Synod Must Approve.

Lexington, March 30.-Summer
land is to get the new college fo,
girls, the esta blishment of which is
contemplated by the Lutheran Synod
of South Carolina; at least this is
the decision of the committee in
charge of the location of the college
subject to the approval of the Luth-
eran Synod.
Summerland's claims were pushed
by the two towns of Batesburg and
Leesville. The two towns offered
the Summerland hotel and forty
acres of land which, it was claimed
by those who worked for the two
towns, to be worth 100000. The
committee, however, estimates that
the property is worth $4,000. 1t
has been known for some time that
the college would either be located
at Columbia or Summerland, the
Lexington offer having been with
drawn, and the other places seeking
the college being almost entirely out
of the range of Lutheranism in the
State.

He Was Game.

A St. Paul youth called up his
sweetheart in Chicago by long dist

time slipped by and the rates slipped
up. It was a pleasant half hour, all

culation showed him he had talked

What are you laughing at?" the
girl inquired.
I'm laughing to think that this
little talk has cost me as much as

don't you stop?"
"Well," replied the youth, Il want

youth.

Indicted for Burning Church.

Fort Worth, Texas, March 2S.-
Rev. J. Frank Norris, who resigned
the pastorate of the First Baptist
church of this city last night, was
indicted to-day on a charge of arson
in connection with the burning of his
church on the night of February a..
Mr.. Norris, suffering from a ner-
vous break down, it was stated as
the result of a series of sensational
incidents of which he was the CEN
tral figure, left Fort Worth early to-
day, ostensibly for Hubbard City,
Texas to spend several days in san
itarium. Tonight, however, he could
not be located at Hubbard City. His
resignation as pastor of the local
church was because of ill-health, he
explained.
Mr.. Norris first attracted attention
several months ago as a leader in
a civic reform movement. Later his
church was burned and the minister
complained that he had received
anonymous communications threat
ening his life and on two occasions,
he alleged, attempts were made to
kill him. A grand jury investigation
resulted in the indictment of Norris,
charged with perjury on the allega-
ton that he had testified falsely be-
fore the grand jury and that Norris
himself was the author of the anony-
nous letters. He was arrested and
released under bond March 2. That
night his home was destroyed by fire.
Norris and his family escaped with
difficulty from the building. The
trial of Norris on the perjury charge
was set for April.

Negroes Planned Brutal Murder.

Cross Hill, March 29.-According
to reports received here the white
residents of Mountville and vicinity
have learned of the existence of a
negro secret society in their midst
and to this society attribute the mur-
der of William Rhett Bryson, the
prominent young farmer murdered
on his plantation here last week.
1t is said that confessions have
been secured from some of the ne
gro members of this lodge and the
murder of Mr.. Bryson seems to have
been a prearranged affair, the negro
appointed for the job having been
provided with money with which to
make good his escape which it seems
at this time he has succeeded in do
ing.
Further reports state that a COM
mittee of white men composed of
prominent farmers and business men
Oh MOuuCVlllS duu SulIOuuuluS
towns fired with indignation at the
foul murder of Mr.. Bryson have
waited upon a number of the negroes
supposed to have knowledge of the
affair and some severe whippings have
been administered. In one or two
instances it is doubtful if the vic
tins of the beatings can recover so
severely were they whipped.
Since the discovery of the exist
ence of this lodge the white people
of the vicinity have been almost
afraid to venture forth alone after
nightfall but are determined to
stamp out the last vestige Of the ne
gro organization.
The many fires which have occur
red in and around Mountville recent

been of incendiary origin are now at

Alleged Inciter Arrested.

| Newt N1cCombs, Gaffney negro
who went to Blacksburg this morn
ing, was arrested there 1t is charged
that he was making an attempt to in
cite the negroes to action against
the white people, and it is said that
he made a similar attempt here be-
| fore he went to the scene of the
lynching. When arrested he was
armed and had box of new cart
ridges. He was lodged in jail under
heavy guard until noon, when he was
brought here and placed in the coun-
ty jail.
Intense excitement prevails in
Blacksburg, negroes are sullen and
will not talk. Several plants in
Blacksburg have been forced to prac-
tically close down. No negroes could
be found tonight in Blacksburg who
would assist in burying the two dead
men, and it was necessary to secure
Whlte men Tor tnaC WOrk.
Further Trouble Feared.
It is feared by some that there
may possibly be some further trouble
in Blacksburg tonight and num-
Der of the citizens of that town will
help watch tonight. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion in Blacksburg that the
mob was composed of people away
from Blacksburg, although there is
not the slightest evidence to show
who did the lynching. The two ne
groes were of bad repute in Blacks
burg, having served time. They
were loafers and had no regular, en-
ployment Childress is a cotton mill

Governor Blease Notified.
Columbia, March 29.-Governor
Blease was notified early this morn
ing of the lynching of two negroes
at Blacksburg, in Cherokee county,
in the following telegram from
Sheriff Thomas, of Gaffney: 1.-TWO
negroes lynched at Blacksburg. Will
investigate. Wire any instructions.

Blacksburg, March 29.-As the af-
termath of the lynching of two ne
groes here some time last night,
charged with attacking white man,
the city tonight was patrolled by
armed posses, awaiting threatened
negro invasion. The blacks are said
to be forming at Hopewell church,
near the city. Posses from Gaffney
and other nearby towns arrived to-
night. At midnight it was stated that
