LYNCH THREE NEGROES j FOR USING THE TORCH BA3IBERG MEX WREAK YEN GEAXCE OX PMSONEKS. On Way From Olar, Scene of Attempted Incendiarism, Trio of Confessed Firebugs Meet Death. ? Olar, March lo.?mroe negroes in j charge of two constables on their ; "way from C-!ar to Bamberg to be lodg- J ed in the county jail were taken from' the officers by a mob at Odom's bridge, ~ ? - ? ? 1 /v ? n ,1 cl^ nf ! seven XUUCS UUIII Ulis anu suui to pieces this afternoon. The mob of 75 to TOO men surprised the two constables and quickly securing the three j negroes finished their work in shon j order. The negroes are: Alfred Dub& lin, 25 years of age; Richard Dublin, 30 years of age, and Peter Rivers, 40 years of age. All three of the negroes had con~ - ?1 -4.T ressed to attempting to ourn uie "house of J. E.- Cook, mayor of Olar, early yesterday morning. On February 21 a destructive fire occurred in th-e business part of the town, resulting in much loss. Found tlie Fire. A fortunate firenmstance prevented ! Mr. Cook's house from sacrifice to the flames. By the merest .chance he came from his house to the porch yesterday morning about 5.30 o'clock. He was surprised at a glow coming apparently from the beneath the floor and on investigation found a pile of "fat" splinters burning and an empty Dome tnat naa contained tne 011 useu to start the fire. With several buckets of water he was able to extinguish the blaze before serious damage had occurred. A rigid investigation followed the attempt to burn the mayor's house. , In view of the fact that indications at the February fire pointed to incendiary j origin, the search was even more de- j termined than might otherwise have been the case. Bloodhounds were used in the pursuit, but to little avail. One negro was arrested last night, however, and the other two today. Without being allowed to see or communicate with one another they were close IV questioned ana mianv cumraseu, | the three telling the same story. All Bad Negroes. All three are know locally as "bad" negroes. All had had trouble with Mr. Cook. Peter Rivers had been convict-j | ed of illegally selling whiskey and Mr. | Cook, as mayor, had fined him $100. | The two Dublin negroes had been discharged from the employ of Mr. Cook. The negroes were held in the guard housp at Olar until the confessionsi were obtained and then it was decided ! * to send them to the county jail at j ' Bamberg. Two constables started this j afternoon about 3 o'clock on the 12mile journey with their prisoners., Olar was in a state of comparative; quiet prior to the departure of the of- j ficers with their prisoners and no I . violence was anticipated although the j necessity for a speedy trial had been I appreciated by a number of citizens j on>j e.n/>h a rcmiott ViDrl hppn fnmnilin I_ ouv" W WV "V.VV* WW I icated to the solicitor. Just what happened when seven miles of the trip had been safely trav-' eled i^ more'or less conjecture. It is], only positively known that at Odom's bridge a determined crowd, number-; "ing from 75 to TOO men, dispatched the three "fire-bugs," using bullets as the means of execution. I An inquest will be held over the bodies of the three negroes at Olar tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. , Sheriff Got News. .Sfreriff Hunter, of Bamberg county,j] said over the long distance telephone, < from his home at Bamberg last night ] that he was advised of the arrest of j l the three negroes and was about to i < start for Olar when he wag- advised j i that the nesrroes were already on the' \ (way to Bamberg. He then abandoned j \the journey and shortly afterwards j "was notified of the lynching by Magis- < 'trate 0. J. C. Lane. A deputy sheriff j t "had gone to Olar, but did not travel j< the road used by the Olar officers and arrived there after the lynching at; Odom's bridge. Sheriff Hunter and , the solicitor will go to Olar today for j, an investigation. ' i FLORENCE WOMAN" ATTACKED. J I Seized in Yard by Unknown Man, Who ! Escapes?Citv Stirred. , I. Florence, March 11.?A *well-known!" and highly respected woman, the wifej of a well-known railroad engineer, was : attacked here tonight by a man unknown to her. and who made good his escape before assistance reached her. The lady had gone into thp yard for an armful of wood and as she reached down to pick np the wood she was seized by some one from behind. She screamed and mad-? an effort to free herself from his hold, and in doing so the person making the assault tore her dress from her person. After gettin^ frp#> from his srrasn slip rail screaming to the l^ous-e and by the time assistance arrived the fellow had scaled the fence in the darkness and gotten away. The place where the offense was committed is just one door, south on Gaillard street, from East Evans, and within four doors from where little Andrew Jackson was taken. The af fair, following so close 011 the mysterious disappearance and murder of the Jackson child, has thrown the women and children who have heard of it almost into hysterics, and the men, who were congregated in groups in the er.stern seciicn 01 tne city, are swearing vengeance against the culprit should he be caught. Arrangements are being made to secure bloodhounds if they can be gotten quickly. REMORSEFUL AFTER 15 YEARS. Preacher Admits Committing Perjury to Aid Divorce Suit. Atlanta, Ga., March 11.?Consciencestricken over the crime of perjury, which he says he committed fifteen vears ago at Rome, Ga., in suing his wife for divorce, G. W. Thomas, a preacher of Portland., Oregon, has just written to Governor Brown that he is re^dy to come back to Georgia and stand trial. Thomas says that he loved another woman and told fals-ehoods to get rid of his wife. "I can never be clear with myself now," writes Thomas, "until I wipe ? ' 1 ? ? 1-Xi.1 ~ 11 +v.^> away mat siam Dy leiuug an mc world know of my crime." Governor Brown Has not indicated what action he will take in the ftiatter. A BALD-HEADED WOMAN. Slioru of Her Crown of Beauty, Loses in Love and Marriage. Hair is certainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and marry a bald-headed woman? What charms could one array to offset such a dis figurement? A woman's goal is usually love and marriage. Her crowning glory is her hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness, and success. Yet, right here in Newberry, there are thouonrjc; nf women whn are neglecting or injuring their hair to such an extent that it is only a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of certain facts. They use curling irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroys the natural oil of the hair, causing it to split, break, and come out. They do not shampoo their hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or preparations which contain ingredients positively harmful to the'scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dand ruff is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls out, and baldness commences, unless proper and prompt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and certain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp and hair conditions. Almost any woman may rid herself j of dandruff and diseased scalp and, hair if she will but use the right remedy. We have that remedy, and we j win nncitivelv suara-niee that it will 1 eifier cure la'iclr iff and baldness or it will not cost tlie user anything.
