demonstration II a national labor strike
OF two weeks should be ordered on the
day Gompers goes to Jail, as a Phia-
delphia labor leader proposes. But If
the theory should prove accurate, 1t does
seem as IL the demonstration would be
a pretty expensive affair.

Train Was Rocked.

Williston, March Last night
about 9 o'clock while the passenger
train from Charleston to Augusta
was passing Reynolds, small station
between Blackville and Williston, a
rock came crashing through the
glass, breaking it into a hundred
pieces and striking on the left shoul-
der Mr.. Bates, who is travelling
salesman for the Drake-Innis Shoe
Company, of Charleston.
The coach was filled with passen-
gers at the time, many ladies and
children being on that side of the
car. The injury to Mr.. Bates was
slight, but had the rock entered the
window two feet higher it might
have been serious. It is to be hoped
that both the State and the railroad
authorities will use every effort to
capture and punish the villain, for
such lawlessness should not go un-
punished.

ran Pinson, on the charge of killing

fed that Pinson drew his pistol and
exclaimed: 81 am going to shoot
like hell" and fired twice, one shot
taking effect in the back of Boyce's
head, who at the time was sitting on
Pinson's lap. ALI the parties con-
cerned in the case are prominent
families and the case promises to be
the most sensational in the history
of Laurens.

SENATOR SMITH SWORN.
Took Oath of Office Tuesday Along
With the Others.

Washington, March 5.-South
Caroiina's new Senator, E. D. Smith,
took the oath of Office yesterday, and
Immediately entered upon the dis
charge of his duties. Promptly at
noon, he advanced to the vice presi-
dents desk, and there with many
other new men, took the solemn and
binding obligation of United States
Senator.
Senator Smith was welcomed to
the upper house and received hand
shakes from many of his newly made
colleagues on both sides of the
chamber. Many old South Carolin-
ians residing in Washington went to
the Senate to see him take the oath
of Office and to extend their con-
gratulations. He returned home to-
night, but will be, back in Washing
ton again when the extra session be-
gins on March Is. It is understood
that he will endeavor to get on the
committee on agriculture and
finance, but nothing definite can be
learned about this now.

"NIGHT RIDER" ESCAPES.
Hirschel Hogg, Confessed Member Of
Band, at Large.

Union City, Tenn, March T.
Hirschel Hogg, a confessed member
of the band. of might riders who
murdered Capt. Quentin Rankin at
Walnut Log in October, escaped from
jail at Dresden last night and has
not been recaptured. He is supposed
to be in hiding In the lake region.
The military at Fort Regan has been
notified and are instituting a vigor-
GUS search for the fugitive.
While Hogg was held close pris-
oner by Sheriff G. A. Brasfeld, he
had recently been accorded the liber-
ties of "trusty," and it is now be-
lieved that he was implicated in an
attack made on Sheriff Bradfield
Saturday night by a negro prisoner
with a razor in which the officer was
severely wounded. That he furnish
ed the weapon has been admitted by
the negro, and Hogg, believing that
he would again be thrown into close
confinement, made his escape before
the authorities took action in his
case.
The confessed night rider has not
been seen in the neighborhood Of
Union City since the news Of his es-
cape reached here. The soldiers here
and at Rankin barracks on the lake
have instituted a vigorous search for
him.

Hunter Case Appealed.

Chief Justice Y. J. Pope has stayed
the remittitur in the case of the
State VS.. G. w. Hunter, recently af-
firmed by the supreme court, for 80
days, upon petition of the defendant,
in order to give time to perfect an ap-
peal of the case to the supreme court
of the United States.
Hunter, who. was charged with
murder in the killing of Ebert F.
Copeland, in Laurens county, was
tried four. times in .Laurens, after
which the venue was changed to
Greenwood, where in February OF
last year he was convicted Of man
slaughter and sentenced to serve
eight years on the public works or in
the State penitentiary.
In his appeal to the supreme court
it was contended, among other
things, that the constitution or the
United States gave him the right to
be tried in the county where the al
legged offence was committed. Other
constitutional questions were raised.
The exceptions were overruled, how
ever, and the case was recently az
firmed.
Hunters attorney went before
Chief Justice Pope upon a petition
setting forth that in their appeal the
constitution and laws of the United
States were drawn in question, and
that the petitioner was desirous OF
having these questions passed upon
by the supreme court of the United
States. The petition prayed that the
remittitur be stayed to give defend
ant time to perfect his appeal.

BLACKS AND WHITES IN FRACAS

-
Wounding Of Two Participants.
St. Matthews, March 7.-There
was the usual Saturday night crowd
out of town, on the Monck's Corner
road last evening, when general
mix-up occurred among white and
black. It appears that there was
some dispute about the right of way,
which started the trouble.
The whole truth will probably not
be known until aired in the courts,
but a few facts seem established.
Louis Robinson, colored, was Sc
verely beaten over the head by P. B.
Hauser, white, with stick.
Sam milestone, colored, coming
up and supposing that his friend,
Robinson, had been disabled by W..
A. Walsh, white, made a ferocious
attack upon the latter with a knife,
cutting him deeply about the head
and left arm. The knife or razor
was evidently very sharp, as it cut
as smoothly as a surgeons instru-
ment through heavy overcoat to
the arm.
A physician was hastily summoned
to repair damages.

WILL NOT AFFILIATE.
Southern Masons Object to Action Of
New Jersey Grand Lodge. Ssl

New Jersey Grand Lodge.
Atlanta, Ca, March s.-Following
the action taken by the Masonic:
grand lodge of Masons of Mississippi
in severing all relations with the New
Jersey grand lodge, it is expected
that similar resolutions will be-
adopted at an early date by Masonic
bodies throughout the South. It has
been suggested that an indignation:
meeting be held in Atlanta to give
official expression to, the horror and
disgust felt by Dixie Masons at the,
action of the New Jersey lodge in ad-s
hitting negroes to membership. 1t 10
possible that such session may be-
called within the next few days,
Prominent Atlanta members Of the
fraternity declare that the Southern
lodges will secede from the national
organization rather than submit to-
sustaining fraternal relations with
colored Masons.
The trouble between the Missis-
sippi grand bodies and the New Jer-;
sey jurisdiction began August 22.
1908, when Grand Master William d.,
Wolfskeil, of Elizabeth, N. j., was;
written to asking if it we're true that
the New Jersey grand lodge affiliated
with negroes. To this letter the grand
master of New Jersey replied that
there was a negro lodge at Newark;

standing, and that there was no law

TO BE TRIED IN CHARLESTON.
Alleged Moonshiner, of Aiken Coun.
ty, Bound Over to Federal Court.

Aiken, March 7.-Henry Scott, a
white resident of the lower section OF
! Shaw's Fork, near Scott's Bridge,
!, has been carried before District Fed
eral Commissioner Remey, at Edge
field, and bound over to the Federal
court for trial, at Charleston, on the
9Th Of March. Scott is known by
the constables, revenue officers, and
county officers as tine King Blind
Tiger" and he is now under charge
of the Federal court ior alleged dis
tilling of whiskey without govern
ment license.
This charge grows out of a cap
ture of one of the largest blind tiger
stills ever hauled by the officers. The
raid was made last fall-August s.
and the still was captured by Officers
Cato and Samuels, the Aiken county
constables, near the residence of
Scott. No witnesses, other than
Messrs. Samuels and Cato, went to
Edgefield to testify at the prelimi-
nary hearing.
On a raid previous to the one
when the still was captured, Messrs.
by Sheriff Raborn. They made a
search in the swamps near Scott's
house, where they believed the still
was, and it is said that they were
followed into the swamp by Scott
and several negro men, whom the Of
ficers met as they were emerging
from the swamp. Upon meeting the
men, all of whom were armed with
guns, one negro drew a gun on OFF,
Ger Samuels, and was made to lower
it only upon threat Of death.
Bond was fixed, and Scott was re-
leased. A Mr.. Cook went upon his
bond. This case has attracted wide
spread attention. At the time Of the
capture of the still, great quantities
of mash were destroyed, and the
surroundings suggested the opera
ton of a mammoth still. Several
raids have since been made in that
section, and at one time large guam
titles of "stores" were destroyed.
The officers have been Informed that
Scott has continued his Illicit opera
tions ever since his alleged 'big
still" was demolished.
