C., feeling that in the death of our sister, Mrs. J. J, Boyd, Dec. 21^ 1813, have losLpne of our most faithful and interested members, wish to offer the following resolution: First, that in her death the VV. M. S. of the Rosemary Baptist Chnrch has sustained the loss that will be realized, and desires to express by these resolu tions the high regard in which she was held. ' , Second, that we extend to The mem bers of her family our deepestgynapathy in their great bereavement. \ Third, that these resolutions be spread on our record book to her mem ory. Fourth, that a copy of these resolu tions be tendered b^i* family and fur nished the Baptist Courier and The Barnwell People for publication. Mrs. Chester Kennedy, Mrs. Leila Trotti, • Miss Iva Hair, Committee. The following timely words from: the Anderson Daily Mail, relative to the re sponsibility for lawlessness, seem to us so eminently worthy of the serious consideration of every citizen that we pass them on to the renders of The Peo ple: **• One great trouble with us in South Carolina—one reason why this State is so far behind other states in so many respects—is tee little respect we have 'or the law. A great many of us do not pay any attention to a law that we do not like. We are not deliberate law breakers; we jiist ignore the law. And that this tendency is just as strong among those who like to ?think of themselves as belonging to the better classes—those of us who are educated and intelligent and fairly weH-to-do— makes it all the worse. We speak of the “lawless element” when as a mat ter of fart, there is little if any dis tinction. Some depraved people vio- ate certain laws deliberately, while others, who would resent being called criminals, just ignore certain laws they do not like and let it go at that. They argue that it is an unwise law, or one that would cause great inconvenience if obeyed literally, so why should they bother with it? We do not like a law against the sale of whiskey, therefore we encourage the blind tigers. We do not like the law against carrying concealed weapons, therefore we go around with a pistol in our hip-picket. We do not Jike the law against gambling, therefdre we meet with a few congenial -friends and play poker or other games for money. Or we may at^ue that these are good enough laws for people who do not know how to restrain themselves and should be enforced as to those people, but they were not intended to apply to us and our friends, who know how to behave, and so we will just- go along and ignore these laws in so far as they apply to us. - ’* And so it goes. ' We ignore the law that we do not find it convenient to obey, and othep people ignore the laws which they do not . approve of, and it goes on down to those whom we call the “lawless element.” They violate laws that we think all people should be made to obey, and we rail at the offi cers for not enforcingthe law. We de- clare in our wrath and shame that it is a disgace, that the State is being ruined. And that is true. But the ruin is not being wrought by the lower classes; it is being wrought by those of us who know better, but who do not do better. We cannot expect the ignorant peoplfe, (those who have hot had the advant ages that we have had, to do better than we do ourselves. When they see us ignoring one law it is pfdrfectly nat ural for them feel that they have a right to break other laws. And—mark this—when we set out to enforce the Jaw against them, 'and allow the privileged-few of our own set to go free,'there is^going to be deep resent ment and we need-pot be surprised if there is serious trouble. If the trouble comes it will not be thfe ignorant clases who will be so much to blarney-those of us who have set ourselves abovd-the law will be to blame., It may be said that there are unwise laws on the statute boks. That is prob ably true. ' But who can tell whether a law is wise or not if it has not been observed? If a law is strictly observed its unwisdom can soon be determined, and then it can be speedily repealed A lauv not enforced is dangerous, for it brings on non-enforcement of other laws—laws admitted to be necessary. It is better to submit in patience to a bad law than to bring about the non enforcement of all law, and we are . _ _ __ i. * V I 1 „ ^ ' J. T V l 6 ■■ ■ J •7'«r mM • Notice to Debtors and Creditor*. JULIUS WILLIAMS SHOT. Wu» WitnaM in E. P. Best Morder TriaL—Assailant Surrenders. Julius Williams, colored, was serious ly though not fatally wounded Saturday night by Israel Burroughs, another ne gro. The shooting occured in Williams’ house and is said tq have been caused by the threatened ejection of Burroughs if he did not desist from cursing in the presence of Williams’ family. Three shots were fired, all of which took ef fect, one in each shoulder and the third in the arm. The wounded negro was given immediate medical attention and is now thought to b« well op the road to recovery. ' . Burroughs made good his escape, al though a diligent search was made for him. He' returned to Barnwell Monday night and surrendered to the Sheriff. He will probably be tried at the ap proaching term of Court. t Williams, who does not bear a Very sayory refutation, was a witness Jn the trial of Scott Madison and Gilbert Miller for the murder of E. P. Best in Decem ber, rapidly approaching the.latter condition right here in South Carolina. This js a matter that the people ought to be thinking about and trying to bring about a change. If we do not soon bring about a change we are going to have some very bad times indeed in the State—much worse.times than any we have yet experienced. Philagathos Master’s Sale. .
