Friday, Marcia 3,1893.
Lynch Lair,
The evident intention of a number
of the citizen's of Ixwington count)
to lynch a prisoner, charged with i
very grave crime, furnishes a strik
ing illustration of danger to societ)
that results from this species of law
lessness, anil the absolute importance
of doing something to check it.
Here was a prisoner, charged, it i
true, with a very serious offence, bui
of whose guilt there was great doubt,
in the hands of those who are entrust
ed with -the business of arrestin'
everyone who violates the laws of th
State, threatened with death at tin
hands of a mob of indignant citizens
who by their evident purpose shown-
that they have no respect for the las
themselves. It is simply idle to sa;
that the law is not adequate to read
even those who commit the moStatro
oioua crimes, and the great trouble is
that where execution by lynch law i
til lowed for one offense, it will soo-
be resorted to for the punishment o
far less serious crimes, and wh«n thi
conditioned affairs, to which son e
portions of the State are rapidly tend
ing is reached, our Courts of law
might just as well he abolished, and
civilization b» made to go backwaui
to the time when every man avenger
his own wrongs and when the weak
wer* absolutely at the mercy of the
strong.
Governor Tillman’s prompt action
iti ordering the military companies
of Columbia to hold themselves in
readiness to esodrt tbs prisoner to
Lexington ie commendable in the
highest degree, and his course wili lx
Sustained by every law abiding citi
Sin of the State.
The lynchers would bnrdly bar
attempted to wrest the prisoner from
the hands of such an escort, but il
they, bad they would have been
taught a lesson that would net havt
been soon forgotten; for deplorabl
as the bloodshed would hayy) been, ii
would have been far better for every
mau in the mob to hare been killet
than for them to have succeeded
Capturing the prisoner. Our material
progress and moral elevation wil
be hopelessly retai led unless we, ut
all times and under the most trying
circumstance*, maintain the suprem
scy of the law. Anything short oi
thu partakes of border rufRauisni
and is a disgrace to our people;
Governor McKinley, of Ohle
givfti an illustration of integrity that
should Wilt for him nut only the
admiration but the sympathy of every
ohe in the country, Through the
failure of a friend, he found hiraseli
involved very heavily as an endorse)
and instead of trying to compromist
the m at tor, promptly turned ovei
everything he had, including bis fur
hltiiro, library and everything that
could be converted into money, inti
the hands of i\ taste* to be used to
liquidate these endorsements, am
announced his intention to pay the
balance as soon as he could make tin
money, More commendable sti
Was the action of hie unselfish am
devoted Wife who, notwithstanding
the fact that she is an invalid, de
voted every dollar of her own pro]
erty for the same purpose. 8

The Weekly Papers.
The Columbia Journal says: “We
tSe.n only advance the best methods
and give the best advice to our party
and people by being directly iu touch
with them and that the daily paper
which cuts the weekly from its ex
change list seriously effects its influ
ences and gets away from the people
instead of keeping in Hue with them.
“In voicing our sentiment on this
^question the Greenville News says:
‘It is announced that the News and
Courier will hereafter refuse to ex
change for weekly newspapers unless
the difference in subscription prices
is paid in cash or advertising. It is
true' that the arrangements for local
correspondence now possibly make
the weekly newspapers almost vulne-
■ss for news purposes. They are
valuable, however, as guides for shap
ing the policy and regulating the
editorial tone of the daily news
papers. They are very close to the
people and express what the people
arc thinking and saying. They tell
m the thoughts ut the crossroads,! 1 e
country store piazza and the springs
at the churches, and how to meet
ud deal with all the varying iater-
estsand sentiments among the voters.”
As between the two, the daily and
weekly newspaper, we believe that
the latter exercises the greater influ
ence, and is a more ]>otent factor in
guiding public sentiment, and in
uakiug it take definite shape, than
ie great dailies that send theii
mammoth sheets throughout tin-
land. The influences of each indi
vidual weekly may not be ver.
great, bin taken as a whole tbe\
yield a power that penetrates to tl e
remotest settlement, bringing the
majority of the people within their
reach who, without being conscious
of it, are to a large extent guided in
their political action by the course cf
these silent weekly visitors. No
weekly paper can exist that does not
reflect, the sentiments of a large num
ber of people, and no party cat;
stand against a practically united
press, it being only a question oi
time when they must succumb to
the power of this mighty agent.
The truth is that the daily and
weekly are mutually dependent and
neither could well get along with
out the other. The daily gives newt
from all parts of the world, but it U
the weekly that touches elbows with
the people and reflects the sentiments
of the masses.
The late Senator Plumb, of Kan
sas, a mau of great ability and
very astute politician, subscribed for
every weekly published in his State,
and said that he could not get aloe;:
without them, .
