CONVICTS REWARDED.
Feasted by Missourians for Good
Work During Flood Crisis.

Jefferson, Ind, April 14.-One
thousand convicts the State reforma-
tory here were feasted Sunday by the
citizens of Jeffersonville, in apprecia-
ton of the services rendered by the
prisoners during the food when they
worked night and day on the peniten-
tiary embankment, which protects
this city from the Ohio river and pre-
vented it's breaking.
The grey garbed men in turn,
showed their appreciation at the
close of the banquet by handing Su-
perintendent D. G. Peyon a resolu-
ton signed by 996 inmates thanking
him for the courtesy extended them
and declaring each of them will do
his best to maintain discipline in the
ranks.
Chickens, cakes, baked by the
housewives of Jacksonville; fruits,
ice cream and candy we're the main
items of the feast.

ARMS AND LEGS BROKEN.
Boy Caught in Shafting at Lancaster
Mill-May Die.

Lancaster, April 14.-Frank Nc
Kinney, a colored boy aged about Is
years, was caught in shafting at the
Wilson & Nisbet Roller Mills Satur-
day and probably fatally injured. The
boy was attempting to throw on a
belt when his clothing caught on a
set screw and he was hurled around
the shafting at the rate Of more than
800 revolutions a minute. Both legs
and both arms are broken, the bone
of his right leg protruding from the
flesh just above the ankle, and all of
his clothing except a part of one
stocking was torn from his body. The
distance from the shaftlng to the
overhead wall is about eighteen
inches.
The boy displayed remarkable
nerve. Lying on a pile of sacks
awaiting the doctor, he greeted his
friends saying that his legs and his
arms alone panied him. He asked
for a glass of water and, after drink
ing it, chatted with bystanders until
the train arrived, on which he was
taken to a hospital at Rock Hill.

ENOCH McELMORE sURRENDERs
Leader of Wilcox County Fugitives
in Charge of Sheriff.

Abbeville, Ca, April 14.-Enoch
McElmore, the leader of the seven
Wilcox County fugititves, who took
to the swamps Saturday night when
they learned that McElmore was
wanted with the two Colemans and
Stevens for the Leon Melvin killing,
gave himself up today, and tonight
is on his way with Sheriff Gibbes to
Ocilla for safe-keeping.
For a time it looked like trouble
when the sheriff and his posse of six
came up on the fugitives today. At
first they were defed, and several
shots were exchanged. Finally, Nc
Elmore and w. E. Yates laid down
their arms and surrendered. The
other five fled further into the swamp,
but were not pursued as the two in
custody are looked on as the ring
leaders. A man named RidgeWay IS
also among the refugees.
In the meantime feeling, which
might have worked up to lynching
heat against the Colemans and Stew
ems. has cooled down to point where
a demand is being made that special
term of Superior Court be called to
trv them and McElmore, who will be
made a Joint defendant.

GEORGIA COUNTY IN FEAR.
Looks for Bloody Warfare Within
Few Days.

Rochelle, Ca, April 12.-Central
Wilcox county is in fear tonight of
much bloodshed within the next day
or two as the result of the killing of
young Leon Melvin, the son of we'll
to-do farmer near here last Sunday
night.
When three well-known white
farmers, w. A. Coleman, Jim Cole
man and w. H. Stevens, were arrest
ed charged with the killing, their
tenants were reported to be organiz-
ing into an armed band to storm the
jail and rescue them.
Tuesday two negroes who were re-
ported to have been ringleaders In
the rescue propaganda were arrested
by Sheriff Gibbes, but were taken
from his hands on the way to Ro-
chelle by a score of white men wear
ing masks.
The negroes were flogged with
buggy whips and turned loose, but
the next day reports came that ne
groes and white tenant farmers alike
were organizing to batter down the
Jail.
In the mean time the head of the
Melvins was visited by members of
the McElmore family, according to
the former, and told that if they at
tempted to prosecute the Colemans
they would kill all the Melvin family.
The McElmores are tenants of the
Colemans.
Warrants were sworn out for the
McElmores, but, seven strong, they
have taken to the woods, where it is
reported that they are organizing a
large party of armed whites and ne
groes with which to descend on Ro-
chelle.
Word was received in Rochelle to-
day that Sheriff Gibbes had been de-
fed by body of negroes, a dozen
strong, near Tippetsville, and that
from there he has sent for help from
the sheriffs of surrounding counties.
When aid arrives he will move on
the recesses where the McElmores
are believed to be.
The combined forces will then start
a man hunt, the outcome of which
fills the peace loving portion of the
community with dire misgivings.

"Hon," Robert Smalls.

It is said that Congressman Byrnes,
in whose district Beaufort is, has Sc
cured a promise from the administra-
ton at Washington that Robert
Smalls will be removed as collector
of the port at Beaufort, and that a
Democrat will be appointed in his
place.
Smalls is one of the legacies of Re-
construction days. He had earned
some fame before-near the close OF
the war-by taking the steamer
Planter out of Charleston harbor,
through the Confederate lines of gun
boats, Through a rain of shot and
SHE'LL" and turning her over to the
Federal navy. For this act he was re-
garded by the Republicans as great
hero. Had Andy Carnegle's nero
fund" been in existence then, no
doubt he would have got a medal.
Instead of that, however, he got
about all he wanted from the "Radl-
cal'' party in South Carolina from
1868 up to 1S76-and beyond. He
was senator from Beaufort county
for a long time, and was at one time
member of congress. Since losing
office from the State he has held the
position of collector of the port by
virtue of presidential appointment.
Older people about Columbia will
recall Robert Smalls as a sort OF
staggering fellow, saddle-colored,
somewhat portly, but f1abby, and re-
minding one of Dickens Rev. Chad
band,' in Bleak House-'a large
yellow man, with fat smile, and
general appearance of having a good
deal of train oil in his system. -

Evans Case Continued.

Columbia, April 14.-The case be-
fore the Supreme Court today against
Barnard B. Evans, a Columbia at
torney, was continued until next Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock. This ac-
ton was taken On the plea of G. P.
Sanders, of Spartanburg, an attorney
for the defendant, because of the ILL
ness of George Evans, of Edgefield,
material witness in the case. On ac-
count of the gravity of the charges
against B. B. Evans, the Supreme
Court thought that the case should be
continued
j. Fraser Lyon, former Attorney
General of South Carolina, brought
charges of alleged unprofessional con-
duct against Barnard B. Evans, and,
in his petition and affidavits, named
many instances to bear out his allie
cations. The petition also prays the
Supreme Court to. disalloW B. b.
Evans to further practice his profess
sion before the bar of the State.
The Supreme Court convened this
morning shortly after 10 o'clock. c..
P. Sanders Immediately asked the
Court to continue the case on account
of the illness of George Evans, a
brother of the defendant and ma
terial witness, who is now on bed
of sickness in Edgefeld. The attor-
ney explained that the absence of Mr..
Evans would materially hamper the
case, because there were certain mat
ters pertaining to Edgefeld county
the defence anticipated into the evil
dence which it was not familiar with
that George Evans had worked up
this part of the evidence and counsel
needed his advice; that this is the
reason why the continuance was re-
quested.
w. H. Cobb, of Columbia, solicitor
of the 5th judicial district, who is
representing the State, said that per-
sonally he had no objection to the
continuance; but that he had sub
poenaed 35 or 40 witnesses from Edge
field and Saluda, some of whom were
already in the city, while others
would arrive on the noon train.
After taking the plea of the defend
ant under advisement, G. A. Woods,
Associate Justice, who acted as Chief
Justice in the case, on account of
Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary being
disqualified to sit because of kinship
to the defendant, announced that the
Supreme Court, for reason of the
gravity of the charges against B. b.
Evans, had decided to grant the ap-
peal and continue the case. He ad-
vised the attorneys of both sides to
consult and decide upon day for the
hearing.
After consultation, the attorneys
decided upon next Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, which was satisfactory
to the Supreme Court.
A full Court was sitting this morn
ing. Sam j. Nichols, an attorney,
of Spartanburg, sat as a special AS
sociate Justice. This appointment
was made by Governor Blease last
week on account of the Chief JUS
tice being disqualified.

VICTIM OF MURDER IDENTIFIED?
Lancaster County Mystery Probably
Cleared.

Lancaster, April 14.-Sheriff John
P. Hunter yesterday received letter
from L. Slesinger, a merchant, of
Bishopville, S. c., making inquiries
concerning the body of the unknown
man found on the banks of Twelve
mile Creek, about three weeks ago,
near Osceola, this county. The body
was discovered after having been in
the water about ten days. There was
wound in the head made by some
blunt instrument, and the verdict of
the coroner's jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death by the hands
of parties unknown and his body
thrown in the creek. The letter fol-
lows:
Letter Gives Description.
Sheriff of Lancaster County, Lam
caster, S. C.-Dear Sir: We received
news concerning a person that was
murdered about fifteen miles north
of Lancaster, and from the informa-
tion received from the party, he
seems to think that the description
that the foreman of the jury of in
quest gave him, was H. Hyman, (Har-
ry Hyman as we all knew him. This
party-H. Hyman-is 21 years old,
clean face, very dark skin for a white
man, rather Indian color, Jew and
weighs about 1875 pounds. He had
an operation last fall on one side Of
his toes and the nail was taken eff.
He was about five feet, seven inches
tall, or under. If he had any papers
on him or letters that bear his name
they are in the Hebrew language, or
if hehad acheck-book, this might lead
us to think that it was Harry Hyman.
How long had this body been dead
and On what day was it found? If
this party does not answer to the
description and if he was a Jew,
please let me know. Also please in
form me when and where you bur
led the body.
IL. Slesinger.
One Hundred Dollars Reward.
After receiving the above letter
Sheriff Hunter renewed his efforts to
unravel the mystery. The Governor
has offered reward Of SIS for the
apprehension and conviction of the
guilty parties, and Sheriff Hunter has
personally supplemented this amount
with s25. About two weeks before
the body was discovered Constable
John Caskey passed a peddler in the
road in that neighborhood, who, he
says, fills the description given by the
foreman of the jury of inquest and
that of Mr.. Slesinger. He asked the
man his name, and he said it was
Hyman. He also told Mr.. Caskey he
was on his way to Lancaster to get a
license to peddle in this county. He
did not reach Lancaster, however,
as the clerks books do not show that
any license was granted to a man by
that name.

Why can't Main street be paved!
True the city treasury is rather de-
pleted, but several of the merchants
and property owners have spoken in
favor of it and they are willing to
stand part of the expense. This
plan could be followed if all would
come into it and the cost would not
be enormous for any one taxpayer.
1t is likely that a proposition will
be presented to the property own
ers soon, and there seems no good
business reason why we cant get
together on the proposition.
