THE NEW PENSION RULES
Further Discussion of Seeming Hard
Conditions of Proof.

Editor Yorlville Enquirer,
Mrs. w. L. Whitesidcs's letter Of
yesterday voiced my sentiments so
completely, that | would like to say
so through your columns. haf'
thought for sometime that some one
ought to speak out in the old soldiers
behalf, and now that Mrs. White
sides, has started the ball tc rolling,
1 hope 1t will be kept so until the
wrctched business is brought to a
speedy finish.
We believe it would be Of interest
to the public to know who constitutes
this pension board, and Glso what their
idea is to create 60 much anxiety,
trouble, anC expense to these aged
veterans. We presume they have oll
in time had their pension papers
made out and properly signed, and
why trouble them again about the
matter We wonder what worthy
cause the board has in view, should
they be successful in depriving these
veterans Oh InclT OueS NeiC tliC q
few who do not need this money as
livelihood, but there arc many who do
need it, and it's all they have which
they car call their own, and 1t Is in
behrlt of those make this plea. There
may be q few who are unworthy, but
would it not be more honor to us to
ply these few this small allowance
than Deprive the. many who are
worthy. We wonder what the young
veterans of the late war think OF
these proceedings. We wonder IL they
have imagination enough at their COM
mand to conceive of the future gene
ration treating them in this manner.
feel sure there are many who will
agree with us in this matter and i
hope they will speak out in behalf OF
those whom we wish to honor and
respect before it is too late.

we people who grow cotton will COM

an individual must go up, single hand

What chance has he got? None. we
are bound to find some means to act

Of the people.
Here Senator McLaurin took up the
question: of foreign exchange and
showed how impossible 1t was to sell
cotton abroad unless we took foreign
Foods in exchange. He showed how
easy 1t was to sell cotton in Germany
at more than so cents per pound and
take potash in payment and this should
ell be done through the state ware
house system. He discussed the price
of cotton and said that it depended
on the farmers acting as unit and

Noted Lynohing Case Recalled,
AS strange and weird as Is this race
conflict incident out in Arkansas,
there is nothing new or unusual in it.
Similar incidents have occurred quite
frequently before in the history of the
country, some during slavery times
and some since. Some have been on a
many times larger scale and some
on smaller scale. 1t has not been a
great while, only little more than
thirty years. that something very
similar occurred In York county. 1t
was in the winter Of 1SS6-S7, to be
more accurate. A little white boy,
Lee Good, was murdered in his fathers
pasture down in Bullock's Creek
township. The beaten and bruised
body bore evidence CT the fiendish
brutality of the crime; but it took an
extensive investigation to bring out
the truth as to by whom the murder
was perpetrated and the motive. 1t all
came out. The boy haG seen Bailey
Dowdle, Prindy Thomson, Nose Lips
comb and Dan Roberts stealing cotton
from the field. and to keep him from
telling on them they killed him. Little
by little It was disclosed that the
negroes had a. considerable organiza-
tion under the leadership of one Giles
Good, a negro of much influence
among his fellows, and the principal
object of the organization was, as one
of the members put 1t, when some
Of us get into trouble for the rest to
swear us OUT 1t came out also, from
the testimony of those implicated,
that different prominent white men of
the neighborhood had been marked for
assassination. or course the people
of the Bullock's Creek neighborhood
were tremendously stirred, as were
the people of other sections Of the
county. They waited patiently until
there had been developed all the in
formation that could be developed, and
then one night they came to Yorkville,
a hundred or more strong for the pur-
pose of lynching those who had been
implicated. The negroes had been
spirited off to Columbia, in the mean
time; but when they were brought
back to Yorkville the following spring.
the mob attacked the jail, took the five
men out about half mile, and hung
them on a big oak tree. That was the.
end Of the swear EN- -out I. organiza-
ton in the Bullock's Creek section.
Just how many negroes really belonged
to the organization was never known.
although it was certain that there were
others. Baily Dowdi Nose Lips
comb, Prindy Thomson and Dan
Roberts, all boys from IS to 20 years
of age, were lynched for their direc;
connection with the lynchins OF the
little Good boy. Giles Good, aged
about fifty, was lynched because Of
leadership. 1t was not considered
worth while to disturb any Of the
others.
