Arrested for Horrible Crime.

Orangeburg, Feb. 22.-Last night
John Moorer and John Glover, ne.
groes, were lodged in the county Jail
having been arrested charged with
the murder of a negro woman and
child in the Providence section OF
Orangeburg county on last Friday
night.
This horrible crime, that of MUIR
dering these unfortunate negroes and
then burning the house in an attempt
to hide their criminal acts, caused a
great deal of sensation.
The case has been pushed by Mr..
Shuler, who lives in that neighbor-
hood, and he thinks he has the guilty
parties apprehended. One of the
prisoners, the younger, states that he
was in the house at the time of the
shooting and was the one that fired
the house, but the other negro, who
is accused of the murder, says he was
at home intoxicated and stoutly de-
nies having any connection with the
murder.
The case will be tried at the May
term of the criminal court for Or
angeburg county.

TWO ARE LYNCHED.
Negro who Shot Conductor One Of
the Victims.

Augusta, Ca, Feb. 25.-Bob Jones
the negro who fatally shot Conduc-
tor w. w. Thompson, at Camak, on
the Georgia railroad, Thursday
night, was taken from the Warren
county Jail at midnight by a mob of
about 200 infuriated citizens and
lynched.
John Veazy, another negro in the
Jail, who was charged with the MUIR
der of C. E. Tarham, two months
ago, was also lynched.
The mob then quietly dispersed
and this morning Warrenton was as
quiet as a small town can be. The
negro who was with Jones at the
time Capt. Thompson was shot has
not yet been apprehended and the
mob took advantage. of Sheriff Brink
ley's absence with his posse looking
for this negro to enter the jail and
lynch Jones and Veazey. At II
o'clock this morning the two ne
groes were still hanging from tree
near the town, their bodies riddled
with bullets.
Work Done at Midnight.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, prominent citi-
zen of Warrenton, said over the long
distance telephone to-day that the
mob entered the town about mid
night and with a heavy instrument
pried open the door of the Jail. They
took the negroes from their cells
and quietly led them to the out
skirts of the town. The next thing
that the inhabitants heard was fu-
sillade of shots and then all was still.
This morning the remains of the ne
groes were seen swinging from limbs
of the same tree.
1t is stated that the mob was not
composed of Warrenton citizens and
Mr.. Fitzpatrick stated that he did
not know where they came from.
Murdered Prominent Man.
Much indignation was caused two
months ago when John Veazey, one
of the negroes lynched last night, is
said to have murdered Mr.. Tarham, a
prominent citizen of Warren county.
No Details by Railroad.
The officials of the Georgia rail
road have not received any details
of the affair of last night, although
they were Informed early this morn~
ing by their agent at Warrentcn
that the negroes had been lynched.
The search for the other negro,
who was with Jones at the time Capt.
Thompson was shot, continues, al
though it is not stated what chances
there are for capturing him.

ROB POSTMISTRESS.
Two Bandits Hold up Woman and
Get Money Sent by Express.

Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 25.-Mrs
James Joseph, postmistress at Full
Ter, a coal camp near here, was held
up by two highwaymen last night
and robbed Of $4,000 which she
had just received by express. The
mony was to have been used to pay
off employees of the Sheridan Goa
company to-day. Two other pack
ages, containing $4,000 each, were
not found by the robbers.
The money was sent from Kansas
City last night on the Kansas City
Southern railroad. There was $780,
523 in the three packages. The
train arrived at $50 o'clock and was
met by Mrs. Joseph and Albert
Briggs, cashier of the company. The
money was consigned to an express
company, Of which Mrs. Joseph is
agent.
Mrs. Joseph took a package con-
tanning s10,523 and left the depot
first. AS she stepped out a masked
man with a revolver confronted her
and demanded the money. Another
robbber stood nearby. Mrs. Joseph
handed over the money. Briggs, who
was cloce behind, saw what was 60
ing on and threw his two packages
into corner. The robbers ran to a
buggy and escaped.

to ascertain his reasons for the wip.
ing out of the factory inspection fea-
ture of the law. The governor stated
that his reason for so doing was that
he considered the factory inspectors
absolutely worthless and waste OF
the States money. He further added
that he would attend to that feature
of the law himself and in his own
way. He further stated that he would
veto any and all labor legislation that
might come before him where such
legislation sought to improve or al
leviate the conditions of any man or
woman over the age of 21 years.
"He said that every man and wo-
man who had attained the age of 21
was a free moral agent and could
look out for him or herself. Any man
or woman who was net satisfied with
their condition or the safeguards
placed around their employment or
their hours of labor could quit their
position, but they need not look to
the law to help them as long as he
was in the governors chair.
asked as to how this might work
when applied to the working women
and girls who might be subjected to
hardships which they might be pow
erless to avoid, the governor stated
that they did not have to work under
those conditions as there was plenty
of other work they could go to,
though when pressed for the source
of this work he did not answer. He
further gave me to understand that
neither 1 noraany other outsider need
come to him with any complaint, that
the man or woman affected must
come to him personally or no action
would be taken.
"This matter was referred to the
federation on Wednesday night and
the resolution was passed and Or
dered sent to the governor. To my
mind this action of the chief execu-
tive in assuming the duties of others
where the law does not provide for
such assumption is merely in keeping
with his announced policy of inter-
preting the statutes to his own liking
regardless of law or justice This &C
ton of the governors will be bitterly
contested by organized labor and will
only serve to bind us closer together
in our next election and the next man
will have to prove that he is with
the workers in more than name. -

LABOR CENSURES GOVERNOR.
Charges That He Depriyes Workers
OF State Their Rights Under Law.

Whereas, the governor of this
State has, by the exercise of his veto
power, vetoed the appropriation for
the purpose of employing factory in
spectors, thereby practically nullify-
ing the law and depriving the work
ers of the protection previously af-
forded them;
t"Therefore be it resolved, That this
body put itself on record as being
opposed to this policy of the governor
and condemning any action tending
to deprive the workers of their rights
and the protection of just and neces-
sary laws
This resolution condemning the
action of Gov. Blease in vetoing the
appropriation for the factory inspec-
tors, was adopted by the City Fedora
tion of Trades and will be sent to-
day to Gov. Blease.
H. J. Hardy, secretary of the City
Federation of Trades, went to see
Gov. Blease several days ago concern
ing the factory inspection law. Gov.
Blease, according to Mr.. Hardy and
Senator Weston, got mad and slapped
organized labor in the face. That is
the statement made.
Gov. Blease said yesterday that he
knew more about the condition of
the factory people and their needs
than any representative of a labor
organization. Mr.. Hardy said that
Gov. Blease "got hot under the col
lar"
Wanted Conference.
F. H. Weston, senator from Rich
land county, accompanied Mr.. Hardy
on his visit to Gov Blease for the
purpose of introducing him. Senator
Weston desired to confer with Gov.
Blease to see if some provision could
not be made for the enforcement of
the factory inspection law.
Senator Weston and Mr. Hardy
said that Gov. Blease stated that he
would veto any measure tending to
regulate the hours of the laboring
man. When Gov. Blease was asked
as to the law regulating the hours
of women in stores he is reported to
have stated to Senator Weston and
Mr.. Hardy that the women might get
out and hunt other employment.
Statement from MIR. Hardy.
H. J. Hardy, secretary of the City
Federation of Trades, yesterday made
the following statement in which he
severely attacks Gov. Blease:
