Sp cicl Messngo from Governor to L^g slature j In my annual mcs.-ngo to your 'honorable body reference was made to law It ssness in our state, the frequent occurrence of lynchings being dwelt upon particularly. The necessity of respect , boiug paid to tho law by civilized communities, was urged in this connection. You, the lawmakers, had not been assembled here a week, when another evidence of this lawless spirit is 1 given in the lynching at Keeves. ville. The gjvernor is popularly , credited with the power to prop vent or punish these outrages against the state. In reality he nn.,n.io..11.. 1 HT ( 10 i av/1 lua11 y |JU\VUri818. W 11CU I notified, 1)6 may sometimes frustrate the mob by the employment of troops, but when the crime has been committed, his hands are practically tied. The me igro rewards ho h is been empowered to offer out of his contingent fund have proven ineffectual? and this is as far as s ho is permitted to go. In the meantime the spirit of lawless , uess is unchecked. Any band of lawless innn may feel secure 5 in taking tho iife of a fellow-bo iug on almost any pretext This di p'orablo condition ought to bo remedied. To comnol greater respect, the proper respect, for the tu ij 3sty of the law, 1 recommend the enactment ol J ( special legislation in reference ( to lynching; that the great reI sponsibility of oflicials directly charged with enforcing the laws be brought home to them, and that m >ro ofFectu il measures be taken for the apprehension of persons who take the law into their own hands. In lieu of some such legislation 1 suggest that the governor be provided, with an adequate fut-d for the purpose of suppressing lynching; a fund that may be used in ollerimr miit>?ni? ? ?. r> ^ wards or in obtaining evidence against lynchers in such manuer as m?) bo deemed best. I sinccrly regret tho necessity fo- this, and am not desirous ol additional responsibilities, but I will not shirk any duty thai 1 the general assembly may see fn ' to impose for tho welfare ant good name of South Carolina. 1 1).

I found the good whit t people apparently willing to as ^ sist me in discovering the guilt; |( parties, hut none of them couli give information leading to th j arrest of any who took part 11 the lynching. Negroes appear - ed indifferent, and I could ge no information or assistant from them. 11 appears that Gen eral Lee waa in bid standing with his own people, some o thein acually expressing sur prise tlmt ho bad not boei dealt with in like manner severa a years ago. Notwithstanding tin fact that this negro had attempt t ed sev-.'nil other assaults ct 8 white women, the good whiti 1 peoplo of Dorchester deeply re gret th i lynching." *Ie says he will continue t( u try ti do iiii duty aud in thii ho will have the moral suppor of the best citizens.
