AND WHY THEY TOOK THK LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. Kditars LaureiUvitlt Herald: As Mr. J. S. bTalock has published a card in the Advertiser over his own sig nature, in regard to the negro-whipping near Hopewell, not long since, it is now necessary that the public be made ac quainted with all the facts in the case, as well as a short history of the organiza tion of what is known outside of this com munity as "The Regulators," and why such an organization was made neces sary. In May, 1SS9, the citizens of Hope well and surrounding country called a public meeting of the citizens of this community for the purpose of disapprov ing or condemning the miscegenation which some of our citizens were known to be guilty of, and which immoral prac tice existed to the shame and detriment of our neighborhood. The matter was freely and frankly discussed, and every man present pledged himself to do all in his power to put down such revolting Immorality as then existed. The object of the meeting having been made known some of the parties who were known to be guilty, at once began to make threats against the lives and property of some of those who participated in the meeting, and so general ami ominous did these threats become that the citizens gener ally, in the neighborhood, lost no time in banding themselves for their mutual pro tection in a society known as "The Pro tective League." Mr. N. P. Whltmlre was the President, and Mr. D. R. Craw ford the Secretary of this organization. Immediately following these threats against our lives and property the valu able barn of Mr. W. II. Workman, who was accused of being one of the leading spirits in the former meeting, was burn ed to the ground, totally destroying a quantity of corn, fodder, (arming tools, harness, etc. In September following, the dwelling of Mr. X. P. Whitmire, to gether with all of its contents, was also laid in ashes. On Januar}' following,the store houses of Messrs. 1). R. Crawford, John S. llairston and J. II. Crisp were burned. On May the 8th, eight bales of cotton belonging to Mr. llairston were also burned ; and about the middle of last August eight more bales were fired. This last lire, and the circumstances attending it, was the cause of the whip ping of the negro Wyatt James. James, who was under contract with Mr. llairs ton, had left his premises a few days be fore without any known cause, and wns working for another party in the neigh borhood. On the night of the tiring of the cotton, however, Mrs. llairston, on discovering the burning cotton, called for the hands on the place, anil perceiving a man walking through the yard, (al though it was late in the night) she called to him, and asked if it was not Wyatt. He answered that it was, but did not stop, nor did he respond to the call for assistance in lighting the lire. Another negro man was sent to a negro woman's cabin on the place (Mrs. llairston sus pecting that the negro who bad answered her w as perhapsSOtneOther negro) where James was known to be in the habit of sleeping, but on calling for him the wo man saiil that he was not in the house, as he hail left early in the night. Suspicion naturally attached to James as the incen diary, and the other negroes on the place who responded to Mrs. llairston's calls for help were so impressed with the sus picious actions of James that they told Mr. llairston they believed he had done the burning. Early next morning James came to the house and saiil to Mr. llairs ton that he had heard it saiil that he had been accused of the burning, which he denied. On Mr. llairston's asking him as to his whereabouts on the night be fore, he replied that he was in the ne gro woman's house and didn't know any thing about the lire. lie denied doing the burning, but added: "The man what burnt dat cotton is got more money than yoi is, Mr. llairston, or me either." These were the circumstances which led to the whipping of the negro Wyatt James, under the belief that if be himself did not do the burning he at least knew who was the real incendiary or instiga tor. The threats that were fust made against our lives and property have al ready been put into execution to the ex tent of burning five buildings and ten or twelve bales of cotton. Our Protective League is composed of the best citizens in our community, and forty-five or fifty persons. And while we have as high regard for the maintenance of law and order as any other vicinity, the teiliousness and "glorious uncertainty of the law" make it imperative, for the sanctity of our homes and the preserva tion of our lives and property, that wc band ourselves together for our mutual protection. These are the particulars of the whipping of Wyatt James, and with this we commit our action to the consid erate and thoughtful judgment of our fel low-citizens. J. A. SMITH, J. I). HAIR8T0N. Goldvllle, Sept. 15, 1891. The New Dictionary. The answer of the publishers of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to the attompt of pirates to steal their thunder by issuing cheap phototype reproductions of tho an tiquated edition of 1817, is the pub lication of a now und completely re-edited and enlarged edition of tho authentic Unabridged, which as a distinguishing title- hears tho name of International. The publishers have expended in the last ten years over $300,000 in tho preparation of this new book before issuing tho llrstcopy, and tho improvements of tho various editions since that of 1818 havd cost ovor three-fourths of a million of dollars for editing, Illustrating, type-setting and eleeirotyping alone, Tho now Dictionary Is tho best book of its kind in the English lan guage, It milpcks mysteries, re. solves doubts, and decides disputes, The pessossion of It and the habit of consulting it will tend to pro mote knowledge, literary tusto end social refinement.
