AS TO LYNCHINGA well established principle of law is that t;the law will excuse wheia it cannot justify, and mitigate when it cannot excuse, if the transaction has proceeded from a proper motive and the injury to the party is not greater than he deserved," therefore we do no violence to our deep rooted reverence for law and order when we cannot condemn the people of the Price vil'.e community for taking the law into their own hands and summarily dealing out merited justice to the mis" creant who cut-red the sanctity of the home of one of their fellow citi- j zens and attempted by brutal strength to befoul the person of his wife, nor do we wish to be considered in these comments as defending those men: they simply did their duty and need no defense. We are opposed to lynch law except in cases of rape. The protection of female virtue ani the puiity and chastity of our tiresides are the paramount duty of true manhood and he who fails to promptly respond to the pleadiDg call of his helpless loved ones whom God has made dependant upon his strength and courage in the hour of their peril, is au uumitigated dastard, an arrant coward and the sooner he is blotted from the race of men the better it will be for law and society. But the principle reason why we cannot condemn lynching iu cases of this character is the horror of the thought of subjecting the innocent vie tim of man's depraved lust to the indignities and humiliation of an open trial. Is it not sufficient that she v i /v _:i i SDOUiU suiteriu sueua'aim imucutuv of the privacy of her own home, the mortifying knowledge that the sacredliess of her person had been ruth lessly assulted by a brute in human form? Why, then, subject her to the further humiliation of being dragged from her retirement and forced to tell the story of her misfortune and injury to a promiscuous crowd of unfeeling listeners and scandal mongers whose love to gloat over the misfortunes of others generally lead them to gather in large numbers at the trial of cases of this kind? Why permit her to undergo the trying ordeal of a searching cross examination and oftentimes insulting questions of a paid attorney? No? The Dearest tree and plow line should be the fate of all ravishers, whether he be white or black, as soon as his guik is established. To the unknown defenders of home we doff our hat id respect! 1011 uid doc act in accordaoce with the law of the land, but you did with that of God and nature. Nearly every day fresh evidence is added to support our contention that the Southern cotton mills are formidable competitors of the Northern mills and the location of cotton factories south of the Mason and Dixon line will eventually drive the mills of the North out of existence or force them into the manufacture of linwns and the liner grades of cotton goods requiring the use of sea island, kmg staple and Egyptian otton. The Northern mill men are alive to the seriousness of the situation which confront them and have made arrangements to temporary ment this competction by reducing the wages of their employees from the President down. It is only a question of 4i,? ,?:n IUC UUUIU V? 111 IUC centre of the manufacture of cotton as it is all ready the centre of cotton raising, and as the Northern section has prospered and nourished under a protective tariff, it logically follows that the South will do the same. The experiment is certainly well worth trying and we trust that our Senators and K presentatives iu Congress will succeed jn au (ffoit to have the Dingley law amended so as to have raw cotton placed among the dutiable articles. The agony is over: the dice has been cast and the bouyant heart of many a gentle and fair South Carolina maiden which, until recently, beat with hope and expectancy, is now filled with the sadness of disappointment. A beautiful and charming Connecticut belle has won the prize and led the captive ex Governor to Hymen's lovely altar aud the chuius of matrimony firmly rivited by the little god C?pid. In other words j former Governor John Gary Evans was married in Waterburv, Conn., last Wednesday to Miss Emily Plume. i Wonder if the handsome cake which j was an ornament in the executive mansion so long, was cut on the happy occasion? j Senators Tillman and McLiuriu, j who have been quite ill at their respective places of abode in Washington, are reported to be convalescing. The former is suffering with stomach trouble and the latter with typhoid fever. MMMB??BP?M?IIIIH ?111 1 MIIMIH 2?ixgd Pickics. Gathered from Exchanges for the j Readers of the Dispatch.

DeWitt's Witch j Hazel Salve gives instant 1 c lit I and 1 cures permanently. J.

' of numerous JL UC UUiv.im uvu\<v Cleveland appointees are beginning ! ' to fall and Republicans are being substituted. Such is politics, in which the spoils of office are parceled ; out among the victors. Miss Leila the daughter Ex Seat- j tary of the Navy Herbert, committed j suicide in Washington yesterday by I jumping from a window in the third slorv of her father's residence. i Florida expects to semi 20(r,000 boxes oranges North this season, ! about double the quantity shipped J last year.

In a recent interview, ex-Governor .Juku C Sbeppard is accredited with having said that lie was out of politics, giving as a reason that the income 1 from his law practice exceeds the j salary of a Cjngressmau and he could not, therefore, afford to neglect it for j the uncertainties of politics. J. C. Berry, one of the best known ; citizens of Spencer, Mo., testilies that ! he cured himself of the worst kind ' of piles by using a few boxes of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salvo. lie had j been troubkd with piles for over J thirty years and had used many dif- j ferent kinds of so-callled cures; but j De Witt's was the one that did the i work and he will verify this state- ; tnentif any one wishes to wiite him. j J. E. Kaufinanu. The town council of Mankato, Kan , has passed an ordinance squelching | whistling aud singing of the song "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." j It is claimed that it is being sang to j such au extent that it has become an : istolerable nuisance. Iu response to a reouest of llishop i Capers of the Episcopal Church, the i ministers of the several Christian de- | nominations of the State preached a j sermon from their pulpits Sunday ! morning against the shedding of j human blood. The Prohibitionist of the Slate in j convention assembled, have issued j an address to the people of the State, I demanding prohibition pure and j simple and condemning the sale of whisky by the government in severe terms. J. M. Thirswend, of Grosbeck, Tex., says that when he has a spell of indigestion, and feels bad aud sluggish, he takes two of DeNVitt's Little Earlv Risers at night, and he is all right the next morning. Many thousands of others do the same thing. Do you? J. K. Kaufmanu. Ou accouut of the small pox scare at Hock Kill, the medical commission appoiuted by Governor Kllerbe deemed it wise and proper, under all the circumstances, to recommend the temporary closing of Winthrop, which his been done and the doors of that institution will be closed until January 3d. The Atuericau Cottou Growers' Protective Association met in Memphison the 20th. It was well attended and transacted considerable business among which was the endorsement of the Stokes" anti-option bill and suggesting that the farmers of each State meet on the first Monday in February and proceed to organize. The latest aspirauts for Governor of South Carolina are \Y. C. McGowau of Abbeville, and Hon. George D. Tillman of K lgefield. | They are both good men and would make good officers, but Governor Ellerbe is a better mau and will make a better Governor, and the people will keep him at the head of the State government for another term at least. The Souvenir edition of the I'uion Times is a credit to that paper and the town alike. It is replete with j sketches of dwellings, business | houses and mills and etchings of | some of the prominent citizens of the town. * It was issued in celebration of the forty-seventh birthday of ( that excellent weekly. We extend j hearty congratulations to our con- < temporary for its enterprise.

To the Children of St. Stephen's S. S. and Their Friends. Dear Children: It seems we arc not going to have a Christmas tree this year, so I have decided to write you a letter on another line of thought. You know that it is written in the Book of books, "it is more blessed to give than to receive." You have been alwajs receiving gifts, especially at the Christmas tide; but ail children are not so favored. Suppose we unite and send a box to the children of our Orphan Home in Salem, Va, as other churches have done. The papers say that the orphans "need clothing and other things." I know that there is not a child in the Sunday School that could not donate an apron, dress, pair of warm stockings, handkerchief, soap, towel, cap or gloves: so think of your comfortable and happy homes and kiud parents, and do not forget the orphans. Here is our plan: After today there will be a box at Mr. \Y. F. Boot's store for this purpose: and everybody who will contribute can carry their articles there and hand to Miss Xola, who will have charge of the box, and will be pleased to see that it goes in all light. If it cannot go as a Chri>tmas gift, let it be in time for tlie New Year. But let us all remember God's wonderful gift to us on the world's first Christmas eve. Hoping you may enjoy it, I append a few stanzas that I wrote two years ago for some little friends: A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Angels sing it, Warblers wing it, How there came a little child. Shepherds tell ir, Winds reveal it, How he came so meek and mild. Murmuring brooklets. Waving leaflets. Tell of Jesus come to earth. Dew-drops glistening, Breezes whispering Of the King with lowly birth. Little children, Let us love him, Let us own th^ gracious King. He has bought us He has taught us, Let all eaith his praises ling. 4 U 1 A1- LA c? a .uemuer 01 me o. o. i .
