Some one was liable to be roo ov?sr at any

THE THOMPSON MUHDES
Hore Information Concerning the
Saturday Hight Killing.
It begins to look as if tbe evidence against
George Eliiott and Wallace Brown is becom
! i og stronger, and there seems to be more rea
I soo for the belief that they murdered Mingo
! Thompson. The latest information is fur?
nished by Mr. J. M Reames. On Saturday
night he was retuning home from this city
j in company with bis wife, and when be ar
; rived at tbe place where thc dead body of
! Mingo Tfcompson was found next morning be
! passed a wagon turned half around in the
! road. His horse shied as be passed the wagoo
\ sod caused him to observe it more particular?
ly than be would bave doue otherwise. Two
negro men were standing in the road by tbe
side of tbs wagon, and they were dressed as
Elliott and Brown were proven at the inquest
to have been dressed on Saturday night.
Sheriff Pierson arrested Jake Jackson on
Friday in consequence of information lodged
with him o the effect that Jtckson had made
statements that be knew wbo killed Mineo
Tboropsoo He was taken before Magistrate
Welts next morning and ?-xamir.ed. He de?
nied making the statements attributed to bim
and claimed to know nothing of the murder
except what bad been told him. He made
certain statements wbile under examination,
however, ?har were known to be false, and be
was remanded to j-u! until additional inform?
ation can be secured tn respect to th? state?
ments he has made.

LYNCHEES FOILED.
One Hundred Men Start to This
/ City for the Purpose of Lynch?
ing Charles Williams
Wheo W J Lee was brutally murdered by
Charle? Williams nu the night of NOT. 22d,
there wa? some talk of lynching the morder??,
bet Magistrate Scarborough, who held the
inquest, hurried him to this city and turned
bim over to Sheriff Pierson for safe keeping
in the jail Since that time rumors bare beer*
sfioftt that there existed a desire in some qcar?
ters to take tbe law into the bands of a mob
and dispose of Williams in a summary man?
ner. Not much attention was paid to the ru?
mors, as it was not thought probable that
auy crowd of men would be so rash as to
make tbe attempt to take Williams from the
jail.
On Saturday nigbt Sher:ff Pierson received
tbe following telegram :
Bisbopville, NOT 27 -Crowd hts jon left
here to lynch Charlie Williams.
JAS. H SCARBOROUGH,
Magistrate.
The telegram was placed in Sheriff Pierson's
hands at 8 SO p. m , and he decided that the
best thing to be dooe nuder tbe circumstances
would be to take Williams to Columbia on
the 9.10 train. To get the prisoner from the
the jail to the depot in time to take tbe train
required quick work, hut it was accomplished.
Williams is now in tbe Richland county jail
where he will be kept until there is no dan?
ger frr>m the .yncbers. Nothing was heard of
the lynching crowd on Saturday nigbt and it
was thought that they had abandoned the
purpose, bot Sunday Dich? a crowd of about
one hundred men assembled near DesCbamps'
mill pond and Bent ei:c men into town to re?
connoitre These mea learned that Williams
had been sent to Colombia, and wheo they
teported this fact the crowd dispersed. It is
stated by those who claim to b^ve reliable
information ?bat the rnnjority of ?be crowd o'
would be lynchers came from the eastern and
sooth eastern portion of th s county and from
Clarendon and Williamsburg counties and
that very few of them were from the Bishop
Tille section. This statement may or msy not
be correct, but there is no doubt about tbe
crowd baring come to the vicinity of thia
city with the ?vowed intention of storming
tbej*il and lynching Williams, and only the
timt-ly warning given Capt Pierson by Magis?
trate Scarborough nrevented serions trouble,
fur Williams would not have bean surren?
dered to the mob withDTt a struggle.

This is not aa uncommon case. Dyspeptics
don't get enough nourishment. They are
generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough Much of what they eat turns
