LAURENS. S. C, July 23, 1805. Tho Greenville Lynching. The world does not work all around as smoothly as every man and child would elect to have It. A llttlo oxpor . icnce and Slight observation will con vineo 'ihe most unthinking that he cannot have it all his own way.* In tho while our pooplo should understand that South Carolina is no punt up Utica. There is a world around us and about us and as man Is a gregarious animal and each individual dependent upon his neigh bor, so there are families of communities and states largely dopen dont mutually for prosperity and pro gress. Wo are lod to thoso rollectlons by what is recently going on in our midst, and notably tho Edgefleld mob and lastly tho Groonvlllo lynching.? There are, we would observe, cases In which extra-judicial process may bo. waived and tho court of Judge Lynch may bo summarily resorted to.? Thoso cases have been woll settled by tho woll understood sanction of at least onlightoned southern and westorn sentiment. Tho jurisdiction of Judge ?Lynoh therofore nood not bo onlarged. Tho Edgofllold mob was inexcusable, besides and asldo from patent roasons, it shows a low grade of civilization and a lowor tone of common thought. Wo loave morals out of tho question. Besldos, thoso engaged in that Edge Hold mob with a spark of manhood. must fool oxoruciatlng torture and smart under, tho terrible castlgation admin istorod to them by Col. Bacon whoso nieces, fair Edgeflold daughters, woro 'insulted. To this must bo added tho lynching at Groonvlllo on last Sunday night. Tho party chargod with mur rti?|fjb4J> that county would have been H^-tospoedy justice. Tho parties tvbxMlhltho rj?ching uro the juAfc?al machinery, Judge, Jury and Executive. There was thorofore no excuse wore lynching tho justlftiable rosort in homicide casos. Aside from all this the State and tho community of South Carolina have boon dono inflnlto harm. We aro in common with tho rest of tho world, and our people aro clamoring for development, growth, education, wealth, wo want tho commorco of tho world and tho help of tho world; we need not such demonstrations as to make mankind fight shy of us. It is a shamo that wo should constantly bo put Co the task of defending our character against tho assaults of rufllanism. it is not a question of defending tho honor of our women. In this ono man will go as far . "as he goes farthest" and possibly far ther. It Is time for thoso who look to tho welfare of tho State; who mould its --public moral*; who control Its loading sentiment; who have tho making of tho laws; whoso office It Is to see tho laws faithfully oxocuted, to Interpose a staying hand to the prevailing* mob law that overrides our boastod Christian and moral sentiment. We havo intelligent manly juries, who aro'porfoctly competent to admin ister tho law of murder. I_ i Your Touts. Oil Isorncll hSSRTiSKii has endeavored to Liurens readers and demo that tho approaching P^JToutslde of democratic prac d procoduro. Therefore wo havo advised that tho socallod conservatives steer wide of that primary. Thoy can accomplish no good by participation in It. They may vote in it and, put for ward candidates, who will bo swallowed up as by an avalancho or tidal wavo.? ?-By voting, tho "conservatives" may swell tho triumphant column of thoso who despitofully uso them. No good can come of such participation. So bauds off; havo nothing to do in it, or of it.? Keep your hands clear,'and at tho gen eral eloctlon, oxerciso your discretion. It will bo sutUciont for thoso who class themselves In tho opposition to adjust their future course according to cir oumstancos*. There has boon no olTor of terras of compromise, and whatever the opposition may or may not do,-they cannot change tho result. Thoy aro as volcoloss and powerless in tho emer gency as dumb blocks of wood or stonos. Lot them, thorofore, not mako them selves partners, whore they aro not equals; thoy will cortalnly llvo to re gretgoing into the primaries as more supos, as much as cortaln pettifogging ... lawyers upon tho bonclT will bocovored with ignominy a9 having consigned prisoners to tho penitentiary in this Btato without a legal trial. * * ? ^ S Conservatives?A Mlsnouior. I A Consorvntivo is defined ono who favors tho preservation and contin uance of tho status quo. If to favor, approvo and adhoro to tho, presont chronic condition of affairs in South Carolina is to bo a "Conservative," thon tho term as now applied is a mls nomor of the most gla; ing typo. Red '?'Republicanism, Jacobin, Jacoblto, bans * oulottos?exhaust Wobstor's Una bridged, if you liko. The Straightouts of Charloston, who got tired when Tlllman and Kvans ro treated^to uso a mlld-mnnnored, inno cent, swoot-facod term) from their propositions, aro happy in thoir des cription. Straightout, unadulterated domocrats, Is tho truo torm. While there can bo no name without a perfect State organization, words of descrip tion cover tho case sufficiently, and for tho prosont, wo aro simple, plain dem ocrats. Woro it not for Tom Watson and tho populistlo gang in this State, and our border noighbors who have stolen "Jofforson," wo mltfht oinbraco him as a convenient adjoctivc. # ? * The groat question is settled?the last young lady to arrlvo at Gray Ga bles Is to go through the world as Ma rion. He Uns Our Syuipntblts. A very clover set of gentloraen, who have been partially npothooslsed, made a constitution a little over a hundred yoart, ago; and set it down in black and white. Some millions of men havo been butchered in tho business of con struing tho instrument and enforcing their several constructions. A plain man, as ho delights to call himself, whose business it was to run a straight or crooked furrow, (as tho land lay) was seized with tho ambition to he a trustee of a college, to teach our boys to raise turnips and sweot potatoes. In this he has succoeded, but circum stances over which h ? had no control havo swept him Into tho arena of statesmanship and he now finds him self on tho lofty plane of a constitution builder and tho architect of schemes to run tho financial affairs of tho world. If a man once gets on the outgoing tide there is no tolling whore ho will land. Billows, sand-bars, rapids, cata racts, rock-rlbbod shoals a re all ahead of him. Wo sympathize with a man tompest-tossod and likely to bo "in tho doep-bosom of tho ocoan burled," who declares boforohand he Is no navigator, and only capable of vonturlng Upon a mud-puddle that a.half-grown bull frog can cross at a singlo leap. .* # Unbending Charleston. In a short editorial in our last Issuo wo misroprosontod our fair "City by tho Sea" as "willowy" Charleston. Their County Convention following hard'thereon shows our misconception. Tho Convention took high ground and exhibited a high stunden djof contempt for boss politicians. Thoy nominated for tho State Constitutional Conven tion llvo or six of their very abl?st and bost mon?real mon. Whatever tho constitution adoptod may bo, mon will bo In the convention protesting what is right and fair and honest, and ' the argument will bo placed on record for posterity, showing that thoro is high stato8manship in South Carolina. Wo congratulate Charleston. Vory nblo men sat in tho lato Missis slppl Constitutional Convention, und not unsuccessfully mot tho difficulties presented by tho so-called negro ques tion. It was a non-partisan body. So far as wo havo soon Tillman is tho only man of original and decided ability, outside of tho Charleston nominees, who has been suggested for the Con vention. . Shoppard, of Edgofleld, may bo oxcoptod. It is probable the result will bo a poor imitation and adapta tion of tho Mississippi Constitution. # * * Tho groat Georgia. Silver Conven tion assembled at Griffin, Ga , on tho 18th. Senator John Morgan was the prlncl pal'speaker, occupying the lloor for livo hours. Somo five thousand hearers sat out tho dolivory. Say the torture of Ustoning of ono auditor was equal to ton-horse power. Multiply by flvo thousand and you have tho sum of misery endured by. that assombly of martyred patriots. V* Thoro aro thoso In this Stato who call themselves tho "organlzod democ racy" and roll tho phrase under tholr tongues as if they woro afraid they might be mistaken #0r nondescripts. It is woll to bo on your guard, friends, and koop up the illusion. "Thoro aro thoso" and tholr name is log Ion. ? Wo noto that county oxpeutivo com mittees in various cases pass resolutions advising voters to vote for tho best men who offer as.eandidates for tho constit utional convention. Who are tho fools or babios thoy aro advising? * It is not an extravagant suggestion that there has boon more lynching In South Carolina In tho last four years than in any twenty years of the history of tho Stato. Lot tho statistics bo hunted up. *#* In Alkcn, Gov. Evans' county, an equal division of dologatos was agreed on through somo sort of boss leader ship and executive committcemon.? How they got together does not ap pear, but his Excolloncy says It was vox POPUI4I5 and ho knows. It has been said that Alken county was bossed by Gov. Evans. Ho donies tho soft Impeachment. Tho Governor will bo applauded for this evidence that ho is not to bo classed as a woak ling.

The most remarkable Water on the Market to-day which is Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country. Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for Harris Lithia Water. "I had long been a fleeted with kidney troubles. I had tried all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried the Western waters and all others that I could hear of, and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about asjgood as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in .Columbia, and 1 think every person who has tried it will agree with mo in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu manity, I would like very much to sec it given a trial. C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S. C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. Asni'.vii.i.k, N. C, .September, 1?, 1893. Mr. J. T. Harris: Wc have been selling the Harris Lithia Water for some time, and And it a ready seller; those who have tried it are loud in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. Wc predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become more generally known. Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH, Prescription Druggist. Prospehity, S. C. Feb. 2S, 18?4. Mr. J. T. Harris: I have been under the treatment of several physicians, and been to different watering places during the lasUtcn years for kidney disease. It affords me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit from the use of Hariis Lithia Water than all remedies combined. Respectfully, O. D.
