On Friday night, December 27,
eight negro men were taken from
the jail at Barnwcll Court House by
n mob Of masked men who hung
them to trees hard by the corporate
limits of the town and shot them to
death. -Four were held on the
charge of murder, and four were
held only as witnesses, their crime
being, SO far as the record shows,
that their evidence was believed
necessary to the legal conviction Of
the men charged with murder. Thus
the blood of four innocent men, who
were held for no crime of their own
committing, was shed to crafty the
thirst OF the mob for vengeance, or,
as has been urged, to teach the ne
grocs of Barnwcll county that they
cannot XII, white men with impunity.
The statement Of the shcriff's adj
visory committee, giving the causes
which, in their opinion, lead to the
horrible massacre, reveals a dcpora-
bic condition Of affairs in Barnwcll
county, but utterly fails TO show the
slightest justification or excuse for
the lynching, either for the purpose
OF punishing the guilty, or striking
terror to the hearts of bloody-mind-
cd negroes. During the past two
months, it is true, four white men
had been killed by negroes in Barn
well county, but whether the kill
ings were murders or moi was the
question to be tried in the courts,
and if the four negroes were guilty
of the murders, they would surely
have suffered the death penalty at
the hands of the law.
The government is in the hands
OF the white man, our courts arc not
presided over by ignorant, vicious
and corrupt negro judges, all the
the machinery of the law for sccur-
ing the swift and speedy punishment
of crime by . fair and impartial trial,
is committed to the sacred keeping
of the superior race, and thai, too,
for the good of both, we have here
t ore loudly proclaimed. Why,
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1890-01-09

then, should the perogatives of the
courts of justice be usurped by n
passionate and irresponsible mob I?
why make the mob more powerful
than tho courtsf Granting that four
white men had been murdered by
four of the negroes, yet their crime
does not compare in atrocity with
the murder, by the mob, of eight
dcfencclcss men, four of whom were
charged with no crime. View it as
we may, there never has been moro
brutal, inhuman and dcvilish exercise
Of mob law in South Carolina.
AS the Columbia Registna' trucly
says: "To break into the States
stronghold and kill the States wit
ncsscs is an unparalleled cnormity,
going to the very root of the adj
ministration of justice itself. For
if this thing can be done, any other
mob or band of conspirators may
break into our jails and kill off in
convenient witnesses.
"Wc thus see that society itself is
warrcd against, not the colored pco-
pie alone, in the slaughter of these
prisoners, but everybody alike, who
has any interest, we will not say in
good government, but any govern
,mcnt at all"
What shall be done about it? No
efforts should be spared to bring
swift and speedy punishment to all
participants in the brutal butchcry.
From the published statements in
our exchanges it seems that Sheriff
Lancaster knew they would be
lynched and yet took no steps to
prevent the lynching. Moreover an
order was obtained from Judge Kcr-
shaw requiring guards TO be placed
around the Jail, but the County Com
miss'oncrs refused to pay for their
services. Hence it is plainly seen
that even these officers Of the law
are in great degree responsible for
this foul crime. BY the wilful fail
urc to discharge their sworn duty,
they have made themselves culpablc
in the eyes of the law, and should be
proceeded against without delay.
Whether the daring and reckless
iicnds who struck the death blow
under cover of night and with
masked visagc, are ever brought to
justice or not, let these, their aidcrs
and abcttors, be made to answer for
the lives Of the county's prisoners at
tho bar of offended public justice.

hcnsion and conviction Of the lynch

hitting the clandestine and illegal
traffic in Intoxicating liquors to do
its deadly work with impmity, then
they forfeit not only the right to
close the licensed saloon, but their
own self respect as well. An unen-
forced law is barrier against any
real reform. Let the good citizens,
who are so ready to grumblc or
whine over this evil, come to the
front and speak out as freemen
ought to speak. 1t requires vigi-
lance, courage and work to enforce
good laws just the same rs it does to
secure their enactment. A people
who arc too stolid or too cowardly
or too indolent to see that the laws
arc properly enforced, deserve the
abuses that they will surely have to
bear. Let every citizen of our coun-
ty resolve himself into a committee
of one to promote the enforcement
of the law prescribing the retail
traffic in ardent spirits as well as all
others, and let there be no discharge
in this warfare. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.

How We Le0k Abroad.

Mr.. Boggs, editor of the Pickcns
Sentinel, spent several days in town
recently, and on his return home
reports rs follows:
"IIon. VIM. j. Stribling, of Oco-
nee, who purchased Judge Norton's
place about three miles West of Wal
halla, seems determined to keep
abreast of the times in improve
mcnts. He has handsome
and commodious dwelling, beautiful
for situation, and one of the best ar
ranged and most convenient barns in
the up country. Near his residence
about one milc-hc has erected Il
cotton gin and feed and grist mills
all run by water, applied to turbine
wheel. The cotton gin arrangement
takes the premium over anything of
the kind we have ever seen. The
loaded wagon is driven upon the
scales and weighed. Then thing
like a stove pipe, called an elevator,
with one end in the garrct of the
gin house and the other on the cot
ton in the wagon does its work,
which is operated by means Of Il
wind machine, and in very few
minutes, it will have swallowed up
into the gin house every lock of cot
ton on the wagon. 1t is also easily
adjusted, so as to deposit the cotton
in any given stall. This process
ilutfs up the locks, knocks all the dirt
out and makes Il much better sample.
The value of improvements like these
to community cannot be csti-
mated"

OcOnce County Is Dry.

va A>Sh tti - ttS VIC [NCl pIO-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating IL
quors in Oconcc county went into
effect. The three bar-rooms in Wal
halla (Which was the only town in
the county granting liccnsc) closed
on the last day Of the old year, and
now the whole county is dry by
statutory enactment
1t is evident that the dominant sen
timcnt OF our people is in favor Of
giving the law a fair and impartial
trial. On the question of Liccnsc"
or "No License" which was submit
ted to the qualified electors OF the
county, May 1st, 1880, the vote
stood 1862 for and 922 against, thus
giving a majority of AGO against the
licensed sale of ardent spirits. This
large majority, we believe, stand rca-
dy to enforce the law, pcaccably if
they can, forcibly if they must And,
besides, many who were strong adj
vocatcs Of license and voted for it,
now arc found among the number
who openly avow the purpose to see
the law properly enforced. An cili-
cicnt public sentiment can secure
the due enforcement of the statute,
and such sentiment seems now to
have taken firm hold of the minds
of the people. Any wiliul violator
of the law will doubtless soon learn
from bitter experience that "thc way
of the transgrcssor is hard"
While there may be, and are,
slightly different opinions as to GER
tain phases Of construction OF the
Act, yet there can be, and is, no
doubt about the retail traffic in ar
dent spirits being prohibited, and he
who engages in such traffic must be
a wilful violator of the plain inhib-
ton of the statute. Against such
IN one will surely be marShallcd all
the forces Of the prohibitionists,
augmented by many others who
deem it best to have county dry
in fact as well as name. Perhaps
there may be some who will be rash
enough to try the experiment of sell
ing in defiance Of the law, but surely
all such will soon be compelled to
answer for their unlawful act at the
bar of public Justice. If the plain
inhibition Of the retail traffic can be
wilfully and successfully cvadcd and
violated by any one, then we do not
hesitate to say, give us license, and
reopen the lcgalizcd saloon; but by
all means save us from a flood OF
smugglcd or moonshinc whiskcy,
sold clandcstihcly by irresponsible
parties. Therefore it bchoovcs all
pcaccablc and law abiding citizens
to spare no efforts in bringing every
such wanton violator Of the law to
answer for his offence in our courts
of justice. Let there be no triiline
in this matter, and let no guilty party
90 unwhippcd of justice. Let a
correct and efficient public sentiment
abandon and prescribe both the sale
and use Of ardent spirits as a bower
age, and the due enforcement of the
law will follow as a matter Of course.

prohlbitionists stand idly by, per-

The New Year.

One more milc-post on the journey
from the cradle to the grave has
been passed. One more page in the
book Of this earthly life has been
written, and the record of another
year is complete. Hour by hour,
day by day, we were making the re-
cord, with hearts glad and free, or
sad and heavy, indcllibly re, ording
our thoughts, words, deeds, and as
pirations, the good--the bad, and as
the'year 1880 badc us adicu in the
silent midnight watch, its record was
closed beyond all alteration or
amendment. 1t is solemn thought
that thus we continue to write the re-
cord of our lives, s,until at last our allot-
ted time being fulfilled, the volume of
life is closed, never more to be opened
until in the presence of an assembled
universe, the Judge of nll the earth
shall read the record and thcrefrom
adjudgc us worthy of eternal life or
death. This truth should ever con
strain us to give place in the record
only 20 the true, the beautiful and
tho good, knowing that aught else
worketh death. May the new year
strengthen our resolutions for good,
and stay us more firmly in purity
and righteousness of life.
In material things we have cause
to return thanks to the Givcr of all
Good for the plenty that has crowned
the lahors of the husbandman during
the past year. The corn crop in
Oconce County and throughout the
State last year was the best in many
years. Cotton made Il reasonably
good yield, and other crops were a
fair average. Taken altogether the
outlook for the new year is very en-
couraging to the farmers of our
county, who are in good heart for
beginning the labors Of another
twelvcmonth. And the prosperity
Of the farmer means prosperity and
success in all other lines of business.
Oconec is to be congratulated OH the
fine prospects with which her people
of every business and vocation be-
gin the new year. There is much to
inspire for the future.
The COURIER enters upon the
new year i'll high hopes of continued
prosperity and success. II shall be
our aim in the future, as in the past,
to aid in the development Of our re-
sources, and to labor for the i'm
provcmcnt Of the minds and morals
of all. We feel called upon to cx-
press our gratitude to a generous
public for liberal patronag and sup
port. Our business prospects were
never better. Our subscription list
continues to grow, and while there
are homes in our county to whom
we cannot send new years greetings,
yet the number Of such is constantly
decreasing, and we trust ere many
more seasons come and go there will
be none. 70 this end we shall
earnestly strive by making the Gov
RIER a representative paper for the
whole county and necessity in every
well regulated household. And now
to one and all We wish prosperous
and happy new ycar.
