NEGROES WERE LYNCIIEI).

Taken From the Blacksburg Jail and
Hanged by Mob.
At Blacksburg Joe Brinson and
Frank Whisonant, colored, were
lynched early Friday morning, by a
small mob which broke into the town
jail, after -all policemen on duty had
retired for the night. The negroes
were carried to a blacksmith shop
and hanged from the rafters. The
mob then dispersed. The negroes, it
was alleged, had taken a respectable
white man to a deserted spot in a
cemetery and forced him to drink a
pint of whiskey. After getting this
white man intoxicated, it is alleged,
they attacked him.
The victim was left alone in the
emetery, and, getting over the effects
of the whiskey, told his fellow townsmen
of what had happened. The negroes
were captured and placed in the
jail. There was little trouble in
breaking into the jail.
Hanged for Killing Wives.
At Athens, (la., Will Bell, a negro,
who killed his wife and brotherin-law
several months ago, was hanged
in the county jail and at Athens,
Ga., ITezokiah Stevens, a young negro,
was hanged for the murder of
his wife last October. Both hangings
took place on Friday.

TELLS OFjllS WORK
WHY GREIGHTON WAS EMPLOYED
BY GOV BLEASE.
?
WAS A PATRIOTIC DUTY
Which Wan to (hither Information
Touching tho Violation of the
Criminal Laws of tlio Stale, the
Noii-Knforceiuent of the Same and
Report to the Coventor.
In the last issue of his paper, the
, Christian Appeal, C. W. Creighton
. makes the following statement un
del* the caption of "Personal," in
s which he tolls of his appointment by
Governor Please to some kind of an
. office with a good fat salary attached:
In the closing days of March of last
. year we received a letter from Oov,
ernor Please requesting us to come
. to Columbia. We went and met the
I Governor in his oilice. The Governor
, told us that he needed a trustworthy
man to assist him in the enforcement
i of the law throughout the state and
; explained to us in detail what our
[ duties would be in case we accepted
i the position. After a thorough uni
derstanding of the work we were ex
pected to do we accepted the position
and the Governor fixed the salary and
gave us our commission. We entered
hopefully upon the work and have
done what we could in the way of
discharging the trust reposed in us.
Our chief duty has been to gather
information touching the violation of
the criminal laws of the state, the
non-enforcement of the same and report
the facts to the Governor. To
our mind this was a patriotic duty
thatevery law-abiding man would
gladly perform.
A little thought will make clear
to every person the importance of
such information to the Governor in
the enforcement of the law and the
cr"nt honnfH to the state and society
generally.
In this state there are to-dav only
six counties in which the sale of liquor
is legally authorized; the others
are strictly speaking prohibition
counties and In these counties we
knew the law was on trial. In these
prohibition counties the enforcement
of the law originates with and devolves
upon the Governor, and yet it
is in the power of the local authorities
to seriously hamper his efforts
and defeat the law.
Wo have always had an earnest
desire to do something to aid in the
enforcement of the law against the
illegal sale of liquor and when Governor
Illease gave authority to look
after the enforcement of this law it
was like the realization of a cherished
hopo long abandoned. We knew
that we would have the Governor
and his constabulary and every county
oflicer that he could reach at our
back and wo believed that our efforts
would not be without benefit to
the state and society and in this we
have not been disappointed.
Our duty was not confined to this
1 particular sphere of activity but included
the whole field and we there
fore gatnereci lniormauuu auu lcpun,ed
on the enforcement of other laws.
I The fact that we were employed
to assist the Governor In this way
was not published to the world; a
I man following up the enforcement of
, the law does not take a press agent
along with him and yet it was known.
Tho warrants for our salary and
I vouchers were on file in public offices
and showed that they were
( paid from the fund for the enforce,
ment of law and order. This was
enough to show fair and impartial
, men that we were employed in that
department of the public service.
But a few papers in the state have
i tried to create a sensation over the
fact that we were paid salary by
tho Governor. The State newspaper
i went so far as to ask us to state the
i nature of our services. This we
, flatly refused to do; it was a piece of
impertinance and an effort to intrude
into our private business. That paper
went farther and insinuated that
thero was something mysterious in
oi.r ielation to the Governor's office
and the payment of our salary. We
find it utterly impossible to command
language ?o propcv!v characterize
that insinuation. However, when
Governor Hlease gave out an interview
in which he detailed our employment,
our duty and services rendered
thero was but one thing loft
for that paper as an honorable journal
to do, and it has not boon done.
Some of the papers referred to
bnvA not lifted hand or voice to as
sist In the enforcement of the law
but every day flood those prohibition
counties with liquor advertisements,
not even excepting the Sabbath,
thereby offering men every inducemen
to violate the law. These same
papers will he crying out later, "Prohibition
is a failure."
We havo undertaken a patriotic
but laborious duty, just the duty that
every law-abiding man who feels an
interest in the elevation of public
morals and the promotion of civic
I righteousness owes to his state.
Thoso who feel as wo do and agree
with us will sympathize with and
help us; towards others wo are supremely
indifferent.

A FATAL RIOT OCCURS
?
THKKK KILLED AND NINE HURT
AT DOCK ISLAND, ILL.
Newspaper Attacks on Mayor Eventuates
in Suppression of Issue, and
Violence Soon Results.
At Rock Island, Illinois, three persons
were killed and nine hurt Wednesday
night in a riot which grew
out of strained relations which have
existed for several days between
Mayor Schriver and some of his opponents.
Several hundred persons were in
the mob that surrounded police headquarters,
where two of the leaders
of disorders that have previously occurred
were detained.
Bricks wore tnrown ana windows
of the police station were smashed.
Mayor Schriver, directing the police
squad, ordered the oflicers to charge
the mob. Shots were ilred by the
police and a number of men were
seen to fall. This caused the rioters
temporarily to withdraw.
Three men were picked lip dead.
Nino were so badly wounded that
they were hurried to a hospital. After
the dead and wounded had been
removed, the mob re-organized and
one of the leaders directed the crowd
to a hardware store for the purpose
of breaking down the doors and securing
a fresh supply of arms. This
move was checked by a squad of police
which was at the hardware store
when the mob arrived.
In response to Sheriff Bruner's appeal
to Gov. Deneen to rush troops to
the city, several companies are expected
before morning. The Mayor
recently began a campaign to rid the
city of undesirable persons, so he
announced, but his enemies declared
he wanted to oust his political enemies.
Mutterings of disconte'nt have been
growing for several days. The otner
day the editor of a weekly paper
published an article which denounced
Mayor Schriver and the mayor ordered
that the issue of the paper be
suppressed.
Announcement of the publication
was made at a mass meeting of opponents
of the mayor and after the
meeting a large crowd went to the
newspaper olllee to get copies of the
r>iinnnniitc U'Ol'o
I'll (JtJi i i lie nia^y ui o w|'|/wn\/iivki i? v
angered by the fact that Mayor
Schriver had physically chastized the
editors of the paper for previous editorial
aspersions. The police ordered
the crowd from in front of the paper
otlice and several arrests were made.
Tuesday the body of Frank H.
Potts Winona Junction, Wis., was
found in a hallway. It was reported
lie had been killed in the disturbance
in front of the newspaper otlice.
Feeling ran high and a mass meeting
was called for Tuesday night. Petitions
for the recall of Mayor Schriver
and Commissioner Ilart were circulated
at the meeting.
A crowd gathered after the meeting,
swearing vengeance for the attacks
made on the crowd at the newspaper
office. Some of the rioters declared
the police had murdered Potts,
although physicians Tuesday night
announced he probably died of apoplexy.
At midnight, apparently, the
authorities have the situation well in
hand. Although the outbreaks are
momentarily feared, the local and
Moline militia are on the ground.

TWO NEGROES HUNG
ACCUSED OF HEINOUS BRUTALITY
TO A WHITE MAN.
THEY BORE BAD NAMES
Deadly Work I>one About Midnight,
the Mob Leaving No Clue?Iiodies
Found in ftlucksinith Shop Near
the Town Prison, Where Victims
Were lleing Held.
The first lynching Cherokee Countv
hflfl fiver known occurred in the
peaceful lit tlo village of Blacksbu^g,
eight miles from Gaffney, some timo
Thursday night, presumably about
midnight, when Frank W. Whisonant
and Joe Brinson, negroes, wero
hanged by a mob, which did its work
so quietly that so far no clues have
boon obtained as to the identity of
the lynchers The negroes were in
the Mlacksburg jail, charged with assault
with a deadly weapon, carrying
concealed weapons, selling liquor,
highway robbery in the night
time.
It was alleged that the negroes
met a white man named Jim Childress
about 1 1 o'clock Wednesday
night, just after he had arrived i*i
town. Childress stated that they tried
to sell him a pint of whiskey, but
for a timo he demurred, then finally
agreed to buy the whiskey; that ho
was taken to a deserted part of town,
whereupon one of the negroes drew
a pistol upon him and demanded his
money, threatening to kill him.
Childre says he gave up his money,
a small amount of silver, following
which he was ordered to proceed to a
cemetery away from the town, and
when he reached there the negroes,
ho alleges, threatened him with a
pistol and trated him outrageously.
As soon as Childress escaped from
his assailants he reported the matter
to tho pollco. A search was at onco
n fnr Itio n Ofrrnpfl flPfllSOil I) v
i W * I n V> WV/W "V.V j
Childress, but they were not located
until Thursday morning, when they
were arrested and arraigned in the
Police Court. There, it is stated,
they acknowledged tho crime, but
each negro laid It on the other. They
wore adjudged guilty by the mayor
of Dlacksburg and sent back to jail.
Throughout the day there was somo
excitement and there was talk of
lynching, but this was not given credence
by the Illacksburg oilicers and
no precautions were taken.
Chief of Police Allison states that
he went off duty at 10 o'clock and
that at that time the town was perfectly
quiet and that there was no
excitement of any kind. Friday morning
a clerk in a store went to tho
well in tho public square to get a
bucket of water and there found tho
rope was gone. lie reported the matter
and an investigation was started
at the jail. It was then found that
the door to tho council chamber had
been broken open with a sledge hammer
and the padlocks on the cell door
had been split open. The negroes
wore gone. A few seconds later tho
bodies were found suspended from
the rafters of a blacksmith shop
within less than one hundred yards
nf tho ini 1
Official notification was then sent
to Coroner Vinesett and Sheriff
Thomas. By 10 o'clock Blacksburg
was filled with hundreds of visitors
from all sections. It had been expected
that Solicitor J. C. Otts, of
Spartanburg, would arrive by noon
and therefore no official action was
taken up to that time, but when ho
failed to arrive the officers took
charge and the inquest was begun.
After the jury was taken to the scene
and the bodies viewed, the bodies
were cut down at 1:15 o'clock.
The most important piece of evidence
presented to the coroner's jury
was that of a Mr. Gaston. Mr. Gaston
was on his way home Thursday
about midnight, when he saw a band
of horsemen numbering about ten or
twelve coming into the town. He did
not observe their action hut thero
can bo little doubt as to the fact of
their being the lynchers.
A Mr. Smythe, who lives near the
jail, testified to having heard a sound
as if a door was being forced upon.
Or. T. S. It. Ward, who examined the
bodies, stated that the necks of both
negroes were broken. The shop in
which they wpre hanged was not over
twelve feet High and it is, therefore,
evident that several men must have
borne down on their shoulders to
have caused this.
The two negroes were trussed up
in a most workmanlike manner.
Their hands and feet were tied; one
negro had his mouth stuffed full of
cotton, while the other was tied in
such :i manner that the rope passed
directly across his throat, preventing
any outcry. After examining seven
witnesses, the coroner's Jury decided
that they could not come to a verdict,
and, therefore, took an adjournment
until Friday, April 5, at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. On that day tho
hearing will ho resumed.
A man who voted for Governor
Rlease in the last primary predicted
In our presence tho other day that
Orangeburg County would give Judgo
Jones at least Ave hundred majority
; this year.
