^^'3^:^: -violation,' - The law requires the
SSS-/County Commissioners to advertise in a

^^^^rMUotc$-the paper to charge its transient
rates for such workr/provided those
^^^^|:r???ff?fo not exceed one dollar a square

.tb.e benoit of doable advertising for poe
price; ajad still jinese economical gen?
tlemen who compose tbe Board are not
satisfied hut insist upon a lower price,
and tbe papers refusing to give one;they
bave resorted to pine trees and ot&er
prominent objects for their advertising.
Very, possibly these gentlemen' are
trying to do their duty, but they are
evidently densely ignorant, or stupidly
prejudiced. We suppose they have not
?attempted the reduction of legal fees ID
any other quarter than among the news?
papers. Ko doubt their salary reraajs<
untouched, their Clerk is pah^.-al? the
law allows, their stationery bills are
paid io fail, but wheri-krcomes to news?
papers-ahj^tfeere is the place to prac
tice>setmomy. The editor has to fill
itp with something and why Dot put in
all this advertising. It's interesting
reading and the people will be glad to
see it. That is their side of the ques?
tion, forgetting or never knowing that
the advertising patronage of a paper is
its main support.
Newspapers do a great deal-of charity
work-none do more unless it be
preachers and doctors-and" they ara
willing to do it, but when it comes to
County officials refusing to: pay what
:4&e State says shall be paid, it is high
.tjme to protest.
; We are inclined to think that the
presiding Judge, at tho next term of
the Aiken Court, will make those
County Commissioners feel smaller than
they have since the last application of
the maternal slipper, in childhood's
happy Jiour.
THE HULE OF THE MOB.
. We copy from the Edgefield Adcer
dser an account of the lynching of 0.
T. Culbreath, in that town last week.
We cordially endorse the sentiments of
cur contemporary and are glad to see j
tbat^j^ fare sustained
ld County, and that
ntrage has aroused
nt horror in every
outspoken expression of
ran auspicious omen, and
put of the enormity of the
me:'~This much- of good.,
will see that such fia
f law -must cease ; and
spire together to take
f even though the victim
murderer, are themselves
and except in the case of
that they be held strictly
2__for its violation.
tolaj^?r?y-ftl-j
mos?M^ H tjrould be
were there
book for the n'-r^rPHW^^^WTaiinals
and the majority of executions are at
the hands of mobs.
We can bat see the grave wrong in
all this. The utter contempt of law
which such acts instill into tho minds
of thc young and thoughtless will, in
the future, bring forth a terribie har?
vest of crime. ?f a dozen men have j
the-right to join together to punish a j
criminal for wrong-doing to another,
they will soon begin to think that they
have1 the right to avenge their own
wrongs, and the reign .of might would
soon prevail.
The rule of the mob, as was exhib?
ited at Spartanburg two weeks ago, and
at Edgefield last week, must be checked
if we. would have the law respected, and
we are glad to see that the coroner's
jury in the case of Galbreath are doing ]
their part to bring about this desirable
end. They fiod^tfe? 0. T. Culbreath
came .to his death from a gun shot
wound at the hands of Wm. Parkman,
and that Wyatt Holmes and other par?
ties unknown to the jury were accesso?
ries thereto." Such a verdict, for such
an offense is a great victory for law and
order over the rapidly growing senti- j
ment that favors the administration of j
Judge Lynch's Court, and will have a ?
most wholesome influence upon the law- j
less element who think it is thoroughly j
qualified to act as judge, jury, pros?
ecuting attorney and hangman upon all
criminals. The man who would very
readily help a mob to iuflict puuishment
if he thought no harm could como to
himself for participating in the wrong,
woulJ.be equally ready to stay borne, if
there was a probability of his being j
punished for what he cid.
Mob law can be stopped. Let it be
done.

0?^??tefe? of Whiskey's Work.
Sunday, the 20th instant, two young
men, Walker and Gibson, living near
Greer's Station, in Spartanburg Couu
ty came to Greenville presumaMy^io get
drunk. At any rate they^aid so, and
after laying in a su^pty^for their home?
ward journey, worked up a- difficulty
I wit^ a colored man named Brockman,
when one of them named Walker wan?
tonly stabbed him. Brockman lingered
j for Bve days and died, tho victim of the
man who stabbed him, the whiskey
which took away his reason, and the
whiskey seller who violated the law
and broke his bond by selling it on
Sunday.
The Greenville .New speaking of the
tragedy says :
Ben Brockman is dead, poor fellow,
aDd two respectable and intelligent men
lie in jail with a trial for their lives and
a probable term in the penitentiary to
look forward to.
What this community is interested in
in advance of the trial is the fact that
somebody here violated the State and
city laws last Sunday by selling liquor.
If that liquor had not been sold iu defi?
ance of laws, bonds and public senti?
ment, Ben Brockman would be alive
and will this morning and Gibson and
Walker would be free men, without the
stain of blood cn their hands and with
their families attending to their affairs.
Who sold that liquor? We don't
know. It is net our business to know.
The people pay taxes and give men sal?
aries to know such things and have the
law vindicated. Every officer of the
law, county and municipal, has sworn
to uphold the law and accepts pay to do
that and nothing else.

"connection," in section second, should have
been "conversation," as written, and "a"
was left out in another place, which some
wbat destroyed the sense. Now I know that
the best of people make mistakes, how?
soever careful they may be, but as printers
are considered experts io reading bad writing
they might give the benefit of a doubt to a
word the\' can't make out, and supply the
proper one to make sense as called forth by
the rest cf the sentence.

Baso Ball Championship.
HAGOOD, S. C., Sept. 25, 1885.
Mr. Editor: lam glad to see that "G.
B."^ writing from Packsville under date of
Sept. 21st, takes the Bisbopville Base Ball
Club to task for claiming the championship of
Sumter, Kershaw, Clarendon and Orange
burg Counties. I can see no valid reason why
their club should claim the championship
over the three last named Counties without
karjng played either a single game. Bisbop?
ville must learn to fight her own battles be?
fore she crows over the victories of another
club.
The Game Cocks started early in the season
by defeating the Providence Club, when the
two combined.
Wc also played one game with the Kershaws
of Camden and were also victorious in that,
but the Game Cocks do not claim the champ?
ionship of Kershaw County, because they beat
or.o of her clubs a single game. It takes a
series of games to decide the championship
unless it is expressly understood that one
game shall decide it. We were anxious to
meet the Kershaws Again but owing to una?
voidable circumstances could not do so. We
also challenged the Fort Motte Ciub of Or
angeburg County, but for reasons best known
to themselves they declined to play us. Wc
did not think that they were afraid to meet
the Game Cocks,and cannot claim the champ?
ionship of Orangeburg County because one of
her clubs declined to play. Now for Claren?
don County. Early in the season wc received
a ch'i?l?nge from the club:it Manning, naming
a certain nay to meet us in Sumter. The
time that they appointed conflicted with an
? other mai ch game that we had previously ar
j ranged and of course we had to decline it.
I We made two appointments to meet them af
! terwards. but they declined to meet us. I
; suppose Bishopville takes this as a sweeping
. (?) victory for the G*me Cocks. No, we do
j not claim the championship of any County or
? club until we have met them in thc field, and
\ defeated them hy actual playing. On the
! 25th of August thc Carolina Club of Packs
\,rille challenged ns fur a match game to f-e
? >!ayed in Sumter. Uar club then had, for
various "reasons, disbanded for the season,
: andVof course we had to decline to.play them,
j This ''back down" on cur part gives Cl areli
? <on ::s much right to claim the championship
j ovfcr Scnjter as Bishopville has to claim it
: overdo ihrer named Cou rf ties. It is true
j that Lyonville did play two games with the
j Game CocXg and were, victorious in both,
j We acknowledge our defeat, und yield to
j them the County Championship, but can sec
no grounds whatever why Bishopvilie should
claim the championship over so wide a ter?
ritory. GAME COCK.

Hobbies of the Hygienists.
There were several dozen of the hygienists
in council, each with his individual hobby.
Each thought all the others were wrong.
Each was sure that his own hobby was the
only^correct one. A gentleman present said
he had taken Brown's Iron Bitters for debility
and dyspepsia, and, though he didn't want to
make a fuss about it, he knew the"use of this
great tonic tobe better than all thenotionshe
had heard advanced in the council. One
practical cure is worth thousands of guesses
and notions. Thousands of happy convales?
