ATROCITIES BY GUERnLAs.
The Rebels Are Accused Of Many
Terrible Deeds.

The guerillas In Lower California
are committing numerous atrocities.
They are even accused Of burning
two Federal prisoners to death. The
name Of the writer Of the letter, who
is still below the line, Is not divulg-
ed, for obvious reasons.
The letter reads: 1.-The rebels are
in full possession of Tecate and 1t is
impossible to do any business in that
country, because they have orders
from the captain to shoot any Mex
leans they catch there, without re-
gard to their business. They have
already shot five and Thursday night
they burned two whom they captured
in the skirnlish they had at Carrlzio.
They have had two skirmlshes and
some have been killed, but it is not
known how many.
"They are killing animals they
don't want and committing great In
justices. They shot three helpless
fellows fellows who had nothing %
do on either side, politically CT other
wIse-George Meis and his brother,
and Placido Mato. George left seven
helpless children. They were about
to shoot Abram Agrada. He was al
ready kneeling to be shot when Val
enzuela saved him.
"They have a prisoner captured
on the American side, also another
who was shot In the Carrizo Skin
mish, and another who was shot
through the leg"

They MUST Be TRUE
THE PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES
LOOK TO TIE DEMOCRATS.
Senator O'Gorman Says Public Has
Put Its Trust In Party Which OPP
poses Tariff Grab.

In an address Wednesday evening
at dinner given in his honor by
the National Democratic Club, OF
New York, James A. O'Gorman the
newly elected Senator to the United
States Senate, said in part:
To-day the American people are
looking hopefully to the Democratic
party for redress against economic
and political conditions which weigh
heavily upon them and which can not
be successfully defended. There is
growing and widespread public sent
iment that the American consumer
must be relieved from unjust and un-
necessary tribute.
"The house of representatives,
Democratic for the first time In 16
years, has set a splendid example Of
advancing necessary legislation dur
ing the last month. The pledges Of
the party have been kept and the
record of the house is one of achieve
ment.
I'm our own State the Democratic
majority intends, during this session,
to enact laws which will make for
economy and efficiency in govern
ment and thus tighten the burden OF
the citizens of the State. In New
Jersey, under the inspiring leader
ship Of Gcv. Wilson, the Democratic
party in one session Of the legisla-
ture has redeemed al! the pledges OF
constructive legislation. These are
a few of the achievements Of the
Democratic party in 1911.
'I believe the people Of the land
want an immediate downward reVi-
sion Of the tariff. They demand a
parcels post. They demand that the
Panama canal be fortified. They de-
mand the election Of United States
senators by direct vote, and they de-
mand. that the reserved rights of the
States be jealousy guarded against
federal usurpation. I shall support
these and all similar measures as
they arise

NEGROES ARE MOVING.
Over Fifteen Hundred Left Beaufort
in One Year.

The Columbia State says in ten
years 1897 negroes. one-half the ne
gro population, left the town Of
Beaufort. Where are they? The
population Of the coast counties OF
South Carolina has rot increased.
While Charleston city has gained
5000 people, the couaty's popuia-
ton has remained practically sta
tionary and It IS said that the color
ed population of the city has not in
creased. Certainly there are no evi-
dences that the negroes have in
creased in the interior Of the State,
signs pointing directly contrary. In
word, examination Of the census
figures so far published tend to the
conclusion that the publication Of
the census race figures will reveal
that South Carolina is losing con-
siderable part of its negro poula-
ton and that the ratio of negroes to
whites in the State has grown per-
ceptibly smaller. That the negroes
are thinning out" in what has been
regarded the BLACK district" is Of
particular interest and significance.

JAP OFFICER on OUR sHIP.

DON'T WANT 1T FRkE
MILLS DEMAND PROTECTION ON
THEIR PRODUCTS.
They Fear that Putting Bagging on
the Free List Will Injure Their
Rucinass

Opposition to the free entry OF
burlap has been voiced the past few
days by southern mill interests which
fear that such action will harmfully
affect the market for the lower
grade Of cotton goods, such as osna-
burgs.
These protest have come particu-
larly from the Carolinas and Georgia,
and from New York brokers. There
is little doubt now, however, that
burlap will be included in the bill
as it passes the house.
What the senate will do to the
free list bill cannot be prophesied,
though a southern member of the
finance committee stated that bur
lap would not be in the bill as re-
ported to the senate from the finance
committee.
Leader Underwood, Of the house,
in discussing the matter said the
house ways and means committee
considered the interests Of the far
mers Of all sections Of the country
in framing the farmers free list bill.
Free bagging and ties were given
the southern cotton farmers, he
said, "and burlap was proposed for
free admission as concession to the
grain farmers, who use this product
for sacking their grain"
He was asked II 1t was not true
that free burlap would come into
competition with the coarser grades
of cotton goods, and possibly de-
crease the consumption Of cotton for
making cotton bags by from 100000
to 100000 bales annually.
THAT is like the argument OF the
iron men," he said. "They imme-
diately talk of pig iron furnaces be-
ing stopped in my district when it
is proposed to take the duty off
iron bands and certain steel products.
They Immediately talk Of pig Iron
furnaces being started up in Japan
and China to compete with the Amer
made steel works In those
countries and no probability OF any
being established, so that has little
weight with me-"

The Columbia State says a report
er for that newspaper, while making
his usual rounds on Thursday was
handed the following letter from
Governor Blease:
Columbia, S. c., May 4, 1911.
Mr.. Bell: The unfairness with
which the Columbia State treated me
during the campaign was overlooked
by me when ! came into Office, and
gave to their correspondent all of
the information in the Office, and re-
quested my secretary and his assist
ant to be courteous and polite to all
of the reporters and give them all Of
the public news.
Those in charge of The State saw
fit not to appreciate it but continued
to misrepresent me and to abuse me
editorialiy and even now they pub
1ish falsehoods about me under as
sumed names, and when corrections
are sent in by my friends, refuse to
publish them for the people.
Mr. Traywick has just sent In a
communication in reply to an edi-
,orial from the State which the State
refused flatly to publish, and Mr.
Traywick is now getting it published
in such County papers as will ac-
cept it.
In view Of these facts, ] cannot
give to The State any news from this
Office, and have so instructed. both Of
the young men in the Office. l regret
this, as I feel that N.Y. acts in the
Office belong to the public, yet feel
that there are other sources through
which they can be received, and
henceforth there is nothing doing
here for the Columbia State. Such
information as it publishes will have
to be received from some other
source. If it Is false, it can be no
worse than the malicious misrepre-
sentations which they have been pub
fishing against me since the Tillman
trial. Cole l.. Blease.
