REV NEEsIMA, the japanese Mis-
,ionary who is visiting Mr.. Il. J. Davis.
gave a short address to the children oil
the Chapel School last Sunday after
noon. He spoke of the dark heathen-
ism that oversPread Japan thirty years
ago; that he had been brought up to
worship the idols that formed part Ot
the furniture of every house in that
country. In his fathers house, on II
shelf in the sitting room, were the gods
Of war,and Il horrible figure represent
ing the god of smallpox which disease
is prevalent and much dreaded in
Japan. This horrible god was placed
on the patients pillow in the hope that
he would scare the disease away. In
the kitchen was placed the god Of fire.
This was the influence under which
the Rev. gentleman was brought up,
but lie thanked God they now had
churches, ministers and Sunday
Schools. Rev. Neesima is graduate
of Amherst College, Mass. aud is an in
teresting and instructive speaker. He
will lecture in the Avenue Church to-
night on Japan and her People"

down like a dog. Said our informant !:
While was not in Edgefield Mt the
time Of the killing Of Culbrcath, 1 know
the feeling which existed towards him,
and the reasons which lead to his being
dealt with by the mob, viz: the firmest
conviction Of his guilt, the inability to
prove it, and the knowledge that his ar
raignmcnt and trial would be a mere
farce, resulting in his acquital. 1t is not
certain that Culbrcath did the killing;
no was perhaps too sma,t for that, and !
learn he wrote a letter to DR.. Prescott
assuring him that he could prove an ali
bi. twas firmly believed, however,
by the men who killed him that he was
responsible for the murder, if not the
actual slayer, and that if a negro o,
other person did the shooting it was
merely as q tool in Culbreath's hands.
The report that there were improper
relations existing between Mrs. Gull
breath and young Hammond is utterly
without foundation, and receives no Gre
dence from the people who knew her.
She is one Of the most estimable ladies
in South Carolina and is above suspicion.

these facts in justification of the action
of the mob that killed Culbreeth. Ide-

anybody, and heartily disapproye Of

Law in South Carolina.

W. publish elsewhere under the
above caption an editorial from the Alb
beville Press and Banner the object
Of which is to show that the law against
murder is not enforced in this State,
and that human life is held too cheap.
But the statistics Of our esteemed
contemporary arc always too vague and
uncertain to prove anything.
Beyond the facts that thirty.three
homicides have occurred in EKbsyiIfe
County within the last eight y&sTx lid
that two murderers have bceA hsnged
within the same time, nothing Is stated
except tho .'opinions". and "belief."
Evidence of this kind is not admissible
in determining SO serious a question MS
the one under consideration.
AS the Press a1d Banner. with the
exception Of two facts, has given us
nothing but "surm:s S" and ''guesses''
it may be allowable for as to indulge j in
a little speculation upon this matter,
and see what effect it has upon this
fearful fact Of thirty-thrcc homicides in
eight years.
Homicide is a word Of very broad
Specification, including killings which
are jutsifiablc and cxcusable as we'll
as those which are felonious. It is
therefore fair to presume that at least
one half of these thirty-three homicidcs
were excusabie OF j%ustifiablc. This
would reduce the number that could be
classed as fclonious to sixteen and q
half, and q half. and make it seventeen.
Now man-slayres do not usually give
themselves up to Justice, nor do they
stand still and wait for the officers oil
the law to come after them. It is high.
ly probable then, that at least fve oil
the seventeen escaped arrest. This re.
duces u number to twelve. But q
criminal often escapes justice by fail.

necessary according to law to prove his
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt" Then
we may allow four to escape through d
loopholc. We now have eight who are
guilty Of felonious homicide, which il

of these eight have been hanged fol

At the New Orleans exposition the Da-
kota work is progressing finely, and by
the time the crowds reach the maximum
in numbers the exhibit from this section
Of the great northwest will reach the eli
max of perfection. Nebraska, which now
leads in display. will gradually retrograde
as the reserve products from Dakota are
thrown into the arena, and the plan pro-
lnulgated by the Dakota commissioners to
increase in interest their display as each
day advances will gradually attract the
attention that is necessary to secure fav-
orable recognition Of our merits. The
states burning all their powder at the first
engagement have made mistake.
