As told in The Constitution's dispatches from Columbia, the governor, not being satisfied with the efforts of the local officials to run down The alleged lynchers, sent detectives into the county with the result that five men must now face trial. The governor has taken steps to insure not only the arrest, but the trial. free from intimidation, of the men who, according to the testimony adduced, aro under suspicion of having committed the crimc in question. In liis efforts he has had the hearty support of the leading newspapers of South Carolina, who have been most earnest in their protest against mob law. In that state, as in every other state of tiit* south, the Sentiment is overwhelmingly against lynching, and if the authorities are all as determined as Governor Heyward In their efforts to Irad and bring to punishment the men charged with this crime against state authority, the days of lynching lawlessness will be numbered. It will not require many such evidences of determination to punish lynching, such aR Governor Heywa/d has given, to let the mob understand there is no place for it in th? southern states. Once the lawless elements understand this, there will be no more outbreaks to bring damage and danger and disgrace upon this section. It, is ininossiblo to nvnrpstlmoto Hin value to the entire south of such an act as that of Governor Heyward. That act shows, more clearly than any words cau, where the good people of South Carolina stand, and not only that state, but all others, are benefited. And the benefit, can he made doubly valuable by all officials demonstrating the same spirit In dealing with this great question.
