ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ZION, S.C. ? 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.

to me and my kids," she said. "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

"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.

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.

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

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.
