TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Taken From Constable, Hanged And
Shot. The Negroes Were Accused
of Having Killed Ben Smoak, Promi.
nent Citizen of Colleton County.

Branchville, June 12.-Frank Sam
uels and Quillie Simmons, negroes,
were lynched at Smoaks at about 10
o'clock last night by mob composed
of about 100 Colleton county men.
Possibly the lynchers were more nu-
merous. Their crime, or alleged crime,
was the assassination of J. Ben Smoak
at o'clock on the night of May %.
The two negroes had been under sus-
picion since the commission of the
crime and yesterday afternoon were
arrested by Constable N. M. Maxey,
who started to Walterboro with them.
Lonnie Stokes, a negro, who also
had been arrested, was not lynched.
The report here is that Maxey with
his prisoners was overtaken and COM
PEELED to return to Smoaks. There
the mob carried their victims to a
short distance from the village, and,
hanging them (Samuels and Simm0ns)
to tree, filled their bodies with shot.
Immediately the mob dispersed and
the neighborhood is quiet.
Ben Smoak was "a years old, recent
ly had married, and had gone into
business only two months ago. He
was closing his store on the evening
of the 29th when he was shot in the
breast. When he did not come home
as usual his brother went out to seek
him and found his body in front of the
store dead.
Samuels and Simm ons have been
constantly under surveillance. They
did not bear good regulations. They
were at the store an hour before
Smoak was killed and had their guns.
Since then they have gone about car
rying their guns. Ben Minus, ne
gro, meanwhile told the father of the
dead boy that Simmons and Samuels
had money and that they had buried
some CleCRS WHICH Cuey udu Gdkeu
from the store. The checks were
found at the place indicated by Min
US. Samuels admitted that he was
accustomed to nse No. s shot and such
was the size of the shot with which
Smoak was killed.
Ben Minus also saw Samuels and
Simmons dividing money, in the rear
of Mr.. Smoak's stables.
1t was said that the two negroes
partially confessed, but denied that
they knew anything about the actual
shooting. Obviously, definite informa-
tion as to what took place at helynch-
ing is hard to obtain. The lynchers.
however, have no doubt as to the gui +
of their victims and little doubt as to
that is expressed by anybody,

often until the hair becomes coarse,
or if the brows are thin they do not
strengthen or try to develop the roots.
Thus when any attempt is made to
beautify the hair lines above the eyes
the task is difficult.
In rejuvenative treatment it is i'm
portant to brush the brows morning
and night.
For this a narrow brush with soft
bristles must be used. Some are made
especially for this purpose, but a soft
toothbrush will produce an equally
beneficial result and is less expensive.

direct line from the nose across the

from that bend to the tip a downward,
like a swallows wing. This is the
ideal shape, and training will do much
to attain it.
Under no conditions are the brows
to be clipped unless one wants to look
like scrub brushes. Incidentally the
stiff eyebrows is great. but it can be
done TO accomplish this every night
they should be anointed with bandoline
or sticky pomade to hold the hairs in

may be made from two ounces of clean,
powdered gum arabic. dissolved in a
gill of warm rosewater drop of
aniline dye will tint 1t, and in case of
extreme stiffness of the hairs this may
be kept on them during the dav as well
as at night until the hairs have been
