Tardy Justice Came to Ncuro by a Death Bed Confession. Columbia, 9. C., March 31.—Ander son, Nix, a negro who has served seven years of a life sentence in the peni tentiary for a crime he never com mitted, has just been released as the result of a death-bed confession by the leal culprit. It is one of the few in stances where justice was duped by those who allowed an innocent man to bear the hard fruits of another’s deed. The story of the confession whereby Nix is relieved of all connection with the murder of Jennings Green, another negro, committed more than seven years ago, in Barnwell, reveals the conscience of five or six white men and a negro who have been aware that Nix was not the murderer of Green. For seven years they preserved a strict silence, and it was not until now that the truth of the affair has come to light. The circumstances were told by Duncan Owens, former ly the town marshal of Barnwell, when he realized that he was going out of the world with a wrong undone. His story was this: A negro excursion train had come to town and a difficul ty arose on the public square of Barn well. When the shooting began the town marshal hurried toward the spot. As he reached the scene he met Jen nings Green, the murdered man. As he ran past Marshal Owens the lat ter fired and the negro fell, dying al most instantly. Owens kept quiet as to what he had done, as did the other witnesses of the deed. Nix had been seen running from the spot, turning and firing as he fled. He was sus pected of having fired the shot that killed Green; was arrested, tried and sentenced to life Imprisonment in the penitentiary, barely escaping the gal lows. All this was revealed by the town marshal to a negro who had been his deputy, and to whom alone was con fided the confession. Since that time, three years ago, the secret has been kept by the negro and by those who, while not present at the confession, were aware of the cir cumstances of Green’s death. Lately the facts have leaked out and came to the ear of the Governor, who was prompt to exercise the pardoning power. Nix is out of the penitentiary, a free man, after having resigned him self to the fate of never leaving its "alls again in life. In view, however, of Nix having been seen to Are into the mass of negroes on the square at the time of the affray, there is yet an element of justice in his seven- J'ears’ imprisonment. It is only that he was punished for the wrong crime, hnd insomuch his hard experience has been also an unusual one. Thought It Unloadedi One Dead. Columbia, 9. C..

Beaufort's Appeal to the South Car olina Phosphate Comniissiou. Beaufort, S. C., March 31. —The Board of Trade held a meeting at the Com mercial Club rooms last night, and measures were taken to present an other proposition to the State Phos phate Commission in regard to the Central Mining Company, located on Ladies Island. The company claims that if the royalty of 25 cents on every ton is not reduced it will have to go out of business. The royalty last year amounted to SB,OOO, and the company recently asked to have it. reduced to 60 per cent., which would mean a loss to the state of $4,800 on the basis of last year's out put. The company pays each year $70,000 for wages and supplies, a great deal of which is spent in Beaufort, be sides the royalty and S7OO ih taxes. The plant cost $106,000. Thus it is considered Injurious to the town and county to compel the abandonment of the property, with the accompanying loss of the revenue it brings to the state for the sake of the difference of $4,800 In royalties. An early confer ence with the commissioners it is ex pected will result in a favorable con sideration of the reduction. collegTboyTto"" DEBATE THE TARIFF.
