SOUTHERN BARBARISM.

An Afro-American Burned to Death by a,
Mob of Anglo-Saxon Brutes.
New Orleans, La, May 3O.-(Special
to the Chicago Tribune 1.-The fact of a
lynching of Colored mani. Hampton
in Claiborne parish has been men.
toned by the press, but not until today
were the exact facts received by Gov:
Nichols The information from the
penitentiary officials is to the effect that
last year Hampton, who was resident
Of Claiborne parish, was suspected by
his white neighbors Of completely in a
hog stealing case, and they went in a
body one night to his house for the pur-
pose of correcting Or lynching him. He
warned them off from his house, and on
their persisting in the attack he shot
and killed one of the members Of the
party
This dispersed the crowd for the
night, but the next day Hampton was
arrested for the killing An attempt
was made to enter the Jail and lynch
him, but the plans of the mob were
thwarted by the prompt action of the
sheriff. Hampton got change of venue
and stood trial for the killing. and was
acquitted. He was Immediately re-
arrested for: hog-stealing, and fearing
that he would be lynched if he remained
in jail pending trial he pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to one year, and the
sheriff delivered him at the penitentiary
at once and the lynchers were again
prevented from doing any violence
The crowd was determined to avenge
the killing of their friend and waited
patiently until Hampton had served out
his sentence, when they had him
arrested on an affidavit sworn out before
a justice of the peace on the day of his
discharge. Upon his arrival in Claiborne
he was met by an armed mob who took
him from the constable and burned him
to death. The next day nothing could
be found of Hampton except heap Of
ashes and pair of burnt handouts.

FAREWELL VAIN WORLD. -.
Anderson Harris the Colored man
who killed 6. M. Lewis in Clinton, Miss,
October last was taken from this place
last week to the county Jail and hanged.
On the Goth of May in view of the fact
that Harris had but one day on earth,
there was several reporters there one of
whom was The APPEAL man. AsWe en-
tered his cell he was lying in his ham
mock reading small edition of the BIZ
BILE. He was asked several questions,
namely: Had he anything against the
Jailor. Sheriff, or Judge that sentenced
him? said that he did not, then, he
was asked if he remembered his situa-
ton, and was ready for sudden usher
ing into the presence ofthe great Judge.
he said he most assuredly was. He said
since his imprisonment he was satisfied
that he had the true religion and that
on tomorrow his liberated spirit would
fly into the arms of Jesus, and he would
dwell hereafter in peace and Happiness.
The next day he arose early knowing
this was positively his last day. He
prayed about 2 o'clock in the morning
for himself and the officers in particu-
lar. He drank a cup of coffee for break
fast and announced his readiness to 90
to glory. He was. taken from the iai!. at
8 O'Clock to Raymond not very far away
and at II O'clock there was estimated to
be 25,OOO people present. Harris said
he knew that he had found rest in the
endless blessed hereafter. At this hour
he was on the scafold singing the famil-
lar old hymn Drinking at the Beautiful
Pool" At 1905 the time was up and q
thousand eyes was sparkling with tears.
The hangman's rope was pulled and
poor Anderson Harris spirit took its
flight across the shadowy river into the
eternal world. Everything was done
very quietly and the culprlt died in Is
minutes without a single finch.

Mr.. Coppinger, secretary of the Amer
lean Colonization Society has returned
from New York where he wentl few
days ago to ship one hundred emigrants
to Liberia. The colonization society
has about. lost heart in it's effort to pop
ulate Liberia with American Colored
people since only about 800 are induced
every year to 60 and that hardly repays
for the labor.
Editor 7. Thomas Fortune 8 candidacy
for the Haytien Mission has been freely
discussed amongst the CoIored citizens
here the past week. Mr.. Fortune is in
deed well equipped for the post, and de-
serves it should it become vacant during
this administration. He is only opposed
by malicious and scowardly individuals
who generally play dog in the manger in
every possible instance.
According to order given by the secy.
OF war some time ago troop Of Colored
soldiers has been quartered at Fort
Myer. During the last Indian campaign
the Colored soldiers served SO meritor-
iously that it was then decided to re-
ward them by having troop brought to
this city. Troop e that led in the at
tack and rescue at Wounded Knee, is
the one that received this honor. The
boys are comfortably quartered and are
evidently apprecistive Of the honor thus
conferred on them. The white soldiers
are making the best Of the conditions
and no maledictions as yet have been
uttered against the Colored boys.
