NEGRO DESPERADO
BURNED AT STAKE.
Pennsylvania Mob Apply
the Torch ?Victim Taken
from Hospital.
At Coatsville, Pa., on Sunday nighl
Zacariah Walker, a negro desperado,
was carried on a cot from the hospital
and burned to a crisp by a frenzied
mob of men and boys. The negro,
who the night before shot and killed
Edgar Rice, a special policeman of the
Worth Iron mills, was first dragged to
the scene of the shooting, begging pifceously
for mercy.
He nad been arrested by a posse late
Sunday afternoon after a search which
stirredthe country. The posse finally
! found him hiding in a cherry tree.
The negro with the last bullet in his
revolver shot himself in the mouth,
falling from the tree. He was removed
to the hospital and placed under
guard.
Thousand People in Mob.
[ A few minutes after 9 o'clock a
crowd numbering almo9f 1,000 persons
appeared at the hospital. The leaders
were denied admission but they quickly
smashed the wiDdow frames and
cra^ led theough the corridor. When
Walker was first taken to the hospital
he was strapped down in order to prevent
his escape. The mob, seeing
this, gathered up the bed and placing
it or the shoulders of four men, startel
for the country. When half a mile
from the hospital they entered a field
aad vuickly gathered ap a pile o* dry
grass and weeds, placed the bed con
burning uieu- yxcueq on it.
Women Took Pari.
A match was applied and the flame9
shot up quiokly, entirely enshrouding
the screaming victim. That not a
vestige of the murderer be left, the
mob tore down the fence along the
road and piled the rails on the burning
negro. After wiitiog for half an hour
the mob dispersed. A curious feature
of the burning was the fact that there
were almost as many women in the
crowd a9 men.
During the march from the hospital
to the scene of the burning of the ne
gro, not a policeman was encountered
by the mob. Even the man on duty in
the hospital made no effort to stop the
leaders who gained admittance to the
institution.
Has a Fine Crop.
Ex-County Commissioner S. Rufus
Smith has one of the best crops to be
seen on Black creek. It is estimated
that his cotton will make a bale to the
acre, and hi* corn and peas can't be
be it. Mr. Smith is one of the most

WM. DENT MARRIES
. SWANSEA COUPLE.
Assisted in Ceremony by
Clerk of Court, Judge

' Marriages on Saturday are some
what unusual in this neck of the
' woods; but, after all, since the mar1
riage license law came into effect
nothing seems to be unusual when
Cupid sets his head. On Saturday
1 evening, after all the county officers
1 had closed their offices and were in the
act of leaving for their respective
places of abode, Thomas Davis aud
Marcella Holley, a negro couple, appeared
upon the scene and at once i
made their way to the Judge of ,Probate's
office. They came all the way
1 from Swansea, by way of Columbia,
to Beeure the license.
The license secured, Clerk of Court ^
Frank W. Shealy suggested that the |
marriage be performed right then and j /
there. To this the coople agreed, and
at once made inquiry as to who could
be found to tie the matrimonial knot.
This was not a hard proposition, however,
since all of the county officers
hold notary commissions, signed by
Governor Blease, and County Auditor
Bill Dent was called upon. Mr. Dent
readily agreed, but asked that he
be assisted in the performance of the
solemn duty.
As soon as it became known that a ^
marriage was about xo be performed
in the court house in which several |
were do participate tne crowd Degan
to gather and it was not long before <'
there were plenty of witnesses.
Assisting Mr. Dent were Clerk of
Court Frank W. Shealy, Deputy Clerk
N. P. Shipp and Judge of Probate
Drafts. At the conclusion of the ceremony,
Clerk of Court Shealy, in his
usuai happy manner, suggested that
the old custom of ki; sing the bride be
carried out, and with his face beaming
in smiles the groom "smacked" the
bride and the ceremony was over.
~ I
Immediately after the marriage
Thomas and Marcella left on foot for
Swansea, their future home.
Will Buy Cotton.
Lexington is going to haye another
cotton buyer in the person of Mr. J.
S. Rcwell, who has an announcement
elsewhere in thi3 issue. This means
that Lexington is to be what she has
always been?the best cotton market
in this section of tne State.
Mr. Rowell can be found at the depot,
but a telephone call over No. 11
will bring him up town.
Mr. Rowell will keep in close touch
with the markets, and will pay top
prices.
