INEXCUSAELE LAWLESSNESS The lynching of the five negroes in York, the account of which is pub lished elsewhere, is a crimson stain upon the county of York, and adds another blot upon the fair name of the State. It was without excuse, and is a worse murder than the crime for which the five wrotches were sum marily punished. The court was in esion at the time. The preponder ance of Ithe evidence was clearly against the prisoners and with public sentiment high in opposition their conviction was a foregone conclusion. Indeed it seemed impossible for Giles Goode, Bailey Dowdle, Prindley Thompson, Mose Lipscomb and Dan Roberts to escape conviction for the murder of young Goode on th6 30th of last November. But at a time when a day or two at the fartherest would have seen these parties sen tenced to the gallows, up steps a band of undisguised men, who in open de fiance of all law, order, and peace, break open the county jail, and drag ging their victims some distance swung them to the limbs of trees. What a barbarous sight must have met the gaze of the law abiding citi zen of York as he passed that way on the dayof the tragedy. It was a sight that would have chilled the blood of an aboriginal savage or trfixed with horror the semi-civil ized Asiatic. The murder of young, Goode was diabolical but the lynch ing of those five men was a far graver The good man with a respect for the law commensurate with his com mon sense. shudders when he contem plates the rapid strides by which his countrg is moving backward. Not manyyeas ago, men were filled with borror at the news of a lynching in South Carolina. Now it is a daily oc currefice. Once it was done at mid night by masked men; now men open ly take the law in their own hands in the broad light of day, with no effort a conalment. It is inevitably nec eary that something be done to ebeck this growing eviL Though Judge Pressley no doubt erred in ad-I nitting from the Bench that the courts were powerless to bring such offenders tojustice, yet he told the unvarnished truth, as startling as it may appear. A living example of this is the noted Cuibreath lynchers. The people must be taught from the press and pulpit to respect the law and punish its violat ors. Open defiance of law is the worst evil yet. The example set is followed and it grows, and grows, uin til unless it is checked, it becomes a vampire to sap the very foundations of the government. The State should Iske the matter of the Yorkville lynehers in hand. The whole power fidhe country should be used for their prosecution. * HO, THE FAIR! 'i'he time is drawing near for the air of the Manning Guard. Only one week from to-day, next Wednes nay, and the patrons and friends of this enterprise will behold and appre ciate the effort now being made to make the Fair a means of pleasure~ and profit to all visitors. Its success now is fully assured. Merchandise of every variety and generous abundance is stored-away ready to be opened and displayed onlthe auspicious||roccasion Everytliing is to be auctioned .in good faith, and knocked down to the highest bidder. Ample means will be provided from which to purchase a full family larder for a whole year. The heads of families, both in town and country will find it economy to be present on account of the many other useful articles to be sold. A. new sewing machine, barrels of flour, canned groceries, and a multitude of' articles valuable and useful in every home will be put up and sold. Then there is the art table, conspicuous on which will be a costly oil painting, presented to the Guard through Mr. N. Levi, by an art firm of New York, and valued at $40. This picture will likely be raffled. Umbrellas, silk and' alpaca, and a legion of handsome or namental articles will make up anoth ertable. The next and most attrac tive feature of the Fair will likely be the table set apart for the elegant, ar-, tistic and unique pieces of fancy work iesigned and executed by the delicate deft fingers of the kind ladies who have responded so willingiy to the call ei the Guard for their assistance. On the same line and but little less inter esting will be the table of perfumes. The miaret, choicest, colonges, extract ed from aromatic plants from here, there, and everywhere, have been pre seatedto the G~uard and will be on ewxban an~ ale Thm las+ but not least, and yet the most difficult table tar of all to describe is the one on which the everything not mentioned, and what- ret ever else the mind can conceive of will S Shf be placed. We don't know what else of I to call it than the olla podrida table. ing From those things useful to the prat- the tling babe to ornaments for the gray- e. headed sire will be found among its 0 itil mysterious contents. It is too mar- kn velous to describe as the public will wit appreciate by an inspection. We have only attempted a cursory ha and hasty description of the Fair of dei the Guard, which will surpass in eve ry way anything of the kind ever be fore held in Manning. th On Wednesday afternoon the target bes P shooting arranged between the milita- 9' ry companies of the county will take place after which the Fair building pr( will be opened, and continue until Po everything is disposed of. the s fprc Dinner, consisting of substantials of 00 every variety and delicacies in profu- k sion will be served. arc -_ -- CW0eni Colonel D.

M. Gilland for having signed a pe- goe tition for the pardon of a certain at criminal in that county. Although wa none of the facts of the case are M I known here, still it can be said in be- goe half of Sumter that Solicitor Gilland has the entire confidence of the peo- A ple of this county. He has always observed the duties of his office in a manner which has commanded the day greatest esteem and confidence, and Ju public opinion here seems inclined to ch censure the Herald for publishing We such a scurrilous communication, for which there can be no foundation.

Since I las't wrote you the five gentlemecn er who compose the new Inter State Commerce a Commission arrived in the city, talked over preliminaries, visited the President, inter viewed Secretary Lamar, received their - Commissions, took the oath of Office, in- I spected their temporary quarters, took possession of them, elected their chalrman, and entered upon their new dutics. So, what the country has long been. clam oring for is now an accomplished tact. But S( while the new ouurt will be able to remedy seine evils, in current transportation meth ods, it is pretty certain not to do so greet an amount of good as is anticipated from it by all sorts of reformers who think that o everything can be regulated by law. e The President of the Commission is fot Judge Cooley, a Michiigan Republicanm. His in election was predetermined. It was undor- h stood by the other members the JPresident wanted him to be at the head and they ac quiesced in his choice without discussion, admitting that the Judge knew more about ' law and railroad matters than all the others put together. As the board is now made up and organ ized, (it consists of three Democrats and two Republicans, one of which is chairman) when it fails to satisfy shippers-as it is almost certain to do-the Democratic House can divide the incoming growls with thefe Republican Senate, and the Democratic ma- A joity of the Commission can plead that ter the work was directed by a Republican ~ chairman. To appoint a majority of Re- the publicans on the Commission would have in been a shrewd move on the part of the Pres- fait ident, but the next wisest thing was to give the Republican party the mattgement of it and the responsibil ty attached. Probably no appointment of President - Cleveland's since the fourth of March, 1885, has given more general satisfaction than that of Mr. Fairchild to be Secretary of the Treasury. It is in the direct line too of J civil servive reform-a promotion for real H merit. The new Cabinet officer is very __ popular at the Treasury Department as is also Judge Maynard, the Second Comptroll er, who takes the place - of Assistant Secre tary. When their promotions were author - itatively announced these two officials were overwhelmed with congratulations. The rush was so great that Mr. Fairchild was forced to ask all callers to desist until a~ certain hour, wheni both gentlemen gave themselves up to hand shaking with the A hundreds of employes of the Department. r of the Treasury, and the first lady of Cabinet, is a quiet cultivated lady, with ring and graeious manners, one whom ,ill be a pleasure to regard as a leader. is a niece of the late Governor Seymour, ew York, and the family being in mourn have not gone much into society since y came here.
