1t is an old lesson, it has been
often repeated, but the occnrren-
COS of the last few days seem to
call for another iteration of it.
Lynching does not deter crime
among negroes. The npologists
for lYnching claim that it does;
they assert that it is expedient and
helpful to "makc nn example"
Of a black brute who is charged
with the namr)nss crime or who
has killed u white man. This as
sumption displays fundamental
ignorance of negro character, and
it has been repeatedly dcmonstrat.

a negro is almost always followed
by an epidemic of assaults and
homicides by negroes, as has been

that be was lost. Mr.. Doneyhcw

Half an hour later as Mr. Doney-

the men passed the negro he went
back to Doneyhew's house and
finding no one in the house but Il

The State, 9th inst.

To avoid mob violence, the
negro Aaron Williams, was
brought yesterday from Camden
to Columbia and lodged in the
State penltentiary. The prison

The negro was arrested last
Thursday by Sheriff Trantham and
placed IN the Camden Jail for safe

of people from Sumter and Kcr

and large crowd from the Boy
kin neighborhood, the scene of
the crime, was also in town. In

When the sheriff investigated
these rumors and vas satisfied

In the absence Of the governor
the telegram was turned over to
Adjt. Gen. Frost. He at once
telegraphod Capt. S. G. Zemp to

IN the neigborhood was about TO

who had assaulted Mrs. John
Langley; that he had been able to
deter them from their purpose
temporarily, and to come at once
to stop a lynching. When he
arrived at Boybins he found Can't

of the world. who may play KID
Hueston for the title.
De Orc always tried to persuade Walsh
but Walsh would have none of it, and
was delighted far more by losing to the
Cuban Than to beat anv other player.
De Orc is one pool ulaver on whom not
the slightes. suspicion of a reproach ever
rested. He Is thoroughly honest and above
board. and has never been known TO re
sort to the practice of sharkins-a custom
so well known. among pool experts.
NEVER RESoRTED TO SHARKING.
In New York City. while De Orc was
enjoying a chat in Foley's. an amateur
player Of considerable means and proper
tomato vanity beat a well-known player
in a short game. He repeated the trick.
and. flushed with success. he called out a
challenge TO any man in the house in q
voice clear and distinct enough to he heard
in even the remotest corner Of the pool
hall. The regular patrons OF the place
crowded around the self-acc!aimed cnam-
pion. eager to get a glimpse at him.
a man in the crowd recognized De orc.
and offered to wager 500 that the Cuban
could beat the self-acclaimed champ"
The noisy one did not recognize De Orc.

an easy prey; but lust as the PLAYERS we're
must nave made an error and. turning
round TO him. De Orc asked the player If
he knew with whom he was p.ayins..
The fellow said no. and De Orc disclosed
his Identity. The champ, yanked down
his money in a hurry and made a rush
for the door. almost taking the jamhs
with him in his eagerness to escape the
merry rounds of laughter that broke on
his ears from all sides.
A less %scrupulous player than De Orc
would have taken MIR. Sucker" In and
H. a.e enriched himself by 500. but
De Orc would have none of the shark
business.
DE Oro's two greatest matches. his win

and his defeat of Clapp. back In the
eighties. were played in st. Louis. De Orc
and Clapp met in George Schaefer's old
place on Fourth and Pine streets. and

bet of 5000.

At present Frank Benson. proprietor Of

to play Kid Hueston. the local crack.
Hueston has challenged De Orc and the
latter Is waiting to hear from his en-
p,overs in the matter before closing the
match.
One of the touching incidents of the re-
cent pool match DEVELOPED around De ORC.
While the Cuban was playing one nisht
a man of evident professional training, &C
costed the Cuban after the match. The
pair hastily clasped each other. De ORC
eynIained to the wondering crowd that his
professional friend was the doctor VINO

He signed a contract. accordingly. with

Won Graeffen Is said 10 nave a good seat
on a horse and to have a good knowledge
of time. This latter quaiity attracted
considerable attention at the Schroeder
farm. The boy could breeze a horse with

he was told to exercise him. and this
property is conceded to DC of the greatest
