Not the Real Article.

Rider Haggard was travelling across
the United States as the guest of John
Hays Hammond in Hammond's pri-
7ate car.
what I want to see," said Hag-
gard, "is the real tramp. haven't
seen one since I reached this country.
I can't believe you have as many as
has been stated to be the case"
Harris Hammond, the eldest son Of
John Hays, promised:
"I'll show you one at the next stop"
He had seen one riding On the
trucks under the car, and at the next
station he went down and called the
hobo out. When the tramp entered
the car he vas covered with c.nders
and dust and looked like something
from the lower regions.
Hammond shook hands with him
and introduced him, saying:
"This is Mr.. Rider Haggard."
rider Haggard!" exclaimed the
hobo. "Why, I've read oil Of your
books, and loved every one OF them"
Then he sat down and discussed
literature with Haggard for half an
hour. At the end of the talk Harris
took him back, let him get some Of
the dust and cinders off and handed
him a good cigar.
"That fellows not tramp" said
Haggard. Hes a gentleman in dis

Ship Subsidy.

Ship subsidy legislation is one Of
the things regarding which Presidezt
Taft is going to insist this sessisa.
The bill will first be rushed through
the senate, before the holidays, If pos
sible. Then it will be sent to the house
in an effort to get it through there.
Just what form it will take, no one yet
knows, though it may be attached as a
rider" to the postofhce appropriation
or some other measure Of the same
kind. 1t is not believed that straight
out bill advocating such scheme
would pass this winter, and unless it
should get through before March 4, it
may bh considered absolutely dead
hereafter with Democratic house as
it's guardian. Therefore it stands to
reason that President Taft will urge
upon leaders in both bodies of, con-
gress at an early date that they lose
no time in getting this measure
through and ready Tor his signature
if it is possible to do so.
Just as soon as the president is able
to shake the dust of his Panama trip
off and adjust himself to conditions
that have arisen since the election,
definite announcement is expected and
this will serve as line of policy that
the administration will probably fol-
low during the coming short session
The president left Washington before
the smoke of the election had cleared
away and though he knows in a gen
era1 way what the situation is there
are many small details with which he
is yet unfamiliar. r..

Soldiers On Skates.

In the Norwegian army there is a
corps Of infantry which can cover a
distance Of eighty miles in a days
march. This extraordinary record,
which equals the performance of the
best-trained cavalry in Europe, is only
possible because every man in the
corps is a highly trained skater and
when in marching trim is provided
with specially constructed pair of
skates.
The corps can be manoeuVred with
extraordinary rapidity. The heels OF
the skates are so shaped as to enable
the men to spin round as if on a
pivot at the word Of command. AS
matter Of fact, they can perform
fright about face" far more quick
ly than any crack regiment Of infan-
try.
The evolution of the corps are ma
turally confined to the great fords
which indent the coast Of Norway
and during the long winter season
are frozen solidly over. For patrol
and scout duty these soldier skaters
Will be of the greatest service should
Norway ever go to war The men Of
the corps are the pick Of a skating
nation, and their commander was once
the champion skater of his country

sUNCLE JOE'S' TIME SHORT.
Speaker Prepares For Last Period OF
Reign in Three Months Of G. o.
P. Congress.

Washington, Nov. 24-"Uncle Joe''
Cannon, who is to lay down the reins
Of government in the house on March
4, next is about ready to leave his
Illinois home for Washington to get
things in order for what remains OF
the 61st congress.
Speaker Cannon is expected t, reach
Washington about December 1, and
when he arrives he will confer with
Senator .Aldrich and President Taft
concerning the legislative programme
in Congress for the next three months.
About the time ''Unc1e Joe'' gets
here, Senator Hale, chairman of the
senate Republican caucus, and the
head of the senate appropriations
committee, will also get to Washing
ton ready to take up the work of the
session. Although both house and
senate leaders probably have their
own ideas as to how legislation this
winter shall be conducted, it will de-
pend largely upon President Taft as
to what policy shall be pursued. 1t
is realized that unless the regulars
and insurgents cooperate, at least to
a certain extent, it Win be impossible
to do anything but pass the regular
appropriation bills in as much as there
are but about sixty working days in
the three months session. There are
twelve big supply bills to be framed
up in committee, considered, and then
placed before the house for debate
before they can be passed.
Tariff Talk.
So far as the tariff is concerned, the
Republican leaders who are getting
here do not look for the Democrats to
do much in the way Of revision when
they take control of the house. While
there is a great deal Of talk about re-
vising the schedules, there is little ex-
pectation that it will be done for the
reason that the tariff board is not yet
ready to report it's conclusions. The
wool schedule has been most talked
about for revision this winter, but the
tariff board is still working away on 1t
to find out what are the facts, though
it is not (hkely that its findings will
be ready for several months. AIS
to the cotton schedule, the tariff board
has just fairly begun its investiga-
tions. It has been looking around
for experts on cotton, some Of whom
are to be called before the board as
witnesses. It has secured valuable
expert counsel and wi, it is believed,
obtain much information as to the
workings of the new cotton duties.
It is believed that the tariff board
will have before it a powerful show
ing Of facts to prove that the new
cotton duties are operating to effect
enormous increases in rates on cot
ton fabrics.
AS to both the voollen and cotton
schedules, there is little question that
the board will report in favor Of low
ering the duties. The board wants its
report, when submitted to President
Taft, to be complete, and as accurate
as human skill can make it, SO that
there is every raoson to believe that

Victim Attempted Assault FomeYeah Girl Whose Head Was Almost Severed From
The Body-A Thousand Determined And Armed Men On The Scene
The Details OF The Tragedy

Dead, but with the attempted as
sault unaccomplished, the fourteen
year-old girl child Of father and
mother living two hundred yards be-
low the Newberry line on the Lexing-
ton side lies this morning, and the
negro who attempted the assault is
dead, speedy vengeance having been
meted out to him, after his confession.
A Thousand Men Gather.
There were thousand men gather
ed at the home Of the father and
mother of the victim on Friday night.
They were there for the purpose OF
finding out who had committed
6endish assault, and for putting
speedy end to the man who should be
adjudged guilty.
The Body Found.
At about $50 o'clock on Friday aft
ernoon q. fourteen-year-oId girl was
found dead near the entrance to the
cellar of her fathers home. Her
throat had been cut from ear to ear,
and the back of her neck had been
cut, her head being almost severed
from the body. About an hour later
DR.. J. NJ. Sease viewed the remains.
There were the marks of the fend's
fnger-prints upon her neck, and the
circumstantial evidence coincided with
the confession later made by the
negro.
The father of the victim lives some
distance from Little Mountain, off to
the south, but so close to the Newber-
ry line as to bring the crime home to
Newberrians.
Victim at Home Alone.
The father of the child was at work
in his field about half mile from his
home with a number Of negroes. or
these he sent Flute Clark to his house
for some tools and to bring a bucket
of water back to the field. He came
back to the field with a bucket of wat
er from the branch, which he had to
cross in going to the house. While he
was absent from the field two Of the
victims young brothers came home
from school and found the dead body
OF their sister near the cellar door.
They sounded the farm bell, and the
father coming home made the grue-
some find.
At the time the mother had gone to
neighbor's, some two hundred yards
distant.
When the father Of the victim reach

the father of the negro who later con-
fessed to the crime, and on being
questioned the negro at the telephone
said the young child was paralyzed,
and that he was trying to secure as
sistance.
On immediate investigation the faith
er found the dead body Of his daugh-
ter, and the facts were evident.
Clark Suspected.
Flute Clark was Immediately sus-
picioned, and his subsequent confes-
sion proved the suspicion correct.
Clark said that he went to the well
to get the water and that he asked
the young girl to bring him a potato.
Then the thought which led to his
summary death occurred to him. Clark
said that he could give no explanation
Of his action except that he must have
been crazy.
The Lynching.
The lynching occurred some half
mile below the home of the victim,
where she at that time lay cold in
death. It is stated that lantern was
swung to the body Of the negro, and
that some several hundred shots were
fired into his body.
Officers PoWerless.
Sheriff Corley and his deputies were
at the scene of the crime, but they
were powerless to prevent the lynch
ing. While the officers were watch
ing the regiment Of men gathered at
the home a band of determined men
had the negro in the woods and later
the crowd gathered and put him to
death.
How the Newspaper Men Got There.
TWO representatives of The Herald
and News were taken to the scene Of
the crime by Nr. J. Frank Browne, Of
Prosperity, who was kind enough to
come to Newberry in his automobile
from Prosperity, and to take the
newspaper people to Little Mountain.
The Newberry contingent, including
the officers, had already left, and but
for Mr.. BroKTie :he newspaper peo .>le
would have had tough proposition
in getting to the scene. Mr.. Jerome
Harmon was with Mr.. Browne, and
assisted him in keeping the car in or

When the father found the body OF
his daughter N the yard he rang the
bell second time, and all the hands
came in from the field, among them
Clark. The father singled out Clark,
and, pointing to him, accused him in
these words: "Flute, you did this. y
Clark vigorously denied the charge,
but, as stated above, later confessed.
To cover the story and to publish
a special edition of The Herald and
News furnishing its subscribers with
the story of the lynching has required
effort of a strenuous order, but this
newspaper seeks to give the news
while it is news.

alarm. The father rushed to the
house thinking there was fire, and
went into the house, where he found
the father Of the negro using the tele-
phone. The old negro was trying to
telephone to the victims grandfather
to tell him that the girl was paralyz-
ed. He so told the father, and the
father sought his daughter in the
house, and, failing to find her, went
into the yard, where be found her
body.
The old negro who was using the
telephone is considered good negro,
and it is believed that he was honest
ly deceived.

When the father of the victim sent
the negro Clark to his house for the
tools and for water he observed that
Clark stayed considerably longer than
was necessary. He was gone more
than an hour, when the trip should
not have taken over from twenty to
thirty minutes, at the outside. When
Clark came back, in addition to this,
he brought branch water instead OF
waH water, and the father questioned
him as to this Clark claimed that
he had fallen into the branch and that
it was for this reason that he had
brought the branch water.

When the newspaper men got to the
scene of the crime there was long
string of automobiles and buggies lin
ed up, and the section was full of men
all armed to the teeth. The story OF
the crime was secured, and it was
then desired to go back to Little
Mountain, Mr.. J. K. Derrick, the tele-
graph operator, having promised to
keep the Office open to handle the
telegraphic story. Before the machine
was allowed to leave, it was very
closely scrutinized, the crowd having
determined that the negro should not
be spirited away, it seemed. At that
time, which was about $50 p. m, the
lynching had not occurred. While
the newspaper men were at the tele-
graph Office word was received that
the negro was dead. This message
was received at 1915 p. m. The man
ner of his demise is known only to
those who were present, and no de-
tails can be secured.

The body of the victim will be bu-
ried at Mt. Tabor church at o'clock
this afternoon, with services at the
church.

Clark, it is stated, was a young

had worked on the place where the
crime was committed some eight
years.
