enacted.
Mr.. Sulzer said in part:
THE treaty with Russia says
American citizens are entitled to the
Same rights in Russia that Russian
citizens are accorded here. II these

Great Britain negotiated an important
modification In its alliance with Japan,
and the French government also cx-
pedited the negotiations with signal
good will. The new treaties have heen
submitted to the senate and are await
ing it's advice and consent to their

to leave the community, but they in
sisted that he be punished, whereupon
he was stripped, thrown to the ground
and held by some members of the
Holstein mob, while L. Holstein be-
labored him with a buggy trace.
He was left in a dazed condition and
told to get out Of the community, the

Ben Spradley was evidently fogged

and not on the same spot where the
young man was f1ogged. Young Sprad-

declares he is going back to Monetta

Holstein had made to run away and

Aiken county, is in Augusta, and to-
night went into details, telling of his
own fogging, but was mystifed when
told that Ben Spradley had been fog

death.
He was seated on the porch of Ben
Spradley's home, he said waiting un-

they were going to Saluda to be mar

unknown man, whom he recognized
later as a cousin of the girl. Covered
with a shotgun, he was ordered to

parents could not break up AMEN

marriage, of a. daughter, Of A. l..
Holstein and columbus Spradley, A.
L. R., R. H., Sidney and T. c. Holstein
and Robert Cockrell are now in the
Aiken county jail, Mrs. B. Spradley is
dead from nervous fright Ben Sprad-
ley is not expected to recover from
che effects Of merciless fogging,
Columbus spradley is missing. =
Both families are fairly well-to-do
and are prominent in that section OF
Aiken county, where the flogging oc-
,curred.
When the parents of the young lady
found that they could not break up
the love match, members Of the Hol-
stein family went to the Spradley
home Wednesday night, and calling
columbus Spradley from the house
took MIN to a nearby field and began
dogging him in merciless manner
telling him, meanwhile, that he would
have to leave the community. Ben
Spradley followed the Holsteins and
Cockrell to the field and when he at
tempted to interfere, was treated sim
: i1arly and is now in an unconscious
condition.
Mrs Spradley, formely Miss Eta

mother of a fiye-weeks-old baby, and

Husband, Also, May Die.

Batesburg, Aug. 5.-On yesterday
afternoon the coroner of Aiken coun-
ty held an inquest over the body of
Mrs. B. F. Spradley, who died Thurs
day night. Austin Asbill was fore
man of the jury, the verdict Of which
was: eve find that the deceased came
to death by fright brought on by a
difficulty raised by Augustus L. Hol-
stein, Grover Holstein and other par
ties unknown to the jury" The ver-
dict was the cause of the arrest Of A..
z. Holstein and Grover Holstein, Sid
ney Holstein and Richard Holstein,
nephews of A. L. Holstein. Dock
Cockerell was also arrested. It is
said these parties we're carried to
Aiken and lodged in jail. Boyd Hol-
stein, a son of A. L. Holstein, made
his escape, but it is said he will be
apprehended.
It is said that young Columbus
Spradley was arranging to marry a
daughter of Mr.. A. L. Holstein, and
to prevent such slip they went to
the home Of B. L. Spradley and car
ried him off and gave him a severe
whipping and ordered him to go to
Augusta, the home of his father. After
administering the whipping, they
came back to interview a negro, who
lives on B. F. Spradley's place, and
when B. F. Spradley went out to in
terfere, it was then that they fell upon
him and cuffed him about severely.
One of the men hit him over the head
with some kind of q blunt instrument,
which rendered him unconscious for
some time. The whole affair is much
deplored by the whole community.
The sad part of the whole affair is
the fact that Mrs Spradley leaves an
infant only five weeks old.
The physician who is attending B.
F. Spradley reports his condition un-
changed, and he expresses the opinion
that the chances are against him.

BRYAN REPLIES 70 UNDERWOOD.
Promises Soon Other Things for Floor
Leader to Discuss.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Wm. J. Bryan to-
day replied to the criticism of Repre-
sentative Underwood made in the
house yesterday, by declaring thai
the statements which Mr.. Underwood
criticised were based on a Washing.
ton dispatch which appeared in an
Omaha paper. 'If that report is in
correct" said Mr.. Bryan, "I take il
for granted that Mr.. Underwood will
read the report before the house and
deny it."
eff the report is correct, I have
nothing to withdraw If it is erron-
eous, + shall withdraw my criticism
of Mr.. Underwood so far as it is bas-
ed on his action in that particular
case. Whatever the outcome in this
instance, I do not withdraw my crit
icism of Mr.. Underwood on other oc-
casions and I intend to take early op-
portunity to give him some other
things to discuss.

to which he refers is contained in an

band and NetheW.

Aiken, Alg. 4--Ruca! Policemen
Busbee and Samuels : Ought r late
tonight A. L. Holsreia, X. II i!c'st2in.
Sidney Holstein, G. c. Hoistein ard
Dock Coclrell, charged with the
death Of Mrs. Ben Sp 'adley, and the
severe beating Of Ben Spradley and
his nephew, Plum Spradley. The
cause of this unfortunate affair was
the planned marriage of Plum Sprad-
zsy to a daughter Of A. L. Holstein,
which the parents Of the girl could
not prevent. and the Holsteins visited
She home Of Ben Spradley with the
zntention of whipping Plum Spradley.
They had taken him out and were
mercilesslv beating him when Ben
'SpradIey interfered, and he also suf-
fered a severe beating. The excite
ment was so intense that Mrs: Sprad-
ley died from the shock. She leaves a
baby of five weeks. Ben Spradley is
now in an unconscious condition and
little hope is held for his recovery.
This affair happened on Wednesday
night, and the community is greatly
wrought up over it. Mr.. Ben Spradley
lives within about two miles Of Mo-
META in the Beth church section.
Probable Cause of Trouble.
The cause of the unfortunate occur
renee dates back to a harness cutting
nscrape, which took place at church
in. Wards township, about a month
ago, in which young Spradley was ac-
~cused of having participated. A num-
Der of young men went to the church
at the time, and during the services
went out among the vehicles, and cut
up several sets of harness.
Mr.. Spradley and two others were
accused of the offence, and were tried
for it. The first trial resulted in. a
mistrial, but at the second trial all
three parties were acquitted.
But some Of the people of the CON-
munity seem to think that he was
guilty, even though the evidence
brought out at the trial was INSULT
cient o prove his guilt, and dissatis-
faction prevailed over the outcome of
the fna, trial, and, for this reason it
is thought that the affair of last night
sprang from this. 49,.
The report, which reached the city
this morning, has created quite a
sensation, and other details of the af-
fair are awaited with intense interest
