BLACKSBURG QUIET AT NIGHT
Threatened Uprising OF the Negroes
Failed to Materialize-Armcd Men
Patrol Streets at Night.

Failed to MaterialiZe-Armcd Men
Patrol Streets at Night.
Blacksburg, March 29.-Following
a day Of excitement caused by the
discovery Of two negroes hanging in
a blacksmith shop, lynched by an
unknown mob last night and the
subsequent rumOr Of a possible negro
uprising Blacksburg is quiet tonight
The town is alert and prepared for
any trouble that may arise. Armed
men patrol the streets and an upris-
ing would be quickly nipped in the
bud.
The negroes are quiet. Many have
left the town and the setting Of the
sun saw those that are here going
quietly to their home. There have
been no lights shown in any Of the
negro lodge rooms.
Early in the evening Blacksburg
was filled with parties from neigh
boring towns to lend any aid neces-
sary to suppress an uprising. Some
200 Gafeney citizens arrived early in
the evening. About half that number
returned to their home after spend
ing two hours here and finding their
services and arms unnecessary.
Sheriff Thomas has spent the day
here but returned to Gaffney late to-
night, leaving a posse here to give
any necessary protection to the citi.
zens and to insure peace. Small
crowds from Gastonia. N. c., and
Kings Mountain, n. c., are in the
town.
Citizens and members Of the visit
ing delegations will patrol the streets
throughout the night although 1t
seems now that this will only be a
precautionary measure.
The days investigation has failed
to show who composed the mob that
! lynched the two negroes or whence
they came.

lynching. but this was not given
credence by the Blacksburg officials
and no precautions were taken.
Chief Allison Of the police depart
ment states that he went off duty AT
10 o'clock and that at that time the
town was perfectly quiet, and that
there was no excitement of any kind.
This morning "a clerk in a store went
to the we'll in the public square to
get a bucket of water and there
found that the rope was gone. He
reported the matter and the investi-
cations were started at the jail 1t
was then found that the door to the
council chamber had been broken
open with a sledge hammer and the
padlocks on the cell door had been
split open. The negroes were gone.
few seconds later they were found
suspended to the rafters Of a black
smith shop within less than 100 yards
OF the Jail.
Official notification was then sent
to Coroner Vinesett and Sheriff
Thomas. BY 10 o'clock Blacksburg
was filed with hundreds Of visitors
from all sections. 1t had been ex-
pected that Solicitor j. c. Otis of
Spartanburg would arrive by noon
and therefore no official action was
taken up to that time, but when he
failed to arrive the officers took
charge and the inquest was begun.
After the jury was taken to the
scene and the bodies viewed, the
bodies were cut down, which took
place at lis o'clock,
The most important piece Of evil
dence presented to the coroner's jury
was that Of a Mr.. CASTOR. Mr.. CASTOR
was on his way home last night about
midnight when he saw band of
horsemen. numbering about 10 or
IL coming into town. He did not
observe their actions. but there can
he little doubt that these were the
lynchers. A Mr.. Smythe. who lives
near the Jail testified to having heard
q sound as Of door being forced
open.
DR.. II. s. r. Ward, who exam
ined the bodies. stated that the necks
OF both negroes were broken. The
shop In which they were hanged was
not over IL feet high and 1t is evident
that several men must have borne
down on their shoulders to cause this.
The negroes hands and feet were
tied. One negro had his mouth
! stuffed full of cotton. while the 9TH
er was tied In such a manner that
the rope passed directly across his
throat, preventing any outcry.
After examining seven witnesses,
the coroner's jury decided that ii
could not come to q verdict, and
therefore took an adjournment until
Friday, April s. At 4 o'clock in the
AFTERNOON on that day the hearing
will be resumed.
Newt McCombs, n Gaffney negro,
who went to Blacksblrg this morning
was arrested there. 1t Is charged
that he was making an attempt to
incite the negroes To action against
the white people. and It is said that
he made similar attempt here be-

CHEAPER INSURANCE.


 The installing of nansal sa". with the many conveniences l. brings. and the advantages 1t has oye~ ether forms of fuel should also have an advantage Of lowering the insurance rates here
 There is no doubt but that Ghere is less fire risk now in Hot Springs than there was before.
 In houses heated by the gas stoves. theAe have been probably no less than 1000 changes from wood and coal stoves, with all their dangerous details. to the gas stove.
 It ought to be safe to say that loo furnaces in the city are now being heated by gas which were formerly heated with coal or wood fires.
 The insurance men of the city prob. ably realize this great advantage. and if they would cooperate with the Business Mems league. the two to- gether might secure a fire insurance reduction that would save much mon ey to our people, and which as nat lral result would increase the insur- ance business through causing many to hold policies who now regard the rate as too high.
 Under present conditions we have but one disadvantage when confla- grafton has to be fought. and that is a general lack of public alleys run ming through the city blocks. enabling 4he firemen readily to get at the rear as we'll as the frcnt of g burning building.
 Most cities. and particularly the newer ones and the newer districts of the old. are so supplied. but despite this drawback fires of the most for midable description are seldom allow cd to spread beyond the building
 Of course there are various differ. ing risks. With large districts built up of brick and stone and with other large districts built of wood there are widely different degrees of fire risk. and. then. the nature of the business carried off in different locali. ties should be taken int0 considera. tion
 Under all the circumstances which exist here today we siAttttia have as low rates as any other city Tor the same character of risks, and certain. " as low rates as are consistent with the proper security of property and at the same time will allow the in. surers to make a fair return on their business
