OFFICER ASSAULTED.
Three Negro Men Attack and Bea,
Deputy Sheriff McCants.

On Wednesday evening of last
week, between 7 and 8 o'clock, Depu-
ty Sheriff L w McCants, while at
tempting 70 arrest Dave Cooper, a
negro, at his home near Rough Branch
church, 4 miles from Cades, was as
saulted by Cooper and two other ne
groes, Lewis Broom and Harrison
Witherspoon. and severely beaten.
1t is believed that he narrowly es-
capped being murdered. A warrant
had been sworn out for Cooper by
Mr. w E Nesmith of Cades charging
him with fraudulent intent and Sher-
iff Graham sent his deputy, Mr. Nc
Cants, to arrest the negro.
Cooper had been to Lake City with
a load of tobacco and had just re-
turned home loaded with liquor, ac-
companied by Brown and Withers-
poon. When Mr. McCants placed Coop

Mans Body Found In Swamp.
Walterboro, August II THE body
of Aquila Blocker, a young man of
81 years, was found in a small swamp
about six miles from Walterboro yes
terday with a gunshot wound in his
head. M Lemacks, another young
man of the same community, has
been committed to trial charged with
the supposed crime.
Blocker left home on Saturday, it
is said, with q considerable sum of
money to purchase cattle. He did
not return that night, but his people
were not alarmed until his mule and
dog returned on Sunday morning.
A search was Immediately insti-
tuted. A lady in the community, it
is said, remembered seeing Lemacks
and Blocker enter a small swamp
nearby and later heard gun fire,
which, at the time, she paid no at
tention to.

tackled him, taking his revolver and
throwing him to ground, Cooper get
ting on top Of the officer. Kelley
Brown, a more peaceably inclined
old negro appeared on the scene and
took Cooper off Mr. McCants.
Cooper snatched the officers revol-
yer from the hand of Witherspoon
and ran behind Mr. McCants, who
heard Witherspoon cry out to Coop
er not to shoot. The most painful
injury received by Mr. McCants was
caused by blow across the back OF
his right hand with large stick,
which broke several of the bones.
Mr. McCants returned to Kingstree
without his prisoner, who is still at
large, but Brown and Witherspoon
were later arrested and are being
held as parties to the assault.
The negro Cooper was disposing
of his crop preparatory to leaving
the State and defrauding his landlord.

later arrested by United States
marshal, charged with violating the
white slave law and is now under
bond.
Third: That after his conviction,
Mr. ] D King was notified by one OF
the ministers of our town, in order
that he, an innocent party, might
not suffer financial loss on account
of his brothers conduct,as we knew
he must inevitably do unless he got
King out of the business and
out of the town. We leave it to
YOU. kind reader, to say whether OF
not this was fair and just to ) u
King. Mr. ] D King came here at
once on receipt of this letter, and
was thoroughly advised as to the
sentiment of our people. He stated
that he knew how his brother had
been living; that he did not blame
the good people here for their ac-
ton. He further assured them
that his brother would not bring
another woman in his home unless
legally married to her; and that
there would be no gambling, nor
selling of intoxicating liquors on the
premises of his warehouse. We
thought he meant what he said; but,
alas, erelong the feelings OF our
people were outraged by the COM
ing of another woman into the home
of R H King for a three days stay.
Now, this man, R H King, is part,
ner of his brother, j D King, in the
tobacco business and as such shares
the profits of the business.
You cannot patronize j D King
without patronizing the other, ,neith'
er can one be injured without loss to
the other. J D King had two months
before the tobacco season opened tc
dissolve the co-partnershlp Wlt.l MS
brother. Why didn't he do it? Many
of their best friends in the country
have deserted them, and are urging
their neighbors to do go; not because
the citizens of Lake City have lied
on him. as he would have you be-
lieve, but because they are lovers OF
home and righteousness; and, there,
fore, will not patronize man OF
such gross immortality as his broth
er. This is a fight for Righteousness:
and is proving a triumph for zoo
and morality. The injury of their
business is simply an incident, not
the object of this fight. Lot lost
money by the destruction of Sodom
so Mr. King is losing by aligning him

LYNCHED BY MOB OF 1000.
Laurens CitlzensTake Vengeance
on Negro for Heinous Crime.

Laurens, August 1l:-A mob OF
1000 men tonight at 11:S0 O'Clock
lynched Richard Puckett, young
negro charged with criminal assault.
After overpowering the Sheriff and
his deputies the mob broke down
two doors of the Jail, one to a steel
cage, and securing the negro. carried
him to a railway trestle near the pas
senger station, where he was strung
up to beam. Several hundred shots
were fired into his body. The mob
then quietly dispersed. Just before
he was killed. the negro denied his
guilt. Sheriff John V Owings said
tonight that the negro had confessed
to him during the afternoon. The
confession, it is said, was not made
known to the attacking crowd.
At lonely spot on country road
two miles from Laurens, at | o'clock
this morning, the negro attacked a
, well-known young woman of the
county. He dragged her from bug
gy as she was driving to Laurens.
The negro was crouched under some
bushes and after she had passed, he
ran and ordered her to halt. She
called to her brothers, who were fol-
lowing in another buggy. The negro
fled. She drove on to Laurens and
stopped at the home of R A Cooper,
Solicitor. No general alarm was CIV
en-, but a search was begun by the
officers. Going just beyond the place
of attack the officers found several
negroes at a house. Richard Pickett
walked away from the house and So
licitor Cooper directed that ne be
held. When taken before the young
woman she could not possibly ident-
ify him. The negro was carried to
Laurens and placed in Jail under a
heavy guard.
At 7 o'clock tonight bloodhounds
from the State penitentiary were
brought to Laurens and placed on
the trail. The dogs trailed the ne
gro from the scene of the crime to
the house where he was found by
the officers.
At9 o'clock about fifty men ad-

vanced on the Jail. Sheriff Owings
refused to give up the prisoner.
They broke down a wooden door in
the rear and proceeded to the second
floor. where the negro was confined
in a steel cage. The door was soon
battered down. The Sheriff and his
deputies were overpowered.
The body was left tonight swing
ing to the beam of the trestle and
the inquest will probably be held to-
morrow,

CITIZENS OF LAKE CITY
REPLY TO J. D. KING.
CLAIM THAT OPPOSITION TO HIS
FIRM IS BASED ON MORAL
GROUNDS.
Editor County Record

EOllOI OOUuIy 1SSOAu'
In a recent issue of your paper
under the caption, An Open Letter
in Defence of My Business, I'VE note
that Mr. ] D King has charged a
number of citizens of Lake City
with deep-laid plot to injure his
tobacco business. Therefore, we
feel that the public should Judge
this matter. and draw their conclu-
s:sns from the facts, which are
matter of record.
As matter of fact, there is no
JD King doing a tobacco warehouse
business here, but there is a J D
King & Company; and, we presume,
that Mr. ] D King, in his willy way,
proposes to defend the company by
puttlnghimself forward as the whole
firm. But you cannot fool all the
people all the time, and the sooner
MIR J D King finds this out the
smoother the troubled waters will
he.
Mr. King says that the people
have seized upon the acts of his
brother, and through his wrong-do-
ing, are trying to ruin and destroy
his business. Who is his brother!
Why, fellow citizens, he is the Com
.1pany when ] D King is here. Elk.
cept when the cash is to be handed
out, he is ] D King and Company
1t reminds US of Lot trying to es.
cape from Sodom. But why should
the good people here condemn MS
brother? For the following reasons;
First: That R H Kings life and
manner of living became so repul.
sive and reprehensible to all lovers.of
decency as to cause an uprising OF
the best people of our town, solely
ON moral grounds, and in defense OF
our homes.
Second: That he was arraigned,
tried and convicted in the Mayors
court on the following charge: Be
ing in, visiting. frequenting and in
habiting bawdy house, upon the
evidence under oath of some of the
best people of our town. He was

is to blame?
Now Mr. j D King appeals to the
country people to sustain the busi-
ness of ] D King & Company. He
seems to assume that vice and i'm
morality are less offensive to the
country people than to town people.
Is such the case? We do not think
so. The Kings are in business for
the money that they can get out of
it. We have made this fight solely
for the protection of our homes and
the virtue of our women. Fellow
citizens, are we right or wrong? We
are making this fight on the fact
known to US, depending for support
only upon the moral sense of the
good people of the country, and they
have responded as the facts became
known to them. We appeal to the
good people everywhere to judge be-
tween US. If Baal be God, serve
him; if the Lord be God, then serve
Him" J H BLACKWELL,

PRESIDENT HUERTA

Agrees to Appointment of Pedro Lascurain to Succeed Him to

Mexico City, Mex, April l.-- Provisional President Huerta has agreed to resign and favors the appointment of Pedro Lascurain as provisional president in order to harmoniZe the many factions in Mexico, most of whom are hos tile to Huerta, and also because of the impossibility of securing recognition of the present gov ernment of Mexico.
 Huerta has never been able to overcome the handicap to his ad- ministration of the murder of former President MaderO and his vice-president. The United States government has so far refused to recognize his provisional gOvern- mcnt and thus has prevented his securing enough money to fight the rebels. while, on the oth- CT hand, it has been ascertained that the constitutionalists of the northern states are well supplied with money and arms, supposed ly by the mining interests of those states, controlled by Americans and Europeans.

The bil! carried the Alaska education ap- propriation, the judiciary appro- priation, the purchase of the ca ble site at Seward, money for the protection of fish in Alaska and the prevention of bootlegging and many other appropriations need ed in all parts of the nation.
 The Times dcnounces PoindeX- ter in strong language and claims he had other means of punishing the police department of Wash ington for it's failure to protect the sutfragettes as they paraded down Pennsylvania avenue than by talking to death the civil sun- dry bill.
