They say. in 5^t^?v*o1?tance, in their presentment at their V late term of Court, that they know ~ ^ nothing of the outrages in that County 'i except what they team from the news? papers and the Judge's charge. Gos -tip must be ata discount in Fairfield, or such remarkable acts as have been ^i^J^ :-performed there would, certainly be - >?, w^Perei^ wound a little. That same organization thinks that more stringent . laws -should be passed against the abases " : which the regulators are regulating. It ||^?~~#eems to an Outsider that it would be - V : far more profitable for the Grand Jury . to make an effort to enforce the laws now in force against wrong doing. C J Trial Justices are talked of ali over &i^;46e-Stato, Everybody is talking about them, and if we knew anything to say ,s?"Jg sboiat these necessary evils, we would f'.- *J?n the hue and cry, and talk too. ,, There seems to be a substantial ^gree r cient among their critics that either the . 4 ii win ?reference to Trial Justices, or -die morals-of the gentlemen need mend :;4og. They should have the moral pow . er to resist temptation, or should not be placed in the way of it. As at present, / the critics say that trial justices have every inducement to decide against the - . litigant who has the mo&t money, both . - because of the sympathy for the poor ': maor anet from the laudable desire of - y . getting his cost?. Both these reasons . ' strike responsive cords in man's anato ^ A most open, flagrant, and unblush? - ^ lag vio?atKHJ of the law occurred in Spartanbtirg last week. Two negroes C-.'s;?' -'j. were ec^fined in jail, one for an attempt ?pi?p^p^ the other for ihorder, (the latter had been tried and found guilty,) and a- mob of men marched into the town and surrounded, the jail wita the intention of lynching them. The jailer had warning of th*ir intentions, and secreted the negroes in the woods from whence they were brought to Columbia and put in jail at that place. The mob remained in town all night searching for their victims; and remained during a part of nest day, without concealment of any kind, tba showing their utter contemptjofthe law, and a complete recklespfiess in vio? lating it. This rej-n^rfcable affair is the legitimate outcome of the toleration of lyach law^by our Judges and Juries. THE G. & "ff. C. B. H. The Georgetown Enquirer takes exception at some remarks of ours, published two weeks ago, in ref? erence to the Railroad which we hope to see built to the Northwest. We frankly I admit having forgotten the vote taken by Georgetown last February, when charging that town with indifference, and therefore must, we suppose, plead guilty to ''monumental ignorance" in? stead of "flagrant misrepresentation."' The indifference of the neighboring counties still remains an uncon trovertcd fact. It seems to be assumed that the pres? ent programme of running the road by Sumter is a change from the original plan.. Now, is it not a fact that Sum? ter has all along been considered one of the fixed points of the read ? And if so where is the wrong in building the road thus far ? It seems tc us that if the original intention was to build the road to Sumter, and it should be built to that place, the inducement to com? plete it to Georgetown would be far greater than any that can be offered now with so much uncertainty around it. \7e admit that Bringing the road to ? Sumter will deflect it somewhat from its direct course to Georgetown, bat we believe the trade of the town is of suffi? cient volume to pay the additional ex? pense. Sumter will be beaefitted and so we want the road, not to keep it from Georgetown, for we shoald be de? lighted for it to be coo tinned to that town. It is our nearest seaport and we should bc glad of a direct line to it. And if Congress should ever improve its harbor, the commercialjr^ia^bnbe tween Sumter^^^^Tcorgetown would probability become intimate, rant the road built, we want it ^Sumter, and will be glad for to Georgetown after it it's fair isn't it ? Tl According to previous announcement, Rev. M. W. Gilbert, colored, of Mich? igan, we believe, delivered his lecture upon the "Negro in Ancient History," last week ai the colored "Baptist Church, j The lecture was weil written, and de? livered in a distinct and impressive manner. The speaker quoted liberally from ancient authors, and Herodotus, Homer, Livy and even Sulomoa were made to contribute towards establishing the high raak and great prowess of the Negro in those faraway, prehistoric times. ' The lecture, however, was a failure in proving anything not known before. The speaker must be aware that the Ethiopians, the Egyptians^ the black men to whom ancient history refers, had no affinity whatever, in race, character or disposition, to the negro, as now represented by the freedmen of this country. And really we see no misfor? tune to the colored people in not being able to prove direct descent from- the ? black men whom Homer tells of, or the warriors whom Cambyses feared. A race or a people should never be proud of a glorious ancestry, the honor of which they never sustained ; and we suppose the most bigoted Negrpphilist would hardly claim anything for the negro race, as a progressive deople dur? ing the last ten centuries. If they have the stuff in them to make a name and a history, no more fortu? nate opportunity was ever offered than is now presented to these people in thc Southern States. Oar Anglo Saxon forefathers groped for centuries through the twilight darkness of mediaeval aees 1 seeking more light. Building a little here, adding a little there, they slowly j emerged from the age of experiment 1 experiment in politics, in religion, in j the social and civilizing Jr.fluences of i law and order-to that of reasonable certainty. The civilization of which we are the proud possessors, came as a reward of those long ages of experiment, end the negro is so situated that all this rich heritage comes to him for the , asking. There is no need for him to prove that he has a history running j back to remote antiquity, that he was a great nation when Pharoah ruled over the classic Nile, that Solomon sung of their female loveliness ia his matchless verse, that Candace entrusted her count ! less millions to his care. There is need for them to learn the lessons of life which if properly acquired will make j them more useful citizens even though j they become poorer politicians, which i will show them the need of thrift and j economy in their every day life and j which will give them a desire fer greater independence both in finance and pol? itics. This is of far great importance than a noble ancestry, and comes home to the practical needs of every one. The town election at Kingstrec pass? ed off Monday the 14th, in a quiet man? ner. The following is the result: In- j tendant, M. J. Kirsch ; G. P. Nelson, I J. E. Porter, L. Donath, H. Blakely, j Wardens, ? THE NEWS AND COTTRIE^'AND THE STATE PRESSjf. We hear and read a wonderful amount of nonsense about the subserviency of the State press to the News andJjouriei\ and are puzzled to understand how newspapers, at least, caifentertain such an opinion-thajx?sif they read their exchanges^^ We d^ubt if a leading newspaper in ajay^tate in the Union is as freely crit cised by papers of its own political faith as is the News and, Courier by its con? temporaries in South Carolina. In fact they are sometimes too free and caustic in their criticisms; and if the paper it? self has no vulnerable point to attack, they hit at Capt Dawson, forgetting that the News and Covrier should not be held responsible for the private faults of its editor, such as having been born an Englishmen and other criminal deeds of a similar nature. When the News and Courier goes astray, the State press is by no means backward in saying so, and any one thinking differently, cither does not read the papers or is singularly ignorant of the meaning of plain words. The News and Courier is a great pa? per. There are many others in the coun? try more wealthy, but we do not think it has a superior in all that that goes to make np a newspaper. We differ from some of its ideas, and whenever necessary, have no hesitation in saying so, but we still admire it, and the State is under obligation to Capt. F. W. Dawson for giving South Caro? lina the best newspaper it has ever had. DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. C. Five young men have recently left Sumter for this College. As our Coun? ty bas always been well represented there, it may be of interest to many of our readers to know that the present outlook for the Institution is brighter than it has been for years. Rev. L. McKinaon, for two years past the popu? lar and efficient Pastor of the Presbyte? rian Church in Columbia, has entered on his duties as President and has aroused a life and enthusiasm hitherto unknown there. Over one hundred students have already been enrolled, coming from North^_Caj^]ifia^^1itu~| Carolina, Georgia^?lorida, Alabama, zn?^GZ?: More arc known to be coming, and with such a field to draw from, and such inducements in the shape of high grades of scholarship, in connection with careful morai and re? ligious culture, there is no reason why her halls should not soon be Ulled. Candidates for thc ministry and sons of Ministers of all denominations of Chris? tians, are given free tuition, and young men of limited means are allowed to give their notes" foT tuition, payable when they become able. Good boara*-} can be had at $8 to ?10 per month, and there are no temptations to extrava The New Deal. ''The cry for a new deal in State offices raised by several precocious pa? pers is about as lonesome as the whip? poorwill's song. It has evoked no fa? vorable responses except from trough politicians out io tue cold and aoxious to get office."-Barnwell People. We have been reading oar exchanges very carefully lately, and if there has ever beea a political proposition since 1876 more unanimously endorsed by the press and sustained by the people, we have forgotten it. It seems to be a very puzzling ques? tion to the one or two opponents of the new deal to naderstand why there should bc any desire for a change. The Fairfield News and Herald answers the question very satisfactorily as follows : **The "new deal" furore is still raging in thc State press. It seems to be the almost unanimous sentiment that a change is desirable. There eau be no objeciion raised to our present officials. They have been faithful and honest, but we think -that a rotation policy in our country is a very desirable one, as it has a 'tendency to relieve the office? holders of any idea that they have a life tenure of their offices. It is a principle of the Democratic party to have rotation in office, and the people throughout the country have spoken plainly on the sub? ject when they so strenuously opposed a third term to Grant. We believe the principle is the same in the minor offices as iu the highest ia the gift of the people. With regard to the State House .''ring''' wc believe there is none, and there is no evidence that there has A HORRIBLE SENTIMENT. People may say what they please about it, but facts prove that "check," coupled with rascality and. a lack of conscientious scruples, will give a man ten times more success in this world than intellect and business capacity, coupled willi modesty, will do for him. -?wt tnt tr 11 <i Ich uta n. "Wc are surprised beyond measure to see such language in such a staid old journal as we've always regarded the Sunder Watchman to be. Facts do not prove that a mau can succeed in the wurl 1 better by being a cheeky rascal than by being an intelligent, compe? tent mao. If thc young men who read the Watchman believe and act upon what it says,, instead of succeeding in thc world, they will wake np some line morning in the penitentiary. The sen? timent in the above paragraph ?3 devil i>h and false, and ruiuous; and it is a shame to teach such lessons to the young."-Sunda ij Dhpatch. One would infer from the credit to the above estract which has so stirred j the soul of our contemporary, that it j was copied from our editorial columns, whereas it was a mere clipping which , has been travelling the rounds of the^* press for some time, and for which wjr= assume no responsibility. However^ we have been thinking over the matter since reading thc criticism of the Dis? patch, and fear the ''sentiment," "hor rible" as it may be, is a true bill. We would be glad to think the opposite was true, but we fear not, we fear not. We are glad though to know that our contemporary appreciates the Watchman and Southron so well as to read even our clippings. We try to make it a readable paper and this little incident encourages us. WHISKEY AND VOTING. The following account of the election in Greenville last week is a striking proof of the general "cussedness" of whiskey, and of its specific evil at elec? tions : "Crowds of negroes were collected at various places in the City on Sunday evening and "penned'* during the night fer the purpose of being used early on Monday morning at the polls. 13oth sides were reported as being ioterestcd in this affair, or rather the friends of both the Briggs and Rowley tickets. Many of the negroes when they were brought to the polls seemed to be greatly under the influence of whiskey, and also several of the white men evidently seemed so affected. The result of ali this was a perfect jumble of humanity, in a brute state being driven up as cat? tle to the trough, and voted as intelli? gent beings! A great many of the better class of white men and colored men expressed themselves as disgusted with the proceedings of thc day. About eight o'clock a white man knocked another down, leaving a bruised eye as the result of the lick. Not long after? wards several darkies got into fights with each other. Between nine and ten o'clock we heard some one say, "Two white men are fighting !" and wo after? wards learned that they were both of our clever young men, and probably a few hours before were fast friends. Through ali this fighting, knocking and quarreling, thc good citizens of the place, who voted, had to elbow their way, not knowing whether their per? sons were secure from violence or net. Several of thc combatants were arrested and locked up, but a goodly number were allowed io go uuarrestcd. It was the most unorderly, unruly crowd that has ever been collected at our heretofore comparatively quiet polls. -Green ville Mo unta in eer. If the rather queer antics played by the voters in Greenville do not co;^dnce~ the whiskey advocates of tha't city (we niejuUlie^?e^"^^ the prohibi? tion of the liquor trafSc is a necessity, at least during elections, then they are incorrigible.
