Mother's Friend
is not a chance remedy. Its good effects
are readily experienced by all expectani
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed
the evnerimental staae. While it ?lw?v<
shortens labor and Tessens the pains ol
delivery, it is also of the greatest benefl
during the earlier months of pregnancy
Morning sickness and nervousness art
readily overcome, and the liniment relaxei
the strained muscles, permitting them t<

WHOLESALE WHIPPING IN
GREENWOOD COUNTY. , .
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,
