A most diabolical crime was committed in Anderson county on the afternoon of November 23rd. A negro ealled at the door of Mr. Perry Craft, who lives about eight miles from the City cf Anderson, and asked for something to eat Mrs. Craft, who was * - * * .-u l:? it.., ,1.... alone in tne nouse, ioiu uim iusi luoio was nothing in the bouse but some cold potatoes. The negro then requested to purchase 5 cents worth but when he saw the potatoes he S9emed to get insulted and exclaimed: "Damn yoo, I believe I'll* kill you " Mrs. Craft became very much alarmed and turned to flee, and on reaching the door on the opposite side of the room, the negro fired once, the ball taking effect in Mrs. Craft's back, near the spine. Her busbaDd and father, who were at work in a near by field, heard the shots and started for the house immediately. After the shootiDg the negro fled, was pursued and captured. The news of the shooting guickly spread and the whole country was aroused and after the capture of the negro, who turned out to be an exconvict from Newberry county, he was taken before bis victim and was identified by her. He was then taken about a half a mile from the 3cene of bis crime and strung to a limb after making a confession. The lynching, it is said, was participated in bv many leading citizens and some negroes. The physicians are of the opinion that Mrs Craft cannot live. , Such are the facts, condensed from the report published in the News and Courier. From the evidence in this case it appears that the lynching of the negro was wholly unjustifiable and without the semblance of excuse. The negro, though demented and an ex-convict, which he unquestionably was should have been given a fair and impartial trial in the lawfully constituted courts of the State. As unprovoked and atrocious as his ?: 1 u: . Crime was?, uia ijruuuiug was ujuic au because participated in by intelligent and leading citizens, whose influence should have been exerted in fcbe preservation of law and order, rather than aiding and assisting in their violation The South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is now in session in Columbia. This is perhaps the largest religious body in the State, there being over 240 ministers aDd 40 laymen together with its effiliatinsr'boards and O W -committees will increase the number : to about 350. Bishop Galloway is the presiding officer. ___________ I The Masons of Batesburg will have a "highfaluting time" tomorrow night. The goat has been fed gun powder, dynamite and cayenne pepper and an extra layer of grease has been put upon the pole and several trembling candidates for enter apprenticeship will be taught the mysteries of the trowel, square and plumb. After labor the Masons will then enter into refreshments. A terrible and fatal boiler explor sion occurred at Detroit, Michigan, on November 26, by which 20 meD were killed and 27 are suffering from terrible cuts, burns and other injuries. Lexington cotton buyers are payiog 7j! to 7-i cents today, while other markets are paying only 7J: to 7? cents. This proves that Lexington is the best cotton market in the neighboring cotton markets. ! Ulllllllll III MITMI??WM?! ! On the Wing. [Continued from Page Three.] Friday evening caught us driving into the growing and enterprising town of Brookland, but at this time we made no stop and continued our journey over into the capitai city? the Queen City of the Xew South We spent a portion of that night with Mrs. J. W. Earhardt, the only sister ! of the publisher. It will doubtless be I nlensina news to the many friends r* ? *? ? she left in Lexington to learn that she is doing well in her new home and among her new friends. Jake, the eldest son with her, holds a responsible position in the State Dispensary, where he has by strict integrity, industrious habits and close attention to busicesp, won his wa7 up and the confidence and respect cf his superiors. Manning, her other son, holds a lucrative position with ''Lever, the Shoe Man,*' and his polite and accommodating manner in attending to the wants of the patrons of this leading shoe house, has made him a prime favorite and deservedly popular with all. Early Saturday morning we recrossed the beautiful Congaree, whose yellow tinged waters moves in ceaseless flow to mingle with those cf the Wateree, and its willow lined banks made a charming and picturesque picture. On arriving|at our stopping place we found the people astir in their preparations for the business of the day. Brookland is certainly on the high road to success. It enjoys the support of a prosperous and fertile, back country as well as that of a large Dumber of factory operatives who have made their home on this, the right side of the river. It is surpiising at the large volume of business beiDg done there. The lots and thoroughfares were literally crowded with vehicles of every description, from the stately and commodious four-horse wagon down to the unpretentious little bull ox cart. The merchants seemed to be in good spirits over the trade outlcok and had their hands full in bartering and selling commodities. Handsome j | business houses and residences imi prove and beautify its streets, and its religious and educational advantages are second to no town of its size in the State. The morals of the place are exceptionally good and its people are generous and hospitable. It is our firm conviction tfiat the day is not far in the future when Boookland will be a city of magnificent distances and a business centre of huge proportions. "We are all looking forward to and expecting this result. The people were prompt in payiDg their taxes. Good fortune threw us in the cosy borne of Messrs. Ed Shull and P. J. Wessinger, where we found the charming Mrs. Shull, nee Miss Nettie Gable and the pleasant Mrs. WessiDger had prepared a bountiful dinner that would have tempted the appetite of a dyspeptic It was an elegant affiir in all its ap pointments. All the dishes were deliciously prepared and served with that grace for which these ladies are noted. After leaving Brookland we started via the dirt road for home wheie we | arrived after a pleasant drive. Last week we were in the famous Black creek section, but the fieh had received a message over the grape vine telephone that we were on the road coming with the speed of the wind to invade their peaceful haunts with afelonious intent of breakfasting off of some of their loved ones, so they hung their harps on the willow trees, packed their trunks and migrated to safer waters until all danger of being caught by our tempting bait was passed, the consequence was that when we arrived on our camping ground not a fish?do, not even a top water minnow?was to be seen. But more about this another time. 1 Our Friends, the Druggists. It is a pleasure to testify to the generally high character of druggists. But because of a few exceptions to i. the rule, it is necessary tj uauuuu the public to be on guard against imitations of Perry Davis' Painkiller. See that you get the right article, the soothing, helpful Painkiller that was used in your family before you were born. Don't be taken into buying a substitute. There is but one Painkiller, Perry Davis'. HOME AND CHILD Does your horse ''feel his oats"? What a difference between the grain-fed and the grass-fed horse! The first strong and full of ginger, the second flabby, weak and tired cut before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children arc not alike either. ? * i ^ r ^ 1 One is rosy, Dn^nt-cvea, iuu > o * of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. The feeding again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their cats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new appetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones.? It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordinary food do its I This picture represents Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and Ls on the Lfflg-\~A wrapper of every bottle. ! jit Send for free sample. 409 Pearl St., New Vork. 50c and $1. all druggists.
