THE ANTI-LYNGH LAW
A South Carolina Jury Brings in a
Verdict for the County

Charleston, S. c., September 27.-The
anti-lynching law of this state, max
ing the county responsible for dam
ages to the family of the victim, has
received another black eye. On jan
larry 4, 1897, Isaac Brown, a negro,
was found hanging to the railroad
crossing at S%tillton, Orangeburg coun-
ty, his neck broken ard his body rid
died with bullets. Browns father
brought suit against the county for
damages last year, but the jury
promptly brought in a verdict for the
county. The verdict was set aside by
Judge Gage, and another trial of the
same cas- has been had this week and
another verdict rendered for the coun-
ty Of Orangeburg.
The defense offered no testimony, re-
lying upon the failure to prove a lynch
ing, which thy contended required the
concurrence of a mob or a multitude OF
persons. Buchanan, the presiding
judge, charged the jury hat a lynch
ing might be committed by a mob or
by any person or persons, but the
charge appear to have had no effect on
the jury. A motion for a new trial
will be made.

INDICTED FOR PERJURY
Wake Grand Jury Find a True Bill
Against Ex-senator Franks of Swain
County.
Especial to The MeSSenger.)

Special to The MeSSenger.)
Raleigh. n. c., September 27.-The
grand jury of the superior court here
today returned a true bill against ex-
State senator j. A. Franks, of Swain
county, for perjury. The case is a
sensational one. Franks is a republi-
can and was a member of the state
board of elections. Two years ago a
man named George w. Justice came
here from ASheville, as a lawyer, stole
a number of law books from the court
house and other buildings, and was
arrested or the charge of larceny.
Franks became his surety, giving a
justified bond for $50 and swearing he
was worth hat much in excess of all
Indebtedness. Justice fled the state and
Went to Alabama, FORGETTING his bail.
An execution sent to Swain county for
the amount of Franks surety was re-
turned with the statement hat he was
worth nothing. The bill against him
which the grand jury today returned
as true was drawn last July. All eff
forts to induce the authorities of Ala
bama to arrest Justice have failed.

pounds for picking cotton and negro
aborers have quit the railroads to
work for the higher wages in the field.
