Negro Is Lynched;
Sheriff Badly Hurt!
T?"? I
W ulhallu, April 25.?A special ses- j
sion of the Oconee county grand jury
wa? called here today U) consider evidence
secured by detectives and county
officers and to assist in an investigation
of the lynching here Wednesday
night of Allen Green, negro, by
a mob which overpowered Sheriff
John Thomas and fractured his skuft
with a blow from a pistol butt.
Solicitor Leon. W. Harris and Cor- ;
oner D. It. Peny concluded a pre- 1
liminary investigation yesterday
which resulted in the arrest of four
men and a statement by the solicitor
that he had secured evidence which
he believes sufficient to "convict i
from twenty to thirty." Warrants |
for "over forty or fifty men" are)
to be sworn out within the next few
days, the solicitor said, and from this
group he expects to obtain information
which will lead to the arrest of
others.
John Sanders, J. L. Harris, Grady \
I>ee and Jee Roach, all of this com- j
rmjrrity, were arrested yesterday, i
Sanders, taken .into custody on a
warrant charging "rescuing a prisoner"
and "assault and battery with
intent to kill," has been identified
by Sheriff Thomas and his son, Eugene,
21, as the man who wielded
the pistol used to break the sheriff's
skull.
Sanders, officers said, denied participation
in the lynching while the
other three admitted "being with the
crowd at one time or another" but
denied any part in the actual lynch- !
ing.
Sheriff Thomas was reported today
to be "slightly better" at the
Anderson county hospital where he is '
a patient and physicians believe he
will recover. He has been conscious
and able at times to tell brother officers
details of the Occurrence.
Green, 50, years old, was taken
from the jail by an angry mob, carj
ried two miles from here on.the SenI
eca road and shot to "death. The
i negro had been arrested last Monday
on a charge of criminally as!
saulting a young white married wo;
man of Walhalhi. Ho was being held
in jail without bail pending trial
when the mob took him.

Tomato Plants
Columbia, April 23.?Some 10,000,000
tomato planU, first seeing the
light in Bumberg county and there
allowed to grow und flourish until
they have absorbed South Carolina's '
health giving iodine, will reach their
maturity in the fertile fields of New
Jersey this summer, according to a
statement made yesterday by Col.!
Harry D. Calhoun.
1 he ( ampbell Soup Company, of!
New Jersey, Colonel Caihoun says, '
has ^contracted with a half dozen 1
farmers in and around Denmark,'
Bamberg county, to grow the plants
which will be allowed to reach a
height of some eight or ten inches.
1 hey will, of course, in the growing
process absorb many of thv mineral
qualities which are to be found in
South Carolina soil. Then they will
be taken up and shipped to New Jersey,
where tomatoes reach a remarkable
growth. The climate of New
Jersey, especially in July and August,
is said <to be particularly favorable to
the full development of the tomato,
and these South Carolina plants, havi"g
gotten their start in Bamberg
county soil, Will J>e carefully looked
after and handled by the Campbell ]
Company, which will of course distribute
these South Carolina tomatoes !
widely over the country.
Mr'. Ross, a. represenative of the
Campbell Company, which has been I
greatly impressed with the possibility '
of South Carolina's vegetable products,
has spent some time in Den- '
mark making arrangements for the 1
tomato plants which are being grown, I
Colonel Calhoun says, by C. C. Crum, j
J. B. Gilliam, W. H. Faust, S. S.

Convict Tells of the
Prison Horror
By Charles Oliver, Ohio State
tontiary Convict From Toledo, as
Told to the United 1'ress.
Ohio State Penitentiary, Columbus,
Ohio.?r-You can't imagine the horror
of iti ... ,,
I war on the fourth tier of Section
U, directly beneath the place where
the fire broke out.
The fire swept up like some charging
monster. It was u|)on us before
we scarcely realized what was happening.
The flames were sweeping in
great sheets along the cell block and
it began to get blistering hot.
There were four of us in our cell
and it got hot as hell. We were
scared. , I'll admit it,'scared half to
death. We started streaming to be
turned loose?to be let hut of that
cell. i
We yelled and yelled at the guards
to come and let us out. Some of the
boys who were yelling didn't use nice
language, hut we wanted to get out.
It seemed as if we were going to be
roasted alive. It got hotter and hotter.
I hope I never go to hell if it's
that hot.
We finally hit on the idea of turning
on the water tap in our cell. We
let it run wide-open and pretty soon
the floor was covered with water: We
laid down and rolled around in the
water trying to get cooled off.
Prisoners all over the cell Mock
were screaming to bent hell. We
would put our faces down in the
water and roll around in it and splash
it on each other.
We had given up. We expected to
die. lying there in the water, with
J flames crackling nil around us. Then
at last, a couple of prisoners came
along and knocked the lock off our |
i cell door with a sledge hammer.
We cL^hed into the hall?a hall of '
flame. We helped knock the locks)
I off of three cells and helped the men 1
' get out.
Befone we could get out to safety
tne flames were scorching us", singe- *
ing the hair off our heads. i
It's my personal opinion that thy
fire started from a short circuit.
They've been having trouble with the
lights.- They u<*iv all the time going '
on ar.d < :f f;?r no apparent reason.

Census Shows 1,212
Increase 1'or Cainden
Returns from the preliminary count
made by the census enumerators
show that < ^linden now has a population
of 5,1 13* us compared with
3,030 in 11)20, an increase of approximately
31 per cent in the last
ten years. These figures are not
final und complete tabulation may
show more names on the list.
The figures given above are for
thut part of Oamdcn included in its
six wards und does not include any
of the t\yo mil!, villages or any of
those who reside outside of the corporate
limits.
There is no way of getting the
exact number of those living within
a mile of the court house arid Camden's
outlying population is only a
matter of speculation and one man's
guess is as good as another. It is
expected that this figure would probably
run the total up around 7,500
or 8,000 people.
