Stencil decoration is the vogue of

method of decoration, at least for the
time being. And no wonder, for the
effects that can be produced are pret-
ty and artistic and wonderful to re-
late. Anybody can do 1t with little
practice. or course, in this, as In any
thing else, the greater the cleverness
and the ingenuity of the worker the
better the result, but anyone-and |
say that advisedly can get results
that are worth while
I'd advise the beginner to expert
ment once or twice on some material
that can be thrown away before try

the pattern correctly and OF other
things that come easily after few
preliminary trials. | take for granted

WOMAN FOULLY SLAIN.
Body Found in Well in Columbia
Bloody Razor and Axe Tell Story
of a CHASTITY Murder.

Another mysterious murder has
been added to the list which for the
past few years have shocked this
community. Recalling in its cold
blooded atrocity the killing Of Maude
Allen few years ago was the grue-
some find Of the body of Mrs. Vic
toria E. Griffin in the well in her
yard early this morning. Her neck
cut in two places and a deep cash IN
her head told the story Of the foul
murder, of which no definite clue
could be traced this morning, and
which was surrounded with a veil Of
mystery and unusual circumstances.
A razor with blooded blade and an
axe with blood on the end and the
blade showed that these weapons
were used in the killing.
At 500 o'clock this morning Po-
iceman Salters, who has a beat near
the union station, was called to OIL
Sumter street by Russell Griffin, the
Youngest son of Mrs. Griffin. The
boy told Mr.. Salters that his mother
was missing from the house and ask
ed the policeman to come to the house
and look around. Mr.. Salters went
and make an examination.
Woman's Sons and Two Others Ar
rested.
Just after the coroner arrived i.
". Medlin, who lives across the
street from the Griffin home, came to
the house. He was placed under ar
rest on suspicion. He was friend Of
the family, and is said to have visit
ed the Grifins. It was thought strange
that he should come back to the house
so early in the morning-in tact, ne
was one Of the first to arrive after
the coroner got there.
Luke Lewis, a barber, was also
placed under arrest. Lewis is said
to have been visitor at the house al
so to see the eldest daughters Of Mrs.
Griffin. Last night was Lewis regu-
lar night to call, it is further stated,
but for some reason he did not come.
Those placed under arrest this
morning are: Jim Griffin, age about
10; Russell Griffin, about Il years
old. and Walter Griffin, the eldst son,
all three sons of Mrs. Griffin, the MUIR
dered woman, and G. ". Medhn and
Luke Lewis.
Mrs. Griffin was about 50 years old. |
She has been living here number OF
wears. Her husband ran a grocery
store and later went to Georgia, where
he was killed by his partner In the
turpentine business. Mrs. Griffin was
twice married.
The razor found this morning was
said to have been the one owned by |
the elest son, but the razor case found
in his trunk does not correspond with
the razor.
The police and coroner worked harc |
today to find some clue to the mur-
derer or murderers.

DOUBLE LYNCHING IN COLLIE
TON COUNTY.
Two Negroes Hanged and Rlodled
With Sho5-Prisoners Charged
With the Murder Of Smoak.

Branchville, June 11.-At a late
hour tonight crowd Of about one
hundred farmers and other citizens
Of Colleton County, took two negroes
away from the officers of the law,
hung them to a tree, near the rail-
road track, and fired round after
round into their swinging bodies. The
negroes who were killed were Frank
Samuels and Quillie Simmons, and the
crime for which death meted to them
was the murder on May % OF young
Mr.. Benjamin Smoak, member Oh
a prominent family, and a merchant
of the town, which bears his name.
Early tonight word was received
here from Smoak's stating that Con-
stable n. NJ. Maxey had arrested four
negroes who, it was alleged, were con-
cerned in the murder Of Mr.. Smoak.
These four were Frank Samuels,
Guile Simmons, Connie Stokes and
another whose name has not been
learned. It will be remembered that
when Mr.. Smoak was killed just as
he was closing his store for the night,
the assassin, or assassins, secured
about S95 in cash and checks. 1t was
these checks which led to the arrest
of the four negroes, two OF whom
met death tonight at the hands OF
the mob, Young Ben Minus stepped
I'D behind the stables Of Samuels, VINO
had a farm about a mile and hall
from the town Of Smoak1s and saw
him dividing the stolen money with
the other negroes. Minus Immediate
" returned, told what he had seen
and heard, and described the hiding
place of the missing checks. A prompt
search led to the discovery OF the
checks, and Constable Maxey at once
arrested Samuels. Subsequently the
other negroes were also arrested, and
the constable and his assistants start
ed with his prisoners for Waterloo
70. = F.
Meanwhile the mob had been gath
ering rapidly and silently, and before
LONG nearly a hundred determined
men had started in pursuit. The Of
ficers we're overtaken near the rail-
road line and, being greatly outnum-
bered, they were unable to offer Ell
fective resistance. The terrified ne
groes we're seized, and the Leaders
Of the mob questioned them briefly
As to their connection with the Kill
inc Of Mr.. Smoak. Two Of them ap-
narently managed to clear themselves
and we're set free. Samuels and SIM
mons were then marched to the rail-
road track, hanged to tree and tnelr
bodies riddled with bullets.
AT present everything is quiet. 1t
is not known whether Samuels ana
Simmons confessed their guilt, alter
falling into the hands OF the aVen-
gers, since the mob, as soon as II
Completed its work, scattered ana
those who took part in the lynehlng
returned to their homes. 1t Is KNOWN
however, that the two negroes had
previously admitted that they knew
something about the crime, though
thew swore that they did not do the
actual shooting. Samuels stated that
he generally used No. 8 shot IN ms
gun and shot of that size were found
in Mr.. Smoak's body. Both negroes
