We do not like to dwell upon the a,
horrible crime for which Henry tl
("lay Beuttie paid the death penal- 8t
ty in tke Virginia penitentiary last a
Friday, but we cannot pass the in- hi
cidint over without contrasting the rj
activity of Virginia justice to the ^
lethal gy of the law as it is ad- st
ministered in this state. In little h;
more than 90 days after he had n<
committed the crime Beattie had tli
been tried, convicted, lost an ap-iri
iieal to the supreme court and was q,
electrocuted. As we review the cir- c.j
cumstanccs of this case our mind'
harks back to nearly three years
ugo when a prominent man in tli: re
State was charged with wife ntu: S(
der. Tliis man was t wice tried ii j fo
, t'?e circuit court, then an appeal
was made to the supreme court, and et
finally after all the schemes of 1 ! w
sourcOful lawyers had been exhaust- n,
ed he was committed to the pent- j?
ten iary to serve a life sentence. v\
Certainly his case is a striking en
tpast of the slowness of South Car- f0
olina justice to the swiftness of w
justice :is it is administered in tj,
Virginia. ier

la a well-meant, but no doubt '0
impulsive moment, a friend, broad ' ''
of mint? and big of heart, for whom
we have a very high regard, sends 1,1
us a clipping from a current num- ,J
her oi the ldlerary l?igest, which n
takes Gov. Blease to task for adv.i- n<
eating lynch law, with the followiug ^
comment written on the margin i?
pencil: "I am as much opposed to ?''
lynching as any man, but 1 agree
with Gov. Blease in saying that
when a black brute puts hia iumla
on a white woman the sooner he is
buried 6 feet under ground the better
foi* the country." Every white OI
man who is true to tlie instincts of ['
his race will agree with Gov. Blease u
that "when a black brute nuts his ' N
jit?
hands on a white woman he should
be put six feet under ground, but
not every white man will agree with
His Excellency that he should be
d./Ue to death by mob violence. If
tlf?re were no established courts <>f to
ju - '' . :mi well-defined laws of or- a'
t h
g axed society which guaranteed
e\ ry r.an the right of trial by jur.
bef< e inflicting such terrible
pu lishi tent as the death penalty,
there could be no strong objection
to lynch law, but just so long a: j
we continue to erect and maintain in
temples of justice and to adopt laws
for the protection of society there
can be no discrimination in the j-j;
class of criminals to whom these Si
laws are to be applied without neg- '''
ativing the very object for which (<
these institutions were established. v.
In that *fact alone lies the danger la
of lynch law. Even if man should ai
write into the statutes another j"
statute giving the mob legal auth
orlty to inflict the death penalty ai
for ihe crime of criminal assault. It
would not be very long before the ((
country woukl drift back into . (p
state 'of semi-barbarism, the whip- ,\(
ping post would re-appear, capital
punishment would follow petty of
fences, chaos and confusion would
reign and there would have to be
a complete re-adjustment. and re-or-1 rt
ganization of society's laws before st
peace and order oould be restored. D
And Jf It ever comes to the point 2
where public sentiment condom jj
lynch law, even without giving tb< C
mob legal authority to take human It
life, conditions will be atill worse ;
It to not the crime Itself, but tt j ?
erll that follow?. 1
Shop Talk.
Beginning with the New Year it
i our purpose to make The Herald
Irictly a county paper. We do
ot mean by this that heretofore
"he Herald has been in spirit anything
else but a county paper, beause
it has always stood for and |
dvocated those things that makei
;>r the very best and highest in I
n enlightened and progressive
Itizenship, but like a majority of
:s contemporaries it has devoted
x> much of its space to affairs on
tie outside and too little to those
n the inside.
By making The Herald strictly a
ounty paper we mean that here
fter every section of the county
fill be represented by a live and
ggressive correspondent. The dair
happenings in every community
rill be told in the columns of The
lerald by weekly letter, which we
ope to make interesting and inLructive
to the readers in other
Dmuiunities as well as to the
eadero in the community from
rhich the letter is written.
The wonderful progress of the
ountry, combined with the rapid ex?nsiou
of the rural route system,
pmed an avenue for the invas>n
of the weekly field which was
>o inviting for the daily publica011
to resist, and to-day news 2 4
ours old is not news, even in the
- liiotest sections of the county. The
irmer 16 miles distant from the
Junty seat has read his daily paersa
before the business man in
>wn has disposed of his morning
jrrespondence.
We saw this condition two years
?o and endeavored to meet it by
lbscribing the the New York
id other metropolitan papers
lilt C:*rrieH a fllllor (ulnw...
g on his building.
Mr. I\ A. Moody, of Pleasant
ill, was in this section Sunday.
Rev. S. B. Wilson, of Kemper,
It* d his appointment at Bermuda
in day, and preached a very forcie
serine11 to a large and attentive
nigregation.
Mr. J. H. Moody, Jr., of Mt. Caiiry,
was ?n this section Sunday
st visiting friends and relatives
id I guess trying to offer strong
ducements to some of the young
dies of this place.
W. C. McKenzie was at Hamer
id adjoining section last Saturly
on business.
Mr. Kemper Brewer and dauglit,
Miss Km ma, spent Sunday in
lis section visiting at the home of
r. S. W. Stephens.

srvice. This plan enabled us for
time to give our readers news'of
rppenings which could not be cai
td by their dnily papers, but in
ie meantime the efficiency of the
irvice rendered by the state dailyis
been improving, until to-day
nthing of importance happens in
ie world that does not reach th;
iral route subscriber almost as
tickly as it reaches the town <
ty subscriber..
Our object always has been to
ve cur readers NBWS, and not a
-hash of something they saw
mie other paper several days berthand.
This has been a dii
ill problem. It is a problem that
inl'ronts eveiy publisher of s
eekly newspaper. We have spared
ither time nor expense in improvg
tiie efficiency of the news s? r
c ot The Herald, but as before
ated some ether policy must b
Mowed, and hereafter our policy
HI be to cover our own county a*oroughly
as it is possible to covit.
Beginning January 1st we hope
have a force of actiie correspondits
at work in every section of
Hon county. The leading feares
of The Herald will he "CounMcws,"
while state, national and
** II-.w? iit*ms win not no
iglected, but will be greatly connsed
You can aid us greatly in
is new undertaking by banding to
r correspondent in your particular
ctlon any news item that may n
interest to our readers in any
her section.
This is a rather frank and candid
itement which may draw the fire
criticism from some of our weekcontemporaries,
but nevertheless
is a condition which exists in
cry weekly newspaper office and
s truthfulness cannot be doubted.

Cold mornings just now are very
ul on cotton pickers and the cotn

County Fanners' Union Meeting.
To the Farmers Union Members
and Locals of the County:
There will be a meeting
at Little Rock, S. C., with Little
Rock Local, December Oth at 11 ?
m. All locals are requested to
elect delegates at once to the county
meeting, as there is business of
importance to attend to.
It is the time for election of officers
for the new year. All the old
officers are requester! to be present
and as many of the members as
possible.
All the local secretaries and
treasurers are requested to forward
their reports with dues and fees at
once, to county secretary, so the
books can be posted up and render
a report on the year's work. All
defunct local unions are requested
to attend the meeting and reinstate,
and get back to work
again.

ROBKSON FARMERS MA KK MONEY.
Tobacco Was Paying Crop in Robe- !
son This Year.
An enterprising warehouse company
in Robeson county is running
an advertisement in the Robeson
papers allowing the net proceeds
from a number of tobacco crops
planted in Robeson this year. The
statement of the warehouse company
makes such an excellent show-;
ing that it completely disproves the
contention that tobacco is not a
money crop. The farmers cf Robe-;
sen did so well with their crops
that The Herald takes the liberty of
making a news item out of thej
warehouse figures with the hope
that it may induce some of Dillon i
county's farmers to renew the cul-.
tivation c f tobacco.
