WHITES TORTURE
[ BERKELEY NEGRO
, Orangeburg, Sept. 19.?Claiming
to have been hanged by a rope to a
; tree limb until nearly dead in an ef:
fort by white men to get certain ini
formation, two negroes of the St.
i Stephens section of Berkeley county
. found their way to Orangeburg yes.
terday to prevail upon Solicitor A.
. J. Hydrick to take action against
, guilty parties. The negroes, cousins,
one about 45 years, said about ten
.\ days ago they were caught up by a
party of white men, known to them,
. and carried to a wooded place, blind,
folded and pulled up by a rope
around their necks as if they were
going to be hanged, the white men
demanding that they tell who it was
that shot into the road camp shortly
. before this occasion. The negroes
claimed they knew nothing of it
when nearly dead, they were .let
down. Both negroes had signs of the
ropes about their necks.
In telling what they could of the
incident, they said some trouble
must have come about among hands
on the road work that is being done
by some company in Berkeley county
in building a highway near St.
Stephens and that some one, according
to the white men, shot at
random into the work camp and the
white men were endeavoring to find
out who did the shooting.
BONUS BACKERS AGAIN
HOPEFUL FOR ACTION
Washington, Sept.'13.?The pendulum
in Congress is swinging back in
favor of a soldiers' bonus. There are
two reasons:
First: Congressional elections next
year. <
Second: Unemployment of ex-soldiers.
The American Legion is conducting
a survey of unemployment among
ex-service men. It is authoritatively
estimated this will show 600,000
to 700,000 out of work.
[ * Hundreds of ex-service men because
they are jobless have enlisted
under the Spanish flag and shipped
to Africa to fight the Moors.
The American Legion expects to
do extensive charity work this* winter.
Congressmen fear the wrath to
come next year. .
So a new bonus bill likely will be
enacted by June. A measure being
formulated is called "the Service
Men's Pension Act. It contemplates
both a cash bonus and progressive
pension.
BODY TO COME TODAY
Timmonsville, Sept. 16.?Mr. andi
Mrs. J. T. Wilder have been advised
that he boy of their son, Lieut. J.
Arthur Wilder, will arrive here from
New York at 4:15 o'clock on the
morning train, accompanied by a
military escort. The J. Arthur Wilder
post No. 47, of the American Legion
will have charge of the body
upon anival and of the furieral service
which will be held at the Baptist
church Sunday afternoon at 4 ?
o'clock. Lieutenant Wilder lost his;
life in action fn France.

NEGRO BURIED ALIVE IN DITCH
*
Union, Sept. 15.?One of the most
horrible tragedies that has occurred
in Union in recent years happened
this morning when Robert Gist, colored,
about 30 years of age, met
instant death by the caving in of a
sewer line which is being dug on
Cohen street and when found the
body was standing upright and fearfully
smashed.
Monroe Hardy, colored, was practically
covered by the dirt but was
quickly, removed, as his head and
shoulders were not covered by the
falling dirt. He was rushed to the
Wallace Thompson Hospital and it is
thought that he is injured internally.
