MAN AND WOMAN
" BEATEN BY NEGROES
CONTINUED from page one)

According to long distance mes
sage from Chappells this morning,
early yesterday the two negroes who
are alleged to have committed the
assault, applied for job on a road
gang near there, claiming that they
had come from Abbeville. They fail
ed to secure work and are thought
to have remained in hiding in she
woods until dusk, when the assault
upon the aged couple and the rob-
berry of the store was committed.
They asked a negro on the road
where H. Johns lived, it is stated.
The two negroes are said to have
gone into the store and asked II.
Johns for some canned goods. When
he turned to get it one Of them
struck him a blow over the head with
the railroad spike club. Hearing the
sound of the old mans body falling,
his wife rushed in from an adjoin.
ing room and was also struck in the
head with the spikes. Both the old
people were then beaten almost into
insnsibility and the store robbed, re.
ports say.
1t is thought that the old man will
die, reports from him this morning
state. He is being given medical at.
tention. at his home. His wife is al.
so severely injured.
The two old people have been run.
ming a store near Vaughanville for a
number of years. II. Johns was ma.
tive German, who came to this
country years ago and settled where
he now lives.
Officers throughout this section
have been notified to keep lookout
for the negroes. They are making an
effort to locate the tall, yellow negro
implicated in the alleged confession
of the negro arrested at New Mar.

WEDNESDAY,. SEPT, IA, 1921
THE LAW SUFFICIENT:

We do not suppose that those per:
sons who composed the mob which
sought to lynch the slayers OF young
Brazell intended to do more than take
the life of each of the men who
helped commit the crime. Their view
of the matter, if they had any fixed
view in the matter, was that these
three men were deserving Of death
for the offense which they had COM
mitted.
The court has adjudged that these
men, the slayers of BRAZIL, are gull
:ty Of murder. They have had a fair
trial, we assume, in the court of the
bounty where the offense was COM
mitted. So far as we are able to
fudge there was no unusual excite
ment attending the trial, and the men
were given the opportunity to pre-
sent any facts which, might have
been adduced in their favor. The
court has sentenced these three men
to death.
Those who made up the mob may
well consider the results obtained.
What they sought has been accom-
plished by the orderly process of the
court. Those who sought to stain their
hands with the blood of the three
men have been spared the regrets
which must have followed the taking
of the lives of three men by mob ac-
ton; they have been saved from
charge of murder, charge if not
presented by.a grand jury, muet needs
have been presented at one time or
another by their own consciences. If
any Of them are, thoughtful men, and
everyone should examine himself at
times, each of these men must real
ize today how much more satisfac-
tory is the result Of the cases than
would have been the case had the mob
had its way.
! The mob must be condemned,
THAT is as a mob. The individuals
who compose the mob must be made
I to. know that they violate the law
when they undertake to execute the
law themselves. This may be done
without needlessly abusing men who
from-one cause or. another are some
times misguided, and whose efforts
are misdirected. Perhaps nothing
has happened recently that is more
calculated to>cause these men to hes
;.itate and think than the event of
the trial in Lexington yesterday. It
were well that men who are disposed
to find fault with the administration
of justice in the courts consider the
result of these trials. .. F.

CLEMSON ANSWERS
Best Time To Cut Peavine Hay
When Pods Two -Thirds Ripe.

What is the best time to cut pea
vine hay?-J. R. W., Dillon. -
From feeding standpoint the,
ideal time to cut pea-vine hay is
when the pods are about two-thirds
full. When cut at this stage the
maximum amount of feed per acre
is obtained. Pea vine hay cut while
it i sin bloom is very palatable and
makes very satisfactory feed, but it:
does not make as much feed per acre.
as when cut when the pods are two
thirds filled.
