THEY MUST LEAD
THE PROGRESsIvES MUST LOOK
TO THE DEMOCRATS.
Democracy Controlled by Progress
sives While Republicanisnl is Con-
trolied by StandpGtters.

In one Of his speeches Gov. Will
SON tells why the Progressives of all
parties will have to look to the Dem
ocracy for leadership, not only in
New Jersey, but in the nation. Here
is what he said:
81 believe that both parties have
been singularly SLOW in waking up to
the meaning of new age, and what
| want to call your attention to is
that a large proportion of the men
row active in leading the Democratic
PARTY have walked up to the meaI-
ing of the new time and have walked
UP, too, to those who are leading the
Republican party. The facts speak
Tor themselves. The actual leaders
Of the Democratic party in the States
which have put in a Democrtic ad-
ministration and in the nation at
large, in congress and out Of con-
gress, are the progressvies in the
Democratic ranks. Can we candid
men gainsay that?
"It is not true that the progressive
element of the Democratic party now
dominates that party. Does not ey-
cry man know that if the circum-
stances should change and the retro
,sressive element should get in con-
troll of the Democratic party that 1t
would lose all possibility of success?
That it would lose ell the chances it
apparently now has to lead the ma
ton? The Democratic party realizes
that and the nation realizes it.
"Very we'll, what is true on the
other side of the house? There are
splendid men, and splendid men by
the score, among those who stand
prominent in the leadership of the
Republican party, who are just as
progressive, just as clear-sighted on
the issues of the time as anybody
on the Democratic side, but are they
dominant in the councils of the Re-
publican party? Answer that ques-
ton frankly. Are they dominant in
the councils of the Republican par
ty in this State or in the nation?
"You know very we'll that they
are not. They are practically with
out dominance and they are opposed
by leaders, from the President of the
United States down. And for the
present everybody. knows that neith-
er now nor in the immediate future
will they gain control. What is the
moral of that? The moral is that the
progressivcs of this country at this
time-I am not saying anything as
to the future, for | cannot forsee II
but the progressives of this coun-
try, in New Jersey and out OF 1t, at
this time, must look to the Demo
cratic party for leaders"

ANOTHER FIEND LYNCHED.
Admitted His Attempt Before He
Was Strung Up.

Near Irvinton, Ca, negro named
Andrew Chapman was taken from
Bailin w. T. Cowen by a masked
mob of forty men and hung to a pine
tree near Buffers Bridge, and his
body riddled with bullets.
The deputy was cn his way to the
county Jail with the negro, who had
been given a commitment trial and
bound over to the next grand jury
The officers was overpowered and the
prisoner taken from him. The negro
admitted his guilt and said he had
no regrets.
He attempted an assault upon one
of the best known young ladies OF
Wilkinson county, who is still pros
trated as the result Of the shock. The
negro had a bad reputation in the
community. The body of the negro
hung on the tree two days, until the
sheriff ordered it removed.

LYNCAERS UNKNOWN
SUCH IS THE VERDICT IN THE
HONEi PATH KILLING.
Mother of the Fiend Refused to Take
the Body, Which Was Debarred
from the Cemetery.

That Willie Jackson came to his
death from gun shots at the hands
of an unknown mob was the verdict
.1aached by the coroner's jury lat
Honea Path on Wednesday,. The
horribly mutilated body was viewed
by the jury and was cut down from
the telephone pole by Coroner Beas-
ley. The mother Of the fiend refus-
ed to take the body, saying she would
not have anything to do with a son
of hers that would commit such a
crime. The negroes refused to al
low the body to be inferred in their
burying grounds, so it was buried at
the expense of the county on the
home place of Melvin Ashley.
Several fingers Of the negro were
severed for souvenirs during the
night, and the rope, as it fell to the
ground was cut. in pieces and dis
tributed among large crowd that
gathered to see him cut from the
pole. Coroner. ,Beasley and Sheriff
King arrived on the scene at $3.50
o'clock and after experiencing a lit
tie trouble in getting jury willing
to serve, the inquest Was begun.
The body was viewed and the jury
then repaired to the Office Of Magis-
trate Wilson to hear the testimony.
Five or six witnesses were examined,
but it was impossible to locate any
person who admitted seeing the
lynchin,g. Everybody in the COM
munity was reticent and the exam
nation of witnesses required only a
short time. Sheriff King forwarded
short report from Honea Path to
Governor Blease. In the report he
referred the Governor to the news
paper accounts, which the sheriff stat
ed were correct in every particular as
far as he could determine.
Citizen Joseph Ashley was not a
witness of the lynching and neither
was his son, Joe Ashley. These men
left the mob Wednesday with the
negro before the crowd reached Hon
ca Path. At Honea Path Mayor Sui
livan pleaded that the law be allow
ed to take its course. He read tel
egram he had received from Govern
or Blease, asking that the mob al
low the law to take its course, stat
ing that he would obtain a special
term of Court 70 try the negro with
in two weeks.
All of the pleading was of no avail,
however, for after taking the negro
before the little girl for a second
Identification, the crowd proceeded
to the scene of attack and there ne
was strung up by his left foot. The
negros body was literally riddled
with bullets, not a spot as large as
silver dollar remained where bull
lets had not pierced. Everything is
quiet at Honea Path and no further
demonstration will occur.
One negro man was dealt with for
making an insulting remark to gen
tleman looking on the body Wednes-
day morning. The remark was about
blocking the road, The negro was
not injured, being subjected merely
to a light whipping.

SITUATION SERIOUS
AID PLANNED FOR COTTON BY
SOUTHERN GOVERNORS.
Governor Colquit, Of Texas, Urges a
Meeting to Devise Means to Check
Decline in Price.

The decline in the price o. cotton
is becoming serious matter to the
South as we'll as to the whole coun-
try, and something must be done to
stop it, Gov. Colquit, of Texas, will
probably ask the governors of the
cotton growing states to meet at Dal-
las, Tex, October %, as his guests to
suggest ways and means to hold up
the price of cotton.
In reply to kilograms, governors
of every cotton-producing state ex-
cept Tennessee and Georgia have re-
piled that they favor conference
to discuss this matter and the ques-
ton of the place and time Of meeting
alone remains to be settled.
Only one governor has suggested
Texas for meeting place and hence
the idea comes to have the governors
20 to Texas as Governor Colquit's s
guests: The secretaries of agricul-
ture are also expected to participate
in the meeting.
In indorsinlg the plan proposed by
Governor Colquit, Of Texas, to call
meeting of southern governors and
representative men Of the cotton belt
to devise a method for checking the
decline in the price Of raw cotton,
President w. B. Thompson, Of the
New Orleans Cotton exchange, said
that the South should rally to the
call.
1.-The way the cotton producers of
the south are now throwing the sta
pie upon the market IS commercial
suicide said Mr.. Thompson. 1T is
by no means certain that the cotton
crop will be as large as many have
predicted it will be. A great deal can
happen between now and the time
the crop is harvested.
1T is a Pity that cotton should be
selling in the country for nine cents
pound. Because of the increased
cost of living the planter IS not re-
ceiving a penny more than he did
several years ago when cotton was
six cents per pound.
81 hope they will awaken to the
situation that confronts them. II
they will only hold back their cotton
and let it go gradually, prices will
Immediately begin to soar;

Caroline Smith, who disappeared at
Nashville last Sunday, and was found
two days later in deserted house
near the city, in company with Ed
Turbeville.
Carol and Smith are both railway

years. Carol is 35 years old and
married, while Smith is %. Carol
had lived at the Smith home for more
than a year and in this manner be-
came acquainted with the girl he is
charged with having wronged.
After the capture Of Turbeville in
company with Caroline Smith, Turbe-
vile is said to have charged that
Carol was responsible for the girls
downfall. The story reached the
ears Of the father and brother OF the
child and on Wednesday afternoon
Weaver Smith went to the railway
Yards and found Carol preparing to
leave on his engine COR Chattanooga.
At the point of a pistol Smith fore
ed Carol to accompany him to the
smith home where Caroline was con-
fronted with the man and told that
snc must tell the truth about her
relations with Carol, whereupon the
girl told the entire story OF her ruin,
which she said was accomplished by
Carol about Il ye1r ago. Weaver
Smith then fired several shots into
Carnl's body with fatal effect.
