CHAINED TO TREE AND sHOT.
Negro Charged with Murder
Lynched I'm Newberry County.

Newberry, November 23:-Will
Thomas, q negro, was taken from a
magistrates constable by a party of
masked men at point about Ia
miles above Newberry at about 10
o'clock last night, chained to tree
and his body riddled with bullets.
The negro was being brought to the
Newberry Jail by Constable Cary G
johnson, on a warrant charging him
with the murder of Spurgeon John.
son, white men, who was assassin
ated in the upper section of the
county, near the Laurens line, some
weeks ago.
The warrant had been issued by
Magistrate William Dorroh. and the
negro was arrested in the communi-
ty in which Johnson was killed.
Constable johnson was halted by
the mob at a point in some thick
woods just beyond Little river
bridge. He says when the mob ap-
preached him they demanded the
prisoner and that he refused to de-
liver him over and shot off his pis-
tol, thinking to bluff the mob. He
says he was told that if he did that
again he would be killed and that he
was then entirely surrounded by the
masked men and had to surrender.
He says the mob then told him to
get down the road quickly and he
obeyed. They struck his mule, he
says, and before he got very far he
heard the firing of guns and pistols.
He says he thinks he heard over a
hundred shots.
He and Magistrate Dorroh went
to the scene this morning and found
the dead body of the negro still
chained to the tree. Magistrate
Dorroh Immediately notified Sheriff
Buford. The latter had just returned
from.a trip in the lower part of the
county. where there was consider
able disturbance last night, and in
company with Constable Cannon G
Blease and others he left immedi-
ately for the scene.
1t was impossible to elicit any fur
ther facts than those given by the
magistrates constable.
Coroner John Henry Chappell held
an inquest, the verdict being that
the negro came to his death at the
hands of unknown parties.

final REPORT ON
TOBACCO CROP, 1912.
OUT CT 13 MARKETS KINGSTREE
STANDS FIFTH--LAkE CITY
LEADS TIE STATE.

Areport issued recently from the
State Department of Agriculture
shows that there were 24,227.9l2
pounds of tobacco produced in South
Carolina this year and that the crop
was sent to the market for $685.
443.6S. Reports were received from
l3 markets and 33 warehouses, all
located in the Pee Dee section OF the
State.
The total crop in 1911 was II, ,lO1,-
9O6, which brought only 81, 1852, ,462.-
81. The crop this year shows an IN
crease of 12,2S6,sO6 pounds. which
was worth $685. ,462.s4.
Commission Watson in making
public the figures for the tobacco
crop of 1912 said that this crop was
only 100000 pounds less than the
great crop of 1909 and came within
about 2, 900, 900 pounds of the great
est crop ever raised in the State.
which was in the year 1900; ne said
that he was particularly gratiied to
note that the crop this year brought
to the farmers who grew it the hand
some sum of S2,653.443.68, which
was just exactly 81, ,s2O. .9SO.S4 more
than the crop of 1911 netted the
growers. 1t is noteworthy, also, ne
said, that the production more than
doubled the production OF the pre-
ceding year. This was true, not
withstanding the fact that the aver
age yield per acre this year was only
$50 pounds against $40 last year and
a ten-year average of TAG.
Mr. Watson also called attention to
the fact that this year South Carroll
ma produced very nearly as much to-
bacco as Connecticut, nearly one-half
as much as Pennsylvania, one-fourth
as much as Maryland and North Car
olina, respectively, and nearly one
half as much as Tennessee, and has
now taken rank among the tobacco
growing States.
