Dallas, Tex., July 28.?Tad Smith, < a negro boy 18 years of age, charged with criminal assault on Miss Viola D$lancey at Clinton, Hunt county, was captured by officers to-day. He was taken before the young woman and identified. The prisoner was then hurried toward the Greenville jail. Before arriving there, however, a mob of citizens overpowered the officers, took the prisoner and burned him? at the stake. Fagots were piled up in the public square at Greehville and the negro was placed on the heap. Kerosene oil was poured on and a match applied. Smith slowly burned to death while a thousand people looked on. .1 Eczema Cored. ,J. R. Maxwell, Atlanta, Ga., says: . . "I suffered agony with a severe case of eczema.

I cannot say too much in its praise." Tetterine at druggists /vf. hr mail liftp Snnn 2Sp ,T_ T_ Shuptrine, Dept. A. Savannah, Ga. Sheds His Skin. Trenton, N. J., July 30.?For the twenty-eighth time in fifty-three years William U. Cake, a lineolum printer,is shedding his skin like a snake does, only instead of periodically casting aside the cuticle, Cake is likely, to shed his skin any time. First he is taken with a chill, then the shin dries up and cracks on entirely within two weeks. During this- period he suffers agony. As soon as the skin has been shed Cake ^ is all right again. He has several children, but none of them are afflicted with any symptoms of skin shedding. Specialists have seen the man, but none of them have ever done him any govt. Had Eczefba 15 Years. Mrs. Thomas Thompson, of Clarksville, Ga., writes, under date of April 23, 1907: "I suffered 15 years with tormenting eczema; had the best doctors prescribe; but nothing did me any good until I got Tetterine. It cured me. I am so thankful." Thousands of others can testify to similar cures. Tetterine is sold by druggists or sent by mail for 50c. by J. T. Shuptrine, Dept. A, Savannah, Ga. The representative arose to make a speech, and his fellow members be, gan to file out. "Gentlemen," said he calmly, "don't think for a minute you can throw me down. My address is already in the hands of tthe printer with the 'applause' in the proper places." % IN THE OLDEN TIME. Col. T. J. Counts Writes of "Before I)e Wah" Gentlemen. We take the liberty of republishing the following, which appeared in last week's Barnwell People. Col. Counts is always an interesting writer, but- never more so than when [his subject is "befoh de wah" times: | Dear Holmes: Today, the 4th of July, 1908, brings my 81st birthday. T + .nod onH writo without 1 K^CLIL Olill icau auu mibv .. glasses. When yet in my teens I left Barnwell for Graham's Turn Out (now Denmark.) Maj. Henry B. Rice of the firm of D. & H. B. Rice, with whom I had no acquaintance before, upon my application for a clerkship, readily consented to take me at a salary of one hundred dollars a year and furnish me board. I had never seen much of the railroad up to that time, so you may imagine it was a good big thing to look at. The S. C. Railroad was the second railroad known and when finished to Augusta was the longest railroad in the world. If my memory serves me right, the first being up North, don't remember - 1 4- 1.. mttac I WD31 oia.it;, uui uiiij iwcuy uiu&o long. The stringers of this road were eight by ten inches, wood, , twenty feet long, with a flat bar of iron half inch thick by three inches wide spiked substantially to the stringer. The engines were very small?perhaps not one eighth the size of the present engines. The passenger coaches were round and in barrel shape, while the freight boxes were about seven feet wide by fourteen feet long and enclosed (not with wood) but very heavy cotton duck, the top, however, being covered with tin. Prom twelve to fifteen of these freight boxes made up a full train for the trip to Augusta. It was an all day trip from Charleston to Graham's, a distance of eighty one miles, and that was all that the railroad company required. The train forces (as the farmer would say) would stop, take out, and feed for the night. J INeXl muruiug Slici a, icaouuauic breakfast hour they would fire up and leave for Augusta. As a matted of course the passenger train made much better time, but took the whole day to run from Charleston to Augusta, as a great deal of the time was consumed by having to wait for the mail carrier to carry the mail pouch into every mail station on the road and there wait until the postmaster assorted out the mail matter for his office?lock the pouch and hand it back to tne carrier. I was associated with D. & H. B. Rice for ten or twelve years, continuing as a clerk for a part of the time and as a partner in the business for the balance. My relations with the old set of Rices was of such a character that I feel it my duty and a high privilege to add in a few words a justitributd to the memory of these true and. loyal Christian gentlemen, who are not here to hear what I have to say in my humble way, but have long since gone to their rewards. Old man David. Rice and his brother Ben; old man Charlie Rice and his brother John; old man William Rice and his brothers Jessie and Aaron. It was my pleasure in young- days to have business transactions with these old gentlemen, or most of tnem, and it affords me the greatest pleasure, even at this late day, to say that in all my long life I have never met a truer and more honorable, high toned, and broad minded peo i - pie. I have not set out in this letter to discuss the merits and demerits of the people at large, but to tell you the kind of people that lived in that day and time, and let you draw your own conclusions and make the comparisons between the people of the present day, and those of isixty-five years ago. T. While a member of the firm of D. & H. B. Rice we sold from twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars worth of goods a year, and of this amount, we collected from ninety-five to one hundred cents on the dollar and not with the assistance of liens and mortgages, but alone from a disposition on the part of the people to pay their just debts. While I have taken occasion to pay tribute to a few of my old friends there were many others having just as much merit in point of honesty and integrity. But I was more intimately associated with the Rice family for the reason of being connected with the firm of D. & H. B. Rice, a firm of long standing and the senior being the oldest of the whole Rice family of my acquaintance. If .you will indulge me a little further I will mention some of the names of the old people whom I had the pleasure of serving across the counter for many years and who never failed to pay ninety-five to one hundred cents on the dollar of indebtedness: Jno. Turner, John Hanberry, Linton Lee, W. B. Dowling, D. Dowling, O. R. Faust, James Milhous, Daniel Parler, John Guess, Z. G. Graham, H. B. Tindall, John Sojourner, Joe Kennerly, Henry Holman, J. R. Walker, David Felder, John Jennings, Jonathan Eas terlin, John Fogie, uaniei *ogie, juaward Hays, Riley Copeland, George Riley Daniel Kittrell, Sr., Daniel Zeigler, Holman Zeigler, John Zeigler, Jno. Rickenbacl^er, Hardy Tant, Jack Barnes and his brothers William and Dariing. This was the class of people with many others of the same type, that made up the list of the patrons of D. & H. B. Rice and that paid promptly in the fall just as I have said before ninety-five to one hundred cents on the dollar. Most of these old people labored on the farm and their wives and daughters did most of the house work, bought most of their sugar, coffee and homespun, with eggs and chickens, and no wife or daughter ever felt any disgrace to go to the store and trade or barter for what they wished for the family. During the spring and summer we bought and shipped to Charleston hundreds of dozens of eggs, and chickens in proportion, and it was this sort of trade furnished-by the house wife, a helpmate, that enabled the farmer to meet his yearly obligations and enjoy the sweets of the family fire side unmolested by the Sheriff or other officers of the law. Words are inadequate to express the pleasure of visiting these country homes, every inmate of the home meeting you with a spirit of welcome, no one would spurn you or turn their face to keep from greeting you. They were taught politeness and good manners from the cradle, which are two of the cheapest commodities ever enjoyed by a people. All good, honest people were at par and on the same footing; little or no money 1 made no difference in the standing of the people. # Suffice it to say that they needed no homestead or lien law to protect their interests, but preferring honesty upon which they could build a lasting monument to their respective memories.

Charles Snodgrass, a 9-year-old boy was shot to death by Clinton Finley while Finley and several other men were chasing a mad dog. The Snodgrass boy was standing on the bridge at Glenn Run when he heard the cry of "mad dog." He climbed on the girders of the bridge, and while there was struck by a bullet that Finley fired at the dog. * The boy dropped into the creek, and when the body was recovered it was thought he had fallen from the bridge and drowned. It was only when an examination was being made of the body by an undertaker that the bullet wound was discovered. Lightning Burns Church. t .mirprir. .Tulv 15.?During the progress of an electrical storm here this afternoon, Bethel African Methodist church was set on fire by lightning and within less than an hour the building was in ashes. By reason of a defective hose and low pressure of water the fire company was unable to cope with the flames. The building was a wooden structure and the loss is placed at $1,500 with no insurance. Gave Her Another Umbrella. Rock Hill, July 18.?Dr. S. H. Ezell, of Van Wyck, was in the city yesterday upon rather unusual business. He came in behalf of citizens of Van Wyck and brought with him a beautiful and costly umbrella which he presented to Mrs. L. E. Cauthen,! of this city, as a gift from these citizens in token of their appreciation of her pluck. It will be remembered j that a few weeks ago Mrs. Cauthen called upon a prominent lawyer of Lancaster and broke her umbrella upon his person in resentment of treatment at his hands while she f&s under cross-examination as a witness in a case then on trial. These citizens of Van Wyck sympathized with Mrs. Cauthen and her cause and ap* predated her spirit. For that reason they replaced ner DroKen umorena; with a handsome new one. 'Squire Bailes Skips Out. Rock Hill, July 18.?The notorious j "marrying squire," Willard O. Bailes of Fort Mill Township, has skipped the country, heading for, Oklahoma. It will be remembered that he attained his reputation as a Gretna Green artist some years ago while holding a commission as notary public. He advertised for business, getting out a business card with his picture on one side and his price list on the other. In this list were set forth the many different styles and ways that he employed from a plain everyday knot to the most elaborate affair with trimmings at prices to suit the interested party or parties and his or their pocketbook. Many were the couples that Bailes united in matrimony. However expert he was a knottyer, Bailes got into trouble?domestic trouble?and things went on until he became an attraction to the grand jury. When the sheriff went with a warrant for his arrest Bailes had skipped. Sarions Affrays in Anderson. Anderson, July 19.?Anderson county had two fighting scrapes yesterday afternoon which will probably result in the Iqss of t^vo lives. Two white men, Baz Williams, aged 21, and D. C. French, aged 24, are in the county jail awaiting announcements of the deaths of each of their victims. Williams and his father-in-law, Henry Martin, both of whom live near Denver, were in Anderson yesterday. They drank nearly two quarts of whiskey, according to Williams's admission. When they arrived at Martin's home near sundown Williams and his wife, who was Miss Margie Martin, began scuffling in the yard at the side of the house. Martin evidently thought that Williams was fighting her, and he advanced on Williams with an iron rod. Williams says that Martin hit him across the head with the rod, when he (Williams) commenced running to get out of the way. Martin followed him, says Williams, and while running Williams picked up a shovel and hit Martin across the head, crushing the skull. Williams then got his wife, Martin's daughter, and walked to his home, one mile, distant, tie was surprised while in bed by officers this morning. He did not resist arrest. The attending physician says that Martin is in a dying condition and he expects death at any minute. French shot a negro, Will Super, three times with a .32 Smith & Wesson pistol. French runs a livery stable in Williamston and Super had been doing some work for him. Super came to the stables yesterday afternoon in a drunken condition and became incensed at some of French's words. French admits he had been drinking. Super advanced on French, so the latter says, with an opened knife. French received several gashes in his clothes and hat and one wound in his arm. He had a .22 pistol in his pocket and drew it as Super was making other advances. He shot three times, each bullet taking effect in Super's stomach. French came to the city last night with his uncle, W. -A. Cooley, and surrendered to Sheriff Green. The negro is in a dying condition and his death is expected before to-morrow morning. + i SPECIAL NOTICES. Advertisements Under this Head 25c For 25 Words or Less.
