Court House at I 3'' o'clock Thursday to consider tbe murders com? mitted at Laie City on Monday night and to ufce action to place on record tbe sentiment of the community in re?pect to tbe barbarous outrage. Tbe meeting was an impromptu gathering, suggested by Mr. Rich if d I. Manning, wbo happened to be in town. His suggestion met with such hearty approval that although not more tb?o a balf boor's notice was given that tho meeting would be beld, the gathering was Urge and representative. Tbere were cresent not only many business men, mem? bers el* the bur and other citizens of the city, but numbers of representative men from va? rious parts of the county who were io tbe city. Tbe meeting was called to ordeaby Mr R. I* Manoiog who nominated HOD T B. Fra? ser as chairman. Mr. L. R. Jennings, of -Boaaard, was elected Secretary Judge Fra? ser stated the ot ject of tbe meeting and cali ed for remarke from tbose present. Mr. Manning was tbe first ?peaker. Re ppoke briefly io condemnation of the horri? ble crime, committed, at Lake City tbat has disgraced not only that section but bas brought reproach upon tbe entire State of South Carolina and all ber citizens He said that it was the duty of all right-thinking and law-abiding men to place npon this crime tha seal of their condemnation and severe ..ensure. He offered tbe following resolu? ci?n?, as tb? sentiment? of the people of Sum? ter County : Whereas, we, citizens of tb? county of Sumter, in mass meeting assembled, have learned of the murders recently committed at Lake City, io tbe county of Williamsburg, and while we disapprove of the appointment of negroes to such positions .ce ?re calculated to promote antagonism between the racej, yet we are shocked beyond expression at the in? tolerance and cowardice pf the.crime, and wjsb-fc? proclaim in oo uncertain words oor ut^er and ucequivpcal condemnation of this and similar crimes, and declare oar belief tbat the rtght-thiukiog and self-respecting citizens of Sumter Couoty and of South Car? olina agree whh as in these views, therefore be it 1. Resolved that we hereby place on re? cord persevere censure of the crime and of the spirit of iotnlemnce pf those participating in it, 2. That we call on the citizens of the several counties of this State to meet at their respective court bouses and declare their con? demnation and censure of the net That we commend tbe cbief Executive pf this state for the prempt measures be baa taken to apprehend tte guilty parties and that ve respecfolly but mont strongly urge that tio means-t e neglected to brinn them to justice Mr R. D Lee made a forcible spaecb in seconding the resolutions and emphasized the great necessity that exists for tbe intelligent, INT.-abiding and patrietic citizens cf this St*te and pf the entire country te use their utmost ir.fl'lenee and earnest endeavors te pot down tjhe spirit pf lawlessness that appears to be on the i'.crease in tb* land. Io ccm meutine cn the unexampled hprror pf the L?ke City massacre, he spoke of how the spirit of violence bad ?prend .until the law le&ts e[emeut now lynch men for all crimes and for nu crime at all,'as io the Lake City case, when? prejudice alone was the uotive actuat? ing ihose who kiMei in cold blood a mao, and bis baby aod shot his wife and children Hon Altamont Moses also spoke in sup? port of tbe resolutions and in condemnation pf tbe Lake City murders and pf the lawless? ness and Violence that prevails. Ge 3 E W Moise seconded the resolutions io a eibcrt cpeech in which he reviewed the growth of crime and I?wlessee,^ io ibis State and in ?he entire coontrv, commrnting on the conditions tbnt ci ve so great concern and re? gret io all men wbo have tb" {?cod of their country at heart, io a broad and liberal spirit. The r?solu ti.-.us were then adopted by a rising: vote, every man present voting io fa? vor of them. If your eyes give you trouble, er ypn need spectacles, it will be well to consult Dr. Bur? bank, the specialist/who will be at the Nixen House a short time longer. Dr. Burbank is located at Spartanborg. aod intends mak? ing regular visits through the State, which mtkej bis guarantee pf bis work pf more vnlue than would be otherwise. Tho-e who have commited here bare been pleased with his work. Letter From a Colored Minister of the Gospel. Mr Editor: Piease allow space in the Daily Item to say a few words io commend? ation pf tbe broad-bearted and patriotic citi? zens cf tbe City pf Sumter, the County and elsewhere, who met io the Court House in a mass meeting to-day in condemnation of tbe atrocious and brutal murder of a poor, de? fenseless, unarmed negro, aod an infant, in the pence!ul slumbers pf uigbt, for np crime at all Too much can no; be said io honor of such men who met to expresa openly the r disap? proval pf mpb violence and lawlessness in South Carolin* ?nd especially thnt or Like Citv These men expressed the sentiments of the true Southern gentlem-tn of culture, patriotism, and manhood, who would wot st&io bis basds with the blood of a man, sim? ply because nature bas made bim black. Being a native of the county of Willina.s burg 1 deplore tbe crime tbs more, mid c*n not believe it wa3 done by any of the better class of citizens t?f Lake City or the county, as there are some as noble-hearted men as can he found any where in tbe Stale, in that couoty. I also commend in the highest your very strong editorial of the 281 inst , against the awful deed, aiso tbnt ot the State, News aol Courier and other pap&r*, and condemn the eriitJ rial of the Colombia Register, which I think 'ends to increase lawlessness by its tone and spirit mor9 than to allay the same. May the day soon dawn when the fair name pf South Carolina shall be at the bead of other States for pence and ord?r ; love for God and our country, when the shedding of blood aud disregarding pf law will tie a toing of tbe pa.st, and our prison bouses v?iil be turned into cburcnes, schools and acade? mies M.
