WILD ENGINE
CrusIles a Well Known Farmer
To Death.
Geo. w. Winfree Killed Saturday
forming at His Home
Near Casky.

Geo. w. Winfree, one of the best
known farmers in Christian county,
was the victim of a fatal accident
at six o'clock Saturday morning at
his home near Casky. He was
crushed to death while handling a
separator and traction engine.
While not instantly killed, he was
hurt in such a way that he died
within thirty minutes.
Mr.. Winfree and his brother Matt
Wlnfree bad been operating the
thresher for several weeks and on
Friday night Mr.. Winfree finished
his own crop. The engine was
pulled into the shed, but the sep
arator was left outside until the
next morning. Early Saturday
morning Mr.. Wrnfree tired up the
engine and with the assistance of a
negro boy named Hewdy Wagner
backed it out from under the long
shed in which the machine was
kept and started it towards the
separator to couple on to It and pull
it back into the shed, the threshing
season being over. Mr.. Wlnlree
was standing on the engine, which
was backing down upon the sep
arator. 1t began to go faster than
intended and threatened to become
unmanageable. Mr.. Winfree saw
it rapidly approaching the sePara-
tor table and realized that he was
in danger. He tried TO work the
brakes but failed to stop it and then
grabbed for the lever controlling
the throttle. In his excitement he
pulled it the wrong way and threw
the throttle wide open. With a
plung the engine shot against the
separator a few feet away. Then
was no way to dodge, no place to
Jump and nothing to prevent the
awful fate that befell him. He was
caught between the engine and the
separator and horribly crushed
about the chest. The negro boy
bravely ran to his assistance and
turned the lever back, causing
the engine to reverse. The helpless
body of the unfortunate man fell to
the ground and as soon as help
could be called was taken into the
house. Mr.. Winfree spoke once or
twice after reaching the house, try
ing to explain his injuries, but he
sank rapidly and died in half an
hour.
He was the third son of d family
of IA children, all of whom reached
He is the third to die.

daughters and three small sons.
He was born Sept, 7, 1847 and, was
in his SIND year.
The funeral services were held
afternoon and the burial
took place in the family graveyard
at his home. Mr.. Wintree was an
elder IN the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church and was a man of
and solid worth. His
untimely death was a shock to the
entire community in which he had
long been a leading citizen.

proved satisfactory for the chief
executive is looking around for
means to enable the number of
constables to be still further re.
duced.
With that end in view he has
written the mayors of cities and
towns asking them to use their
efforts to have the local police en-
force the dispensarY law. He has
also asked each of them to express
a candid opinion of his views in
regard to the enforcement of the

Monday night on the charge of

negro and gave the alarm before
he accomplished his purpose. She
called MIR Bates, but without
waiting for an interview the ne

ward Greenville. A crowd was
quickly formed to pursue the me-

SHERlFFS AND MAGIS~
TRATES.
Cautioned by the Governor as to
Dispensary Law.

In addition to the circular letter
which Governor McSweeney yes
terdsy addressed to the various
mayors of the state with reference
to the enforcement of the dlspen.
sary law, he has sent another to
sheriffs and magistrates as to their
duties. He calls attention to the
fact that since certain constables
are specially designated to see
that the law is enforced, other law
officers seemed to believe that
they had nothing especial to do
with the enforcement of this par
ticular. After advising them that
this is mistaken idea, be adds
that if he has "evidence that any
magistrate or consta ble is winking
at the violation of the dispensary
law and is not making proper eff
forts to bring to justice those who
violate it, | shall at once ask for
his resignation. l hope this will
not be necessary"

WHOLESALE WHIPPING
IN GREENWOOD COUNTY.
PeaCeable Negroes TerrOrized
by Bands of WhiteCapS.
The Governor Appealed to by
Sheriff Who Cant Preserve
Order in the County.
Special to The State.

Greenwood, Aug ia por-
tion OF this county between Green
wood and Phoenix has for more
than q week past been terrorized
by a gang of so>called whitecaps
engaged in whipping negroes.
The whitecaps began Monday
night week ago and entered the
houses of several negroes who
were taken out and whipped.
Since then this performance has
been several times repeated and
the negroes are badly frightened.
The object of the white caps is to
drive off negro tenants in order
to secure control at low prices of
valuable farm lands in that sec
ton much of which is rented to
negroes by the white landlords.
There is no political foundation
for the troubles and the Offenders
are said to belong to a low class
of whites. The negroes have
taken to the woods and swamps
at night to avoid the visitation of
the gang and many of the colored
people have come to Greenwood,
some of them bringing all their
possessions and refusing to 90
back home. Inoffenslve negroes
are said to have been whipped and
they have told of their troubles
to white friends here but are
afraid to talk openly. So far as
known none have left this county
but few are anxious to remain in
the community.
The better class of people de-
plore the occurrences and until
now the matter has been kept
quiet, but today the sheriff wired
the governor for assistance, stat
ing his inability to control the
situation. 1t is reported that
Gov McSweeney will be here to-
morrow with Attorney General
Bellinger and some action will be
taken.
1t does not seem to be the OBJ
ject of the gang to kill or serious
ly injure the negroes. They sim
ply want them to leave the COM
munity in order that the lands
may be rented by white tenants.
1t is fine farming section pro-
ducing good crops but is thickIy
settled by negroes although the
colored population was somewhat
tbinned out Immediately after the
election riots last Noyem ber. The
negroes are now very badly scared
and the object of the whitecaps
has been very nearly attained.
This is the version of the story as
gained from Greenwood men.
A large land owner of that
section told me today that he had
his negroes sleep in his barn for
protection and that tho colored
population is terrorized. Two
hundred negroes from that vicini-
ty spent Saturday night in Green
wood to avoid the visitation of
the whitecaps.
The same mastery inactivity
which characterized the sheriff 9
Office in the November riots hangs
over that Office in this instance
and nothing has yet been done.
