Unwiss and Unjustifable.

Speaking of the lynching of n
negro who murdered white wo-
man in Andersen county, the
Gaffnoy Ledger says.
"But from the standpoint of
soclety and healthy citizenship
the lynching was unwise and un-
Justiliab!e 1t DESTROYED one
! headed monster, but it raised y
hyGroheaded demon to take his
place. 1t struck down mul dor
by creating two hundred murder
ers. 1t avenged " violation of
law by over riding all law. 1t
attempted to annnl temporary
wrong To suci.ty and humanity
with wrongs which society aud
humanity will fssl for hundred
years to come
"Ihere Is strong probability
that the negro was demented: for
it is difficult to conceive of
normal creature in human shape
SO utterly dead to all human feel
ing and lost to all sense sf human
responsibility.
elf he was demented, every
sentiment OF humanity and Justice
demanded that sn opportunity
should be afforded this fact to
he shown. Ii he was not, then
the dignity of law demanded that
he should be punished by the
legally constituted authorities.
and there would have been no
earih'y chance for him to escape
the legal penalty.
"Our whole heart goes out in
sympathy to the young woman
who was the victim of his ticndish
deed and to the young husband
whose happiness is blightsd at
one cruel stroke, and we would
90 as far as anyone else in palliat-
ing and mitigating their issepara-
bic wrongs; but not even for this
object are we willing to inflict
still greater, widsr and more last
ing wronga on whole generation
of people.
"Not many months ago the
chief magistrate of this republic
was stricken dewn under circum-
stances equally provoking as those
attendant on the shooting of Mrs.
Craft, and though there were
thousands of infuriated people on
the ground the miserable assas-
sion was held for the punishment
of the law. The people of the
North have come grounds for their
opinions OF our civilization"
