4 Narrow Escape From Lynching
Rock Hill Herald.

There was a great deal of excite
ment in Ebernezer Township on
Wednesday of last week, and but for
some cool heads that community
would have scored a lynching. The
occasion for this disturbance was the
fact that the Sunday night before a
felonious attempt had been made on
the person Of a young lady while she
was asleep in her room. On the
night in question some one enteredthe
room by raising a window, and ap-
preaching her beside caught
hold of her hand. At this sheawoke
and looking up discovered a colored
man at her side. She gave the
alarm and the negro jumped out Of
the window and escaped in the dark
ness. The house had been recently
painted and the occupants concluded
to keep quiet and saynothing, hoping
the paint would furnish a clue. They
had not long to wait, for a few days
afterwards Lawson Simril, colored,
who had been employed and par
italy raised on the place, appeared
in the yard, his pants furnishing the
evidence that they had recently been
rubbed On fresh paint. Neighbors
were notified of the facts and the
alarm spread like wildire. In a
short time a crowd gathered and had
but little trouble apprehending Sim
ril. They gathered and bound him
and had decided upon executing him
at once, but an influential gentleman
of the neighborhood appeared upon
the scene and begged the crowd to
allow the law to take it's course.
This they finally agreed to do and
the next morning he was taken to
jail to await trial. He acknowledged
to the gentleman alluded to that he
entered the young lady's room, but
claims he was hunting money.

IN The Beginning.
The Charleston World.

Editor of the World: I have read
your comments upon article l, ad-
dressed by the "Straightout Demo
Gratis" to the people of South Caro-
lima, with a good deal Of interest,
and see that you, like others, have
failed to note the ''beginning" of the
State of South Carolina as a govern
ment, independent of the British
crown. The disputes between the
people and the proprietary govern
ment, OF with the royal Governors
and their councils, was a small mat
ter in the colony compared to the es-
Enlistment of the Revolutionary
State Government in IT'S.
The charge has been made that
the State did not have a Democratic
Government; that she was ruled by
an aristocracy, or by an oigarchy, OF
influential families. 1t has even been
charged that the State was ruled by
a Ring" Certain it is that South
Carolina was governed as no other
State in the Union was, and that her
own people were divided IN feeling.
Our political history as a State is
one Of extraordinary interest.
When, how or where did the oil
garchy or Ring have its beginning?
William Monltrie, who is good au-
thority, tells US how the Revolution
commenced in Charles Town, now
Charleston; that a State Legislature
WAS called, each little church parish
was given a Senator, and he gives
their names, as also the names OF the
Representatives. The four coast
counties ruled the Senate, having
twenty parishes. These counties
constituted the larger part OF the or
ganized territory. This wasin l775.
Moultrie says the Legislature deter
mined to raise five regiments OF State
troops, and that the Legislature
elected all the officers, from colonel
down to first lieutenant inclusive,
and gave to each captain the eommls-
sion for second lieutenant, which the

sion only. No matter how dstln-
guished a General, Colonel or soldier
he might be, he could not enter the
close ranks of society. Outsiders do
not know how many officers from
these five regiments entered this So
ciety; possibly all who survived the
war. It was exclusive. Member
ship is hereditary, and g~enealogies
must be shown to prove ones right
to membership.
It is curious to follow these re-
corded names through the States
history for the past seventy-fve
years. See the parish Senators, how
prominent some families were. There
seemed to be the same feeling every
where in the lower section Of the
State, and it produced bad feeling in
the middle and upper counties. The
lower counties were almost always a
unit in politics, and ruled the State
through the Senate, always finding
friends to give them votes enough to
elect their candidates. This parish
system was the cause of all South
Cardinals woes.
Was the Government Democratic
when she refused to let her free born
Whae citizens elect their Governors,
or to vote for the Presidential cleo
tors?
Was it Democratic that a minority
of he~ voters at the polls should hold
and rule the State, when defeated by
a majority at the polls? The great
Union party voted notification down
by ger 5000 votes. Yet, under our
half-r0yal government, the defeated
minority, a paltry portion Of the
American people, but a little over
$4,000 strong, were willing to deluge
the State in blood if they could not
rule, and would hurl it as a reproach
to a freeman that he had been a
"Union man"
Was it Democratic in 1851, when
the secessionists wished to secede
the State from the Union alone, and
met with an overwhelming defeat at
the hands of the cooperation party,
they, the co-operationists, having a
majority of over 1900 votes, and yet
the secession element continued to
rule, and to elect for rulers those in
sympathy with themselves. The re-
cord quoted from shows that IN the
beginning" certain men got the
State Government into their hands.
They also controlled the Legislature,
and they Differed the army, and
when the war ended they, or many
of them, enjoyed the sweets Of office
for many reasons. Did these officers
whose names are recorded by Moul
trie join the Cincinnati society,"" and
by the close touch of the elbow, run
it into a close political ring?
How came about the long tenure
of power that many promi-
nent families had in the lower coun-
tiesz Certainly they were not more
brainy than others in many counties
of the State. The parish system was
the disturbing element in the State,
and Benjamin F. Perry immortal
lied his name when he purged the

Boys and Tobacco,

An Investigation into the matter
has shown that almost SO per cent.
of the boys in the Minneapolis
schools smoke tobacco, and that the
majority Of the smokers are to be
found among the boys belonging to
the poorer classes. As was to be ex-
pected, the boys that smoke are the
worst students. No boy a use to-
bacco and be anything else but dull
and stupid. The growing person
cannot use tobacco without paying
the penalty in arrested physical and
mental development. To many
adults tobacco in any form is a poi
son. To the person who has not at
tanned his growth, the effect of to.
bacco is always injurious, and all the
more dangerous because of its insid
ious effect.

Women are most sensible when
