known as a place where law and
order prevailed and proud of
their untarnished record in the
past. They declare that the
mob was composed of less than
half dozen, none of whom were
Winnsboro people. They do not
hesitate to say that the whole

been parallel by the Hillsville,

foretold a determination to wipe
out the stain which had unWit-
tingly fallen upon them by
