A LYNCHING PREVENTED.
Negro Murderer Saved from a Mob
by the Strategy of Sheriff
Graham.

Sheriff Graham of Williamsbur,
county by courage and strategy saved
the life of negro who had murdered
a white man at Lake City in tina,
county. The negro, Cato Williams
had bought mule from Mr.. McGee
a livery stable man, and quarrel
ensued. Mr.. McGee knocked the
negro down and walked toward the
door of the stable, as he turned round
again the negro fired twice ut him,
one ball entered the abdomen and one
just below the left nipple, either
would have proved fatal. The negro
ran and was hotly pursued by the
police and posse of mounted men
and was soon captured and locked ND
in the town lookup. The sheriff was
notified and urged to come at once
as there was great danger of the
negro being taken out and lynched.
The sheriff took the negro to iail
A large crowd gathered around the
Jail demanding the prisoner, the iail
was entered and search made. In
the meantime the sheriff had spirited
the negro away and spent the night
with his prisoner in the swamps, af-
terwards conveying him to Columbia
for safe keeping,
We give the above brief statement
merely to set before sheriffs of other
counties Of the State the example of
sheriff who has upheld and main
tanned the honor of his county and
State by promptly doing his duty.
We are sure that there are other
'sheriffs who would under similar cir
cumstances have done or ATTEMPTED
to do the same thing. We most
heartily commend Sheriff Graham for
his fearless and unflinching adher
ence to duty. We are strongly op-
posed to mob law, and unhesitatingly
denounce lynching, but for one crime
only, lot that crime be committed by
whom it may.
We publish in today's issue of The
TIMES the best article on lynching
we have ever read.

grim determination to conduer every
obstacle. Baltimore does not ask for
aims, but it does ask that the sentiment
which has such a strong power in ruling
business interests shall make itself felt
in not permitting her trade to be taken
away because of the temporary inability
to promptly meet all requirements. The
merchants and manufacturers who,
through many years Of honorable deal
ings have built up far-reaching trade,
North and West as well as South, have
a right in this time of calamity, to ask
their customers 10 be little patient and
if the necessities cf their trade require
the quick filling or orders elsewhere, to
be ready to come back to their Balti-
more friends with enlarged orders just
as soon as our people are prepared to
handle them. With the immense in
crease in the wealth of the South 10y
reason Of high price of cotton and the
Consequent enormous expansion of trade
throughout that section, the merchants |
of the South could not only arrange to |
make prompt payment to Baltimore |
merchants of every outstanding bill, |
even if not technically due, and every !
dc" h sent to Baltimore now in payment
accounts Is worth hundred dollars
given i'll charity but that section, could
by generous realization of the powor of
sentiment ia business, send into this
city volume of business which would
go long way towards helping our
people recoup their losses. Every sales
man from Baltimore has right to ask
his customers, and To ask those in his
territory who have not heretofore been
his customers, for the most favorable
consideration and the largest orders.
When amid the wleck and ruin of the
war the South took up its overwhelming
burdens, it had right to ask for every
legitimate aid and consideration that
the business men Cf America could
give lis merchants. and Baltimore, iden-
titled by geographical lines, as well as bv
closer kin, did its full share to the ut
most Of lis abilits in helping the South
to weather the storm. Ever since then
its money has freely gone iuto the South.
for investment in railroads, in industrial
in municipal securities, in
trade and in building operations. The
ties between Baltimore and the South
have yearly grown stronger, and because
the Manufacturers Record is not local
paper, but Southern paper--a paper
that has for nearly quarter of a cent
ury sought to speak for the whole South |
and not for Baltimore alone, it can say
to the South, as no purely Baltimore .e-
per could, that now is the South's su-
preme opportunity to show that with its
people at least sentiment does control
business, and based on that pour into
this city such trade as will tax the
ability Uf our merchants to handle.
Baltimore asks no charity, but for the
people of Baltimore, that their losses
may the more quickly be recouped and
the Thousands of men thrown out of en-
ployment may the sooner be saved from
dire want, the Manufacturers Record,
the exponent of the whole South, does
make this plea to the South, as web as
to all other SECTIONS.
