Miss Ida K. Hinds, an elocutionist
of national reputation will give an
entertainment on Friday evening the
27th, for the benefit of the Methodist
Church. To say nothing of the ob

well worth patronizing anyway, and
all who attend will be sure of a
rare treat. Miss Hinds conies
with recommendations from some of
the best known people in the country;

Cheraw, S. C., Feb. 20.—The body
of Miss Goodson, a young white wo
man, was found in Black Creek, this
county, a few days ago.
It appears that one day last week
Miss Goodson was instructed by her
father to carry five hundred dollars
from his house in Darlington County
to a man in Chesterfield, w hom he
owed. As she did not return, search
was made for her, with the above re
sult.
A negro named Alf Green was sus
pected of having murdered Miss
Goodson. He was tracked to Flor
ence, where he was arrested and the
money found in his possession.
Green was brought to Cheraw last
night and taken to the Chesterfield
jail.—The State.

The ladies of the Darlington
Methodist Church, will have a Fair
for the benefit of the church some-
time in April; and it is only necessary
to say that the management of it will
be in the same hands that have here
tofore gotten up a number of success
ful and pleasant entertainments. It
will extend over several dnvs so as to
hands this is one in which they are
justifiable, for it would be almost
impossible to conceive of a more bru
tal murder, The law should how
ever be allowed to take its course, for
the simple fact that once it becomes
costomary to lynch men who commit
crimes of this kind: the same sum
mary process will be resorted to when
the evidence is entirely circumstan
tial. A mob of indignant people
cannot give an accused man a fair
trial, and this the laws of the State

We will give the programme in a fu

which the latter resides.
Taking all these things into con
sideration, we hope that the law will
be allowed to take its course in the
case of Mary Johnson, and that, the
county may be spared the presence
of such a woman within its borders.
—Cheraw Reporter, 18th, iust.
[We most heartily endorse the
above, and only wish that this excel
lent article could be read by all our
people, especially those who arc in
the habit of wasting sympathy on
hardened murderers. It is very pos
sible for a man to kill another in a
moment of passion, and be truly sor
ry for his act; but deliberate murder,
especially in the case of poisoning,
belongs to a different category, and
it very seldom occurs that the perpe
trators penitence is anything more
than a sham: It is the issue they
repent and not the act; not sorry for
the crime itself, but simply regret
falling into the hands of the law.
There is so much, on the part of silly
weak minded people of this misplaced
sympathy, that it is time for such
excellent articles rs the one in the
Reporter. If every paper in the State
would take the same position, this
petition business would soon come to
an end. It is such a rare thing for
a jury to do its duty in a murder
case, that we ought to be content to
let the law take its course when a
murderer is convicted. It is most
earnestly to lie hoped that Governor
Tillman will refuse to interfere.
There is no good reason why a wo
man who commits, murder should re
ceive any more consideration than a
man.]

The Electric Lights.
.As we are to have the streets and
most of the stores lit up by elictrici-
ty; it would be a good idea for our
churches to be progressive and use
the lights also. They will, it is true,
cost something to be put in, but after
that they will prove cheaper, and
much more satisfactory than oil
lamps; to say nothing of being rid of
the great nuisance of attending to

Governor Tillman has announced
that he will exert himself to the

says. His efforts in this direction

It is very doubtful if some of our

on the part of one of the representa

to the readers of the Herald: On

We understand that a petition lias

the hanging of Mary Johnson, who,
iu company with D. J. Jacobs, was
convicted of the poisining of her
husband, William H. Johnson, at the
recent term of court.
Against such ptitions we must
enter our most emphatic protest, for
the following reasons: If Mary John
son is guilty of the murder of her
husband, William 11. Johnson, she
should, according to the laws of the
country, be hung; if Mary Johnson
