Three of tbe negroes who commit-
ted an aasault upon Mrs. Kightler of
(iaston, S. C.. were lynched on the
SO, Will Tompson, an overgrown 16
year boy, was caught near Columbia
and taken to Gaston, where his cap
tors were met by a mob of 200 peo-
ple, who were joined by 100 men
from Columbia, Tompson confessed
that be and Andy Kaigler, all colored,
committed the crime. The crowd,
proposed to nail him up in a turpeu
tine barrel and burn him, but instead
he waa hanged to a small tree, lie
fore Uie hanging Arch Hightler, hus-
band of the women, laid fifty lashes
upon tbe wretch's bare back with
heavy buggy trace, every blow bring-
ing tbe blood. When he got tired
another man took bis place and
continued tbe whipping. Thompson
could not yell, as a rope around his
neck choked him.
After hangins him 100 men fired
Into his body with pistols, shotguns
and rifles. Hardly a square inch of
bis body escaped is bullet.
A few hours afterwards, Preston
waa captured eleven miles from (>as
ton and taken to tbe scene of the
trtgedy. Here the Thompiion lynch
ing was re-enacted. Preston was
stripped and pinioned to a small
scaffold, which hsd also served for
Thompson. Arch Kightler with the
same heavy buggy trace beat tbe un
fortunate wretch, and when he was
exhausted the whipping was uontln
ued by other* of the mob until tbe
negro's entire body was a mass of
bleeding flesh. After Preston had
regained consciousness, he was strung
up to tbe same limb to which
Thompson hail been been bung four
hours before and his body riddled
with bullets.
Tbe third negro engsgsd in the
outrage of Mrs. Kightler, was bang-
ad to tbe same Use as tbe other two

Now, Mr Kditor, dou't frawn be-
cause you see me coming. Why,
just stop and think a moment, what
a nice long rest 1 have given you.
If seetus age* ago since my Inst chat
with you. Hope you are not very
tuuch disappointed at the return of
your troublesome "Visitor." Hut it
seems as though your other corres-
pondents from this vicinity have
taken wings aud flew away, and as
we do not wish to sink into entire
obliviou, thought I would come
agaiu.
Now this is really too bad. Just
as 1 had begun to write all my grand
aud lofty thoughts deserted inc. So
I will only ssy a few polite nothings,
and best a lissty retreat.
The most important topic for con-
versation aud the one we feel most
interested in is the weather. Kvery
thing is distressingly dry, and stock
is sufferiug for both water and gras*,
but every now ami then we see a few
cloud* in the distance, which keeps
us in good cheer, hoping our time
will come after awuile.
We were glad to have "Sunshine"
beam on us last week. Wish the in-
vitaliou lo eat water melons had hecu
more widely extended, but as we
never like for auy one lo be more
polite thau we are, we invite you
out to eat grapes (Mu*laug,) we
have a great many of litem aud you
will be more than welcome.
A couple of gentlemen from Has-
trop were out in this vicinity hunting
a short time since, were right *uc-
cessful in capturing squirrels, and

Mrs. Smith, of Hills I'rairie, has
ty paralysed in death. The news uf his
death w as indeed a sad blow to the peo-
dlc of tl:U town and county. Their
hearts are Isrwed In grief, sorrow stalks
heavily hut her impressions tills time
have been deep, aud throhhiiig hearts
w ith passions tlerve strife have wasted a
day In waitltiK snd sighing for our dear
departed dead.
.striving lo tell our sorrows, words will
not come, for light cares sneak, when
mighty griefs are dumb. No language
can convey to the win Id the polunanl
grief sud universal regret of our ueople
at this Hidden aud unexpected death of
the most esteemed citi/cnof the county.
W kcu the news of the demise of any moi-
tal breaks upon the ear, the otil shud-
ders at the thought, and for a time drapes
itself and shuts out lifes scenes and is left
to serious and solemn communings. Itul
when the unseen shaft strikes down to
rise no more, the flower of the county,
Ihi1 expectaucy and the rose of the fair
State, then It Is that earth presents no
source, no consolation, and we can only
look aloft for the balm of aching and
wounded hearts, and await for tune, the
reputed healer of all our earthly woes,
to calm the overwhelming hiir-t of grief
into the gentle tear id recollection, and
though this may tinge our hours o(
mirth with sadness we could not have
ibis sorrow entirely erased from tlio tab-
lets of our memory. No, we can never
forget him. Ill* cheerful words and
kindly deeds will ever be jealously
guarded in the golden casket of a thou
sand memories In tins county.
It is tilting, though we feel wholly in-
adequate to do the subject justice, that
before we lay away in the earth' bosom
—whence sprang all life, to winch It
must all return these Bslie* wliiMcglovv
of life has tied, that we should pause aud
recount the virtues that made this mail
a power in the IMstrict in w hich he
lived.
•Imlgs I.sfayette Kirk was horn at the
old homestead at which his father still
resides, six miles from Independence. In
this county, August the 81st, 1886, and
was therefore, at the time of his death,
ill! years, 10 months and 'J7 days old.
Ills early youth w a" full of adventurous
difficulties, and to him the ladder of life
was steep, ruifged. Intercepted by preci-
pices requiring giant strength to scale
tlieui. Ills education was obtained un-
der tbe difficulty of having to ride six
miles, morning and evening, to Hay Is I
t'ulvorsity, "t Independence, where he
graduated In the .'lass of 1N7U. after
which he came to llrctihani and cmn-
ineuced reading law under Saj lcs A lias-
sett, hut even this step towards the up-
per plains that shine with tbe splendor
of sclf-couqiiering heroes, was interrup-
ted ami for want of means he was forced
to (so out and teach sehoal before lie
could complete Ills course and lie admit-
ted to the tinr. and during the year IHsu
he taught sehoal In Fayette county, near
l.stirauge. and ill this county in lssl.
In 1H82 he was elected justice of the
peace, of thin precinct, serving for two
years, being elected County .fudge in
IMN4. after a heated canvass over a man
that it was thought Impossible to beat.
Ills term as justice of the peace was a
platform of solidity In u judicial capacity
from w hich he erected rouud after round
rising ou.
As County .fudge lie made a record of
which any man could point with pride.
Coming iiito nfllce w hen the county was
head-over-heels iu debt from Itepubli-
can mismanagement sad malfeasance In
office, he worked it out and led the dem-
ocratic hosts that kept it In it condition
to reduce taxation and build tbe hand-
some ¥75,(1011 court house that now
adorns the public square.
■fudge Kirk was .i man of such Indomi-
table perseverance and courage that the
torture anil heart sickness of hope de
ferred, w as coined by blm into Jewels of
triumph, by Ingenuity and heaven-kin-
dled trust that circumvent misfortune,
verluap all obstacles, defying all opin-
ion, always planting hi- battery ou
i' Impregnable height-of Truth, w here
no enemy successfully assaults.
For eight year* he served the cnunty
as Judge and In lHtl.' was elected Judge
of the Jlst Judicial district, which high
position tie occupied at the lime of his
demise, and In which position he served
w Ith distinction and eminent satisfaction
to an admiring constituency.
It Is sn impossible task lo catalogun
the multiplied deeds of personal benev-
olence which made him one of the most
popular men in the county, lie was ev-
er ready to do Ills part In any enterprise
that promised good for his county aud
countrymen, and so well understood was
this trait of his character that he could
always he counted u|mui without consul-
tation. In public positions his deep
sense of patriotic ntdigatlon Mas only
exceeded by the zeal and lidellty with
which lie marked every private en-
deavor.
Yet lie was only fairly beginning the
life of promise tbat was before liiin.
ills life had iust passed the morn and

complete. The shaft he reared lacks the
capitol, but that w hich remains to tell us
of Ins genius Is so wondrous in its beau

what the grace o| |U ultimate perfection
would have been. It is eloquent of all
