It iaj fcraelinf The 'Nw' and
Courier, Charleston, N ,C, to di
rect attention to the fact that
Senator Tillman, who was Govern
or of the State in 1894, did exact
ly what he now censures the
President so bitterly for doing '
dismissed without honor an entire
company of the State militia.
There is -no possible doubt that
Tillman did just that thing. The
documents to prove it are on file.
Tillman as an opponent of violent
methods in office and stickler for
the rights of local -self-government
is a good deal of a Joke.
On the occasion, to which The
TiJwa and Courier alludes, he de-
w r tm ' I
dares two counties of the State in
insurrection and put them under
martial law because of row re
sulting from searches of private
residences -by his dispensary con
stables. In this trouble a good
citizen andne of the constables,
we believe, were killed and the
constables were chased away,
Tillman overrode county and mu
nicipal authorities. He seized
telegraph offices, and' not only sent
troops to the counties, but threat
ened to turn loose on the city of
Columbia a rabble of volunteers
of his partisans and to suppress
the publication of the State news
paper. The members of the
company he disbanded, sent their
resignations unanimously rather
than perform the distasteful task
assigned thrn of supervising ajl
telegrams sent and received by
their fellow-citizens at the West
ern Union office in Columbia.

militia company, composed of re

Winston - Salem, , Jan., 6.
About a week ago Peter Easley,
the only colored man. connected
with the mail carrying force here,
mysteriously disappeared.
was not heard from until yester
day when Chief of Police Thomas
received a telegram from Fort
Worth. Texas, asking if Easley
was wanted here.
Chief Thomas investigated and
found that the- colored man had
left a number of debts unpaid.
The postoffice force and letter
carriers had loaned him amounts
varying from $5 to more than-a
$100. His wife claims to have
known nothing of. his departure.
He was appointed carrier when the
i service was first established, dai
ing the administration of Dr. W.
H. Wheeler as postmaster. The
negro had the confidence of both
whfte people and black. The of
ficer at Fort Worth was notified
that Easley had done nothing for
which he could be arrested. j

MIHE SWfNOI ER
WanlelS to Auwer Charges of Swindling
Investors Oat o! $1,000,000.
Philadelphia, Jan, 4. -R. Ct
Floex, alias. & who1
has : 6een a; ugit iveilfroife New -
York since" 1903. where "he is want- j
ed to answer charges of grand lar- i
ceuy and swindling credulous in
vestrrs out of about $1,000, XK) on
alleged bogus mining operations,
was arrested in this city today.
Flower, who the detectives say,
is the most colossi mine swindl
er of the age, was captured in a
room in one of the big office
buildings in the centre of the city,
where it develops he has been lo
cated for some time. Under the
nameof Prof Oxford, the detec
tives say, he waa: seeking to secure
money from investors ty repre
senting that he had a ifronderful
chemical process whereby.he could
ma1 e diamonds and othep precious
stones and a patent brick.
The arrest of Flower ends a
chase by the detectives and postal
authorities, that carried them
through;Mexico, Central America,
part of South America , and Can
ada, besides many "points in the
United States. Following nis
operations in New York, through
which, it is said by detectives,
many society women lost money.
Flower jumped bail after indict
ment in Mav, 1903, He was un
der $20,000 bond.
hen the detectives eventually
ran him down, they found that he
was so changed in appearance that
they could scarcely recognize' him.
As Prof. Oxford he was apparent
ly a benevolent old gentlemtn ho
wore V long white beard, and
though the detectives had photo
graphs of him, they were afraid
they had made a mistake and kept
him under surveillance tor sever
al days before they were willing;
to make the arrest. When he
was taken into custody he denied
being the missing Dr, Flower, but
after being placed in a cell at the
central station, admitted his identity.
