THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. FATE HANGS ON WOMAN VOLUME VI. For Once a Nogro who Has Been Accused of "Raping" a White Woman is About to be Given Justice. Her Virtue in Doubt. The Testimony May Prevent His Being Hung. Gov. Heywood of South Carolina has respited the sentence of Anton Winams, a Negro sentenced to hang Friday at Camden, to Dec. 25. The case is very peculiar, and so far as was known there is but one like it in the history of the courts. A man named David was convicted in Abbebville in 1778 and Governor Hampton respited his sentence on after discovered evidence. A motion was made for a new trial before Judge Mackey, who held that he did not have the right to grant it, but the supreme court held that he did, and was afterwards acquitted. In this case, the history of which follows, Solictor Thurmond has been advised that he request a special term of court. On October 17 the following petition was filed with the governor asking a respite for Aaron Williams who was sentenced to be hanged November 4 next: At the General Sessions court for Kershaw county, which was held at this place last week, one Aaron Williams, colored, was convicted of having committed rape upon Mrs. Langley, a white woman, and Judge Purdy, the trial judge, sentenced the prisoner to be hanged November 4. We, the undersigned citizens of Kershaw county, firmly believe and honestly believing that there are circumstances connected with this case which will appeal to your excellency why the defendant in this case does not deserve the imposition of the death penalty, respectfully petition your excellency to grant a respite in this case tor at least thirty days until we can make the proper and convincing showing why Williams should not be executed, and our reasons therefor. The petition is largely signed. On October 17 Governor Heyward declined to grant the petition for the reason that it was too general in terms and showing no specific reason why it should be granted. It did not appear from the petition that new evidence, if produced, would have any effect and would not have been other than cumulative. That due diligence was not used at the trial to discover this evidence. The governor notified the petitioners to this effect, inasmuch as it is a settled proposition of law that if an appeal had been taken to the supreme court and that if a prima facie showing had been made of this that the court would have remanded the case to the circuit court to allow a motion for a new trial to made before that tribunal. The following affidavits were submitted. County of Kershaw. Personally appeared J.J. B. Truesdale on oath, do say that Aaron Williams did not commit rape on Mrs. Langley. Aaron Williams was intimate with Mrs. Langley, for some time, with Mrs. Langley's consent, and that J. J. B. Truesdale does not think that Aaron Williams should be hung and should be sent to the penitentiary for life. Personally appeared, Samuel Aamons, under oath, do say that Aaron Williams did work with Langley for several days after it was reported to Langley that Aaron Williams had raped his wife, and that he, S. J. Aamons, does not believe that Mrs. Langley was a virtuous woman, and that Aaron Williams has been living in adultery with Mrs. Langley for some time before this happened. It was the general report around the neighborhood. Upon consideration of these and similar affidavits in connection with the petition, the governor felt constrained to grant the respite until December 23, in order to allow the defendant to make a motion before the special term of the court of general sessions for Kershaw county for a new trial, believing that the defendant was entitled to this upon legal grounds. The above article shows that there are some few honest white people in the South. The facts in the above only go to prove that there are outrages and other crimes laid at the door of many an innocent and hardworking Negro to vindicate the wrongdoing of hypocritical and deceitful white people. This man had been intimate with this woman for years, and he was also in the employ of her husband, and it seems to us as though just because he was going to quit their service, this matter was hatched up in order to put an end to his life. Surely the millennium is coming; and a few honest white men in South Carolina have come forward in interest of a defenseless Negro against a white woman and her husband whom the Negro had confidence in. The sooner the laws of the southern states are properly judicated, and honest, fearless men have the execution of them, the better it will be for all concerned. There must be a change, and there will be one. The time is not far off when all wrongs that have been heaped upon Negroes by southern white men and women will be measured back to them in the same manner it was meted out. Those who have lived in open adultery for years with colored women should not kick when they find a colored man living in adultery with other races. Mr. White man, you might as well come in out of the rain! And take things as they are; do not try to hang the poor Negro for the same crime that you have been committing for years. Mr. Kettle, stop calling the pot "black." This is just one case out of fifty thousand which exist in the southland. Let's call all these things off and protect all good women irrespective of color, and see that all have the same recognition and courtesy due them from gentlemen. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Among recent visitors who have received a hearty welcome and who have expressed themselves as very much pleased with what they have witnessed, we note, Prof. C. G. Williams and wife, of Booneville. Miss Estelle Williams, their daughter, is a member of the Sub-normal department and a valuable addition to the "Sunshine Circle." Echoes of the Farmers' Convention are still in the air. In the valuable paper prepared by Prof. Daniel of the Department of Agriculture and Biology, he emphasised the necessity of combining the scientific and practical phases of agriculture, if one would become a successful farmer; the importance of ownership of land by the men who till the soil; and indicated the manner in which the Lincoln Institute can become the great central rallying point for educational work along agricultural lines, as well as in other branches or departments of work already established here.

As the casket was borne from the home by the pallbearers there preceded it an aged and bent figure with long flowing hair and wearing an old army overcoat. This man General Hugh Cameron, best known as the hermit of Lawrence, Kan. General Cameron and Colonel Anthony in 1854 walked from the West port Landing, near Kansas City, Mo., to Lawrence, Kan. together. When the party to which they belonged as about to depart for Lawrence General Cameron remarked to Colonel Anthony: "It is a sin to ride behind a beast when he has two legs to walk upon." With that the two men, then young, started out into Kansas. They had been friends in the early struggles of Kansas and General Cameron preceded the casket bearing the remains of his departed friend, their last appearance together. NUMBER 46. Facttion.

The young men and the young women enter in the discussion of the topics readily. The meetings are held every Sabbath afternoon. Our barn has been moved outside of the campus. This will enable us to beautify the grounds around the boys' building and at the same time allow us to take better care of the stock. The Musical department will give a resital Wednesday evening.

Every Negro parent should train his children how to properly face the problems of life. Rev. J. E. Cary, pastor of the Second C. P. church, in company with Rev. De. Shong of Fayetteville, Ky., made this office a pleasant call Thursday afternoon. The entertainment given by the New Hope literary society at 618 Kansas avenue last evening was in every respect a success. About one hundred people listened to the program and particular interest was manifested in the discussion. Both Mr. G. A. Bigbee and Mr. John Kelly made stirring talks, but Mr. Kelly won the day. Such meetings as these are instructive as well as entertaining, and should be patronized by all who wish to encourage the progress of our young people. Ira Smith, the efficient foreman in this office, had the serious misfortune to get his right hand caught in our big press last Saturday, and on that account the young man has been compelled to remain in bandages and bed since. Dr. Taylor dressed the injured hand, and unless complications set in Mr. Smith will be all right in a week or so. It now develops, however, that Mr. Smith damaged the press about as much as the press damaged him, and we intend to sue him for damages. Outgrows Ita Unefoluens. The Northwestern Baptist association, which has been in existence for twenty-one years, has at last dissolved. At a meeting at the Third Baptist church on Washington street, pastored by Rev. W. P. Banks, last night the officers of the executive board decided by a unanimous vote to meet in Lawrence today for the purpose of organizing what shall be known as the Kaw Valley association. This is done for the reason that the Northwestern association had become so large that it was burdensome upon the smaller places where the association often me. For this reason they have cut the state up into smaller districts. This association will still continue in the lead. The officers of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission and the Sunday School work will also assume the name of the association proper. The Northwestern association was organized July 10, 1882, with J. R. Richardson, who was our last moderator, as first missonary, and T. H. Ewing as first moderator. The following ministers were present last night: Revs. Jackson, Mitchell, Van Leu, Ferguson, McNeal; and of the lady officers, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Madison. John E. Lewis of Wichita was also among the officers present East on the Southwest Limited You cannot drop your napkin and pick it up in the dining car of The Southwest Limited.

The race begins to take an interstate aspect, Kansas vs. Missouri. Votes have been received from Topeka, Atchison, Lawrence, Kan., Jefferson City, St. Joseph and Sedalia, Mo., for the leading candidates. Kansas with her abundance of intelligence and pluck cannot afford to allow Missouri with her large numbers to win out in this contest which represents a high honor in two sister States. The Starlight Club gave a ball at M. and O. Hall Thursday evening. Rev. A. M. Ward is preparing to entertain the Bishop when he comes to Kansas City next month. The Convention Hall, the huge public structure of Kansas City, the largest west of the Mississippi river, has witnessed many brilliant scenes in its history, horse shows, fairs, concerts, celebrations and events of every nature; but none have eclipsed in beauty and splendor, effect and enjoyment the grand Annual Entertainment and Exhibition LDWIN S. LEWIS, Dist. Grand Master Drill given under the auspices of the Cosmopilitan, Gates City, Alaska and Monrovian lodges of Odd Fellows last Friday evening. A large crowd of five hundred persons braved the cold weather to be present, and were entertained in a most elegant style. The great hall was decorated with Japanese lanterns and umbrillas and various colors of bunting arranged in an artistic style. The gentlemen were dressed in solid suits of evening black, while the ladies were attired in beautiful gowns—the receut products of the dressmaker's art. Upon entering the hall one was immediately ushered into the hands of the receiving ladies and gentlemen, whose politeness and courtesy were a noticeable feature of introduction. Viewing the great hall from this standpoint, the elaborate decorations, the intelligent and refined appearance of the assembled guests, and listening to the sweet strains of harmony and music as rendered by the famous Metropolitan Band, whose twenty-one members dressed in evening style of conventional black stood up like a phalans from the surrounding sea of faces; one could not help feeling the richness of the occasion and realizing that these progressive Negroes are pushing on and up in the art of high class entertaining. Promptly at 10 p. m. with colors flying, plumes fluttering and swords and belts glistening in the light, and the band playing a lively march and every member stepping proudly before the eyes of the assembled people, Topeka Patriarchs, No. 105 of Topeka, Capt. Arnett, commanding and Kansas City Patriarchs, No. 63 of Kansas City, Mo., Capt. Thos. Eaton, commanding, marched out into the arena and for thirty minutes held the great audience in closest attention by beautiful evolutions and difficult movements in military art and skill. Kansas City was accredited the best drilled company and received the plaudits of the audience. Immediately after the drill the band struck up the air of The Star Spangled Banner and in the far remote end of the hall the American flag made up of colored electric light globes burst forth into an effulgence of light and beauty, causing the audience to applaud and cheer. Then the whole hall was brilliantly illuminated with designs of electricity, after which the lights were all turned off, leaving none but the dull candle lights of the Japanese lanterns aglow, making the scene one enchanting garden of poetical description. The Grand March immediately followed this series of electrical display and for a number of hours those that danced tripped the light fanatic toe to the lively strains of popular airs, while those that did not dance enjoyed themselves in the bal- ter Missouri Jurisdiction V.

M. conies and at the supper tables, which groaned under the weight of delicious edibles prepared by the faithful sisters of the H. of H., who deserve much honor and praise for the success of this entertainment. The souvenir programs were neatly designed twenty-page advertising folders, the work of energetic Geo. W. K. Love, of Rone-Love Realty Company, of Kansas City, Mo. Among those who shouldered the responsibilities for the success or failure of this immense undertaking are: the invincible Edwin S. Lewis, Dist. Grand Master of Missouri: ex-Grand Master Eli Harris; Dist. Deputy Grand Master H. R. Edwards, W. E. Randolph, W. R. Patterson, D. M. Johnson, Frank L. White, D. Queenan, A. E. Estis, Moses Ricketts, Robert Hill and B. T. Lewis. The Odd Fellows of Kansas City are an up-to-date progressive set of men striving to erect a suitable hall for lodge purposes. THE PLAINDEALER congratulates them upon their great success and assures them that it is a great pleasure to be found in their company, in their homes and by their firesides.
