Negro Murderer Saved from n Mob by the Strategy of Sheriff Graham. SherilT Graham of Williamsburg county by courage and strategy saved the life of a negro who had murdered a white man at Lake City in that"( couuty. The negro, Cato Williams, had bought a mule from Mr. McGee, a livery stable man, and a quarrel ensued. Mr. McGee knocked the negro down and walked toward the door of the stable, as he turned round again tho negro fired twice at him, ono ball entered the abdomen and one just below the left nipple, either would have proved fatal. The negro ran and was hotly pursued by the police and a posse of mounted men and was soon captured and locked up in tho town lockup. The sheriff was notified and urged to come at once as there was great danger of the negro being taken out and lynched. The sheriff took the negro to jail A large crowd gathered around the jail demanding the prisoner, the jail was entered and search made. . In the meantime the sheriff had spirited, the negro away and spent the night with his prisoner in the swamps, afterwards conveying him to Columbia for safe keeping. We give the above brief statement merely to set before sheriffs of other counties of tho Stute tho examplo of a sheriff who lias upheld and maintained the honor of his county and State by promptly doing his duty. We are sure that there are other sheriffs who would under similar circumstances have done or attemntpri to do the same thing. We most heartily commend Sheriff Graham for his fearless and unflinching adherence to duty. We are strongly opposed to mob law, and unhesitatingly denounce lynching, but for one crime only, lot that crime be committed by whom it may. We publish in today's issue of The Times the best article on lynohlng we have ever read. THE UNION CREAMERY CO. Meeting of Stockholders Held Last Saturday?The Company Now Fully Organized.

"There is no sentiment in business" is one of the false proverbs which is constantly heard everywhere. On the contraiy, much o? the world's business is bastd 011 sentiment. Everywhere men will go out of their way to help on businees interests from sentiment or friendship alone. Kinship is not more real in its effect, ivj . 1 ubiness Interests than sentiment.. Sometimes in the hurry of life, in the-struggle for success, dormant sentiment is not waked into activity, but when some great event stirs a community or a country, sentiment becomes un liresisuoie power, 'l'ne world stands amazed at the appaling disaster which has come upon Baltimore, and from every section, as well as from Europe, have come offers of financial assistance. But Baltimore, with a full realization of the staggering blow, knowing well that with $150,000,000 of property burned, with thousands of people out of employ* ment, and the vast maohinery of trade built tip during a hundred years temoo rarily destroyed, appreciating the magnitude of the problem which it faces, believes that it can meet the situation without calling for outside contributions from the millions whose Charity would prompt them to pour a vast stream of ! gifts into our city. With every power, mental and physical, quickened with a j ???in.. . ?u?u ?^?? grim determination to conduer every obstacle. Baltimore does not ask for alms, but it dves at-k tliat the rentimen'. wliicli has such a strong power in riding busiuess interests shall make itself felt in not permitting lier trade to be taken away because of the temporary inability to promptly meet all requirements. The raerchauts and manufacturers who, through many years of honorable dealings have built up a far-reaching trade, North and West as well as South, have a right in this time of calamity, to ask their customers to be a little patient and if the necessities cf their trade require the quick filling or orders elsewhere, to be ready to eorne back to their Baltimore friends with enlarged orders just as soon as our jreople are prepared to handle them. With the immense in crease in the wealth of the South hy reason of high price of cotton and the consequent enormous expansion of trade throughout that section, the merchants of the Soutli c- uUl not only arrange to make prompt payment to Baltimore merchants of every outstanding bill, even if not technically due, and every do" A' sent to Baltimore now in payment accounts is worth a hundred dollars given iii chaiitj ; but that section, could by a generous realiziCion of the powor of sentiment in business, tend into this city a volume of business which would go a long way towards helping our people recoup their lossess. Every salesman from Baltimore has a light to ask his customers, and to ask those in his territory vho have not heietofore been his customers, for the most favorable consideration and the largest orders. When amid tho wieck and ruin of the war the South took up its overwhelming burdens, it had a right to ask for every legitimate aid and consideration that the busiucss men cf America xou'd give its merchants, and Baltimore, iden uueu uy geograpntcai iruis, as wen as tiv closer kin, did ils full sliarc to the utmost of iis ability in helping the South to weather the storui. Ever since then its money has freely gone into the Suulh. for investment in railroads, in industrial enterprises, iu municipal securities, in trade and in building operations. The ties between Baltimore and the South have yearly grown stronger, aud because the Manfactureis Record is not a local paper, but a Southern paper?a paper that lias for nearly a quarter of a century sought to speak for the whole South and not for Baltimore alone, it cau say to the South, a3 no purely Baltimore [<mper could, that now is the South's supreme opportunity to show that with its I?eople at least sentiment does control business, and based on that pour into this city such a trade as will tax the ability of our merchants to handle. Baltimore asks no charity, but for the people of Baltimore, that their losses may the more quickly he recouped and the thousands of men thrown out of employment may the sooner be saved from dire want, the Manufacturers' Record, the exponent of the whole South, does make this plea to the South, as well as to all other stptiops.
