In order to comply a meeting will be held at the court house here Saturday of this week, for the pur pose of reorganizing the Colleto.i County Council of Defense. At this meeting there will be a representa tive speaker from the State Council of Defense, and an effort will be made to perfect the council for this county in such a way as to make it a really effective working body. \V< trust that everyone asked to par ticipate will do so, and«that there shall be a patriotic response to the request for this reorganlzatl *n meeting. Tho court house should be filled and plans discussed for furthering tbe work of this council. We must gdl together and plac > Colleton county In line with the oth er counties of the State.

Why hard law If It is to b« act aside by a few men In this way? Jus! as well tear dowit tbe court house* and jails and turn the mat&r of punishment for crime over to the strong arm of the mob——and mobs are never considerate. ■ They do things no one In the mob by him self would do. The mob is a cow ard because It bolsters up weak lings and by force of numbers caus- i crimes to be committed. We cannot but think that a sber Iff and two deputies armed by full authority of the law, and as ofleers are usually armed with weapons of defense, could h*ve prevented th'.a lynching. The news as received here by parties from the scene of 1 I the lynching indicate that the mob grew very much for publication; Little resistance could have been offered. If Sheriff , Lucas Padgett. Deputy Ben Weeks and another able bodied deputy could not protect a prisoner against a mob of a dozen men, armed and with law on their side, they should resign at once. If the members of that mob had known that the first person to touch the prisoner would have paid the ’pen alty with his life. Best would today be Jiving, qnd this is true in nine cases"out of ten, yea. ninety-nine ou^ of a hundred. Another reflection that we can not escape is that if the negro had not been drinking the first crime would not have been committed. We wonder if the liquor he drank were Jamaica ginger, or ^ome other con coction sold by some white man In Fairfax or elsewhere. If so did not the mob know that it waft being sold, and if so. In their desire for vengenahee, why did'they not atr.o go to the seller and t lynch him r Funny how the mob mind works. What will Solicitor Gunter do about this? What investigation of this is Governor Manning .making" Sheriff Morris doubtless did not know of the blind tiger, or the" il licit seller,of lljuor in or near Fair- fax. if.there wore any such? Crimes multiply at times because one Mas not the nofve to hfoq them at first. The mob should be punished, ami thus set an example to other mobs under similar circumstances.
