Latter,s Infatuated Neighbors.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. Dec. GA spe-
cial to the News and Courier from Green
wood. S. c., says:
w. Il. Jay, a prominent young farmer
OF the Troy section of this county. was
fcully murdered in his own yard by
negro. Oliver Wideman, or his wife. both
of them living on the place Both of the
negroes were lynched by Jays Infatuated
neighbors. Mr.. Jay on returning home
on Friday afternoon. heard Wideman
abusing or fighting his CWideman's) wife.
He went to the cabin and ordered the
negroes to be quiet. Immediately after
ward. Mrs. Jay heard the report of a
gun and saw the two negroes running
away. Calling for her husband. she re-
ceived no answer. and looking over the
yard found him dead, in a pool Of his
cwn blood. Almost his entire head had
been blown off.
An alarm was given, and parties were
soon securing the country in pursuit of
the negroes. They were captured. Be-
fore the coroner's inquest both acknow-
lodged the deed, but the man said the
woman had done it. and the woman ac-
cused the man. They never changed
from this, but died accusing each other
Of the crime.
While in the custody of the constable.
on the way to Jail. they were stopped
at the Winterseat Bridge by a crowd of
Infatuated friends and neighbors of jays
and both negroes were lynched. The
lynching took place about midnight,
seven hours after the inquest.
w. K. Jay was good citizen and
prominent Mason. having been high
officers in the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina.

prior to his death Burrow Washington
had been family servant in the home Of
the Andersons here. He was the body
guard of Joseph r. Anderson. the noted
founder of Bristol. up to the time Of his
death. about fifteen years ago. and in
consideration of the fidelity of the old
colored man. Mr.. Anderson gave him the
cottage home where he lived and died
It was a matter of great pride with
Burrow Washington that he was descend
ed from the nobility of his race, and he
always, although not In a bigoted sense
held himself to be the superior of this
ordinary run Of colored people.
It has come down through the memory
of men who knew Burrow Washington
in the days of slavery that he was the
son of an African prince, his grandfather
having resigned as king In a portion OF
Africa Washington's father was cap
tured by slave traders on the coast OF
Africa probably about the year 1897, and
was brought to America His father
never learned to speak English, seeming
more of a foreigner than most negroes,
who delight in their knowledge and use
Of the English language.
Burrow Washington. although proud to
claim mark Of superiority among peo~
pie Of his race. was kind old man, failn-
full to every trust, and will be kindly re-
membered among the children OF the men
whom he served so faithfully and for so
many years.
