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

rieel, an el when he made up his mine

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.

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

a novel way of paying their church
debt. When appealed to by then

raising the mortgage tiiey did not resort
to the highway robbery of Unchurch

acres of Kansas' fertile land, just outside

husking bees, at ono of which one lady
husked eighty bushels in one day,
they hauled their corn to town ami
