WBPNKSPAY, JAN. 10,18 Imitating Irby. The Charleston Son seems to fair newspaper-about the only re able administration paper that corr this office, arid hence we dislike t the San laboring in error. Tba recent whipping of Davis in etty by negroes was a brutal outrage, so considered by law-abiding crt in this city, irrespective of polities, we fail to see, aa the Soe charges, that outrages will help the dispel canse* As ? matter of fact, the white who witnessed the whipping were inanities of the most noient type. There were moi mere than five et Conservatives within a bloek of whipping? while it was witnessed fc lernst thirty Tillmanites It it true that the Conservatives 1 been- charged with this outrage as they have baeo charged with ev thing that was wrong for the past t! years. Bat a most thorough set has failed to discover one an ti-Till a ite who either aided, instigated abetted this outrage, or was tn a p tios to do anything to prevent it. Cn the other hand there are Tilla i tes who could at least have made effort to prevent the breach of peace, out stood by calmly wi thoa word. There are some newspapers in t State jost now having a great deal say about the enormity of seeing negro whip a whit? mae. We adi H is badj il was ML in }88?q that memorable year; one ?ntl Palmer, a poor, hard-working pain went from North Carolina to Laure; S. C. There was not a breath agaii his character, except that one night a pool room, he had words with o John Laurens Manning Irby and pi posed-to fight him. 4'I would not lower myself to fig you," said Col. Irby, "but will ma my negro whip you to-morrow." On the morrow the doughty color rode into town with his negro beni him. They went to where Palmer a hardoi work painting a house. T two alighted, and without a word warning. Palmer being armed on with his paint brash, he wan beat a mercifully by the negro with a bioko sunk, by Col. Irby's directions, whi he stood? by with a drawn pistol, threi ening fetat?iooes to shoot fi man who attempted to interfere. There ie no hearsay about this, it a matter of record. The writer of th article thought it was a great outrag and being employed as Palmer's otto ney, argued to that effect. Eight years later we find the ma who forced a negro to whip a whi man, at thc point of a pistol, in tl United States Senate, while hie stronj cst champions and backers are talkie about the enormity of the crime ( negroes whipping white men. The outrage in this city was nc greater chao that in Laurens, ao while we condemn both, it is not bc coming* tn the worshippers of J. L. ld Irby to talk about negroes whippin, white men.-Spar tao bar g Herald. Ex-President Harrison is bein] boomed for the Republican presideotta nomination.
