a few days utter I was appointed, a
white man visit***! mo. On the .'list of

o'clock iu the night. 1 was lying in
my bed. I beard som*' oneeall at the
door, ami ask Mrs. Mary Adams
where waa her hosband, (Mi*. Robt.
Adams. I and she told them he (Mr.
Adams,) was at church. They then.
naked her where was Tom Finley.
She told them sh*' thought lie (Mr.
Finley,) was in the room. 1 then
gut out ol my bed, and looked
through ti crack and saw a crowd of
Whits armed men, standing t iiere
with guns, pistols and large clubs, in
their hands. I then jumped out of
Window, and ran away tr.un

Token. They
threw nie down upon th*' ground,
and eaught me hy my bauds,iir.-igp-d
me .m my stomach about four hun?
dred yards, and they then stripped
nie nak*>*l ami lieat DM with barbed
ts, until 1 was very bloody.
They had teeth like a .-ross .-ut saw.
ked them what were they bcat
m*l murdering me for. They said,
"Ion want tt) be Tost Master do
you, and we do mit intend for you or
any other damn negro to ever be
Cost Master; also, i *y did not in?
tend to allow any da a,n Radical of
any race sver to I Master
here tit Abbeville C. H.. S. C. They
told me after they null hon ting me,
that 1 must leave the Stat*' that
night, and if 1 was taught in the
State again, 1 wo dd be killed. They
left me, then started away; they
got off a piece, and raine back to me
and saith you must get away from
hers to-night. 1 u>l.i them that 1
Could not leave that night Ix-vause
my leg was broken. G. A.Shillitosaid,
"you area damned li;n .'- I said," You
eau look, and see for yourself." He
(HhDlito) struck a match, looked,
and said again, you ar*' a damned
liar, you are putting on. ami if you
ate found in town to-morrow morning
J*ou will be killed. They then left Ha?
ying upon the ground to die, 1
was in great pains, with the wounds,
ami I thought, I would be sure to
die right there.
I wanted to drink, but eould not
is>>r any. 1 lay there until between
lJan.ll o'clock that night, when
two colored men, Messrs. Thomas
Brown and Howard Taylor .ame
along, 1 railed to them, ami they
to me.
I TOLD MY TKOIHLKS.
took me up, und tallied DBS to
>bt.Adams' house. 1 then ask*-*!
(hem to go for the doetor. They
went and returned and said they
eould not find the doctor. I laid there
all night, in great pain. The next
morning the doctor came in to see
me about ten o'clock, examined my
leg, and said it was badly broken.
I asked him if he thought he could
.? my life. He said, he could. I
tohl him that, I was in ti very bad
eoadition, and if he thought he
eould not wive my life, I would be
very glad for him to let me know it,
because I was not afraid to die. 1
further stated to him, that I would
rather the mob would have
killed me, than to have left me in
in this condition. I thought thc
doctor was going to make a. job out
of my leg, one that I would In
proud of, and proud to show it tc
any one, but he left it in sn* ii a con?
dition that I am ashamed to show it
to any one. The mob asked me H
I was going to tell any one wbc
beat me, I tohl them no I nevei
would tell any one who beat me
They said, if 1 .lid tell it to any
body I would "lie sure to be killed
W. S. ('othilia ami ll. A. Shillitc
mad*'tins.' threats. Th*' Hon. .las
S. Cothran denies that I was mobbet:
on the account of the Ablievilh
Post Office. Says that I made ai
untrue statement in my petitioi
against Mrs. Law son, ami the boy.*
J$
only came to tease me about it. Be?
ing guilty l {amped out of Mm house
and tie*!, ran into the railroad tres?
tle, ami broke my l**g. The Hon.
Judge ought to be very careful how
he makes that statement, when he
renienilKTs the hit*' of Amianias ami
Sapphira. I want to ask the Hon.
.ludgeufew ?piestions. If the boys
meant only to teas*' nat, why did
they come after night? Why did
they .onie armed with rocks, pistols,
guns ami clubs? No they eanie to
do just the kimi of teasing they did
do, and that wai to mob nie about
nhs Abbeville l'ost Orri**?.
The Negroes of the South are sub?
ject to such teasing by white mobs.
The Hon. Judge has found a very
?SSS nam*' for mob**, because his
son Wade S. Cothrau is on*' of the
worst t< here is in th*' State
of South Carolina. When a N
is mobbed about Abbeville, you al?
ways rim! him at the head of th*'
<_rnno-. The Judge further states that
I showed guilt by running. I wish to
ask him oneniore question. Had you
!>*>en aroused at night, rinding your
house surrounded by a Negro mob
twenty OT thirty strong, armed to
the teeth, having no way to defend
yourself, would you not have Bed to
saveyourlifetoo".' Yes you would have
fled, and left your wife sad children.
I ditl not flee because I wa** guilty,
nor afraid, but I knew very well
that I was overpowered, and just
what I was going to receive tit the
hands of that band of "tensors," as
you style them.
I never made any untrue stn fo?
ment in my petition against Mrs. F.
.1. hawson. Every statement 1
made in my petition ag.ainst Mrs.
Lawson te true beyond contradiction.
Any man that denies the statement,
surely does mit mean to toll the
truth about the whole matter. They
never named anything, about any
Untrue statement in my petitions
(?gannet Mrs. Lawson on that night.
I desire to refresh
thi: ji ju;k's mkmokv
about thia tsanwng non of his. How
in 1884 OC L88u he teased Elijah
Jones.by enticing him into one of the
stores at Abbeville C. H., S. C. ami
then "teased" him by wilfully ami
maliciously shooting him, .ind com?
ing vrry near killing him, for no
other reason than for voting th*' Re?
publican ticket.
All Inn ding colored men in South
Carolina, catch such teasing as Eli
jahJoites and Lat the hands ot Wads
S. Cot bran and his murderous i
ing mobs.

untrue, as regards to how 1 was l>ent
en almost to death. Hut thank God I
am hen' at the National Capital
where I can be Interviewed at any
time, ami by any body. The condi?
tion that my body is in. speaks for
itself in marks of violence, anti brok?
en born's, tit the hands of the ("Casing
Wade S. Cot bran and his confeder?
ate's. Thaws wounds will carry me to
my grave. 1 do not make this
statement for any political excite
inent,but I am const ruined to .lo so,
because the sad and cruel condition
to which we,our wives and daughters
are placed, is a truth that the intel?
ligent timi law abiding people of our
Republic ought to know. The Negroes'
crime is that they are faithful and
true Republicans. Now we expect
protection in oar civil ami political
rights, as good American citizens of
our friends, the Republican party. I
have b*t'ii landing among my race
for the last twenty-two years I was
pointed with them in leagues,
private and public in**etin?j-s. I never
advised nor hear*l it advised that
colored tuen should burn the white
people's barna and houses, and com?
mit murder upon the white people at
night, when they were asleep.
If the whiten would accord to the
colored people, their rights, fi vii and
political, the South would lie tis
Prosperous and happy as the North,
entreat the white and colored peo?
ple of th*' North to rise in their
might of justice, and see that we
colored people have our civil and
political rights as any other Ameri?
can citizens. We ask BO more, nor
Further-more, here are more
outrages of such ''teasing" in South
Carolann as Judge Cothranstyled the
hot headed young men of Abbeville,
South Carolina. These
WHITE MOBS
wait until late hours in the night
niter all the colored people are gone
to bed and asleep. 1 hey then go and
burst open the colored people's doors
and go in, tussault their wives and
daughters, ami outrage them, ant!
draw their pistols, poke them into
their husbands' fact's, ami say to
them, "If you ever say a word about
this transaction, yon will be Ulled,
you damned old rascal." I have
known colored men to be bonton
on the Streets of Abbeville, until
they wen bloody, for no other cause
only their wives had lieen outraged
by t hose mobs, and their husbands
happened to Jannah about it on tbs
Streets Their husbands had to take
their families and Mee to other States
to save their lives. When a colored
man luis a family, and raises nice
girls, nftsr they become fourteen
OT fifteen years of age, when they go
to the churches, young colored
I men, will go home with them.
When they start home from the
church tit night, these white mobs
will lay in wait with Winchester ri?
fles, pistols and dubs in their hands,
until these girls start home with
their company, then thens mobs will
come up out of the bushes and tell
I the young colored men that they
must not lie caught with the young
colored lathes any more, and if they
are ca light with them again, they
?[ will be whipped, or they will-be kill
*mI. These young women nt the
same time protest against such brut?
al steps taken against their vina.
and reputation. They, themselves,
for protesting, are in many instn
taken and whipped until they un?
bloody. Here is a case in tioint.
On the llth of May last, W. J. Lo?
max, Thomas Lomax and Willie
Winuns, colored, were in company
with some young colored ladies, as
their escorts, it beiug Satin
night. They were insulted by a
white mob of Abbeville, S. C. They
remonstrated aud protested, ami
for this protest they were on the fol?
lowing Sumlav arrested and
lilU(i*iKI?TO JAIL
ii*- whit*' militia, who were order?
ed out with their Winchester rifles:
timi th*-; ini*K?'d with carrying
concealed wea pone They wars
kept Kn jail three mouths on the
above mentioned pretext of uprising,
when in fact they were thus treated
becanas they were not .lisp*ised to
submit to t hs insult** of white mobs,
against them and their young lady
friends.
They furthei charged the colored
minister at Abbeville, Rev. E. W.
Williams of the Colored Presbyterian
Church, with udeishsW thean young
eoiored men tO stand up for their
yoting ladies' virtue; ami for this he
tans forced to move from his house
into his church and school-house,
thinking thereby to protect himself
and family from the infuriated mob.
They hat! already shot into his
house, attempting to shoot him for
wishing the protection of the virtu*'
of colored women from white mob
violence in Abbeville. In years gone
by. whan Hon. J. s. Cothrnn was on
tbs Indicia] bench, I had much re
sjH-ct for him. believing him to lie as
fair a judge as he was allowed to be.
But since bis advent into politics, I
am sure hs rms counteimiuvdand ad?
vised wrongs to nie and my mee.
His own children (boys) engaged in
it, ami if he bad told them to stop
and not do thaw wrongs, they
WOUld have obeyed him; but instead,
h*' encourage*! them to go on ami
commit thens midnight, murderous
wrongs ttpon law-abiding Republi?
cans of my race.
1 tun partly paralyzed. Some?
times 1 can write and at other times
1 can not. Now, I beg of the jieople
of the North, both Whit*: and Color
*m1, "Oh. how long, how long shall
these murderous outrages last?
Shall they last until God will va
?host from l?ea\ 'ight j
and just "^*1
er in whit
erv statement that 1 have made
against the South is true. This con?
dition of things is going on all over
the South, [reply toa statement
mad*' in the St. Louis "Republic"
from Congressman Cothrnn. It is
trnsthat Judge Cothrun met nie tit
Greenville, S. C., about sixty miles
from Abbeville, and curried dm
lunn*' to Abbeville, It cost bim two
dollars ami five cents. I paid him
back two dollars and twenty-five
cents. 1 than bought n ticket at Ab
In'ville on tba '2nd day of March,
l^S'.i, to bring nie to Washington
and return ma to Abbeville on the
Sth of March, but when 1 reached
(Jr**en ville, S. C. on that day. I was
too late for the train that would car?
ry me to Abbeville on the 8th. I
hud to lay over in Greenville all that
night. On the next morning, when 1
Started home on the train, the con?
ductor looked nt my ticket and said,
"your ticket was out last night, ami
1 cannot let you pass on it to-day."
Judge Cot bran was on the train and
1 asketl him to carry nie home. He
did so. As to my being dirty, hun?
gry am! weary, it is untrue, ami an
infamous li*'. And nato meeting me
at a railroad station in Virginia, is
untrue, also.
Judge Cothran, here is a question,
anti I hope you will answer it. The
first report made about my leg
liebig broken was that a colored
woman lani taken me out, lieut me
and
UltOKE MY LEU?
The second report was that 1 was
running acrOnWtbs railroad track,
slipped, fell and broke my leg. Now,
Judge, which one of these two state?
ments is true? They both cannot
be true, you very well know. Your
firovision of food for me is not true,
teyond contradiction. Judge Coth?
ran said that I hat! made some per?
sonal charges against Mrs. Law?
son's character. Jutlge Cothran
.-alls himself a gentleman and a
truthful man. I do not see how he
? an utter any such words about my
making personal charges against
Mrs. Lawson, because he knows very
well, inti*'***!, that every statement he
has made about it is untrue from the
beginning to the end. As to*her per?
sonal character. I think she has as
good a one as any woman living.
Here is another question that I
would like to ask the honorable
Judge:
lt had becomes common saying
around Abbeville last January and
February, a year ago: "If any
.1-d Negro lie appointed postmas?
ter here at Abbeville, he will be sure
to lie killed." Why were these re?
marks made at that tillie? Had
any charge beeu made against Mrs.
Lawson?
When I presented my petition to
colored persons, many of them
would refuse to sign it, saying they
had heard so many threats by th*
white people, that if a colored man
waa appointed postmaster here, he
would be sure to get killed, that
they wara afraid that I (Finley)
would he killed. That was their rea?
son for not signing my petition. I
do not know what course
may take, but as for i
lilierty or give me sal
dent
