a woman..s love is a remarkable thing
a woman's love has saved Alfred Taylor
from prison. While rooming at Mrs
MoIiie Owens, in Chicago, he was arrest
ed for stealing from his landlady s2S5 IL
money and $500 in jewelry. Mrs. Owens
had a tender feeling for Taylor, and when
she saw him locked up she repented.
Then she got Attorney Burrows to de.
fend Taylor, and herself gave bonds upon
which he was released. Instead of being
eager to prosecute him, she said she
would do anything to ave the prisoner.
The evidence, however, was conclusive,
and there was only n way to save him.
By the statutes a wife in Illinois is not a
competent witness against her husband
unless she chooses to testify. So they
got married.

before him, we must
friend to the tender mercies of those
whose testimony would be competent on
a trial Of the case: which clearly should
not DE had in the first instance in the
public prints.
But our neighbor is such a blind devo-
tee of Gov. Tillman that there is no hope
that the scales will ever fail from its eyes
sufficiently for it to see the truth in ali
its glare, or ever rise TO the height of
criticising one of his official acts, however
reprehensible and unlawful it may be.
Come up, contemporary: on to the high
ground, where you can uphold law and
order and do battle for the protection of
property and of society

Lynchins in Lanrens.

1t is supposed that Dave Shaw, colored,
was lynched in Laurens on the night OF
May -. He had been arrested for burg
lazy and larceny, and was in the custody
of the constable aud two assistants, en-
rer,te to the office OF Trial Justice John
r. uellams for preliminary examination.
In MS report 20 the Governor, Justice
IIellams says:
I'm crossing the bottoms OF South
@Pabun creek they were accoSted by a
cody OF men, who were in ambush and
called on TO hands up. The constable
reported tina he was covered with pis-
tolls and fred upon and ordered to take
the road back. Others grabbed hold of
him and forced the line, by which he held
the prisoner, from him. He says that it
was then good dark and he could not
recognize any one among the outlaws.
II have been on the scene and have
tried to investigate the matter as far as |
was able. found where they had car
ricd the prisoner in the thickets and
hung him to a limb, either to whip him
or otherwise punish him. | found a
pool of blood there. and from the signs
there must have been a considerable
BODY of men. Ny constable says there
were fifty or s~evcnty-five. The prisoner
has not been seen or heard of since the
lynching. l have had the creek and mill
pond searched for his body, but have
made no discovery of him. 1t is the gen
eral opinion that he was ordered to skip
the country.
ssThe facts leading to the lynching are
these: It was generally considered that
Dave Shaw did the stealing and the evil
dence leading to proof was circumstan-
tial and would not probably convict him.
1t is known that he was running a one
horse farm without any visible means OF
support, that corn cribs were being
entered by e of false keys and corn
taken lherefrom. This lynching is
deploreG by our best citizens. If any
further facts come up l will notify you.
The negroes are still se~archingfor Dave"
Gov. Tillman has instructed Solicitor
Schumpcrt to make a vigorous investiga-
ton of TIE facts and bring the outlaws tc
justice.
It is with deep regret we note the
seeming increase of disposition among
the people to visit summary punishment
on supposed criminals in Judge Lynch's
court. When lynching is resorted to for
theft aid housebreaking the door is
thrown vide open for the reign of mob
violence. Gov. Tillman should receive
the earnest support of e-ecx iaS-abiding
man in the State in his eommendable
efortto bring the tynchers to face the
J. awful consequences of their crime.

aW!hat of the night9" They arrogantly
replied, Alrs well; plow harder, work
more and spend less" but the people
we're wiser than they thought, and in
their indignation they arose in 1890 and
swept these bosses from off the face OF
the earth in South Carolina. 1t win
never return to infest this generation
with political Ieprosy.
Nj. Cary imparts news indeed when
he says: @For instance, when assembled
as a secret, oath-bound organization,
twenty-four members decided to adopt
the platform and resolution of another
political party as sound Democratic prin-
ciples and say to two thousand Demo
cratic voters, This is Democracy" To
what secret, oath-bound organization
does he allude? Has Mr.. Cary a little
band of twenty-four members, joined in
a secret, oath-bound organization In
Seneca, of which he is president, who
hold their dark lantern caucuses in the
Silly night, after the Reformers have gone
to bed, and grind out their resolutions
and say to the two thousand Democrats
in Oconee, this is Democracy. 1t would
seem so, and this is his warning. So
Democrats look out.
Mr.. Cary says the st. Louis. Ocala,
anti Cleveland Democrats threw off the
name of Democracy and have unfurled
the banner of the Third Party over in
North Carolina. From which I infer
that he would be glad to see the large
majority of white Democrats in this
State follow their example. If they
would what would become of the Democ-
racy? What would become of white
supremacy in South Carolina?
No. no, Mr.. Cary, we propose to take
care of the white mans government UNI
der the rule of majorities. We have a
State platform that suits us, On which
we propose to stand with both feet.
This platform was made by the people Of
South Carolina, its principles identical
with the st. Louis platform. Does Mr..
Cary stand squarely upon this platform?
Will he vote for Benjamin r. Tillman for
Governor if nominated by the September
convention? Respectfully yours.
