We ' have not room for long details unless of ? incidents in which the people at large are ' interested. 8t&" The lynching of the Ihrec negroos at Gaston, in Lexington county, last Mou- ( iluy. was n horrible aftair, but not more , horrible, in our opinion, than the criino ( they luul committed and for which they were made to sutler. We fully agree with our esteemed colemyorary, tho UrccnvHU News, in the following : "For our part we are entirely willing that all the people of South Carolina should be regarded as sympathizing with the (laston lynching. There should not have been torture or unn'.cessary insult oven to tho ringleader, because those things deprive the act >f the dignity and decorum which should > always mark the taking of hitman life. So far as the criminals are concerned we think f few people will lie sorry for them. They deserved all they suffered. Their crime was deliberate, brutal, merciless.

Sobriety and good order reign sup-cn?e in tiiis beautiful town of Union. A friend from the country last week told us that the good effects of closing the barrooms in Union was very apparent in his neighborhood. Ho says there is no running to town every few days by certain men. and going homo "full," inside and out, and quarrelsome. Instead of that their crops are worked better, and everything at liouie and around them is moving nlong quietly and smoothly. It is practical prohibition here, nod it is a very happy slate of affairs, which we sincerely hope neither a dispensary or "blind tigers will interfere with. We don't know that any coaie Uispcnsary detectives are nosing about here, watching for "blind tigers, hut if thero are. we hope they will do their duty. otner towns ore testing the dispensary law by voting for dispensaries to be located I in them, but we would like to see its pro| hibitory features fairly tested in l.'niou, by having no barrooms, no dispensary and no "blind tigers ' in operation here. We have no faith in theotatu law s'nnding long under either the local dispensary or prohibitory provisions. We consider prohibition almost nil impossibility, while we tliink the manner of conduc iog the local dispensaries w ill soon became so loose an J , flexible as to override the moral restrictions of the law and make (Item greater nuisances < than ordinary barrooms, to the utter disgust J of all decent people. t We are "loing as well in Union, we think, j without Mini hops of any kind, n< other \ places with dispen-uiics, and if there is a I tiger in lowu u is no more than in towns t villi dispensaries.

It is well known to those of us who pi tioipated in the reform movement of 18 that J. L. II. Irby put himself in the hi] position he now occupies by adroit manip Intion of men and means. However he m: have reformed under the reform moveme inaugurated by B. R.
