" jnon thing in this State to lynch white
Bj* men. Possibly it might be a good idea to
g||r do as they did ont West on one occasion
in-a community where lynchings had become
entirely loo numerous. A vigilance

- lynchers.
We wish every newspaper man in
B South Carolina could have heard the
fe fine paper read by R. L. Freeman, editor
of the Bennettsville Advocate, at the
Ip meeting of the State Press Association at
8! White Stone Springs recently. The sub"
ject discussed was that of fixed and uni^
form advertising rates. Mr. Freeman has
?Vndopted this plan and finds that it works
Inmost satisfactorily. Every one should do

certain price and if the advertiser says

^Don't charge one customer a different
1 price from another. Have one price to

their ads. often. Newspaper men too

VJaction over the lynching of that negro
by- Williamsburg men. This brute shot
down a young man without provocation
J&iL some months ago, and when the jury fails'
ed to do its duty there was some excuse
to* lynching."?Bamberg Herald. And
1^--.- we confess to a mixed feeling of hopelesstess
and disgust at reading such an en?
|P. dorsement of crime in a paper that has so
bravely stood for the law and morality.
Jf lynch law can ever be justified how
its justification be claimed in this
Bi?r case ? If 12 white neighbors of the man
killed could .not agree that muraer naa
Hf- been committed by a friendless negro, is
; ^ the*Bamberg Herald willing to take oath
^3?^that they "failed to do their duty ?" Is the
Herald familiar with the evidence? Is
the Herald willing to turn over to the
Hp<: mob the execution of law ? Has the mur^Kpder
of that negro by a mob given weight
?|. to the law in Williamsburg county ? Does
gPt; 1he perpetration of two murders improve
the condition existing when but one murder
had before been committd??ColumV
' bia State.
Kgl We felt sure when we wrote the little
^ paragraph over which The State goes into
||p?: hysterics, that we would be criticised.
We have been, although no article except
||% the above has come to our notice. The
f|; . State has our sincere thanks for the state ??<
' Sent that this "paper has bravely stood
l||>- |or the law and morality," and we think it
assumes too much from our paragraph.
The weather is too hot to discuss this
^7 matter at length, but we cannot let it go
gpsfV unnoticed. The Herald is willing to say
and did say that "the jury failed to do its
Iff. duty." This is our calm judgment after
: reading the printed evidence. We do not
?p>; .endorse mob law, as The State well knows.
BS-' "Bnt the lvhchineof Cairo Williams, after
fib a Jury had failed to convict him, will, we
glfv believe, save the life of some good white
fp man in Williamsburg county. For this
^ reason, and this alone, "we confess to a
k|K feeling of satisfaction." We mean this
! much, no more, no less.
' Host certainly that Williamsburg jury
did not do its duty, for, after hearing the
evidence in the case, it failed to return
any verdict at all. Will not The State
agree with us that a jury who does not
agree on a verdict fails of accomplishing
' that for which it was selected ? By their
mistrial this jury left the case in worse
shape than before, thereby jeopardizing
the lives of other white men, in that their
action would lead the negroes to believe
that even a negro could not be convicted
for the crime of murder. There is an old
saying that it is sometimes excusable to
do evil that good may come of it. We do
not pretend to say that ihis is true, but if
there ever was a case where it was excusable,
this was that case.

From the number of candidates for
Sheriff in Colleton it is evident that there
, exists even in that county a feeling that
there should be a change.
An anxious public isa waiting in breath*
less silence for some action or statement
by Governor Heyward and Commissioner
Tatum in reference to disobedience of
prders by dispensary employees. How;ever,
we infer that it depends altogether
Upon whose ox is gored.
There has never *occurred, in the history
of South Carolina, a more brutal
and horrible affaii* than the lynching of
that negro at Eutawville, Berkeley county,
recently. It is to be hoped that the
solicitor and the other authorities will
succeed in bringing the lynchers to

convictions from the investigation of the
Eutawville lynching, we'll eat our hat.

Our friend, Col. James T. Bacon, of the

his write-up of the meeting of the State
Press Association at White Stone Springs.

The Columbia State brings out the fact
that the governor has not the power to
i remove the sheriff of Colleton., the right
of removal being taken away from the
executive a few years ago. It should be
restored. The governor ought to possess
the authority to remove any official when
he becomes satisfied that he is not doing
his duty.

THE DISPENSARY IN POLITICS.
Columbia, S, C., , 1904.
Mr. James E. Payne, Greenville,, S. C.
Dear Sir: I am taking the libertv of
writing to you in the interest of Mr. John .
G. Motley, who is a candidate for rail- 1
road commississioner, and of calling your <
attention to the enclosed endorsement of
his candidacy. A man is best judged by
his standing' at home, and our people .
here and where he is known have given J
unmistakable evidence of their confidence 1
in him. We think he is a man for the {
business interests to support, as well as
all others, and we know that he '
has the intelligence and the nerve to '
do right and the ability to defend the
riffht.w Above all he could never be <
dominated by the railroads or turned
from the path of duty. He is thoroughly
temperate, self-reliant and earnest in any
work that he undertakes. {
He is meeting with much encourage- <
ment and his election will bring into the '
State a competent officer who will protect 1
the rights of the people. 1
I will personally appreciate any inter- >
terest that you may take in his election, ]
especially in interesting your personal i
friends in his behalf to see that he is taken ;
care of at the polls on the election day.
Yours very truly,
M. H. Moblet.
The above letter was made public at :
the campaign meeting in Laurens last
Saturday. Maj. Jno. H. Earle, a candidate
for railroad commissioner, produced
the document. It is said to be a typewritten
circular letter, and was sent to a
beer dispenser in Greenville. The sender
of the letter is a book-keeper in the State
dispensary, and a cousin of Jno. G. Mob- 1
lev. a candidate for railroad commissioner.
Those
who do not believe that the dispensary
is being used in this campaign
will please note that the letter was sent
out by a dispensary employee and ad- (
dressed to a beer dispenser.
In the face of Commissioner Tatum's ;
recent circular to the dispensary employ- ;
ees, this letter comes to light. Particular
attention is directed to the last paragraph,
which says: "I will personally appreciate
any interest that you may take in his }
election, especially in interesting your i
personal friends in his behalf to see that J
he is taken care of at the polls on the ;
election day." Yet the dispensary is not ?
to be used in politics! Comment on the i
matter is unnecessary. Our readers can '
easily form their conclusions.
A Sight Not Easily Forgotten.
How shoulders have "come in" again <
with the mid-Victorian gown! It is the ]
moment, indeed, for the lucky, she who 1
possesess a faultless neck,for a really beau- !
tiful young person rising, like Aphrodite, <
out of a sea of chiffon and tulle is a sight 1
not easily forgotten. ]
Witness Agreed With the Lawyer. J
"Several weeks ago," said Judge Hon- J
roe, "I saw a witness take down a lawyer .
in great fashion. The witness was a
farmer, and he was in court complaining
that a certain fellow had stolen some of
his ducks.
" 'Do you know that these are your 4
ducks ?' asked the lawyer.
"'Oh yes, I should know them anywhere,'
and then the farmer went into
detail in describing the ducks, and telling
just why he would know them.
" 'But these ducks are no different from
????? * cftiH t.hp. lawver. 'I have
a good many in my yard at home just 1
like them.'

stolen in the last few weeks.' "?Louisville

Happy Days at the Fair.
A Kansas editor who stopped at the In ide
Inn at St. Louis, writes: "There are
more bellboys than guests in the inn.
They use 'em for change. When you
give the clerk $5 he hands you back $2
and a bellboy. My room is little far back
for meals, but I make it nicely. I start
for supper at 9 a. m. and stay for luncheon
on the way with a friend I know in
Room 2,507. But a friend of mine who
lives in Room No. 76,649 is up against it.
He got two days behind in his meals, living
out in the country at the rear end of
, the hotel. Finally he found that he was
nearer Moberly, Mo., than he was to the 1
dining room, so now he walks over to
j Moberly every morning."

CLEVELAND FOR CABINET?
Some People Guess Parker May Ask Him to
Take a Place.
New York, July 25.?Grover Cleveland's
repeated declarations for Judge
Parker have set the gossips to wondering
whether the judge, in the event of his
election, will not recognize the ability of
the former President when he gets into
office.
While it is premature to talk of the
possible cabinet of the Parker administration,
if the country should have one some
people would speculate on the future are
actually canvassing Mr. Cleveland as a
cabinet possibility, and the report is heard
that he may become Secretary of State if
Parker is elected. Another guess is that
he might be offered an ambassadorship.
