for that this last catastrophe will open
the eyes of the public to the storm truth
that mob law is relic of barbarism
and ia bound to end in drinking the
cup OF gall and bitterness to its very
dregs. The courts aud the law, poor
as they are, must be respected They
will prove effective il backed by q
strong and healthy public sentiment.
The astounding and discouraging
feature of the above cases was the ap-
parent Indifference and piuiable weak
ness Of the officers Of the law, whose
sworn duty it was to ferret out these
crimes, and if possible bring the guilty
to the bar of Justice.
Let Us hope that the sad death Of an
otherwise useful citizen shall stand IS
a warning to the mob, that its vel
geance must come to grief, unless the
very fabric of government and civil
lied society fall about our ears in hope

Inc people OF tnaG secGlOn 6t1ll DISCUSS,
round their fresides, during the long
winter nights, the daring nonchalance
with which that monstrous deed was
perpetrated in broad daylight. The
theory generally accepted is that three
white men from the Dutch Fork side
Of the river roWed their little skih
across the stream and hooked it in q
thick underbrush on the opposite side.
Rumor has always contended that the
men whe were seeking toimbrue their
hands in the gore of their fellowman
carried no malice or sense of wrong in
their hearts, but were executing their
part of pact for few paltry, dirty
little sheckels. Horrible as was the
bloody deed, nothing was ever done,
nor any concerted or determined effort
made to unravel the mystery.
The latest chapter in this dark and
dismal book was recently written and
is still fresh in the memories of readers
of The State. Several barns had been
burned in quick succession and sus-
picion fell upon negro in the neigh
borhood. The mob visited his house
in the dead of night and asked him to
come forth. His wife advised him 70
shoot for his life, and the result was
that the leader of the mob-who hap
peDed to be substantial and promi-
nent citizen Of the nejghborhood-~as
sent to meet his God, in the twinkling
of an eye, and widow in weeds left be-
hind. to weep oyer his fate.
1t would seem that the old Dutch
Fork has paid her full price, and cries
for surcease of sorrow, which have
hung. from time to time, like funer-
al pail over her fair dominions. 1t is
a consummation deyoutly to be wished

enjoyed no voice in the government
under which they lived. They knew
little of the merits of the controversy
between the colonies and the mother
country. They had received their
grants of land from the king, and they
did no. care to have them taken awa7
by . war which little concerned them.
In short, they did not care to fight un-
less there was good reason Ifor it
from their own viewpoint. from that
day to this the vast majority have
been industrious, economical and
peaceful. There are no large and
wealthy planters among them, but
many are well-to-do, and most of them
are independent.
There is an element which does it's
own work exclusively, and which eth
er cannot secure negro labor or will
not have it. There is an old tradition
that the negroes view this class as
"poor bucra," and between the two
the re is marked and distinct line of
cleavage and considerable animosity.
From this cause haye sprung most Of
the fatalities which have stained the
name of the good old Dutch Fork.
The white man is supreme, and the
negro must live, like Cse 'ar's wife,
above suspicion, or take the conse-
quences. As is usual. when the oyer
check is slackened upon the neck of
the angry mob, it's depredatious be.

til it ramifies in directions, which, at
first were never dreamed Of.

for number of years, to convince any
reasonable man that q more or less

white people this time turned out en-
mssse snd hunted the cnlprit with the

sudden the chase ended, everybody
seemed satisfied, and the negro has

will.

tthe most dastardly, for boldness and

annals of the state.
The victim lived on the southern
shore of the Saluda river, but enough
leaked out, in the due course of time,
to make it practically sure that his
death was hatched up aid perpetrated
by Dutch Forkers. The man marked
for slaughter was not saint by any
means, and those who crossed his way
soon realized that he was not q Nan to

true, two attempts to murder him
were made before he finally bit the
dust. He ran little water mill near
his house, and on the fatal day he was
there at his usual chores. A colored
woman, passing from the house to the
mill with his dinner, heard the rustling

To the Editor of The State:
The well informed and observant

Of Lexington county during the last
decade, knows that it is not lawless

fact, the opposite is reslly the case,
with the exception of q small minori-
ty, to be dwelt upon, later on, in this

can give county an unsayory odor.
Murder, among the whites, is rare.

assumed the responsibility Of admin
lstering law upon the helpless as they
see fit. . A few unnamed but thorough
ly reliable cases in point may be cited
by way of historical illustrations.
Some years ago, on q cold winter
night in November or December, an
old negro, near Bear Creek in the up
per portion Of the Dutch Fork, had
partaken of his usual supper Of fitch
of bacon and corn hoe-cake, when he
and his family retired to their humble
beds for supposedly y-restful slumber.
Toward midnight, with little or no
warning, the Regulators" broke down
his door and invaded his home. Even
the wicked old Fagin, in "Oliver
Twist" with murder in his heart, re-
coiled. as he looked upon the innocent
babes and their sleeping mother, and
whispered to himself. mot tonight"
But these "white-caps' had no such
"compunctious visitings." A little
pile of cotton Was quickly saturated
with kerosense and set on fire. AS the
flames lit up the cabin room the old
man was brutally shot to death like a
dog, while the rest of the family barely
escaped with their lives.
Ih motive for the coWardly assasina-
ton was never definitely known, but
the one usually assigned was that the
negro had, on quasi public occasion
on the perverted rights of
his race and that he intended to stand
up for his.
The next case was that of a highly
farmer of the lower Dutch
Fork, vino had chided a young negro ]
Of rather impudent proclivities, about
hunting on his land contrary to order.
They parted, when the negro, at a
