A NEGRO OUTLAW LYNCHED AFTER A
CONFESSION OF VARIOUS CRIMES.

NEGRO OUTLAW LYNCHED AFTER A
CONFESSION OF VARIOUS CRIMES.
CHARLESTON, s. g., March 2.-On
Saturday last one-armed negro, named
Louis Kinder, committed an outrageous
assault upon white woman named
Byrd, residing near Georges Station,
Colleton county, about fifty miles from
tits city. A hunt was organized and the
villain captured about four O'Clock on
Sunday morning by a mixed white and
black posse. He was taken to the scene
of the outrage and identified by his VIC
tim. A vote of the posse was taken and
it was decided not to lynch him but to
allow the law to take its course. Kinder
was then taken to Georges Station and
placed IN the guard house under a strong
guard. On Monday morning he was
sent to Walterboro to Jail, still strongly
guarded. On their way to W alterboro
the guard were overpowered by an arm
ed force, consisting, it is said, largely of
the relatives of the outraged lady, and
the prisoner was conveyed to a secluded
spot in the woods, where he was kept
till night. About 8 o'clock last night
he was again confronted with the lady
whom he had outraged and again identi-
fed. He was again taken to the woods,
where preparations were made to hang
him. At the last moment he confessed
the crime, and also confessed to a SINH
lar outrage upon colored woman, in
Newberry, six years ago. He further
acknowledged the killing of colored
girl, near Kings Tree, last April, and
confessed to four burglaries and innum-
erable Lhefts At 1910 O'clock he was
hanged, and after firing a volley of pis-
tol shots into the, body the crowd quiet
ly dispersed.
Kinder was dangerous outlaw, who
for over year had been the terror of the
neighborhood on which he preyed, and
the action Of the vigilants is heartily in-
dorsed by both the white and the color
ed residents of the vicinity.

particularly in New York, Indiana

south, Dorsey replied Every south

either casting the most votes for the
party, or by the democrats doing the
most counting. One or the other of
these casuses will result in the electo.

The e%ver-recurring fear that "the
end of the world" and the day of
judgment was at hand, was, in all pro-
liability, the origin of Free Masonry.
1t happened that in the year of our
Lord 1000, the wild lawlessness, rapine
and bloodshed Of the day was sudden
ly checked with this millenial panic.
The world was to come to an end that
year. The doughty baron laid aside
Eis brand and took to his prayers:
others did penance by fasting; others
made long and dangerous pilgrimages
to Palestine, as expiation for their
crimes. By these and similar extra
ordinary efforts it was believed that
the wrath of God vas temporarily
ayerted. There followed this panic
three or four centuries of religious
fervor, in which church building pro-
crossed, and religious orders were in
stituted. Of purely religious form
were the Augustinian monks, founded
A. d. 1861; the Gilbertines, for men
and women, in 1l8O; the Cistercians
and Benedictines and others which
tiourished, held vast possessions in

Hints for Campaign Pufra.
New YOrk Herald.l

New York Herald.l
Although it is hardly fair to sus-
pect hat both parties are not doing
their best with the means at their dis
posal it is useless to deny that up to
date the quantity and quality of cam
paign lies have not been equal to the
demand. This may in one way be
complimentary to the distinguished
candidates and the political bodies
that put them in nomination, but it is
very depressing to the spirits of the
campaigners. As, however, in all
warfare it is profitable to strengthen
defensive lines while active warfare
cannot be INDUCED in, we respectfully
suggest a few hints toward staying the
souls of the would-be combatants,
and, as fair play is a jewel, we diStri-
butte them evenly between the two
sides.
The portrait of Lafayette, which
has long accumulated dust in the
house of representatives, is to be
cleaned, and Garfield deserves all the
credit for it. There it had been for
years as shabby in appearance as one
of last campaigns banners, but when
a gentleman called attention to its
condition Garfield stood right up at
his desk as if he was not afraid of any
body and demanded that the picture
should be made as good as new. There
were men in that house at the time
who knew nothing about Lafayette
and cared less; there were other men
who prOfessed to be watchdogs of the
treasury, but Garfield never hinched,
aud the necessary appropriation was
voted.

New York polls more democratic

York also does more business than
any of her competitors. 1t is there

a business boom that every man could
afford to start a bank on his own ac-

Watermelons are numerous and
cheap, and at this season all of them
come from the south. If the republi-

A Candidates Mysterious Birth.
Brooklyn Eagle.l

General Chester A. Arthur, the re-
publican candidate for the vice-presi-
dency. cannot dispel the clouds Of mys-
terry that now overhang his birthplace,
without discovering to a disgrsted
party the fact that he was born upon
foreign shores, and is, therefore, incl
igible to the Office for which he is now
soliciting votes. This appears like a
oold statement, and is one that should
not be made unless it was susceptible
Of proof. The source of information
on this topic is a gentleman who as.
sures the reporter of the Eagle that
in less than ten days he will lay such
afidavits, certificates and proofs be-
fore the republican national commit
tee as will compel the party to with
draw their candidate tor the second
office OF government from the field.
Of his ability to do this he has not
the slightest doubt. He will not ad-
nit that there is a doubt in the ques-
ton. He says that he has been labor
ing upon this question ever since the
nomination was made, and he is but
now awaiting the arrival of come doc
uments which will give the confrma,
tory proof Of his statement. In an
swer to the question as to what he
thought about the statements of Ar
thur, in a public interview, he said
that he did not care what Gen. Arthur
said. Certain facts were known that
could not be controverted.
