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

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.

was an ornament in the executive

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

The latest aspirauts for Governor

| They are both good men and would

Ellerbe is a better mau and will
make a better Governor, and the
people will keep him at the head of

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.
