Figures thaSeSe In cause all
thoughtful advocate the social
ed higher education among the ne
gro race to ponder yet little more,
have been compiled showing the
startling conditions that of the ne
groes incarcerated within South Car
olina State penitentiary those most
highly educated are serving the long
est sentences. The poor ignorant
negroes are imprisoned for the minor
crimes and offenses while the negroes
who have had a school or college
education are the life-timers and the
lover ten year" prisoners.
That this is the condition also in
the county chaingangs and on the
public works of the counties and in
the jaNs throughout the state is
the opinion of Commissioner E. j.
Watson, of the department of agri-
CULTURE, commerce and industries,
by which department the figures
were compiled.
Asked for an explanation of the
compilation and the possible rea-
sons for the condition shown to exist
Commissioner Watson stated Tues
day that the figures showed beyond
reasonable doubt that the academic
education is not the thing for the
negro. Commissioner Watson advo-
Gates education of the negro along
industrial lines and thinks that the
negro should also have sufficient
schooling to be able to keep the ac-
counts on the farm Summing up
the situation the commissioner said
that the proper education of the ne
gro is to further his usefulness in
the industrial world by means of
proper instruction in subjects that
tend to increase his manual eff
cheney.
The commissioner and his assist
ants had wide field to base their
compilations upon for there were
535 negro prisoners examined, of
this number 479 being males and 81
being females.
The total number of male life
prisoners is 256 of the negro race.
OF this number 10 read and write
without attending school. One hun
dred and seven attended the common
schools from one to ten years. Sew
enteen attended school less than one
year. Six attended college. The
summary shows 1913 who cannot
read and write ad 1873 who can read
and write.
OF the female colored prisoners
who are serving life sentence, the
total H.. None read and write
without attending school. Five at
tended common school / to 10 years
and none of those who attended
school did SO for one year or less.
Two of the life prisoners among the
colored women attended college.
There are four who cannot read and
write and who can read and write
A further analysis of these figures
shows that there is altogether 267
life termers of the 536 negro pris-
oners at the penitentiary, reforma-
tory and state farm. That of this
number 140 can read and write, 8
attended college and less than one
hole of tho total nurnber cannot
read and write.

Woman Is Arrested.
A dispatch from Walterboro says
that at Williams on Saturday night
at 10 o'clock Dr.. S. E. Kinsey was
shot and seriously wounded by Joe
Freeman, negro.
Saturday afternoon DR.. Kinsey's
son was standing at the door of the
store of Quinn Bros. when Lena
Freeman, negro woman, came up
the steps to enter the store door
and said to. Mr.. Kinsey: Some one
wants to come in" Mr. Kinsey step
ped out of the way and looking back
saw this negro woman.
He expected to see some white
woman enter, and jokingly remarked
that he thought it was somebody.
The negro took out knife from her
pocket and began to abuse Mr.. Kin
sey, who insisted that she hush and
stated to her that he did not mean
any harm by the remark, which was
jokingly made.
She continued her abuse and left
the store shortly, and going to her
home, returned with her husband,
Joe Freeman, she carrying a gun.
Mr.. Kinsey was informed of this
fact and went to his home and re-
turned with his gun, which he put
in Mr.. Brabham's store. His father
hearing of this came over to the
store aand instructed his son to put
the gun up and go to Magistrate Will
son and take out warrant for the
negroes and have them arrested.
This Mr.. Kinsey did and turned the
warrant over to Constable MaXey,
who went over to Williams to make
the arrest. Maxey appointed DR..
Kinsey and others as special con-
stables to aid him in making the
arrest.
The party proceeded to the home
of the Freemans, but just before
reaching it, they were Informed that
Joe Freeman was back at the store
of Quin Bros. with his gun. They
returned to the store and attempted
to arrest him, who seeing the party
approach ran. They went back to
the home, where the woman was ar
rested. After securing her they
started to leave and Joe Freeman
appeared behind a clump of bushes
near the house crying: Get out of
there
AT the same time he shot into the
crowd, the shot taking effect just
above DR.. Kinsey's hip. The negro
then made his escape into the dark
ness. DR.. .Kinsey was taken back
home and was attended. 1t was
found that the gun had been loaded
with slug, but fortunately the load
produced only painful flesh wounds.
Efforts were made Sunday morn
ing to catch Freeman and he was
seen several times by the pursuing
party, but owing to the thickness OF
the underground in the bays near
Williams, he has so far eluded cap
ture.

Defence in Trial Of Loriner Says Testi-
mony Necessary Submitted.
WHOLLY UNEXPECTED
States Attorney Wylnan in Argu-
lnent to the Jury Says Murderers
Can Go Unpunished, but There is
No Justification for Bribery
Defendant VIII Not Testify.

Precludirg the possibility OF the
defendant going upon the Stand in
his own behalf, counsel say and
shutting out all testimony that Sem
ator William Lorimer might have to
offer in denial of the charge that his
seat in the United States senate was
purchased, lawyers for Lee O'Neill
Browne abruptly rested their. case in
the criminal court at Chicago at noon
Tuesday.
The sudden move of the defense in
the alleged legislative bribery trial
was wholly unexpected. More than
fifty witnesses for the defense were
thus excluded from the records OF
the case. Several of these in addi-
tion to Browne and Senator Lorimer
we're considered of Importance to the
defense. Among them was Lieuten-
ant Governor John G. Oglesby-
1t is said that Brownies counsel
believe their case stands or falls
upon whether the jury is willing to
accept the testimony. of Representa-
tive Charles A. White. who made the
first confession and delivered the
principal testimony in the alleged
bribery scandal.
Attorney w. S. Forest, who has
led the defense of Browne, has insist
ed from the beginning that he is not
concerned materially over the out
come in the criminal court; that he
has made out legal case for his
clie..t to stand on in a higher. court.
In this connection MIR. Forest said
at the close of COURT.
:'We have submitted: all the testi-
Inony that we believed necessary.
We wanted chiefly character witness
es to support the defendant as be-
lieving that after what the jury heard
about White. his Testimony would
have no weight" 3, -.
States Attorney ..Wyman. how
ever, takes another view of the pro-
ceeding. He says that Browne and
ibis lawyers fear to allow the case to
be probed further, that even with
their own witnesses they dare not
take chance cf an unexpected stop.
Although Mr.. Wyman began his
closing argument to the jury COM
paratively early in the afternoon, he
had not finished when court was ad-
journed for the day. Mr.. Wyman
said in part. >. ~
"Murderers can. go, ,,pnpunished.
larceny is. often excused by the law,
and man may go out, in the night
and rob to feed a starvig family;
but there is no justification for brib-
cry. 1t cannot go Anpunished.
The fact that over fifty Demo-
Gratis voted for sepator .I.orimer,
Republican. shows in itself that there
was bribery. Representative White
was thus bribed',to elect: a member
to the only body: in our federal gov
ernment that can declare war or eff
feet peace for the millions Of our
population -, =:
1T was "a. gigantic moment for
Browne the minority leader. when
he tried to elect Lorimer;. If he had
failed, what amends could he have
made to his constituents? AS long
as he succeeded the Democrats could
go back to their constituents and
make some sort. of. apology because
he had succeeded"
