OBEf THE DlSPENSARf LAw.-G00t clti-
zcns should not encourage blind tigers, sta
tionary or portable: Let us have one thing
or the other os the present State law con-
template prohibition or dlspenssry.
We admire the. courage and nerve and
consistency CT the Spartanburg and Laurens
people who have refused to accept dispcn-
sary. Let them stick to their position and
enforce straight prohibition No community
can afford TO put itself in the position of
being in league to violate n law, however
bad it may be. Governor Tillman and some
of his heelers and agents have violated their
own law shamefully and repeatedly by fore
ing dispensaries on communities where the
majority Of freehold voters opposed them,
but we can wait for the time and the
awakening of the public conscience and
sense of propriety to set all such things
right and punish all such offenders. Mean
while let all good citizens obey the laws as
they are patiently and loyalty.
AS we under stand it. there is really no
excuse for Violating the law. People who
watt liquor can order it from Georgia or
North Carolina and have it delivered to them
for their own use with c,elr conscien ces,
because high judicial authority declares that
they have the right to do so--lhat the section
forbidting the delivery of such goods to
purchasers is unconstitutional, null and void
and therefore binding on no ,izen.-Green-
vile Ne,cs.
We hope the people of Union will stand
squarely with our good neighbors, Spar
tanburg and Laurens, and while declining
to vote for a local dispensary. be firm in
upholding and obeying the dlspensary law
by actively and honestly opposing the unlaw-
full sale of whiskey in any way or under
any name. Union never was 90 quiet, 50
peaceable and so orderly as she is now, and
we have neither a barroom, dispensary or
e blind tiger within its corporate limits
JUDGE LYNCH HOLDS Court IN ABBEvILLE.
Greenwood, August 21.-This morning,
while Mr.. William Munday, respectable
citizen Of this community was in town, a
yagaboud negro named Jake Davis assaulted
Mrs. Munday, who is fifty years DID, and
would have accomplished his iendish pur-
pose but for the attack Of a fierce yard dog,
which frightened him away, leaving his VIC
tim conside rably bruised.
A posse Of cool yet determined men, both
white and black, were soon securing the
country for him and caught him at Ninety
Six this evening about 4 o'clock. He was
Immediately carried before Mrs. Munday,
who readily and without a shadow Of doubt
identified him. Several colored women en-
the place testified to his presence there about
the time the assault was committed.
There being no doubt of his guilt, he was
quietly led to an open field near the house,
bound to the trunk Of tree aud shot to
death.
There was no mockery or taunting on the
part of the crowd. The opportunity was
offered Davis to pray but he declined il.
a more orderly execution could not have
taken place in well drilled army. The
men with the guns, some negroes among
them, formed line fifteen PAGES in front of
the doomed man, and at the word Fire a
simultaneous volley of bullets and buckshot
went whizzng through his body. He died
without q struggle.
Too much praise cannot be given 10 the
colored people. who manifested such an in
tense desire to have the wretch caught and
punished.
The same negro committed an assault on
white woman in this community a few
years ago. but as her character was quc1-
tionable he was allowed to go unpunished
