4 REMEDY FOR LYNCHING.
South CarOlina'S Governor Discusses
1.-THE Dispensary Question.

COLUMBIA S. c., January 10.-The
General Assembly Of South Cafolina con-
vened In actual session to-day. There are
eighty new members in the body. IN the
House the former Speaker. Frank b.
Gary, was unanimously reelected.
In the Senate the Governors message
was read and two resolutions looking TO
the extension of time for the payment of
taxes were introduced.
LYNCHING DISCUSSED.
Governor Ellerbe, in his message. took
OCCASION TO refer 10 matter now very
much in the public mind-the subject OF
lynching. lie says at the outset:
During the last several years there
has been an apparently increasing dis
position among US to attempt the right
ing Of real or supposed wrongs by the
law-breaking practice Of lynching" He
states that IT means the abolition of the
regular order of justice and this is the
first step in the destruction Of social
order. Concluding, he says the remedy
suggests itself. "See TO IT as conservators
of the peace Of the State, as makers of
its laws as the guardians of its sacred
honor. that its laws are so enacted and
so administered that conviction and pun
ishment shall follow crime with the GER
tainty that links effects TO causes. IL Is
possible; it is necessary I'm the protection
of society and vindication of justice that
a stop be put TO those legal bubbles,
those astute technicalities, that vice en-
couraging dilatoriness in the administra-
u0n Of justice which tends not so much
to the protection OF individual rights as
to the subversion of the rights Of So
ciety, and to utter loss Of confidence in
the stability and even in the possibility
Of government.
OFFICERS SHOULD BE BOLDER.
THAT an officer charged with the duty
OF holding and OF protecting a prisoner
should suffer him 10 be seized and snatch
ed from the hands Of the representatives
Of the states power and sovereignty
should constitute forfeiture I'm itself OF
his office; for IT is confession of indisposl-
ton or OF inability 10 perform the high
duty committed 10 him. Such officers Will
never correct lawlessness, for they are
either in sympathy with it or they are
afraid OF IT,
'As an additional measure OF restraint
II would be well, and recommend that
any county in which the crime OF lynch
ing is committed shall be liable to the
heirs OF the victim Of the lynchers in the
sum OF s. 600. and that men who shall be
convicted Of participation in lynching shall
be deprived Of the right TO vote or hold

paper was taken UP with review OF the
business Of the year as affecting Rich
