Peaceable Negroes Terrorized by Hands ot Whitecapes who Hare Caused Negroes to Flee to Swamps and the Towns. Special to The State. Greenwood, Aug. 15.?A portion of this county between Greenwood and Phoenix has for more than a week past been terrorized by a gang of so called whitecaps engaged in whipping negroes. The whitecaps began Monday night a week ago and entered the houses of several negroes who were taken out and whipped, i Since then this performance has ! been several times repeated and i lie negroes are badly frightened. The object of the white caps is to drive oil' negro tenant^ in order to secure control at. low prices of valuable farm lands in that section much of which is rented to negroes by the white landlords. There is no political foundation for the troubles atid the offenders are said to belong to a low class of whites. The negroes have taken to the woods and swamps at night ' to avoid the visitation of the gang J and many of the colored people i have come to Greenwood, some 1 of them bringing all their possessions and refusing to go back home. Inoffensive negroes are j said to have been whipped and , they have told of their troubles * to white friends here but are t afraid to talk openly. So far as > known none have left this county 3 but few are anxious to remain in ' the community. 3 The better class of people ? deplore the occurrences and until } now the matter lias been kept } quiet, but today the sheriff wired the governor for assistance, staI ting his inability to control the f situation. It is reported that > Gov. McSweeney will be here tomorrow with Attorney General Bellinger and some action will bo | taken. It does not seem to be the object of the gang to kill or seriously injure the negroes. They simply want them to leave . the community in order that the | lands may be rented by white 1 tenants. It is a fine farming section producing good crons but is thickly settled by negroes although the colored population was somewhat thinned out immediately after the election riots last November. The negroes are now very badly scared and the object of the whitecaps has been very nearly attained. This is the version of the story as gained from Greenwood men. I A large land owner of that secI tion told me to day that he had [ his negroes sleep in his barn for 1 protection and that the colored | population is terrorized. Two 1 hundred negroes from that vicinI ity spent Saturday aight in GreenJ wood to avoid the visitation of 1 the whitecaps. j The same masterly inactivity which characterized the sheriff's office in the November riots hangs ' over that office in this instance and nothing has yet been done, j .fas.
