SELLS BAD MEAT
GOVERNMENT AGENT SAYS IN.
spECTORs FARCE.
He Makes Grave Charges Ia a Letter
to Secretary OF Agriculture 5emss
Wilson

After eighteen months service as
a United States meat inspector IN
East st. Louis packing house, J. z.
Harms has resigned. he says. writing
a letter to Secretary OF Agriculture
James Wilson, demanding an invee-
tigation OF the meat inspection sys-
tenn in the national stock yards.
Ar. Harms asesrts that be resign
ed because he could not tolerate
conditions, and that inspectors IN
charge of the bureau OF animal in
dustry were too lenient with the
packers. Harms in his letter says.
The inspection at the National
stock yards, Illinois. is costing the
people approximately 100000 q
year, and it Is not actually worth
81 to them. For when the word is
passed from the inspector in charge
to the inspectors actually doing the
work on the floors that they are get
ting too many condemned anianls,
and to change the grading, 1t means
that the whole thing Is a farce.
Mr.. Secretary, the packers are get
ting today from 70 to 80 per cent
OF meat that ought TO be condemned
and destroyed.
"I have seen from 1900 to $500
pounds of lard spill and run into an
open sewer In the foor. the sewer
outlet quickly blocked, and ea!d lard
taken up from the floor and out of
the sewer, both OF which were uu-
clean and unsanitary; and Jour doc
tors passed same to the packers on
over the protest Of the inspectors
on that floor. and it went to the pub
tic market U. S. Inspected and pass
ed
Some Of the flthiest things imasi-
nable are practiced In the sausage
such as using bladders
sor casing without thorough washing
or cleaning, the use OF alth tripe IN
the use Of Shiny hog ston-
aches for casing or containers, the
useing Of meats that have fallen
on the floor and are taken up and
used without any pretense Of clean
Ing.
"These are all permitted by those
In charge. If an inspector calls their
attention to any Of the wrongs. he
Is told as was, that the people who
sAu such stun are too lazy to pre-
pare anything for themselves and
ought to have such stuff.
Il vii! give you another instance
that happened elsewhere. The meat
inspector in the department held
some 5000 or 1000 pounds Of cured
meats for being souI. and. mind you.
four or Eve other inspectors were
called in and they al pronounced the
meat sour. Your Dr.. Neadors re-
leased 1t to the packer.

very aTectionate towards their
mother.
In support of the suicide theory the
children turned over to the coroner
two-ounce bottle Of Iodine. half
empty, which they said their mother
bught Thursday. The bottle bears
the imprint Of ". C. McMillan's drug
store.
When fshed out of the we'll the
women was clad in two night gowns,
and the small amount of blood on
them gave rise to the suspicion that
the body was thus dressed after the
murder.
Eula Thompson stoutly maintains
to the coroner that she is good
girl. She went so far as to offer
to undergo any sort of examination
at the hands Of physician which
would satisfy the coroner that she
had always been a good woman.
She says she IS willing to do this
or most anything else to throw any
light on the mystery Of her mother s
murder or suicide, whichever 1t IS.
The dead woman suffered from
cancer Of the stomach, the children
say, and they believe she took her
own life on this account, because she
had been saying lately that il sic
could find q good way to kill her
self she would do It.
a theory of the police is that Med
lin committed the murder N fit OF
jealous rage, having caught Mrs
Griffin in company with another man
The children admit that Medlin SLEPT
in the same room with their mother
when he was boarding there. but they
deny there had been any quarrel be
tween the two. SO far as they are in
| formed. Medlin has been to the
house frequently up 70 within a week
of the murder, it is said.
Mrs. Grifip's son Walter. who say:
he slept in the same bed with hi;

years old. says his mother had {

A frenzied demonstration OF vel
come By the men IN grey for the son

viewing stand stood Gen. Frederick
Dent Grant. of the United States
! army.
The first few divisions in line pass
ed with only limited number rec
ogGizing the son Of the man who ac-
copied the surrender of Lee. But
finally cavalry division approached,
and Its commanding officer, Gen.
Tyler. Of Hickman. Ky, old and
grizzled, peered steadily at Gen.
Grant a moment. Then he turned
in his saddle and yelled:
Come on, you kids. here's Gen.
Grant come to life again in his SON.
With one Of the old-time rebel
yells, the division, remnants Of For
rests Cavalry, charged upon th
stand and jostled one another for an
opportunity to shake the hand Of
the sou Of their old-time enemy.
From that moment every grey-clad
Veteran who could reach the stand
rushed up to shake hands with Gen.
Grant. The stocky army officers
gray eyes filed with tears and hls
shoulders shook with emotion as he
nurmured: God bless you all.
boys. God bless you giving each
a cordial hand-graep.
Battle-torn banners were grouped
at his feet and waved over his head
in salute. One old officer rode up to
the stand. seized Gen. Grants hand
and kissed him on the cheek. ex-
claiming: "Gcd Olc.s you. boy, Z
fought your father, Of whom you are
the image, but he was gallant,
nagnaH;mous foe and ! ioi3 ais
SON."
More than one Veteran was in
tears as he saw the famous Fedora!

ception + IS doubtful If any other
Northern man, even President,

erans Thursday.

practically ended and Veterans spec

DOUBLE LYMCHlNG
TWO NEGROES HANGED AND
RIDDLED WITH SHOT.
They We're Charged With the Au,.
6s- OF Hg. Smoak anG Weeo Taken
From Officers Of tho Law.

A dispatch from Branchvilie to
The News aad Courier says at late
hour Friday night crowd Of about
one hundred farmers and other cit-
gems of Colleton county, took two
! negroes away from the officers Of the
law, hung them TO tree. near the
railroad track, and fred round after
| round into thier swinging bodies.
The negroes. who were killed were
Frank Samuels and Quillie Simmons.
and the crime for which death was
meted out to them vas the murder
on May 20 Of young Hr. Benjamin
Smoak. a member Of prominent
Colleton family, and merchant of
the town, which bears his name.
The dispatch says early Friday
night word was received at Branch
Vile from Snoak's stating that Con-
stable n. ID. Aaxey had arrested fou!
negroes who, 1t vas alleged, vera
concerned in the murder Of Mr..
Smoak. These four we're Frank
samuels, Quillie Simmons, Connie
Stokes and another whose name has
not been learned. It vii be remem-
bered that when Mr.. Smoak was
killed, just as he was closing his
store for the aight. the assassin. or
assassins. secured about ss5 in cash
and checks. It was these checks
which led to the arrest Of the four
negroes, two Of whom met death
Friday night at the hands OF the
mob.
Young Ben Minus stepped up be-
hind the stables OF Samuels, who
had farm about miles and a half
from the town of Smoak's and saw
him dividing the stolen money with
the other negroes. Minus inmedi-
atety returned, told what he had seen
and heard, and described tae hiding
place of the missing checks. A
prompt search led to the discovery
of the checks, and Constable MaSey
at once arrested Sanuels. Sub-se-
Quently the other negroes we're also
arrested, and the constable and his
assistants started with his prisoners
for Nalte,boro.
Meanwhile the mob had been gath
ering rapidly and silently, and before
long nearly a hundred determined
men had started in pursuit. The Of
fcers were overtaken near the rail-
road line and. being greatly out
numbered. they we're unable TO Of
fer effective resistance. The terri
fed negroes were seized. and the
leaders Of the mob questioned them
briefly as to their connection With the
killing Of Dir. sDoak. Two Of them
apparently managed to clear them
selves and were set free. samuels
and Simmons were then marched
to the railroad track. hanged to a
tree and their bodies riddled With
bullets.
At present everything IS Qulet. IL
Is not known whether Samuels and
Simmons confessed their guilt, after
falling into the hands Of the aveng-
ers, since the mob, as soon as It
completed It's work, scattered, and
those who took part IN the lynching
returned to their homes. 1t Is
known, however, that the town ne
groes had previously admitted that
they knew something about the erie,
though they swore that they did not
do the actual shooting Samueis
stated that he generally used No. 8
shot IN his gun, and shot OF that size
were found In MT. Smoak's body.
Both negroes bore evil regulations
