Shortly before noon an unknown negro was seen in the neighborhood of the Brandis home ang the farmers gavechase, The negro took refuge in aslip of woods near by and the mob lost track of him. An hour lat- er another negro was seen and he was pursued several miles. In cross ing a creek that had been swollen by therecent rains the negro was drown- ed. His body was recovered late this afternoon and brought to this city. The deceased is believed to have been the one who made the assault on Mrs- Brandis, though he has not yet been identified. Feeling against the negroes through the country dis- tricts is growing, and threats are being made by the farmers in and around Armstrong station that no negroes will be tolerated in that vicinity. The feeling at Howell has also become intensitied. For several monthe no negroes have been allow- ed to work there, and now they are not even tolerated in the town. Their Ship to Surrendering. Viadivostok, April 30 —Admiral Yeezen’s equadron, that executed the daring raid along the Corean coast, sinking several small Japanese ves- sels, has returned. The »dmiral, as well as his officers and crew, is singing the praiee of the heroiem of the Japanese soldiers who preferred to go down with the trans. port Kinshin-Maru rather than sur- render. There were 200 of them and they went to death fighting, their guns in action as the water closed over them. They ecorned the opportunity tosur- render. The story of the equadron’s ex- ploite is as follows: The equadron, consisting of the armored cruisers Rossia, Rurick and Gromoboi and the protected cruirer Rogatyr, put to cea at daybreak, April 23., The Rurick returned the following day but the others: pro- ceeded to Won San (Gen-San), Corea, and hove to off the town during the morning of April 25, about 5 miles from the entrace of the bay. 3 The same night, about 11 o'clock, transport, the Kinshiu-Maru, was squadron and signalled: “I am bringing you coal.” The Russian commander promptly signalled in reply: “Stop instantly.” lower boats and steam pinnaces with escape, but the Russian steam cut- ters captured them all. Hotchkiss gune of 47 millimetres. At the outset, it looked as if no one was left on board, but, on examina- tion, it was found that the cabin was locked and barred. Therein the Rus- sians found eix infantry officers who surrendered without resistance and were taken on board in Rurick. In another part of the ship, 130 infan- trymen, who refused to surrender, were found. Admiral- Yeszen, whose vessel was about 1600 yarde away, ordered his men to leave his trane- port. The Japanese soldiers then opened fire and wounded a Russian coxswain. Afterwards the transport was sent to the bottom by means of @ mechanical mine and a few shells. The Japanese on board did not cease firing and made no attempt to save themselves, although they had alaunch in which they could have left the transport. The fire of the Japanese actually continued until the waves closed over the ship. The transport had on board not only ammunition but 2,000 tons of coal for Admiral Makamura. Shot Her Own Husband.

Bronson, a lawyer of Albany, N. Y., at the Planters this morning, “have no idea how much your state is talked about in the East, in regard to the stamping out of bribery in public office. No man in the nation, unless it is the President, is more dis- cussed than your Mr. Folk.
