NIGHT RIDERS ON RAMPAGE.
Negro Killed in Georgia and Negro
Church Burned.

Augusta, Ga, January 26.-Fol-
lowing the killing, in Columbia coun-
ty, this State, Monday night of Dan
Lamkin, a negro seventy years of
age, by night riders and the burning
of a negro church in the same vicinl-
ty, three negro property owners of
that section came to Augusta to-day
and turned their lands over to real
estate agents for sale. Negro crop
pers are coming in to say to cotton
merchants that they must give up
trying to farm in Columbia county.
Law officers say the church burning
was accidental. The negroes say
differently. These acts follow the
murder of Mr.. Zach Kendrick, we'll
to-do farmer of Columbia county,
some time ago. julie Lamkin, col
ored, son of the man slain Monday
night, is in Jail in Augusta, he hav-
ing confessed the Kendrick killing.
He denies that his father has any
connection with that murder.

POSTOFFICE FIGHT BREWING.
Vacancy at Barnwen Due to Death Of
Mrs. E. A. Nixon.

Washington, January ga live
ly fight is ahead over the filling of
the Barnwell postoff1ce, due to the
death day or two ago of Mrs. E. A.
Nixon. For some time there has
been a feeling among some of the
patrons of the Barnwell Office that
there should be change, but fear
ing that they might be given an Off
cial who would prove obnoxious, 1t
was thought best to take no steps to
oust Mrs. Mixson. Her death there
fore will prevent what, eventually,
would have been warm political
fight, as she would undoubtedly
have brought several strong Northern
Senators to her rescue had the plan
of ousting her had been carried out.
It is learned here to-day that there
are already two candidates in the
field for the vacancy, Willie Duncan
and S. B. Moseley. AS soon as pos
sible Postmaster General Hitchcock
will name Mrs. Mixson's successor.

DISPENSARY FUNDS TIED UP.
Attorney Genral Secures Injunction
to Prevent Payment of Claims.

Columbia, January 27.-In order
to secure the county dispensary funds
that were recently tied up pending
the settlement of State dispensary
claims an injunction returnable Feb
ruary Z has been secured by Attor-
ney General Lyon and associate coun-
sci before Judge Prince. In the Or
der are named the various accounts
that are sought to be tied up by in
junction. The county boards are
by the order enjoined from paying
out any of the funds. 1t Is also un-
derstood that the Injunction is neces-
sary because although papers have
been filed instituting suits against
firms for the recovery Of overjudg-
ments by some means, all formalities
necessary to attachment have not
been accomplished.
William Lanahan & Sons are the
hard hit firm Of the trio, against
whom suits are filed. This firms
overjudgment is s23,563.46, and in
the county dispensary accounts is
tied up $21,732.99. Charleston
county owes this firm s10,023.0S,
and the remainder of the county
funds are in other counties.

The Arm of the Law.

In a certain Canadian city a lady
was defending an action for a large
sum of money which she felt she
was not morally entitled to pay.
When it looked as If the case would
20 against her she sold all her real
estate and put the proceeds, some
$4,000 or more, in her pocketbook
which in her case, as Is the Gus
tom with some women, was her
stocking. The judgment was given
against her, and because she would
not pay or tell where the money
was she was sent to Jail for year.
Her counsel tried to get her released.
The following conversation formed
part of the proceedings:
"You admit" said the judge, that
this woman had property to the value
of s15,OOO?"
Eyes, your honor" said the coun-
sci.
"And you admit that she sold the
property and put the money in her
stocking?"
Eyes, my lord"
"And do you mean to tell me that
the arm Of the law is not long en-
ough to reach it,"

In the struggle that ensued, one OF
the negroes snatched Mr.. Boyer's
pistol from his hand and shot him,

Saturday afternoon on the charge of

BIG PLANT FOR GREENVILLE.
One Costing 100000 to be Erected
by Southern Power Company.

Charlotte N. c., January 26.-The
largest steam plant in the Southern
States is to be erected by the South
ern Power Company, Of this city, at
Greenville, S. c., for the purpose of
generating electric power with which
to supplement the power secured
from it's various hydro-electric de-
velopments during low water in the
Catawba River, and for use in emer-
gencies. A tremendous amount of
power has been sold by the company
in Greenville and Immediately around
that city, and this determined the To-
cation of the plant.
A site for the proposed plant con-
tanning twenty acres has already
been purchased, and work will begin
on the power house at once. The
boilers, electrical machinery and
other equipment have been ordered
during the past few days. Work on
the plant will be pushed as rapidly
as possible 80 as to have it ready
for operation before the period of
low water in the river next fall.
The total cost of the new plant,
which will be far the largest of its
kind in the South, and probably one
of the half dozen largest in America,
will be over 100000. Definite an
nouncement of the plans of the COM
pany were made known to-day. 1t
is planned to start work on the plant
within the next three or four weeks.
Mr.. w. S. Lee Jr., is president of the
company.

WAR ON HIGH PRICES.
Anti-Food Trust League Assumes
National Proportions.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.-The
spread of the influence of the Ma
tional Antitrust League is the most
significant development of the day
in connection with the general fight
against high prices charged to the
consumer for the necessaries of life.
Until to-day, with the SINCE excep-
ton of State organization in Della
ware, the League was confined almost
exclusively to this city. Arrangements
were completed this morning for the
appointment of several State direc-
tors. Membership in the organiza-
ton from this time forward is ex-
pected to grow rapidly.
c.. w. Bateman, Of Atlanta, was

pointed State director for North

Loses Granary and Stable.

Denmark, Jan. 27.-A large gran
ary and stable combined, belonging
to DR.. S. D. M. Guess on his planta-
ton adjoining the town of Denmark
was consumed by fire this morning at
10 o'clock. Large quantities of hay,
fodder, oats, and peas were Destroy
ed, entailing loss of several thous-

started from cigarette or pipe care
lessly handled by one of the laborers.
The direction of the wind at the time
could not have been more favorable
as the settlement embraced a number
of farm buildings in close proximity
to the dwelling.

Washington, Jan. 29.--"1t is cold

White House office and brushing the
snow flakes from his long grey beard.
And he is the only president that l
was ever afraid Of, he added, re-
ferring to President Taft, whose Office
he had just quilted. The senator ex-
planned his remark by stating that
President Taft by his geniality and
radiant good nature had made so deep
an impression upon the people Of
Mississippi during his visit to that
State last fall that it was feared he
might capture the State from the
Democracy.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 27.-Carrie Ma
ton of Kansas, heavyweight cham
pion hatchet wielder of the world,
and Mrs. May Maloy, keeper of a
dance hall, fought one round last
night before large crowd. A knock
out was prevented by the spectators,
who stopped the fight after Mrs. Ma
ton had landed a vigorous right to
Mrs. Maloy's jaw. The fight was de-
clared a draw.
A large crowd followed Mrs. Ma
ton through the red light quarter
last night. The curious surged into
Mrs. Maloy's dance hall and listened
to a scathing denunciation of a photo
graphic oil painting that hung on the
wall.
Mrs. Nation finally made a gesti-
culation similar to the movement one
might describe in throwing toma-
hawk. Mrs. Maloy, fearing that Mrs.
Nation was about to destroy the
painting, screamed TRADE against
the crusader and sailed into Mrs
Nation with both fists.
Before Carrie could defend her
self, May had torn off her bonnet and
pulled her hair, keeping her attack
well above the belt. Mrs. Nation
after having been figuratively rushed
to the ropes, ducked vicious left
sent a left to the ribs and then land
ed a vigorous right on Mays jaw
