LET THERE BIZ NO LYScHISa l-Columbia,
March 2S.-Governor Richardson to-day
notified Sheriff Crawford, Of York County,
tha orders had been issued for the placing
ofthe Jenkins Rifles, Of Yorkville, at his
command to protect the four York County
prisoners threatened with lynching and DOW
held in the Richland Jail for safekeeping,
and that the Rifles would report to him for
duty at his wish.
In order that the safety Of the prisoners
might be ensured, Governor Richardson
suggested that the sheriff detail at least ten
men Of the Rifles to como with him to CO.
lumbia next week, when the York County
CourtHil meet, and return with the priss-
ners and himseifto Yorkville. Capt Lind
say ofthe Rifles has written that he can
have thirty men available for the main,c-
nance Of order in case Of an emergency.
Governor Richardson's action in the
matter was taken on information received
from one of the highest judicial officers OF
the circuit to the effect that a lynching
would probably follow the return Of these
prisoners to Yorkville without military
guard, en- the request of Sheriff Crawford
for such assistance, and the Representations
Of other citizens Of York County.
Three of the prisoners are to be tried fol
the murder Of MIR. Alternately near Catawbs
Junction last month, and the fourth TO,
rape. The Governor is determined that the
law shall take its course. An Act is on tn,
statute books requiring that militiamer
when called upon to perform such duty a.
this shall receive dollar and half day
but no appropriation has been made to carry
1t out. The Rifles will have a COOL clai.
against the State, however, for this service

Padgett's Creek Sunday School.

Mr.. EDITOR. your permission we
will give you few dots from Padgetts
Creek Sunday School aud community.
We had quite an interesting aud instructive
occasion at our review on Sunday last
Tho Superintendent, Mr.. D. N. Wilburn,
was at his post proVgH with his usual
pleasant smiles, ready, y possible, to make
every scholar happy with warm grasp of
the hand that would cheer their hearts and
make. any aud all feel thsmselyes ai home
The ScnUvr opsueu NJ 10 o'c!sck, A. M,
and the teachers began to review their
classes, one by one, for the benefit of the
audience, beginning at the least and clos
ing with the advanced. One pleasing fea-
ture Of this examination was, there was
scarcely word missed in the whole school
This goes to prove that there must be some
progress. Indeed the reports Of the differ.
ent teachers showed that some Of the schol-
ars had attained to the highest mark, that
being 20, while number made 1S.
After the prizes had all been distributed
and one Of those beautiful Sunday School
songs had bsen sung, Mr.. W. G.. Wilburn
addressed the School on GLOW to make the
Sunday School success" which was very
forcible, which was followed by an essay
by Mrs. Alice b. Smith, and read by the
Superintendent, on "The power of Song"
which was quite an able one, and would be
no disoreait to the columns Of any religious
journal.
The query, "How does the Sunday School
help the PASTOR" was then introduced with
a few extemporaueous remarks by Mr.. II.
b. Murphy, followed by MFR. Preston d.
Bobo, with one Of those sensible, pithy
talks.
From what we heard young man soy to
his roommate as he started, (not toward
home 'don't bar the door"-"we won't"
led us to eonaluae there was something in
his head right; and IL thiog' don't change,
we think some preacher will have some
thing to do besides preach about Christmas.
Mr.. Editor, the farmers in this section
are preparing for planting. and we think
there will be more corn planted in Cross
Keys this year than last; we hope so at
least. Whe,t i, beginning to promise o
good crop, and Oa,s too. We hope TO SEQ |
the day when Western corn will find q
home somewhere besides in South Carolina. !
