Whole No. 9,387. RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 24, 1900 $3 a Year, "FARM BURNING." A Wide Protest Against Great Britain's Policy in South Africa. POLICY OF EXTERMINATION Kitchener Will Expel All News paper Correspondents, and Close Every Avenue. By folosxaph to The Tiroes. LONDON, Nov. 4. The Sjicetntor, usually ilio thick mill thin supporter of the government, .-.today, protests against, the "farm burning" policy in 8011th Africa. "We see ncitner sense nor justice," says thnt m)H'r, "in burning houses nnd worrying women nntl eliililren." The Evening Star learns that the race animosity nt the Cape has been vastly intensified by England's policy, and the Dutch colonists have so vig orously boycotted lirltish goods that many firm 3 have been ruined. The appointment of Kitohencr ns coinniandi-r in chiefwill not help mat ters from a humanitarian standpoint. When his grim methods of war are put in operation there will probably be an even louder outcry against the llritish policy. Probably the public w ill not be informed, however, as it is said Kitchener's first act wiil he to expel all newspaper correspondents from the country. KRUGER IN PARIS By telegraph to The Times.

THE WESTERN CONFERENCE Asked to Cooperate on Orphan age. Bishop's Address. The Western North Carolina Metho dist Conference Is in session at Greensboro, Hishop Morrison presid ing. Among the reports read was one from the North Carolina Conference Orphanage, located in this city, re questing the co-operation of the West ern Conference in behalf of this insti tution. '$433.35 was raised for the Galveston Methodists. Hishop Morri son in an address said it is necessary for preachers, in the 1ise of discipline among their members, lo live very close to Christ, and that to turn a member out of the church is tin- last resort; !I5 out of every 100 church members can be more effectively reached by admonition expressed in the spirit of love than by turning them out of the church. "Evangelists are, not. to take the pastors' places. Personally I am opixised to using the pulpit us a place to denounce evil in such a way as specifying the sin of card-pbiying and theatre-truing, etc. How many young people do yon sup pose go to the theatre or euchre pnrtv after evening prayers? A prnyerless ! home is usually behind a worldly 11 If. Society, the State and the church all come out of the home, nnd if we keep the home right we will have 110 trouble with worldliness."

ONLY ONE WITNESS Day Consumed Hearing Evidence of Dr. Thompson. The preliminary hearing in the case of Sam M.ingum for killing Pete Grif fis continued through the morning and unless Justice Marconi should hold a night session there is 110 )xssi bility of concluding the ease today, and it will be resumed Monday. This was the fourth day of the hearing. The only witness examined this morning was Dr. S. W. Thompson, who has an extensive practice in that section of the counfy. Dr. Thoin son was sent for after the shooting occurred 011 the night of October 7th. He. found the body of Gril'fis lying fiw'e down in the path between 50 and 75 yards from the place where he was shot. Dr. 'Thompson thought that his wound must have been in the heart from the fact that there was no ex ternal hemorrhage, nnd that the blood was not congested almut the bruise' on his face, where he struck the ground. Dr. Thompson had a. talk with the defendant. Sam Mangiiui when he went to the place, and Matigum expressed regret over the killing and in reply to Dr. Thompson's question, described the boisterous conduct of the deceased and his companion on (hat fatal night. Dr. Thompson has been kept here at the hearing for four days away from his practice. Dr. .Moore, the county coroner, is another witness for the defense, who has lx-en detained in Raleigh from the start. The idea was that Dr. Moore should be present to refute by his evidence any impeach ment that might be made of the coro ner's examination held just after the killing. Ibis is one of the longest prelimina ry hearings on record in this county, and both sides are now anxious to complete it. The prosecution will hold that there is strong cause for sendinjf Man- gum 011 to court: that the deceased j was unarmed and shot in the back, i and further that the defendant had been drinking. The defense will be that Griff'is nnd his companions were profane in the hearing of Mangum's wile. That- Ly man. Gril'fis' companion, came up to his house witli a pistol in a threaten ing way. that later when Gril'fis n preached .Mangtini wilh his hand on his hip pocket he must have got the pistol from Lvinstn. That Griffis struck at Mangitni, with his right hand still behind nun, and whirled around iis he struck so tint Mangiiui fired, then wounded him in the back. , Lyman, who would be an important witness, has never been found since the killing.
