lie Was LynChed for a
Harmless Threat.
Eutawville Negro Had Said He
Would Paddle Young Man.
Mutilated Body Found in
River.
The State, 18th inst.

Gov. Hayward has new lynch
ing to investigate, and according
to the official report which came
to him yesterday about the affair,
it is the most inexcusable that has
occurred since he was inaugurated.
Because he threatened to paddle q
young white man, mob took
Kit Bockard, negro, from the
Eutawville calaboose, in Berkeley
county, where he was serving q
a:sentercc of Is days for the Of
fence, and after killing him and
mutila'ing his body threw the
corpse into the Santee river with
5o-pound iron weight tied to it.
Although the crime occurred
last Monnay night, the official re-
port of the affair did not reach the
governor until yesterday, Magis-
trate Niggins' letter being written
on Saturday.
Gov. Hayward yesterday wired
Solicitor Hlldebrand ut Orange
burg to attend the inquest next
Wednesday, and he says he will
do all in his power to assist the
magictrate and solicitor to find
and prosecute the members of the
mob.
Gov. Hayward has made sn ap.
pointment with Solicitor Wilson
to meet him here tomorrow for
she purpose of outlining a plan of
action with reference to the Scran,
ton lynchlng. =,
1t is likely that If the governors s
plans are carried out with refcren.
&C to these lynchlngs that inter
esting re uits will follow within
the mex. month or so:
The only statement that has
been published about the Eutaw,
vile lynching was that contained
in a special to The State Of Satur-
day to the effect that the negro
was missing from the town guard
house and that it was supposed
that he Ind been lynched, the
body not having been recovered
at that time.
Magistrate Wiggins' letter 10
the governor follows:
Eutawville, S. c.,
July 16, 1904.
Hon. D. G. Hayward, Governor,
Columbia, S. G.
Mr. Dear Sir: On Monday
night, the 11th of July, prisoner
under sentence for assault and
riotous conduct by my court was
taken from the town guardhouse
of this town by unknown parties
and his body was found float
ingln the Santee river near Fer :
guson yesterday, with his hands
tied with rope and an iron
weight Weighing SO pounds or
more tied to him, his body being
evidently mutilated before depos-
lting it in the water. 1 had corr
oner's jury empaneled, viewed the
body, and the same was identified
as that of Kilt Bookard, the pris-
oner.
The action of the mob is en-
tirely unwarranted, as the negro
only had a little quarrel with a
young white nan, cursed him and
threatened to paddle him, to which
charge he pleaded guilty. l i'm
posed a fine of SIS or Is days on
the county chaingang. He didn't
have the money to pay the fine
and turned him over to my con-
stable with n commitment with in
structions to collect the fine or
commit him.

is why the Telegram editor left, too.
The News editor was there, when the

editor from the Telegram was there at
the same time, and he knows that any
statement to the effect that the editor
from the Telegram slipped ont Of the
convention room, when the contribution
box was passed is barefaced lie. and
yet he is duped by the Democratic clique
into publishing that lie. What do hon

Telegram met them in way they did
not expect, and they now find them
selves in confusion, and in their found
erings they but augment their despera-
ton and portray il more clearly as the
days pass. They know they are al
ready whipped. They KNOW their course
has brought them into greater disrepute,
if possible, than thcy were before.
They know the people are on TO them
and their little game, and they ought
to recognize the fact that they brought
it on themselves. They have helped to
condemn themselves in the eyes of the
public, not Intentionally, of course, but
unwittngly. The yaps>they have among

it is the best sample of desperate

The only desperation shown in this

The last city election showed how
much the people think of that Demo,
cratic clique. They held their star
chamber meetings and then passed the
word out that they were going to win.
They kept repeating the assertion that
they were going to win glorious vic
tory, but the results OF the election
convinced them that they were not in il
4 little bit and showed the public that
they mad been making false claims all
along. Now they come with like asser-
tions for the fall election, but the PEG.

be there. in accordance with the plans
they laid at the star-chamber meeting

The News, which is the mouthpiece Of

neither if they were showed upon it,
attacks the character of A. X. Thorn,

neither honor nor integrity, and yet

1T has come to That stage in the

voters in that party have found it alb

here Especially has Clay district
Democrat awakened to the fact that this
clique is trying TO run the party and he
compels the mouthpiece OF the clique
to publish an appeal in behalf of Righ-
ter, who he believes is not on the slate
for nominee for sheriff. He calls them
to account for not using discretion and
by that he means that they are "short."
He reproves them in way that he
thinks the public ought not to know
but which he knows the clique will know
and feel. He tells them that no sell
fish motive should exist, and then ne
gets off on TO the matter OF sheriff and
finds that Fighters name is most fav-
orably spoken of, thus giving the Demo.
cratic cirque another rub. He goes far
ther. He says that his district viii
support him and by that ne means to
tell the Democratic court house ring
composed of about one person who
works in the court house and three or
four on the outside that it shows pre-.
ference to the wrong man so far as Clay
district is concerned. He even goes far
Their by making the implication that an,
other candidate in Clay district is not a
sober man, when he says: ave must
have good, sober business men," BY this
it is to be inferred that some OF the
