Columbia, August 23.-Willie Spain, a North Carolina negro, 21 years old, wan shot to death by a mob near St. George, Dorchester county, this afternoon. This is the third lynching in South Carolina within ten days. S. L. Connor, manager of tho Dor chester Lumber Company's stores, at Badham, was notified by a negro that he saw another negro attempting to enter a window ot his homc?. and then ran away iuto a nearby cano patch. Connor immediately started for his home, going through the cano field. He suddenly came upon Spain. Ile grappled with the negro, striking him a severo blow, breaking several bones in his hand. The negro finally freed himself aud ran into nearby woods. Connor notified his neighbors and a soarch was begun. About two hours later Spaiu was captured in a negro oabin not far distant. Ile was brought to St. Ge<">rgo and turned ovor to Sheriff Limohouse, who looked him up in jail. Shortly afterwards a posse of forty or fifty men went to the sheriff and demanded the keys of the jail. Semiring the keys, the jail was un locked and thc negro taken to the house of Connor, where his 11-yoar old daughter, who was alone in the iionse, positively identified the negro as the one who tried to climb through the window, but was fright ened away by her screams. The negro did not protest his in nocence, but admitted that he had gone to tho residence with the inten tion of entering it, but for what pur poso he did not say. The mob then took the negro to a nearby oak tree, strung him up to a limb and shot about 500 holes in his body. The negro's head and body were shot literally to pieces. After tho sheriff had surrendered to the mob he telegraphed Goveruoi Heyward of what had happened Tho Governor at once wired the offi cer to uso all moans to prevent ? lynching, but it was too late, as thc mob lost no limo in dispatching th( negro.

A careful survey of hie character and life must lead the student of men and affairs to see that the course be took was from his point of view aud judged by bis in exorable and pure conscience the path of duty to which a high sense of honor called him. Could we share the thoughts of that high minded man as he paced the broad pillared veranda of his noble Arling ton house, his eyes glancing across the river at tho flag of his country, waving above the dome of the Capi tol and then rcstinr* on thc soil of his native Virginia, we should be willing now to recognize in him one of the finest produots of American life. For surely as the years go on we shall see that such a life can be judged by no partisan measure, and we shall come to look upon bim as the English of our day regard Wash ington, whom little more than a cen tury ago they delighted to call a rebel. Indeed in all essential char acteristics Lee resembled Washing ton, and bad the great work of his life been crowned with success, or had he chosen the winning side, the world would have acknowledged that Virginia could in a century produce two men who were the embodiment of public ?nd private virtue." "The avenging pen of history" has placed the name of Lee side by side with Washington. So writes the historian of to-day and so will the future historian prolong the noble record.

C., August 20.-A special from Greenwood to-night lolls of the arrest and placing in jail of Bob Faust, colored, 30 years of age, who this afternoon went crazy think ing over the recent lynchings and announced that he would assault every woman he met.
