A Lynching Convention.

Columbia, July 29.-The Rev. Fl. G..
johnson, pastor of the colored Presby-
terian Church here, who has given the
subject of lynching of negroes and the
cause much consideration, this after
noon issued the following cali for a con-
yenJion to consider the subject generally.
The call as written by him follows:
ITO all Colored Male Citizens of Rich
land and adjacent counties: You are in
vited and most earnestly requested to at
tend convention, to be held in this city
on Tuesday, August %, for the purpose
of taking under consideration lynching
and it's causes, and to consider matters
pertaining to the moral welfare of the
race.
We also notice that hundreds of our
people are leaving the farms every year,
crowding into the towns and cities,
where many of them get little or moth
ing to do, with bad results. These mat
tors merit the serious and prayerful con-
sideration of the intelligent men of the
race, and more especially do we appeal
to all ministers of tho Gospel and teach
ers of private and public schools to at
tend this convention. A number of per-
sons will address the convention. Names
will be published later. We hope to se-
cure reduced rates on all roads leading
into Columbia. "H. G. johnson,
Pastor of Ladsen Presbyterian Church."
=. S.-The call of this convention is
endorsed by the Minister'S Union, of
Columbia

Grusomo Murder In Aiken.

Abram Surasky, jewish peddler, liv-
ing In Aiken, was murdered near Haw-
Shorno, in Aiken county, last Wednesday
evening, by two white men, George
Toole and Lee Green. The body was
not discovered until Friday evening and
Surasky' o family were not notified until
Friday night. The murdered man was
80 years of age, and one of five brothers
who ran small stores in Aiken, all quite
peaceful citizens, harming no one, as is
characteristic of the race. Last Tues
day Surasky loaded his wagon with his
packs and started on his rounds. He is
house to soil his wares, as 1t was his Gus
tom to do, and it was then that the two
men carried ont their plan of robbery
and murder. Surasky was shot twice in
the back with gun, one arm was almost
severed from his body and his head and
body were hacked horribly with an axe.
When tho body was discovered it was
impossible to recognize any semblance of
human being in the face, as decompo-
sition had set in. Buzzards flying over
the spot attracted the attention Of men
passing by.
On searching for clews the officers
found a pool of blood in the yard of Lee
GREEN'S house, and other blood stains
were discovered on melon rinds, and the
bloody axe was found under the house.
AT the ooroner's inquest it was devel.
oped by the clues found that Toole and
Green shot Surasky twice in the back
and then cut him up with an axe. The
shots evidently did not suffice to subdue
their victim and the axe was used to fin
ish him. After their work was accom-
plished they loaded the corpse in the
victims own wagon and drove to a
lonely spot in the woods and tied the
horse to tree and left it. The horse,
becoming hungry, broke loose and pulled
the wagon with it's ghastly load away
from the spot where he was tied to
within mile and half of Hawthorne,
when it was discovered. A negro man
is suspected of being an accomplice in
the crime, but has not been arrested.
Lee Green is q bad character. He at
tempted to kill a peddler named Levi,
from Augusta, Ca, some time ago. Levi
was wounded, but escaped.
Surasky only had about So in money.
This was taken, but his watch and pack
were not disturbed by his murderers,
possibly because the chances of discov-
cry would be greater if such goods were
found in their possession. Toole testified
at the inquest that he found the body on
Wednesday night, but was afraid to say
anything about it. The authorities are
confident that they have the right parties.

"We believe, after carefully reciting
facts, that the negro is as safe, or safer,
in the South than in the North. Safer,
because he can earn living in any voca,

ability to do. Safer, because no Southern
