairgrounds. Other cities are do
ing this work in generous manner.
Washington now has thirty-two estab-
lished Fairgrounds, which have been of
the utmost benent to the children of The
capital. During the past summer these
grounds attracted Il total attendance OF

Had it not been for the generosity or the

caring for the needs of the children.
Tomorrow in all likelihood the House
will vote on proposition to amend the
District appropriation bill. which has just
been reported with provision of only

Commissioners having submitted an es-

The Nicaraguan Complication.

Nothing exceeding the Ncara guam sit
nation for compleXity has developed IN
the international field for long time
The United States has been compelled to

further formal relations with the chief
executive of that republic. owing to the
manner i'm which the rights of certain of
it's citizens were violated This govern

similar privilege to the representative of
the insurgents now occupying consider

Warships have been sent 10 Nicaraguan
waters, with sufficient force of marines
for effective shore duty In case OF need.
Meanwhile the case takes an unexpected
turn. threatening to place the United
States in an embarrassing position. The
troops of the Zelaya government become
aggressive and menace the position or
the EstradisIs. A successful turning
movement by the Zelayists would posi-
bly, compel the United States to intervene
in force, in order to forestali the COM
piete and unquestioned establishment I'm
power of the man whom it has publicly
and emphaticalIy denounced as one with
whom it is impossible to maintain dip

Just at this psychological moment of
difficulty comes word of an outbreak OF
revolutionary sentiment in the capital of
Nicaragua. natural expression of feel
Ing long suppressed by the tyrannical
methods OF the dictator president. Thus
far the manifestation has been kept with

speech making. hut it is feared that at
any time the insurgent spirit will devel
OPP aggressively, with consequent blood
shed. Zelaya is undoubtedly master of
the case as long as he can trust to the
loyalty of his troops. If the army is dis
affected he may find himself caught be-
tween his own forces and the in
famed populace. His flight from the
capital would settle the question in one
sense and unsettle it in another. for his
withdrawal before the secure establish
lnent of a successor in the field or in the
seat Of government would probably pre-
cipitate secondary civil strife between
the factions.
Zelaya's withdrawal, in short, does not
necessarily mean the accession of Es-
trada to power, unless the latter has ad-
vanced his army to Managua and stands
ready to take advantage of the opening
thus given him. The position of the
United States i'm the meantime remains
that of an interested observer. with
strong prejudice against the existing gov
eminent and an entire willingness to see
the regularly organized insurgent move
ment successful. provided the government
which it may establish in consequence of
military triumph will give guarantees of
stability and satisfactorily pledge the
recognition and preservation of American
rights in Nicaragua, public and private.

Either the flyer went into a prohibited

Mr.. Hearst Speaks His Mind.

William r. Hearst spoke with much
frankness and force at the dinner given
in his honor in New York last night.
Seated at a table with prominent repub-
licans and prominent democrats. he de-
clared against both Of the old parties, and
heartened men present of his own indie
pendent position by predicting the rise at
an early day of a new party committed to
reforms which neither of the old organ
izations could be relied upon to effect His
reception is described as enthusiastic.
The question Mr.. Hearst propounded to
the company Is worthy the most earnest
consideration OF every man who assisted
last month in Tammany's overthrow.
What is to follow the victory achieved?
TO what account is the victory to be put?
Tammany's delinquencies brought about
Tammany's defeat The town voted for
better government. Will such govern
ment be provided? If not, Tammany is
likely to come into power again. Hereto
fore the failure of reform has meant the
return of the tiger
The trouble in New York has been the
trouble everywhere else. Reform move
ments too often are but spasms. After
machine politicians. who are frankly in
the game for the benefit of their own
pockets, have filed tleir pockets at the
expense of the public, an outcry is raised
and the rascals are turned out But those
who take their places come in with no
scheme of remedial action, and either fall
out among themselves and do nothing,
or waste their energies and opportunities
on unsatisfactory things. AS result,
the machine forces, which never disband
or Sleen ra1Iv for tho nexf campaipn and
win, through the disgust Of the public
with the reform fiasco. Mr.. Hearst does
not want this reform movement to end
that way.
OF wider interest-even of national In
terest-is what Mr.. Hearst said about
the democrats who met several months
ago at Saratoga for the declared purpose
of giving life and responsibility to the
party in New York. Mr.. Hearst does not
believe either in the men or I'm their pro-
LESSONS. In his opinion they are but de-
coys, acting in the interest of Wall street.
and seeking to bind the democracy more
firmly to the street than ever. He sees
no reform in them, and will not cooper
ate with them.
This means that if the Saratoga squad
controls next years state convention and
dominates the democratic ticket MI
Hearst will not support 1t. All overtures
to that end will be wasted. Well. If the
Saratoga squad may not lead. who will?
Can Mr.. Hearst's cooperation be secured
at all: Would the Saratoga squad Sup
port ticket nominated for the express
purpose Of bringing Mr.. Hearst into
camp? What complicated business the
whole New York political world is!
