Obituary.

Josepeh R. Barbor died last Tuesday
at the residence of his sister Mrs. John
Curry 1857 Cottage Grove ave. Mr..
Barbor had but recently returned to our
city from Los Angeles to where both
parental and medical care could be
given him. DR.. D. H. Williams was
called and by careful examination
pronounced his condition beyond hope.
Ills death though not unexpected was
sudden. BY consent of family and a
few friends, post norton examination
was held Wednesday morning by Drs.
Dan H. Williams and J. N. Cooker, who
seon discovered that his immediate
death was caused by heart clot between
left oricle and yentricle. It is a great
comfort to know he had given his heart
to the Savior and so promptly attended
to the ordinance of Gods house.. while
he has missed life's opportunities. he
has escaped life's sorrow and suferings
and has laid down ife's responsinci-
bilities and gone to heaven where suffer-
ings, sickness aud sorrow can never
come. The funeral services took place
at his sisters residence, conducted by
Rev. Jordan Chavis. His remarks Were
appropriate and a more impressive
scene could scarcely be conceived than
was Witnessed. 49,"

Looked Like a Laundry Check

Looked Like a Laundry Check.
It is we'll known fact that a majority
of professional men write very badly, so
badly, in fact, that sometimes the
writer's themselves cannot decipher
their hieroglyphics when they get cold.
DR.. Daniel II. Williams doesn't write
such q bad hand, but either bad writing
or the peculiar appearance of all physi-
clans prescriptions is responsible for the
following story which the Doctor tells.
Last week small boy called at his
office to get a prescription for his mother.
The prescription was written as usual in
Latin with apothecaries signs affixed.
The little fellow as soon IS he left the
Office Gale to his "chum" who was wait
ing outside and they tried to read what
was written; of course they made an
ignomious failure, and, as usual with
human nature, they proceeded to shift
the blame for their failure off their
shoulders. Said the little fellow: "Gee
whizz! dis is de tuf1es written I've seen
lately. Nobody can't understand dis.
Dis is to git medicine wild; but I'll bet,
eff tuck it to a Chinaman, he'd break
his neck gitten to bundle of washin."

ENTERED At PosToFRJCE As SECOND CLASS NATTER
SATURDAY, APRIL, 20, 1889.
MIRABl-E DICTU.

Some time ago William G. Williams
and Harrison Hayward, the two Colored
men who were convicted of murder in
Pickens County, S. c., Court and senten-
ced to be hanged for the lynching of a
white man named Waldrop, who had
committed rape upon 11.year-old Col
ored girl, from the effects of which she
died. The men claimed that they were
only following the example set by white
men in like cases where the colors OF
assailant and victim were reversed
The case has created considerable ex.
element during the trial, and the Gov.
ernor received fifty-two petitioans from
various prrts of the State, signed by
nearly 5000 persons, asking executive
clemency. The Majority of the signers
were whites.
On last Monday the governor granted
full and free pardon to the accused.
In the exercise of executive clemency,
in this case. Gov. Richardson says that
he was Influenced by his desire to do
justice to the Colored people. This was
the first time any one had been con.
victed in South Carolina for lynching
and it was also the first time that Colored
men had lynched any one, and he would
not have them made an example OF
when white men had not been punished
for like ofenses. If these two men had
been whites, he says, he would have
given them long term in the peniten-
tiary, or if it had been the second time
that a conviction had been had he would
have more severely punished them; but
under the circumstances, where the Col
ored people were ignorant and had the
example repeatedly set them by the
whites, he could not in justice let the
sentence of the Court be executed.
We have always that there ought in
all reason to be spirit of fairness and
justice burning in the bosoms of the
dominant race in America which would
prevent them from outraging every rule
of right where Colored people were con-
cerned, and we take it as a hopeful
sign for the future that this upright
judge had the moral courage to not allow
his decision to be warped by color preju.

Ever since the success of the Demo.
Gratis in 1884 up to Nov. 6, 1883, the Re.
publicans have been only too fearful
that some other party would catch the
Colored vote. Some Colored men had
the courage to declare they were Demo.
Gratis during that period, but they did sc
at the risk of their lives, and all were
more or less denounced and ostracised
by their former friends and associates
both Colored and white. The fealty OF
the Colored men to the Republican party
has been unparalleled in the history Of
political parties, and now for the Repub-
lican party to desire to throw the Col
ored man overheard is the basest sort
of ingratitude.
