V TWO NEOROES LYNCHED. Fate of Barawell Negroes Who Had Done Murder. Barnwell, Dec. 26.?On Thursday evening of last week Mr. Hayne S. ^ Craddock, of the Ulmer section, closed his commissary about 8 p. m., and took with him two negro men. who had lived on his plantation for many years, and walked over to see Frank DeLoach, a negro, who lives about one and a half miles off, to collect some money which ~VDeLoach owed him for ginning. When they reached the house they called De Loach out. When DeLoach came up to where Mr. Craddock was standing some words passed between them. Mr, Craddock then placed his hand in his collar, and DeLoach called to his son, John, to vbring his gun. John ran out with the gun, and when in about six feet of Mr. Craddock, fired, the load entering just below tho left shoulder, making a very ugly wound. Mr. Craddock lived but a ?-^khort time. Magistrate S. E. Ulmer had the ne groes arrested and locked up in a house on Mr. Craddock's place, thinking to keep them safe until the coroner could reach the scene and hold the inquest. A large crowd assembled at the residence of Mr. Craddock on Friday morning, and when everything seenvxl tc be calm, Magistrate Ulmer, but before the coroner and sheriff could reach the scene, a iarge crowd of enraged ard de ^termined men spirited the prisoners away, and before the sun went down they were found hanging to a tree, about one mile from Ray's Crossing, with many bullet holes in them. In the early morning, when the talk of lynching began, a great many of the level headed men advised against it, and it was finally thought that that course had been abandoned, but it m- proved later that it was only to get \ those opposed to it out of the way. V Mr. Hayne S. Craddock was one of the most influential and prosperous farmers of that section. MILLS PAY BACK TAXES. Council Had Exempted the Mills but Money Must be Paid. Spartanburg, Dec. 30.?The sum of $34,114.50, back taxes will be paid to the county treasurer by the Spartan mills within the very near future.? President Walter S. Montgomery of the mills, has announced his determina tion to pay this amount and there will be no further litigation in the case. This is the result of a suit brought by Abbott and Dilster against the Spartan ^ mills several years ago, through their ^attorneys, Sease & Hoke. The case went through the Circuit Courts and to j the Supreme Court for final settlement, und the verdict waa that the mills should p?y the taxer. The corporation's ground of contention was that the Spar tanburg city council had passed ordi nances exempting the mills from taxa- J tion for stipulated periods of time. When Spartan mill No. 1 was built the ^.ouncil exempted it from taxation for a "iJeriod of twelve years, and when No. 2 was erected an ordinance was passed freeing it from taxation for twenty years. The tax period due is from 1897 to 1902. Since 1902 the taxes of the two mills have been regularly paid. -?^Tliis is the largest amount ever paid in a lump sum by any corporation to the city, and perhaps it eclipses any sum paid by any corporation to any city in the state at one time. j?

The product in one day of the Long man & Martinez great works is enough to paint every house and everything made of wood in a city with the L. & M Paint. In use thirty years; several houses painted with L. & M. L. & M. costs about $1.20 per gallon. The L. & M. is the best and cheap est, because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens the L. & M. White Lead, and makes it paint more surfaco and wear a longer time than any other paint. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. It only requires 4 gallons of this cele brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at 60 cents per gallon to paint a moderate sized house. Therefore a property owner ought not pay $1.50 per gallon for Linseed Oil, which he must do when a ready-for-use paint is bought. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. W. L. Boyd, Laurens, S. C.
