i drowned in Muldrow's mill pond, 51

s
morning. Mr. Wilhntgliby was
tishing in the pond and was at- s

hoards tilted, throwing him into j'
the pond. An attempt was made
to save him. but it was of no
avail, and it was half an hour or
motc before the body was found.
All manner of restoratives were
applied, but without effect. Mr.

the probable lynching of White 11
last Sunday evenim*. lie took ..
J n S
1 his text from Cor. v, 13: ' Therefore,
put away troin among ourselves
that wicked person.''
After referrimr to the delav in k
o " " %'
bringing White to trial, Mr. KlI
wood said: j.
"Should the murderer of Miss t
_ i Bishop ho lynched f Yes, but 1
| only under one condition, and ^
| that is this?if his trial shall be
i t I
delayed until September and then, t
, j though he bo proven guilty, i
1 through some technicality of tlie y
i law or any undue influence upon s
1 either judges or jury he ho given ^
not capital punishment, then the ^
! citizens of the State should arise I
(
I in their might and execute the a
(criminal and thus uphold the ma- *
! je.sty of the law."
i n . s
Mr. k. I wood said today: 1" .
j am sorry it happened as it did. 1 j
I believe the man should have had I
a legal trial, but 1 also believe
that he should have hud a speedy
trial. The lesson we cm learn '
1 S
from last night's oil'break is that
. c
the people are tired of the delays -j
I of the iaw. Certain terrible i
1 crimes require stern and speedy t
punishment, and when tlio ma- I
chinery of the law is not set in
motion the people, impatient of c
the delay, move themselves," <
