REBELS EXCITE MEXICO.
TURBULENT SCENES FOLLOW IN
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
Dissatisfaction With Government
Leads to Condemnation of MaderO
and Praise Of Diaz.

Mexico City. Oct. 25.--Shocked by
the realization that the forces of
Emiliano Zapata had entered the fed
eral district, sacked a town and then
stood off a detachment Of the federal
army the chamber Of deputies to-
night demanded that the acting min
ister of war and the minister Of the
interior appear before that body and
render full reports regarding the in
surrection and the measures being
taken for It's suppression. 1t was
agreed to remain In session until the
ministers appeared and that should
the head Of the war department fail
to report before morning 70 60 to his
house.
The action of the deputies resulted
In a special session Of the cabinet
and II was agreed that the deputies
should be given. as soon as possible,
the details Of the campaign against
the rebels.
Not in many weeks had there been
so tumultuous scene In the
chamber. Every paper In the
city carried long accounts Of the bat
tie Of Milpa Alta which stated that
the Zapatis.as had repulsed the fed
erals killing and wounding more than
half Of the battalion sent against
them.
Late In the afternoon the report
reached the city Of night encount-
er between rebels and federals.. This
news increased the tension in the
chamber. Francisco I. Madero shared
the denunciation leveled at the gov
crnment by the excited deputies and
the galleries applauded.
One deputy made .complientary
reference to Diaz and his government
and again the audience shouted its
approval.
Milpa Alta today was In the hands
OF the government troops. In the
streets .pf the town tonight some 80
bodies remain unburied. 7 ''N''ss

BACK TO THE LAW.

There is tark Of btfnsans the case
of the men who lynched the negro at
Honea Path before the grand jury.
That would be, worse than useless,
for 1t would be impossible to convict
the lynchers, even If Josh Asheley,
the leader, would stand up before
the jury and make full confession and
give the names Of all who were in the
party. If q verdict of guilty should
be brought in, a pardon would be
granted as soon as it could be writ
ten.
An arrest and trial would make
heroes Of the lynchers and eminently
qualify them for public Office in the
opinion of many voters. Josh Ashley
is the logical successor to Governor
Blease for he boldly and fearlessly
executed what the governor had sug-
gested and advised.
The act of the negro was brutal,
but the lynching and the manner in
which it was done was as savage as
in their most savage moods. 1t shows
that We lack a long way of reaching
the degree of civilization where
Righteousness and mercy unite in the
life of a nation.
An associate of Justice Harlan said
that he went to bed every night with
one hand on the Bible and the other
on the constitution. It has come to
pass in our state that some Of our
leading citizens throw the law and
constitution away and keep one hand
On the pistol and the other on a
rope
When people are encouraged by
governors and courts to lynch negroes
for one special crime, il will not be
long until they take the execution of
vengeance in their own hands and
punish men OF any color who are OBJ
jectionable to them.
as they ought 10 be and they should
be encouraged by all in authority to
respect and obey the laws
The events Of the last few days in
this State are sufficient to indicate
that the people feel that they have
license to violate the laws. In Green
vile and Union at the close of the
week there were homicides that were
savage in their nature In this coun-
ty 12-year-old hoy shoots and kills
his brother. From many counties
come reports Of homicide and at
tempts to kill. 1t is time for the gov
ernor and all in authority to advise
and urge the people to obey all the
laws without exception.--Spartanbu

Gregg's Store Damaged.

One of the biggest fires which has
occurred in this city recently t.
place early Thursday morning when
restaurant on Manning avenue
caught and the flames spread TO ad-
Jacent buildings, all of which were
destroyed, except a store belonging TO
Mr.. A. E. Gregg.
The fire caught about O'Clock,
from 6 defective flue it is stated, and
quickly spread to all parts of the
building, in which were coIored
peoples undertaking establishment, a
restaurant a store and a church In
the. second story. Two negro tene-
ment houses in the rear of the build
ing also caught and store belonging
to Mr.. Gregg, which was situated nexr
to the undertaking establishment. All
of the property was owned by Rev.
Friday K. Kershaw except the store
of Mr.. Gregg.
The restaurant in which the fire
originated was run by a man named
Tidas. Geo. Robinson was the oro.
prietor Of the undertaking establish
ment and Thomas Washington ran
the store, all of which were on the
ground floor Of one building, while
the Baltimore Chapel had quarters in
the second story, Rev. Friday Ker-
shaw being pastor Of the congrega-
ton.
In one Of the two negro houses
were living a man known as Go
Wilson with his family and in the
other were severa! negro women,
whose names could not be learned.
The tenants lost almost all Of their
personal property and the buildings
were all burned to the ground.
All Of one side Of the roof and one
wall o. the store building belonging
to Mr.. Gregg was burned and the
stock Of goods was damaged to q
considerable extent. The lose to Mr..
Gregg was probably about $500 on
store and stock, while that to Rev.
Kershaw was much greater, he hav-
ing lost one two-story building and
two four-room tenement houses. Be-
sides the loss on the buildings, the
occupants lost all of their belongings.
Altogether, the total loss was esti-
mated at somewhere between So
600 and $4,000. about $1,000 Of which
was sustained by Rev. Rershaw. The
buildings were insured, but it is not
known whether the tenants had in
surance on their stock of goods. MI.
Gregg had his building and goods in
sured.
This fire occurred at the corner Of
Divine street and Manning avenue
the exact place where about a year
| ago fire destroyed a store and several
houses. The two fires did about the
same about of damage.

the fire this morning until it had

| that a number of the adjacent build
ngs were saved.

No Trouble Landing

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Oct. 10.-Barney
Petty, probably the smartest pitcher in
the American League, thinks the Ath-
letics will have no trouble winning from
the Giants
THE Giants big asset seems to be
their, wonderful activity on the base
lines" said Petty. Stealing third has
been the principal stock in trade Of
McGraw's men this season. OF course.
it's a grand thing to have a bunch Of
daring base runners. Base running will
win ball games in any mans league,
but have you ever carefully analysed
the. work of the Giants?
There are plenty of-great throwing
catchers in the National League. but
the smartest and best throwing back
stop in the game has no chance to
stop base burglars unless his pitcher
co-operates with him. Without the as
sistance Of the pitcher no catcher can
stop base thieves. It's up to the
pitcher to chain the runners to the
sacks, and unless he carries out his
part Of the deal the men on the cushions
will run the base lines wild"
