An Incident OF Other Days.
A White Man Whipped at the
Post in Laurens Who Later
Became Prosperous.
Col. James A. Hoyt in Green,

The Laurens correspondent of
the Charleston Sunday News
furnishes this interesting story OF
the past.
''In the early tifties young
lawyer just admitted to practice
was employed to defend a white
man charged with stealing bush
ell of oats from rich planter.
The whipping post was the pun
ishmcnt for such offenses and
there was no alternative penalty.
The proof was plain and the
young lawyers humble client
was promptly convicted. When
the verdict was announced the
solicitor eane to the attorney
and whispered: 'B-, it will
never do for that white man to be
publicly whipped.
" We'll, what's to be done
about its' said the lawyer.
"'Hll arrange it,, the solic-
tor replied. A brief consulta,
tlen eDsued between the solicitor,
the prosecuting witness, the Judge
and the sheriff
"rhen the solicitor came back
to the lawyer. Explain to your
client that if he will break from
the sheriff and never stop run
ming till he crosses the Savannah
River and never cross back again,
he will not be pursued. The
State will be satisfied If the man
leaves the Country. AS the
sheriff takes him to jail from the
court house let him lag behind;
the sheriff will walk 20 feet in
front. When they reach the cor.
ner of the alley leading to the
Jail ne must run and never look
back. There will be mock
chase, but all the young man need
do is to rum"
"The young lawyer explained
the programme to the convict,
who s,olidly assented. When the
sheriff took him away, the lawyer
went on the court house steps to
see the fun. The sheriff, as
promised, walked ahead of the
prisoner without looking back. |
They approached the alley cor
ner. The sheriff passed it. The
convict reached it and, with eyes
to the front marched deliberately |
behind the sheriff into the Jail. In |
due time he took his threshing
and went home. He preferred 1t |
to leaving Laurens county. A
curious sequel, though, i. that he |
did later 60 to another State and
there accumulate a good property |
and was highly respected citi-
zen.'
The editor of The Mountainecr,
who was then boy and Il resi-
dent of Laurens, rem mem bered
this incident very distinctly, as
this was the only white man he
ever saw punished at the whip.

ed the sheriff's Office. MIR. Os-
wald Richardson was the sheriff,
one OF the kindest hearted men
that ever lived in Laurens, and
like the solicitor he did not want
to see white man publicly whip
ped, much less to inhict the pun>
ishment himself. The boys of
the village gathered around in
much awe at the proceedings, and
the sheriff applied the lash thirty
nine times to the back of the Cul-
prit, but it was said at the time

der licks if the law had required

Saturday morning Barnett engaged in
conversation with Quill, during which he
tainted him about the latter's wife and
said he would become her husband upon
his return home. Barnetts words so exas-
perated Quill that the latter used a knife
across his throat with deadly effect, an
stated Quill was married to the woman
mentioned in the District Jail here while
under charges of violating the Edmunds
act. They lived in Maiden lane, South
Washington. He was arrested for shooting
at George Brown and cutting his brother.
