CRUELTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
ASOTFJER LETTER FROM MARTtlA SbHO
FIELP A NEGRO BRUTALLV "VVIIIPrED
THE MURDERERS AT ELLEXTON THE
HOUSE OP A NEGRO WOMAN BURNED.
To the Editor of the Tribune :
gm: I had hoped to be spared from
writing accounts of any more outrages, but
the time has come when "silence has ceased
to be a virtue," and "the fear of man may be
a snare whereby we may be again entangled
with the yoke of bondage."
I have talked with a man who left his
home on the morning of election day Novem
ber 7, thinking to vote at a certainpoll and
then go on to his work. When he reached
the place he was told he could not vote
there. The voters present being nearly
all white men, he thought it best to leave
quietly and go to a poll where there were
United States troops. He was followed by
three men, and when a short distance on
i,w w:iv was seized by them and the follow-
IJUi in" dialogue took place, with mauy more
oaths than i snail give :
"What shall we do with the d nig
ger ? Let us kill him."
"Yes, by , let us kill him !" said an
other. One of the while men loosened his hold
and stepped away. To use the words of
the negro : "1 thought they would kill me
.sure, and I say "If you're going to kill me
let me make prayer.' "
"Xo, you , you ought to have
June that before."
'Well, then, if you got paper and pencil
about you let me write a few lines to my
wife ; she thinks I'm gone on to my work,
ami if I be dead I want her to know it."
"No! If you had been at home attend
ing to her and minding your own business
vou would not got this to-day. We are
going to stop niggers ruling white folks.
lis our country and we are going to have
it."
Then they said : "We will give him fifty
lashes :!piece." They cut sticks from the
road side, and told the negro to take off
his coat and shirt, lie l:ty down o.i his
face, and the command came, "Get on
your knees, lean over, tighten upycui skin
so I can cut it. At the first lash, the
negro says, "I jumped up, when one says,
lD ou want me to kick -ou in the month ?
If you do that again I'll kick every tooth
out of your head.' " The men took turns,
and the one whipping gave his pistol to one
of the others. Then two of the white men
int.'!) held thoir pistols at the man's head
and said. "If you call for aid we will blow
out your brains, and if you ever tell this
yuu will hj a dead nigger. We know you
now." He says the punishment was more
tli 'D one hundred lashes, and when they
loft him he was jut able to crawl in his
llooly clothes to his home, unable to get
to the other poll. This action gained the
)emocrats one vote. Two weeks ago it
was done, and to-day the man's back is a
mass of healing wounds. One of the white
men (I could give name) is out on bail
from a charge of having participated in
other outrages..
In another case, where a colored man,
who was boru free, asked why they wanted
t kill so many men, he was told : "We
have been waiting on God Almighty nearly
1- years to change the nigger mind and he
hnsu't done it, so we are going to change
t Iiern from Republicans to Democrats." In
my other letter I wrote of a woman whose
nephew was shot in her cabin, and who fell
dead on her floor pierced by five pistol
bullets, h'he saw the pistols fired. The
wadding set fire to his clothing, and he was
lurninir after he was dead. She says, "It
was done so quick he didn't say any thin;'
hut 0 Lord ! O Lord ! with everyfirc." This
liwl several other outrages were committed
idl er the trouble at House's Bridge, after
the United .States troops had been there,
peace had been declared, and the soldiers
had left. The white men then rode around
yelling: 'Go to burying,go to burying,
we've got three more blackbirds." This
aunt and her daughter lived together and
worked in the house for white folks. The
woman was sent for to give evidence about
her nephew. The white man of the place
told her : "If you are going to Aiken, you
had better move before you go; I don't
know what may happen to your thinirs be-1
f re you get back." She came the
daughter stayed to cook for a white family
W hile sue was away one day, their home
was burned to the ground. The daughter
ran to the house, hoping to save a few
things, but it was so thoroughly afire, to
ue her own expression, "She did not save
enough to wrap round a fingernail. Ma, I
not been out half an hour, and T !ef no fire
but coals covered up. I never see a house
mrn ?o ; there must have been kerosene
Jill over the floor, It was fire all over." As
1 write, this much-injured woman sits by,
ttifimg the tears as she tells how "all my
ureses and bed-clothes, and nice white
counterpanes, for I wanted to live like white
folks, and dishes and glasses are burnt up.
I went to hunt in the ashes for twelve
dollars in silver I had, but could find none;"
and then with a smothered sob : "I never
did no harm to the white folks ; why did
they do such to me ? I thought to come
up here and tell what they wanted to know
and I had seen, but by the time I was
, uiKing here, wcrd came my house
li a? done burnt up."
Let me say here, it takes brave women
and courageous men to leave home and give
testimony implicating the whites. They
know the risk to life and property. Is it
hkely they would do, it for the pay of a
fitness, as some assert? Many who came
Irom Kllentoo and House's Bridge have
not dared to go back, thus losing much of
their crop. The wife of 19, whose hus
band was killed, will most likely lose the
Pa)' for her own and her husband's labor
Jince January. They worked together in
the cotton field, happy in their young love,
l TCre t0 give a sh:ire t0 the land owner
Alas ! she is not there, and all are afraid to
demand justice for her, so he is gathering
" aI- She is too valuable a witness to be
Permitted to return, though, as she said to
Jje, with that pathose so peculiar to the raee,
1 pray the Lord to suffer me to go to
ourt and tell truth, and if their own deeds
J t condemn them they may go. Then
11 f want to go back to my people, I am
gg ; and if they kill me for telling the
truth they may do it; my husband died
Ior the truth, and I am ixot afraid to die."
I make no appeal, but if any wish to cori
iribiite to the support of the women whose
house was burned, or assist the young
widow with her unborn child, I will receive
and deliver anything that may be forwarded
to met I have questioned the blacks
closely to get the exact truth, and as I
want to be .equally just, will state that I
am told two of the large landowners (whose
names I would like to give) refused to
allow the companies of armed men to ride
through their plantations. One had his
dining-room full of the colored men on his
place, who ran there for safety.
Since writing my other letter I have
received so many letters from friends and
strangers, showing such great sympathy and
strong desire to know the exact truth, that
my duties will scarcely allow time for
answering all. I appreciate and am thank
ful for sympathy. 1 made these outrages
known for the sake of truth, and because
ray highest education has been to do ray
duty, leaving the result to God. During
my twelve years of teaching in this State I
have always advocated the right of a man
to be a Democrat, aud that he should be
unmolested in his opinion ; but I wish with
my whole heait hundreds of Northcn
Domcrats would come South with the pur
pose of finding the truth. Humanity,
justice, and the honor of our nation demand
that the weak as well as the strong should
be protected. There are many more deeds
as terrible as those I have related, and these
will no doubt be proved when the United
States Court meets. Sincerely and re
spectfully, Martha Scuofield.

People who live and move in crowded
rooms without ventilation, should remem
ber that man's own breath is his greatest
enemy ; that air once breathed is unfit for
respiration because: 1. It has lost about
one-fifth of its oxygen. 2. It has gained
aDout an equal amount or carbonic acid.
3. It contains more or less effluvium, an
organic matter capable of decomnosition
The organic matter in considerable amount
is offensive. By decomposition it becomes
a poison.
Out at Janesville, Wisconsin, one firm
has made, during this season, 45,000
cucumber-pickles, and converted 3,000
heads of cabbage into sour krant.
