AI n I as to the ?11 lit ot' the men.
there seems little room for doubt
if the press reports of the eoufessions
made by all of them are to
be>erodited. The sheriff of la'X
inflton eoiinty is to he eommend
ed for his aetioii in rushing two
of 1 he aeeilsed to the jail ill S.i
\aiinah to save South Carolina
the disgrace of a lynehinjr.
Had he heen ronton! to try to
hold the prisoners in the Lexington
jail, hotli would have heen
put to death hy the moh wliieh
luid formed for that purpose. We
have in South Carolina eonrts iho
people have established to try
men aeeused of murder, and mi
less we are 1?> revert to a state
of semi-eivili/.al ion we eaunot afford
to ilenriv.' the ..I'
their right to function in such
cases. in this particular case.
1 li?t?? isn't one chance in n thousand
of a miscarriage nl' justice.
If tin* men accused of tlir murder
c?f William Bra/.ell :uv guilty,
they will pay for tin* (Time with
tlit*ir lives. There is an ureasional
instance in South Carolina
of men charged with capital offcnscs
escaping the punishment
their guilt merits, hut hy ami
large this State is ahnut as free
of that sort of thing as most
States in the I'nion.
A meeting of the joint committee
on printing of the (leneral
Assembly of South Carolina will

contracts for puhlie printing. The
constitution of South Carolina
says that the puhlie printing;
must be done hy contract. Somebody

it is unfortunately a little more

be tried, but regardless of that,
his reputation is gone and for the
