n. Ross, pastor of a Washington ne
gro church, speaking to a large
crowd assembled to celebrate the
birthday of Charles Summer.
The preacher pleaded with the
audience to prepare for war for their
social, political and industrial rights.
Prepare for war in times of peace

shouted 1T should be your policy il

sion, from the fetttrs of this era of

Cries of I'VE are with you: that S

audience arose, waving handker-
chiefs and urging Ross to go on.
When Oswald Garrison Willard, of
New York, vigorously dissented from
Ross's advice the preacher again
rose and repeated his declarations,
drawing another outburst Of ap-

Willard made an address attacking

claring that the position in which

Aiken County.

Aiken, January 6.-Last night
Sheriff Howard received a telephone
message telling him that barn be-

lives about twelve miles from here,

thought to have been set on fire. Ear
ly this morning Rural Policemen
Samuels and Robinson we're dispatch
ed to the scene, with instructions to
make a thorough Investigation, and
they returned late this afternoon

track that led away from the barn to
the negro's house, and then to the
place where he was captured. Will

been whipped by parties to whom the
barn belonged about two years ago.
He left and came back about a month

GEORGIA MAN KILLS WIFE.
Member of Prominent Family Blood
thirsty When Mind Fails.

Augusta, Ca, January 1.-Claude
Jordan, aged 43 years, member of one
of the most prominent families OF
Columbia county, this afternoon kill
ed himself, after having shot and
probably killed a negro, shot a white
man through the neck, killed his
wife and terrorized the entire town
of Grovetown, fourteen miles from
here, for nearly five hours by threat
ening to kill anyone who came near
enough.
Jordan has twice been in sani-
tarium for insanity, and it appears
that his mental balance gave way this
morning about 10 o'clock as result
of having shot a negro by the name
of Major Green last night. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Green was killed,
but his body has not yet been found.
This morning Jordan, who is a
brother of the school commissioner of
Columbia county, began acting queer
ly about 10 o'clock. Neighbors no.
ticed that he was drilling up and
down his front yard with his wife,
CARRYING shot gun over his shoulder.
J. E. Beale, an intimate friend, and
who was supposed to have a strong
influence over Jordan, stopped, en-
gagged the crazed man in conversa-
ton, gave him a chew of tobacco and
started to walk away. When he had
proceeded only a few steps Jordan
fired on him, part of load of buck
shot taking effect in the back of the
neck. Jordan then coolly made his
wife go into the house with him
and in a short time two shots and
screams were heard.
Saved the Children.
1t was known that two little chill
dren we're in the house with Jordan
and his wife, and. when, later, Jor-
dan again appeared in front of his
house, it was believed that he had
killed his wife and both the children.
A crowd from the town formed and
attempted to get Jordan, who threat
ened to kill the first person who
came within gunshot distance. Fin
ally, when he went within doors, a
number of people, armed with rifles,
drew near enough to fire on the
house and stood guard while Julian
J. Zachry crawled up and developed
the fact that the two little children
were alive. He enticed the little
girl, between nine and ten years old,
to come to him in the back yard, and
induced her to call the smaller child
out.
The moment the children were got
out of the way the crowd began firing
into the house, and when no reply
came, the house was rushed, at 80
this afternoon. Jordan was found ly-
ing in one of the rooms with one side
of his head literally shot away by a
load of buckshot from his own gun,
which lay beside him. Mrs. Jordan S
nude body, horribly shot through the
stomach, was found hidden between
two mattresses in one of the bed
rooms.
