It would l>e I'lritsnnl if \v<> could in all
things agree with our friend of tlie /V&v
and Manner. Since, however, tlmt is
r>r>t possible ; and since we too have assumed
to he, in pari, the representative
and exponent of the people unions
whom we live, it becomes our duly to
notice and reply to an article contained
in the last issue of the f'rcxs and Jimtver,
which does a great injustice to our
people and our section.
Basing its indictment upon the report
of the recent killing of a negro hy a policeman
in Laurens, and the killing of
one in Mecklenburg, NT C'., it proceeds
to arraign the white people of this section
on the c.hnrgeof Killing negroes "at
their own swr-el will, or on the slightest
provocation."
Although the published facts show
that the white men who were actors in
the two tragedies which have stirred the
foundation of our neighbor's pity, were
held blameless, the ZVcn.y ami Hamicr
resumes that the papers which published
these facts have wilfully falsified the
f icts, and that the negroes were brutally
shot down in col I blood, and asserts in
substance that this is noarlv alwavs the i
rase in encounters between whites and
blacks.
Perhaps we would not have frit impelled
to notice this article if the people
of Abbeville* had not born specifically
Included in this sweeping arraignment,
in the following language :
"It is a disgrace to our civilization that
tlies'* poor, helpless creatures may be
wantonly killed at any time with perfect
iinpuniiy, and the Charlotte Olmc.rrer
may cease to make any pretensions for
nn equal Administration of the laws if
such killing is to go unpunished. We
claim no exemption of blame for Alibevillu
County or this .Judicial Circuit if
there has been dereliction in the prosecution
of white men for the killing of
negroes, and we believe no white man
has ever sutiered for any assault upon a
liegm, although numbers of them have
been slain."
We are not the apologist of criminals,
and we defend?no man who wantonly
and without provocation commits murder.
But we promptly and earnestly
raise our voices against this wholesale
anaiirnment nf the unnnL. ..f o ..-1...I., I
.suction, upon belief and supposition. It
has long been a favorite theory of the
editor of the Jy re.su ami I'tanner that
'the true province of tin: journalist is to
give the J'ttcfs of every matter it discusses.
Lei him g:ve to the public sonic
fuels to account for his strange opinions
.and remarkable charges against tin ,
white people of this County.
Our contemporary a fleets to helievi
that negroes are systvtn.ilic.illy ami constantly
shot down by whi'.c iii.m without
'pretext or color. Now since we have
lived in this community we can recall
but two instances in which negno-s has
been killed by white men, and that
was done in self defence. On the contrary
the cases of homicide that have
heci! tried within tint time have been of
while men who killed while men, mid
.negroes who killed negroes. Our neijih:hor
knows that the lynching that occur
red here a year ago, was universally condemned
and denounced. Moreover, as
lh:? (ireunville Xeic.t says, deadly encounters
are not a'.it to occur between
white and biack men, unless tlio lattei
nre the aggressors. If a negro offends a
white man?he cannot insult liiinsel'*, hecause
h is his inferior?the white man
punishes the otr.-nce immediately and
jwrsonsilly, and it is very sehlont thai
recourse is had to deadly weapons.
Our contemporary assumes that there
is a taeit :;;:re?Mnet.t on the part of the
.Courts and juries to let go srott-free
every white man who assaults a negro
and to punish every negro who assaults
a while man. At the last term of the
N Court for this County a negro who was
indicted for an assault committed against
ft white man was acquitted hy a jury
composed wholly of while men. The
evidence was strong against him hut the
<N 'jury gave him the benefit of tin; douht.
At every term of our Court negroes nre
.defended for every grade of offense by
able counsel, without reward or the
hope of reward.
We shall alwavs nrnmnflv tnin <v?r?
V - I 1*-v J" ' t,,v
Prow find lit inner in the denunciation
of unprovoked and wilfull murder, but
wo shall judge each ease upon its particular
state of facts. ^
To thin charge of murder, to which a
people who have ever Wen bravo, generous
and kind, are brought to answer at
the bar ?>f the public opinion of the
whole country, we enter an earnest plea
Ol" "not guilty."
INAUGURATION.
<iov. Thompson and lit.-Ciov. Shoppard
wore inaugurated for thoir second,
term in the presence of the General Assembly
and the Supreme Court, and the
ludges of the Circuit and U.S. Courts,
and many visitors on last Thursday.
Gov. Thompson has made a wise, conservative
and faithful Chief Executive,
ami in entering for the second time npnn
the duties of oflicc to which he was
eler.tod without solicitation or desire on
his part, he has the pleasant knowledge
that he possesses the love and conliflenco
of the people.

that distinguished him us Speaker of

And we know whereof we speak when
we say that the hiinlen of expense of
keeping up militia organizations is no
lip.lit one to the members thereof.
Nevertheless, if or Legislators think
there is no need of such organizations
then let them abolish the whole mili- :
tary branch of the State government,
ami have done with the farce of trying 1
to keep up ;i militia without ?id from the
State. I

which has long been only talked about.

Female College students, who had
come to witness ihc inauguration ceremonies
and who occupied the gallery,
were present and were evidently interested
in the remarks of Mr. Farrow.
Like the traditional gods of the thea
rie.il jinllery, these goddesses of the
legislative gallery were the most appreciative
element of Mr. Farrow's audience.
The hill, said Mr. Farrow, wis
meant for the protection of the character
of women. The law degrades the
I institution of marriage when it stoops to
| weigh the da.'itiges which she lias sustained
l?y the failure of a man to carry
out his promise to marry her. The violation
of any such promise was no damage
to a virtuous woman. [Sensation
among the goddesses.] A woman who
I was so treated bj- a man was rather to
(lie congratulated upon her escape from
an unworthy partner, ind the taking of
| the case into Court had a demoralizing
j tendency. There was more in this bill,
continued Mr. Farrow, than was apparent
and while he bowed to the wisdom
| of the judiciary committee who had reported
it adversely, he trusted that the
! House would consent to its continuance
1 until the next session.

Ko othor complaints are so insidious in tholr
attack as thoso affecting tho throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by tho majority of sufferers.
Tho ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious exposure,
Is often but tho begluniug of a fatal
sickness. Ayer'b Cherry Pectoral haa
well proven its efficacy in a forty yoars* fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should bo
taken In all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cared.
" In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. I had a torriblo cough.aud passed
eight after night without sleep. The doctors
gavo mo up. i tried Ayer'b Cherry Pbctoral,
which relieved my luugs, induccd
sleep, and afforded mo the rest necessary
for tho recovery of my strength. By tho
continued uso of tho Pectoral a permanent
euro was effected. I am now 62 yeara
