NEGRO BRUTE LYNCH.
ED In LEXINGTON
COUNTY
C0RLEY WOUNDED In
TRYING TO CAPTURE THE
NEGR0.-HER SCREAMS
HOWEVER. FRIGHTENED
THE NEGRO AWAY.
Special to The State.


Lexington, Jan. 6.-One of the
most brutal crimes that has ever
shocked the people of Lexington
county occurred about four miles
north of here tonight.
An unknown negro attempted to
criminally assault Mrs. Thomas
Wingard. wife of a most highly re-
spected farmer.
1t is reported here at o:30 o'clock
that the negro had been captured
and that Sheriff P. H. Corley has
received bullet wound in the leg
from the negro's weapon.
Those returning from the scene
refuse TO say anything about the cap
ture and it is safe to say that the
negro has been lynched.
Mrs. Wingard, who is SO years
old, was in her back yard when the
negro seized her. She screamed
and the negro ran off, her husband
being in nearby lot at the time.
News of the affair spread like
wild fire and it was not long before
the entire neighborhood was arous-
ed
Sheriff Corley was notified and
left Immediately with bloodhounds
to capture the negro.
Mrs. Wingard is said to be in
highly nervous state and is under a
physicians care tonight.
Upon receipt of the above infor-
nation The State endeavored to
communicate with Sheriff Corley by
long distance, but at midnight last
night the telephone ope ator at Lex
ington stated thai the sheriff had
not returned from the scene of the
lynching.

REFUSED TO PAY POLL
TAX
T. D. MITCHELL AND ARCHIE VIII
SON ARRESTED AND FORCED
TO PAY UP WITH ADDED
COSTS

Lexington, Jan. 5.-The noted r.
ID. Mitchell, who has so often been
in the tolls for offenses of various
kinds, was arrested here Monday for
refusal to pay poll tax Mitchell is
now said to be resident of Colum-
bia but resided in this county at
Brookland, in 1907. Mitchell pos
itively refused to pay the treasurer,
claiming that he was not a resident
of this county and, therefore, was
not liable to pay a poll. County
Treasurer Shealy promptly went be-
fore Magistrate Derrick and had a
warrant issued for Mitchell. The
warrant was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Corley, who made the ar
rest. He was given hearing be-
fore Magistrste Derrick and was or
dered to pay his tax and also fine
of 81 and all costs. Mitchell paid
the fine and was released.
Yesterday Archie Wilson, anoth-
er white man, who resides near New
Brookland, was arrested upon the
same charge. He was given hear
ing before Magistrate Derrick and
was fined 81 and all costs and or
dercd to pay his poll.
This makes the third case that
has come before the officers for
nonpayment Of poll tax.

DlSpEE>ARY STILL IN
ACTION
LEWlEDALE RUN SHOP WILL NOT
CLOSE DOWN As PREVIOUSLY
REP0RTED--FIRE NEAR
SUMMIT

Lexington, January 5.-The dis
penSary at Lewiedale will continue
to deal out booze" to the thirsty of
that little town and section. 1t was
stated few days ago that it was
very likely that the shop would be
closed with the coming of the new
year, for the simple reason that tne
owner of the building in which the
dispensary is located had refused to
rerent the building to the county
board for another year. This was
true, but when Mr. r. l.. Keisler.
chairman of the county dispensary
board, began to pack up making
ready to close the shop on the lst
of January, the owner reconsidered
his former action and told Mr.. Keis-
ler that he might have the building
as long as he wanted it, and as
consequence the dispensary at Lew
iedale will continue in force.
1t is not known what action, if
any, will be taken by those who
were instrumental in getting up the
petition asking that the dispensary
be cut out, but it is said that they
will probably push the matter fur
ther. But since it is generally be-
lieved by great many people of
this county that the Legislature at
the coming session will pass a State
wide prohibition law, and thus do
away with all of the dispensaries, it
is hardly probable that any steps
will be taken by the Prohibitionists
until after the adjournment of the
Legislature.
On last Thursday the residence of
Mr.. Anderson Sigh, near Summit,
was destroyed by fire, with all its
contents. The origin of the fire
has not been learned here. It is said
that Mr. Sligh's loss will be very
heavy.
Yesterday was salesday, and
there was very large crowd of
people in town There was not a
great deal Of property 10 be sold,
and the clerk soon cleared his books
There was lack OF the usual spirit
ed bidding, but this was due, it is
said, to the fact that the property
sold was not located in the better
section Of the county The person
al property Of the late J. w. Long,
which consisted of several thous-
and dollars worth OF mining stock
in distant States, as we'll as the
open accounts and unpaid notes Of
Mr.. Long was sold. The prices
paid, in each case, were nothing
compared to the prices paid for the
famous Seminole stock, being ri
diCulOuSly low.

declared himself in favor of giving

service to that great people l have a

Nevertheless, I have a conviction
that the first duty of the people of
the United States is to prepare this
people for supporting an Independent
government. | do not believe it IS
in accordance with the spirit of our
constitution or Institutions that we
should continue the policy of having
colonial possessions. While I must
differ to some extent with my party

claims referring to the free entry of
