U'l.t. Lynch Law. The opponent* of lynch law, and these Include all law-abiding citizens, will find a strong argument in the lynching last woek at Houston, Mi-s., of two negroes for the same crime. The body of Mrs. J, C. Williams was found In a pit under her bouse. She had been clubbed to death and stripped of a diamond ring and other jewelry. The crime occured Thursday. Andrew Williams, a negro, was arrested ami charged with the crime. A mob took him from the jail ami hanged him Friday. The same night Divel Rucker another negro and an euiplove of Mrs. Williams' father, was arrested and hidden by the sherltf. He was found by a mot>, taken from the oflh-erv the official < ourt stenographer aummond to take lilt testimony, and after con fessing to the crime in tne pre.euce of |*er»on», was condemned to death He w*» chained to a steel pump In the Court House >ar.|, oil- aoaked wood piled about him and whlla the officers of the law looked on, powerltki to prevent, be was burned to death, in his confession Rucker declared that Williams was guiltless of tba murder of the white woman. That Is the trouble with lynch law and mob rule, and this lncide.it should serve. In a measure at least, to cool the most ardent advocates of Judge Lynch A mob la usually composed of a crowd of frenil«<J men who have lost com- pl«ta control of tb«lr faculty for sound Judgment,and ulna tlmasout of tan,are bent on killing eomebody, whether h# be the guilty pereon or not, thereby eulnlng their own hands w|;h blQOd iod patting a bloi dn the fair name of their mother State. But because thtio raeh took the law Into their hands, an Innocent human being was foully murdered (there can be no other name for It.) It matter* not what his color, he has a right to the protection of the law. Had cooler beads been able to dominate the situation, who doubts that a speedy trial and conviction, would have followed*the confession of Rucker, and justice would hav? been eativtled without resorting to mob vio lence f wwll’a baIa tboroughfAr*. Wt r«A)tM thAt tb« offloe of OOOMllBAB Ia the •BtAllAr towns ta a tiMnkiOM position to bold and that the boo who hold theae offices are “cuaaed” In and ont of aeaeon, but It really aeema like there might be eooe way out of the mud. In another colamn we are pub lishing the views of a Barnwell citi zen, and while the street may be dry and In good condition when this paper goes to pres*, still It will give the people something to think about. Barnwell should not be like the Arkan san, who, when asked wbv be didn’t tlx his leaky roof replied, "Well, you see. when it rains I can’t lix it and when it ain’t raining, it don’t need tlxing.’’ The Corn Show Is Still Open. Those who have not alreatK availed themselves of the opportunity to at tend the Fifth National Ut.rn Expo sition in Columbia have been given a few days of grace, and we urge every one who can to go up to Columbia this week and see this great agricultural exhibit. Under influence brought to bear last week, the powers that be de cided that thev would continue the ex position until Friday night of this week. Everything will remain intact and the belated ones will see and learn just as much as did those who attend ed earlier. You won’t begrudge the little time and money that it will cost you to spend a day or two at the show. Aiken got'iuite a bit of free adver tising, of a certain kind, out of the Beach trial, tint f r om a di.-tsnce It look* tike there was "much ado about nothing,” It is very interesting to note that ont* result of the trial is that the Beaches and some of their friends have sold their Aiken property and from this it is presumed that thev will no longer spend their winters at that resort. If this is true, Aiken will lose more than she will gain by the affair. K.-hionablc women in I.ondon and Fans art* now hav ing artith ial dimple* produced on their faces to enhance their heau'y.

I3C dcAth of Mrs. lUry Coward on Satur day last, following a fall which she sustained several days before. She waa 88 yean of age and a better woman never lived. Mr«. Coward waa twice married, and ia survived by her tonf Mr. M. 0. Wall, of Dunbarton. Al though $ PCpfOSfentative of The People made persistent inquiries, he was un- albe to get any other infornation than that given above. The sincere sympathy of a host of friends goes out to the loved ones in their sad hour of bereavement. , Little Lady Can Can. While at the Augusta corn show we saw the exhibit made by the Girls’ Canning club. Among then whs the display of Lillie May Dubose, of Aik en, S. C. She pm up 1,492 quarts of canned goods from one-temh of an acre, and waa awarded prizes amount ing to $7 LOO. But leaving toe prize feature out of the question, the canned goods were worth 4,.L This Is equivalent to |siL00 per acre. Of course this includes the trouble and expense of canning the tomatoes and beans; but it goes to show the value ' of putting our products Into ttis prop er conditions to bring a good price. These tomatoe* uncanned might not have brought upon the Aiken market more than $1 s.(hi, or there may not have been any salt* for them at all. These canning clubs have a double value; they teach the girls how both to produce and to oreserve for future use. Some farmers complain that they can not sell oat* and corn for money like they can cotton ; tint if they w ill learn to put these oats and corn into chicken*, pigs and fine cattle they can sell them at a double profit. —Southern Cultivator.

U), 1913. Editor Barnwell People:— Having made the the second visit to the 5th National Corn Show, and spending the larger portion of five days on the grounds, I feel that I am justified in urging every one, especially the farmers, to visit the show before the close. The officials have decided to continue it this week. The purpose of my last visit was to attend the meeting of the Farm Demonstration Agents held there instead of holding it later af Clemson College. The more any one sees of the ex hibits the more he is impressed with the vastness of the show. Every phase of production and conservation is stressed. It is educational in every way. I urge, you Mr. Farmer, to stop working long enough to go up and get your brains busy. Yours truly, A. M. Sanders, Local Agt. NOTICE TO DEBTORS AND CRED ITORS.
