A Government's own Witnesses- \ Ter.
W <iict or Nat Guilty Ordered by the
r- Court.
The TJoited States Court assembled at the
usual hour yesterday morning, and entered
upon the case of Thomas Zimmerman, of
Spartanburg, charged with conspiracy on May
1, 1871, and the murder of Wallie Olin, alias
Wallie Fowler. Messrs. D. R. Duncan and J.
fW. Carlisle appeared for the defence. The
defendant was arraigned, and pleaded not
guilty, and the following jury was obtained :
James S. Flllebrowo, foreman; Ebenezer
M. Wells, Charles A. Darting, Lorenzo T. Gard?
ner, Samuel W. Getty, James Dobbins, Taos.
8. Fc8berry and Thomas S. Mills, white; and
James Moultrie, James Battlce, James P. Da
Coita, and Thomas Barnfield, Jr., colored:
The district attorney then addressed the
ju-y In very nearly the same language that he
bad employed In opening former cases, and
.called Columbus Matthews as the first witness
for tjte prosecution. Matthews testified that
be hid been a Eu-Kluz, hartog joined the
.Cec ar Springs den In March, 1871. Had been
ou one raid when George Garner, a white
man, was whipped. The chief said he was to
?be whipped because be was a constable under
a black man. Tba. same den also raided on a
negro at Mr. Thomas's place, and he had heard
of another raid on which ? man named Win
smith wes shot. Knew nothing of these things
himself, and bad only been on one raid.
There was no cross-examination ci ibis wit-1
.ness. I
John Matthews was next called. He testl- I
-fled that he had joined the Bates vii le den of Ku?
Klux in April, 1871;-and he described the raid
on the night o? May 1st, 1871, on which Wallie
Olin was killed. He testified that the party
met at General Bates's store, and went first to
Mose Oates's house, found him and whipped
him pretty severely. He waa a black mon,
but witness did not know his politics. They
then went to. Matthew Lancaster's house and j
got bim out --Somebody threw a bed-quilt
over his head, bot he struggled out el lt and
Tan away. Then Jim Vandiver chased after I
' him, shot him, and: came back saying he bad I
killed him. Witness was positiva that lt was
Jim Vandiver who shot him. They next went
to Wallie Olin's, and John Thompson jerked him
out ol the bouse, and,putting a pistol upi
Close to his forehead, fired, and the ball
-entered his head. Olin fell down, and Thomp
son fired two more shots at bim. He then called
for a fire, and, getting a torch, threw that,
do w n on Olin and left it burning. Olin died
next day of his wouuds. There were on the I
raid beside the witness Zach. Vandiver, Jim
Vandiver, John Thompson, Aaron Thompson,
Francis Thompson, John Zimmerman and Joe
Zimmerman, sons of David Zimmerman, and I
brothers of the defendant. Witness did bot
see -the defendant there. There were three
men present whom the witness did not know.
On being cross-examined by Mr. Carlisle, tbe I
witness said. that he would have known the
.defendant If he had beep on the raid, and re
pea ted positively that it was Jim Vandiver |
'who fired at Lancaster. ' !
Matthew Lancaster, colored, was next
called. He testified that he was forty-six j
Tears old, and bad always lived In Spartan?
burg. The Ku-Ktux came on him In May, I
1871, pulled him out of bed and threw a bed
quilt over bis head. He heard somebody call
out "skoot him." Then he threw off the quilt
- and started to run, and somebody rode after
him and shot him in the back of the head.
The bullet entered Into his head, and was ]
. taken out four days after by Dr. Means. It J
was Tom Zimmerman,, the d?tendant, who I
chased bim and shot him. Knew it was the I
.d?tendant because he recognized his voice j
when he was chasing him. Knew the de
tendant very well, and was positive that he I
Identified him. On being cross-examined, the
witness testified that the party did not tell
him what they came on him for. He recog- j
>nized John Thompson and Thomas Zimmer- j
man by their voices. Recognized none of
the party by sight, bot only by the sound of I
their Voices, and was rnnnlog away as fast as
he could when he heard them. Was In great
? confusion, excitement and fright. Was posi-1
tlve that he Identified Zimmerman. ?
Wesley Brown, colored, waa next called. He
testl ried that he saw the Ku-Klux upon the
raid that had been described. ' Was standing I
'near his o wu house while they were at Lan-1
castfA house, r It was at night, but the moon I
-was sh thing. Did not know what time of the
year It was, nor the month, nor the dsy of the
week. Did not know the distance between j
-the two houses, but thought lt was about as j
far as a certain building which .he pointed out
through the window of the court-room, and I
r which ls about a hundred yawls away from the
.courthouse. Recognized Tom Zimmerman by
his voice and his horse. The horse was a
'black pony belonging to the defendant, which
the witness had seen very often and knew per- I
fecily well. When asked by the district attor
ney if there was any peculiarity about Zlm
merman's voice, by which he recognized lt,
the witness replied that "be didn't understand I
dictionary talk, bnt be know'd It was Tomi
.Zimmerman." On being cross-examined the I
witness testified frat he was "going on twenty
three years old." Did not know when his
birthday would come. Had voted lu 1868.
Did not know who be voted for, but knew lt
was the Republican ticket. Did not know
?whether he was twenty-one years old then.
Did not know what year lt ls now. Becog
aizecT'Tom Zimmerman, Elijah Lee and Mr. {
Millwood. Knew them all by their voices.
Was standing in a cotton patch while they
were coming toward him. Was not very much J
frightened.
Dr. Jones, a white gentleman, was next
?ailed by the prosecution. He testified that
he lived In Spartanburg, and saw Wallie Olin
on the day that he died. He was shot In the
head and a portion of his brain protruded I
from the wound. He was comatose all day, J
_ and died at 3 P. M. Believed the cause of his
being shot was the private spite and malignity
cf John Thompson. On belnsr cross-examined
by Mr. Carlisle, Dr. Jones t.>rifled that he had
talked with Wesley Brown, the last witness,
frequently about the raid. Brown said that he
stood In the door of his house while the party
were at' Lancaster's house, but the moment
that they started away from Lancaster's house
he J u m p ed and ran as fast as he could. Never
rao BO fast before in all bis life. In the con?
versations that witness had had with Brown,
the latter bad never Intimated that he had re
.cognized anybody until quite recently, and
since he bad been talking wlih Mat Lancaster
about the case. Witness had also talked with
Lancaster, and had had a conversation with
bim that morning, when Lancaster said that
John Matthews bad told bim that it was Jim
Vandiver and not Tom Zimmerman who shot
him, and that his confidence in his former be?
lief bad thus been considerably shaken.
This closed the testimony for the prosecu?
tion, and the defence did not deem it neces?
sary to produce any witnesses. Mr. Cai lisle,
addressing the court, said that the case was
clearly one that should be nol. pressed by the
government. The prosecution had made out
no case whatever to go to the jury, and jus?
tice demanded that the case should be dis?
missed.
Judge Bond said that he could not himself j
see how the Jury could and a verdict against
tbe defendant. One witness swore that it was
the defendant who fired upon him, but iden?
tified him only by his voice, while another
witness, also tor the prosecution, swore posi?
tively that it was another man who did the
shooting.
The district attorney said that of course after
that statement from the court he could not
ask the jury to convict the d?tendant, and he
admitted that lhere was a fatal conflict of tes- j
timony. He therefore consented to a verdict |
of not guilty, which was accordingly entered
and the prisoner was discharged.

A Rebel Army Crossing tue Frontier.
MADRID, April 26.
The friends of the ministry lu the new
Cortes held a meeting last night, which was
presided over by Admiral Topete. The object
of the meeting was to assure the government
of sympathy and support In lie struggle with
the insurrection. Sago s ta made a fiery speech
demandlug to be placed at the post of the
greatest danger. Serrano and Rosas aleo
made addresses full of patriotic enthusiasm
and loyalty.
MADRID, April 26.
There ls a vast Increase In the number of
CarllBts bands throughout the Kingdom. Fit- j
teen hundred persons are now engaged In the
insurrection. A proclamation bas been Issued
declaring many places In a state of siege. Ibe
government refuses to furnish the presB with
any 1 ni urination relative, either to Ita or the
Carllsts movement. There is a great demand
for troops from the provinces wtiere the Car
lists are most active. Marshal .Serrano, with
six thousand troops, has gone to Navarre, and
his presence at the head of thia force has
checked the operations of the Carllsts In that
department. Marshal Serrano will be appoint?
ed generalissimo of the forces operating ?
against the insurrectionists. Marshal Concha
will a so be given high command. It ls believed
that the future of Spain now depends upon
the course of the radicals, and that if they
co-operate with the partisans, Don Caries's
revolution will be successful
PARIS, April 25.
The Univers and Liberte announce that Don
Carlos has cro.-sed-the frontier and ls now lu
Spain; at the head of ten thousand men. The
same journals say a perfect understanding
exists between the Carllsts and Republicans.
The forcer are to draw the troops into
the open country and leave the towns
defenceless against the Republicans, who
are to rise against the government, on
the 1st of May, in all perta of Spain. Only
two of the Isabellist generals bave as yet
Joined the insurrection. The French Legiti?
mists hold aloof from this last daring enter?
prise of Don Carlos.
PARIS, April 26.
The situation In Spain has become very
serious. The government bas resolved to
adopt most rigorous measures to suppress the
Insurrection. Nothing Is certainly known of j
the whereabouts of Don Carlos.
"ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC."
*An Old Question Reopened.
The following communication adds another
to the list of those who claim to have written

should be pleased to see Mr. Oliver substan?
tiate the claims of his father In a manner that
would admit of no doubt:
MADISON, GA., April 12, 1872.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Prompted by the mingled feelings of desire
that justice should be done, and of resent?
ment against actual Injustice, and impelled
also by the love of my heart, I lake my pen
to state a few facts lo reference to the poem
whose name heads this article. Until recently i
I was not-aware that any one bad publicly
laid claim to Its authorship, and, as an
anonymous poem, I, as well as Us author,
wes willing that lt should go down to pos?
terity. But some weeks ago I saw, tor the
first time,.the work of Professor Davidson,
ol the University of 8outh Carolina, on tbs
writers of ihe South, In which is cited a brag
fart, spread-feather letter from Lamar
ontalne, asserting that uthe world may
howl over it as lt may, but the poem ls his,
and he wrote lt." The real author was a may
of extreme modesty and lack of pretension,
and, were he living, would be the last to re?
fer to the fact that "the world" bad noticed
his poem, much less been so exercised about
lt as to wrangle and "howl over it."
Published without bis consent, and in oppo?
sition to his express wish aud request, and
hlmsell in the Army of Virginia at ihe time of |
its publication, he did not Know lt was in the
"immortal custody ol the press" till it had
been scattered broadcast throughout the land.
Published and republished, set to music and
sung by the wives and daughters of Confed?
erate soldiers, he was utterly amazed at its re?
ception. In August, 1864, bis "dust returned
to the earth as il was, and his spirit unto
God who gave lt," and other band lhan that
which wrote it oiuBt seek to save his poem
from men ..no would rob the dead. There
was but one witness to the writing, which
took place in the late summer or early fall
of 1861. It was read Immediately after to a
Circle of literary friends. One of these copied
lt and had lt published. The out-going of a
heart that tenderly loved the wile and mother
"far away In the cot on the mountain," and
"the two on the low trundle bed," Hie elder of
those here claims these words, which, till war
snail cease, are set to soul music, as ihe pecu?
liar possession of his mother, bis brother and
himself, who hold them doubly dear because
they are the expression of a husband and a
father's love. That husband and father, and
not the least of Southern poets, though he
died In his prime, was Thaddeus Oliver, of the
Second Georgia Regiment, whose home was
Buena Vista. Marion County, Ga. If lhere be
any still living who can testify to the truth of j
the tacts above stated, I earnestly request
them to do so forthwith. In the meantime, I'
have the satisfaction of knowing that my
father's poem has been claimed for him; that
the usurpers of his rights have not gone un
rebuked, and that my hands have woven a
garland with which to decorate his grave.

DETAILED REPORTS FROM CHESTER.
A Kamber of Persons "Won nd td-mirac?
ulous E91 apea-Thc estimated Loss.
The following detailed reports, from the
Reporter, of the ravages of the tornado' in
Chester will be read with especial Interest by
those whose altentton has been directed to
ihe subject by the telegraphic accounts of the
disaster, already printed In THE NEWS:
On Thursday afternoon lase the most vio?
lent tornado, whirlwind, or something ot the.
kind, passed over this unfortunate town, leav
lng destruction and desolation in Its train.
The day had been an unusually mild and balmy
one, scarcely a cloud floating in the sky, until
about 4 o'clock In the afternoon, when a dense
black cloud was seen riging in the west. It
steadily and rapidly approached, overcasting
the whole heavens with Its midnight pall.
The wind began to blow furiously, accem
panted by vivid flashes of lightning and deaf?
ening peals of thunder. Suddenly an awful,
ominous roarlug was heard In the west, and In
a few moments the storm had swept past, scat?
tering everything in its path, except the most
substantial buildings.
So tar as we have been able to learn the de?
structive fury of the blast was first experi?
enced at the plantation ot Mrs. Roden, five
miles to the west of the town. Here all the
houses on the place tvere totally wrecked.
The saw and grist mill of Elijah D. Walker
were the next buildings io feel Its force. They
were both levelled to' the ground. From lins
point Its track ls marked by scattered fen ces
and uprooted torest trees till lt struck the
town on the hill near the old Male Academy.
The first houses in its course were the large
flour mill, built of brick, formerly the property
of Major N. R. Eaves, and the sraall brick
building occupied by David Jones, colored.
The former of these it damaged badly, and the
latter it entirely demolished ; burying Jones
and his wife lu the ruins, but not injuring
either of them seriously. Wiping * out
of existence three or lour small houses be?
longing to Messrs. Smith 4 Melton, and one
belonging to Allen Farrar, colored, lt pa3ied
on to the substantial residence of Mr. John C.
McFadden. All of his outbuildings, three in
number, were demolished. The residence was
too strong to yield to tbe storm, though the
chimneys were carried away, and the h use
Itself strained and partially unroofed. Be?
tween this point and where it crossed the rail?
road track, lt destroyed two small houses be
longing to F. A. McNlnch, one of A. N. Mc
Ninou, three of Hon. Samuel Mc?llly, two
of William Quatelabaiim, and one belonging to
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.
Several of these houses were occupied at the1
time, but none of the occupants had any bones
broken. In some cases they were fastened In
the ruins and had to be extricated. The first
building encountered on crossing the railroad
was the large steam-mill of W. R. Robertson.
The brick walls of this building successfully
resisted the storm. It was, however, unroofed,
and all the wooden additions to the main
building entirely wrecked. The miller, Har?
rison Balley, bearing the roaring of the ap?
proaching storm? attempted to escape from
the building. As soon as he reached-' the
ground, he was caught up by the whirlwind
and carried to the distance of at least a hun?
dred yards, where he was lodged against an
elm tree. He has no recollection, he says, of
passing through the air; remembers nothing
irom tue lime he Jumped out of ihe mill UH be
found himself at tho tree.
From this point ihe storm took its course
along the baok street extending from tbe rail?
road to the residence of Major G. W. Mellon.
Tals street was built up almost entirely with
small, one story houses, all of which, with ORO
or two exceptions, went down before the fury
of the biast. The principal sufferers on this
street were Mr. William Nicholson, estate of
John Killian, deceased, John McCauthren,
George McCormick, Miss Isabella Mccafferty,
A H. Davega, Mrs. Baird, William Boss, Mrs.
S. E. Albright, Dr. 8. E. Britton, and Major
James Pagan. On tbe premises owned :by
each of inese persons at least one house
was en. ii ely . destroyed, and in several In?
stances as many os? four. The next place
In the path of the destroyer was the
handsome residence and grounds of Major
G. W. Melton, "Intendant of the town. Toe
house being large and substantially built
was very slightly oamaged. The chief orna?
ment ot the grounds was the ancient lorest
trees that surrounded the house. The great
majority ot these were either torn out by the
roots or twisted off above the ground. Their
loss ls irreparable. The major eslimates his
loss at five thousand dollars. Leaving (his
abode of wealth and luxury the storm again
bent Its efforts to the destruction of the homes
of those illy prepared to suffer the loss. The
dwelling and outbuildings of Mr. H. Sledge
were entirely demolished. At the Morrison
place, now the property of William Ross, lt
Indulged in a perfect carnival of destruction;
the dwelling, stables, gin-house and other
dwellings, eight In number, altogether,
were levelled to the ground. Here, too,
the occupants of some of the houses were
covered up In the falling timbers, but mirac?
ulously escaped with their lives. The
houses of John Lilley, Emeline Morrison,
and Frank Kennedy were destroyed between
Ulla point and Grassy Run. The total number
ot buildings ot all kinds and slzeB entirely
destroyed oetween the point where the storm
attacked the town and Grassy Run was sixty
two; and the damages are variously estimated
at frpm thirty to seventy thousand dollars.
Four miles lrom Chester the outbuildings on
the plantation of Mrs. Polly Gooch were j
destroyed. Beyond this point we hear of no '
damage except the overturning ot some fences
I and trees. Gentlemen of tue highest veracity
assure us that ihey Und lu their fields, seven j
miles east of the town, planks measuring
eight and ten feet long that were borne lhere
on the wind.
On Friday afternoon a meeting of the citi?
zens of the town, presided over by Rsv. L. C.
Hinton, was held in the courthouse, and
measures taken to assist the sufferers. We
are glad to say that the committee charged
with the duty of collecting subscriptions are
meeting with a willing and liberal response
from those citizens who were so fortunate as
lo escape the track of the storm. In addition
to the loss of their houses, the sufferers in
many cases lost all the contents of their
homes, their clothing being whirled away on
the wings of the wind, and their furniture
being smashed by the falling timbers.
The track within which ihe destruction lies
Is not more than one hundred and fifty yards
wide, and from the description of those who
were in the midst of its fury, we suppose the
storm was not more than a minute in accom?
plishing Its work at any one place.
THE STORM IN 0C0NEE.
The Courier eays: "Oo Thursday last, this
section was visited by a furious wlud and rain
storm. Timber was blown down In various
directions, and we hear of losses by trees fall?
ing on stock, &c. On Tuesday and.Wednes
day morning?, killing frosts appeared in our
midst."
THE STORM IN ANDERSON.
The Intelligencer says: " a. severe storm of
wind and ralu visited this section on last
Thursday afternoon, although we bear of no
serious damage resulting therefrom lo this or
neighboring counties. Trees were uprooted,
In 9 >me instances, and the pissenger train
ever the Blue Ridge Railroad was hindered
for a short time that evening by the tops of
trees blown and reaching across the track."

GREAT MEN'S WIVES.
Milton married the daughter of a country
squire, but lived with ber but a short time.
He was an austere, exacting literary recluse,
while ehe was a rosy, romping country lass,
that could not endure the restraint Imposed
upon her, so they separated. Subsequently,
however, she returned and they li ved tolera?

Queon Victoria and Prince Albert were cous?

line of English monarchs wherein the marital
vows were sacredly observed and sincere affec?
tion existed.
Shakespeare loved and wed a - farmer's
daughter. 5 *e was faithful to her vows, but
could hardly say the same of the great bard
himself. Like most of the great poets he show?
ed too Utile discrimination in bestowing his
a Teclions on the other sex.
Byron married Mi <s Milbank to get money
to pay his debts. It turned out a bad shift.
Benjamin Franklin -married the girl who
stood in her lather's door laughing at him as
he wandered through the streets of Philadel?
phia with rolls under his arms, his pockets
Ulled with dirty clothes.
Washington married a woman with two chil?
dren. It ls enough to say she was worthy of
him, and lived as married lolks should-in per
lect harmony. ,
John Adams married the daughter ol a Pres?
byterian clergyman. Her fatlrer objected on
account ot John's being a lawyer; he had a bad
opinion of the morals ot the profession.
John Howard, the great philanthropist, mar?
ried his nurse. She was altogether beneath
bim In social life and Intellectual capacity, and,
besides this, was fifty-two years old,.while he
was but twenty-five. He would not take "No"
for an answer, and they were married and
lived nappily together until her death, which
occurred years alterward.
Peter the Great, of Russia, married a peas?
ant girl. She made an excellent wife and a
sagacious Empress.
It ls not generally known that andrew Jack?
son married a lady whose husband was still
living. She waa an uneducated but amiable
woman, and devotedly attaohed to the old
warrior and statesman.
Edward Lytton Bulwer, the English states?

principal countries of Europe, except Austria,
are reorganizing their urmy systems. Germany
ls about to Increase her available military
loree by 400,000 men, and Russia, whose army,
including irregulars, has hitherto numbered
1,309,002 men on war footing, expects, nuder
the new system, te have a force of 2,992.809
men at her disposal, not reckoning the local
troops and th? militia The new military
organization ol'France is not yet decided upon,
but lt ia believed that Its result will be to in?
crease her army to 1,400,000. Italy, whose war
establishment hitherto amounted to 519,630
"men, .including reserve*, proposes by the plan
ol reorganization which has been adopted by
her liovernment to raise a loree of lrom 750,
000 to 800,000 men. The Turkish army, when
on a war tooling, has hitherto couBisted of
270,000 men. Inclusive ot the nizams, or mili?
tia. It ls to be Increased to 600,000 men.
Finally, the military force of England at home
Is to be raised under Mr. Cardtell's scheme to
about 300,000 men. When all these plans
are carried out, the total war establishment
ot the armies of Europe will be increased irom
6,166.000 men to about 10,000,0000. It is to be
understood that, this number of men is not ro
be actually withdrawn from peaceful pursuits
at one tim?. The plans, proceeding more or
leas upon the Prussian idea, are to secure a
military training to a large part ot the male
population which may be promptly drawn upon
lu case of war. |
THE GOSPEL OF HATE.
SOMETHING FOR THE KU-KLTTXPROS?
ECUTORS TO REMEMBER.
Tir? Harangue of a. Radical Leader Ia
1870.
[From the Laurensville Herald, October 28, mo.]
We, the undersigned, certify that the follow?
ing Is the substance and mostly the words
used by Joseph Crews, In a speech made at
Waterloo, on the 27th of August last.
At a meeting of the citizens of Waterloo,
on October 4th, to taite into consideration cer?
tain Incendiary remarks made in a public
address by Joseph Crews, On the 27th of August
last. Mr. J. B. Craig was called to the chair,
and Dr. F. G. Coleman was requested to act as
secretary.
It was moved and seconded that the secre?
tary furnish the meeting with the incendiary
remarks made by said Joe Crews.
Crews after being introduced to the freed?
men by a colored friend, said to them: That
there was something wrong in the neighbor?
hood, and that he had comedown to set things
right; that the freedmen of that vicinity had
been advised to vote for Carpenter and Butler,
but for them not to do so, for they were' the
worst enemies that the colored people had, ex?
cept the white men who advised them to vote
for the Reform party. That they pretended to
be their friends, but it was ali a He. That they
would promise to sell them bacon' at twenty
five cents per pound, and then charge them
two and a half per cent a month, making the
bacon cost them thirty-five to Arty cents per
pound.
He (Crews) advised them to go into the
fields, gather com and sell it, buy their bacon
-although they should owe their employers
more than their part of the crop was worth
and if any of them, in consequence thereof,
should be hurt or killed, they must burn out
five miles square, every house; to leave not
even a board-tree standing, and that he was
trial Justice now, so they bad nothing to fear,
as he would see them out. ? He told them he
had assisted In the passage of the homestead
law, but none of the lreedmen bad been bene?
fited by the act, neither had the white people
called bim a clever fellow for lt. But he had
voled for a law that was worth more than a
thousand such laws to them. It was that
which had pift those arms In their hands, and,
if they did not defend themselves, lt was their j
own fault. That revenge was theirs, if i bey [
would use it; they bad the arms, and a box
of matches only cost five cents. Hs said he
.owned as much properly al Laurens Court?
house as any man .there, and should a Repub?
lican be shot at that place he would burn the
entire town; be would not leave one shingle
upon top of another; and he Intended to vote
for every measure that would ralee the tax,"
and if the whiles did not like lt, they could
leave the State*. He would give them State
bonds for their lands, and that he Intended lo
do everything from this time on that would
make the black man bate the white people.
He told them they must all go out and vote;
that lhere would be no challenging their votes
this time, as there would be no registration
required; and If any one should challenge
them to throw them out of their way and go
on and vote; they could also dress their
women in men's clothes and let them vote.
They must .carry the election at all
hazards; that he would wade through
blood and carry It ac the point of
the bayonet. He would lose the last
drop of blood In his' body or carry lt; they
could not afford to lose lt. Noue but Re?
publicans would be allowed to manage the
election. Governor Scott must also be elect?
ed, or they would not be pardoned when con?
victed. He (Crews) bad never asked a favor
pf Scott but what .lt bad been granted, nor
did he believe he ever would refuse him a
favor. So when ibey got into the peniten?
tiary he would get them pardoned; that there
never bad been but one colored man acquitted
thatJhad been tried at Laurens Courtnouse,
and no white man had ever been convicted.
That there were buta small sprinkle of white
men In the State, and they could easily wipe
them out; their women could help In the
work; that the white people said the negroes
would not fight, but would run through the
woods with their hats in their hands, ana that
he (Crews) would be gone. It was ?ll a lie. He
would lead them lt they wouffi stick to him
he would die with them before he would leave
them; to be sure to elect him and he would
make lt all right Vim them. He advised
them not to employ a doctor when they got
sick. He said if the doctor came to see ihem
Monday morning he would charge them for
every day through the week If he did
not come but one time, and then would give
them poisonous medicines, and charge them
ten times as muoh as he would white folks,,
and take a lien on their crops; and if they got
sick In two weeks of an election, and sent for
a-doctor, they would be sure not to come out
to the election, as the doctor would either kill
them or keep them sick until the election was
over. He told them to make up money and
send North andLoet them the- right-kind of a
doctor. He sara the Democrats said he would
Ile and steal. He (Crews> said be would; he
wanted more land and mules; that he had
stoles and would steal; that be had lied and
would He; that now he had one band In the
Republican's pocket, but, If be got a chance,
he would put both hands In the Democrat's
pocket, and, If he left one cent, lt would not
be his mult. He told tie negroes to steal from
ihe Democrats; that they bad a right to do so,
I and, if they done anything to them, give them
Scott's pills.
