THE CAMPBELL LYNCHING,

Editor of the Times:
Sir,-One of your subscribers wants 70
thank you earnestly for your editorial
utterances on that miserable travesty OF
justice at Amherst. That's Christian
civilization for you, with vengeance,
isn't it? And in growing over this inlqui-
tous verdict-a verdict of sort to make
a lover of his State hang his head in
shame, at the same time he burns with
indignation-the question of the right or
wrong of Mr.. Crawford's original charge
against Judge Campbell does not enter at
all. That may have been wholly libellouS.
But even if it was, a dignified citizen of
Virginia might have exhibited at least
as much reverence for law as was shown
by the heather town clerk of EpheSus
when he said: wherefore. il Demetrius and
the craftsmen which are with him have a
matter against any man. the law is open,
and there ara peputies; let them implead
one another" I presume Virginia law
provides for libel
No wonder Judge Campbell wanted to
push the trial right through. then and
there. No wonder he was willing to have
the Commonwealth Attorney put into
the mouth of an absent witness anything
the attorney desired. 1t was evidently a
case of plain sailing to an acquittal. One
incident alone Will show this, and that is
the fact that the audience broke into
applause when one man, on being Ques-
toned as to his fitness as a juror, said
that in his opinion 1.-The preacher had not
got half enough" Why the presiding
judge did not see from that outbreak of
feeling that there was not going to be
a fair trial, is a mysery.
The writer of this has not the slightest
personal acquaintance with any of the
men Immediately concerned in the trial
Cor mis-trlaD. and Is not saying a word
in favor of Mr.. Crawford. l think he
should have been made to prove his
charge, or else TIC suffer the penalty OF
the law. Nor am l at all concerned with the
fact that he is minister. I grieve to
say that ministers seem to me some
times to use harsh languagely in a COW
ardly way. knowing that their profession
throws around them a shield that does
not Usually protect other men. Judge
Campbell undoubtedly had strong pro-
vocation, but he should have shown him
self a strong man. and to the law he
should have made his appeal.
But he did not. and it is going to be
pretty hard for him to purge himself OF
contempt before the bar Of honest and
unprecedented public opinion.
Amherst county has made itself '.the
equal il not the peer (who did write
that English, 1t needs .'doctoring." If
nothing else there does) of Loudoun, in
the depth of humiliation to which it has
sunk itself.
Mr. Evans. the Commemorative Attor-
ney, is to be congratulated on his brave
stand for law. His course is almost the
only redeeming feature in that wretched
business. SENSE OF JUSTICE.

For County Recorder.

In another column will be found the
announcement of Nit Simms for tho
Office of county recorder, subject to
tho endorsement of the democratic
county convention. Mr., Simms is one
of the most prominent and active busi-
ness men in Clifton, and is well
qualified for the position to which he
aspires. He is not only democrat,
but has ALWAYS been hard worker in
the ranks of the party, and is deserv-
ing of recognition. He is one of the
strongest men in the east end Of the
county. and in fact stands well all over
the county. and if nominated will
prove a tower of strength to the
ticket. His many friends in the east
end OF the county are taking an active
interest in his candidacy, believing
that in so doing they are serving the
best interests of the party.
Mr.. Simms is practical book-keep
81 accountant having had much
experience in that line for large mer-
camille establishments, which would
be of great benefit to him in conduct
ing the business of the office.

THE Liberal takes the opportunity
to congratulate Graham county on one
result OF the acquittal of Mcintosh,
who murdered Reilly, and that is that
there is now in the county a paper
which does not hesitate to denounce
u murder, and speaks in fitting terms
OF justice. There have been many ac-
quittals OF murders in Graham county,
but never has the Bulletin nor the
Guardian spoken in fitting terms OF a
jury which has failed to do its duty.
/ Even on this occasion the Bulletin
doubted the propriety OF the action OF
Judge Doan in rebuking the jury.
The ERA, of Clifton, however. has
taken stand for law and order, the
enforcement OF the laws and the pun
ishment OF criminals which is com
mended and endorsed by the better
l'class OF people of the county, which
class forms a majority in the county
despite the many miscarriages OF JUS
tice which have occurred in that county,
and the apparent approval of such
miscarriages by the press of that
county and some OF it's prominent citi-
zens. Let the FRA keep up its good
work, let it continue to call killer a
murderer, let it continue To rebuke
Jurors who do not do their duty and
the time will soon come when in
Graham county the public sentiment
will be rs strong against murderers Is
it is now against horse thieves. The
