South Carolina Mob Had No Regard
For Sex.
Greenwood, S. CIV. G. Jay, prom.
inent young farmer of the Troy sec.
ton of this county, was murdered in
his own yard by a negro, Oliver
Weideman, or Weideman's wife, both
of whom lived on the place, and few
hours afterward both of the negroes
were lynched by Jays Infatuated neigh
bors.
Mr.. Jay, on returning home, heard
We1deman abusing and fighting his
(Weideman's) wife. He went to the
cabin and ordered the negro to be
quiet. Immediately afterward, Mrs.
Jay heard the report of a gun and saw
the two negroes running away. Call.
ing her husband, she received no re-
ply, and on looking around the yard
found him dead in pool of blood.
The alarm was quickly given and
parties were soon securing the coun-
try in pursuit of the negroes. They
were captured, and before the coro-
ners jury both acknowledged the deed.
The man, however, said the woman did
1t, and the woman accused the man.
While in the custody of a constable
on the way to the Jail, they were STOP
ped at the Winterseat bridge by a
crowd of Infatuated friends and neigh
bors OF Jay and both were lynched,
each accusing the other of the crime,
The lynching took place about mid
night
Jay was a prominent Mason, hold
ing high Office in the grand lodge of
South Carolina.

William H. O. Jackson, the Repub-
lican candidate for senator, has carried
Mitdlesex county by about 437 major
ity, defeating George A. Viehmann'
the Democratic candidate. One poll
in East Brunswick township was
late. This end of the county went
Democratic with the exception OF one
or two polling places but the MAORI
tics were not enough to balance the
heavy Republican tide in the southern
end. The voting was heavy anu there
was great deal of interest every
where. There was a great deal OF
surprise over the result. The Demo-
Gratis were confident to the last that
they would win, but as the returns
kept coming in it was evident that the
victory had gone against them.
The assembly vote was long IN
doubt and it was not until late that 1t
was definitely determined who were
elected. Lhe coroners were much the
same. Cranbury, where the Demo
Gratis had hopes of gaining many
credits for Viehmann, went for Jack
son, and the Republican ticket by an
enormous majority. Viehmann got
but 90 to 229 for Jackson. South Am
boy gave 72l for Viehmann and 564
for jackson, a majority for the Demo
Gratis of 157. Woodbridge township is
very close with but nineteen majority
for jackson. The vote IN Carteret
was very warm. The politicians
worked hard. They were at it right
up until the polls closed and then
hung around to learn what the result
was for no ono was sure. 1t wa:
doubtful MP to the last, but the Demo
Gratis won in that district by small
majority.
The result OF the assembly vote il
much the same as last year excepting
the names are different. The lates
reports show Fordyce and Martin, o.
the Republicans, elected, and Quack
enboss for the Democrats. The vote
are as follows: Cannon, 6,407; Pearse
6, ,457; Quackenboss, 6,549; Henry
6. 52a; Martin, $3.50; Fordyce, G,s1S.
The vote from this end of the count,
was received here first and it was al
very encouraging for the Democrats

felt sure enough of Mr.. Pfeiffer'
election to open up their celebration.
1t was about II O'Clock when the big
whistle at the factor5I of Henry
Maurer & Sons was tied down and it
kept up its noise with but few inter-
ruptions until midnight.
The company was not satisfied with
this alone, for they had purchased
over 200 barrels and at IL o'clock they
were piled up and set on fire. The
flames leaped high in honor of John
Pfeiffer Jr.
Mr.. Pfeiffer is one Of the most
popular men in Perthss Amboy, and
both sides, Democrats and Republic
ans, are satisfied that he was elected.
After the First, Second and Fifth
Wards came in there was a lorg lull
and the election officers at the Third,
Fourth and Sixth wished for ma
chimes. The hour passed midnight
and on to l O'Clock and still the three
wards were missing. The splitting,
cutting and slashing was something
seldom heard of. In the meantime
the returns from the county came in
showing a majority for the Republican
ticket The voting had been heavy
everywhere and the count was an
extra long one but nowhere was it so
heavy as at the three wards in this
C ity.
During the early part of the night
there were crowds of people out

In the Sixth Ward was the greatest
mixup. The fight had been bitter
