Augusta. Ga, May 24.-Early to-
day Albert Aiken, a negro, was TAX
en- from the jail at Lincolnton, Lin
coin County, Ga, and swung to a
tree at Dry Fork Creek, three miles
from Lincolnton. The body was fill
ed with bullets. Upon the body was
pinned this placard: Notice: This

Lincoln County under similar cir
cumstances. (Signed) Regulators"
Aiken cut John Spires, a white far
mer, Thursday morning. Spires con-
dition grew worse and he is now re-
ported dying. The white people in
Lincoln say that negro secret socie-
ties are being formed for illegal acts
and the Inference is that by the
lynching it is hoped to awe the ne

We can't see how the Southern
Democrats can offer any excuse to the
public for voting with the Sugar
Trust for a high duty on sugar. It
is one of the necessities of life, and a.
commodity that the rich and the poor
use alike, and high duty on 1t is in
excusable, and especially is 1t mex
cusable on the part of the Democratic
contingency in Congress who have
heretofore claimed they favored a
revision of the tariff downward.

The Father of Quintuplets.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 24.-"Is it a
boy or a girl?" John Hale, of Cola
mer, asked the nurse.
-Four of them are boys and one is
a girl" was the answer that made
John Hale gasp.
The quintuplets were all perfectly
formed and seemingly healthy. In
the absence of sufficient natural nour-
fshment, however. it became neces-
sary to administer cows milk and
three of them died as the result. The
two survivors are doing 'fine."

SUGAR DUTIES TAKEN UP.

Especial to The Caucasiano

Especial to The Caucasian.
Washington, D. C. May 25.-In
view of the fact that the Senate COM
m1ttee On finance feels forced to make
further amendments to the lumber
schedules, the portion of that sched-
ule which has not been acted upon
was passed over today by the Senate,
and the sugar schedule taken I'D.
Nineteen Democratic Senate in
Guiding Senators Simmons and Over
man, voted for the prohibitive rates
on lumber, in the face of their party
pledges.
The committee on finance had
made no important amendment to
the House provisions for the protec-
ton of sugar, but it was evident from
the time that the schedule was mem
tloned 1t would be made the subject
OF much discussion. The schedule
was taken up at o'clock on the sug-
gestion of Senator Aldrich.
Senator Foster was the first to he
heard on the subject. Although a
Democrat, he made a plea for the
protection of the sugar industry.
Asking that the same consideration
De accorded sugar In the tariff hill
as Is given other industries, he smoke
at length In favor of sustaining the
duties on raw and refined sugar as
passed by the House and recommend
ed by the committee on finance.
1t is not believed here that the
North Carolina Senators will dare TO
vote 1or the rate demanded by the
Sugar Trust. They had some little
excuse as to lumber, though they will
nave none as to sugar, and other
equally indefensible schedules from
Democratic standpoint.

noon adopted resolutions favoring
the active cooperation of State and
Nation in the construction of post

With practically unanimity the

ticular State using such an appropri-
alton shall expend an equal amount
