Without attempting to assign the rea'
sons which actuated the authors OF
either of the articles referred to, ! bee
leave to make plain and simple stato-
ment, of facts as TO me WORK OF tho
commission.
The General Assembly at Its last ses-
sion appropriated $4,000 for the pur

A CAROLINA HEROINE.

There Is a heroine at Barnwell, S. G.
She Is Miss Mary Creech. the fourteen
year-old daughter OF the county sheriff.
Several nights ago, during tho absence
| Of her father, there was a knock at the
door of the JAIL and when she opened
| the door she was confronted BY BODY
| Of masked men, the spokesman demand
| ing the keys or the jail and stating THAI
| they had come to take possession OF l's
prisoner who was held for murder. The
girl replied that she would go to her
| fathers room for the keys. she did go to
her fathers room. but when she returned,
instead Of having the keys, she had IN
her hand rifle, which she knew well
how to use. The moon was shining
| brightly, and the men on the outside
were easy targets. She put up her gun
and told the men that II they did not dis
perse and depart she would Kill the last
one Of them. The men took her at her
word and left prccipitately.
Hurrah for Miss Mary Creechl She
has done a great public service. She
has not only saved a man from mob
violence and INDICATED the law. but
,she has set noble example, which all
officers Of the law will do we'll to emu
late.
In nine cases out of ten, perhaps, GER
tainly in the majority Of such cases,
show OF true courage on the part Of
the officers of the law is all that Is neces-
sary to prevent mob violence. Lawless
men have certain degree Of bravado,
but usually they are lacking In true cour-
age. and when confronted by a brave
officer they cannot stand. This little
girl in South Carolina, representing the
majesty of the law and having the
courage to do what she knew to be right,
sngly and alone, put to flight q mob
OF strong men. If all officers of the law
on all occasions would follow her ex-
ample mob violence would be rare and
more rarely still would the mob succeed
in its lawless undertaking.
