The Aiken papers ^ agreed among themselves to divide j this ra?e^ .both to .publish .alt-the official advertMogv?nd thus to'give th's County .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.

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. Clarendon Mews.

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.
