Greenville, June 29.-Having at
tempted to assault the wife of high
ly respectable farmer of Plckens
county and having shot her twice I'm
the back with single-barreled shot
gun as she ran through the fields to
her husband, Brooks Gordon, a young
negro, was torn from the custody of
the sheri6 by determined mob late
this afternoon and lynched. The wo-
man is reported to be resting well,
and her chances of recovery are IA
Vorable unless complications set In.
The crime Is one of the most atrocious
of the kind ever committed in this
section Of the State, and the portion of
Pickens county where the offense was
'perpetrated wa sin terrible turmoil
from the time the deed became known
until the thirst for vengeance had been
satisfied.
According to reports from Easley
tonight, the negro attacked the wo-
at 10 o'clock this morning. She broke
loose from him, and ran through the
field toward her husband, who was
about half mile away.
The negro carried a single-barreled
shotgun and demanded to know OF
the woman II she intended reporting
the matter to her husband. She re-
piled, as she ran, that she would tell
her husband, ard then the negro lev
'eled the gun at her and fred. The
wound did not deter the woman In
her purpose. The negro ran after her
reloading his gun as he ran. He de-
manded of her the second true IL she
intended telling her husband, but be-
fore she could reply he raised his gun
and fired upon her again.
Having fired the second, shot into the
back Of the fleeing woman, the ne
gro turned and ran toward the noun
tains. News Of the outrage quickly
spread throughout the surrounding
country and mob OF angry men
gathered and started IN pursuit. The
chase continued for several hours, but

The organization of a baseball lea

of a team in nearly every town in

sports appeal to all people. These
organizations deserve all the support

cially and enthusiastically. The bows
ri many Of the state teams play as
good ball as some Of the bushwhack-
ing leagues that are organized among
the smaller towns.
When horseracing was conducted
as a test Of ability between animals

mended as a game of baseball or a
track meet. Even now when the spor
