MURDERED.
Rufus Salter, Negro Farmer, shot
Dead in His Door by a Gang
of Whites.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Spartanburg, Jan S-Nsws was
received hero today OF the murder
of = negro named Rufus Salter by
u mob Of white men near West
Springs, IN Union county. For
the past several days the neigh
5orhood of West Springs has been
visited 10y a number OF very de-
structlve flies, supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. Last
Wednesday night the barn Of Mr..
Marion Sumpter was burned to
the ground. All Of his stock
consisting of a horse, mule and
milch we're lost, as we'll as
a considerable amount of corn and
fodder.
Mr.. Sanford Wellborn who
lives about seven miles from West
Springs, 2woke last Friday night
to find his barn in flames. This
building was soon consumed with
everything it contained, which
consisted Of two horses, COW and
a crib full of corn. Saturday
night Mr.. Sam Fosters store st
West Springs was destroyed by
fire.
After this last mentioned fire
suspicion began to point strongly
to Rufus SsIter, a negro farmer,
who lived on Mr. William Smiths
place.
Early Sunday morning a mob
OF whlte mon, having obtained
information leading them to be-
lievs that Salter was responsible
for the outrages, visited the me-
gros house Salter hearing them
outside came to the door with 4
pistol in his hand and it is said
opened FIRE ,on the mob. After
firing one or two shots, he threw
up his hands and fell to the floor,
shot through the heart by . rifle
ball. The mob then withdrew
and disbanded without their identi-
ty having been discovered by any
one outside of their owa party.

One of the largest firms at Bar Har
Dor, whose name was not given out, il
was reported had signed an agreement
with it's men granting the eight-houl
day at a minimum rate of 35 cents ar
hour.
The other was at Stony Brook,
Conn. There it was stated the Nor.
cross firm had granted the eight-houl
day and 35 cents minimum wages.
This firm the other day made an
agreement with the local union for d
33 cent minimum wage. National
Secretary Duncan, acting on orders of
the national officers, notified the Stony
Brook union that the national body
would not sanction nor agree to its
concession for 33 cents. AS a conse-
quence the first agreement was de-
clared null, and after explanations and
further discussions Mr.. Norcross, it is
said conceded 35 cents per hour and
eight hours.
