A PAINFULL. EXPERIENCE.
This headline reads like a
patent medicine advertisement.,
put it isn't but after undergoing
jLlie painful experience we are
about to relate, we felt for a
foment or so that a little patent,
or some other kind of medicine
would come in rather handily.
A subscriber cume in, called
for his bill, paid it, and requested
us to stop the paper. Upon be
ing questioned by us as to his
^retisons for this rash act, he dis
claimed any objection to the pa
per,. but cotton was no low that
lie could not afford to take it, his
.final reason being that he did not
^iave time to reud.
In tlie name of Sulley, what!
^Cotton too low at 10 cents for
pur friend to take as good a
pounty paper as we hope is ours,
?vhich costs 'the subscriber a
grille less than three cents a
^nreek. .Time so precious that
the farmer cannot so arrange his
work that he can devote no time
Jbo intellectual pursuits, whieh
includes the reading of news
papers, thus keeping up with
?he news of his county, his State
and the outer world.
If this state of affairs is gene
ral among our farmers; if they
yan't afford to take their county
paper becausfc cotton is ao low,
j(it is 10 cents or bettor at this
yrriting); if they cannot so ar
range their affairs as to devote
4it> least a couple of hours each
.day, during the slack times at
Jeast, to the acquiring of know
ledge of affairs that are trans
piring in the outer world, as
well as imbibing new ideas of
^/alivj through the reading of ag
ricultural journals, then we are
jti a bad hole.
We do not, we cimnot believe
that this is the case. Statistics
jfrhow plainly that we are push
jug forward in this agricultural
face for fortune, aud they also
jiliow that the most successful
farmer is the best road farmer,
and the fanner who has profited
Jjy what he has read.
We promptly cancelled our
friend's subscription, but earn
estly hope, for his salto. if his
pye happens to meet these lines,
J.hat ho will equally promptly re
pew it.
MUltDEK.
The killing of Allen Pendle
ton, a nogro, at Honea Path on
ihe 17th, by an .unmasked mob,
the details of v iiicli appear olse
}vhere, was a brutal and atroci
ous murder. We can find uo
shadow of excuse for the crime.
The negro was going peacably
l^omo, was waylaid by two wlute
pien, boaten with his own whip,
anh foroed to tight for his life,
filling ono ot his assailants.
"\Vliat more natural, and for that
flatter, wliat more right?
Belf preservation is the first
jaw of nature, and oven if the
negro was drunk as stated, ho
jnerely followed the instinct of
golf protection, and wo will ven
ture to say that had he been
brought to trial before a fair
jury, ho would havo boon prompt
ly acquitted. The spirit of this
Jtind of lawlessness is becoming
pntirqly too rampant, and an ex- 1
aiT\plQi ^ wholesale oxamplo at
^hat should bo promptly made.
We are on record as not abso
lutely opposed to lynchings as
!>uniHhuient for certain crimes
where f^roof of guilt is positive,
pnd ijqt merely circumstantial. !
Red handed in wider however, ns
{n tho oaso above, moots with
pur severest condemnation. Wo
?pe that every rnau who bad a
hand In ii will It- kvif ood the
Lord have mercy oa their souls,
for man should hate none on
their bodies. We are glad to see
that the Governor has acted so
promptly, he having ordered the
Solicitor immediately to the
scene.
THE KU.1INU OF ALLEN
PENOnSTON CALIil FOIC
INVESTIGATION.
White Men At Fault? Waylaid*
the Nejrro and Forced Htm
to Flfkt.
S, roial to The Slake.
Honea Path, Sept. 18. ? -The
particulars in regard to the kill
ing of Allen Pendleton last night
show that instead of being a
lynching it was . a foul murder.
The whole story, so far as
your correspondent can learn, is
aboutas follows: Sometime dur
ing the day yesterday, Moore,
the man who was killed, ran into
Pendleton's buggy with his.
Yesterday afternoon when Pen
dleton started home, Jim Moore
and Oscar McDonald waylaid the
road for him and " the difficulty
occurred. McDonald testified at
Moore.' s inquest that Moore was
drunk and when Pendleton came
up to where they were in wait
ing Moore asked Pendleton what
he had been saying about him.
Pendleton jumped out of his
buggy "-"d replied, "Nothing,"
but if he wanted anything he
could get it, and they began to
tight aud Pendleton cut him to
death. ?
The Nfgo'i ntorjr.
The negro lust night before he
was killed said that they caught
his mule by the bridle and
stopped him; that ho begged
them to let him go; that they be
gan to beat him with his whip;
that they undertoak to pull him
out of his buggy and that while
they were beating him and pull
ing him out of his buggy he cut
Moore.
The (llrl'i SUtcwent,
A girl about 15 years of age,
bright and weM educated for her
age, was passing and saw the
occurrence. She would have no
reason for misstating the case.
She said to your correspondent
to-day: "I saw him kill him."
When asked to state how it was,
she replied : "Father and I were
coming up the road; the white
men had their horse tied by the
side of the road and were wait
ing; when the negro came out
into the road they caught his
mule by the bridle and stopped
him, the negro said, 4I promised
>Ir. Monroe to have his mule
home by night; please let me go;
they took hi%> whip and began to
beat him; then pulled him out of
the buggy and the negro cut one
of them; the negro came on and
drove by us; he was crying and
have his mule home by night
and they are boating mo and
won't let me go."
This girl's story is generally
believed here to be true in every
particular.
Trtatl to Ktcape,
' The negro theu drove on to
wards town trying to escape. It
is said by those who saw him
coin i nig along the road that he
could have jumped from the
buggy and made his escape
through the woods, but he seem
ed bent on bringing Mr. Monroe's
mule home, as ho had promised.
Ho was captured just on the
Abbeville and Anderson line,
about a half mile below llonca
Path, and carriod back to Magis
trate Melvin Ashley's. Mr. Ash
ley was not at home. Soon John
Ashley came up and begau to
beat the negro with a piece of
plank and swearing that they
were going to kill him. Others
came up and the negro was car
riod back to the scene of the
killing. On tlio way ho jumped
from the buggy and ran, but
was snot with a shotgun and re
captured.
I'lnitlfd n Itti tlio
When they arrived at the
arrived at the scene of the Kill
ing a considerable cro.vd had
gathered for the purpose of
lynching the negro. C. K. Har
per, John l<\ Monroe, and Editor
G. E. Mooro had heard of the in
tended lynching, and were pres
ent: they begged the mob lo let
the law take its course. Magis
trate Ashley came and joined
them in pleading for the uegro,
and begging tho crowd to dosert
from iis purpose. They got a
promise from the slain boy's
father that he would wait till tho
IK'ople of the entire community
gathered and leave it with 12 in
ilueutml men to say what should
be done with tho negro.
They phoned to Donalds and
Honea 1'ath for help to wive the|
negro; but a fow hot heads led
by .John Marion Ashley, Hugh
Bo wen and Ham Bigby would
listen to no longer delay, and
when the men from Donalds and
Honea Path wore almost in sight i
they carried tho negro off and !
riddled his body with bullets.
Tho negro's Inxly whs left by
tho wayside whero it lay till |
this morning without any one
etching over it.

Of course Mr. Jalius Iseur got

14I am sending you a little1

no other hands than mmo would
ever be permitted to touch them
after yon put them on. But,
alas! a score of fellows may
touch them when I'm not by
your side, and otner eyes may
see them when you are on the
streets or at parties.

could find, and if they are too
long, you can let them wrinkle
down. A great many girls I
know wear them slipped down a

You can clean them easily dear,
with benzine, if you leave them
