Hangings.

The Laurensville Herald notes that Browns
was the third execution at that place within
the last four years. all colored. Laurens. like
other counties, seems to haye little trouble In
enforcing the law against negroes. White
men in this State are seldom convicted OF
murder, and even when a chance jury does
It's duty. the Governor, or somebody else,
finds good reason for communication or pardon
Strange, isn't it, that negro Is 80 often ut an
Inquest. and nearly always at hanging?
Laurens Juries, we presume, find verdicts in
about the same way that other Juries do, and
we attach no blame to anybody. We merely
note fact. Abbeville jurles have not COL
victed white man OF murder since Demo
cratic reconstruction, though negro now
and then has been offered premature passage
up the golden stairs. Quite number negroes
we're hanged in different parts Of the South
last Friday.

COosaw.

We have not tried to understand the intrl'
caaies and legal points Of the Injunction
AGAINST the Coosaw company In the matter OF
digging phosphate rock, but the TACT that the
revenue is stopped concerns every tax payer,
and 1t is easily understood that the denclencS
must be made good in some way.
Unless operations are resumed one or Two
things will:be necessary, namely: the assess
ment Of property must be raised, or else the
rax leyy must be increased. "All things
which are lawful are not expedient." Every
man In the State will realize the force Of this
remark, and 1t is quite likely that some OF our
citizens will be i'm pressed with the Idea tnat
the government is committing error by aroi'
trary action against the largest tax payer IN
the State.
Tba Press and Banner has no feeling what
aver for or against the Coosaw Company.
J We are in position to hope that the Courts
NAV " hev to the line, let the chips fall where
they may"
But We do not want the revenue stopped
vhile the process Of scoring and hewins Is
going on.
A stropg sentiment will no doubt be devel-
oped before the beginning OF the next cam
paign, and the people will probably demand
10 know Of candidates for political preierment
whether they are for or against ibis ao
ton of the Government which is killing the
goose that lays the golden egg.
While Governor Tillman Will have the sup
port Of o large following, no matter what ne
does, and while 1t is equally true that ne Will
haye pronounced and active opposition, no
matter how faithfully he may discharge the
public trust, yet there Is much larger con-
ssrvative element. who will support the right
rs they see 1t, no matter who Is In office.
II Is useless for Mr.. Tillmsn to undertake to
please or placate that element which is unal
terably opposed TO him.
II il likewise unnecessary for him to DO any
thing merely for the purpose Of strengthen
ing himself with those who will endorse his
course under any circumstances.
His friends and his opponents are factions
As the Governor Of the State he should seek
10 be the Governor OF the whole people, and
his courss should be to serve the best interests
OF all.
$ The State can have no spite against the Coo
saw Company. 1t can only demand its rights
against the Company, aud in demanding
those equities, tho Government should not
punish tax payers by taking unnecessary ac-
tion whereby the people W i'll suffer the loss Of
sl95. 900 annually.
] Another matter which concerns us Is this !:
While the Coosaw Company is stopped, the
/ demand for phosphate rock Is not decreased
This may have a tendency to develop the
Florida phosphate rock in such quantities as
TO permanently inJure the value OF our own
phosphate beds.

Not Able to Do the Subject Justice.

Our credulity was stretched to concert pitch
when 1t was announced that lots outside OF
the town of Greenwood were sold last
Wednesday at from 65 cents to $l.25 front
root, but when smaller lots in an old field. in
an uninhabited part OF the county called CAL
houns Falls, is bid of at S. front foot, we are
speechless. 1t may be that actual, solid dol.
lars were thus invested last Friday. Ifso
then the day for reckless buying is upon us.
There are few lots in the town OF Abbeville,
with no greater depth than l3O feet, which
would bring SO front foot, three hundred
yards from the public square.
We have not made the calculation ourself,
but we learn that others estimated the sales
