The foregoing makes mighty
interesting reading. It shows Tl
that even an abortive attempt at lisht
investigating a tyncning, sucn as Aike
was made in the Morrison case, vice"comes
high" to the taxpayers of Kail
South Carolina. It will be seen ?rn'fi
of the entire amount. bi

r last year of his special con m
jut fund lor "lawlessness and pi

67 54 was paid Messrs Hen- hi
Ilowio and Newbold on ac- ig
it of the Kershaw lynching, ft

e parties were for se.vices tl

stigation. It will he noted p

president of the Southern
way, in relation to the Souib- 01
1 delayed passenger trains u
3tween Columbia and the upaintry,
in which the Congresfeiau
strongly appeals for an imrovement
in the company's ser
ice. Why Mr. Aiken confines
is complaint to th" locality des

>r the grievance i? general, a
ict which The News has more

e thought that it would be more
roper for his colleagues equally

At all even's, we f-hould
