day morning by J. W. Burkhalter.
They are both young white men and
Burkhalter bears good reputation.
Holland is said to be wild and con-

NORTH IS LIKE THE SOUTH.
New York and New Jersey People.
Aroused to LynehinS Point.

When it comes to lynching a fend
for the usual crime there is no differ
ence between the North and South.
The quick wit Of a deputy sheriff at
Coxsackie, 4. Y, Tuesday afternoon
prevented the lynching of James Lit
tie, a l9-year-old negro hailing from
Summerhurst, n. Y, who Tuesday
morning near New Baltimore criminal
ly assaulted Emma Cole, aged IL
years, daughter of Joseph Cole, a
farmer living one mile back Of New
Baltimore. The negro escaped after
threatening the child with death. Two
other children had given the alarm
and Mr.. Cole and neighbors met the
child coming home and at once organ
lied a party to scour the woods. Lit
tie was captured On the railroad track
near CoxSackie, and be confessed the
assault and was locked up. A mob Of
$50 enraged farmers started from New
Baltimore for Coxsackie. augmented
by a large number Of striking Cox
sake moulders and river men, all
frankly vowing their intention to
lynch the negro. Deputy Sheriff Van
Loon, realizing that the coming Of
darkness would mean the breaking Of,
the flimsy local lookup and the violent
death OF his prisoner, smuggled the
negro out and took him down the river
on the boat to Catskill, where there is
a well built Jail. The Cole. child is
seriously injured, but may recover.

Beats the Jim Crow.

The Columbia State says a year
ago a white man was killed by a negro
in Linton, Ind. Since that time no ne
groes have been allowed IA Linton.
On Monday the Wallace circus was
billed in that town and the manage
ment was warned in advance that the
65 negroes connected with the show
should not be brought to Lenton, so
the negroes were taken to a town six
miles south of Linton and left while
the circus went on. A crowd met the
train and several hundred men in
spected the outfit to see that there
were ~ negroes along. Special
coaches were sent for the negroes left
behind and this train was rnn up to
Linton at night when the circus was
ready to leave and as the train passe q

THE COURTS DELAY
Caused the Lynching Of White Man
In Kentucky.

At Mayesville, KY, enraged at the
courts action, a mob broke into the
Flemingsburg jail Wednesday morn
ing and hanged William Thacker, a
white man, who had been given life
sentence for the murder of John Cor
don, two years ago.
-Thacker, in quarrel with Gordon
at Foxport, fought and killed him,
then sat on his body with a winches-
ter in his hands while he smoked a
pipe and dared any one to attempt to
arrest him. At the time Thacker
escaped, but later he was arrested and
lodged in Jail at FlemingSburg. he
was given two trials and finally got a
life sentence. Gordon was a good
citizen. Thacker appealed to the
court Of appeals and was waiting for
another trial. He had some money
and was able to command the support
of some influential men, and it is
feared he might have escaped punish
ment altogether.
The mob collected at Mt. Carmel,
where Gordon once lived, and came
into Flemingsburg by twos and threes,
in order not to arouse suspicion. They
advanced upon the jail shortly after
midnight. The jailer refused to sur
render the keys, but he was overpow-
cred and the keys taken from him.
Thacker was hurried to a tree near the
jail and given two minutes to say bis
prayers, which be refused to do, but
begged for life. To hush his cries be
was hit on the head with a rock and
his unconscious body was strung up
until life had become extinct.

The Laws Delay.

Here is story condensed from the
current issue Of Harper's Weekly:
There is now at large in the State Of
Delaware and enjoying freedom ne
gro named Neal. who twenty-four
years ago committed criminal assault
ona white woman and then attempt
ed to hide that crime by numbering
the woman. Antony Higgins, former
United States Senator and now lead
ing Republican politician Of Delaware,
was Meals counsel and managed to
obtain his freedom and escape from
any kind Of punishment for his double
crime on technicality, after his
client had been three time sentenced
to death. Harper's Weekly gives the
facts more in detail and drclares that

negro White would not have been
burned at the stake in Wilmington

responsible for much OF the lynch law
in the country, for the people have a

Spectacular Suicide.

A dispatch from Georgetown to The
State says: "A negro man committed
suicide Thursday by jumping off the
dock into the river He was probably
intoxicated or insane, but the method
and time selected by him for drowning
himself made the deed rather spec
tacular. A steamer load of negro ex-
cursionists was just leaving the dock
when this man. who held walking
stick in bis hand, was seen to leap in
to the river. he apparently made no
attempt to swim, but rose three
times, each time brandishing the cane
in the air, as if saluting some one On
the steamer. At length be disappear
ed. but for full minute afterwards
the end of the cane was raised above
the surface. Men in boat reached
the spot where the negro sank too
late to save him. and his body has not
yet been found.

THE NEGRO MUST GO.
Thai Is the Meaning ofthe Race War
in Indiana.

1t common error for negroes IN
the South to believe that their best
friends are at the North, and that no
matter what they did down this way
to the white people would be endorsed
by the white people of the North.
For the benefit of this class o$ ne
groes we publish the extracts from
Northern papers. In speaking Of the
race trouble in Indiana the New York
Herald says:

State to institute crusade against

An Ugly Crime.

Hon. James L. Shelton, ex-member
Of the assembly from Louis county
and a resident of Richmond, Va, was
attacked by negroes and beaten into
insensibility, while walking in the
grounds Of the Hermitage Golf club,
in the western suburbs eff the city,
with young lady, nurse in one of
the hospitals, Friday night. 1t is re-
ported that the young lady was drag
ged into an adjoining field and felon-
iously assisted, but so far this lacks
confirmation. 1t is authoritatively
stated that the negroes did not &C
complish their purpose on the young
lady.

wished to catch him. 1t is highly
probably that Johnson, il caught,
may suffer the extreme penalty.
A peculiar fact was developed at the
coroner's inquest Thursday when ,Jud-
son Hall testified that in the struggle
that occurred in the house where his
brother WAS killed hat his own gun
was discharged. He says that be does
not know how it occurred. It is pos
sible that he himself unwillingly may
have been the author of his brothers
death. The negroes in the outlying
districts are terrified by the recent oc-
currences but are not leaving the
county. They refuse to say any
thing about the crime and the white
man are equally as reticient.
The best people of Batesburg itself
deplore the killing Of Head Eelrtily,
but ridicule the idea Of race war.
1t is thought by many people that
blind tiger whiskey played a promi-
nent part ia the homicide. The scene
of the crimes is in the heart of the
sandhillS in lonely and unpopulated
section.

correspondent through the portion Of
the two counties where the homicide
occurred. Sheriff Alderman OF Aiken

duently worked in the field he would
