A resolution declaring Rear Admir-
al Sims "an undesirable alien" and de-
nying him readmittance to any Amer
lean port, was introduced in the house
last week, by Representative Gallivan,
Democrat, Massachusetts. The Nreso-
luton offered by Mr.. Gallivan, refer
red to Rear Admiral Sims as "a for
eign citizen Of the United States, but
now connected, unfortunately and un-
happily, with the naval establishment
of this country" On other occasions,
il added, he had publicly stated that
in case of war between the United
States and Great Brittian, one British
ship could easily dispose of four or
five American ships of corresponding
type" and it charged that "Sims has
publicly deprecated his superior Off
GERS in the naval establishment and

KINCSTREE Plans
BIG JULY 9TH
AIR PLANE FLIGHTS, BASE BALL
GAME AND ATHELETICS TO
FEATURE DAY.

At mass meeting of the citizens
of Kngstree Monday night, it was
planned to make the coming Fourth
of July a day to be remembered by
Kingstree folk and visitors from
neighboring counties.
The outstanding feature OF the day
will be the airplane flights by Lieu
tenants Harry ]. Runser and Roscoe
Turner, in their famous British fight
ing plane, tending to demonstrate
that the operation of aeroplanes is a
safe and sane undertaking, and hope
that their demonstration will ali in
the fast development of aerial trans
portation. So far their demonsSra-
tions cover twenty-five States and
Canada and their record for passen-
ger carrying is over 1000 without a
single mishap of any kind.
The lieutenants hold several rec
ords, one being the first to fly over
the Blue Ridge mountains and over
Mt. Mitchell. They are the only fliers
having flown the entire length of the
eastern highlands, taking the aero
plane to the mountaineers.
Passengers will be carried all day
July 4th.
Lieut., Turner will do his famous
diving stunt, hanging by his feet when
plane dives 1000 feet at the speed Of
200 miles an hour. This is the only
fighting plane ever to be no exhibi-
tion in the south.
A number of Athletic stunts are on
the program for the big day and sew
eral prizes are being offered by the
of Kingstree for the days
events.
The grounds here have ample shade
and large crowd is expected. Prepar-
atoms are being made so that those
desiring to bring dinner with them will
have convenient place to eat, and
arrangements will be made to accom-
modate those who prefer to purchase
dinner on the grounds.
A general admission charge of 55c
for adults and 30c for children will be
charged to defray expenses of the at
fractions.

TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN.
President and Congress Must Be
Elected and Installed.

Washington, June IA proclama-
tion formally announcing the decision
of the United States to withdraw its
military government from the Domi-
nican Republic was issued there to-
Gay by Rear Admiral S. S. Robinson,
military governor. The text of the
proclamation was made public here
by the State Department.
In announcing the decision the hope
was expressed that the American mil
itary forces could be withdrawn with
il: 8 months and the Dominican people
were called upon to cooperate to thar
end. The executive power, it was ex-
planned would be exercised by the
military governor until a duly elected
proclaimed president of the republic
shall have taken office and until a
convention of evacuation shall have
been signed by The President and
confirmed by the Dominican congress.
After setting forth the necessity
of establishing a "duly constituted
government of the Dominican Repub-
lie" before the withdrawal may be-
come effective. the proclamation out
lines in detail the method in which,
under the constitution Of that coun-
try, such a government shall be elect
ed.
The military forces of the Repub-
lie are to be Differed by natives
competent to hold such positions, but
with the provision that American
army officers are to be used for such
times as may be necessary to effect
the desired organization of the new
forces.

Confesses Before Being Burned.

Moultrie, Ga, June 20.-John Henry
Wli...--ns, negro, slayer of Lorena
Wilkes, IL year old white girl, was
burned at the stake Saturday by a
mob after he had been convicted of
first degree murder and sentenced to
be hanged July 8. The prisoner was
taken from the officers as he was be-
ing escorted from the courtroom and
was rushed to the scene of his crime
where he was tied to a stump of a
tree.
Williams calmly smoked cigarette
as the match was applied to the fuel
around him and he made but little
outcry as the flames slowly burned
him to death. 1t was reported that he
made full confession. The mob
quietly disappeared after the lynch
ing and thus far no arrests have been
made.
Williams, who at the trial denied
his guilt, is alleged to have made a
full confession to members of the
mob, even telling how the girl beg
ged him to spare her life.
1t was when ne saw the girl pass
his house on her way to a store at
Autreyville, Ca, that he planned the
crime, the negro is said to have de-
clared. He cut her throat with a
knife and then dragged her body into
a shallow pond and weighted it down
with water soaked logs, according to
his alleged confession. The negro
waded out into the pond and showed
mob members where he had hid the
body. He appeared little disturbed.
The mob stood quietly on the banks
of the pond and listened to his story.
1t was to a big stump near the
edge of the pond that Williams was
chained and burned. Wood was piled
around him and gasoline poured on
the fuel. Just before the match was
applied the negro asked for cigar
cite and it was put in his mouth and
lighted for him. He was calmly puff
fing smoke when the match was ap-
piled to the stake. AS the flames
flared up and found their way to
Williams he made no outcry, but his
body went through horrible contor-
tions.
Finally the wind veered, blowing
the smoke and flames away from his
head, making it possible for him to
speak, and the negro began to sing,
continuing until the smoke stiffled
him.

GETS FIVE YEARS
Florence Jury Convicts Negro oi
Throwing Switch.

Charged with wrecking the Sea-
board Air Line passenger train No.
49,, in which Engineer Harmon and
his fireman, Joe jenkins, were hurt,
and number of passengers shaken
up. William Drrant, negro, was de-
clared guilty by jury in the court
of general session at Florence last
week, and sentenced to serve five
years in the S ate penitentiary. Du-
rant, it will be recalled, threw the
switch at a side track near Florence,
derailing the locomotive and one car
of the passenger train. The negro
had pasted white paper over the tar
get to cover the red signal and this IT,
dicated a clear track to the engineer.
Durant had no attorney. He showed
but little interest in the case beyond
an unsuccessful attempt, as the jury
saw it, to prove an aGbi. When
the accused man declared that he
had witnesses who would testify at
the time it occurred, Judge Shipp
granted the time for their summon
ing. Two of the witnesses were
brought into court, but their testi-
mony held little weight with the jury.
Senior Wright, negro, was the Erin
cipal witness against Durant. He
testified to having seen Durant bend
ing over the switch 80 minutes before
the arrival of the train, beating on il
with some heavy instrument. Du-
rant had tried to hide from him, the
witness declared.

LYNCHINC FOLLOWSs
CAPTURE OF NEGRO
MOB RIDDLES BODY OF FUGI.
TIVE SWINGING FROM
A TREE.

Mccormick, June ia posse Of
citizens this afternoon lynched Her
bert Quarles, negro, charged with
criminal assault on white woman of
this county. The negro was identi-
fled by the victim and was ordered
to climb a tree. His body was then
riddled with bullets.
The posse was hourly increased in
numbers and at The time Quarles was
caught at o'clock this afternoon
there were probably 1000 men engag-
ed in the mob.
The negro was found hiding under
some brush about fifteen miles from
the place where the crime was COM
mitted and ABOUT one mile from where
he was reared.
When party of men was in about
ten feet of him be jumped up out of
the brush. Hundreds of shots were
fired in the air as an alarm and the
news spread faster than the local tele-
phone company could get it through
the country. Members Of the posse
soon gathered IN the scene. Mem
from Greenwood, Saluda, Edgefeld,
Aiken, Abbeville, Newberry and Lin
coin county Joined Mccormick county
In the hunt.
From the spot where he was found
Quarles was taken to the home of the
victim.
Says 'This is Wrong"
The negro himself, it is declared,
admitted having committed the crcine
and while he gave no reason for COM
mitting the deed, he issued this state
ment:
"Tell all the colored people that this
is the wrong thing and tell them to
try and be better people and never
try the deed I tried"
After being identified by the victim
and making a full confession the ne
gro was taken to point within the
Robinson graveyard in the slump of
woods where the deed was committed,
about 100 yards from his home, and
with plow line around his neck and
q trace chain around his body he was
ordered to climb G cedar tree.
With the same degree of coolness
he might have gone about climbing
for an o'possum, he broke the limbs
and climbed the tree about fifteen
feet. When he had reached this point
someone went up and chained and tied
him to the tree. When all was In
readiness a volley Of probably 5000
shots was fired. He was left hanging
TO the tree by the mob.
This is the first lynching that has
ever occurred in Mccormick county,
and although the regular June term
of the Court of General Sessions for
Mccormick county is to begin here
tomorrow, the appeal of the officers
and those who do not favor lynchings
fell on deaf ears as the quiet, undem-
onstrative assemblage of men went
about their work.
In fact, no more than half the num-
ber in the hunt. were present when
the negro was put to death, it is said.
Those in charge of the negro, who
had taken him to the home Of his
victim to be identified, had stated, it
is alleged, that they would return to
the town before going about the work
of lynching him.

CHICAGO.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Jan. 7.--Estimates that
the exportable surplus OF, wheat in
Argentina and Australia would total

effect today on the wheat market.
Selling wa rather general and aK-
gressive support lacking country Of

ranged from 1 Ia to 2 cents lower.

$1.66 to 1.66 1-2 were followed BY Z
material further decline and then
something OF a rally.
Corn reflected the action Of wheat.
After opening 1-8 to 3-4 cent lower,
including May at "a SIS to rs, the
market underwent an additional sag

Oats were weak with other cereal,
starting. 1-8 to 3-8 cen off, May AZ

little more. Gs
In the provision market, higher
quotations on hogs failed to have
more than a temporary influence, be-
ing o overbalanced by the weak
ness of grain.
On the decline, there was export
buying and as a result late upturns
showed a little more vigor.. The close
was unsettled at losses Of S-4 to
