About Lynch or Mob Law.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will You allow me space
in your valuable paper to give the public
my views in regard to lynch or mob law?
1t is clear to my mind that lynch or
mob law is wrong and should never be
practiced. When people get the consent
of their minds to ignore or set aside the
laws OF their country, then wehave moth
ing to rely on except the ruling of vicious
men while in high state of excitement,
and no man is prepared to do business
in state of excitement
What has brought lynch law in prac-
tice? 1t is clear to my mind that the in
justice shown IN many cases since the
war has brought it into practice. 1t is
intOlerable for Il man to look upon an
other who is guilty of wiliul murder of II
father, brother or son enjoying the
privilege of this country: and the worst
has not been mentioned, one guilty of
raping Il mother, sister or daughter.
Such men enjoying the blessings OF the
country through the weight of money,
has brought lynch law in practice.
Ii the legislature would pass law
when such cases occur, making it the
duty of the sheriff OF the county to sum
mons one or two men as the case may
require, from each township, the best
mentioned in it, to the number of twelve
and have the case tried, then and there
and make their verdict final. If guilty,
and the penalty is death, execute at
once. This, think, would be Il great
saving to the county and State and
would put a stop to lynch law.

"Waiting for the Verdict"

This is the title Of a popular novel,
and may be interesting to read of, but
is very unpleasant in practice. The
judge and court officers get weary
waiting for that jury to come, but the
strain comes hardest on the prisoner at
the bar, on trial, it may be, for his
life. Whether he shall be free, suffer
a long term in prison wall OF take a
leap into the great unknown depends
on the verdict, and he waits for it in
such alternate hope and fear as can
not be described. The store of IL.
Thomson has long passed the point of
waiting for the yerdict-it has been
rendered by the public and is to the
effect that it has the largest and best
selected stock of general merchandise
to be found outside the wholesale es-
adjustments. In boots, shoes, hats,
dry goods and notions, ladies' dress
goods, staple and fancy groceries and
provisions of all kinds, feedstuffs, &C.,
his stock is very complete, and prices
are low enough to suit the times and
inclinations of buyers. Then when you
deal with Mr.. Thomson you know ex-
ac.ly what you are getting. His stock
is of the first quality and his prices are
down to the lowest notch. You can
not do better than 60 to him when in
want of anything in his line. You are
sure Of getting your moneys worth
and of being thoroughly satisfied with
what you get. This comes of trading
with dealer of known integrity and
honorable reputation for fair dealing.

1t Is true money has been scarce and
as q consequence times have been dull,
out with oil this we have much to be
thankful for, and the future We think
augurs well. Crops are good and there
is plenty to eat in the country. The bus
mess outlook for the fall is encouraging.
ihefe Is Improvement along all lines of
industry. One thing is certain, and that
Is among us OF this section there will be
no cry OF poverty and suffering We
should harvest our crops singing hymns
OF thanks and giving glory to God for
Ills mercy and manifold blessings to us.
Then let us cheer up and settle down to
business, confident in the hope that
brighter days are dawning. AS the Ger
mantown Independent APPLY remarks, we
need no better advice than that given by
the great American philosopher, printer
and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, who
said, What if.you fail in business? You
have life and health. Don't sit down and
cry about mishaps, for that will never
get you out Of debt, nor buy your chill
dren frocks. Go to work at something,
eat sparingly, dress moderately, drink
nothing exciting, and above all, keep a
merry heart and you'll get up in the
world"

The Advertising That's Effective.

1t is constant advertising that pro-
duces an effect, although the spasmodic
announcement may have a force
peculiar to itself. A boy sees his
father every day and is naturally
Influenced by the example which is
perpetually before him. Many people
protest that it is unnecessary to
continue the advertising of we'll known
articles. They cannot understand why
it is continued. They declare it does
not influence them, but the manufac-
turers know better. The man who
denies that he is influenced by adver-
Using constantly before him deceives
himself. and his very protest is proof
of it.-Hardware.

Goshaun, the Mysterious.

tO6n6un, the mysterious.
Of Prof. Goshaun, the mind reader,
who will give free public exhibition
of his powers opposite the post Office
at O'Clock this afternoon, and again
at Burwell Hall tonight, when a small
admission fee will be charged, and a
more elaborate program given, the
Charlotte News says:
Those who visited the park last
night in attendance upon the enter
tainment of Prof. Goshaun, the mind
reader, were highly pleased and mys-
titled beyond measure. The Professor
did many things which developed his
great power and tested it thoroughly.
Among the most wonderful was his
instruction to one Of the committee to
select first, victim, then the instru-
ment by which he was to be murdered,
then three coins, each from a different
person then to wrap the coins in 4
handkerchief and hide all Of them.
Goshaun, while all this was going on,
was outside in charge OF one of the
committee. Upon his return he was
blindfo.ded and a black bag drawn
over his head. The first thing he did
was to find the knife which he returned
to the owner; the next the victim,
who was slaughtered'' by the Pro-
fessor precisely as had been done be-
fore. After that he proceeded to get
the coins, which he found under the
tloorings Of the tent; opening the
handkerchief he took the coins and re-
turned them to their owners. Having
no confederate whatever, the perform
ances of the Professor border on the
mysterious.
