TWO INEGROS LYNCHED
IN CHEROKEE COUNTY
Accused of bilking u Young White
Man Commit an Unmentionable
Crime. Town now Quiet.
Blacksburg, March 29.?Frank
Whlsonant und .loo Brinson, negroes,
against whom a young white man
lodged the charge that they had got
ten him drunk and caused him to
commit an unprintable crime, were
lynched In this town last night some
time between midnight and dawn.
Who composed the mob is a mystery
the authorities have been unable so
far to solve.
The bodies of the negroes were
discovered early today swinging from
rafters in a deserted blacksmith shop
within ti .stone's throw of the guard
house from which they had been
taken. The officer who had been
left to guard the prisoners says he
left his post at midnight, there being
no indication that an attempt would
be made to lynch the men, although
there had been considerable talk of
violence in the afternoon and earlier
part of the evening. At one time
yesterday it was suggested that the
negroes be taken from Blacksburg to
Gaffney, the county seat, for safe
keeping but after conferring with au
thorities here tho sheriff agreed that
the men should remain in Blacksburg
to answer to a minor charge.
This morning when the stores were
opened, a 'clerk went to the public
well in the public square to get a
pail of water and it was then dis
covered that tho well rope was gone.
He at once reported tho mnttor to
Mayor Rnmsour and a trip was made
to the City jail. There it was found
that the entrauco to the council
chamber had been forced open with
a sledge hammer further in tho
building the two padlocks oT the cell
door were found broken open. The
negroes woro gone. Short search
then revealed them, hanging to the
rafters of a blacksmith shop, less
than 100 yards from the jail. Their
hands and foot were bound, one ne
gro had his mouth stuffed with cot
ton, while the other was so bound
that the ropes went around his
mouth, preventing any outcry.
Official notification was at once
'sent to Sheriff Thomas and he with
Coroner Vlnesotl and the deputy
sheriffs enmo to tho scone, The soli
citor, .lames ('. Otts of Spa rl an burg,
was expected and therefore no ac
tion was taken until the train came
ami when the solicitor failed to ar
rive, the inquest was begun, the
bodies being cut down exactly at 1:1"..
At the inquest, the most important
piece of evidence presented was that
I of a Mr. Huston, who swore that he
! was on his way home, near midnight,
last night, lie saw a band of horse
men, number some 10 or 15 approach
ing from the direction of Gaffney, lb1
I was unable to give any report of their
I actions alter they came into the main
i part of town.
After hearing all the evidence, the
I coroner's jury decided that thoy
Could not render a verdict and there
fore an adjournment was taken un
til Friday. April 5, on which day the
inquest will he resumed, the hour
being set at I p. in.
Newt McCoinhs. a negro from
Gnffnoy, came over this morning
ami it is alleged that he was making
an effort to incite the negroes of the
town to deeds of violence against the
white popple. He was arrested and
and on his person was found a pistol
and two boxes of new cartridges. He
was hold in jail, under gunrd until
noon, when he was sent to the coun
ty jail in Gaffney for sale keeping.
The town is in grci i excitement.
Hundred.; of visitors have come in
j today from all parts. Liberal delega
tions have been present from Gaffney
and also from North Carolina towns.
The general sentiment of the poo
pie of Blackshut'ti Is against the lynch
ing and many of them have come
straight out and stated that they did
not believe that the act was committed
by Blncksburg people.
Tonight things are becoming more
quiet but there is still intense ex
citemont. Not a negro in the town
is willing to work and several plants
have been forced to practically shut
down. No negro would assist in
burying the two who were lynched
and the coroner was finally forced to
hire White men for the job. The ne
groes of the town seem to be very1
sullen and It is feared by some that
thero may he a move of some kind
made by the colored population. It
is said that a number of the men of
the town will keep a watch through
out the night.
Negroes Desert Blncksburg.
Spartanburg, March 29.?A tele
phone message from Blacksburg at

sheriff of Cherokee county has Just

dition In the vicinity of Hopewell
Church, where the ncgrOOS were re

sign of a mob in that vicinity. A
negro employed in a Blncksburg fam
ily is said to have told his employer
early in (he evening that the negroes
were planning to set fire to the town
durlug the night. This report car
ried to Blacksburg a hundred i..*m
from Gaffney and 25 or more from
('ow|)cns, all heavily armed.
