THE MANIG TIMES. Pulished Every Wednesday. WEDNESDA1 J#N. 18 1888. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. THE CHANGE. The public has already been noti fied of the fact that I have bcught the MAiVmnG TIMEs. I purpose using my best efforts to give the people of Clar endon a readable newspaper, and shall especially give attention to such mat ters as most concern, or will most in terest, the people of this county. I have bought the Tags for the pur pose of making money, and shall bear in mind that people buy those things that have merit and are needed. S. A. NETTLES. LYNCH LAW, We are decidedly opposed to lynch law. It savors of misrule, of lawless ness, of anarchy, and it should not be upheld or tolerated in any civilized ommunity. We can see how that in new communities, where, as it were, every man's hand is against his neigh bor, and the community itself is made upof lawless persons, there may very well exist "vigilance committees," which in themselves constitute prose cutor, judge, jury, and executioner. But we cannot see the need of such in any-community containing a duly or ganized court of justice. In the heat of passion, when the blood runs hot, is no time to judge and decide calmly and carefully the merits of a case in volving life and death, more especially when, as in most of such cases, the persons engaged in such an affair, con sist of the least reliable portion of the community. In almost every case the law should be allowed to take its course. If, however, such a case - -should arise as to demand immediate pnnishment-the community feels that a fellow man's life must pay the penalty of some infamous crime, then let that community arise as one man, in all.the strength and wisdom of its oldest and best citizens, and in broad = day light, with a full consciousness of doing right, let the deed be done. We doubt not but that many innocent men are hanged by these self-consti tuted regulators. Human life, it is true, is held too cheap in South Caro lina, but then whose fault is it? Is it soi the fault of the people themselves? Ts it the solicitor or the judge who sals to do his duty? Is it not the jury, ne from the same county as the scused ? We repeat it that human - life is held exceedingly cheap in this State, but then the people themselves are to blame. Whenever the juries of South Carolina do their duty, it will cease to be a reproach upon the State that justice cannot be had. And now the matter has come to a critical point, and one that will cause every sober-minded man to think it is time to-call a halt. To our mind, the recent lynching in Pickens was aclear case of culpable official neglect, and the. constable or' officer responsible f1or starting alone at midnight, with a prisoner charged 'with an inftmous crime, and in the face of threats of *lynching, ought to be held as an ac ~~~omplc. -True, the fellow lynched - .fl''~acu~was a poor, worthless, friendlessniim idf-giltyv of the - crime charged, ought to have been, and probably would have been, hang - ed in due process of law~jstill the pre cedent set is one that must do great * harm, unless it can be stopped. Lynch law has reached that point * where it must cease, or throw us into anarchy and ruin. 006D WEATHER ANDP PNiEUMONIA. * Another cold wave has struck our State, and it will tend largely to in crease colds, bronchitis, and pneu monia. Dr. Seibert states that hu - midity, cold, and high wicnds are the chief agents that promote the preva lence of pneumonia. Going out into and breathing the .cold air after occu -pying heated and close rooms, espe cially if there are prevailing at the -time high winds charged with invisi ble dust, the particles of which act as ..miechanical irritants on the lungs, will tax any one's lungs, and in many cases induce pneumonia or consump tion. -Every one should be very care ful this kind of weather. There are comparatively few people in this coun ty who have not been affected by the severe'weather we have had for the past five weeks. If when one first feels ---tat~h~sJ4ng old,_ he will at once -take five grains of 'quinine,^it will in -most cases obre the cold; and if in the first stages of a cold, five grains each of quinine and dovers powders are-taken on going to bed, it wiflin almost every case break up the cold. Rev. J. T. Kilgo, of the S. C. Con ference, died in Marlboro count, at the home of his eldest daughter, Jan. 4th. In Montana last week, the ther mometer registered ninetyone degrees below the freezing point. This was about sixty degrees colder than our coldest weather.. '*.The people of Florence pay high taxes. The town tax is almost a mill more than the State and County tax. That town believes in a low liquor li cense and a high property tax. Northern Republicans have intro duced a bill in Congress to regulate the elections in South Carolina. Such a bill-of course could never become a constitutional law, but then these Nprthern Republicans care very little for the constibution when they wish to The New York Sun is having a press built that will print, paste, cut, fold, and count 96,000 papers, four or B six pages eacL, an hour. This is at fi the rate of twenty-seven newspapers a t< second. k 0 It is authoritatively claimed that 0 George E. Haynsworth was not the I man who fired the first gun of the late n war at the steamship "Star of the t West," but that it was Captain George P S. James. 1 e The negroes in Charleston are rais: ing a fund to defend those negroes who are now in jail in Pickens, charg ed with lynching Waldrop, a white man, for an alleged rape upon a thir- r teen year old negro girl in Pickens, which resulted in the death of the child. Utah is making every effort to gain admittance to Statehood, but her former polygamous principles stand in the way. The people of that terri tory say they are willing to abjure polygamy, but let them do it first. C The Mormons are a tricky people, a and will have to be watched carefully. n pa The Louisiana State Democratic convention has nominated Nichols for a Governor. It adopted a platform en- c dorsing Cleveland's admiiistration n and urging his re-election; pledging 1 the party to economy in the State 1 administration; urging liberal appro priations for public schools; inviting immigration, and expressing opposi-a tion to the employment of convict la bor in competition with free labor. Ex-Secretary Lamar was on last Monday confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 32 to 28, to be an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme C Court. The Republicans made des perate efforts to defeat General La- 4 mar's nomination, because he was an r ex-Confederate. It is hard, very hard i for the Yankees to get over the war. They cannot realize the fact that the e South is again in the Union, and has a equal rights with any and all other f sections of the Union. e The Pistol Defended. The Sumter shooting has occasion ed the chorus of condemnation of car rying concealed weapons to be again sung by most of the newspapers of the State. There is a deluge of the usual watery talk about "enforcing the law against carrying concealed weap ons." Some of these newspaper t wrtters ought at once to be set about the business of "enforcing" this so called law. They would, no doubt, achieve a brilliant success in the work. It makes one tired to see so much about "the cowardly practice of car- 1 rying concealed weapons." What ; makes it cowardly- to carry a weapon concealed or exposed? It is not cow ardly, never has been, and never will be, to do so. Cowardice can only be justly chargeable in the use made of 1 the weapon. Not a few times has a e man been too cowardly to use a weap- e on when he had it; many a 3 time has one been too cowardly to r use it effectively. We do not approve of carrying con- t cealed weapons. Ordinarily a pistol i: in the pocket is a useless burden. ., Strapping one about the body and e strutting around with it at this day, is much like Don Quixote's arminge himself and going forth to battle against the winidmill. But there are r' timswben &istol at hand is a good t tingto have; even in t-d.tadt South Carolina during the closing C years of the nineteenth century. At j such times it is neither cowardly to y carry one nor to use it, if it be well b used. Had all the parties been armed c at the Sumter affray, there would have a been in all probability, results more in accord with right and justice than there were---perhaps, than there will be. Judging from the testimony pub lished, some of the shots there fired were in the dastardly manner of the b assassin sent on their murderous mis-g sion. One man was shot at while sit- t1 ting unarmed upon a bench, and an- d other was shot in the back. For this h sort of deeds there is no excuse, no T palliation; they mark the coward and ti should receive the curse. la The law against carrying concealed it weapons is the worst on'the Statutes T of South Carolina. It is practically e< without sanction-the essential part st of every law. It merely .places the C law-abiding citizen at the mercy of wv the outlaw. In every crowd of men ha on a street corner there is probably te one with a pistol in his pocket. How a< shall the fact be known ? Shall men's pockets be searched every day ? How fr is the "law" to be "enforced ?' Where of will be the protecting arm of the law bl when the pistol is drawn to do its X deadly work ? What did the bheriff th f Sumter do when the firing began in ID the justice's office ? What would, have fc been the result if Geo. Johnstone had at gone without his pistol the morning m of the shooting for which he has been tv eently tried ? The law has no right T] to disarm one man that another may gC shoot him with impunity. r Are the people of South Carolina wl children, that they must be disarmed cc to prevent their doing mischief? d Let us have less talk about the m "cowardly practice of carrying con- vil ealed weapons;" let us have a right- lei eous punishment for the cowardly and Ml urderous use of the weapon. It is ze hero the law should and can be en- b forced if proper effort is made.- Wil- in iamsburg Herald. tr For the next two months the pro- ne eedings of Congress will be specially m interesting. The great fight on the fe tariff and reduction of the surplus is de already on, and will grow hotter as the d days grow longer. The Democrats have placed the gauntlet at tue feet of .m< the Republicans and invited them toI de the contest. The Republicans are on led the defensive, and feel the necessity of at Too Much Sanctification. COIXma, Jan. 15.-The Rev. W. Shaw, a Baptist minister of Edge eld has become a raving lunatic, and >-day he cut his throat with a pocket nife. He is a convert of the doctrine f "sanctification," and his enthusiasm n that subject unbalanced his mind. Vhile Mrs. Shaw was attending a fu eral Mr. Shaw procured a tub of wa r, and kneeling over it offered a loud rayer. He then plunged the knife ato his throat. The act was witness d by an old negro man. Admission of States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-31r. Springer, hairman of the committee on territo ies, being interviewed to-day, said: Very probably enabling acts will be assed for some of the territories, that , we may pass an act enabling some f the territories to adopt State con titutions, and to construct the ma hinery of State governments prepar tory to recognition as States. The dmission of a new State is a very im ortant matter, and cannot be done n mere application or on any mere rithmetical basis. An impression has ot abroad that a territory must have certain qualification to qualify it for dmission. There is no law and no ustom about it. The admission of a ew State is entirely a matter of leg >lative discretion. It is within the ower of congress to erect No Man's and into a State and admit it to ie Union. The State of Illinois was dmitted when it had less than 40,000 opulation. Dakota has over 600,000. :ongress in its discretion may exclude )akota and admit No Man's Land." Concealed Weapons. Mr. S. W. Monteith, a lawyer of olumbia, has written a letter to the dews and Courier calling attention to be prevalence of carrying concealed reapons as a fruitful source of crime. le tells of a pistol being seen in the lip pocket of one of the highest State icials, as he aroso from his knees fter the litany in church, and about tve solicitors of the State meeting and ach one pulling a pistol from his >ocket. The friends of Governor Richardson bought the article reflected upon dm, and the correspondent of the Pews and Courier states that the Gov rnor has never carried a pistol on his >erson. The article is very caustic and evi lently contains the truth. It shows rhy it is so difficult to convict men of he offence of carrying concealed wea ons-public sentiment upholds the practice. But public sentiment could >e taught to condemn it, if the law of icers would make it both dangerous nd disreputable by a strict and fear ess enforcement of the law.-George non Enquirer. The Late Carolina Earth Shocks. The late earth tremors in the Caro nas appear to be a marked instance f seismic disturbance by sudden hanges of atmospheric pressure. On Vednesday morning the barometer ead at stations on the Carolina coasts bout 30.32 inches. But thevast an -, i-cyclone of high pressure then sweep cg down on the Southern seaboard ras rapidly increasing the load on the arth's crust. On Thursday morning he barometer had risen to 30.70 inch s on the coast north of Charleston. ;light as this sudden jump of pressure ciay seem, it added a weight of more han eundre&aitn thnsand ons upon every square mile of the arolina coasts. Humbolt thought bat earthquakes only occur rith barometrie changes in regions ut little subject to shocks. The re ent disturbance in the Carolinas has pparently no grave significance.-N. Herald. The Northwest Storm. Mmmous, Jan. 14.-The storm's ack is broken and the railroads have one patiently to work to burrow ieir way through the hard packed rifts. The snow is as hard and eavy as sand, and baffHes snow-plows. he Northern Pacific trains came in s morning eighty and fifty hours te. One of them had been snowed fifty miles west of here for 72 hours. he Northern Pacific has had an ex ~llent opportunity to test rotary low plows and with entire success. ver 200 miles of track in Dakota, ith snow averaging fifteen feet deep we been cleared by one plow in six en hours. This is an unparalleled ~hievement. WASHNGTON, Jan. 14.-Dispatches om the Northwest record a number deaths by freezing in the recent izzard. A school teacher named iss Curtis, was frozen to death on e way home from school at Delamoc, akota. Near Sioux Falls a man was und dead standing beside his barn. id another lay all night within a half ile of town, in a snow bank, be reen his horses, thus saving his life. aree children at Garrison, Nebraska, t lost going home from school, and mained out all night. One was dead ben found, the other two may re iver. W. H. Headly, was frozen to lath near Barkstoo, Dakota. Two en were frozen to death near Marys lle, Montana. A farmer named Al and his son were cautght near itchell, Dakota, and the son was fro a to death, and the father will lose th his arms. Another man is lost the same neighborhood. A freight sin is blockaded nine miles from itchell, and the crew have had noth-. 3 g to eat since Wednesday. In the *ighborhood of Aberdeen, Dak., ten en were caught by the storm at dif rent points; four have been found ad, and the others are probably ad but have not been found. C The loss of live stock has been im ense, some actually freezing to ath in stalls in stables. Two belat- ~ stock trains from Nebraska arrived St. Joseph, Mo., last night, with Notice of Farmers' Meeting. The regular meeting of the Clarendon Agricultural Society will be held in Man ning, Saturday, January 21st, 1888. J. E. DAVIS, J.E. TIN DAL, Secretary. President. Notice!
