Lynching Prisoners.
Christian Nefohbor.

~
Between 8 and 4 o'clock on the
morning of December q, an armed
and masked mob Of about one hundred
men overpowered the jailer Of Barn
we'll county and took out eight negro
prisoners and carried them about a.
mile from town, tied them to trees and
shot them to death. = ,4g$
These prisoners were under charge
of numbering within the last sixty
days five white men of Barnwell coun-
ty. Two of the eight victims were
held as witnesses. a
This is horrible tragedy and the
"quiet" that is said to prevail 80 soon
after the killing does not diminish the
significance of hekilling Of the whites
or the killing of the negroes. One re-
suit of these killings will be the widen
ing and deepening of race prejudice
with corresponding enmity between
the races Another result will be an
increase of carrying deadly weapons
with a corresponding sensitiveness Of
provocation to kill on this or that side
according as the "race" line may be or
or may be imagined to be involved in
other questions concerning which
there may be a difference.
When viewed from the standpoint
of civil law the enactments of murder
ers and lynchers show contempt for
the enactments of the powers that
be-" If viewed in the light Of the
moral law those who commit such
deeds seem to have less regard for
Gods law than they have respect for
the civil law. If such bloody deeds be
considered in their effects on society
the conclusion is forced on the minds
of observing men that human life .is
getting cheaper with every such DEM
onstration, 80 that man however In Z
nocent may scarcely say that his life is
his own, seeing that he lives and
moves in the midst of men wearing as
part of their concealed toilet deadly
weapons and with no thought of God
in their minds nor fear of man in their
hearts except men who like them
selves are higher" law unto them.
selves. ..'=.S.
The whole country North and South
are reaping in gusts and spasms the
"whirlwind" of violence, destruction
and robbery-the fruit of sowing to
the "wind" during the war, and the
reason for the inability Of the ecclesi-
astical and civil powers to control the
reaping is that it was under their aus.
pices and sanction that the soling was
done.
While the adm1nlstra Of civil il
law should be made terror to evil
doers, the peoples the races-should

and at whose word devils fear aud fly.

Constitutional Amendment to DC
Killed.

The repeal of that part of the Constitution
which provides for three County Cominlssioh-
ers must be defeated at the polls. To place the
man is placing too much temptation and 700
much power in the hands Of any man, Ihs
single County Commissioner is t" be elected
as the three County Commissioners now arc
elected, Each are restraint ON TIE olher.
But let one man be County Commissioner
and then let him appoint himself Clerk ol
the Board, and we think we would nave an
undesirable state of affairs. ..,.
The wisdom and the foresight Of the people
of Abbevllle county, will give That PROPOSE
tion a black eye. or else we are greatly mis-
taken. . ,,.,,
In the first place, no single man can Meii
djscborso the onerous duties now required oi
the Board, and in the next place, the power Is
too much, and the temptation to exercise II IS
too great.

The Recent Legislature.
Christian Netoh6or.


Much Of the time of the Assembly
was taken up with "bills" of local con-
cern-or little Importance. Those Of
general interest and which have be-
come laws are the Clemson College
bill; the bill to refund the brown con-
suls; the bill to codify the laws and
the bill to purchase a Penitentiary
farm. e
1t was provided that an amendment
to the Constitution to do away with
County Commissioners be submitted
to the people.
The two mills school tax is losing its
popularity with legislators as it Is do
ing with the people who pay the taxes.
The hasty refusal near the close Of
the session to instruct our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to vote
against the Blair bill did not, We
think, represent the views of the peo-
pie of the State. Yet as we under
stand it the principle of ''free" educa-
ton by the State is identical with that
of the Blair bill. In the one case the
State undertakes to educate her chill
dren; in the other the United States
would undertake the job. "
The refusal to pass the marriage IL
cense bill is the counterpart of the no
divorce law of the State.
The bill relating to separate accom-
modations for whites and blacks on
certain railroads, was not passed, leav-
ing the matter to the railroads to man.
age as they may judge best. The bill
to sell the phosphate rights of the
State, and that proposing a change in
the time of holding the sessions of the
Legislature both failed to pass.
Until the Assembly devotes less time
to private and merely local matters the
more important matters of general in
terest will be neglected or disposed of
in manner too hasty for that order
and decercy which should character
ize the law makers of the State.

SECRETARY NOBLE ON THE LAND GRANT
QUESTION,

Secretary Noble in his report upon the
operations OF the interior department,
dwells quite lengthily upon the matter OF
the adjudication of the private land claims
in New Mexico and says as follows on the
subject
THE subject of private land claims in
Arizona, Ne" Mexico, Colorado, Florida
and California is very fully and carefully
presented in the land commissioner re-
port. The surveyor general of Arizona,
in October, 1889, reported tho claim OF
Don Miguel de Perata for almost 100000
acres to be a forgery and fraud. In Feb
ruary, 1890, the commissioner Of the gen.
eral land office passed upon the validity
of the claim, and concluding it to be in
valid struck it from the docket. An ap-
peal from this order having been taken
to the department, the legality of the
action can not be discussed here. Itmay,
however, be noted that this course has
kept the vast area included in the claim
open to settlement pending the con-
troversy, subject, of course, to any pos
sble decision in favor OF the claimant.
But if the claim is finally denounced, the
advantages to settlers OF the present &C.
ton will be very great. Had it been by
the commissioner merely adjudged I'M
founded, and reported to congress under
the act of 1854, none of the land could
have been held open to entry, as it was
therein provided that reports by the COM
missioner should be laid before congress.
and until final acton thereby all lands
covered by the claim should be reserved
from the sale or other disposal of the gov
eminent, and should not be subject to
the donations granted by the act. In this
connection another matter of great i'm
portance should be mentioned as worthy
Of immediate attention by congress. 1t is
discussed in the report OF the surveyor
general of New Mexico and referred to in
that Of the land commissioner. The facts
taken from these reports may be thus
summarized. The population of New
Mexico when acquired by the United
States was $4,000, and some of the
wealthy held large tracts of land,
but the people were, for the most part,
very poor. From the days Of Charles
Y Of Spain to the annexation, wherever
it was thought proper to found settle
ments, the viceroys and residents gave,
i'll the name Of the emperor, land, houses,
lots and waters, in conformity with the
disposition of the land. Under the re.
public OF Mexico the colonization laws
and regulations became very complete

system, well adapted to the people and
the country, and were intended to bestow
upon each one without land portion OF
the public domain. Because OF the sys-
tenn of irrigation practiced, the lands cul-
tlvated, sloping down the hills, were of
Irregular shape and apt to be separated
By divisions among heirs and subsequent
union of ownership Of separate parcels by
marriage, without console alton of the
tracts themselves.
This prevents entries nov of these
tracts under the existing land laws Of the
United States, because the lands are not
deemed to be according to our system of
