Wards.?Fountain Inn Tribune. Tho lynching of Dillard Wilson by a mob composed of citizens of Shilob township, Butnter county, and ad jacent sections of Florence and Clar endon counties was tbe exercise of lawless justice by an excited and out raged community that will be approv ed and justified by a majority of the people of suinter county and the state at large. This being a fact that we must admit, regardless of our firm ly rooted conviction that lynch law is never Justified in a country that has courts, an honest Judiciary and a predominant sentiment in favor of the suppression of crime and the punish ment of criminals, it is almost a waste of time to discuss the Dillard Wilson case, save in general terms for the purpose of making clear reasons for declining to approve lynch law In any circumstances, no matter how hein ous tbe crime or bow positive the proof of the guilt of the victim of the mob. There was no question of the guilt of Dillard Wilson. His crime was brought home to him and fasten ed upon him by a chain of circumstan tial evidence stronger, more positive and more convincing than that usual ly adduced from the testimony of eye witnesses of a crime. He was posi tively Identified by tbe little son of the woman, whom he murdered. He Anally confessed his guilt, removing the last shred of doubt if doubt ex isted In the minds of anyone. The case against him was clear, positive, Irrefutable. His life was forfeited for his ghastly crime All that remained was the time and manner of his exe cution. Had he been left to be dealt with by law through the orderly pro cedure of the courts a speedy trial was guaranteed snd bis punishment certain. All that civilized society asks, or should ask, Is the enforcement of law and the punishment of crimin als. This was assured In the case of Dillard Wilson, but the men who put him to death! yielding to the heat and passion of the moment lost sight or the duty that each and every law abiding citisen owes to himself and his Stnte to uphold tbe courts and aid In all ways possible and in ail cir cumstances the orderly enforcement of law. They took the law into their own hands and enforced swift Jus tice in a lawless manner. They did no injustice to Dillard Wilson. They klled him, but his life was already forfeited, and in killing him they did him no. wrong. The wrong was to the community In particular and to soci ety in general in the open and flag rant disregard of law .The effect of the lynching of Dillard Wilson did not end when the mob had satis fled Its vengence by riddling his body with bullets. The killing of Dillard Wilson was a reversion to lawlessness in mass, apd a bresking of tho laws that divide..law snd order from lawless ness and violence. Therein' lies the danger In lynch' law; therein lies tho wrongfUlneBS of resorting to rough and ready justice when thera ire courts established for the trial rod punishment of . criminals. The kil ting of a- self-confessed murderer. Whose clothing reeked with the blood if his victim, Is a small thing In com parison with the wrong done the oub lie conscience. The men who partici pated In the lynching of Dillard Wil son will find It easy to justify the killing of a murdorer, but how' cas they Justify the violation of law that their act entailed when they, assumed the function of public executioners? ?The SumtertDally Item. TIMES HAV2 CHANGED. A few days ago on a train coming rot of Savannah, Ga? a passenger In i Pullman car was seised with chills rod fever. The conductor on the train first tried to find a doctor on th? train falling In which he decided to :ry to got some whiskey and give tho ilok rann until they could get him to Ms destination. He went through svery coach in the train and asked svery passenger but could not find a Irop of whiskey on the truth. Only a few years back this conduc tor could not have had' to have made Inquiries of over, two or three pas lengors before finding some booze, for learly every other traveler you met carried some along with htm. But times have changed. The business world Is knocking boose <put of com mission where sentiment has failed, rhe business man of today doesn't want a drinking man In hta employ, n fact he wont have him.

There Is a Hide other than the planter's. A sample of the manner in which this is presented Ib found In the circular letter of a wholesale hardware house located at Ft. Worth, Texas. This firm objects to the farm er's claim that he ought to have 10 centB for cotton because it costs that much a pound to raise and sayB many growers became rich, or at least In dependent, producing it at 7 cents.

"provided, further, that said city shall not before pur chasing the electrical plant.... directly or indirectly enter into com petition with the company in the sale and distribution of electrical energy to the Inhabitants of said city, nor shall it before purchasing the distri bution system . . . install a sys tem for the lighting of it? streets.
