The Farmers' Unionfcsd two objecta ? in making this arrangement.

A tight followed lu which Jim Moore was cut and killed by Pendleton. Pendleton escaped %nd was captured by a crowd about half a mile below here. He waa carried back to the scene of the killing and shot by spoilt a dosen men. Mesara. C. E. Harper, John F. Mon roe and Magistrate Ashley arrived on the scene and tried to prevent the lynching. The negro waa kept till 10.25 o'clock before be waa lynched. Most ot tbe parties engaged in the lynching were recognized by a con siderable number who were present and not engaged ic the affair. The crowd was dispersed and though the negroes are greatly exoited no further trouble is fear?i* .-Special to The State. Donalds, September 1?.-Last night about 8 o'clock, about two milea below Honea Path, in Abbeville county. Allen Pendleton, colored, stabbed Jos. Moore, a young white man, to death. Jim Moore and his cousin, McDonald, a mere boy, were driving and locked wheels with Pendleton. This caused words and Pendleton sprang from his boara? and atabhed Moore, who had already alighted from hie buggy,, four times with alargo knife. One thrust passed through the jugular vein and came out back of the neck, Moore dying instantly. The negro then fled in the direction of Honea Path, hut wns hotly pursued and was caught about half way. Pendleton was carried back by the captors to tho home of Bob Moore, the murdered hoy's father, whioh waBonly a Bbort. distance from the scene of the killing. A crowd soon collected anda lynch ing seemed inevitable. C, E. Hirpi and other cool heada advised r :0 lawlessness. The party who had Moore in charge agreed to await tho arrival of some citizens of Donald's and he governed by their counsel. The Donald'o men were wired for and .went with hasto to the scene, hut were too late. The spirit of revenge had prevailed and Allen Pendleton bad met bis fate. , With a truce chain around his neck he had been chained to a small tree on the side of the public road, while bis nlnyoro faced him from the middle of the road. A volley of fifteen shots, witti ? fev/directly following,,ended the career of- Moore's murderer. About a dozen gunshot wounds were on tin* person of Pendleton. About half of them were evidently, nindo hy balls from Winchesters of largo calf ""Dr. Payne testified at the inquest that Pendleton's skull was crushed andhis shoulder and neck broken. When last seen alive Pendleton wes being led away by John Martin Ash ley, tbe father and three brothers of young Moore, Sam Bigby and others. ?j Many negroes were at the inquest, hut were auiefc, Hie rotatives refused to come near or have any tiling to do with it, as did the other negroes. They absolutely refused to care for or bury the remains nt any price; So a grave was dug in the thiok woods near where the body lay. > ? Even a wagon to convey the body yyuli cot bo obtained. A few young irhlto men improvised a sled, put the jody of Pendleton ou it and dragged t to the grave in the woods, where a few planks were placed over the ne gro's body and it was covered up. Tho sentiment of the people of Elonea Path waa against the lynching ind it was severely condemned. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that Pendleton came to his death at the hands of parties nnknown to tho jory. -Special to News and Courier, Hawkins Says Two Mea Tried to Murder Him. Sheriff Gilreavh had a long confer ence with J. D. Hawkins at his homo at Brandon mills yesterday afternoon, and the injured man. who waa found nnoonBcious near the railway track at ? Calhoun, told tho sheriff that Hender san and Vaughn, the mill operatives being held in Columbia, travelod on ? \ freight train with him to Calhoun. There, ho says, the men assaulted him I and after almost beating him to death dragged his body across the track with the idea that the next train coming along would finish their fiendish] work. He managed to crawl off the track, however, and thus saved hia life. Hawkins was brought back from Calhoun Friday afternoon and yester day he had sufficiently recovered hia strength to tell the sheriff a well con nected story of. the altair. It remaina to be Been whether the man is tolling tho truth or not. Relatives of tho men say that tho story is a myth, and cir cumstances viii be called in when tho case gets into the courts to lead tho ? jurors tq a proper verdict. !>;?
