INCIDENTS IN THE SOUTH RECALLED BT AN
AGED SOUTH cARoLINIAN

AGED SOUTH cAROLINIAN
Columbia. s c. Aug. ) tspeciaD-The random
recollections" Of Edwin J Scott dating back ninety
years. embrace many facts now OF peculiar inter-
est Alr. Scott came Columbia q child II 1872.
Within the last month there have been seventeen
men tried for murder in Greenville. Spartanburg
and Richland counties. and not one conviction.
Seventeen uler had been killed. and in almost every
case the killing admitted by the defendant.
The severity OF the law in earlier days is recited by
Mr.. Scott, who. in 1916, saw the deputy sheriff
brand white both cheeks with q hot iron
and then cut off his ears with dull knife for
theft; years later he saw a white man, convicted
OF horse stealing, publicly whipped his bare back
on four successive sale days
Henry shutz. Of Hamburg-on-th estab-
lished the town Of Hamburg the Carolina side
Of the Savannah River. opposite Augusta, and be-
came Mayor when the town incorporated in
1892 He narrowly escaped hanging because he
caused young man. suspected Of stealing trunk,
TO be so severely whipped that he died. At his
death shutz left his large interest in the Augusta
Bridge, crossing Savannah River. 10 two friends
named Jones and Kennedy. They invoked and OBJ
tanned from the Legislature Of this State the right
OF eminent domain in the Carolina half Of the
bridge with the privilege of erecting a tolgate.
The president of the bridge company in Augusta
trained cannon on the tollgate TO demolsh It,
whereupon TWO old cannon the heights Of Ham
burg, commanding the city Of Augusta were loaded
This caused an application from Augusta for an
arT1lsJice, mediation followed, and peace was re-
stored by the Augusta people paying the Shutz
heirs $4,000 for their interest in the bridge;
Speaking Of the slave trade Mr.. Scott describes
tne arrival CT several cargoes q negroes geneIaiI
slender in form and very active Their love of
Africans would stand with his head against post
or wall and let strong man strike him in the
lIr. Scott remembers when Colonel Wade Hamp-
