Negro 'Knights" Stop Riot.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. a.
Swinging their swords above the
heads of the belligerents and declar-
ing that unless the trouble ceased
they would use them, company of
negro knights of Pythias" today
prevented what promised to be race
riot during a parade of the supreme
lodge of the negro knights of Pyth-
ias."
The trouble began when S. W. Jar
Doe, laundryman, accompanied by
his wife, drove through the parade
of 5000 negro knights" at Twelfth
and Central streets. Several negroes
not in the line of march seized the
bride of the horse.
You can't pass here" they shout
ed.
Mrs. Jarboe seized a whip and
struck at the men. Instantly hun
dred excited negroes crowded about
the wagon. One wrested the whip
from the woman, striking her a num-
Der of times and infiicting painful
bruises.
Many white men rushed to the aid
Of the laundryman. A riot call was
sent to the police headquarters, but
before the police arrived the armed
knights" had restored order.

ENDS HER LIFE.
Mrs. j. X. FAINT, Aged 60, Takes Car
bOlic Acid.

Campobello, Aug. 30.-Mrs. J. K.
FAINT, aged so years, committed sui
eide here today by drinking half an
ounce of carbolic acid. No cause is
ascribed for the deed other than the
dead woman had been suffering for
some months from dementia. She
had been carefully watched but took
advantage of the fact that her daugh-
er, Miss Bessie FAINT, left her alone
for a short time today. That the
suicide was premeditated was shown
by the fact that the windows and
doors were carefully closed and a
rude pallet prepared on which Mrs.
FAINT was found dead.
She was the wife Of Baptist
preacher who died about 10 years
ago. She leaves three daughters,
Mrs.. VIM. Cobb, of Wilmington, N.
c., Mrs. Mcmillan, of Brunswick, N.
c., and Miss Bessie FAINT of this
place.
The inquest was held this after
noon by Magistrate Poole, Corner
Turner being i'll and unable to leave
home. The verdict of the jury was
that the deceased came to her death
by self-poisoning.
The funeral will be held tomor-
row at the Baptist church, conduc-
ted by Rev. C. T. Scaife.

Farming of the Future.

Indications point to remarkable
enhancement Of agriculture in the
next few years. Nearly all Of the
once vast tracts of public lands have
passed to private ownership. Cheap
lands of real value are practically a
thing of the past. Gradually farms
are being reduced in size and farmed
more intensively. This tendency
will increase with the growing den-
sity of population.
The increased cost Of living, which
grows more and more burdensome, is
becoming an intense problem in the
cities, and this is beginning to have
the effect of driving the poorer
classes back to the soil. National
life is undergoing an evolution, too,
that promises to give agriculture
more Importance with each passing
year.
The boy of to-day who studies ag-
riculture closely and acquires land is
making the best of preparation for
the future. There lies the only ap-
proximation of independence in the
future.

MUST SERVE SENTENCE.
Florida Men Convicted of Peonage
Taken to the Atlanta Prison.

Pensacola, Aug. 26.-The action
taken by President Taft in commu-
ting to six months each the terms of
Imprisonment imposed upon w. S.
Harlan, manager of the Jackson
Lumber company. S. E. Higgins and
C. G. Hilton of the company, who
were convicted in the federal court
here three years ago on charges of
conspiracy to commit peonage, was
tonight communicated by Attorney
General Wickersham to Special AS
sistant Attorney General Reese of
this city. The attorney general di-
rected that the supreme courts
mandate in this case be filed imnne-
diately and that the sentences be

1t is expected that the United
States marshal will leave for the
Atlanta federal prison Monday

well as DR.. Grace and c. Gallagher,
two other officers of the lumber
company who were convicted at the
same time and whose sentences as
imposed by the court were not les

Tillman Offers Mileage.

Rock Hill, Aug. 27.-Your cor
respondent is informed that on last
Saturday while Senator Ben R. Till
man was on his way to Heath
Springs he had a mixup with the
ticket collector on the train on, which
he was passenger.
1t seems that Senator Tillman
went out to Winthrop college and
stayed a little longer that he expect
ed to, so when he arrived at the
station he did not have time to buy
a ticket and boarded the train with
out it. When the collector came
around Uncle Ben pulled his mile
age on him and the collector balk-
ed, saying he could not take it. The
senator informed him he would have
to put him off as he did not have
time to change for ticket and that
he had paid for the mileage and if
he could not take it he could just put
him off. Our informant would not
state whether the collector took the
mileage or not, but at any rate the
senator rode on to Heath Springs
ind made his speech there that day.

BUD MULLIGAN SURRENDERS.
Spartanburg Policeman. Charged
With Burglary, Surrenders.

spartanburg, Aug. 26.-F. R. Null
ligan, better known as BUD Null
ligan, the police officer charged with
burglary, surrendered to Sheriff
White tonight at $3.50 o'clock. He
was taken before Magistrate Wet
more and bond was arranged in the
sum of $1,000, made good by
Mayor John F. Floyd and Mr.. T. A.
Green.
Mulligan, a police officer and act
ing sergeant, was caught by Police
man Rice w. Nolen at the cash
drawer in DuPre's book store at $3.50
o'clock Tuesday morning, chased out
and arrested in an alleyway to the
rea of the store. He was taken be-
fore Mr.. Warren DuPre, the pro-
prietor of the book store, and Mayor
J. F. Floyd by Officer Nolen, but
Mr.. DuPre, feeling sorry for Multi
gan's family, agreed to let him go
free provided he left the State. IN
chasing Mulligan, Officer Nolen fired
upon him and Mulligan in return
fired on his pursuer.
The citizens were indignant when
they learned Tuesday morning that a
police officer, sworn to keep the law,
had been turned loose after being
caught in the very act of pilfering
the cash drawer of one of the city's
most prominent business places,
which he had entered with a skele-
ton. key. The Law and Order
league, of which Judge G. w. Mich
oils is president, met and discussed
A. NO.
superintendent of the city schools,
one of the most prominent members
of the Law and Order league, went
before Magistrate Wetmore Wednes-
day afternoon and swore out war
rant for Mulligan, charging him
with housebreaking. The warrant
was placed in the hands of Sheriff
White and efforts were at once in
stituted to apprehend and arrest the
man.
The frequent conferences today be-
tween Sheriff White, Mr.. T. A. Green
and Mr.. Warn, Mulligan's son-in-law,
gave rise to the belief that Mulligan
would surrender and his giving him
self up tonight was not wholly sur
prise.
Mulligan went to the court house
tonight shortly after 9 o'clock. He
was expected, and Sheriff White,
Moss Hays, Chief of Police Hall,
Mayor Floyd and T. A. Green were in
waiting for him. Mulligan stated to
the sheriff that he had intended to
leave the State as he had promised
to do, but, hearing that warrant
had been sworn out for him, he
thought it best to conform to the
law.
After short conference, Mulligan
was taken before Magistrate Wet
more and bond was arranged in the
sum of $1,000, Mayor Floyd and T.
A. Green standing surety.
The news of Mulligan's surrender
spread rapidly and in few min
utes it was the talk on every street
corner. Mulligan was for six or eight
years a member of the police force
and is perhaps one of the best known
characters in the city.

Shopping in Sassafras.

Mrs. Maude Darrell Hoffman, a pi-
oneer of country week work, was
praising in Hartford the country va
cation.
"A country vacation is better than
a seashore one," she said. "You see
things so much quainter. and the
further into the country you go, the
quainter becomes the things you see.
II once spent August in village
called the Head of Sassafras, a vii
lage down in Maryland. The post
Office there was the general store.
The morning after my arrival I went
to the general store for my mail.
"A little girl preceded me with an
egg in her hand.
Gimme an eggs worth of tea,

sugar, too, for the black hens a.

LIGHTNING CAUSES DAMAGE.
Kills a Horse and Three Mules il
Lancaster County.

Lancaster, Aug. 3O.-The terrific
storm of rain, thunder and lightning
which swept over this town last
night was particularly severe in Flat
Creek township. At Taxahaw horse
and two mules were killed by light
ming on the grounds Of the Baptist
church just as services in the build
ing were concluded. A mule in a
stable nearby was also killed. A
negro woman standing in door was
knocked down and rendered uncon-
scious for some time. In the same
township, near Union church, the
dwelling of Mr.. James Hanson was
struck by an electric bolt, shocking
one of his children and killing his
dog on the porch. Near Pleasant
Hill the residence of Mr.. Cole was
struck and badly damaged, but no
one was hurt.

LYNCHING IN GEORGIA.
Soperton, Ca, Posse Becomes Angry
Mob.

Soperton, Ca, Aug. 27.-Two ne
groes lynched and posse in pursuit
of the wife of one of the victims, the
killing of a prominent planter,
member of the posse, the probable
fatal injury Of the sheriff of Mont
gomery county and the wounding Of
four other members Of the posse,
summarizes the result of one of the
most exciting man hunts this section
has ever known.
Ben Clarke, an escaped convict
from the Bibb county chaingang, was
shot to death after a fierce battle
early today and his body burned. The
negro threatened to kill Nicholas
Adams, a merchant of Kibbe, "and
hundred Others"
John Sweeney, who harbored the
ex-convict, was taken from a pass
enger train a mile from Tarrytown
tonight and lynched.
The posse then set out in search of
Sweeney's wife, who, it is said, was
in the neighborhood.
James burden, prominent plant
er and member of the posse which
captured Clark, was shot and instant
ly killed. The other members Of the
posse who were shot by Clark were:
Sheriff James Lester, Walter Sim
mons and three others unknown. The
officer received an ugly wound in the
breast.
The posse found Clark in Sweeney's
house. Sweeney's wife was at home,
but Sweeney was absent. The sheriff
called to Clark to surrender. For
answer he received a 44-calibre bull
let fired from a rapid fire gun. Dur
den was shot and other members of
the posse fell before the torrent of
lead dealt by the negro. He con-
tinued to fire until his ammunition
was exhausted. He was then over
powered and his body riddled with
bullets. He wore steel breast plate
that turned Winchester bullets. A
pile of logs was covered with crude
turpentine and the body cremated.
In the excitement the woman escaped.
The events of the day fired the
spirit of the posse and it is said she
cannot escape the search that is be-
ing instituted tonight.
Sweeney was caught near here late
this afternoon. He was carried
aboard a north bound train to a &C.
cluded wood near Tarrytown where
his body was riddled with bullets
after being swung up to a sapling.

Preacher After Cigarette Folks.

Durham, N. c., Aug. 27.-The
Rev. Abe Mulkey broke all evangel-
istic precedents here tonight when he
gave the tobacco interests terrific
drubbing and shouted stentorially,
'swhen ever I see cigarette feel
like have met young devil fresh
from hell" He had started his SER
mon against dancing, and as he was
depicting the scene Of Aaron's fol-
lowers dancing about the golden
call, he burst into his charge, "and
the golden calf in this town are these
great tobacco factories. There are
ten thousand people hobnobbing with
them and bowling every time they
meet one of the crowd. Did you get
that-whiskey first and tobacco
next? Have you got any sense? I
visited the factory today and saw
a machine turning out six hundred
every minute. I do believe 1 hate a
cigarette worse than anything on this
earth. I would rather meet a young
devil fresh from hell than one Of
these things. You preachers may
be afraid to preach against these
things, but when Abe Mulkey comes
to the place where he can't cry aloud
and spare not, then he'll hang up
the receiver. He will ask God to
take him to Heaven and stop this
thing here. But if you are afraid
to preach my doctrine, you can say
amen. A preacher generally preach
es about as high as he lives. Amt
that a good time to say amen, mis-
ter president (the presiding elder,
the Rev. J. B. Hurley said it, The
trouble is some of US have got
wealthy too quick. We have an au-
tomobile or two, build a big house,
put a great sunburst and great
necklace upon our wives. When
preachers used to come to Corsicana
and preach against the sinful rich,
if was afraid to say the same thing,
I said amen" This was the first
time the tobacco interests had ever
really been smitten here. The Incl
dent caused a deal of comment to-
night.

MAY KILLS DR.. TIDWELL.
JOHNSTON MAN DEAD AT HANDS
OF BROTHER-IN-LAW.
1t is Said That Titwen Had Chastis-
ed His Wife and That Led Up to
the Homicide.

Edgefield, Aug. 26.-Dr. Charles
Titwell was shot and killed by his
brother-in-law, Yancey NJ. May, at
Johnston this morning about 9
o'clock. The weapon used was a
shotgun. The deceased received two
wounds, one little to the left of the
backbone on the left side and the
other in the shoulder. DR.. Titwell
lived about 80 minutes after he was
shot, and it is said that he made
an ante-mortem statement to DR.. B.
L. Allen, but what it was has not
been disclosed.
From the testimony taken at the
inquest it appears that the deceased
and his wife had had some trouble
yesterday, during which he chastised
her; that she left and went to her
brother-in-law's house and the de-
ceased went there this morning and
endeavored to get her to return home
which she refused to do. During his
stay Mr.. May and DR.. Titwell got
into an alteration, during which
time Mrs. Titwell left and went to a
neighbor's house.
The deceased then came back into
the street and was going in pur-
suit of his wife, when Mr.. May ap-
peared on the scene with a shotgun,
the contents of which he emptied
into the body of DR.. Titwell.
The shooting occurred some dis
tance from the house of Mr.. May,
and as yet it is not known what the
deceased was doing at the time he
received his mortal wound.
Titwell is from Newberry county
and has only lived in Johnston a
short while and, it is said, bore an
unenviable reputation and had fire.
quently maltreated his wife.
81 Mr.. May is one Of Johnston's best
citizens and claims that the killing
was entirely justifable and unavoid-
able. Mr.. May has surrendered to
the sheriff and will apply for bail at
once before Judge DeVore here.
Titwell's remains were sent to his
home in Newberry. The sad affair is
deeply deplored by all.

S. W. Roth. editor Of the Retailers

s. W. Roth. editor Of the Retailers
Journal, of Chicago, was one OF the
speakers before the retail grocers at
Davenport Iowa. last week. He plead
ed with the retailers to use the nsws-
papers Of their home cities more gen.
erously than they have been doing.
"See what the mail order houses and
department stores are doing in the
way of Advertising" Mr.. Roth said.
"The Retailers are building up the
mail order houses by their negligence.
They are building up the business that
is right at their own doors for the mail
order houses. The narrowness that
exists among retailers is due to the
fact that everyone is afraid to help
the other man. Ny position is that it
is without helping yourself. The way
to control the home trade and prevent
it going to the large centers is to use
the home newspaper; to advertise not
one day, but every day."
