Will it Stop Lynching!

The State reports that Attor
ney General Gunter h"s hit upor
Il plan which, if it does not pre-,
vent lynchings, he believes vii
90 long ways toward lesscning
them. He calls attention to the
fact that since the antidueIling
law was passed in the State in
1882, the crime has been vlr,ual,
ly wiped off the statute books This
law, which reads as follows, ha,
been OF the greatest possible bene
fit to the State:
"No property qualification. un,
less prescribed in this constitu-
ton, shall be necessary for an
election to or holding of any Off
ce. No person shall be eIecte /
or appointed to Office IN this State
for life or during good behavior,
but the terms of all officers shall
be for some specified period, no.
taries public and officers in the
militia. After the adoption of
this constitution any person who
shall fight Il due or send or accept
challenge for that purpose, be
he an alder II abcttor in lightning
duel, shall be deprived of hold
ing any Office of honor or trust in
this state, and shall be Other wise
punished as the law shall pres
cribe. "

"How would a law like this be
made operative by legislative

"No. In some States that
would be possible, but here in
South Carolina it would have to
be a constitutional enactment.

b"hNllle, Ill, July %. This
city Is in the throes of a race war
One negro, an unknown man
from Evansville, Ind, who to,
night shot and killed Henry Cat,
terman, white, has alreday been
lynched by II mob of 600 men,
who we've later fired upon by the
sheriff, three being wounded. The
mob was clamoring for the life of
another negro named James Will
son, who has confessed to a bru.
tai assault on the wife of a far
mer at Alvon, Ill.,, just north OF
here.
The unknown negro met his
fate while the mob was on the
way to lynch Wilson. The an
cry throng was passing down east
Main street when the negro be,
came involved in an altercation n
with some of its members. They
started after him and he pulled u

Henry Californian, a young
butcher who has recently return
ed from Fort Monroe, fell NOR
tally wounded and expired in a
few seconds. The negro turned
and fled, but was caught by the
officers within IA block of the scene
ofthe tragedy and hurried to the
police station with the mob in hot
pursuit, temporarily diverted from
their march to the county Jail.
fhe officers with their prisoner
look refuge in the city building,
barrlcading themselves behind the
door of one of the offices. They
could not check the mob, how.
ever, for after securing battering
rams it took them only about half
an hour to wreck the city prison,
the negro being found hid in n
safe. He was pulled from the
safe, struck with sledges, knocked
down, jumped upon and stamped
to death. A rope was placed
about his neck and his lifeless bo-
dy was dragged about three
blocks. An effort was made im-
medlately to hang the body to n
telegraph pole but the rope broke.
The mob. which by this time
numbered 5000, then dragged
the body to the Jail and burned
it.
Then they charged the jail, and
tie sheriff and deputies fired,
several members of the
mob, some fatally.
The mob repulsed, sent to a
nelghboring mining camp for dy-
Mantle and probably will Cattack
the jail again. The mob is infur.
lated and threatens to lynch the
sheriff and his deputies, also ,he
negro turnkey in the Jail.
