W" FIEND LYNCHED" he Brotil Assault 00 a Yoorg White Girl at Honea Path Avenged. BRUTE HUNG AND SHOT 'Taken from Officers After E.vct(inf{ Chase Through Several Counties, the Fie?d was Taken to the Scene of His Crime, Hun<; and Riddled Willi lliillcts. A negro l>oy, about seventeen years old, committed a criminal assault on a twelve year old white girl at Ho ilea Path on Tuesday morning. The brutal assault occurred about half-past seven o'clock some three hundred yards from the limits of the town, where the little girl had gone to put a cow in a pasture. According to the little girl, she was attacked from the rear ,while she was going to a pasture with cows, the attack being made within three hundred yards of the incorporated limits of Ilonea Path, and after dragging liis little victim about seventylive yards into a patch of woods he accomplished his dasstardly purpose .behind a dead log. The little girl emerged from the woods, attracted the attention of a passerby and gave the alarm. The negro then passed through the town to a butcher shop where he worked. He was found later ax uie shop by Constable Ilaynes, who took him before the girl, and after she had positively identified him, the constable, with two other citizens, hurried the negro to the jail at Anderson in an automobile. The infuriated citizens were searching the woods during the while and did not learn that the negro had been apprehended until he was on his way to the jail. As soon as the dastardly outrage became known the people of Honea Path gathered and began a rigid search as above stated for the fiend. As soon as it was learned that the negro had been caught and taken to ? ir?ff Tlnnea Path J\ II LI I hUIl , a CI W IT \4 IV* for that place, bent on lynching the fiend if trey could get him in their hands. A disipatch from Anderson says more than a hundred heavily armed men arrived there at eleven o'clock from Honea Path. Some came on trolley cars, others on the train, and the remainder in automobiles. Fifteen minutes before the crowd arrived at Anderson thenegro had been I itaken in a fast automobile and was '.speeding to the Greenville Jail, thirty six miles away.

The car they left in was a fast one, but when it departed from Anderson it had 110 chains 011 the wheels.

"Citizen" Josh clutched a Winchester rifle in his hands and eagerly inquired where the ne?ro had been taken.

Wo have seen it stated in several newspapers that a majority of the farms in South Carolina were owned ly negroes, and that they were still buying land in large quantities. We no11Id not understand how this could be true and intended to hunt the matter p, but the Newberry Observer has fore stalled us by setting the facts much better than we could have done. Here is what the Observer says on the matter: "Current Events"?described in its title as "a condensed newspaper, weekly, for use in public and private schools"?published at Springfield, Mass., and Chicago, 111., contains some very startling information for the boys and girls of this great country. "Current Events" has been in existence for 1 1 years and, according to its own statement, "has a larger circulation than any other school paper in the world"; and in an excellent school journal, though it does blunder sometimes, as in this in stance, when it says, in its issue of Sept. 29: "Negroes are. buying) many farms throughout the South and especially in South Carolina. From 1900 to 1010 the farms owned by negroes in'rreased by 1 1,295. There are now 176,180 farms in that state. More than half of them , or 96,696, are owned by the eoJored people." This big blunder is no doubt occasioned by mistaking the meaning of "farms operated'" as reported in the census. The Observer has not seen the agrii r.1(11(1 hut tins (ho cuii r;u iui * .> x v xxx.x. census of 19 00; from which we take the following statistices as to per cent of "farms operated" by whites and colored in the Sothern states at that time: White.

It FUELS KILLED IN FIGHT. Over a Hundred Dead as Result of Mexican Hattle. Fighting for the possesion of the little town of Chiapilla, Mexico, held by insurrectos whose strength was estimated as 900, a force of volunteers, numbering but 190, killed 130 rebels and captured 10G, eighteen of whom were wounded. The loss to the Government force is given as less than a dozen killed. Early reports were that the State troops met with little opposition, but it is now know that the encounter was the fiercest since the beginnng of the insurrection. The State troops were commanded by Col. Manuel Pas. Gen. Antoro Holinas commanded the rebels and according to the prisoners be escaped with the majority of his force. His second in command, "Col." Marcelino Jiminez, was killed. The rebel force was throe-fourths Chanipula Indians.

G'oltra, of St. Louis, Will llo in Charge of Wilson Campaign. ?Is Princeton Man.?Group of Princeton Men to Have Charge of the Financial Side of Campaign. News conies from Washington that William Jennings Bryan is for Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic nomination. Me believes Wilson will win, has told many of his followers so in the last few days, and has given his general indorsement to Wilson as the sort of man who should lead the party. The Wilson campaign is to be largely in the hands of Edward F. Goltra, of St. Louis, who in the next few weeks will be elected national Democratic committeeman from Missouri. Goltra is a former classmate of Bryan and also a Princeton man, imbued with all the Princeton loyalty to Wilson. Mis selection as committeeman for Missouri is made with the acquies cence of Joseph W. Folk, who, it the deal goes through, is likely to be the candidate for Vice-President with Wilson. Wilson headquarters are to be opened this week at 12 Broadway, New York, with Mr. Goltra in general charge, and with a group of wealthy Princeton men looking after the important buisness of raising money to manage the preconvention plan. This is the substance of the story brought back by politioians who were present at the National Convention Congress at Kansas City. Mr. Byran spoke there, spending most of a day and night. During, his stop in Kansas City he confered with many Democratic leaders. In substance, he said to all of them, according to all accounts: "It is not my desire to discourage any man's ambitions; I am certainly not going to be put in the position of appearing to attempt dictation. You gentlemen go right ahead with your plans and ambitions. But Wilson is the man who is going to be nominated. It's just as good as fixed." 1 A * * - ? i r f/w ilonn in. mat xvir. i)r)iui ir. iv^i m stead of Champ Clark is regarded as the most important development. The differences between the Nebraskan and the Speaker are commonly referred back to the Underwood-Bryan incident, and to umbrage Mr. Bryar is alleged to have taken because Mr Clark did not stand for the Bryar ideas in connection with the wool anc steel schedules. At any rate, the de fection of Bryan from Clark is ac cepted as very well established. The recent death of Col. Mose Wot more, *he St. Louis tobacco million aire and friend of Bryan, opened th< way to the selection of a new nationa committeeman from that State. The most difficult part of the pres ent story to accept is that Goltra I to be made the new Missouri com mitteeman. He is frankly a Wilsoi man, and his selection would be in ef feet a repudiation of both Folk am Clark. Champ Clark is not in position t< oppose Folk's dispositions, becaus he was chairman of the convcntioi which endorsed Folk for Missouri' Presidential choice. FIGHTING IN PORTUGAL.
