Another Lynching in Barnweli.

BARNwE1L, Jan. 11.--About year ago
William Black, a young negro Of about 20
years of age, broke into the house OF anoth-
er negro living on the place Of Dr.. \. ".
Bailey, near Ellenton. He was apprehend-
ed, brought to trial, and on arraignment
pleaded guilty. He served his sentence, ar
rived in Barnwell last Tuesday, and was
making his way to his mothers house along
the Barnwell Court House and Steele Creek
Road, when, arriving at Mr.. James Ben
nett's house and observing no one around,
he stole two coats and other articles, which
were quickly missed by the owner. A war-
rant WAS issued by Trial Justice L. S. Dun
bar and pla ced in the hands Of good and
trusty negro for execution. He went N
search of his man, and met him in the Gus
tody of Dave Ready and another white man,
who had already arrested him. Ready had
his prisoner tied, and when the negro con-
stable met them he turned about with them
to 60 to the justice.
The four, the two white men, the negro
constable and the negro prisoner, had not
proceeded far together when Ready, who
was under the influence Of whiskey, said
that he intended having lynching of his
own, and thereupon took the negro pris-
oner on the side of the road and bound him
to tree and shot him to death. Why the
other white man and negro did not try to
prevent it could not learn. Ready imme-
diately left and the last that was heard Of
him he was in Augusta.

THE WHISKEY QUESTION.

In another column will be found
an article on the consumption of Ii
quor, which we publish by request.
The writer takes the ground that the
love OF money, the root Of all evil, is the
cause of liquor selling, and We think
he is near the truth. We know OF no
other reason for inducing anyone to
engage in the trefic. The writer OF
shat article says if the revenue tax be
removed, the cost will be only noml-
nal, and drunkenness will decrease.
We agree with this, too. For the
first few years all the old confirmed
sots would drink and drink and drink
again, till they had killed themselves,
and their course would be so very
disgusting to the balance OF humanity
that the use of whiskey would be very
small. The remedy would be pretty
tough on the old topers, but they are
of little good any way, and the world
can afford to lose them. The rising
generation would be comparativ ely
sober set. The argument is q good
one. But, alas, the sentiment OF the
people of this grand government is
not with the writer of that article:
and he will probably never see his
plans adopted.
The last Legislature passed an Act,
requiring all infantry companies to
drill at least twelve times year, and
one hour each time, or the company
will be disbanded. Cavalry compa-
MES must drill at least four times a
year. Not loss than sixteen men
must be present. We will publish
the law entire very soon.

United States, and in every State such
as is outlined above, and the bottom
will drop out OF the beer tub and the
whiskcy barrel.
Even the moonshiner would not
drive far to risk q felon's cell, with
apple brandy at twenty-five cents, and
corn and rye whishies at fifty cents
per gallon, which is more than cost,
and no sales being permitted even at
those prices.
The occupation Of the whiskey ring
would be gone like that Of Othello;
and the millions of the capitalist in
vested in the business would, so far as
they survived the crash which might
speedily follow If the country does
not taper off gradually, be quickly
driven into more useful channels.
Think about this. If there is a
fallacy in it, point it out. II none,

GOV. RICHARDSON CRITICISED.

We publish below TWO artlcleS' one
from the Charleston World and the
other from the Sumter Watchmaa, in
which Governor Richardson is criti-
cised for his action in reference to the
BaT1Te1 iynchsFS: As far as the
amount of the rewards is concerned
that is totally Indifferent matter.
Those lynchers, every one of them,
are as safe from punishment for their
crime, as is the Governor himself.
As we have stated before, it is known
in the town of Barnwell who every
one of the lynchers are, and their ac'
ton is either approved or connived
at by the people OF the town and
county of BarnweI- They believed
that the existing state Of affairs de-
manded heroic treatment, and it was
by the consent and advice of the
abest" people Of Barnwell that the
deed was done. This is our honest
opinion, and. We believe it is the
opinion of a large majory Of the peo-
pie of the State, the Governor includ-
ed. Such being the case what can
the law do? Suppose detectives
were employed, and that the State
could and did make out a clear case
against a dozen or more citizens Of
that county, would conviction follow?
Would not the juries bring in YER
dict of not guilty, or make mistrial? :?
We think our contemporaries are
mistaken in thinking the Governor
has offered small reward. It is just
as easy to convict twenty as one, and
twenty convictions would be $4,000,
a very fair sum. The reward IN this
case, as the World and Watclmaa
must admit, and as probably the
Governor believes, is merely formal.
No one viii ever get it.
But, now, when the Watchman says
the Governor ought to investigate the
conduct of the sheriff of Barnweli, we
are with him. Judge Kershaw had
ordered that sheriff to guard tie jail,
and if the niggardly county commits
sioners refused to furnish the funds
to pay the guards, then he should
have at once taken proper steps to re-
move the prisoners to another county.
We believe the sheriff to a large ex-
tent responsible for this lynching,
and that Governor Richardson should,
if it is in his jurisdiction, see that
this sheriff be punished for his wan
ton neglect Of duty.
The law is all right. The Govern
or is not at all to blame in this mat
ter. It is the sentiment of Barnwel
county. They uphold the deed, and
they are a sovereign people.
Below Will be found what the World
and the Watchman have to say on this
subject:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1890-01-15

Of $500 for the man who conducted
