r HUNG ON THE DANGER SIGNAL JUDGE LYNCI1 ULI 8 A DKCUKK, The M)Htc**l?uH Murder of a Negro In OraMKt'bui g County? lie llad Keen Accused oi'Artion aiul Set Free. Orangeburg County was the scene of a lynching on Tuesday night, f>th Inst. The following are the facts as ascertained : Karl v this (Wednesday) morning the lifeless body of Lawrcnc Brown, a well-built negro of about 20 years, was found hanging from the danger signal at the crossing of the old stage road and the South Carolina and Georgia railroad, one mllo from Stilton, anil about throe miles from Orangeburg. How it got there is still a mystery to every one. Several bullet aud gunshot wounds were found on the body. 1 he post from which the body was hanging is about 15 feet high and .'{ foot from the track. The face of the corpse was turned towards the post and his back to the railroad, Dinned to his back was found a placard with the following inscription : "Notice to all whom it may concern: Judgo Lynch's court is in session tonight for the protection of our property, and by the help of God he will convict and execute any man, woman or child that burns or destroys our property with lire. We will protect our homes and property and our neighbors shall not sutler loss from the hellish lire-bugs. Lot this be a warning to others. Coroner Dukes went to the scene of the lynching early this morning and, after empaneling a jury of 12 reliable men, with Capt. G. W. It run son as foreman, commenced the inquest. Isam Brown, brother of the deceased testified that late la>t night ho heard several shots fired in the direction of tho crossing, which is about half a mile from his house, and later he saw throo persons on horseback coining fnitn t.liut. ilinu't ion lint, (win 1/1 n/il. t*?ll who they were, whether negroes or whitep, or even if tlicy were men or women. Ho attached no importance whatever to tho-o circumstances until he found that his brother had been lynched. Mr. R. K. Wannatnaker testified that ho also heard several shots lired * last night about tho same hou>' as sworn to by tho ne^'o, but thought nothing of it, as it was a very common ocou rronce. No one knew until to-day what thosshots meant, but now there i.-> no !< u a but that those, with the rope used, were tho means of sending tho soul of Lawrence Brown Into eternity. Whether or not justice has been done, time alone prove. Following are the facts and circumstances which undoubtedly lcdtoth.s lyu Miing : On last Friday night the barn of Mr. It. 10. Wannatnaker, who lives at iStitton, was burned to the ground, proving a very severe loss to the owner. Lawrence Brown was suspected of the crimo and lodged in jail to await a preliminary bearing. Mr. Wannatnaker said lie had strong proof against Brown, but as there were others implicated also, and he wished to catch the whole crowd, lie decided yesterday to withdraw the charge aguinst Brown, turn him loose and in this way, with the aid ??f a detective, discover who tho others were. Accordingly yesterday (Tuesday) tho charges against Brown were withdrawn and ho was sent on his way rejoicing, hut his joy was apparency short lived. Brown didn't go straight to his homo, and nothing more was heard of him until his ghastly corpse waJ found dangling by tho side of the railroud. Who did the deed, no one knows, and it will very likely always remain a mystery. There are two theories advanced ? ono is that Brown's accomplices,fearing exposure at his hands, eo n milted the deed and placed the placard on his back to mislead those interested. A nnt liot* ig t liti t it. te*tc fluno \wt i Itn friends and neighbors (if Mr. Wannamaker, who symputhiz d with him in his great loss of property. No one can tell which of these is correct. This is the second time Mr. Wannamaker has been burnt out in about two years. A little over two years ago, at night, Mr. It K. Wannamaker bad bis barn and outbuildings burnt, and the very next night those of bis brother, Mr. K N. Wannamaker, who also lives at Stilton, were burnt. Ssvoral negroes are now serving terms in the penitentiary for these crimes. Some excitement and indignation prevails among the negroes, but no trouble is feared. The coroner is using his best endeavors towards finding the guilty parties, but whether or not be will succeod is yet to be seen. It is hoped, however, that success will crown bis untiring elTorts. PItKACHKltS AS HOT liltlCltS. A Short Sermon Pull ol' Points l*or the Baptists and Other Brethren. Rev. J.O. Williams, i). I)., in Christian Index. "What does that moan?" will ask the curious reader. Well, it moans this, that wo have a great many coinfeet Baptists and that many of our churches suiter and nearly die from religious congestive chills. Now, cold feet are a bad symptom. It shows trouble at the heart, and it is ver^ important to get the feet warm just asoon as possible, which is done by keeping hot bricks to thein. There are generally tivo or six bricks in the lire, and as soon as the brick at the feet begins to get cold you hear, " Bring another hot brick?this one is getting cold " And it is removing cold bricks and bringing hot bricks until the patient's feet get warm, or ho dies. Now, with us Baptists, more than any other denomination, preachers are the hot bricks for Baptist cold feet, or rather Baptist cold hearts. This is about the way tho "hot brick cure" works, as nearly as I can describe it. The church complains of great coldness, which gets worse and worsens the time comes nearer to call a pastor. It seems that the churches that call annually are tho ones that are more troubled with coldness and those drci.ilful spiritual congestive chills. Well, October, the "ca'ling" month, has come ; " melancholy <)jtober days are here, tho suudest of all the year " to the poor preachers. And there is something up among the members of Lmdicca Church. There is more life and activity of some sort in ther.i than there has been tho whole year. And don't you know what's tho matter? Why next meeting day is "call day." If calling a preacher don't put life into a Haptist church and stir it up, thcu it is a strango sort of a liaptist church. Nothing stirs up people more than an eloction, though it be the election of a preacher, and particularly when they want a "change," as they call it, not a | change in thenmolves, of their liven and couduot, but u cliaugo of preachers. Says Brotl or Brown to Brothet Jones, the two bell wothors of the Lao dicea llock, " Don't you think, Brothci J ouch, that it is time for our church tc make a 'change' and call another preacher? I've been a feel in' the pulses of the brethren and sisters, and 1 timl that most of them think like I do. Brother Heater, our present pas tor, was powerful when ho tlrst took charge of Laodiccu, but the church has got back into its cold state, and I believe worso than ever, and, in my opinion, if the church don't get another preacher, and that soon, it's going to free/. 9 to death." ' I've been thinking that way my sol I for some time," says Brother Jones. And when the bellwethers put ttieir heads together they are sure to carry the llock their way. The "call day' comes and the La idicoa church goet into a call, after praying for the Divine euidaneo. i>v which Itmthni Brown, who made the prayer, meant his and Brother Jones's guidance?the guldanco of tho two old hollwothore And the prayer wad answered just at he meant and wanted it. Well, the "call" is made, and the result is that Brother Heater, who h now Brother Freezer, has to go ane] give peace to Brothor Hotbriek, win is unanimously called. For a while there is nobody liko Brothor Hot hriek. Laoelieea has found the rigid man at last. The congregations are larger than they ever wore before Ariel from the way the Laoelieeans tulV and brag about the Kev. Hotbriek there is not another such preacher ir the big State of Georgia, nor in little South Carol in i. Bat in less than t year Brother Hotbriek b gins to be Breither Ceildbriek. A hot brick ean'1 stay hot forever, and the feet of the brethren and sisters at L iodieea are at eolu as Ite. They are not "lukewarm' now, but "cold" sure enough. They've got an awfuI chill. The chill lias bee n coming on semie time1, hut the Luodiceans made se much fuss over Brother Uotbricl when they lirst got him that they were ashamed to ceitnplain of coldness en some time. There 'o re several thing! that < ?> duel Brothe r Hotbriek on them Ono was that the K v. Hotbriek wen tei l/iodieea, a young man, ami unmar rieel, an el when he made up his mine tee he- Hie; husband e?f exm wife ami be cause he eeiuldn't be the husband o every e>!d sister's daughter who win anxious for her daughter to bo the wife ill a poor Baptist preacher, thai made the- whole; sisterhood verv ho against him, hut made him very eolt to them, so that in their opinion i change of prcuchors was in ado neees sary. And besides making tho woiuet mad hecauso ho couldn't marry lawfully more than " ono wife," ho hat got tho ill will of mnuoof tho hrothron for one reason and another, and then was opposition to liiin, winch wai growing. This coming to tho knowl edge of the two old hdlwothers t>f tin Laodicca llock, who unfortunate!) wore >-Li 11 living, they said : " Well tho lime to eall a preaohor foi next year wiil soon bo hero, and tin sooner we get rid of Brother liotbrict the better. Religion never was a: cold in Laodicca church as it is undoi his ministry. Ho has boon anything l)uL a hot brick to Laodicca. Ant then wo can't all'ord to have oui church divided on pastor. Rivisiom about preachers will kill a churcl quicker than anything else." Mint you, it was the guidance of tho two ok bellwethers. Deacons drown and Jones that called Brother llotbrick to Laodl ecu. Well, tho anxiously looked foi "call day " has coiuo. There is tilt usual talk about "tho cold state" o tiie church, and of course Hrothor Hot brick, now Brother Coldbrlck, is uiadt responsible for it. aud the bellwether. any ho has got to go. " Bring nnothoi hot brick : this out is cold." One o tho bellwothe -s of tho Luodlcoa llocl nominates for the "call," " for tin ensuing your," one Brother Sooreher of whom hu has heard wonderful ue counts and thinks that he is tho vorj preacher for Liociicua. B other Scorcher is called. But he\ too hot a brick?he's a scorcher, surt enough. lie scorches tho brotliret for drinking whiskey, and for thoii covetouness, and tho women for dane in and paying mure attention to tin outward than to the inward adorn tnonts. Thoy don't want that sort o warming up. And now they are goirifj to scorch Brother Scorcher. it's r time of high political excltomont ant party spirit, when every man is watch cd very closely to find out where ht stands. And from certain tilings that Bro tiier Scorcher said in his preaching lu gave great o IT once to tho free silvei men, who at onco published him ai preaching in tho interest of tho gulc hugs, h'or instance on one occasion, it describing tho glories of tho New Joru salem, lie said that " its streets won paved with gold," which tho silvei men in his church tuok as a hit at free silver. But they couldn't say anything, and just gritted their teeth, saying t< themselves: 'Never mind, old fellow, we'll tako itoutjof your gold iiidi next ' call ' day. It ain't farolT." And no doubt they'll do it. And when Brother Scorcher leaves Laodiceu it eun'1 he said that lie loft it in a very cold state, for lie leB it in a very hot, but in a very bad state. Ard so this " iiot brick" preacher business will go on to tho " eond of'the chapter." As an old Baptist preacher over- bore in South Carolina said when ho was spelling and trying to read tho hard names in the first chapter of Matthew one morning at family worship at tho homo of a brother, and finally lie shut up the Bible completely whipped out. saving. ''And so t.h?>v went on it hcgatting one another to the eenu of the chapter ; let ut pray." I do wish that the Baptists could get to the ' ( end of the chapter " of making hot brick* out of their preachers. Pastors ire shepherds to watch over the Hock and to feed the H >ok, not hot bricks to warm their cold feet and cold hearts. These "cold feet" Baptists ought to be burnt. ??

KXAMI'liK lluw Mounter Morgan Won a Ciiho Witli the Hible in llmid. . <i. N. II. iii Atlanta Journal. ) It was home twouty years ago thut Senator John T. Morgan won a very i remarkable case in the probate court i of Mobile County, Ala., by using the lllble as his chief book of reference before the jury. A lady possessed of considerable property, died and on her deathbed executed a will, leaving everything she owned to her throe daughters. Soon after iter death, the dwelling in which the young ladles resided was burned, and the will was destroyed r before it was probated. The three young daughters sought to probate a copy of the will drawn up from what they remembered of its con' tents. Other heirs undertook to light ? the case. Senator Morgan represented the young ladies, urid a very distin guished ex-judge of Alabamu ropro sunvcu iiio contestants. l/no ease came up for a bearing bofoio Judge I'rico Williams, Jr., who is still tins probato judge of Mobile County. 1 was at that time a clerk in the record ollioe and was present during the hoar* ing of the case. A jury was asked for and one was empanelled. The young ladies were put under too rule, and while one was testifying the other two were excluded from the courtroom . The first of the ladles upon the stand testified to the contents of the alleged wili, and stated that to the best of tier recollection her mother, while sitting up in bed, wrote upon foolscap paper and with a pencil. Toe next gave about the same testimony as to the contents of the document, but said it was written on noto paper and in ink The third corroborated her sisters as to the contents of the will, hut said that as she remembered in the writing was on letter paper and in purple ink. At tlie conclusion of the evidence for the applicants the court took a short recess, and Judge IJoyles walked into the record room to smoke a cigar, and ho there found Senator Morgan busily engaged in reading the Bible. "What are you looking for in the Holy Book, General?" asked Judge Bovles. "Oh, a few texts between Genesis and Kcvelations," was the reply. When the arguments began Judge Boyles, with the eunlidenee of a winner, arose and proceeded to tear the ovidonco of the yourg ladies into i smithereens, hy holding up before fho . jury the discrepancy of the testimony. " We fortunately put them under the rule," be exclaimed, "and not one of them agr ed as to how that will was written. Just think, they had It 011 all sorts of paper and written with all kinds of ink and pencils." He then referred to Senator Morgan studying the Bible and said a lawyer was in des perate straits when ho had to leave his law hooks and take refuge in the Word of God Senator Morgan leaned hack in his chair, listened, smiled and stroked his short gray mustache. I'hnally it came his turn to address the jury. He walked forward with Hihlc in iiis hand and said : " I hold in my hand a Book that 1 was tuugut to believe and to reverence at my mother's knee. Gentlemen of lhe jury, I know that every 0110 of you learned to look uiion this sacred volume i with respect when a mother's holy i iovo guided your youthful footsteps. 1 In this book I studied tins life of too , Master, and let mo tell you why I bo liuve the four gospels hhve recorded r the truth. It is necauso they differ in 3 some of the minor details. If Matthew, f Mark, Luke and John were in collusion * and got together to frame a fictitious 3 history, they would have been ex- i i ceedingly careful to lix the details so * as to exclude any discrepancies. In f Matthew we read that Christ, when on i trial, was clothed with a scarlet robe. 3 In Mark, Luke and John it is recorded , that Lie wore a purple robe. In Mat thew, Mark and Luke wo read thutonc f Simon, of Cyrene, bore tho cross to the place of crucifixion. In John it Is < * written that Jesus brtre tho cross him-' 3 self. All dilTer as to tho words writ? ten above the cross. Matthew has it: 1 r ' This is Jesus tho Kng of tho Jews;' - Mark : ' The King of the Jews;' Luke: 3 ' This is the 1<ing of tho Jews John: < 'Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the f Jews.' I say to you that these very f differences stamp the gospels with i I).vine truth. Now il the young ladies , 1 had gotten together in collusion to toll , - iv siury 01 toe writing' 01 a will null i never existed, they would huve agreed i upon the details tis to the paper, ink, etc. This would have been their llrst | J thought Their recollections differ | " because the act of which they havi testdiod occurred when their soulI were troubled at the deathbed of their i beloved mother. As wiih the gospels, the discrepancies of their evidence is > a testimony of the truth of what thej utter." * i > Senator Morgan won the case. ' ?
