when mile from Mcrna n crowd of ncr.
maps nifty men rode out from the side of
the road and demanded the prisoner. The
constable's party cant say whether thew
were white or black men, on account of
the darkness. The crowd frei pistols and
threatened the life of the constable if he
refused tog give up the prisoner The con-
stable complied and the crowd carried Shaw
oil. lie has no. been heard from since.
Some think he was hung and a place WAS
found in tho woods where there were signs
oi what taey suppose to be the execution.
Others believe that Shaw was whipped and
warned to leave the country: or Ii, NAV

the arrangements for the coming Political
campaign meetings to be held throughout
the State. And in the allotment ~
dates the Richland meeting to take
place in Columbia is fixed for the All.
of July. This was evidently done to fatse
the largest crowd Of workingmen possible IN
the endeavor to turn the meeting u Tlimin.
The C ,mmittee had its work all cut ami
dried and did not take it more than ten m;u-
utes or fifteen to do what it had TO do.
The following are the dates for holding the

LATEST FRoN LArRExs.-Laurens. s. G..
May 81 A gentleman who lives near
Merna was here to-day. lIo geys that there
IS considerable agitation among the negroes
over The supposed lynchng of Shaw, and
That they are securing the woods and creeks
in search of his body. No trouble between
the races is feared, but there is some danger
OF negroes stopping work.
At the spot in the woods where Shaw is
thought to have been lyncbed The ground
was packed Several h!ckories were Wing
around, ani there was evidence Of a Iope
being pulled across the limb of a Tree.
mere were traces of blood on the hickorics,
ana pool of bloc was found near by.
80 far as have learned the only circum-
stances leading to tho suspicion that Shaw
was implicated in the Hopkins burglary is
that scarcely any meat, flour, corn or pro-
visions Were found in H., house. and TINT he
made contradictory rta'emsnts IL was
supposed that he had concealed all he had
to avoid detection
One report is that Shaw confessed that he
committed the burglary, but this has not
oeen verified. Another rumor is that a
negro woman heard the blows when the
crowd were whipping Shaw; then heard a
single pistol shot and then n man scream
Many people believe that Shaw is still aliyc.
