To the Editor of The News an Herald: The June term of cour was quite !hort as all thinkin farmers thought it should be but in that short court a prece ient was established, which, eve: if it be a custom fully guarantee< by statute, is it very dangerou one to establish for n people sit nated as we are in South Caro lina. Here was a man arraigne< for the murder of his fellow mai and public sentiment held ou the impression that this was ; case of cold-blooded murde without any provocation on th part of the slain man. It waf also believed that the State coul< make out a full indictment fo murder in the first degree. I that be so, why should the pie of manslaughter be accepted an< the small sentence of five year be put on the guilty party While this was an instance o "negro kill negro,"2 yet we shoul< be taught by all 'criminal court that even justice is only mnete< out in this jurisdiction. Sup nose another similar murder b, perpetrated on one of the bes citizens. Has not the crimina before the said act is perpetrate< Ifull reason to believe what hi: punishment will be, and has h not the right to believe that hi case should come under the sam kind of a tribunal? Is not suc] Ia precedent as this in part a jus Stification for Judge Lynch ti Ikeep these violators out of th< criminal courts? A Citizen. cotton Blossoms.
