The Lynching of Jackson.
*The lynching of Willis Jack
son at Honea Path last week
adds another stain to the fair
name of South Carolina. It
cannot be justified upon any
-ground whatever. -There was
provocation for it, but it was
not sufficient to justify the peo
ple who engaged in it to commit
murder. The provocation was
great, we admit; it was enough
to stir Anglo-Saxon blood; the
ilty culprit should have been
"-punished. but with all this the
people who killed him should
have. allowed their brains in
stead of their passions to control
their acts.
There is not the slightest pre.
-te or excuse, nor the most
heinous crime that can be com
mitted will warrant or .justify
the taking of human life by
mob law.
Under our law one charged
with the crime for which Jack
son was1 -will ost surely
- is speedy dooi if caught.
The legislature has made even
the attempt or assault with in
tent to commit such a crime
punishable with death unless
the jury recommends to mercy.
South Carolina is governed
and controlled by the white peo
ple. Her judges and juries are
white men, and they have the
mittd t~lieui~X~ incases
(of this kind riot one out of every
hundred escape the penalty of
the law. The legislature has
also made the law such that the
victim of such an outrage can
give her testimony in private.
They are no longer compelled to
- appear in the court room before
the cu '~public gaze and de
the horrible, occurrence.
The law has thrown around
them every safeguard and pro
tection that is. necessary to
shield their timidity, good name
and virtue: and there is no rea

and prfsig Christians. If
so, how can they reconcile their
church relatioris and professions
with . the terrib'le crime which
they have committed? How
can they relieve their con
-sciencet of this stain they have
gought upon themselves? How
ceiai they reconcile their conduct
with the teachings of God's word
when he says, "Thou shalt not

The Men Who Advertise. E
The attention of our readers r
is called to the advertisements
in this paper. If You Will
watch our columns from week
to week you will find many
things to interest you and ben
efit you. Befoie you start to
town look over the Sentinel and
select what you want. then
make your purchase.
The wideawake business men
will advertise; it pays, and they
know it. They are the ones
who keep busy and their goods
move. There is ':ot a better
medium in Pickens county to
advertise in than The Pickens
Sentinel. It goes into the
homes of more thazn fifteen
hundred people in this county,
and we are constantly adding
new names to our roll.
The money spent for adver
tising is the best investment the
business man can make.
A contract has been let to
build a dormitory at Wofford
College to be known as the
Carlisle Memorial Hall, to cost
$50,000.
The report of the Peusion
Commissioner at Washington
for the year .now ending shows
that $157,325,160 have been paid
from the public treasury in
pensions.
Pickens county, according to
the last census, had 19.992 white
and 5,430 colored population.
Five thousand of these ought to
be readers of the Sentinel.
Justice John Marshall Har
lan, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, died in
Washington City last Saturday.
He was sick only a few days,
and was considered one of the
best constitutional lawyers of
this country. His last words
were, "Good-bye, I am sorry I
kept you waiting so long."
That Greenwood is fond of
being the meeting place of con
venitions is proven by the fact
that last year she entertained
the W. -M. U. Convention: last
week the Home Missionary so
cieties of the Methodist church
met there; Nov. 21st the U. D.
Convention, and Dec. 1st the
Baptist State Convention meets
there.
The McNamara case now on
for trial in Los Angeles, Ca1.,
will be a picnic for lawyers. It
is announced that the trial may
last from six to nine months.
One entire day last week was
spent in discussing the eligigi
bility of one juror and was ad
journed over until the next day.

The Pickens Association.
The Pickens Baptist Associ
ation met with the Nine Forks
Church about 14 miles east of
here last Wednesday, the 11th,
and continued in session three
days. The first day was rather
threatening and the attendance
of the delegates and visitors was
not very large but the next day
every church in the association
was represented and the atten
dance of visitors very large.
The body was organized by
the election of Hon. W. T. Bow-1
en as Moderator, Mr. G. R. May
field as Clerk -mnd Mr. R. T.<
Hallum Treasure:.
The claims of Home Missions,
Temprance and Sunday schools
was considered the first day.
The reports on these subjects
showed an increase and more
interest than for the previous
year. The Sunday school inter
ests was especially encouraging
and steps were taken to organize
a Sunday School Union to be2
held at some church every fifth
Sunday and Saturday before.2
A committee was appointed to
plan for these meetings and be
fore adjournment it was decided
to hold the first Union at Cross
Roads church the next fifth
Saturday and Sunday. The
secnd day of the meeting ws
clear and bright and a large
number was present. State
Missions and the Laymen's Mis
sionary Movement were the
most important subjects con
sidered, and they were both
represented by Rev. W. E. Wil- 0
kins, the Laymen's Secretary, I
who charmed the people with
his earnest appeals. These in
terests have a large place in the
hearts of the people of the asso- a
ciation, and they stand by them 5
with devotion.r
Foreign Missions was ably C
discussed by Rev. R. J. Wil- a,
iams of Greenville. h,

The reports and discussion!
ivere all of a high order an<
ihowed an advance ~over thi
previous year. Some splendit
sermons were delivered and lis
bened to with rapt. attention b:
Rev. C. A. Waters, Rev. E. T
Snuggs and others.
The -visitors and delegate
were generously and lavishl:
mntertained. They did not ex
pect less for the association me

n the county.
Among the visitors were Rev
and Mrs. E. T. Snuggs returnei
missionaries of China, Rev. L
