NEW YORK. May S.-Mont Pelee. from

from Fort de France. But. the dispatch
adds, the inhabitants of the island are In
“'* terrified state.
The volcano is puzzling all the scient
ists. some of whom say the mountain has
thus far made only a beginning.
Morne Rouge was saved from destruc

priest who was there.
Two correspondents believing the vol
cano had. for a time at least subsided
planned sn expedition to the mountain for
the purpose of securing photographs. Sev

After ■ wearying march which took
most of-Monday, Morne Rouge was reach

by a kindly disposed priest, who gave such
Information as was tn his possession. He
insisted upon a pause being made for re-

’tesy of the priest that saved the expedi
tion from destruction. The original plan
was that the visit should be made to the
esater as soon as possible and a quick
return be made to Fort de France to
avoid all danger.
While the evening meal was being pre

From their homes the Inhabitants of the
village ran in a panic. Some did not wait
to see what was happening, but hurried
ever the mountains In the direction of
’Fort de France. Scores went into the
eburch and fell upon their knees, but by
far the greater number ran without dar

The display of lightning was terrific and

’When the start was made on the return
trip to Fort de France the guides and

mud. The detonations were of sufficient
strength to make the ground tremble. It

mountain tops swayed above their heads..
To add to the horror of the situation
they encountered every now and then a
fer-de-iance. deadliest of all sna*es. Scat
tered specimens of these serpents, of
which thousands have been killed by the
eruptions, were seen amid the glare from
the volcano and the flashes of lightning,
gliding ever the rocks and hurrying away
as if they. too. had learned that their
mountain home was no longer a safe

knellto lynching
SOUNDED 111 SENATE
SENATOR GALLINGER, OF NEW
w HAMPSHIRE, DECLARES
THERE MUST BE
REMEDY.
WASHINGTON, May 27-Soon after sen
ate convened yesterday Mr. GalHnfrer, of
New Hampshire, offered a resolution pro-
Adding that the judiciary committee of the
senate should make an investigation Into
the subject of lynchings in the United
States with a view of ascertaining wheth
er there is any remedy for them. .
Mr. Gallinger said he introduced the res
olution in full view of the fact that'he
might be charged with precipitating a sec
tional controversy though nothing was
further from his thoughts. He said lynch
ings were not confined to the south. Hor
rible cases bad occurred in the north and
white men as well as black had been the
victims. Throughout the country, intense
interest was manifested In the subject.
He thought It imperative that the judi
ciary committee should take borne action
upon the subject.
He had read the Associated Press ac
count of the burning of a negro in Texas
a few days ago. He said history did not
furnish a more fiendish instance of mob
wrath. and Fox’s Book of Martyrs was
tame In comparison. The whole wretched
business, he said, was a disgrace to Amer
idui manhood and in the light of which
the alleged atrocities in the Philippines
paled into insignificance. The Spanish in
quisition did not furnish a case exceed-,
Ing that one in inhumanity. He appre
hended that it would be said that the
Federal government was powerless and
that ths states had exclusive Jurisdiction.
If so the American people desired to know
it. Public sentiment should be aroused
to prevent such Inhuman atrocities.
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, presentea and
had read an account of a lynching in
Kansas, saying that he wanted it shown
that the crime of lynching was confined
to no state or section. He said he hoped
the New Hampshire senator would not
single out his state when he wanted to
bring such cases before the senate.
After remarks by Mr. Hoar upon the
constitutional feature of the case, the res
olution went ever. . -
The Philippines bill then was taken up,
and Mr. Patterson of Colorado, made a
speech in opposition to it.
In beginning. Mr. Patterson read ex
tracts from a report of a minister's meet
ing held recently in Boston in the course
of which the minister stated that the
American flag had been disgraced In the
Philippines by the commission of trage
dies and horrors in the island although
no special attack was made upon the
oresident and secretary of war.
Mr. Patterson referred to the editorials
from the Denver News, which Mr. fora
-ker had read in the course of his speech.
These editorials strongly urged the re
tention of the Philippines islands and ad
vocated the government's policy as to the
islands. Mr. Patterson said he was re
sponsible for the utterances of the Den
ver News then and now. He said he was
a type of hundreds of thousands of Amer
ican people, who had held views similar
to those expressed in the Denver News
editorials and subsequently had changed
those views.
Mr. Pattersen declared that after the
capture of Manila, “a censored press, de
liberately guided by the powers in Wash
ington. had misrepresented the situation
In the Philippines.”
GIRL DIES IN AGOnF~
FROM FRIGHTFUL BURNS
CHICAGO, May 28.—Craxed by burning

gasoline stove on which she was prepar
ing supper last night, Miss Josephine

burned. The bills, which represented the
savings of herself and brother for sev
eral years, were burned.. The girl died
two hours later.

Captain Conn Carr, which escorted him to
the building. In his ride through the
shaded roadway of the campus he was
greeted by hundreds of school children
waving American flags and flags on which
were inscribed the Chinese dragon.
- On his arrival at the college he was

ffIBHINGIBNiNTS
NEGROES TO BE
FARMERS
URGES NEGROES TO LEAVE CITIES
. AND GO BACK TO THE FARM.
SAYS IDLE CITY NEGROES
ARE A DISGRACE.
Booker T. Washington, president of the
negro normal school at Tuskegee, Ala.,
delivered an address Tuesday afternoon
at the negro conference which was held
at Atlanta university. He repeated the
views he has long held that the wisest
and safest policy for the southern negro
Is to adapt the race to it® present needs
and conditions. The best way to do this,
says Washington, is for the negro to get
possession of the soil and till it, and he
made some able arguments in this cause.
He was heard by a large audience, in
cluding a number of white persons.
In part, Booker Washington said:
“I hope you will excuse me if, for a few
minutes, 1 seem to discuss the occupation
of our people in a broader way than the
narrow one suggested by the subject
under discussion at this conference. • I
want to say as a foundation to my re
marks that my belief la that the proper
way to begin in the development of a
race would be the same as with an indi
vidual. The proper place to begin the de
velopment of an individual is just where
the Individual la. We can begin in no wiser
way to develop any race than to begin just
where the race finds itself at the mo
ment of beginning.
"I am sure you will agree with me when
I assert that by far the largest portion of
our people are engaged in some form of
agriculture—are engaged In the cultivation
of the soil. Since the bulk of our people
are to live out of the «oil, are accustomed
to agricultural life, it is my opinion that
agrlctyture should te made the chief in
dustry of our people, at least for a long
period of years. The negro should be en
couraged to own and cultivate the soli; In
a word, as a rule, should be encouraged
to remain In the country districts. The ne
gro Is at his best In moat cases when in
agricultural life; in too many cases he is
at his worst when in contact with the life
of the city. Os course, out of agriculture,
the fundamental Industry, will grow most,
if not all. the skilled occupations with
which, I understand, this conference is
now specifically dealing.
“In order that the negro may be induced
to remain In the country we should see
to It -that life Is not only bearable and
safe, but attractive and comfortable.
“If there is one thing at the present
time that should give us more serious con
cern than another, it is the large Idle
class that lingers about the sidewalks, bar
rooms and dens of sin and misery in our
large citlea. The negro boy should be given
such an idea of the beauty and dignity of
.agricultural life that rather than yield to
the temptation of going to the city he will
return to his father's farm, and there
raise 50 bushels on an acre of ]and,by rea
son of his intelligence and skill where only
25 bushels or lew were growing before.”
Senator Tillman is telling the people of
South Carolina that the story that the
Democratic senators left the senate cham
ber when he made his famous speech
concerning niggers and the sand cure is
all a dirty He. promulgated by the north
ern newspapers. Again Tillman shows
that he never overlooks an opportunity tc
slander his own party.
RECORDS OF STATE
' ARE ROTTING AWAY
Maps of counties and official records
of the state in the office of Secretary of
State Phil Cook are rapidly becoming
useless, on account of the fact that the
legislature has made absolutely no provis
ion for repairing and rebinding them. Sec
retary of State Cook has called the at
tention of the general assembly to the
matter time and time again but no ap
propriation for the preservation of these
valuable documents has ever been made.
Official maps of 34 counties are missing.
Some of the records of the state are torn
and tattered from constant use. Binding
from many of the valuable documents
handed down from the days of General
James Oglethorpe are gone. The records
are In bad shape and nobody realizes the
condition of affairs better than Secretary
of State Cook.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
he said:
"There are but few records among the
archives of the state of more Importance
than the maps of the seveial counties of
the state. Often appeal is made to them
by county authorities and land owners to
settle important questions sometimes In
volving pecuniary interests of counties
and Individuals. It is therefore of the
greatest importance that these maps
should be preserved and reproduced from
time to time as they wear out from con
stant use. This has been the unbroken
policy of the state since its organization.
But for about 30 years no provision has
been made to pay for repairing maps dam
aged by constant use and for replacing
those entirely worn out. Os the maps of
the 137 counties in the state six are entire
ly worn out and. gone, about 30 so badly
worn that unless immediate attention is
given them it will be impossible to make
correct copies of them, and about 100
still serviceable, most of them in a legible
state.
SELL ISLANDS
IS ADVICE
OF MONEY
MISSISSIPPI SENATOR SAYS
“GET RID OF ISLANDS AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE”~HIS
REASONS FOR STATEMENT.
CHARLOTTE, N. C.. May 28.-In an ad
dress before the Manufacturers' club in
Charlotte last night Senator Money used
the following language concerning the
Philippines:
“When the war with Spain broke out,
over 5,000 young men from the civilised
portions of the islands were in Spanish
universities, and they are the people
against whom we are waging warfare.
Os the 82 members of Aguinaldo's provis
ional congress there were more college
and university graduates than ever sat in
the senate of the United States at one
time. Therefore more men. by 10 to 1.
among the members who spoxe different
languages from their own than ever at
one time occupied seats in our senate.
The president of the congress had written
books that had been translated all over
Europe. When we thin* of ail the con
ditions that exist in the Philippines we
may well ask the question. 'What is the
compensation for all this?' The answer
is: 'Nothing.'
“In those Islands the white mah will be
come a degenerate In two generations and
one year is as long as an American soldier
can remain there. We should get rid of
the islands as quickly as possible.”

JIO.OOiLLED' TO
ft YOUNG SOLDIER
HOW COL. H. G. SPRINGS, OF CHAR
LOTTE, DIVIDED HIS ESTATE
OF $500,000.
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Mky 28.-Among
the beneficiaries by the will of Col. H. G.
Springs, who died here Sunday evening,
leaving an eatate of $500,000, is Holland
Springs, a distant relative of the de
deceased, who la at present in the Phil
ippines as a private soldier. Some time
ago he sent Colonel Springs a pair of red
slippers with large silver buckles. They
seemed to please the old man and they
were the direct cause of the young private
being left the sum of SIO,OOO. Another
beneficiary by special legacy Is a young
son of Dr. J. H.’ McAden, of Charlotte,
who assisted Colonel Springs in collecting
rents, etc. Young McAden gets two bus
iness houses valued at about $16,000. The
rest of Colonel Springs' estate is divided
pro rata among a number of distant
heirs, each receiving about $33,000.
The luncheon table of spring and sum
mer must be cool, light and inviting. Small
glass dishes placed at the corners of the
table now hold well-selected sprigs of
watercress, which is to be nibbled In the
place of radishes. The salads show some
strong note of color. A bright-toned salad
is composed of small, well-shaped toma
toes, stuffed with an equal mixing of
white celery and apples cut in very small
pieces. A good deal of sugar is added to
the mayonnaise dressing of such a salad
and It rests also abundantly as an upper,
crust below the replaced lid of the toma
to. The most delightful salad at present
is the fruit salad, served in a scooped-out
. pineapple. In its making all the season
able, fruits are cut finely, covered rather
generously with maraschino, and then left
to remain some time in the husk of the
pineapple. The strong, delicious odor of
this, fruit permeates the whole contents
apd when served very cold, the salad
forms one of the truly pleasing novelties
of the spring.
“Some of them, however, are inaccurate
because many county lines have been
changed since they were made. These
changes, I think, should be made on the
maps so as to show the lines of each
county as they now are. Some provision
should be made to look after these mat
ters. I have no official maps of Appling,
Baker, Campbell. Coffee, Colquitt, Dade,
Dodge, Dooly, Douglas. Elbert, Fayette,
Hall, Irwin, Laurens, Liberty. Lowndes,
Oconee, Pauling. Pike. Pulaski, Rabun.

tirely and absolutely useless.
"It is also necessary that something
should be done for the preservation of the
old records. Many of these manuscript
volumes are in a good state of preserva
tion, but a few much soiled, defaced and
worn by constant use for ICO years, should
be transcribed. Many should be rebound,
the old binding being rotten and worth
less. These old records should be pre
served because they are useful and nec
essary to this office and the people of
Georgia. But aside from this patriotism,
state pride and a proper regard for the
memory, and achievements of our an
cestors. ought to prompt the people to
preserve and jealously guard the ar
chives of our state. This duty has been
neglected and these valued relics of the
past glory of Georgia have been uncared
for and for want of a small appropria
tion they will in a few years be lost. I
earnestly hope that the next legislature
will see fit to give a few dollars for this
work."
Governor Candler and other state
house offers agree with Mr. Cook that
the records and maps should be cared for.
GEORGIA MAN FALLS
HEIR TO A FORTUNE
WINDER. Ga., May 28.—Mr. John L.
Harris, a well known and respected citi
zen of Jackson county, living about three
miles from here, has just received a tele
gram informing him that he had gained
his case in a California court, and that he
would receive $68,000 from the estate of his
father.
It appears that before the war the Oili
er of Mr. Harris was a citizen of Jackaon
county, but that he went to the west in
search of gold, leaving his wife and son
in Georgia. He kept up a regular corres
pondence with them until the beginning
of the civil war. Then his letters ceased
coming, and nothing further was heard
from him until hla death. He died about
four years ago, and his will went up be
fore a court to be probated. A cousin in
California objected to the will, saying
that Mr. Harris came from Georgia and
left a wife and son there.
The will was held up and a diligent
search instituted for the wife and son. Mr.
Harris was located near here, and was
notified. He left at once for California
and set up his claim as the rightful heir
and gained the case. The cousin who no
tified Mr. Harris was not remembered un
der the will, but Mr. had made her
a present of $5,000.

INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS
WASHINGTON. May 27.—President Roosevelt
yesterday informed a number of senators who
called on him that he would sign the Indian
appropriation bill, some of his objections to it
having been met by special legislation. He
still opposed the provision giving the exclusive
right to the Florence mining comilany to pros
pect for one year all the mineral lands on the
Uintah reservation in Utah. It Is understood
that a bill will be introduced in both houses
of congress repealing this provision allowing
the general public to explore the land and es

‘■POPS" GIVEN COLD
DEAL BT DEMOCRATS
EMANUEL COUNTY POPULISTS
AND DEMOCRATS IN A WRAN-
GLE-HELD A SPIRITED
MEETING SATURDAY.
SWAINSBORO. Ga.. May 26.-On April
26th, last, at a citizens’ meeting held In
the court house in this place, a resolution
was unanimously passed inviting all per
sons, “regardless of past party affilia
tions to meet with the Democrats here on
Saturday, May 24th, for the purpose of
electing a new Democratic executive
committee.
The Populists met here on May 17th.
passed resolutions unconditionally accept
ing the Democrats' Invitations and named
a committee to present the resolutions to
the meeting on May 24th.
In the meantime some of the leading
Democrats of the county got together and
decided it bad policy to let the Populists
participate in the selection of the Demo
cratic committee and prevailed upon the
chairman. Hon. Frank Mitchell, to call a
meeting for May 15th. This was done and
a good number of Democrats met here on
that day and a new Democratic committee
elected. Saturday morning the commit
tee met and called a primary election for
each district in the county to be held on
Wednesday, July 23d. fokthe selection of
representatives and counw officers.
After the committee meeting a large
and representative body of citizens of all
parties met In the court house, with Hon.
Frank Mitchell, presiding. The Populists,
through Hon. W. R. Kemp. presented
their resolutions to the meeting, but as
the adoption of these resolutions woald
have declared the action of the Demo
crats' meeting of May 15th void, a spirited
debate arose and the resolutions were pot
voted upon.
A large element of the Democrats were
not in sympathy with the meeting of May
15th, which elected an executive commit
tee, and they were all in favor of receiv
ing the Populists' resolutions and admit
ting them back into the party. On the
other hand, influential Democrats who
took part In the meeting of May 15th of
fered resolutions unconditionally inviting
the Populists back into the party, and
insisted that their resolution be voted up
on first.
The Populists said they could vote upon
no resolution pt the Democrats until they
were admitted into the party and then
the serious split came. The Populists
marched out of the meeting, followed by
a large number of Democrats and the
meeting was unceremoniously adjourned.
Many Democrats and Populists plead for
harmony in the meeting, but no sat.sfac
tory arrangement could be made.
The Populists are exceedingly wrathy,
saying that they were “invited to the
Democratic household and then had the
door slammed in their faces.”

revenue for blanks for the payment of re
bat 4 ©n tobacco under the act of April

the office had not as yet been supplied
with the Mank forms for that purpose, but

This rebate will be on tobacco and
snuff only the hands of the dealers up
to July Ist next. All warrants for claims
made July ‘l. 1901. have been paid and mail
ed to the claimants and with but few ex-,/
cepttonf’ appear Yb have been properly de-
Hvened.LWhere warrants have not been
delivered they have* been re
turr.ee! To the revenue office by the post*
masters as unclaimed matter. These a¥e
held now awaiting inquiry from owners.

and this has caused them to be returned.
