Morgan w. Thrailkill, who killed
Benjamin B. Burton at Monetta,
Saluda county, in April, was tried at
Saluda this week and the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty with a
recommendation to mercy. The evil
dence showed that Thrailkill, assisted
by his son, was the aggressor.
Thrailkill, however, had all kinds of
evidence to show that he did the
shooting in defense of his life. 1t
was pretty clear to the jury that the
defense had been made necessary by
his own action. The younger Thrail-
kill was not indicted.

Conservative and Jus.
FNew York evening Post. ]

If the Evening Post is sometimes
oversaken in fault, it is glad to be
overtaken in one that leaps so
strongly to virtues side as oyerreadi,
nesss to praise those that under great
difficulty strive to uphold the or
derly administration of the law. The
tragic holocaust at Statesboro, Ca,
in which the miscreant participants
lowered themselves to the moral
level of their victims, proved us in
error when we spoke yesterday of
the military precautions against mob
violence as being 'prompt and effect
ive." AS matter of fact they were
disgracefully feeble and inadequate.
We do not find, however, that we
have word to retract in our state
ment that "Too great credit and
honor cannot be given to all the
people of Statesboro, Ga, concerned
with conducting the trial rof the
negroes charged with the murder of
the Hodges family" The eIimina-
tion of mob violence will not be the
work of day or year, but leaders
Of the better class of citizens, such
as Judge DAILY and Rev. Mr.. Hodges
are worthy of all the greater credit
for their willingness to engage in an
uphill fight under particularly trying
circumstances. The fact that Judge
and jury did their duty at Statesboro
only makes it all the more important
that the prosecuting authorities and
the Governor of the State should
now give their attention TO the mob.
There never was less excuse for a
lynohing, for the Court had done it's
work promptly and the death pen
atty stared the murderers in the face.
Merely to have the satisfaction of
burning the negroes, the lynchers
swept aside the soldiers, defed the
authorities, and turned deaf ear to
the pleadings of the Judge. We
have not lost faith overnight that
the better element of the South ia
strongly opposed to such outrages.
But the "best citizens" are on trial
now. If they do not come forward
and insist upon the punishment of
the white lynohers in the name of
humanity and civilization, if they
remain silent in the face Of such an
attack upon swift-handed justice,
then they must be considered as
either craven or criminal. Gov.
Terrell, absent from his post, should
return without moments delay to
set the example by insisting upon
the enforcement of the law and the
punishment of the offending militia
officers.

"What do thou knowest not now, but thou
shalt know hereafter" "-Chrsst.
Sometime, when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And the sun and stars forevermore have set.
The things which our weak judgment here have
spurned,
The things Ger which we grieved with lashes
Will flash before us, out of life's dark night,
AS stars shine more in deeper tints of blue.
And we shall see how all Gods plans were right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, when we called He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see,
And even as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things, because 1t seemeth
good.
And If sometimes, commingled with hfe's wine,
We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink
And IL some friend we love is lying low.
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
o do not blame the loving Father so.
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
, Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery find key.
But not today. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold,
We must not tear the cose-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the hidden cups of gold,
And if through patient toll we reach the land
Where weary feet, with sandals loose may
Then shall we know and clearly understand:
l think that we shall say, "God knew the best"'
