SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

All Are winners.
The congressional campaign in the
Sixth district for the seat recently re-
signed by Senator McLaurin, came to
u close LAST Saturday. The Columbia
Register thinks that Comptroller Gen
eral Norton will be the winner, and
each of the other candidates feel GER
tain that each will be the lucky man.
Prevented Lynching.
One day this week, says a Gatfney
special of last Saturday to the Columbia
State, Negro was arrested in the lower
part of Cherokee county, charged with
an attempt to commit rape upon a
white woman, Mrs. Parrish. The
community was righteously indignant
at its occurrence but wise counsel pre-.
vailed and q warrent was issued by
Magistrate J. L. Strain, who had the
Negro promptly arrested, and after
examining the witness-Mrs. Parrish
committed the Negro to jail to await
trial at the approaching term of the
court of general sessions. During the
Preliminary examination, large crowd
gathered at the office of the magistrate
and open threats were made that led
to the belief that an attempt would be
made to lynch the brute. But the
magistrate gave them to understand
that the prisoner was in the hands OF
the law and that the law would be
maintained at all hazards. He depu-
tized two men-W. II. Osmont and
Joe Estes-to take the prisoner to Jail,
and instructed them to defend him to
the last. He also said he intended to
show to the world that Cherokee
county was capable of selfgovernment,
and that the law would be upheld
within its limits. The resolute man
uer in which the magistrate spoke and
acted was sufficient to warn the mob
that any attempt to lynch the prisoner
would cause bloodshed, and the crowd
wisely dispersed but not without show
its desire to avenge the wrong done a
white woman. Many people are criti-
cizing the magistrate for his actions in
the matter; but it is due him to say
that he told them that if there was a
disposition to lynch the Negro it should
have been done before he was taken
in hand by the law. The best element
of our people are in sympathy with
the magistrate and will uphold him in
his action.
