AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
The escape of Macon Lesesne
turns loose upen us, fresh iiorc his
crime, the perpetrator of a deed
the most revolting in the category j
a! crjtae. We are by no means'
an advoctate of lynching or mob
violence and have invariably,
when the occasion demanded,
deprecated this particular kind of!
law breaking. When the would ;
bp ravishar, Hamilnton McGill.l
wps captured, there was a healthy [
*
sentiment that the law be given
a, chance; and, as w$$ expected,!
his conviction and punishment j
(puicklv fojlowpd. The, course of!
action pursued was a departure ,
from the usual method of dealing]
* w;lh criminals of this type and'
ttie law,resnecting people of the
county. hoped that the day ol
lynching bees was past.
The escape of Macon Lesesoe
Monday night under the circum-,
stances was, to put it mildly, most
unfoitunate. Men w'k wary most j
anxious that the law be respected ;
now openly express regret that:
the negro had not been ^iven a j
sport shrift at a rope's end, and i
if he should be captured it is ex- ;
tvemely likely that such will be
his fate. We can sympathize
with aud appreciate the feeling
ll^at our people have been poorly
rewarded for tuejr forbearance.
It now looks as. if the prisoner
had finally escaped. Search for him
oritside of the authorities has been
abandoned.. We do not .knew
what the sheriff is doiug, but we
hope and believe that hp. will use
every means in his power to effect
a recapture.
In comic opera parlance, <;We?
have met the enepiy anil we are
theirs,-' so far as yesterday's presi4eutial
election is concerned*
Prosperity and '-the full dinner!
pail" proved a tliicker set man'
I
than the average rank and file of!
voters could withstand, an$ tlie |
peerless Bryan again goes dnvn
in defeat. Mr. Bryan made a
grand struggle, and he deserved,
success if ever a man did. Like;
Henry Clay, his genius shines un-i
dimmed in deteat, and like that
epinvnt Kentuckian it can be
said ot William Jennings Bryan: j
Nothing mean, low or grovelling
ever entered his head or heart.,J
A REVOLTING CRIME.

immediate prospect of his recapture.
Till. PRISONER ESCAPES.
Monday, at night ;ud, Sh^riiT
Itaniel, ac'ing under orders telegraphed
Vv Governor Mcisw coney,
took the prisoner from the jail to
the railroad, there to await the
coming of the 0 o'clock train, with
the intention of conveying him to
the penitentiary for protection.
There was no attempt to lynch
the negro, and none would have
been made. Still, the sheriff was
but obeying orders from the chief
magistrate of the State when he
attempted to "spirit away" the
prisoner. The sheriff had Lesesne
handcuffed and apprehended no
attempt at escape. But escape
he did, and in a very simple way.
The two were walking along tlie
railroad track towards the depot
when the negro suddenly dodged
back out of reach of the sheriff
ami nv?i!p n ilash for tlie river
swamp. Sheriff Daniel quickly
got together a posse and scoured
the surrounding country. Parties
were out searching all night and
telegrams sent to neighboring
railroad points. Several men went
to Lanes to intercept iiim there
should he attempt to take the
train at that place. But all efforts
weie vain, and the prisoner
is still skulking in the swamp or
has made good his escape. Public
feeling runs high, and should
Lesesne be caught it is pretty certain
that he will not cause any
more trouble.
The negro freely confessed his
crime so that there is no doubt as
Ki? mult Wp can onlv hoDe
that ihe efforts being made lor his
recapture will uot fail and that
the authorities will not rest until
he has been recaptured.
At 1 o'clock a. in. Tuesday the
sheriff wired to Florence lor bloodhounds.
but the reply came that
they had none to send.
This is a matter that concerns
every citizen of the county\and we
hope that every one will feel duty
bound to lend his aid in keeping a

Laid to Rest.
The remains ot Mrs. Virginia
Lee, whose death was chronicled
last week, were laid to rest at the
W i 11 i a tr s b u rg ce m e t ery 1 as t Th u rsday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
funeral services were conducted
by Iiev. G. T. Gresham at the
cemetery. All the stores in town
were closed and business suspended
from 3 o'clock until 5 p. m.,
j and the whole town attended the
i funeral. Thus was shown by an
! act more forcible than words the
| love that was borne toward this
noble Christian woman.
