T SUBSTITUTE FOR LYNCHINGS, THE FIRST s1PEOIAL COUKr HELD IN FLOR ICNuE. It Answered Its Object Very Well-Only the Offcers of the Court and the Necessary Witnesses were P esent During the Ex. aminnatfon of the Witnesses for the State-The Negro, who was on Trial for thettiost HeiuusVrtmeKnn,wn to the Law, had Made a Full Confesaon and Uouusel Of fored no Evidence- Is Co - viotlon was 8pPody andi he was tentesncad to be Ilanged on Ap,Il 25th. (Special to News and Courier.] Florence, March 31.--On March 5, Julius Gibbes, a negro man, about 20 years old, was arrested in this county, chi rged with rape. His victim was Mrs. Daisy Lee Haynes, wife of a wall known and respectable farmer, residing about twenty miles from this town. A ljuching - was narrowly averted, the details of which are well known. The special term of Court ordered for the trial, Judge Purdy presiding, met prompt ly at 10 o'clock this morning. Solic itor Wilson was at his post of duty also and all technical preliminaries received careful consideration in or ganizing the Court. Florence Court House has never held such a crowd as was within its walls today. Old, young, whi: and black, all callings, including several ministers, were present, and the crowd was so large that Court offi cials had much difficulty in moving around in the discharge of their duties. The behavior of the crowd was such as usually marks our im portant occarins, the interest shown being almost intense. This was the first legal trial for such a crime in Florence County, a cou nty where the first execution will take place on April 25, when Julius Gibbes will ex piate on the gallows the terrible crime of rape. Absolute silence attended all the preliminaries, a silence that became dramatic when Solicitor Wilson asked Sheriff Burch to "bring in the ladies." They came as soon as pass age way could be made, Mrs. Haynes acco' ipained by her mother in-la-" faced, aged lady in b' ' juncture their pres enc' V ;sary only a few mo ments, w1,. they retired, to appear again when they had to testify. Judge Purdy then charged the grand jury, and his charge, while very brief and specilic, covered all points and left nothing to be misun derstood. The indictmnent wvas handed to the .jury which retired and re t,urned with a true bill in twenty minutes. Then Julius GJihbes, handcuffed and with his hat on, wats put ini the dock. He is an. ordinary looking, black negro, and the sterun faces by which he was suirrounded p)itilessly reflected the hopelessness d1epicted 'upon his own conntenance. HeI looked like a drowsy man and seemed to 1be almost in a semi-conscious condition. 'When he had to say something his trembling lips continued to move after his words ceased to be audible. Nothing aroused him and be moved to his doom like a sleepy animal. Messrs. Wilcox & Wilcox were re quested by Judge Purdy to dlefond the prisoner, wvho had no counsel. Mr. P. A. Wilcox, in accepting t he disagreeable duty, remfarkedl that a request from his Honor was equiva lent to a command. Later he asked for assistance and Mr. Ship was re quested to assist in the defence, and for an hour thess attorneys con sulted with the prisoner. Then a jury was empanelled, being sworn on their voir dire, after which a recess was ordered until 8 o'clock to allow further consultation with the pris oner. At this hour the trial was re sumed. Solicitor WVilson, counsel for the defence concurring, asked that the house be,vacated by all but wit nesses and oflicersi of the Court. Judge Purdy answered that he knew only a request would b)e necessary, and in a few minutes only vacant seats were -Been. The evidence against the poor wretch was simply over whelming, including a free con fession to the prisoner's father, made in the sheriff's presene. The de fence had no witnesses, so counse stated. Solicitor Wi.son made brief but spirited address to th jury and was followed by fearless re marks from Mr'. Wilcox, who wit his colleagues, ably disoharged thei duty. Judge Purdy's charge to th jury was a model of absolute fair noes and impartiality. There coul be no doubt of the prisoner's gui) and the jury returned a verdict c guilty in a few minutes. The prisoner was sentenced to b hanged on Friday, April 25, an when his doom was spoken he san to the floor gasping and terror stricken. The jury was compose wholly of intelligent white imen an the entire conuIct of the case wa admirable. Judge Purdy requeste that the audience maintain its goo behavior and make no demonstratio when the verdict was anncunced but had to suppress a rising demon stration -just prior- to adjournment He also firmly commended the mel of the county for their fine tribute t the power of the law. Many ex pressions of opinion were heard dur ing the day from law abiding citi zens regarding the advisability a this first special Court held in Sout) Carolina to punish the crime o rape. The conduct of the Court wa perfect, everything was done ii order, every technicality met prope observance and the. law was vindi cated. For a woman to have to tea tify in such circumstances is a fright ful ordeal. It is a hard remedy fo lawlessness; it is a bitter path t justice that forces a woman to fac all that involves testifying in such cawe. This was heard on every aid in spite of the great consideratioi shown by all concerned in the tria here today. CAROLIN&HMiRIFFM HONORINO TH] STATIC. Shorifl 1)ouglans of Chcaternled Does ili Duty Bravely- tnd Mob, As Usual, Slinks Away. [Special to The State.] Cheraw, March 31.-We had wha is thought to be the nearest approacl to a lynching last night at Chester field 0. H. that has ever occurred it the county. The negro, Will Brewer who killed Mr. Mann at iornsborc in January, and who has been a large since, was captured by Sherifl Douglass last Saturday at Nathvillo Ga., and brought back to our coun ty for trial. Last night Sherifl Douglass got wind of a report that i posse of men from the upper part o the county' were going to take Brewe out of jail. He placed six men il jail and waited to sue if there wva any truth in the report. About 1( o'clock 00 or 70 men, some of then masked, arrived at the court house Several representatives went to th jail door and demanded the keyn Sheriff Douglass met themn and re fusua to deliver them. He orderei the men to leave at once or he woul< have to kill them. They withdres from the door, but quite a numbe came into the jail yard. The sheril then raised a window and ordere them to leave or he would have t fire on them. After consultatio they withdrew and the affair ende without loodshed. The men wer orderly and quiet, but seemed detei mined. M!ot her. [Southern Farm Magazine for April.

C., March 17, 1002. Mr. Editor: Permit me through the columns of your valuable paper to endorse the candidacy of the Hon - t orable Wyatt Aiken for congress from f this, the third district, in the com ing democratic primary. Perpetuat ing as he does the good name of his illustrious father, illustrating also that faithful devotion to duty which characterized his sire, he needs no introduction at my hands to the peo ple of this county. My only apology for attempting to point to his clean record and his fitness for congros sional honors shall be that his own z tongue, unlike that of the small po litician of the day, disdains to pro claim in blatant tones the lavish paeans of self praise. All honor to 1 his modest, honest soul; for, scorn ing the petty deceits and the wiles of the political mystic maze, he pre fers rather to make his race a race on issues than one appealing to the pas f sions of partisans, to personal or hereditary friendships, or to his own f magnetic, magnanimous personality. I shall then not trangress upon his prerogative to present the issues r upon which he will wage his battle royal but shall direct attention more especially to his record as a private man. r He was reared on a farm in Abbe ville (now Greenwood) county and as a farmer was always successful. His talents however called him into anl th'r profession in which it was his pleasure to remain in close, con fidential elbow-touch with his former fellow-tillers of the soil. His deep interest in their welfare was mani fested at all times in a practical manner so that none ever doubted his sincerity nor ever questioned the gen uineness of his interest. For him politics had no charm, he sought no personal aggrandizement, he had no desire for political preferment, but t by his merit he was called to act as official court stenographer eighteen years ago and has since then filled the position with honor and credit to himself and with eminent satisfac tion to the olicials of the court and to the public. His uniform courtesy to all, regardless of caste or fortune, have wc.n for him, during the continuous itinerary of eighteen years, golden opinions in the minds of hundreds who wvill he delighted to honor him with their ballets. The race for con gress is not by any means of his own choosing, for he has heretofore re sisted the urgent appeals made by his friends to allow the use of his namne b)ut the pressure became too strong, its spontaneity became too evident and he wvas swept into the race in spite of himself. Now that -he has accepted the standard, he will make an aggressive race snd a win 1. ning race. Not alone in private life has he r served his country but true to his heroic nature and patriotic soul he volunteered in the Spanish war as a private and shouldered his musket as a member of the Abbeville military company, in which capacity he served in the First S. (1. V. I. Rtegimnent one ~ month, when for meritorious services he was promoted to Battalion Adju tant. D)uring the whole of [is ser vice he was Acting Regimenta1 Quar. ] termnaster and it is worthy of note I that his accounts with the govern a ment, involving over $100,000, , checked out to a cent. Here, as in e every other capacity, he served with -equal satisfaction toJ officers and men -anid I-ere also he endeared himself to I all with whom he camne in contact -1by his b)ig-hlearted generosity and( r thoughtfulness of the comfort of tihe o sick. I refer to this at risk of his dis *r pleasure, for I amn aware as are those n who witnessed and were the re -cipients of his knightly treatment, n thbat it was his desire that his name d should not be known in connection s wvithi his generous acts, but in his d own unostentations way "Hle (lid good by stealt.h And blushed to find it, fame."' n 'Many a poor, sick soldier owes his i- life to this benefactor for taking him from the hospital, sending him home at his own expense and taking the risk of securing his furlough after he wassafe at home. He is especially a friend to the young men of the district, he having secured employment for a larger number of young men than any man in this district, barring, of course, members of congress. This is a fact not generally known but one that can easily be verifiod by a search of the record. This is a splendid trib ute to his popularity and iniluence and is mentioned merely to show the influence he would weild in our na tional-law making body. He is pub. lie spirited and looks with zealous pride upon the advancement of his native country. In his own town he is regarded as a safe, conservative counsellor in the matter of internal improvements and it is by his efforts that the cotton mill, water works and telephone system of his town were established upon a paying and satisfactory basis. He is recognized as a prudent financier and as a close student of all economics. Hhi is well versei in the great public questions from a statistical and logical point of view and with his quick mind and ready tongue, with his knowledge of legislative procedure and congres sional precedent, with his close as sociation with the people of his dis trict for the past eighteen years and a consequent knowledge of their needs he will make us a model con gressman and one that we ineod not be ashamed to continue in oflice. V. 13. C. sPEUFi,i, 'TERMs OF (OUl0(T. No Lose Thatn Seven iave Now Mien Or tered-Nwbterry',+( Itc'n'st Withtrttwn. (Jolumbia, March 25 -The cus tom of calling special and extra terms of court is growing. The complaint is made that the dockets in the va rious counties are got ting so badly crowded that soiething has to be done to relieve the congestion. The special terms of court oiler excellent opportunities for the various counties to get rid of the alleged piling up of litigation, and the only trouble is that too often the lawyers report that they are not ready to have their causes tried, and in that way, while the dockets look badly crowded, the lawyers allow nothing to be done, and it only remains for the judges to insist upon trials or dismissals. The following special terms of court have been ordered within the last few week: General Sessions for Union coui ty, J1. H. Hudson, special judge, March 31, for ten days. Common lens for B3arnwvell, WV. C. Benet, speial judlge, April 28, for three wveeks. General Sessions for Florence, Rt. 0. Purdy, special judge, March 31. General Sessions for Laurens county, RI. 0. Puirdy, special juedge, second Monday in April for ten days. General Sessions for G reenvillo county, Jas. P. Carey, special judge, April .14, for two weeks. Common Pleas for Newborry counm ty, WV. F. Stevonson, ispoeial judge, April 21, for ten (lays. Common Pleas for Kershaw coun ty, special juidge to be named, first Monday in July for ten (lays. This p)rovidles for sovonm extra terms of the court, wvhich thle local bars have (teemed necessary and ex pedient. Th'le genieral alssemlbly has never made any sp)ecial ap)prop)riat ion for the pay of the judlges who hold these special terms of court, and1( they have always b)een regularly paid out of the contingent fun,d. It will be seen that the special courts that have al ready beenI ordoeredI call for seventy aine (lays, and1( one term is left. open1 as to thme number of days.

We wore nearly all barefooted and with out suflicient olothing. Finally the railroad from Virginia was repaired, and we got fairly shod and clothed. Here some more soldiers were shot. W(o kept up our drilling and guard duty. During the winter we took one tramp. We went to Dandridge, distant from Russellville about 30 miles. I was detailed to carry the colors on this trip. In the early spring we moved to New Market nearer Knoxville. We subsisted dur ing the winter from the country. We usually had meat plenty but bread n as scarce. We finally moved back to Bull's Gap and then back to Green ville. Here we wore paid off, and I never saw as much gambling any where. Then we took up the march to Bristol. Here our rations were scant indeed and of the poorest quail ity. The broad consisted of what was called "Tax in Kind," wheat., oats and chaf were ground up with. out bolting; we were only given tlhree.quarters of a pound per day of such stiull'. I have sat down and eaten what was issued for three (lays at one meal, and then depended on what could be picked up. On this trip some soldier stole from me about li lus. of flour. At Bristol some of the troops charged the commissary house, and a few were shot, but the boys got away with a good deal of flour. We took the train at Bristol for Lynchburg. It was about the middle of April, but there wore snow showers all day. After spending a (lily or two at Lynchburg we took train for (Jbarlottsville. Here we quit the train and marched to Gor donsville. I-lore were great religious ieetingc-preaching every day and night,. The 3d regiment had less preaching than any regiment that I know of. While in Columbia Uncle Dicky Woodruff preached soen for us. Vhen we went to Virginia a Bap tist minister of the Redy River As socia'on was appointed chaplain; he preached two or three times dur ing the time lie was with us; his greatest oemploymeti was bringing whiskey for the oflicers; after that our regiment had no chaplain and we called it a good riddance; but other regiients had fine proachers, but the Mississippi brigadle had the best. chaplains ini the army; they lived with the p)rivates, took the same fare and preaiched at every opportunity.
