Mercurial Rheumatism.

Mr.. J. C. Jones, city marshal Of Fulton,
Arkansas, writes: about ten years ago /
contracted a severe case Of blood poison.
Tie leading physicians of the city were
called in, and they prescribed medicine af-
ter medicine, which I took without afford
ing me any relief. also tried mercurial
and potash remedies, with the same nnsuc-
ccsstul result, but which brought on an at
tack of mcrcurial rheumatism that made my
life one OF untold agony. After suffering
for four years, I gave up all former rene
dies and commenced taking Swift's Specific
Is. S. s. After taking several bottles, l
was entirely cured and ;,Lle to resume work.
I consider Swift's Specific (S. $. s. the
greatest medicine for blood poisoning to-
day on the market.

The New York Herald says there is
no ooubt that since the election of
Mr.. Harrison the feeling between
white and black in the South has be-
come strained. Why? No one can tell;
at least no one has given an explana-
ton OF the curious fact that while un-
der MIR. Arthur and Mr.. Cleveland
there was a continuous growth of
good feeling, suddenly, in the present
year, all that previous years had done
seems to be undone.
It is stated that Judge Kershaw is
sued an order at the last term of court
in Barnwel!, ordering the Sheriff to
guard the jail. It is further stated that
the county commissioners refused to
pay these deputies. These prisoners
have been killed in consequence. Now
suppose the sheriff and county COM
missioners of Barnwell be arrested for
the killing of these prisoners? Such a
ce:rse seems just and proper. But
then, alas, suppose such was done. It
is not improbable that the lynchers
would be the jury, and of course moth
ing could be done.

A LUCKY ESCAPE.
ALL QUIET At MIDNIGHT.

At midnight to- might all is quiet
and peaceable and but few people are
on the streets. The vigilance commit
tee is out patrolling and no further
trouble is anticipated. The murder of
Hefernan by Ripley johnson, aided
by Mitchell Adams, in Barnwell, and
the killing of Martin, at Martins Sta
ton, by the suspected other six ne
groes who were lynched, is too well
known to the public for the particu-
lars to be repeated here. To sum up
the whole affair, the whites were get
ting tired of having negroes shooting
and killing whites without being pun
ished by the law. The continuance of
the trial of the Hefernan murderers
at the last term of Court has consider
ably aggravated the peop.e, and doubt
less led them to this revenge.
1t is impossible to find out who were
in the mob, and where theyEcame from.
The negroes here do not believe that
tie Barnwell people had hand in it
This wholesale massacre of to-day will
attract the attention of the whole coun-
try, and Barnwell's bloody record of
to-day las never been equalled. This
is the first lynching that has ever TAX
en- place in the county.

BARSwELL, December 2S.-Between
2 and 1 o'clock this morning, about
one hundred armed masked men
broke the county jail here and took
out eight negro prisoners, carried
them to the woods three-quarters of a
mile of, tied them to trees and shot
them to death. The negroes who were
killed are: Ripley Johnson, Mitchell
Adams, Judge Jones, Robt. Phoenix,
Hugh Furz, Harrison johnson, and
Ralph Moral.
THE JA1LoR's STORY.
How the prisoners were taken from
jail is best told by Jailor Nevills state
ment, which he gave to the News and
Courier tonight, as follows:
About 2.30 or 3 o'clock this morn
ing some one applied at the gate,
claiming to have a prisoner. I got up
and opened the window and asked
who was that. Some one in the crowd
said, "My name is Black, from Mar
tins Station, with prisoner" and
said s'come out and take him." told
them to hold on until I got ready. He
said he was in a hurry.about it. I told
him if he could not wait until [ got
outside to take him to go on with him.
I dressed quickly and went out as usu-
al to receive prisoner. I unlocked
the gate and as 1 opened the gate a
mob of masked men rushed in on me.
They demanded the prisoners from
Martins Station and then asked me
where they were. I told them they
were in jail They told me to 60 and
unlock the doors and point them out
to them. BY this time they took the
keys from me by forcing them out of
my hands, but told me to go and un-
lock the doors I told them I would
not, that they must unlock them them
selves as they had the keys. The
crowd then went to the door of the
jail with the keys and unlocked the
door and showed me in the jail ahead
OF them. AS L struck the second jail
gate which is of iron they told me to
take the keys and unlock it. I told
them 7 would not do it. They said if
I didn't unlock the door they would
shoot me, and drew pistols on me. I
told them I could not unlock that gate.
They then sent down to the yard for
an axe, and said if I did not open it
they would knock the whole id
thing open and let all the prisoners
out. Just before the crowd got to the
gate that leads to the cells and rooms
I told them if they were determined
to so into the jail to give me the keys
and I would unlock the gate, but ask
ed them not to turn out any prison
ers other !than those they wanted.
There were thirty prisoners in the jail
at the time.

THE BARNWELL LYNCHlNG.

The lynching OF the eight negroes
in the Barnwell Jail, presents, indie
pendent of the ghas5ly violation OF the
law, horrifying aspect to every man
who has aught of conscience about
him. The deed is done the negroes
have been hurled headlong into an
eternal he'll ; the murder of several
white men has been revenged ; the
poor, weak, impotent dignity of the
State has been trampled under foot :
but how about the lynchers? The
mingled curses and prayers OF the
victims; :aeir groans; their
tortuous writings, while tied
to the trees, with the loaded
guns and pistols only a few
feet from their bodies ; their death
struggles, and the hollow, dying, CUR
Cling sounds, will never, never be et-
faced from the memories of these
lynchers- It is not improbable that at
the first yolley some poor wretch was
not killed, and to end his suferings a
second volley was fred at him. These
memories will cling to every one OF
those lynchers, by day and by night.
But what was the Justification, the
evaporation? The case is not without
some merit. Prominent white citizens
had been killed, and less than ten days
before two white men had been assas-
sinated. If lynching is ever in such
eases justi6able, this was one OF the
cases. But the account says that they
lynched not only the accused murder
ers, but also two men who were charg-
ed as being witnesses only. That is
the worst feature in The whole case.
Who did it? About twenty-five men
from and near the town Of Barnwell.
We do not believe that there was any,
great multitude of horsemen, but only
. few determined men on foot who did
the deed. Who were they? Every
prominent man in the town Of Barn
we'll knows. The Governor has offered
a reward of 5000 for the conviction of
each one Of the lynchers. he will new
er have one cent of this reward to pay.
But the lynching will have its effect,
and murder in Barnwell will cease.
To that extent great good will be ac-
comphshed.
We are no apologist for lynch law,
but the actions, or rather inactions, OF
our juries, give cause for it. And
the same men who as jurors, would
periure themselves in bringing in
false verdict, would be the very ones
to head lynching party. Lynch law
means, and is an evidence OF, dis
trust in the administration of the stat
ute laws.

They were not suspended in the air,
however. Mitchell Adams was tied to
the post which marks the corporate
limits OF BarnwelI. Just to his right
his accomplice, Ripley johnson, was
fastened to tree. The Martin mur-

were arranged in line. Some of the ne
groes were old men, Moral possibly
being 60 years old, and Peter Bell was
about the same age. AS your CORES

What is ScrofuIa

1t is that iEpurity in the blood, which, accumu'
lating in the glands Of tho neck, produces un'
slightly Jumps or swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness CT deafness; which is the origin
Of pimrles, cancerous erowthS, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to "humors."
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the worst
possible features OF BOTH Being the most ancient,
it is the most general Of all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? BY taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some Of tss
cures it has effected are really wonderful If you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial.

A LAWYERS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Duncan Bellinger, who is one
of the attorneys for the defence of
Ripley and Adams, says that there is
now on the records of the Court at
Barnwell an order directing the Sheriff
to protect the jail. He said that, not
withstanding this, there was no guard
at the jail on Friday night. He fur
ther stated that it was well under.
stood that if the prisoners had been
taken out of jail for arraignment they
certainly would have been lynched.
Mr.. Bellipger further said that this
condition Of affairs was represented to
the presiding Judge (kershaw) in the
presence of the solicitor. That the
Judge appreciated the danger. That
an informal order was framed asking
for continuance, and that on that
paper the cases were continued. Mr..
Bellinger believes that the communi-
ty of Barnwell knew, or should have
known, that the prayer Of continuance
was not to defeat the ends of justice,
but in order that crime might not
be perpetrated, perhaps in the pres
ence of the Court. Judge kershaw is
reported as having said that if such a
thing should happen he would never
visit the county again. Mr.. Bellinger
said that originally an order had been
passed by the Court instructing the
Sheriff to guard the prisoners. After
the adjournment, when it was believ-
ed that all danger was removed, th
guards were withdrawn because the
county commissioners refused to pay
the sherif's deputized officers at the
jail A new order was then gotten out
instructing the sheriff again, but the
commissioners refused to pay the
deputies. It was an easy thing,
therefore, for the lynchers to enter on
Friday night. The responsibility for
the crime has, therefore, many pha-
ses; the intensified feeling against the
prisoners on account of the multipli-
cation of murders in the county the
withdrawal of the guards, and the be-
lief that justice would never be attain
ed. Whether any or all of these is a
justification is another question which
will probably be settled by public
opinion.

THE VICTIMS OF TIE MOE.

They themselves took the key, un-
locked the door, went into the jail and
took cut first Mitchell Adams, who
was charged with the murder of j. J..
Hefernan. Then three of them carried
out Judge Jones, Robt. Phoenix, Pc
ter Bell, Hugh Furz, Harrison John
son, and Ralph Moral, all colored.
Bell was charged with the murder Of
Robt. Martin, who was mysteriously
killed at Martins Station, S. c., last
Satur etay aS5-.-I 'uTZ was in for an
accessory to the killing, and Ralph
Moral and Robt. Phoenix were held
as witnesses, but supposed to have
been accessories to the crime. Judge
Jones and Harrison Johnson were held
as witnesses. The crowd next roped
the eight prisoners, brought them
down stairs and carried them out into
the streets and marched them through
the principal streets, compelling me to
go with them. We got seventy yards
across Turkey Creek, which is about a
quarter OF mile. They stayed there
some fifteen or twenty minutes, and
the crowd asked the prisoners good
many questions After talking to the
prisoners I heard the crowd say
"Well, kill them right here" I asked
the guard who had me in charge to
carry me back to the bridge, as I did
not want to see the negroes killed.
The crowd that had me said I should
not 90 back.
