"HsoIs!cTinS UP tglc L:,svAcSs."
The above is tho caption Of an eili-
torial that appeared in tho Columbia
Union Of the 2lsA inst, Intended as n
reply to the article in this paper OF
the l9th inst.
1t is silent concerning the main
points made in our reply to the letter
of its Winn,boro correspondent but
dwclls considerably upon tho minor
points, which were merely corrections
Of certain statements made in the let.
ter in question.
The affair, calling forth the letter
was styled IL "iu klux Outrage. -"
10 constitute such in our opinion, it
was necessary to show and prorc that
the unlawful act was committed by
disguised men, organized and bandc d
together. We Iesortcd to no subtcr.
fu9c, but simply gave our readers the
facts of tho affair, at the SAFE time
exposing the glaring falsity of certain
statements and charges made in the
letter of "N.'
W hen the Union sets out to char.:e
US with "bolstcring up the lawless, ,"
We hu'l back lis slandcrous and COW.
ardly lmpntAtion, and challenge it to
point to single instance when we
have defended crime and lawlcssncss.
because we have the maulincss to
speak out in defence of the character
OF the white people of this County,
We are charged with "bolstcring up
the lawless."
We spit upon this miserable at.
tempt to miSrcprescnt our feelings
and course of action, and VIC here say
to tho Union and its editor that we
recognize in it only the rcady.tool of
Hcorrupt government. Wo can easily
understand its purpose in trying to
convey false impressions as to the con.
dition of affairs in this County, aud
the state of public feeling generally.
We however are determined that
tho people of Fairfield shall no. bc
misreprcsentcd, and once moro an.
nounca our intention to expose and
dcnounce all attempts that cur ene-
mics may make to injure US.
We have ever condemned crime IN
all its phases, but VIC will not con.
demn whole community for ono act
OF lawlcssness committed therein
We will not attach blame to any
class Of individuals on account of a
criminal act committed by ono OF
more individuals Of that class, u5!css
VIC know that all are guilty. THIS is
our manner of passing Judgment, and
W. believe the one that il adhered TO
by the entiro Conservative press Of
the state. We hold ourselves far
above partisan prejudice and viii die.
