"But when George "a a very young boy his father did not wish him to

his sons learning the art He wanted his sol to become a lawyer Although
George raj very young he showed already that he cared very much Tor

When Gryson was gone Blount put

Blount saw q great light, which sud-

UGLY AFFAIR AT SCRANTON.
Florence County Magistrate Ar,
rests Citizen Without Cause.

Scranton, May Is: = Saturday
morning, about 2 o'clock,it is alleged
that several men went to the home
of Mr. John Mitchell, prosperous
farmer living about two miles from
Scranton { his Honor" Mack Collins
"a magistrate of Florence county
his son, Hubert Lee and Daniel Lee
being in the crowd asked admission
in an ungentlemanly, high-handed
and boisterous manner. Mrs Mitchell
opened the door and she says. Collins
and Herbert Lee came in and in an
ugly and domineering manner ar
rested her husband. Mr. Mitchell
was submissive and hand cuffs were
at once placed on him. Mrs Mitchell
was then informed by the Judge"
that he had fifty men stationed out
side and that Mr. Mitchell's body
would smoke before day dawned. Mr.
Mitchell was then carried from his
home under arrest at the dead hours
of night-leaving his family in a
high state of excitement, when abso-
lutSlV no crime had been committed
by him.
From what the writer can gather,
Mr. Mitchell and a negro employed
on his farm had had some little con-
troversy last Monday over the man.
agement of a share crop and both
had resorted to guns. Some few shots
were fired, but neither was seriously
hurt. A warrant was issued before
Judge Baldwin by Leffie Mathews,
and the parties were arrested.
Things passed on quietly until
Friday Friday night, when his
Honor" Mack Collins, from the Oak
Grove section, in Florence county,
came and created one of the most
violent excitements and disturbances
that has ever occurred in our COM
munity. We were reminded by some
of the citizens of Florence county
some time ago that after the annex
alton move we would have better
enforcement of laws and that the
continued lawlessness of some of our
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1911-05-18

people would be suppressed. If Fri
day nights demonstration is sam.
pie of better laws, God forbid that
we ever should have been annexed.
Have the good people of our coun-
ty allowed our government to be-
come so corrupt and vile that we
cannot select officers that will re-
spect our wives and daughters? Is
it possible that the time has come
when our wives, daughters and little
children are forced to be subjected
to such gross insults and to the
sounds of oaths of the blacklist type?
Absolute loss of respect for self and
others and a general disturbance at
our homes, caused by so-called peace
officers?
Later reports are that the Mitch
ell family are in high state of ex-
citement and in fear of being mobbed.
Tonight Mr. Mitchell has gone to the
Solicitor for protection and at this
writing is asking the Sheriff to pro-
tect him and his family from bodily
injury.
The foregoing article, which also
appeared in The Florence Daily
Times Monday, bore the following
comment:
The Times has no hesitancy in say
ing that while we publish the above
account of the incident, just as it is
written, we are sure that our friend
is allowing his sympathies to preju-
dice his judgment somewhat. We
have known the officers referred to
too long and too we'll to think that
they would so outrage decency and
we are waiting for the story from the
other side.-F2Orence Daily Times.
