{This is in reference to the "Ku Klux Cases" tried in the Supreme Court at
Charleston. Many, many, prominent and not so prominent men from Union,
Spartanburg, Laurens and surrounding areas were arrested and taken to
Charleston. The local newspapers of the time claim the main reason for the
arrests were to remove white men, who were eligible to vote, from the area
during the election.

jail at Charleston: . . .James Sinclair..." {34 named all together, in
