OBEY THE DIsPENsARY LAw.-Good citi-
zens should not encourage blind tigers, sta
tionary or portable: Let us have one thing
or the other os the present State law con-
emplates-prohibition or dIspensary.
We admire the courage and nerve and
consistency cfth Spartanburg and Laurens
people who have refused to accept dispen-
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 q law, however
bad 1t may be. Governor Tillman and some
Of his heelers and agents have violated their
own law shafnefully and repeatedly by fore
ing 6ispensaries on communities where the
majority Of freehold voters opposed them,
but We can wait for the time and the
awakening Of tho public conscience and
sense of propriety TO set all such things
right and punish oil 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
waut liquor can order it from Georgia or
North Carolina and have it delivered to them
for their own use with clear conscien ces,
because high judicial authority declares that
they have the right to do so--that the section
forbidding the delivery of such goods to
purchasers is unconstitu tional, null and void
and therefore binding on no citizen. Green
vile NeWs.
That accords with our opinion exactly.
We hope the people of Union will stand
squarely with our good neighbors, Spar
tanburg aud Laurens, and while declining
to vote for local dispensary. be firm in
upholding and obeying the dispensary low
by actively and honestly opposing the unlaw-
full sale Of whiskey in any way or under
any name. Union never was so quiet, so
peaceable and so orderly as she Is now, and
We have neither barroom, dispensary or
blind tiger within its corporate limits.
JuDaE LYNCH HOLDS Court IN ABBEvILLE.
Greenwood, August 21.-This morning,
while Mr.. William Mundsy, respectable
citizen Of this community, was iu town,
vagaboud negro named Jake Davis assault ed
Mrs. Munday, who is fifty years old, and
would have accomplished his fendish pur-
pose but for the attack Of q 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 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 q tree aud shot to
death.
There was no mockery or iauntiug on the
part Of the crowd. The opportunity was
offered Davis to pray but he declined it.
a more orderly execution could not have
taken place in a we'll drilled army. The
men with the guns, some negroes among
them, formed q line fifteen PAGES 10 front Of
the doomed maa, and at the word "Fire!'
Simultaneous volley Of bullets and buckshot
went whizzing through his body. He died
without q struggle.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
coiored people. who manifested such an in
tense desire to have the wretch caught and
punished.
The same negro committed az assault on
white woman Ia this community q few
years ago, but as her character was ques-
