Special to The State. Spartanburg, .Ian 8?News was received here today of the murder of a negro named Unfits Salter by a mob of white men near West Springs, in Union county.

This building was soon consumed with verytbing it contained, which consisted of two horses, a cow and a crib full of corn. Saturday night Mr. Sam Foster's ttore at West Springs was destroyed by lire. After this last mentioned tiro suspicion began to point strongly to Unfits Salter, a negro farmer, who lived on Mr William Smith's place.
