Two boys wake at night, fearing for their lives. Both miss school and their families are scared to answer the door. But the two families' sides to this horntic tale are as dinerent as black and white. A white couple, Betty Mims, 43, and her husband, 62-year-old Benjamin, were charged with lynching ? or mob violence ? after a 10-year-old black boy said they tied him to a tree, blasted a shotgun near his head, hit him with a crowbar and choked him with a belt until he passed out. Mrs. Mims said Wednesday she has received harassing phone calls since the story was first reported last week.

"We have not done a thing, and this has nothing to do with race whatsoever." Mrs. Mims said she has pulled her son out of school because of threats to his life. "My child wakes up at 3 o'clock in the morning crying," she said. The boy who accused the Mimses of the assault told police the couple, their 10-year-old son and a 13-year-old niece attacked him while he playing at the STATE continued from page 1 you will need to do a better job. "Progress has been made, but no one is satisfied," Beasley said. "While some of our schools can compete with anybody, others are languishing in mediocrity." The governor outlined plans to expand both Governor's Schools. He proposed doubling the size of the Governor's School for Science and Mathematics, which currently enrolls 130 students. "There are more applicants than room. It is time to take this unqualified success story to another level by doubling Want to I;::':;.!;-iu ju. Vwtfl Thursday, January 25 1996 irated by allega Mims' home on Jan. 5. The Mims' son was a playmate, the boy said. The boy said the Mimses claimed he and his family would be killed if he told. The boy reported the alleged incident the same night, but the couple was not arrested until Jan. 16. Clarendon County Sheriff Hoyt Collins said it took investigators that long to look into the case and decide which charges to file. A message left for Collins was not immediately returned. I he National Association tor the Advancement of Colored People condemned Collins on Wednesday for waiting so long to make an arrest. The civil rights organization also criticized Collins for not posting guards at the black boy's home, which is about 500 feet away from the Mims' home. State NAACP interim executive director Connie Barnes said she has asked the U.S. Justice Department and the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate Collins' handling of the case. "Due to the nature of this crime, the victim and his family are extremely fearful," Barnes said. "Because of the attack... and the death threats made against this young man and his family, we believe his civil rights have been its size and making this unique program available to more deserving students," he said. He also proposed establishing the Governor's School for the Arts as a yearround institution in Greenville. Beasley closed his address with a welcome and a reassurance. "Everything I've discussed tonight is within our grasp, ladies and gentlemen. Fm confident. Fm confident in our people and in you." ' write? The Ga reporters.

The FBI acknowledged it is investigating the incident, but would not say Wednesday if anything had been found. SLED spokesman Hugh Munn said no formal investigation had been launched. Jerome McCray, head of the Clarendon County NAACP branch, said the alleged victim was having nightmares, and Barnes said the boy's , father was rushed to a hospital pmpropnw mnm TSipcrtnv nicrht hpransp of stress-related problems. , The father was home Wednesday, but a friend of the family said he was i not talking to anyone. No one answered knocks at the door. NAACP officials said Collins would have handled the case differently if the boy had been white. "Certainly this attack on this young man is racially motivated," said George Wilson, a member of the Manning chapter of the NAACP. Three women at the news conference said they found signs advocating Ku Klux Klan activities in South Carolina. Alice Doctor-Wearing of Summerton I said she found the signs on a wooden < pole near her home, which is about a half-hour southwest of New Zion. 1 AWARD continued from page 1 additional costs.
